Chapter 1585: Chapter 1585: Don’t Miss the Perfect Moment to Do What Needs to Be Done
"I can’t heal his injuries alone. When a friend comes back, I’ll personally go to Divine Elder Peak to find you," said Mu Hanyan.
"Then I must trouble you. We’ll take our leave now," Ao Fangchen knew Mu Hanyan was not one to speak empty words and did not linger. He expressed his gratitude and left with Han Yutang.
Mu Hanyan and the others returned to the courtyard, knowing that they would soon head to Beiyuan Fog Origin. Zhuang Ping’an and the others rallied their spirits and returned early to their rooms for cultivation.
"Alright, I’ll go cultivate too and won’t disturb you two. Go back to your rooms yourself and seize the time to do what needs doing," Yue Fanchen said, giving a meaningful wink.
"What can we do?" Mu Hanyan felt uncomfortable with his words and replied with a hint of annoyance.
"There are plenty of things to do. When you go to Beiyuan Fog Origin, life and death are uncertain. Don’t miss the beautiful scenery. Alas, time is a bit tight, otherwise, Mother would hope to have a grandchild, and I would have liked to raise my status as uncle-grandfather. What a pity, what a pity," Yue Fanchen shook his head, looking regretful.
"Get lost!" Though Mu Hanyan knew it was disrespectful to an elder, she couldn’t hold back and spat heavily, blushing. How was this an elder’s demeanor!
Ye Lanfeng, on the other hand, turned to look at Mu Hanyan, smiling meaningfully.
"Why are you smiling? Is there a flower on my face? I won’t talk to you. I’m going to cultivate," Mu Hanyan felt more embarrassed by his gaze, glared at him, and turned to walk to her room.
"Wait," Ye Lanfeng suddenly called out to Mu Hanyan.
"What’s the matter?" Mu Hanyan asked.
"Your strength is already at the Great Sword Master Peak. If there’s an opportunity, you might promote to the Sword Saint Realm anytime. However, I think it’s best to consolidate your cultivation first, practice your sword techniques, understand the Sword Dao, and postpone the promotion for now," Ye Lanfeng said with a serious expression.
"Why?" Seeing him speak so gravely, Mu Hanyan lost her previous embarrassment and asked in confusion.
"Because after promoting to Sword Saint, it’s incredibly difficult to comprehend Heaven and Earth Rules on the Divine Continent," Ye Lanfeng said.
"Oh?" Mu Hanyan looked curiously at Ye Lanfeng.
As one of the most unlucky Sword Saints in history, she really didn’t know the difference between promoting earlier or later.
"The Third Realm of Sword Saint: rebirth, Qi Nourishing and Soul Condensing, Divine Transformation into void. After rebirth in the first realm, you can surpass your own limits, harmonize with the heavens and not suffer divine retribution due to overly powerful counter-heaven strength.
However, for cultivators on the Holy Court Continent, this rebirth only aligns with the incomplete Law of the Holy Court Continent, making it harder to comprehend the Heaven and Earth Rules of the Divine Continent, refine its Heaven and Earth Power.
Exactly for this reason, for over a million years, it’s difficult for both Holy Court Continent and Divine Continent cultivators to reach the previous realm; those legendary powers remain as legends.
If you were to promote to Sword Saint now, the result would be the same. While your cultivation advances quickly temporarily, further improvement later would be extremely difficult. It’s best to wait until after going to the North Abyss Misty Plain, having enough understanding of the Heaven and Earth Rules of the Divine Continent, and refining its Heaven and Earth Power, then promote, making future cultivation much easier," Ye Lanfeng patiently explained.
"So that’s how it is. Why didn’t you say earlier?" Mu Hanyan suddenly understood. She hadn’t realized that after entering the holy-grade realm, there were three realms, and that there was such a difference whether you promote to Sword Saint earlier or later.
"I only thought of this because I heard Master mention Xuanhuang Stone. To be fair, my current strength, much stronger than Dantai Changqing, Wei Xiaotian, and others, is due to Master’s favoritism," Ye Lanfeng said sentimentally.
The Holy Master risked his life to go to Luoshen Abyss not for himself, but gave him the only Xuanhuang Stone, showing Master’s affection, which naturally moved him.
"By the way, Holy Master went to Luoshen Abyss for you, but what about Fen Qianji going there?" Hearing this, Mu Hanyan felt a stir in her heart and asked curiously.
With Fen Qianji’s strength, obtaining the Xuanhuang Stone would be of no use to him, so why take such risks.
"Well, maybe we can only ask him face-to-face when we find him," Ye Lanfeng said.
At this point, both fell silent. Although Ye Lanfeng didn’t say explicitly, he could guess Fen Qianji might have gone to Luoshen Abyss looking for the Xuanhuang Stone for Mu Hanyan.
"You’re not stopping me from going?" After a long silence, Mu Hanyan asked.
Although she had nodded in thanks to the Holy Master earlier, the decision she made would not change. She would still try with all her might to find Luoshen Abyss and rescue Fen Qianji.
Upon hearing the Holy Master’s words, Mu Hanyan realized that Luoshen Abyss was far more treacherous than she had imagined. Perhaps Fen Qianji was already dead, but she must see his body if he were dead, she could not give up, even if there was only a sliver of hope, she would strive for it.
"Could I stop you?" Ye Lanfeng smiled slightly, then firmly held Mu Hanyan’s hand, "I’ll go with you, life or death, never leave nor abandon."
"Life or death, never leave nor abandon," Mu Hanyan nestled against Ye Lanfeng’s chest, saying with great determination.
In the following days, all the descendants of Divine Guardian were intensely cultivating to make final preparations for the journey to the North Abyss Misty Plain, and Mu Hanyan was no exception.
However, after Ye Lanfeng’s reminder, Mu Hanyan did not rush to breakthrough to Sword Saint, but continued to consolidate her cultivation while understanding the Sword Dao.
Though entering the mysterious realm of Heaven and Earth Sword Heart within the Holy Soul Illusion Realm, realizing her own Sword Dao, and thereby unleashing the divine power of the Sword Soul, it doesn’t mean she fully mastered it. In truth, she had only just stepped into the threshold of Sword Dao, and what other mysteries lie behind the door, she had to slowly explore.
Concentrating her mental state, Mu Hanyan’s mind became void-like, seemingly entering a chaotic world.
All around, above and below, the boundless void surrounded her, lacking sky, lacking ground, lacking light, and lacking darkness, so still it was suffocating.
If other cultivators had been here, their spirits would likely collapse instantly, hastily retreating from the Void Bright Realm; nonetheless, Mu Hanyan did not give up. She knew the oppressive nature of this chaotic void was due to her Sword Dao’s profound complexity, challenging to comprehend, but this only strengthened her determination to understand it fully.
Her mental state immersed within the chaotic void, everything seemed frozen, even time stood still. Mu Hanyan did not know how long had passed, nor how long she must wait, but continuously merged her mental state into the chaos.
