Chu Yang was momentarily bewildered; what was happening?
While he was astonished, the colorful mist in the passage grew denser, eventually reaching a point where he could not see his own fingers even if he stretched out his hand.
He tried breathing in deeply, and instantly felt a wave of refreshing energy coursing through him!
The Wind Thunder Heavenly Heart moved back and forth within his body, finally separating to either side!
The Wind Jade occupied the left side of Chu Yang’s body, while the Thunder Jade took the right side! Both sides were on high alert!
At the moment the two jades stopped, the endless colorful mist in the passage suddenly surged into Chu Yang’s body with a whoosh!
It came forth like a mighty river, rolling in!
Chu Yang felt an overwhelming joy: this colorful mist could actually strengthen his true essence! Moreover, the effect was incredibly evident!
As he walked slowly, he absorbed the colorful mist.
Wherever he passed, the colorful mist dissipated into nothingness! Only ahead of him remained thick and dense.
Chu Yang was puzzled as to why there hadn’t been such a miraculous phenomenon when he passed through before?
“This is the true benefit of the Nine Calamity Sword Master!” The Sword Spirit’s voice sounded as if it had just awakened from a deep slumber, drifting over.
“Do you think obtaining the fifth segment of the Nine Calamity Sword was just to give you a three-month vacation to visit lovers and brothers?”
“You’re awake?” Chu Yang exclaimed joyfully.
“I’ve returned; how could I not be awake?” The Sword Spirit smiled.
At this moment, Chu Yang faintly heard a tremendous thunderous sound from above and couldn’t help but feel stirred, asking, “Heaven and earth phenomenon?”
The Sword Spirit replied, “Indeed. Each segment of the Nine Calamity Sword will be accompanied by a different heaven and earth phenomenon; these phenomena bring about marvelous things as benefits to the Nine Calamity Sword Master. And this time, it is the power of wind and thunder that has summoned the colorful rainbow from beyond the sky, enhancing the foundation and strength of the Nine Calamity Sword Master!”
“Now I understand!” Chu Yang reflected for a moment. “Since there’s such a commotion, there must be quite a few people outside… It seems I can’t go back the way I came.”
“To get out, there is only this one path!” the Sword Spirit stated.
“Now I see.”
Chu Yang pondered for a moment and then relaxed his mind: “I’ll gather all my benefits first, as for how to get out… there’s no need to think about it now!”
The Sword Spirit was astonished as he saw Chu Imperial Seat exerting all his energy into the Nine Heavens Divine Skill, as if devouring the sea; the colorful mist surged around Chu Yang with a ‘whoosh’ sound.
It poured into Chu Yang’s meridians like a raging torrent.
The speed of Chu Yang’s cultivation technique increased rapidly, giving him time to converse with the Sword Spirit: “Sword Spirit, this technique is quite strange; at the beginning, it was slow, requiring at least the time of two incense sticks to circulate one cycle; but now, I can circulate two cycles in a single breath!”
The Sword Spirit pondered for a moment before saying, “I’m not familiar with this technique, but… if someday you can circulate ten thousand cycles in a single breath, you should be close to it.”
“Go die!” Chu Yang was annoyed. “Ten thousand cycles in a single breath? My body would explode! What kind of meridian can withstand such speed?”
“As far as I know, Lord Sovereign can circulate six thousand cycles of divine skills in a single breath! A single full-power palm strike can destroy the entire Nine Heavens world!” the Sword Spirit slowly replied.
Chu Yang fell silent.
After a long while, he finally spoke in a low voice: “So it is… really, there is no… end!”
One breath, six thousand cycles!
Chu Yang was greatly stimulated by this statement and began to exert himself fully.
