Free Web NovelChapter 1893: Chapter 1660: Rise
Breaking through point by point.
The sword skill created by Xialing Saint during the World General period encompasses all the emotions, including the subtle grievances and affections of a maiden. Its execution is ghostly and ever-changing, achieving the intent of Great Perfection.
Lin Mo’s ’Melancholy Mist Rain Sword’ is filled mostly with sadness and longing. This arose when the old Demon Clan witch attacked him, preventing Xia Mengdie from recognizing him and watching coldly from the side. This gave rise to great sorrow in his heart, allowing him to comprehend the ’Melancholy Mist Rain Sword.’
The Melancholy Mist Rain Sword is about great sadness and suffering. Lin Mo broke through Xialing Saint’s sword skill by using immense sorrow and suffering to overcome joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.
If the Xialing Saint herself were to execute this sword skill, she could reach its peak state of perfection, and Lin Mo’s method of breaking through it would not work at all.
Comprehend Xialing Saint’s sword skill!
Break through Xialing Saint’s sword skill!
It’s too shocking; there are very few at this level of prodigy within the Star Sky Alliance.
"I, Sword Mad, consider myself deeply obsessed with Sword Dao, and I have a profound understanding of it. I didn’t expect someone to surpass me," Sword Mad World Emperor sighed and praised.
Lin Mo furrowed his sword-like eyebrows. Breaking Xialing Venerable’s sword skill had elements of trickery. To genuinely break the opponent’s sword skill, his realm comprehension was insufficient. He needed to create even more perfect, more powerful sword skills.
In the Stone Forest, hundreds of Star Sky Alliance members at the World General level, including some at the World Marquis Level, watched him with secret awe and admiration, and someone was already secretly inquiring about his background.
"Alright, young man, you can’t become fat in one mouthful; cultivation is gradual and grows through hardship. If you wish to improve your strength, you can temper yourself on the Star Domain Battlefield. However, the Star Domain Battlefield is extremely brutal, a scenario not too far from life and death," Sword Mad World Emperor interpreted Lin Mo’s dissatisfaction and spoke up.
"Star Domain Battlefield?" Lin Mo looked at the World Emperor and nodded slightly.
He had actually been considering entering the Star Domain Battlefield. Recently, his cultivation, whether in law comprehension or realm improvement, had been slow. Especially regarding the realm; even though he referenced Buddhist and Taoist scripts from Earth, words are superficial. As the ancients said, reading ten thousand books and traveling ten thousand miles - no matter how much you read or understand the logic, without personal experience, comprehension is difficult.
"Thank you, Lord Realm Emperor, for your guidance. I will definitely go to the Star Domain Battlefield," Lin Mo cupped his hands in thanks.
"Good boy, you really dare to go. I’ll head back to ponder your words. I want to comprehend my own ’mad’ character Sword Dao. I’ll look for you when I have time." Sword Mad World Emperor smiled, blurred his figure, and disappeared.
Lin Mo left the Stone Forest, but his name spread like wildfire throughout the Boundary General Area.
In the World Marquis District, within a mansion.
Three middle-aged men and two middle-aged women sat on stone chairs, chatting.
"Marquis Xuan Yang, your Mystic Realm Sect has made quite the splash this time. Firstly, there’s a Lord Tao defeating two World Generals, with extraordinary genius in law comprehension. Now you have a Rider Captain, Lin Mo, who comprehended Xialing Saint’s sword skill and reportedly broke it as well," a middle-aged man in a green robe with a fair face said with a smile.
Marquis Xuan Yang replied, "Lord Tao is indeed strong in law comprehension, and I believe it won’t be long before he enters the World Marquis Level. As for Lin Mo, his Heart Realm is strong. Without his own Heart Realm and sticking to his path, it would be difficult to go far."
These people are all World Marquises and friends of Marquis Xuan Yang, who gather at his mansion when they have the time.
"Oh, Marquis Xuan Yang, you seem to have high hopes for Lin Mo?" A beautiful lady covered her mouth, saying, "The Heart Realm is so elusive without a clear boundary. However, the three Saints all say that the Heart Realm is the most important measure of the height one will achieve in cultivation."
"How far they can go depends on them. Many geniuses have emerged from the Star Sky Alliance, and many have fallen as well. Ultimately, it depends on themselves," Marquis Xuan Yang said with a smile, lifting a teacup.
...
The Endless Planet, like fireflies in a summer valley, shimmered with a faint glow.
An Immortal Palace floated in the dark universe, shimmering with a colorful glow as large as a planet, standing tall in the dark starry sky.
This palace, filled with colorful glow and Immortal Energy.
A plain-clothed woman levitated in mid-air, with a carved-framed copper mirror before her. In the mirror was the scene of Lin Mo breaking Xialing Saint’s sword skill in the Stone Forest.
"A self-created sword skill, so heavily flavored with great sadness and suffering - I wonder which woman broke his heart, leading him to create this sword skill," the plain-clothed woman smiled, waving her long sleeve, causing the image in the copper mirror to disappear.
At this moment, the void beside her twisted, and two ethereal figures appeared within the palace.
"Fairy Xia Ling, what’s this? Have you also seen that boy’s performance? You, as the brightest of the genius girls during the World General period, couldn’t have imagined someone defeating you, right?" A white-haired old man in a white robe appeared, smiling as he stroked his beard.
This plain-dressed woman had an ethereal temperament, delightful and elegant, with a light laugh, "Jiuqu, did you come specifically to mock me?"
"I wouldn’t dare to mock Fairy Xia Ling. I just heard this boy broke your sword skill from the World General period and wanted to see your reaction," Nine Curves Saint said.
At the same time, an old man in a dark red robe appeared beside them, saying, "The Alliance Hierarch has high hopes for this boy. He has extraordinary qualities. His cultivation realm is at the Star Domain Level, but his strength can compare to Advanced World General warriors. Otherwise, he couldn’t have copied Fairy Xia Ling’s Sword Intent, and there would be no way to break it."
"Blood Palace, are you here to see a joke as well?" The plain-dressed woman glanced over the two and said, "His talent is indeed good, but he only captured one-third of my Sword Intent when he copied it. If I had used my sword skill as it was during the World General period, he couldn’t have withstood it unless he could create an even more advanced sword skill."
Nine Curves Saint and Xue Gong Saint nodded. Even though they are both Saints now, their strength and vision have reached new heights, and such a sword skill, created at the World General scope, does not capture their attention significantly.
At that time, breaking Fairy Xia Ling’s sword skill was incredibly difficult.
It was rumored Fairy Xia Ling named this sword skill "Dongzhi" after creating it. It embodied her emotions during her youthful love, filled with joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness. Eventually heartbroken, the skill became deadly and fierce.
"If he can create a more advanced sword skill, maybe I can spar with him personally," Fairy Xia Ling smiled.
Nine Curves Saint and Xue Gong Saint were slightly astonished. Fairy Xia Ling’s desire to spar with him indicated that she appreciated his performance.
After the Stone Forest incident, Lin Mo’s name quietly rose within the Boundary General Area.
