Chapter 42 Ten Years (1/2)

Three days later, Lyu Xinyun officially became a disciple of the Xuan Nyu Sect. At the same time, she would also be the registered disciple of the Xuan Nyu Fairy.

On the night before Lyu Xinyun left for Xuan Nyu Sect, Lyu Liang went to visit her secretly. The siblings chatted for nearly the whole night. At the same time, he asked his sister to bring a Bottleneck-breaking Pill to Shangguan Ying. When Lyu Xinyun departed the next day, Lyu Liang did not go to bid her farewell.

Xu Mubai also left the Sword Character Immortal Palace on the day of Lyu Xinyun's departure. Before leaving, Lyu Liang and Li Wuyi bade him farewell, and the three promised to meet at the entrance of the Sword Character Immortal Palace twenty years later.

By now, Lyu Liang had spent all his energy on cultivation. Before he started his closed-door meditation, Lyu Liang had informed all his acquaintances including Yu Jun, and also told them that he would compete for the qualifications to enter the Land of Origin in the Demon Realm. Of course, there were only a few people who knew about his possession of the Demon Emperor Horn which allowed him to enter the core area.

After knowing Lyu Liang's plan, the Sword Character Immortal Palace deliberately opened up a new cave residence with a small world inside just for Lyu Liang's closed-door meditation. The founding father of Sword Character set it up at a forbidden place of the Immortal Palace that had the most abundant Primordial Qi, and only the eight Fairy Immortals had the permission to enter. This was done in a secretive way, and only the founding father of Sword Character and his four pro-disciples knew about it.

Lyu Liang was ecstatic! This was not only beneficial to his own cultivation, but also to the recovery of the Feiling sword and the Huanglei Five-dragon sword!

Finally, the Immortal Zhenyuan set up a formation outside Lyu Liang's cave residence. The formation could prevent exploration and interruption from other people and also resist the internal earth-shaking vibration that Lyu Liang might cause when he had his breakthrough.

Everything was arranged properly, and Lyu Liang officially started his closed-door meditation.

Ten years passed in a flash.

In the past ten years, Lyu Liang created 'Xuanyuan Swordsmanship II', which was combined from Xuanyuan Swordsmanship and his own experience on the Sword Tao domain. Lyu Liang had made his achievements in the Sword Tao by leaps and bounds.

Of course, this was also due to the abundant Primordial Qi in the new cave residence. Although the amount was not as much as what the Virtual Land had, it was definitely top quality in the Mortal Realm.

With the help of Black, his Devil Reshaping Technique had also improved, but was not significant compared to the Xuanyuan Mantra and Sword Tao. After all, Lyu Liang also had to put in his Divine Sense to maintain the Shadow-devil Domain which meant he was multitasking. His constitution of the five elements allowed him to practice several Mind Mantras and Cultivation Methods at the same time. Therefore, Lyu Liang was satisfied with what he had achieved. At most, he could go back to the Virtual Land and make up for it at the southern side.

During the closed-door meditation, every other year, the Hunyuan Sword Immortal would come to the door of Lyu Liang's cave residence, and each time he threw in a voice note and left. The content was regarding the people and things related to Lyu Liang.

...

Time flies like water, and in the blink of an eye, ten years had passed.

One morning, the Hunyuan Sword Immortal threw in a voice note but did not leave as usual. Instead, he smiled and waited for something.

After a while, lights flashed at the entrance of the cave residence and Lyu Liang's figure emerged. Compared with ten years ago, there was not much difference in his appearance, his aura was stable, and people could not see through his cultivation level. However, the look in his eyes was more determined than before. At the same time, he had become more mature in his temperament.

Seeing the Hunyuan Sword Immortal, Lyu Liang made a deep bow, ”Thank you, chief Ancestor, for your care! Now that ten years have passed, I want to leave the Immortal Palace for the time being and go to the place where my hometown is, and return after a year!”

”Well, before you leave, don't forget to tell the Master,” the Hunyuan Sword Immortal smiled and nodded. He waved his hand and disappeared with Lyu Liang at the same time.

When he reappeared, Lyu Liang was already in his cave residence.

Lyu Liang grinned, closed his eyes and began to recollect the bits and pieces that happened in the past ten years.

About himself, after taking nearly a hundred Foundation Establishment Pills and a Bottleneck-breaking Pill, he broke through to the Early-stage of Gold Core a year ago.

His Xuanyuan Mantra had now touched the threshold of the Gold Core Realm. In terms of the strength of his Divine Soul, Lyu Liang was about the same level as the Peak of Nascent Soul!

He could now skillfully use the sixth tier of Xuanyuan Swordsmanship, Ocean-splitting Move.

In terms of Heart Swordsmanship, Lyu Liang felt most satisfied. Although he only realized one style, its power was the strongest among all of his current moves, and the style was named 'Tranquility Sword Essence'.

The Devil Reshaping Technique was only upgraded to the fifth tier. After Lyu Liang returned to the Virtual Land, he needed to hurry and upgrade another level.

The most depressing one was the Kun Peng Skill. Since he had reached the third tier, he could never even touch the edge of promotion. Lyu Liang always felt that there was an invisible layer hindering him, and there was no clue to be found. Finally, he asked Black, and the answer he got was dumbfounding: Because Lyu Liang was not from the Demon Clan, there was no Demon Core and Demon Qi in his body...

Regarding the others, Lyu Liang was concerned about the news of Shangguan Ying.

In the past ten years, Shangguan Ying lived up to her reputation as a blessed girl with a special constitution. At present, she has reached the Late-stage of Gold Core. It was hopeful that in the next ten years, she would be able to reach the Peak of Gold Core. This made Lyu Liang so happy that he could not stop smiling.

As for the others, Li Wuyi started closed-door meditation when Lyu Liang started his. During this period, he asked Zhang Youshan to go to the market place and bought something for him, and there was no news from then on. He had not come out of his meditation yet.

Zhao Tianding who also received a bottle of Foundation Establishment Pills from Lyu Liang earlier on had reached the Middle-stage of Foundation Establishment.

The most pleasant surprise for Lyu Liang was that the blue-eyed Giant Tiger which had been quietly upgrading itself to the Peak of Great Demon Level. It was said that the tiger had touched the threshold of the Early-stage of Demon Spirit. However, the most important thing was that it had actually awakened its inborn talent!

Lyu Liang only had two Bottleneck-breaking Pills left, and he deliberately set one aside for the Giant Tiger. After all, it was currently his most trusted helper.
