Chapter 1960 - 638: Sword God
"Inner Heaven and Earth?" Azure Dragon Star Lord pondered, "Is it using oneself as a heaven and earth?"
Lu Luanti nodded, "Emperor Xuanhuang believes that the human body is a microcosm of heaven and earth. The Tao gives birth to all things, heaven and earth are the greatest among things, humanity is the essence among things. Seeking from Tao, people align with heaven and earth, comparing the heart to heaven, the kidney to earth, the liver to yang, and the lung to yin.
Humans can cultivate an inner heaven and earth within the place where kidney water transforms into qi and flourishes. Thus, like heaven and earth, it runs endlessly, allowing longevity and strengthening over time. It’s said this is a dharma gate created by the Primordial Emperor in response to the calamity of turbid qi. Though it can’t achieve true indifference to external seeking, its demand on heaven and earth is far less, not even a percent of what the Eternal Gods require."
"I see."
Azure Dragon Star Lord’s eyes revealed strong admiration, "This Primordial Emperor, is he one of your Human Clan? A remarkable person indeed. This is not only a good method to counter turbid qi but also avoids some flaws of the Eternal Gods."
He had long sensed that Chu Xisheng and Lu Luanti were minimally affected in this No Heaven Black Prison filled with turbid qi.
It must be due to the inner heaven and earth.
Azure Dragon Star Lord then looked with a peculiar gaze at the figures fiercely fighting in the distance: "However, I can tell that the inner heaven and earth of that White Emperor’s offspring is fake, and still requires external energy integration. Chu Xisheng’s is genuine, truly indifferent to external seeking."
As an Emperor, Azure Dragon Star Lord saw through the White Emperor’s offspring’s illusion.
His inner heaven and earth are indeed formidable, but occasionally he has to open the apertures within his body to draw the primordial qi of heaven and earth into the small heaven within.
That’s much like humans needing to exchange air by breathing, drawing in clear qi and releasing turbid qi.
The so-called endless life of inner heaven and earth is just the repeated high utilization rate of the primordial spirit.
Chu Xisheng is different.
He is truly indifferent to external seeking, not needing any kind of exchange.
A cluster of primordial spirit in his chest and abdomen, used eternally.
"Normally, inner heaven and earth are like that of the White Emperor’s offspring."
Lu Luanti shook his head, "That fellow is adept at Chaos Skill, so he has improved the method of inner heaven and earth. He said no matter if heaven and earth are clear or turbid, primordial qi is yin or yang, all can be utilized within his chaos."
Of course, the essence is not that simple. Chu Xisheng also consulted her and Chu Yunyun; the three together devised many methods, studying some unique techniques to barely achieve this.
Chu Xisheng regards his five internal organs and six hollow organs as a furnace, decomposing and refining the turbid qi to truly achieve ’environmental protection.’
——That’s the term Chu Xisheng used.
"Is that so?"
Azure Dragon Star Lord’s eyes were tumultuous, "This one indeed has the bearing of a Heavenly Emperor; no wonder the White Emperor’s offspring pays him such attention, his fundamental path is extraordinary."
However, at this moment, Chu Xisheng, who has the appearance of a Heavenly Emperor, is being overwhelmed.
The White Emperor’s offspring, with a few casual sword strikes, completely shattered Chu Xisheng’s Divine Intent Touch Death Blade.
His ’Mirror Reflection’ move was also forced to interrupt.
Chu Xisheng couldn’t help but feel a slight heaviness in his heart.
The opponent directly worked from the essence of power, gathering the power of heaven and earth for their own use directly.
Chu Xisheng uses the Mirror Sky Technique to borrow power from heaven and earth, ultimately separated by a layer, inferior to the White Emperor’s offspring, who directly works from the essence of power, effortlessly controlling all powers in heaven and earth.
At this moment, although Chu Xisheng’s Vengeance Technique is ingenious enough, and his utilization of Heavenly Rules has improved, he is able to resolve it.
After all, he practices not Mirror Sky but Vengeance, a technique embedded with causality and revenge, integrated with strong Geng Metal Power within Mirror Sky—
If not superior in utilizing and controlling power, then he will start directly from causality and revenge.
Unfortunately, Chu Xisheng’s understanding and control of Heavenly Rules are far from being a match for the White Emperor’s offspring.
This is not because his sword skill is flawed, but because his own foundation is inferior.
"It’s a pity, your sword skill is miraculous but limited to the Vengeance Technique."
The White Emperor’s offspring seemingly saw through his thoughts, and in the few sword strikes that followed, he also integrated the causality and revenge technique.
If Chu Xisheng hadn’t timely realized and decisively severed the trace of retribution, he would now have the White Emperor’s offspring’s sword pressing against his throat, directly defeated.
However, the opponent clearly demonstrated his intention.
Even if Chu Xisheng responded with the causality and revenge technique, the opponent could easily resolve it.
"I have seen the blade of Blood Vengeance Blade Lord, truly has celestial demeanor, awe-inspiring, but alas heaven does not grant longevity, unable to progress further. So what about you, Chu Xisheng? You inherited Blood Vengeance Blade Lord’s sword skill, is this all? Let me see, how far have you walked on the Sword Tao—"
The White Emperor’s offspring hadn’t finished his words when he noticed something different before him regarding Chu Xisheng.
He felt that Chu Xisheng now seemed to have transformed into a chaos.
The power slashed by the White Emperor’s offspring, a considerable part was dissolved and absorbed by this chaos, integrated into the chaos.
Chaos—
The White Emperor’s offspring couldn’t help but squint his eyes.
He had previously noted the difference in Chu Xisheng’s inner heaven and earth from his own.
Chaos Skill? Is this his Tao?
This dharma gate indeed has grand intentions, yet seems sufficient in defense but lacking in offense?
He swiftly overturned this judgment,
as Chu Xisheng continued counter-attacking with him.
Each slashed stroke, not only formless and imageless, silent and colorless, without beginning or end, boundless, unnamable, elusive, difficult to determine its path.
And each stroke, crushing over his ’chaos’!
Chu Xisheng’s ’chaos’ continued absorbing his sword power, persistently growing stronger, continuously increasing.
