After Favorability Is Maxed

It wasn’t how powerful the sword move was, but the principle behind its trajectory. It wasn’t how it was done, but why.

When these steps that were supposed to be natural were dismantled, the skills that could be used naturally in the past seemed to become unfamiliar. They were no longer skills, but a whole new kind of knowledge.

However, this change was currently limited to the few sword-type skills he had learned.

Although he had opened a secondary weapon slot due to Evil Heart of Killing, most players did not have the energy to learn both weapons. Only god-level players could master both. Liu Yuan was just an ordinary conquering strategy player. Although dual-wielding was cool, he really could not afford to play it. He could only symbolically practice it and point a few common skills. Occasionally, he could also use it to show off.

However, it was precisely because he had not learned any of the more advanced skills that he had a feeling of sudden Enlightenment. He was like a piece of white paper that could be easily wiped away.

If it was when he had just transmigrated, it would have been very difficult to understand this, but now that he was in the Core Formation stage, it was a different experience.

The Sword Intent contained in cutting open the river tide and cutting open the flesh was actually largely similar, and it was the word ‘Dao’.

The skill of dissecting an ox was nothing more than practice, but more importantly, he understood the internal structure of the ox and the skills of using the knife. He did not hesitate at all when he used it. He knew clearly which joint and meridian he needed to cut open. It was clean and neat, and it was like a beautiful dance.

The same was true for Zhiying’s swordsmanship. What she had just displayed was the purest form. There was no spiritual power or anything fancy. It was just the simplest move, but it was fascinating.

The power of the river tide was the same. The water was invisible, so how could it be broken? However, Zuo Youhuai had done it, and so had he. The root of it was actually finding the joints and meridians of the water.

That was all Liu Yuan could comprehend in that instant. However, if he focused on sword cultivation, he would know that this was the foundation and end of a person’s sword Dao.

He had just noticed the sword’s body trembling, and he came back to his senses, the sword in his hand also quieted down, and there was no movement.

After that, Tang Yuanhua and the others arrived.

“Since that’s the case, let’s go in and take a look.” Liu Yuan smiled in a friendly manner and looked at the white jade-like palace. “Just the beast guarding the door here is dangerous enough. I really don’t know what’s inside. Now that everyone has lost their cultivation, we’re like grasshoppers on a rope. If we work together, we can take care of each other. Otherwise, it’s not worth it to pay with our lives for these things.”

Although neither side trusted the other, they could only be harmonious on the surface. If they really shed all pretenses of cordiality, they would change the way they played.

Tang Yuanhua and the others also had the same idea. They nodded in agreement and entered the palace through the square door. At the same time, the people from both sides arranged themselves in two rows and moved forward side by side to avoid suspicion from each other.

This was because none of the Immortal cultivators present knew how to make a torch. Moreover, if a torch was used to explore such a collapsed building, it would consume oxygen in the event that the bottom was very narrow or blocked, and they would die faster.

Although… the people here didn’t know about oxygen.

However, no one knew how to do it anyway, so it saved Liu Yuan the trouble of explaining.

He deeply realized that immortal cultivators could not be adventurers without spells, and he felt relieved that he did not know how to use fire piston when he first transmigrated.

In this awkward situation, they had no choice but to use a Night Pearl that He Qingmeng had provided to light up the ancient white walls.

This place was filled with dust and the air was very turbid. The lines on the white walls were filled with dark yellow mud, looking dirty and with many cracks.

The ground was covered in black blood stains, and the smell of rotting soil and mud was everywhere. It was nauseating.

Everyone held their breath and lightened their steps. However, this made them feel uncomfortable, as if something was spying in the dark.

The two little foxes were still at the front, but their keen sense of smell and tracking skills were completely useless now.

The two of them covered their noses more tightly than anyone else. They puffed up their cheeks and looked reluctant. In the end, Liu Yuan had to carry them and walk forward.

In this way, Hong Luan was unhappy. That seat was originally hers, but it was now snatched away by those two foxes. She tugged at the corner of Liu Yuan’s clothes. The latter turned around and met the round eyes of the little puppet.

He had no choice but to carry her on his back.

With Chuichui lying on top of his head, the original group of people had become Liu Yuan and a string of accessories.

He Qingmeng, who was watching from the side, covered her mouth and laughed. She reached out and poked Chuichui, adjusting the position of the kitten.

Liu Yuan did not know whether to laugh or cry, while Tang Yuanhua and the others twitched their mouths. The originally tense and serious atmosphere was completely destroyed.

But halfway through, Su Zhuang’s ears twitched, and she suddenly became alert, “There’s a sound!”

The two little foxes and the Hong Luan immediately jumped down from Liu Yuan’s body silently.

Everyone stopped in their tracks and held their breaths.

As expected, he heard a heavy breathing sound. It was hoarse and sounded like drooling. In this dark and quiet environment, it really made people tremble.

It was accompanied by the sound of heavy footsteps.

Liu Yuan listened attentively for a few breaths and determined that it was coming from the upper left.

He looked up and exchanged looks with the others. He decided to wait quietly for it to pass and try not to get into a conflict.

The palace was so quiet. Once a fight broke out, it might attract other demon beasts.

Just as he was thinking about this, he suddenly saw Pang Ying, who had been standing on the other side, suddenly stand in the middle while everyone was holding their breath and focusing their attention on the top.

It would have been fine if she had just been standing there, but she happened to be standing right next to He Qingmeng.

Earlier, because the little foxes had been fighting with Hong Luan, He Qingmeng had stood aside. Now, Pang Ying was quietly approaching He Qingmeng, her eyes filled with malice.

It was not killing intent, but a smugness of success.

She twisted the Yarrow in her hand into a line, which became as sharp as a needle, and flicked it towards He Qingmeng’s arm.

Pang Ying wouldn’t do something so stupid as to kill someone at a time like this. However, since He Qingmeng’s blood could open the Secret Realm, it might have some effect in this palace.

In a split second, Liu Yuan raised his sword to block He Qingmeng’s attack.

Who knew that the Yarrow was as hard as gold and iron, and when it collided with the sword, a crisp sound was produced.

That crisp sound was many times louder than their voices. In an instant, the heavy breathing that had already gone far away suddenly stopped.

After a momentary pause, a roar suddenly came. With a bang, the white jade wall above them cracked open, and a huge humanoid creature with four thin limbs fell to the ground with dust and opened its rotten mouth at the crowd.
