Chapter 479 - 479: Breakthrough (1)
Southern City.
Three days had passed since the city pass was taken down.
During these three days, the Southern Mountain’s City had gone from noisy to dead silent.
The Immortal City, which used to be very lively, became extremely depressed because of the war between the Qian Yuan Sword Sect and the Xuan Qing Dao League.
The shops on both sides of the Immortal City’s streets were either destroyed or their doors were tightly shut. There was no sign of life.
These shops were all opened by cultivators under the Xuan Qing Dao Alliance. Now that the immortal city had been broken, although these cultivators did not die, they could not avoid having their entire wealth confiscated.
Some beautiful female cultivators would be captured by the Southern Army soldiers on the spot as trophies.
In this cruel cultivation world, the moral standards of cultivators were not as high as the civilized society in his previous life, and there was no such thing as not killing civilians.
Once their side was defeated, the best outcome for both the army and ordinary cultivators would be to become prisoners.
Most of the cultivators did not even have the chance to become captives and were directly killed on the spot.
Just like when the Southern Mountain’s City fell, the Cangzhou cultivators ended up the same way. Most of them were massacred, and only a small number became captives.
Such a small scene was nothing in the four hundred years of war in the Yun Nation.
In the cultivation room of the Immortal Palace.
Chen Daoxuan sat cross-legged on the praying mat. Everything that happened in Zhennan Immortal City seemed to have nothing to do with him.
At this moment, he was paying full attention to the changes in his dantian.
To be more precise, it was the change in the Stellar Sword Dao Diagram in his Dantian.
On the Stellar Sword Doctrine, there were two stars, one big and one small. They were the two stars formed after Chen Daoxuan’s Space Law and the Sword Intent of Rain appeared.
But now, the stars formed by the Rain Sword Essence were beating violently.
This kind of jump wasn’t because the sword intent of the Rain of Threads was about to advance to the Law of the Rain of Threads, but rather, it was a different kind of transformation.
If someone who was proficient in the water element sword intent saw this scene, they would realize that Chen Daoxuan’s rain sword intent was transforming into the water element sword intent.
It was a branch of the water element sword intent.
There was a limit to the potential of the Rain of Threads sword-intent. At most, it could only reach the sixth level of the Great Dao.
If he wanted to continue advancing, he had to convert the Silk Rain Sword Essence into the Water Element Sword Essence.
However, it was not a simple matter to transform a branch sword essence into a complete water element sword essence.
Back then, Chen Daoxuan’s path had gone astray. Now, if he wanted to forcefully reverse it, the price he had to pay would definitely be much more difficult than those who had never stepped on the path of the sword.
Fortunately, the most important thing in comprehending sword essence was comprehension.
And what Chen Daoxuan did not lack the most was comprehension.
In his sea of consciousness, the comprehension star that was like a giant celestial body slowly rotated. As the comprehension star rotated, traces of dust-like matter slowly separated from the comprehension star and disappeared.
As the stars of comprehension were consumed, Chen Daoxuan’s comprehension also skyrocketed.
Chen Daoxuan discovered that ever since the Primordial Enlightenment Scripture broke through to the third level, not only did it have the ability to develop Dao, but its Dao comprehension ability had also undergone another transformation.
At the second level of the Primordial Dao Enlightenment Scripture, there was an additional “Dao imparting” function. The Dao enlightenment function had transformed from the original ten times comprehension to thirty times comprehension. There was a huge improvement.
On the third level of the Primordial Enlightenment Scripture, Chen Daoxuan’s enlightenment ability was no longer limited to how many times his comprehension ability was. He discovered that his comprehension ability could actually be adjusted and controlled at will.
In theory, one could have as many times of comprehension as one wanted. There was no upper limit.
However, as his comprehension ability increased, the consumption of comprehension stars would also increase rapidly.
Chen Daoxuan had tried it before. Once he used more than a hundred times the power of comprehension, this star of comprehension with a diameter of hundreds of miles would be consumed at a terrifying speed.
He estimated that in three days at most, this planet of comprehension, which had absorbed a large amount of Primal Chaos Qi from the Source World of True Immortals, would be completely exhausted.
And if he used less than 100 times the power of comprehension, the rate at which he consumed his comprehension stars would suddenly decrease. There wouldn’t be much change at all.
Right now.
When Chen Daoxuan used his comprehension ability to double, it reached exactly 101 times. This was because he discovered that when his comprehension ability broke through 100 times, he seemed to have entered an indescribable special state.
The barriers that were difficult to comprehend and understand in the past instantly became simple and easy to understand under the support of more than a hundred times comprehension.
Just like his Rain Sword Intent.
As a branch sword intent of the water element sword intent, once a cultivator stepped into the Rain Sword Intent, the price he had to pay to step into the water element sword intent was much higher.
According to the records of the Qianyuan Sword Sect, if one wanted to change from the branch sword essences such as the Silk Rain Sword Essence and the Extreme Cold Sword Essence to the path of the Water Element Sword Essence, one needed to comprehend several more branch sword essences and comprehend them to an extremely profound realm.
Then, he could fuse these sword essences into one and comprehend the water element sword essence.
Just hearing about this method made one’s scalp go numb.
Chen Daoxuan had also planned to use this method to reverse his Rain of Threads sword intent. However, after his comprehension exceeded 100 times, he realized that it was actually not so troublesome.
He was able to detect traces of water-element sword intent of the same level through the Rain Sword Intent at the Precept-Domain level.
For other cultivators, this was like a fantasy, but for Chen Daoxuan, who had a hundred times comprehension, it was as easy as pinching his fingers.
On the Stellar Sword Dao Diagram, the stars formed by the Sword Essence of the Rain started to move violently. The light blue stars of the Rain Sword Essence finally turned into a clear blue color..
