Inverse Sword Mad God
Chapter 623 - 623 621 The Road Ahead

623: Chapter 621: The Road Ahead 623: Chapter 621: The Road Ahead Cultivation, that is the lifeblood of a Martial Artist, and it’s the guarantee of everything.

Having strength is to have identity and status; if one’s cultivation and strength are lost, then everything ceases to exist!

And now, Heimu Shan has been crippled, all of his cultivation and strength are gone.

From this point forward, he is nothing but a useless person.

Heimu Shan screamed in madness, he simply could not accept this fact; he knew the consequences of becoming a cripple.

The result would not place him much above a dog.

“Lin Xuan, it must be Lin Xuan’s doing!” Heimu Shan shouted wildly, “I will kill you!”

The members of the Heimu family were also filled with murderous intent; their Disciple had been crippled, and right in front of them.

This was a slap in their faces!

In an instant, countless gazes fixed on Lin Xuan.

“Damn kid!”

The people of the Heimu family were furious, although they knew it was Lin Xuan who had acted, they had no evidence.

Moreover, Lin Xuan had just gained the favor of the City Lord; acting against him now, the City Lord probably would not agree.

Unless they could produce irrefutable evidence proving it was Lin Xuan who used the Poison Hand.

However, after a few elders carefully examined Heimu Shan’s body, they found nothing out of the ordinary.

This result made them feel even worse.

Thus, the members of the Heimu family could only grit their teeth and swallow their pride.

The surrounding Martial Artists were shocked; to see the people of Heimu Fortress take a loss in the dark, Lin Xuan was too cunning!

Such a person was best left unprovoked.

“Let’s go!”

A few elders of the Heimu family glared at Lin Xuan fiercely before quickly leading their people away.

“Let’s go as well,” Lin Xuan shrugged and quickly left with Nangong Sheng.

Heimu Shan had received his deserved punishment; there was no need for Lin Xuan to stay any longer.

In the days that followed, Lin Xuan led a secluded life, preparing for the Alliance Martial Competition.

He was determined to obtain the Divine Dream Bone, so in this competition, he had to achieve an excellent ranking, even if it meant revealing some of his trump cards.

Returning from the City Lord Mansion, Lin Xuan consolidated his Cultivation.

Now, his Cultivation had reached the Late Stage of Spirit Communication Realm, with just one step further he would be at the Peak.

However, this step was not easy; at least for now, Lin Xuan could not break through.

But he was not in a hurry; he had just broken through to the Late Stage and needed to consolidate it well.

Moreover, his strength was not based solely on his Cultivation, so a temporary inability to break through did not affect anything.

In terms of Sword Intent, it was still at the Great Achievement Realm; however, according to his guess, there should be a Perfect Realm above that.

As for beyond Perfection, one would need the Cultivation of a Venerable to practice it.

That is to say, in the Spirit Communication Realm, the strongest Sword Intent was Perfection.

However, Lin Xuan had also asked the Dark Red Divine Dragon and learned that Martial Artists of the Venerable Realm no longer cultivated Mental Realm but Martial Soul!

In other words, above the Mental Realm was the Martial Soul!

For example, above Sword Intent was the Sword Soul, a force far stronger than Sword Intent.

Moreover, according to the Dark Red Divine Dragon, this Martial Soul was extremely important and could be said to determine whether a Martial Artist could enter the Venerable Realm.

After listening, Lin Xuan was astonished; Extreme Martial Artists at the limit of the Spirit Communication Realm could only advance to the Venerable Realm by forming a Martial Soul Embryo.

That is to say, the Martial Soul was an essential condition for entering the Venerable Realm!

“Sword Soul…” Lin Xuan pondered; his Sword Intent was only at Great Success, still a considerable distance from the Sword Soul.

However, inside his body, there existed the Great Dragon Sword Soul, an even more formidable entity.

“Is the Great Dragon Sword Soul considered a Sword Soul?” Lin Xuan wondered.

“Kid, you’ve merely fused with the Great Dragon Sword Soul, but you haven’t transformed it into your own power,” the Dark Red Divine Dragon sneered.

“Right now, you can only call upon a fraction of its power, not even one ten-thousandth of the Great Dragon Sword Soul’s strength!”

Lin Xuan rubbed his head, knowing that the Dark Red Divine Dragon spoke the truth.

To fully activate the Great Dragon Sword Soul required an extremely profound Cultivation, a requirement that even surpassed that of a Venerable!

With Lin Xuan’s current Cultivation, he was nowhere near close enough.

“Isn’t there any other way?” Lin Xuan frowned.

“There is one way,” the Dark Red Divine Dragon’s eyes rolled.

“What way?” Lin Xuan asked urgently.

Refine the Great Dragon Sword Soul into your Sword Soul!

Hearing this, Lin Xuan gave it a scornful glance, as if it had said nothing at all.

“Damn, boy!

What’s with that look?” The Dark Red Divine Dragon was annoyed.

“Do you have a way?” Lin Xuan asked, puzzled.

“Of course!

Who do you think I am?” the Dark Red Divine Dragon said proudly, “When I roamed the World, your ancestors weren’t even born!”

“What’s the method?

Spill it!” Lin Xuan’s eyes shone.

“Heh heh,” the Dark Red Divine Dragon chuckled mischievously, “If you wanna know, beg me.”

“Not telling?” Lin Xuan grabbed the Snow White Monkey, “Careful, or I’ll let Little White loose!”

Upon hearing this, the Dark Red Divine Dragon drooped its head, clearly afraid of Little White’s tiny paws and the dizzying effect they had.

“Fine, I’ll be generous and tell you for free!”

“Disperse the power of the Great Dragon Sword Soul, leave behind the Origin, and then refine your Original Martial Soul with it, and you’ll fully possess the Great Dragon Sword Soul.”

“Disperse the power?” Lin Xuan was astonished.

“The Dragon Sword is an Attack Saint Technique and in Ancient Times it was the strongest Holy Artifact for attack.

Even though now only the Dragon Sword Soul remains, the power it contains is still incredibly intimidating.”

“If obtained by a true Great Power, a single strike could cleave the entire Heavenly Martial Continent!”

“A single strike that splits the continent?” Lin Xuan’s eyelids twitched.

He couldn’t imagine how formidable the Martial Artists of Ancient Times were, and he was even more curious about how such a powerful Dragon Sword could have broken.

Of course, this wasn’t something he needed to consider now.

Though the power contained within the Dragon Sword Soul was terrifying, Lin Xuan was utterly incapable of using it; it’d be better to disperse it.

This would allow him to refine the Dragon Sword Soul and make it his Original Martial Soul.

“How can I disperse its power?” Lin Xuan asked.

“It looks like you’ve made up your mind,” the Dark Red Divine Dragon said.

“I’ll teach you a Disperse Skill, so you can disperse the power within the Dragon Sword Soul.”

As it spoke, a trace of excitement appeared in the expression of the Dark Red Divine Dragon.

Lin Xuan frowned, eyeing the Dark Red Divine Dragon warily, and then received the Cultivation Technique it transmitted.

After studying it thoroughly, Lin Xuan found no flaws.

Though he didn’t trust the Dark Red Divine Dragon, Lin Xuan couldn’t think of a better solution.

So, after contemplating for a while, he decided to give it a try.

Following the instructions of the technique, Lin Xuan began to activate it.

As expected, the energy within the Dragon Sword Soul began to fluctuate uneasily.

Streams of energy overflowed, extending outside of Lin Xuan’s body, forming a tidal wave of substantive Spiritual Power, quite spectacular.

The Dark Red Divine Dragon swung its Dragon Claw, setting up an Array around the courtyard to prevent the leakage of Spiritual Energy.

Then, feeling the Spiritual Energy in the air, it burst into excited laughter.

“Such strong Spiritual Energy!

After absorbing this energy, I will surely return to my Peak state!”

“By then, this whole World will be mine!”
