Chapter 353: Liu Qiyue's Breakthrough

Welcome, fellow readers!

Meng Chuan stood in mid-air on the plaza in front of the main hall, with the Bloodblade Disk hovering before him.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Eighteen bloodblades flew out from the Bloodblade Disk. Each bloodblade was curved, with incredibly sharp edges on both sides of the arc.

“Defend.”

Meng Chuan channeled his true essence, activating the runic arrays within the disk and the eighteen bloodblades. The bloodblades slowly rotated around Meng Chuan, following a peculiar, rhythmic pattern.

“Both flight and defense have runic arrays,” Meng Chuan thought to himself. “The deeper I comprehend them, the greater their power will be.”

“So I need to study them diligently.”

“Fortunately, this is a secret treasure of the lightning lineage, and the runes contain the essence of the lightning lineage,” Meng Chuan mused, examining them closely.

“Whoosh.”

The Bloodblade Disk shrank to three feet in size. Meng Chuan stepped onto it, activating the flight runic arrays with his true essence.

He had already reached the Dharma Domain realm in the ‘Light Aspect’ of the lightning lineage. While the Bloodblade Disk's runic arrays encompassed everything, the Light Aspect was indeed central to its flight arrays! With Meng Chuan’s accumulated knowledge in this area, he quickly understood many runes, allowing him to unleash significant power from these arrays.

A flash of electric light streaked past.

The suppression from the world grew stronger, making his body feel as heavy as a mountain, yet Meng Chuan’s face was filled with joy.

“So fast, so fast.” Meng Chuan was delighted with his ultra-high-speed flight. “I covered 120 li in a single flash.”

“It becomes increasingly difficult to raise speed further, but my current speed has more than doubled. It truly lives up to its reputation as a Tribulation Realm level secret treasure.” Meng Chuan was very excited, clearly realizing that the runic arrays were far more refined than his simple movement techniques. Of course, this was also due to the Bloodblade Disk's inherent material. Meng Chuan could feel the Bloodblade Disk carrying him, transforming into lightning as he flew, once his true essence merged with it.

The Bloodblade Disk made him more attuned to lightning.

“If I can comprehend more runes, I can fly even faster,” Meng Chuan suddenly thought. “Hmm? Isn’t this guiding me… on how to become faster and faster?”

“According to the Bloodblade Disk's flight runic arrays, the deeper my comprehension, the higher my cultivation realm will be in terms of speed,” Meng Chuan's eyes lit up. “By the same logic, the deeper I comprehend the defensive arrays, the more profound my defensive capabilities will become.”

“Speed can also be used in combat. Manipulating the bloodblades for ultra-high-speed attacks. The bloodblades can fly much faster than my physical body.”

“Defense involves the perfect coordination of many bloodblades and control over space. But what if it’s used to trap and kill enemies? It’s the same. They cooperate perfectly, sealing off space, leaving enemies nowhere to escape. To annihilate enemies… they can even围攻 attack and kill from any angle.”

The more Meng Chuan thought, the more excited he became.

“This Bloodblade Disk has runic arrays that are very clear, from shallow to deep levels. I can currently see 128 tiers, plus some that are still unclear.”

“My process of comprehension is a process of self-improvement.”

“And it’s certain that this path is a grand path to mastery. In the lightning lineage, it might even lead directly to the achievements of that Seventh Tribulation Realm mighty one in the lightning lineage.”

“This is a guardian secret treasure, but it’s also a unique legacy secret treasure, isn’t it? It’s a hundred, even a thousand times more precious than any Black Iron Heavenly Book.”

Meng Chuan was also clear-headed. “However, what suits me best is what matters. I don't necessarily have to follow the path of that mighty one entirely, but I can draw inspiration from it, extracting what suits me, such as the Light Aspect, Nine Heavens Aspect, Yin-Yang Aspect, Roaming Dragon Aspect, and many other aspects. That mighty one’s achievements in the lightning lineage are likely far beyond any senior in our human world.”

Although Patriarch Cang Yuan was also a Seventh Tribulation Realm mighty one, one could see from his Reincarnation Spear Art that he didn’t specialize in the lightning lineage.

“At the very least, the runic arrays of this Bloodblade Disk have shown me how the Light Aspect lineage can break through the world’s limitations and reach the Grotto-Heaven realm,” Meng Chuan felt fortunate that he chose this one. The other two Tribulation Realm level weapon secret treasures might have been more powerful, but they might not have provided step-by-step guidance from shallow to deep, like teaching a disciple.

“No wonder, from ancient times to the present, no one in the human world has been able to break through the world’s limitations in the Light Aspect lineage.”

“Even following this senior’s method, it’s still incredibly difficult. But once mastered, it might be even more powerful than True Martial King’s ‘True Martial Power’.” Meng Chuan sensed the vast runic arrays within the Bloodblade Disk. Old Man Yin-Yang was formidable when he first achieved the Grotto-Heaven realm, and True Martial King advanced further on that foundation. The Seventh Tribulation Realm mighty one, from their lofty perspective, set an even more brilliant path for later generations.

“Obtaining the Bloodblade Disk is like gaining a master,” Meng Chuan rejoiced, studying it meticulously.

Jiangzhou City.

After the New Year, spring gradually arrived, and the peach blossoms in the courtyard began to bloom, attracting bees to collect nectar.

Liu Qiyue stood before a peach tree, inhaling the fragrance and watching several small bees buzz and fly among the blossoms.

“Ah Chuan still hasn’t returned. I wonder how many months it will be,” Liu Qiyue smiled faintly. “If he knew I’ve also reached the Dharma Domain realm, he’d surely be very happy.”

Indeed.

Liu Qiyue had finally broken through to the Dharma Domain realm.

She had actually reached the ‘Peak of the Dao Realm’ earlier than Meng Chuan. Later, Meng Chuan’s gift of the ‘Phoenix Soaring Art’ showed her the direction for breakthrough. Coupled with her experience of phoenix nirvana during her cultivation to protect the city, she had a sudden enlightenment during the nirvana, understanding more and more about the ‘Dharma Domain realm’. After several more years of cultivation, in this early spring, she finally reached the Dharma Domain realm.

“But to become a Regis Godfiend, I still need a third-level Primordial Spirit.”

“I’ve been a Marquis Godfiend for many years, and I’ve undergone phoenix nirvana several times. When will I reach the third-level Primordial Spirit?” Liu Qiyue murmured.

Age, realm, Primordial Spirit—these were the three major thresholds.

Liu Qiyue wasn’t sure when she would reach the third-level Primordial Spirit.

Meng Chuan sat cross-legged on the plaza in front of the main hall, with the Bloodblade Disk hovering before him.

“Go.”

With a single thought from Meng Chuan.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

The bloodblades instantly transformed into electric light, attacking forward at ultra-high speed. They were faster than Meng Chuan drawing his own blade and more terrifying in their might. In mid-air, only dazzling electric light could be seen. Meng Chuan, however, could clearly perceive the eighteen bloodblades forming a line, continuously striking a distant point in an instant, causing that point to tear open with a roar, revealing gray chains sealing off the outside.

“It actually shattered the Grotto-Heaven barrier,” a phantom figure emerged from the main hall. It was Qin Wu, who exclaimed, “This attack of yours is roughly at the threshold of Creation Realm power.”

“I only unleashed this power thanks to the Bloodblade Disk,” Meng Chuan said with a smile.

These days of comprehending the flight runic arrays had given Meng Chuan many insights, significantly improving his understanding in the Light Aspect lineage.

“A Tribulation Realm mighty one’s secret treasure is still just a secret treasure,” Qin Wu’s phantom figure shook his head. “How much power it can unleash still depends on the individual. It’s your high comprehension.”

Meng Chuan smiled and said, “Master, I have now initially mastered the Bloodblade Disk. It’s time for me to leave.”

“A few more months won’t make a difference,” Qin Wu’s phantom figure said earnestly. “Your safety is crucial to our human race’s hope of defeating the million demon kings, and to the hope of winning the war. It's better to comprehend this secret treasure more.”

“I know. I’ve been here for over three months already. To further enhance the Bloodblade Disk’s power, I need a breakthrough in my own realm,” Meng Chuan said. “It’s normal for that to take three to five years, or even ten years. So, it's better to leave now.”

Qin Wu looked at Meng Chuan, smiled, and nodded: “Alright, but be careful once you’re outside.”

With the Azure Cloud Heaven for protection and the protective stone talisman, Yuanchu Mountain was confident in Meng Chuan’s safety.

Moreover, Meng Chuan’s own strength was not weak.
