Chapter 640: Capital to be Absolutely Unrestrained (2/2)

The Heavenly Saber Pavilion was as peaceful as ever. No one was aware that Xiao Chen, who had just returned, had done something shocking in a distant land.

“Senior, fortunately, I did not fail. I have not lost the Divine Weapon!”

After experiencing the power of the Divine Weapon for himself, Xiao Chen gained a deeper appreciation for Leng Tianhe lending it to him.

Leng Tianhe was in no hurry to take back the Divine Weapon. He gave Xiao Chen’s wounds a glance and said, “Don’t be in a rush to leave. Let me take a look at your injuries.”

After fighting continuously big battles, especially using the Strength Character Formula together with Return of the Azure Dragon, Xiao Chen’s injuries reached a horrifying level.

Leng Tianhe used his right hand to hold Xiao Chen’s wrist. After checking Xiao Chen’s pulse, he exclaimed in shock, “Your physical body is extraordinarily strong. If other Martial Monarchs pushed themselves as hard as you did, they would have lost their lives long ago.

“However, the situation now is little better. In another half month, you will be leaving the Sky Dome Realm. You should stay with me during this period of time to treat your injuries.”

Leng Tianhe personally treated Xiao Chen, using his own Source Energy and the peak grade treatment-type Medicinal Pills the Heavenly Saber Pavilion acc.u.mulated over the years to help Xiao Chen heal quickly.

Seven days later, Xiao Chen was completely recovered. He became much more spirited and lively.

The battles at the Wan Clan’s palace provided Xiao Chen with rich experience—particularly his battle with Wan Feng. Wan Feng’s will of ice had given him great motivation.

Before Martial Monarch, cultivators had to have a peak state before they could defeat someone above their cultivation realm—when they would be considered geniuses.

However, after reaching the Martial Monarch realm, peak states were too common. Only when one raised their states into wills could they defeat someone above their cultivation realm.

The most important reason why Wan Feng could look down on all the Martial Monarchs in the Sky Dome Realm was his rudimentary comprehension of the will of ice. Also, his Quintessence was much purer and more plentiful than that of the Sky Dome Realm’s cultivators.

If Wan Feng had advanced his will of ice by another step, he might have defeated Xiao Chen, despite the Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram and the Strength Character Formula that strengthened Martial Techniques by thirty-three times.

“I have to make full use of my time to try and comprehend my will,” Xiao Chen said resolutely as he clenched his right fist tightly.

After making up his mind, Xiao Chen immediately went to look for Leng Tianhe. With such a Martial Sage present, it would be too wasteful if he did not go and ask for pointers.

When Leng Tianhe learned of Xiao Chen’s intentions, he could not help but laugh. He said, “How old are you now? You are still so young, and you already want to comprehend a will.”

Xiao Chen could not understand. He asked, “Could it be that will has something to do with age?”

Leng Tianyun nodded and said, “It definitely has nothing to do with age. However, some people lived for five or six hundred years, even reached Martial Sage, and they still did not comprehend their wills.

“To advance a state into a will, there are several important factors. First is talent, second is breadth of knowledge, and the third is opportunity. Talent is simple; it refers to the comprehension of a person. You managed to comprehend a new Four Season Saber Technique on your own, so your comprehension is definitely not poor.

“The so-called breadth of knowledge refers to a cultivator’s personal experiences. There are many great realms and many strange and profound phenomena happening. How many do you think you have experienced?

“Even if you achieve this, without the right opportunity, you will never be able to comprehend your will.”

Xiao Chen looked pensive. However, he still said doubtfully, “That welcoming envoy, Wan Feng, he is only three or four years older than me. However, he already gained a rudimentary understanding of will. How is that?”

Leng Tianhe smiled faintly and replied, “That is actually not will. If I remember correctly, the Extreme Yin Sect has a special method to strengthen the state of ice. It can increase the might of a peak state of ice by twenty percent.

“If he truly comprehended a will, you definitely would not be his opponent. I became a Martial Sage ten years ago. Even in the Kunlun Realm, my talent is considered outstanding. However, I still have not comprehended my own will.”

To think wills are so hard to comprehend!

Xiao Chen frowned heavily. Unexpectedly, even Leng Tianhe had not comprehended his will. Leng Tianhe probably did not lack talent or breadth of knowledge. It was likely that he had not encountered an opportunity.

Leng Tianhe stood up and casually waved his hand. A cool breeze immediately blew within the room, bringing with it a gentle warmth and making one relax with indescribable contentment.

“Xiu!”

Suddenly, Leng Tianhe stretched out his hands, and the cool breeze slowly disappeared. In its place, a bone-chillingly cold wind blew. The force of the wind did not change, but when it blew at Xiao Chen, it felt even more painful than knife cuts.

“Boom!”

Leng Tianhe moved his hand again, and a strong wind swirled, howling within the room and shaking the furnis.h.i.+ngs inside.

“Chi! Chi! Chi!”

In that instant, the strong wind stopped blowing and turned into thousands of wind arrows that shot the room full of holes.

Sunlight shone through the holes. When the beams of light merged together, they formed a mottled light, illuminating the entire room.

When Xiao Chen saw all this, he could not help his astonishment. Leng Tianhe managed to make the simple wind display a variety of scenes under his manipulation.

Given Xiao Chen’s cultivation, he would not be able to pull off the techniques and finesse necessary for this display.

Leng Tianhe could produce a cool breeze or a gale strong enough to blow the roof off. However, he still could not do it with ease.

He retracted his hand and muttered, “I have already gained a rudimentary understanding of the will of wind. All I lack is an opportunity, and I can advance my state into a will.

“You cannot use the earlier demonstration as a template to follow. It should only be used to broaden your horizons. There is a great difference between thunder and wind; as for how to comprehend it, you have to rely on yourself.”

Xiao Chen quickly performed a cupped-fist salute as thanks. This demonstration had indeed broadened his horizons. He discovered that his previous line of thought had been too restrictive.
