"The speed at which you're comprehending and cultivating the third Sword Cave seems to be a bit faster than the previous two.
I think it might be because you have already mastered two complete Sword Ways, and your level of sword dao has improved greatly, so your speed of comprehending and practicing sword techniques has also increased." Hun Lao said to Ye Yunfei.
"That should be the reason." Ye Yunfei nodded.
"Next, I need to comprehend my third complete Sword Way." Ye Yunfei did not leave this Sword Cave. Instead, he continued sitting cross-legged in the center of the cave, starting to meticulously sort out all the sword dao inheritances he had cultivated within this Sword Cave, seeking fusion.
"I've finally comprehended the third complete Sword Way!" After some contemplation, Ye Yunfei finally grasped his third complete Sword Way.
"This Sword Way focuses on sharp solidity. Hard and sharp, for breaching fortifications, cracking armor, and splitting formations, unstoppable in its acuity. It uses an overwhelmingly domineering sword intent to forcibly tear through all of an enemy's defenses." Ye Yunfei said slowly. A refined, forceful, and sharp sword intent instantly erupted from his body, like a golden dragon raising its head. It instantly broke through the Sword Cave, soaring into the sky and transforming into a golden sword light that circled back and forth above the Sword Realm Continent, emitting a metallic clangorous sound that shook the entire void.
"Hahaha... Ye Yunfei has cultivated another Sword Way!" Sword Elder watched the soaring golden sword light and couldn't help but laugh heartily, feeling immensely gratified.
"Truly heaven-sent. Our Tianjian Sect has produced such a sword dao genius!" At this moment, numerous high-level members of other sword dao sects also saw the golden sword radiance piercing the clouds, and they all exclaimed in admiration. Because the leaders of these sword dao sects all knew that it must be Ye Yunfei cultivating a new Sword Way. Among the inheritors currently within Tianjian Sect, only Ye Yunfei possessed such high sword-training talent and such rapid progress.
"It must be that little bastard Ye Yunfei. He's cultivated a new Sword Way again. I've heard Tianjian Sect has twenty-eight Sword Caves, and a complete Sword Way can be cultivated within each one. It seems that little bastard Ye Yunfei has successfully cultivated a complete Sword Way within one of those caves." In the void far from the Sword Realm Continent, within the headquarters of the Divine Sword Sect, Zhou Duantian looked at the golden sword light above the Sword Realm Continent, his face extremely ugly. Mo Chenzi stood beside him and spoke.
"We must kill that kid. We cannot give him any chance to continue growing." A gaunt old man wearing loose robes, with a head that somewhat resembled a bird's beak, slowly spoke. This elder was a Divination Master cultivated by Zhou Duantian and now essentially served as his strategist. Many of Zhou Duantian's decisions would have him perform divinations.
"Find an opportunity to kill that kid once the battle commences," Zhou Duantian said.
"Sect Master, rest assured. Once the Blade Realm's army arrives and the battle truly begins, I will definitely find an opportunity to kill that little bastard," Mo Chenzi nodded in agreement.
Back within Tianjian Sect headquarters, after Ye Yunfei cultivated a complete Sword Way, he spent more time contemplating this newly-cultivated Sword Way before finally leaving that Sword Cave. The moment Ye Yunfei walked out of the Sword Cave, his face revealed a shocked expression. Because at this moment, Ye Yunfei felt as if he had received a very faint Sound Transmission. This transmission was intermittent, faint and elusive; even with Ye Yunfei's level of soul power energy, he could only capture some extremely weak soul power fluctuations. But Ye Yunfei could sense that this faint Sound Transmission came from deep within the earth's heart.
"Could it be..." Ye Yunfei thought of a possibility, then with a flash of his figure, he plunged into the subterranean world. Moments later, he arrived at a bewildering space deep within the continent's heart. Ahead was a thick barrier layer, constantly radiating rolling divine radiance. There used to be a group of Chaos Gods here constantly attacking this barrier, but now it was deserted. Because after Ye Yunfei gained control of the Realm-Stabilizing Dragon Vein Formation, all the Chaos Gods who had been staying here had quickly left. They knew if they continued to stay, they would suffer attacks from the Realm-Stabilizing Dragon Vein Formation.
Ye Yunfei came before the barrier and immediately released his soul power energy and mental energy. Simultaneously, he utilized the divine pupil between his eyebrows to observe and study the barrier layer ahead.
"Moreover, the grade of this barrier is too high. I can't even understand it!" The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm immediately emerged from the Phantom Tower to study the barrier before him. Because the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm tribe was innately proficient in various restrictions and barriers. Seeing this massive barrier before him, Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm immediately developed a strong interest.
"The methods of the expert who laid down this barrier are truly masterful," Hun Lao, looking at the barrier before him, also continuously praised.
"Young man..." Right at this moment, Ye Yunfei suddenly received another faint Sound Transmission, but it was somewhat clearer than before.
"Senior, who are you?" Ye Yunfei, both shocked and delighted, immediately asked.
"I have vanished from the world for a very long time, but in the past, everyone called me the Heavenly Net Sword God," that Sound Transmission rang out within Ye Yunfei's Soul Sea, and it became even clearer.
"The Heavenly Net Sword God!" Ye Yunfei had guessed earlier, but now hearing the words 'Heavenly Net Sword God', he still felt extremely shocked.
"So it's really the Heavenly Net Sword God sending me a Sound Transmission," Ye Yunfei found it somewhat hard to believe. However, that transmission was clearly coming from inside the barrier; it should undoubtedly be the Heavenly Net Sword God.
"So it's Senior Heavenly Net Sword God! Descendant of the Sword Realm Continent, Ye Yunfei, pays his respects to Senior!" Ye Yunfei hurriedly said.
"Very good. Young man, for our Sword Realm Continent to have an inheritor like you means the destiny of the Sword Realm Continent still remains. I have watched all your actions during this period." That transmission sounded again in Ye Yunfei's Soul Sea, growing increasingly distinct.
"Now I will teach you how to better use that Earth Formation to channel the energy of the Sword Realm Continent over here to reinforce the barrier I have laid down. This barrier has been weakened considerably. If not reinforced, I'm afraid it won't hold for long. Fortunately, there is now an opportunity to fortify it again." That voice again rang in Ye Yunfei's Soul Sea, and then a burst of soul power information was transmitted across space.
Ye Yunfei hurriedly read it and found it was indeed a method on how to use the Realm-Stabilizing Dragon Vein Formation to reinforce this barrier. These methods had similarities to those taught by Shoudi Laoren but were even more ingenious and practical.
Overjoyed, Ye Yunfei immediately followed these methods and used the Realm-Stabilizing Dragon Vein Formation to continue gathering the entire Sword Realm Continent's energy before this barrier, helping to fortify it. Sure enough, not long after, Ye Yunfei clearly perceived that the barrier before him seemed to have become sturdier.
"Our Sword Realm Continent is fortunate to have you as its inheritor. From now on, the destiny of our Sword Realm Continent will return." That voice rang within Ye Yunfei's Soul Sea, becoming clearer and clearer.
"Young man, your sword dao talent is quite good, and your sword dao cultivation has reached a certain level, but it is still far from enough. The burden on your shoulders is heavy; in the future, you must shoulder the responsibility of reviving the Sword Realm Continent. Therefore, you must continue to improve your sword dao level," that voice said to Ye Yunfei.
"Senior, rest assured. I will definitely strive hard in my cultivation and strive to continuously elevate my sword dao level," Ye Yunfei hurriedly replied.
"Senior, our Sword Realm Continent currently faces a great crisis. The Blade Realm's army is about to arrive, and the current Sect Master of the Divine Sword Sect, Zhou Duantian, has brought the entire Divine Sword Sect to betray the Sword Realm Continent. Apart from the Divine Sword Sect, almost all the sword dao sects of our Sword Realm Continent were destroyed in an ancient battle. Now, only some remnant souls remain, along with young inheritors who only returned not long ago. With the Blade Realm and the Divine Sword Sect joining forces, I don't know if our Sword Realm Continent can withstand it." Thinking of the crisis currently facing the Sword Realm Continent, Ye Yunfei quickly spoke. The Heavenly Net Sword God was, after all, the founder of the Sword Realm Continent and the strongest sword cultivator in the Primordial Era's Chaotic Void Sea. Perhaps he might have some good methods to cope.
"Young man, don't worry. I have watched everything that has happened in the Sword Realm Continent during this period. That old fellow Dao Mo kept pestering me endlessly back then. Who would have thought that after I sealed him here, he still found ways to notify his descendants to come and trouble the Sword Realm Continent. In that battle long ago, he took advantage of my seclusion cultivation to summon his descendants. Collaborating with the traitors of our Sword Realm, they destroyed numerous sword dao sects on the Sword Realm Continent. Moreover, they laid down a large-scale Earth Formation specifically to suppress the barrier I had laid down, indirectly suppressing me as well. So, over the years, I have always been very passive. Fortunately, not long ago, you used that Earth Formation to, instead, reinforce the barrier I laid down, which eased my burden somewhat. Next, it's time for our Sword Realm to counterattack. Don't worry; just relying on Dao Mo's descendants and the traitors of our Sword Realm, wanting to destroy the Sword Realm Continent isn't that easy. Let them come. Soon they will know the power of our Sword Realm." The Heavenly Net Sword God's Sound Transmission rang in Ye Yunfei's Soul Sea.
"Wonderful!" Hearing Heavenly Net Sword God's words, Ye Yunfei couldn't help but feel extremely excited. He knew that someone of Heavenly Net Sword God's status and stature would not speak carelessly. Since he had uttered such words, it represented that Heavenly Net Sword God had means to cope.
"The Sword Realm Continent was, after all, a world I created, concealing the sword dao will I left behind. When the time comes, I will guide you to draw out the sword dao will I left within the Sword Realm Continent. When necessary, I can even transmit some of my sword dao energy to you. I believe it can handle strong enemies. During this period, you continue to help me reinforce this barrier using that Earth Formation. As long as this barrier becomes increasingly sturdy, I can form a powerful suppression on that old fellow Dao Mo." The Heavenly Net Sword God continued his Sound Transmission to Ye Yunfei.
"Senior, rest assured. I will definitely follow your instructions," Ye Yunfei said excitedly upon hearing Heavenly Net Sword God's transmission.
