Chapter 1056 Integration and Mastery

The spectators were already mesmerized and deeply moved.

Both Jing Yu and Jian Yunyuan's combat power at this moment has far exceeded the scope of the Cave Heaven Realm. Although they have not yet reached the Mahayana Realm, Mahayana cultivators only have the advantage of a mature and perfect [Internal Cave Heaven] and a thick and resilient mana and true essence compared to these two.

When it comes to the comprehension of various laws and the subtlety of using supernatural sword techniques, Jing Yu and Jian Yunyuan are already no less than Mahayana cultivators.

The two exchanged hundreds of moves, and Jian Yunyuan became increasingly alarmed and also increasingly excited as the fight progressed.

At this moment, the Sword Court prodigy's hair had long since come loose, his long hair was flowing freely, and he was brandishing his long sword with an indescribable air of elegance and freedom.

The eight natal swords trembled and resonated in unison, and even the sound of the swords turned into a series of sword sounds that attacked Jing Yu!

Seeing Jian Yunyuan's momentum rising steadily, Jing Yu also changed her usual calm and indifferent demeanor, and even used a whistling sound to resist the sword sound.

His previous opponents in sparring were either too weak or too strong (such as Lu Yingzhao), and he had never fought against an evenly matched opponent like Jian Yunyuan. Now, in his battle against Jian Yunyuan, under the intense pressure, he gradually realized what he had learned before.

Whether it was his insights into various laws, the magical techniques and supernatural abilities he had originally cultivated and created, or even Daoist inheritances like the [Ten Thousand Beasts Diagram], Jing Yu gradually integrated them all into one during the battle.

Jian Yunyuan thought to himself, "What's going on? My eight natal swords are working together and resonating with each other, their auras gradually becoming one, and they will only get stronger over time. But why is the Xuanjing Daoist in front of me also endlessly increasing his combat power? It seems that he is getting stronger even faster?"

But then, Jing Yu, caught up in the moment, suddenly formed a sword with his fingers, and with a "whoosh" sound, invisible sword energy emerged from his fingertips, piercing towards Jian Yunyuan.

At this moment, Jing Yu used the signature supernatural power of his eldest disciple, Guan Lingxiao—

Rootless, formless, and shapeless sword energy!

laugh--

Before the sword energy even arrived, Jian Yunyuan felt a sharp, needle-like pain between his brows, as his spiritual senses had detected the threat beforehand.

Jian Yunyuan neither dodged nor evaded, but raised his sword and thrust straight forward. The tip of the iron sword collided with the formless sword energy, producing a piercing explosion. It took Jian Yunyuan a lot of true essence to dissipate this sword energy.

"What powerful sword energy!"

Jian Yunyuan was deeply shocked: "Rootless and without origin, formless and without substance... This is definitely not a divine power that an ordinary sword cultivator could create! This Xuanjing Daoist is not only proficient in all kinds of laws, but also has such amazing attainments in the way of the sword!"

He recalled Jing Yu's earlier words: "When it comes to insights into the [Laws of the Sword], I am no match for you, fellow Daoist."

"Not even close enough to match his skill?" Jian Yunyuan shook his head with a wry smile. "Fellow Daoist Xuanjing, you are being far too modest! Judging by the power of this sword energy alone, your understanding of the [Law of the Sword] and the subtlety of its application are probably already on par with ordinary disciples of my Sword Court."

Unbeknownst to him, a glittering golden life bead was already embedded in Jing Yu's Xuanxuan Destiny Plate—

[Sword Qi Soars to the Sky!]

With the blessing of this immortal-grade destiny, even if it's only half the effect, Jing Yu's sword talent can be said to have crushed all the geniuses present except for Jian Yunyuan.

This doesn't mean that just because he equipped [Sword Qi Soaring to the Sky], his understanding of [Sword Laws] will catch up with Jian Yunyuan's.

His understanding of the [Laws of the Sword] was still lagging behind that of the Sword Court prodigy in front of him.

However, the original gap has narrowed.

The narrowing gap meant that Jian Yunyuan now understood the mystery and intent behind many sword moves that Jing Yu had previously failed to comprehend.

At the same time, Jing Yu could barely detect some subtle flaws in Jian Yunyuan's sword control and hand seals.

As a pure sword cultivator, Jian Yunyuan's greatest reliance was his own swordsmanship. However, at this moment, his greatest reliance was being overtaken by Jing Yu, who was now able to catch up with him.

Furthermore, with the dual blessing of [Sword Qi Soaring to the Sky] and [Exquisite Mind], Jing Yu's comprehension of the sword path was frighteningly high. Facing Jian Yunyuan, who was a free [sparring partner], Jing Yu felt that his understanding of the sword path was rising every minute and every second.

"Add fuel to the fire!"

At this moment, sword energy and blood energy intertwined around Jing Yu. He pointed a finger at his brow and his divine sense spread out.

The next moment, a hazy, dreamlike scene of light and shadow unfolded slowly like a scroll painting, or floated in the air like a mirage.

It was an indescribable realm, where the scenery constantly shifted, sometimes resembling magnificent palaces and celestial birds and mythical beasts; at other times, it transformed into a dark, deep, eerie, and terrifying nightmare.

More often than not, it is a hazy, chaotic void, with only countless tiny points of light and flowing lines intertwining and changing, as if reflecting the ocean of subconsciousness and the veins of thought of all living beings.

It was Jing Yu who constructed the unique realm—the Realm of Divine Dreams—with his own boundless divine sense and the [Divine Dream Law] as its core!

This realm seems to exist between reality and illusion, overlapping with the halls of reality, yet standing independently of reality.

A strange fluctuation, barely perceptible to the naked eye and extremely difficult to detect even with divine sense, spread silently like the gentlest murmur or an all-pervasive mist, seeping into Jian Yunyuan like a gentle rain.

Just as Jian Yunyuan was about to unleash his sword power once more, pushing the resonance of the eight swords to a new peak, his mind suddenly trembled slightly for no apparent reason.

An irresistible, deep sleepiness crept into my heart like a tide.

This was not physical exhaustion, but rather a weariness and relaxation deep within his soul, as if countless gentle hands were softly caressing his consciousness, soothing his fighting spirit, and enticing him to lay down his sword and fall into a carefree slumber.

The sharp figure of Jing Yu before my eyes seemed to blur for a moment, and the rousing resonance of the eight swords in my ears also seemed to become distant and ethereal.

The exquisite sword move he delivered, which was originally perfectly executed and intended to seal off all of Jing Yu's escape routes, suddenly showed an extremely subtle, almost imperceptible deviation.

The sword tip was pointing half an inch off from what was expected, the force of the wrist movement was slightly sluggish, and the continuity of the sword intent flowed with an almost negligible break.

For a swordsman of Jian Yunyuan's level, this "half an inch," "a thread," and "a break" are fatal flaws in a life-or-death struggle!

"Huh?!" Jian Yunyuan was startled. His powerful Dao heart and unwavering will instantly dispelled most of the sudden drowsiness.

"Divine Sense Technique? No... this is... the power of laws?!"

A chill ran through him: "It's the [Divine Dream Law]!"

As expected of a disciple of the Sword Court, Jian Yunyuan immediately realized what kind of law was affecting him.
