1. Progress in the Way of the Sword
Lin Ye’s cultivation at the Sword Immortal Pavilion had entered a new stage. Every day, he devoted a large amount of time and energy to his swordsmanship, constantly seeking breakthroughs. Under Xue Yao’s guidance, he mastered the most exquisite sword techniques of the Sword Immortal Pavilion. Not only that, but he also began to gradually fuse his demonic power and Dragon Soul power into these sword techniques.
With each movement and technique, Lin Ye could feel his swordsmanship steadily improving. His sword intent grew purer, and the combination of his demonic power and swordsmanship became more natural. The power of his sword techniques gradually surpassed their previous limits. He realized that his swordsmanship had begun to evolve toward a higher level, gradually transcending the realm of pure power and skill, and was beginning to touch upon the essence of the Way of the Sword.
"The Way of the Sword is not just about the sword; it is about the heart," Lin Ye had an epiphany during his cultivation. He realized that the true profound meaning of the Way of the Sword was not found merely in the blade, but in the understanding and breakthrough of one’s state of mind.
2. Insight into the Laws
As his swordsmanship advanced, Lin Ye’s insights also underwent a transformation. What had originally been cultivation focused on power and technique gradually extended into a deeper understanding of the laws. He could feel the aura of heaven and earth, as if all things in existence followed certain patterns and all powers were governed by laws. Swordsmanship, demonic power, bloodlines, and even the changes in space and time were no longer just a contest of power, but a dynamic interplay of laws in motion.
Lin Ye gradually understood that in order to reach the true peak of cultivation, he must master the power of these laws. The myriad phenomena of the world, the alternation of life and destruction, were all constrained by invisible laws, and this was the mark of a true powerhouse. To break through to a new realm was not only a transformation of the body and soul, but also an integration with the laws of the universe.
"Laws are where true power lies," Lin Ye’s heart stirred with understanding. He resolved to begin a deep study of the application of these laws and to seek an opportunity to break through.
3. The Barrier of Realms
However, as his cultivation deepened, Lin Ye gradually realized that the bottleneck of the Yuan Dan realm was becoming more and more apparent. Beyond this realm, each breakthrough became exceptionally difficult. Although his Reverse Scales Bloodline and Dragon Soul power allowed him to continually strengthen himself, each step forward was accompanied by immense resistance.
He closed his eyes, feeling the power steadily accumulating within his body, but there was still an insurmountable barrier in his heart. He knew that his cultivation had reached a bottleneck, and to break through, he would need to find the right opportunity or gain a deeper understanding of the laws.
"It’s time to search for an opportunity to break through," Lin Ye muttered to himself, his heart filled with a deep yearning and expectation for the unknown.
He realized that while the Sword Immortal Pavilion had abundant resources, reaching a higher realm would likely require external opportunities and help. Whether it was seeking out hidden realms or participating in events where opportunities arose, Lin Ye decided to temporarily leave the Sword Immortal Pavilion and look for a path that was better suited to his breakthrough.
[Chapter End]
Lin Ye knew that the path to breakthrough was filled with uncertainty and challenges, but there was no fear in his heart. Only by overcoming this bottleneck could he move further and accomplish his future grand goals. Could the Sword Immortal Pavilion provide him with the breakthrough he needed, or would he have to go farther to find the opportunity meant for him? This time, Lin Ye was ready to take a new step and move toward a broader world.
