X-Dragon Era

Relying on the sharpness of the Sword of Slaughter Immortal and the continuous assaults, even the amethyst-grade shield couldn't withstand such impact, shattering on the spot. Enjoy more content from My Virtual Library Empire

Next was Liu Xu wielding the Sword of Executing Immortal. The timing and positioning she selected were just too perfect. At the moment the Sword of Slaughter Immortal withdrew, she accurately sliced at the wound it had made, dragging the blade over it a dozen times and directly beheaded the Giant Dragon.

When it comes to slicing, sharpness is actually secondary. Everyone knows that what blades fear is not chopping, but dragging. A chop to the flesh would result in average effects, but add a drag, and it's completely different – gut-wrenching!

In the past, street performers would climb the ladder of knives and walk through a forest of blades barefoot, unharmed as they stepped on the blades, but they would never dare to drag their feet. A slip that dragged the blade would immediately slice through the flesh.

First, there were dozens of assaults using the sharpness of the Sword of Slaughter Immortal to break the shield and scales; then, with the sharpness of the Sword of Executing Immortal, they continued to drag and slice from that wound, beheading the Giant Dragon's head, turning the impossible into possibility. This was enough to make the two proud for a long time.

As time went by, several months later, Xin Yun finally returned to Mountain Sea City. Within a year, both Xin Yun and Yi Luo Xiang had advanced to the two-star Gold realm again. Although they hadn't seen Yan Qingying yet, they thought that this girl couldn't possibly be far behind, at the very least she would keep up with them, or even surpass them!

Up to this point, Xin Yun and Yi Luo Xiang had just turned seventeen, while Yan Qingying was nineteen, and Ming Xuan was twenty-one. They had all stepped into, or were about to step into, young adulthood.

All along, Xin Yun and the others had been working hard, but in terms of cultivation speed, they couldn't stand out from the crowd and were buried by a plethora of talents.

A few years ago, Po Kong was only sixteen when he challenged Lan Se, but his strength had already reached a three-star Gold rank. However, Xin Yun and the others were different; at seventeen, they had just reached the two-star Gold rank. That's the difference. You should know... Being three-star Gold at sixteen is just average. The faster ones have even reached five or six stars Gold.

The reason for such a disparity is not due to talent, aptitude, or potential; the main reason is that people don't yet understand the harm of using Dragon Crystals. They excessively use Dragon Crystals to enhance their strength, which, though Yi Luo Xiang, Yan Qingying, and Ming Xuan each have extraordinary talent, aptitude, and potential, means their cultivation speed is slower than ordinary people due to not using Dragon Crystals.

However, the result of using Dragon Crystals extensively is an unstable foundation and a jumble of energies. It's not noticeable now, but at higher stages, it becomes difficult to control, easy to unleash but hard to retract. The harm of this is tremendous and terrifying.

One could say that the four of them are now cultivating at a pace below the average level. But if they were to actually fight, the reality would be entirely different. Whether it's the purity of their energy or their control over it, they are far stronger. Combat... isn't about who has more force or who is faster.

All along the way, Xin Yun always kept the Axe Soul of the Sky-Opening Axe within the Qiankun Seal, inching closer and exploring the essence of heaven and earth within the seal. Though still unclear, his progress has been rapid, having made numerous discoveries.

The greatest function of the Qiankun Seal, upon exploration, is actually one of the three seals formed after the creation of heaven and earth. The three seals are the Heaven Seal, Earth Seal, and Human Seal.

The so-called Heaven Seal will become the future Sky-Overturning Seal, possessing only spirit and no form yet, likely in the hands of the primordial celestial sovereign. Only after refining the top half of Mount Buzhou will it take shape, becoming an acquired treasure!

As for the Human Seal, it will be the Imperial Seal grasped by the emperors of the Human Race in the future. Currently, it also has a spirit but no form, yet to take shape, and even constantly transforming, passing through the hands of various emperors.

The last is the Earth Seal, also the Kongtong Seal, the only one among the three seals that has both spirit and form, and is an Innate Spiritual Treasure!

Each of the three great seals has its function. The Heaven Seal should ideally be in the hands of the Celestial Emperor, responsible for managing all immortals. The seal's stamp becomes an imperial edict, functioning similarly to the human emperor's mandate.

The Human Seal should be in the hands of the emperor, and once stamped, it is an edict – who dares to disrespect under all heavens?

Last is the Earth Seal, the Kongtong Seal, which doesn't refer to the earth but to the Underworld! It should be in the hands of the Underworld Emperor, commanding countless ghosts, to which none dare defy.

In fact, the three seals are not meant for attack or defense; the rules contained within are essentially authority! With the seals, one can control the rights of the three realms: the Heavenly Realm, Human Realm, and Underworld; governing immortals, humans, and ghosts, respectively.

The Kongtong Seal is known as the Fountain of Youth because of the rules it embodies. As the ultimate law governing life and death, it naturally grants everlasting youth and immortality. Its function is somewhat similar to the Investiture of the Gods, granting eternal life to anyone enshrined within.

Besides the physical body, a person is composed of three parts: spirit, soul, and mind – the True Spirit, soul, and consciousness. When these three unite and fuse into the body, that becomes a person.
