Chapter 293 – Sudden Progress
Cold and hidden spring arrived, and with the first wisp of light wind with a slight warmth, another year passed by quietly.
As spring passes into autumn, the leaves wither and yellow, and sixteen whole months have passed since Yun Che’s “fall”.
Even the brightest light will gradually fade with the passage of time. Although Yun Che’s light was only fleeting, the influence left behind was long-lasting, and although it was no longer as enthusiastic as it had been at the beginning, the name “Yun Che” still resounded from time to time in all corners of the Cangfeng Empire. And for those young people who don’t have the background of a clan, and who have beautiful fantasies. And for those young Xuan Masters who did not have the background of a clan, but also had beautiful fantasies, he had even become an existence like a spiritual belief.
Heavenly Sword Villa.
At four o’clock in the morning, when the sky was slightly bright, a young man dressed in a lightweight sword suit stepped into the dim light and walked onto the imperial sword platform, and when his footsteps touched the first piece of masonry on the platform, a longsword releasing a demonic light descended from the sky, landed on his hand, and danced freely along with his arm.
Ling Jie was now a seventeen year old teenager, his face was a little less childish and a little more resolute, and his eyes had become as stern as a sword. His Xuan Li had already reached the ninth level of the Spirit Xuan Realm, and was only one step away from the peak of the Spirit Xuan Realm, and his Sword Intent Sword Heart was also becoming more and more divine.
The Tian Yuanyuan Sword swirled circles of chaotic flowing light in his hands, and as he danced between his hands, the air currents around him were disorganized on a wide scale, and the flying trajectories of the flying swords in the sky above the Royal Sword Platform all showed significant changes. His talent was recognized to be stronger than Ling Yun, at the same time, he was more hardworking than Ling Yun, after the qualifying battle, he never left the Heavenly Sword Villa again, every day started with sword practice and ended with sword practice, in terms of strength, he was approaching Ling Yun step by step.
In comparison, Ling Yun had been trapped by his heart demons for some time now, and had made very little progress.
A large portion of his heart’s demon was from Xia Qingyue, and a small portion was from Yun Che.
Amidst the sword qi whistling, the sky of the Imperial Sword Stage was also getting brighter and brighter, and finally, the first ray of daylight shot down from the east, and the Heavenly Ducks Sword also transformed into a scorching stream of light that broke through the air at this time, rolling up a ten-odd feet wide vacuum amongst the swarms of flying swords, and then flew down swiftly, falling into his scabbard.
“Whew!”
Ling Jie let out a long breath and sat down with his butt on the ground, he wiped the beads of sweat from his head and looked at the Xing Tian Sword that towered straight up into the clouds, he was dumbfounded, after a long time, he let out a long breath of turbid air and naturally said to himself, “Boss, you don’t have a clan but you can become so powerful, you must have put in efforts that others can’t imagine. I heard that before the qualifying battle, you were even in the most dangerous Death Wasteland and stayed for a whole half a year …… Alas, after the qualifying battle, I originally thought of sneaking out to look for you, even if you were being chased by the Burning Sky Sect, I could still escape with you, that experience must have been very wonderful, thrilling, and exciting, and it could also allow me to really grow up. Unexpectedly, I just recognized you as the boss, but I don t even have the opportunity to experience with you …… Hoo! The heavens are just too unfair.”
Ling Jie turned his head in the direction of the Cang Feng Imperial City in the west and whispered, “I don’t know how Princess Sister is doing now ……”
Cangfeng Imperial City, Range Moon Palace.
“Your Highness, the Burning Sky Sect’s side sent a message over that the Burning Jade City’s Young Sect Master has set a wedding date with Your Highness, seven days from now at 8:03 am, the Burning Jade City’s Young Sect Master will come to the Moon Ranging Palace to welcome the Princess, and the Third Prince has already asked people to start making preparations.”
Cang Yue stood quietly by the lotus pond in the courtyard, a pair of beautiful eyes staring straight at the lotus petals in the midst of fading. Beside her, a palace maid was reporting respectfully.
After the palace maid finished speaking, Cang Yue’s expression was calm, she nodded and faintly said: ”I know, you go down …… and so on! The matter of the wedding date being set, does my father Emperor know about it?”
“Back to the princess, the emperor has not woken up by this hour, so he does not know yet.”
“Don’t disturb father emperor, let him have a good rest, tell him when he wakes up.” Cang Yue said softly.
“Yes, slave girl will retire.”
As the palace maid retired, a loud and bright laugh came, “Hahahaha! Imperial sister, what a congratulations.”
Cang Yue turned around and looked at Third Prince Cang Shuo, who was walking in a diffident manner, with a smile on her face, “You seem to be happier than I am about my marriage to Burning Jiecheng.”
“That’s natural.” Cang Shuo smiled and said, “Jiecheng is a well-deserved dragon among men, within the Cangfeng country, there are few people who can compare with him, while imperial sister is heavenly in appearance and a thousand gold, the two of you can be said to be a perfect match made in heaven. Jie Cheng and I are close friends, and you are my only royal sister, I am naturally delighted by the union of the two of you, hahahaha.”
Cang Yue’s lips curled lightly as she smiled, “Since you’re so happy, then all the various wedding matters on my side will just be left to my royal brother, I’m sure he’ll be willing to do so.”
After returning from the Heavenly Sword Villa, Cang Yue’s character had undergone a huge change, a change that could be clearly felt by those around her. Yun Che’s fall didn’t seem to have dealt her much of a blow, after she returned to the palace, she spent most of her time accompanying Cang Wanchu, and acted as if she had changed into a different person, no longer backing down, evading, and compromising, but also becoming incomparably tougher and more decisive, and with the name of Cang Wanchu, she had rigidly stabilized a vast majority of the neutral forces amidst the royal family’s smoke that was being stirred up by Cang Lin and Cang Zuo, although she was powerless to stop the fights between Cang Lin and Cang Shuo and the Xiao Sect’s and Burning Sky Sect’s ambitions, but to a large extent, she had prevented the expansion of the royal smoke cloud, which was already an extremely remarkable result.
This year or so of running around had also caused Cang Yue’s character to become more and more hardened, and within her eyes, she had even begun to fill with a cold aura that made people’s hearts palpitate.
“Of course there is no problem!” Cang Shuo agreed in one gulp, Cang Yue marrying Burning Jiecheng would be beneficial to him, he had waited for this day for far too long.
“Since that’s the case, then everything will be a favor to your Imperial Brother …… In addition, also please ask your Imperial Brother to remind Burning Jiecheng a few more times, come to the Imperial Palace to welcome the bride that day, the bride price brought must have ‘Burning Soul Flower’ amongst the bride price, if you can’t see the Burning Soul Flower, don’t think I’ll go with him back to the Burning Sky Sect.” Cang Yue’s slender eyebrows stared up, and she said resolutely.
“This is something that imperial sister can completely rest assured, with Jie Cheng’s piece of mind towards imperial sister, not to mention a mere soul burning flower, even if he wants the stars of the sky, he will not hesitate to pick them for imperial sister.” Cang Shuo said smilingly, it looked like he was in quite a good mood today.
“I hope everything is as you said, I’m going to go see Father, if you’re interested in this Moon Rover Palace, make yourself at home.”
After Cang Yue finished speaking, she directly stopped paying attention to Cang Shuo and walked straight out.
Stepping out of the Moon Ranging Palace, Cang Yue’s footsteps slowed down, she looked up at the sky, her hand covered her chest, all of the sharpness in her eyes that she had held up strongly all faded away, and became disoriented like mist, softly, she said to herself, “Master Yun, I’m sorry for letting you alone for so long …… wait for me for a few days more, okay? …… Seven more days, I can go and accompany you ……”
Under the Heavenly Sword Villa’s Royal Sword Stage, a fierce sparring match was nearing its end.
Boom! Bang! Ding! When! Puffing ……
The sounds of collisions, booms, and slices …… were deafening in this enclosed space.
Yun Che’s heavy sword was wide open, every sword round down, would roll up an amazing storm of Xuan Power, while the green Xuan Gang was ever-changing and overwhelming, and the intensity of the attack was in no way inferior to Yun Che’s heavy sword, and after thousands of collisions, Yun Che was already wounded all over his body, but the more he fought, the more he grew more and more courageous, as if he was being inspired by the ferociousness of the wild beasts in general.
Yun Canghai had been watching Yun Che’s battle with Xuan Gang, constantly nodding his head, his eyes filled with marvel.
In the sixteen months that he had been here, Yun Che’s Xuan Force cultivation could be said to have advanced by leaps and bounds.
Today, his Xuan power level had reached the sixth level of the Earth Xuan Realm!
Back then, it took Ling Yun two years to break through from the first level of the Earth Xuan Realm to the third level of the Earth Xuan Realm. And this speed was already unsurpassed among his peers, except for Xia Qingyue.
And Yun Che had gone from Earthly Xuan Realm level one to Earthly Xuan Realm level six in less than a year!
If this was known by Ling Yun, he would probably be able to kill himself on the spot in shame.
In terms of cultivation speed, Yun Che was fully ten times more than Ling Yun!
Of course, the most fundamental reason for this was still derived from the blood and flesh of the Yan Dragon. For the Cangfeng Empire’s Xuan Masters, even for the highest level of Xuan Masters, the dragon meat of the King Xuan’s Dragon was a treasure of heaven and earth level existence, and getting a small piece of it was a thousand times more difficult, but when it came to Yun Che’s place, it was eaten alive as a meal!
And one meal was more than a year.
What Yun Che had improved during this period of time was not only his Xuan Power, but from the time he had seen Yun Canghai’s Xuan Gang, Yun Che had spent at least six hours a day battling against the Xuan Gang, and his actual combat ability had also improved rapidly during this almost crazy battle.
Yun Che had lived two lives and was naturally rich in combat experience, but no matter how rich he was, he couldn’t possibly compare to Yun Canghai, who had lived for hundreds of years. In terms of strength, Yun Canghai might not be Jasmine’s rival, but in terms of seniority, Jasmine was far from Yun Canghai, and some of the guidance that he had given to Yun Che had benefited him immensely.
When Yun Che fought against Xuan Gang, initially, Yun Canghai was able to easily defeat Yun Che even after suppressing Xuan Gang’s power to a single point. However, in less than a month’s time, Yun Che was already enough to stalemate with the one-point power of the Xuan Gang, so he raised the power of the Xuan Gang from one point to two points, then to three points …… four points …… five points… …And now, what Yun Che was facing was a Xuan Gang that he had retained 60% of its strength!
of his Xuan Gang!
Sixty percent of his Xuan Gang’s strength was strong enough to rival the late stage of the Heavenly Xuan Realm!
Now, yet again, Yun Che had fought to a draw, and had failed to crush him in thousands of entire shots.
“Drink!!!”
With a loud shout, Yun Che rose up into the air, transforming into four identical figures in the air……. That’s right! It was four, and his Star God Shattering Shadow, in the course of battling against each other again and again, and in the course of countless executions, had successfully broken through to the third realm where he could conjure up three shadows!
The residual shadows created by the Star God Shattering Shadow, not to mention human perception and gaze, even Xuan Gang could not distinguish between reality and reality, and there was a momentary lag in his actions. Taking advantage of this tiny crack, Yun Che’s eyes narrowed, and the third realm of the Evil God Technique, “Purgatory”, was forcibly opened.
Two scarlet rays of light blinded Yun Che’s eyes, and the aura of Xuan Li on his body also instantly became incomparably furious……. In the qualifying battle, forcing open the Purgatory of Hell, even though it was only for a brief moment, it made him lose half of his life, and he was unconscious for a few days, and with the state he is in nowadays, forcing open the Purgatory of Hell naturally does not result in that kind of consequence, but it is still extremely hard to bear, but only for a few short moments. unpleasant, but if it was only a few short breaths, he could still barely hold on.
“Celestial Wolf Slash!”
The Cang Wolf roared, the terrifying power completely enveloped Xuan Gang, blocking all of its moving bearings, a huge wolf shadow ran out from above the Dragon Que, ruthlessly crashing on top of Xuan Gang, completely deforming it with the impact……. After Xuan Gang supported for a short period of one breath of time, it drifted away like a falling leaf swept up by a hurricane, and then transformed into a green light back into Yun Canghai’s arm.
Bam!!!
The Dragon Que fell to the ground, and Yun Che’s entire body fell on his back, gasping for air and sweating like a river, the long and fierce battle had caused him to use up almost all of his strength, and coupled with the huge load from the opening of the “Purgatory”, he basically only had the strength to breathe, and he didn’t even want to move a single little finger.
“This little monster, his future achievements are simply unimaginable!” Yun Canghai whispered to himself, the Xuan Gang that he had retained 60% of his strength had actually been defeated by him so quickly as well!
At first, when Yun Che said that he would definitely kill him within two years, at that time he still felt ridiculous, but now it seems that …… his words were not exaggerated at all!
