His sword touchstones?
Exchanging a look, Yang Jing and Ji Hai instantly launched an attack. They sandwiched Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen did not exert his extraordinary physical movement again. Holding both swords, he confronted them. The battle was turning white-hot.
What people had been worrying about did not occur. They wondered what the constellation palace in Jiang Chen’s body was like. They could not understand why it had not been exhausted yet. After all, it required a great consumption of energy to achieve the first-class attack and defense Jiang Chen had showed. The onlookers were certainly happy to see him so brave in the battle.
However, facing two people’s attack, it was still too hard for Jiang Chen, even though he had two Doctrine Swords. When everyone thought Jiang Chen had been stuck in the battle, he entered a state beyond description. For him, this fight was not about winning or losing. Neither was it about life or death. What he needed was an answer, an answer that had been waiting for him ever since he had raised his swords.
Under his swords, Yang Jing’s emotionless blade and Ji Hai’s fierce iron fists were bringing him countless inspirations. His two rivals found as the battle went on, Jiang Chen was more and more concentrated. He had no fear. Neither was he distracted by anything. These kind of people were the most scary. Regardless of race, only those who never thought about life or death were the really brave ones.
In the Sword Pavilion, Lu Ping was sweating a lot. He was soaked to the skin. The comprehension before the Sword Painting was more difficult than he had thought. It was because of the Immortal Doctrine of Sword.
Sword doctrines had different levels. For average sword doctrines, it was easy to comprehend and master their sword spirits, but, certainly, they would be less profound.
There were Four Great Doctrines of Sword in the Sacred Zone, which average people could not comprehend. Talent was a high wall that hard work and diligence could not destroy. Without talent, no matter how diligent you were, it just would not work.
Wu Ming appeared suddenly not far away from the Sword Painting. He was looking at his apprentice, comprehending seriously. “He is too eager.”
Jiang Chen was the best youngster he had ever seen, not only because of his talent, but also because of his restless desire to advance.
“Whether the Immortal Doctrine of Sword can become the fifth greatest sword doctrine will depend on you,” he murmured.
Jiang Chen would have been absolutely surprised if he had heard this remark, because he had never told anyone the name of his sword doctrine. In fact, it was Wu Ming who had imparted the Immortal Doctrine of Sword to Jiang Qingyu. For some reason, he left the sword doctrine in some relics and then led Jiang Qingyu there. Jiang Qingyu did not disappoint him. His Immortal Doctrine of Sword achieved transcendency, and he found the true meaning of it. However, it took him ten-odd years, from Jiang Chen’s birth until Jiang Chen had grown into a teenager. Even so, Wu Ming did not think Jiang Qingyu had made slow progress.
The Immortal Doctrine of Sword was very special. It would take the practitioner forever to comprehend it if he could not gain an insight into it. As a result, Wu Ming was worried about Jiang Chen. He wondered whether the latter could comprehend it at such a crucial moment.
“Eh?”
At this moment, Wu Ming found the Sword Painting had moved. He was pleasantly surprised. That meant Jiang Chen would succeed soon!
The Sword Painting was actually a yin-yang painting. It was a circle formed by the black and white yin-yang symbol, but without the two dots that the Taiji symbol had. When it turned, the symbol itself did not turn. Instead, the yin symbol and the yang symbol just kept switching positions.
Lu Ping, sitting in front of it, was shining. Sword radiances flew out of there one after another, illuminating the yard where the Sword Painting was kept.
Wu Ming acted in time to cover the energy so that his apprentice’s secret would not be disclosed.
“I got it. I finally got it!”
“The Immortal Doctrine of Sword is not only the source of force. It’s everything. It can make any sword spirit last forever.”
“It’s not the sword that I’ve been trying to comprehend. It’s myself.” Jiang Chen finally realized why he could always feel the power of the Immortal Doctrine of Sword, but he could not say what was powerful about it. He had vaguely known the concept of eternity. However, this day, he tumbled to the reason.
Most sword doctrines in the world were very monotonous. The meaning of their sword spirits was very clear. That was why they could not become a famous sword doctrine.
However, no matter how profound a sword doctrine was, it had its own sword spirit, including the Four Great Doctrines of Sword. But the Immortal Doctrine of Sword was different. Its sword spirit contained everything. It was limitless and without boundaries. For that reason, average people could not comprehend it.
The leap from sword to person sounded very simple, but it was like a piece of paper that had not been pierced—as long as you could not touch it, you would not be able to pierce it.
“I saw it when I was alive.”
Wu Ming felt very emotional. Although it was only a small step for Jiang Chen, he was so young that the future must belong to him. At the same time, he was curious what that little bit of sword spirit Jiang Chen had mastered was about. Due to the specialty of the Immortal Doctrine of Sword, he had no way to know. Suddenly, he found all of the sword radiances had gone back into Jiang Chen’s chest!
“Idealism!”
Lu Ping got to his feet slowly, very excited. Such excitement should not have appeared on this face. Fortunately, he was the only person in the Sword Pavilion, so no one could see him. Then Lu Ping returned to the mountain without doing anything.
In the air, Jiang Chen changed after finding the answer. His concentrated face became frenetic.
Yang Jing and Ji Hai intuited it was not a good sign, so they exerted their most powerful movements.
“Poking All Living Creatures!”
Yang Jing exerted his best sword movement. It had the power to kill gods or destroy Buddhas.
“Samsara Divine Fist!”
Ji Hai did the same. With the boundary of Wizard blood completely activated, he was wearing the complete Wizard Lord body like wearing an iron armor. His punches reached every corner of the battlefield.
However, Jiang Chen took their attacks with his two swords. The Invincible Golden Body was laughing at the two silently.
“Darn it!” Ji Hai shouted loudly. He had never seen a person with such a strong defense.
Attack and defense both consume lots of energy. He is only a four-star strongman. This should have been beyond his limit. Unless he is working on three qi simultaneously. It’s quite possible! Yang Jing thought while taking his sword back.
“The divine body is really great.” The onlookers down there also exclaimed.
“But it’s still impossible for him to kill Yang Jing and Ji Hai.”
“I agree. Their defense isn’t as great as Jiang Chen’s, but they are not heavily injured yet. It’s because Jiang Chen’s attack isn’t strong enough.”
“Holy Thunder and Alien Flame are strong, but, unfortunately, one of his rivals is a Wizard warrior, who almost can’t be defeated by a person in a lower state, and the other is Yang Jing, ranked in the top three of the Human List.”
That his rivals were too strong was one of the reasons.
“Jiang Chen, we’ll stay here and keep fighting with you today. No matter what you have, you, a four-star, will definitely lose.”
“That’s right!” Ji Hai also said.
“Yeah?”
Jiang Chen, after resisting their fierce attacks, smiled mysteriously. He put his swords down. The status of the Invincible Golden Body was also gone. His temperament had made a big change. He changed from a brave warrior to an elegant swordsman.
“This time I won’t defend. Let’s see what you can do!”
Then the Idealistic Sword Doctrine worked wonderfully in this body. The energies of his two swords were soaring.
“Transcendent, transcendent sword doctrine force?!”
Yang Jing was petrified. It was beyond his imagination that Jiang Chen had realized a breakthrough at such a crucial moment.
