Lord Came Back From The Battlefield

“On one hand, I am giving you an opportunity,” the old man responded.

“On the other hand, I will give you the method to pass through the Star Domain Chasm. Whether you go or not is up to you.”

“Really?” Everyone’s eyes lit up.

“Yes,” the old man nodded.

As they talked, they arrived in front of a three-story tower.

“This tower has an array set up by your two Ancestors. Inside, they left their martial arts mindsets for you to comprehend,” the old man explained, pointing at the tower.

“There are three floors in total. The higher you go, the stronger the mindset, but the pressure you must endure also increases. Proceed according to your capability.”

“Martial arts mindset?” Ian Blade was slightly taken aback. “Is it like the blade spirit that can help us improve our cultivation?”

“In theory, yes,” the old man nodded. “But how much you can comprehend depends on your own understanding.”

“Understood,” everyone nodded.

“You may enter now. In ten days, I will take you to another place,” the old man continued.

“Thank you, senior!” Everyone bowed in respect.

“If you want to thank someone, thank your Ancestors,” the old man smiled and then turned to leave.

“White Feather, these Spirit Fruits are for you. Wait for us outside,” Billy said, taking out a bunch of high-grade Spirit Fruits from his storage ring.

White Feather chirped and nodded.

Then, Billy led everyone into the tower.

As soon as they entered the first-floor hall, everyone from Azure Dragon gasped.

The pressure inside was incredibly strong. Even though they were all at mid-stage Perceiving Dao Realm, they felt as if they could hardly move.

At the same time, just like when they sensed the blade spirit at Canyon View Institute Sword Hill, waves of martial arts mindset surrounded them.

“Azure Dragon, Azure Fang, you stay on the first floor,” Billy instructed. “The rest of you follow me to the second floor.”

“Alright,” everyone from Azure Dragon nodded and found a place to sit cross-legged.

On the second floor, Billy and his group could clearly feel that the pressure was much stronger than on the first floor. Azure Dragon members wouldn’t be able to stay here for long even if they came up.

“Opal, you and Casey stay on the second floor. Harleen and I will check out the third floor,” Billy continued.

“Okay,” Opal and the others responded in unison.

Soon, Billy and Harleen reached the third floor.

“The pressure here is intense!” Harleen shivered involuntarily.

Even with her bloodline enhancement, the pressure was overwhelming. Anyone below Heaven Dao Realm would likely explode if they stayed here too long.

“Harleen, can you hold on?” Billy asked.

“I can try!” Harleen nodded.

“If it gets too much, don’t force it,” Billy advised.

“Understood,” Harleen nodded slightly.

They each found a place to sit cross-legged and began to focus on comprehending the strong martial arts mindset.

Miraculously, shortly after sitting down, Billy felt a sudden clarity, and his martial arts mindset became purer.

“Interesting,” Billy muttered to himself.

“Billy, this martial arts mindset is really strong. Can I come out and comprehend it too?” Purple Spirit’s voice echoed in Billy’s mind.

“This martial arts mindset is useful to you?” Billy was slightly surprised.

“Of course!” Purple Spirit responded.

“Then come out!” Billy said.

“Yay!” Purple Spirit exclaimed and then emerged, finding a place to sit down as well.

Time flew by quickly. Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

In this environment filled with strong martial arts mindsets, anyone with decent martial arts talent would gain significant insights.

Moreover, Billy and his companions had exceptional martial arts talent. So, unsurprisingly, after ten days, everyone’s cultivation had improved significantly.

The Azure Dragon members, although they only stayed on the first floor, advanced two levels due to their relatively lower starting point.

Azure Dragon and Azure Fang reached eighth-rank Wu Dao Realm. Felicia, Vermilion Bird, and White Tiger advanced to seventh-rank. Night Orchid and Frostblade reached sixth-rank Perceiving Dao Realm.

Casey, Stout, and Amber stepped into ninth-rank Perceiving Dao Realm. Ivy, Opal, and Aubree completed their tribulations and broke through to Heaven Dao Realm in this environment.

Billy and Harleen also advanced one level each, both stepping into second-rank Heaven Dao Realm.

Purple Spirit also benefited from these Perceiving Dao Realm mindsets, gaining strength over the ten days.

“You all are truly martial arts prodigies!”

On the afternoon of the tenth day, the phantom elder returned to the tower. After roughly assessing everyone’s cultivation, his eyes lit up with surprise.

“Senior flatters us!” Harleen bowed in response. “Thank you, senior!”

“No need for thanks. I am just a guide,” the old man smiled. “Come with me; I’ll take you to another place.”

He led them out of the tower and flew towards the right side.

After about ten minutes, they landed on a grassy field in front of a hundred-meter-high stone cliff.

The cliff appeared to have been split by a blade or sword; its surface was smooth as a mirror.

At the top of the cliff were large characters carved in a flamboyant style: “Realm of Swords and Blades.”

Below these characters were no words but several deep cuts made by blades or swords, each several meters deep and clearly made in one stroke.

“Realm of Swords and Blades? What does it mean?” Ian Blade asked as he looked at the cliff.

“This was left by your two Ancestors. I can’t say exactly what it’s for; you’ll have to figure it out yourselves,” the old man explained.

“In your Ancestors’ words, if you can comprehend something from these blade marks, it will benefit you for life.”

Just a stone cliff with some blade marks-what could be comprehended from that?

“Don’t underestimate these blade marks. Try to feel them with your heart,” the old man suggested, noticing their skepticism.

“I’ll give it a try,” Ian Blade said, clearing his mind and focusing on the cliff.

“Hmm?!” He soon let out a gasp of astonishment.

“Ian Blade, what is it?” Bob asked.

“I can’t explain it; try it yourself,” Ian Blade replied.

Following his lead, everyone including Billy focused their minds on the cliff.

Like Ian Blade’s reaction, after a few minutes, everyone showed expressions of shock.

They were astonished because when they focused on those blade marks, they felt as if they were in a realm filled with endless blade energy.

Blade energy filled the entire space with a pervasive sense of killing intent crisscrossing everywhere as if the whole space was constructed from blade energy.

In this realm, everyone felt as insignificant as ants and couldn’t help but feel a sense of despair.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

In such an environment, they didn’t even have the courage to fight back.

“Focus on comprehending here; I’ll return in three days.”

The old man’s voice echoed in their ears before he turned and left.
