Chapter 386: Chapter 036 Xuan Restriction

"So it turns out, I was wondering how Wulan Xuanzhe understood ’Xuan Restriction’ so quickly, it turns out there was a heaven-sent serendipity!"

The Great Sun Xuanzhe quickly changed the subject when he saw the two were almost about to fight.

"And to think, being around this Body of Destiny, serendipity could turn into a dead end. If it weren’t for—"

"Alright, Wulan Xuanzhe, the battle has started. Pay close attention!"

Jia Yongheng saw that this woman was about to start ’leaking secrets’ again and was immediately speechless, promptly diverting her attention.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Wulan Xuanzhe immediately refocused on the battle between Zhou Yan and Xiao Tianlun.

Not far from Wulan, the Light Vein Xuanzhe’s charming eyes suddenly revealed a contemplative color and then, with a playful look, she sized up Jia Yongheng, seemingly guessing the secret within.

Similarly, at that moment, the Great Sun Xuanzhe’s gaze shifted, subtly concealing the shock and delight that had appeared deep in his pupils.

"Damn it, it looks like these two have seen right through me. Well, if I can’t keep it a secret anymore, it might as well be made known to everyone! It’s just the appearance of a Secret Realm, nothing so great! Moreover, this ’Heavenly Heart Secret Realm’... is filled with extreme dangers. To get the benefits, first, having these people pave the way wouldn’t be so bad!"

Jia Yongheng sighed in his heart, knowing that once this single-minded woman, Wulan, knew the secret, it couldn’t be kept. Yet, he didn’t expect her to be so foolish!

Without any way out in a desperate situation, what other method is there besides ’finding the Secret Realm, using the Secret Realm to escape the predicament, and then leaving the Secret Realm’?

She didn’t say it, but the others aren’t fools. Plus, with so many people here and Wulan’s loud voice, it’s likely that many Cultivators will guess it in an instant...

Jia Yongheng gave it some thought and couldn’t help but curse Wulan as a foolish woman with a single-track mind.

However much he cursed her though, Jia Yongheng still turned his attention back to the battle between the Thunderflame Sword Body and the Tai Chu Sword Body.

...

"This Thunderflame Sword Body truly lives up to its ancient lineage, comparable to the Emperor Qi Sword Body. His physical strength has definitely surpassed that of the Emperor Qi Sword Body."

After watching for a moment and seeing Zhou Yan merely stomp his foot and a Secondary Main Peak collapse, Jia Yongheng couldn’t help but take a sharp breath.

"Yes, he has indeed surpassed him. But it’s actually not comparable. With the same Constitution, the Emperor Qi Sword Body comes from a tiny place like the barbaric natives, lacking resources for cultivation; it’s already not easy for him to get to this step. While this Thunderflame Sword Body has emerged from an ancient place like Thunder Flame Breaking Path Mountain, with the nourishment of the Ancient Land and resources in all aspects, it’s only natural for him to be stronger than the Emperor Qi Sword Body, and such physical strength is to be expected."

When it came to topics like Combat Power and Constitution, Wulan Xuanzhe was surprisingly spiritual, speaking with authority and poise.

"This woman, although she’s rough and simplistic, and even somewhat foolish in other aspects, is an absolute genius in battle. Her Sword Intent could even crush space, formidable to a terrifying degree."

Jia Yongheng couldn’t help but make such an analysis internally.

"Not bad, indeed incomparable. It seems that this Thunderflame Sword Body Zhou Yan is not inferior to that Emperor Qi Sword Body Zhou Yan."

Jia Yongheng sighed.

Speaking of Emperor Qi Sword Body Zhou Yan, apart from lamenting, he also felt it was a pity.

For such a genius to have fallen was indeed a great loss.

To grow to an Invincible state under the Void Realm in a small place like Canglan City, below Carefree Main City, obviously touching upon ’Xuan Restriction,’ was just one step away from having Combat Power Break Nine!

Break Nine, understanding, and even breaking ’Xuan Restriction,’ to become a True Xuan Level genius, is what places one truly above ordinary people.

Break Nine, breaking Xuan Restriction, means breaking the Combat Power rules of Heaven and Earth, no longer restrained by Heaven and Earth Rules, ignoring Realm!

At that step, unless facing a True Xuan Level genius where Realm and Combat Power still need to be considered, encountering any True Man or True Spirit Level genius below the Sword Tribulation Realm is a complete overwhelming force!

Because once ’Xuan Restriction’ is open, it is equivalent to breaking the rules and Tao of this world, and one can act against the heavens.

It’s like being the will that dominates this piece of Heaven and Earth; even without any strength, a wave of will can kill just as easily!

True Xuan Level, compared to True Spirit Level, seems only a chasm away, but once crossed, the difference is like heaven and earth!

Within this, every step further in Combat Power, mastery over Xuan Restriction deepens!

If one Breaks Nine, even in the Sword Heart Realm, one can be Invincible throughout the Void Realm.

Xuan Restriction is the Supreme Dao, the rules that lay down the Rules of Heaven and Earth, it is the Origin!

Nine Origin Heavenly City recruits such geniuses!

And such geniuses, across the scope of 108 prefectures, over ten thousand Great Domains, more than a hundred thousand Main Cities, and nearly two billion city-states, are barely a thousand who can comprehend ’Xuan Restriction.’

One city holds billions of Cultivators.

One Main City governs 108 cities.

One Great Domain governs 108 Main Cities.

One prefecture governs 108 Great Domains.

And one South Desolate Continent governs 108 prefectures!

Imagine how massive the population base is?

This doesn’t even include the number of geniuses that come from various planets in the Outer Domain.

Among so many people, barely a thousand can comprehend ’Xuan Restriction.’

This ratio can already be said to be nearly one in a trillion.

Only such genius individuals are qualified to compete and wage war within the Heavenly Emperor Universe.

And only such genius individuals possess fateful serendipity, strength, and Combat Power!

Other Cultivators who go are merely cannon fodder, destined only for death.

As Jia Yongheng thought these things, his gaze unconsciously watched Zhou Yan ascend into the Void.

He didn’t know that, while he was focusing on Zhou Yan, Zhou Yan was actually also aware of everything happening on his side.

...

Step by step, ascending into the Void, Zhou Yan’s Soul, transformed once again, had a clear controlling power over everything between Heaven and Earth.

He had already sensed that the suppression of his Realm was gradually ceasing to exist, feeling a mysterious aura that put him on par with the Heaven and Earth Rules.

Thus, when Jia Yongheng appeared, Zhou Yan grasped it immediately. He showed no particular reaction and, even while stepping through the Void, managed to sense the frightening conversation between the few Cultivators present.

Previously, Zhou Yan did not know how strong Jia Yongheng was, but now, he could assert that Jia Yongheng’s Combat Power was not inferior to his own, as it had clearly touched the threshold of "Xuan Restriction."

It was only after hearing their conversation that Zhou Yan learned of a "chasm" he was unaware of, the Combat Power "Break Seven" known as "Xuan Restriction".

This term could only be understood among truly genius individuals.

Without reaching this state, it was entirely incomprehensible.

Ignoring Realm pressure, crushing True Spirit Level geniuses like slaughtering dogs, like a supreme being, this was a True Xuan Level genius who had mastered "Xuan Restriction."

Such a genius was a true humanoid Fierce Beast, a monstrous giant, a real genius that appeared once every million years.

Those so-called geniuses from before would pale greatly in comparison to such a talent.

"No wonder... no wonder those top-ranked geniuses are so terrifying... that woman Wulan, who crushed my sensing power, is barely ranked one hundred and first, but she is already incredibly fearsome, born for battle, specialized in combat..."

"With this, the challenge of this Holy Daughter’s suitor selection is indeed tremendous! This is a true collision of geniuses."

Zhou Yan thought to himself.

Although he could not completely suppress Realm suppression and did not understand what "Xuan Restriction" was, he was extremely confident, confident enough to crush Xiao Tianlun!

Thinking this, he had already stepped onto the Life and Death Battle Platform.

All this seemed like a long time, but it was just a moment.

The exchange between Wulan and the other three Profound Level geniuses was, in fact, incredibly fast, merely a moment.

But they would never have imagined that their entire conversation, even the exchanges of all the other Cultivators, was detected by Zhou Yan’s mutated Soul sensing power.

Since his physical reconstitution and the powerful Transformation of his body and Soul, Zhou Yan’s extraordinary sensing had become so refined that it was silent and undetected, even by these Profound Level geniuses.

...

Xiao Tianlun stood proudly on the Life and Death Battle Platform.

The moment Zhou Yan stepped onto the platform, Xiao Tianlun had already made his move.

He held nothing back, for his Realm was now on the same level as Zhou Yan’s.

"Tai Chu Heaven and Earth!"

"Creation of Heaven and Earth Sword Dao!"

"Hisss—"

A light appeared as if separating Heaven and Earth, and in an instant, it was already upon Zhou Yan.

But Zhou Yan did not defend because this Tai Chu Sword Intent, though vast and ancient, though strong and invincible, was no longer a concern for him.

"Pfft—"

Zhou Yan even disabled the defense of his Soul Armor, allowing the Tai Chu Sword Intent to strike him.

"Clang clang clang—"

Sparks flew. The Sword Intent, like striking the hardest Geng Metal Meteorite Iron, failed to even pierce Zhou Yan’s skin!

"What?!"

"How is this possible?!"

"This... what kind of Constitution is this? Even the Emperor Qi Sword Body couldn’t be this strong!"

"Is this the Full Perfection of the Thunderflame Sword Body’s Thunder Body Refinement?"

...

That instant, many Cultivators who were casually watching the fight became agitated.

Varied in stance, even those Cultivators who had been leaning, lounging, or sitting cross-legged on Flying Swords suddenly stood up, staring at Zhou Yan with intense emotion.

"Is this... the grasp of the ’Void Nine Battle Line’ Secret?"

Some Cultivators exclaimed in shock.

"No, it’s not as superficial as the ’Void Nine Battle Line.’ It must be mastery of ’Xuan Restriction,’ Combat Power Beyond Seven!"

"What... Mastery of Xuan Restriction?!"

"Frightening, this kid... it’s a sure thing he’ll enter the top three thousand!"

"Another dark horse has emerged, but revealing himself too early means there will be more dangers during the trials."

"Exposure is inevitable anyway, it doesn’t really matter. True geniuses are not afraid of those tests!"

...

A series of discussions buzzed around.

In that moment, by merely withstanding a single move, Zhou Yan made the battle all the more captivating.

"What? You actually resisted directly?! Very well, I will let you know just how formidable the Tai Chu Secret Sword Intent of ’Tao Creates All Things, All Things Birth Dao’ truly is!"

Xiao Tianlun’s pupils shrank as his face suddenly turned gravely serious and terrifyingly fierce!

The surrounding whispers, as if mocking him, left him flushed with embarrassment.

"Regardless of your myriad Sword Intents, in the face of my absolute Strength, all are as vulnerable as dogs and chickens made of clay!"

Zhou Yan’s voice was cold and stern.
