Chapter 656: Chapter 349 This is what a master is, truly too high_2
"The reason for the existence of the Heavenly Grotto is the relentless force that props open the Heaven and Earth Laws, expands the space of heaven and earth, allowing the Heavenly Grotto to persist."
"It's almost as if a hole has been punctured through heaven and earth?"
Xu Yan had some enlightenment in his heart, understanding the Void-breaking Realm more deeply. He vaguely felt he was only a little bit away from fully grasping the Martial Arts Techniques of the Void-breaking Realm.
Step by step, he moved toward the Heavenly Grotto; he wanted to see for himself exactly what the Heavenly Grotto was and how it had pierced through the domain to form.
The Heavenly Grotto of the Azure Sea's dark abyss was too small, offering limited insight, while this immense Heavenly Grotto allowed for a clearer perception.
"What is the eldest senior brother doing?"
Meng Chong said with surprise.
Everyone else was just as astonished. Was Xu Yan about to take action and battle the Seductive Witch?
He was indeed powerful, standing at the pinnacle among the geniuses of the Spiritual Realm, and in terms of strength, he was at the peak of the Spiritual Realm too.
But ultimately, he was not as powerful as the Heavenly Venerable.
The Heavenly Venerable had been killed, and after the Seductive Witch devoured the Heavenly Venerable's Divine Soul, her strength became even more formidable. How could Xu Yan match her?
Li Xuan's eyebrows raised slightly, his heart secretly thrilled.
"Xu Yan, seeing the Heavenly Grotto, has he gained some enlightenment of the Martial Arts Techniques of the Void-breaking Realm?
"This means that his breakthrough into the Void-breaking Realm might come very soon."
Li Xuan was full of anticipation; the strength of the Void-breaking Realm was the foundation for transcending the domain, even though it did not transcend heaven and earth itself.
And he had nearly finished creating the techniques above the Void-breaking Realm.
If Xu Yan could comprehend the Martial Arts Techniques of the Void-breaking Realm, he could pass on the techniques above the Void-breaking Realm to Xu Yan in advance.
Perhaps it wouldn't take long for him to understand as well?
"Xu Yan is not far from the Divine Skill Realm, is he!"
Li Xuan was brimming with expectation. Once Xu Yan entered the Divine Skill Realm, Li Xuan would gain feedback from his divine skills.
"Such a fragrant scent!"
Suddenly, the Seductive Witch looked up at Xu Yan, who was approaching the Heavenly Grotto, her eyes shining brightly.
"However, why does it feel like something is not quite right with him, as if swallowing him will be very, very difficult..."
The Seductive Witch was somewhat puzzled.
She always felt that this man was unusual, and swallowing him up seemed to be much harder than the Heavenly Venerable she had dealt with earlier.
"Little brother, feeling lonely by yourself? Do you need sister to keep you company?"
From the Jade Palace, Palace Master Yuying, her smile blooming like flowers, approached Xu Yan.
Her eyes shimmered with a faint pink glow.
The power of charm surged continuously as if trying to evoke primal desires.
"Be careful!"
Wu Tianan couldn't help but warn.
Xu Yan, however, did not even spare a glance; such charm power was utterly ineffective against him.
Li Xuan quietly put away the Book of Taicang, silently watching the Seductive Witch, ready to strike her down if she made a move!
As for the likes of the Jade Palace Master, she was merely a minor parasitic Divine Soul, not worth considering and unable to pose any threat to Xu Yan.
"Little brother..."
Palace Master Yuying drew closer and closer, the light veil on her body almost drifting away, revealing almost all of her tender white skin with a faint pink hue.
The scene of extreme seduction seemingly aimed to snatch away Xu Yan's heart and soul.
Fu Tianhai and the other experts of the Spiritual Realm stared with wide eyes, shocked to their core. Even at such a distance, and though not the intended target, they were somewhat affected by the power of charm.
How could Xu Yan, who was directly facing this charm and was full of youthful vigor, withstand it?
"Shameless!"
"Despicable woman who deserves to die!"
From the Evergreen Pavilion, Du Yuying and Yun Miaomiao angrily cursed.
"Get lost!"
Xu Yan said coldly.
He raised his hand and slashed with his sword.
This sword, swift as a flash, was like the convergence of mountains and rivers, as if all living beings wielded the sword for the strike.
Boom!
The Jade Palace Master did not expect Xu Yan to disregard her charm power.
With a change in expression, she hastily tried to defend herself.
Spurt!
However, under this sword strike, the Jade Palace Master's physical body instantly disintegrated.
The sliver of Divine Soul parasitizing in the Jade Palace Master's body was also shattered by the Sword Intent, dissolving into nothingness!
The Seductive Witch, who had been lazily reclining on a couch, suddenly changed her expression.
"What kind of Sword Dao is this? It can even destroy a strand of my Divine Soul?"
She sat up in shock, looking toward the young man who had reached the edge of the Heavenly Grotto.
"Little brother, you're killing this poor girl…"
Raising a tender white hand, she was about to grab Xu Yan.
"Do not disturb my disciple's comprehension."
A voice thundered in her mind, like a clap of thunder.
The hand that had been raised instantly stalled.
The Seductive Witch's expression changed dramatically, and she turned to look at the Evergreen Pavilion with a solemn look.
"Who are you?"
Li Xuan replied indifferently, "My name is more than you can bear!"
"What a joke!"
Standing up, the Martial Artists of the Quiet Snow Palace around the couch had all slumped to the ground, their Divine Souls all returning to the Seductive Witch's original body.
Meanwhile, more pink light emerged from the Heavenly Grotto, entering into the Seductive Witch's body.
Her strength continued to increase.
"There's no name my Seductive Witch can't bear!"
Li Xuan was still completely unperturbed, "The weight of my name isn't just unbearable for you, but even the Domain itself can't bear it!"
Blowing his own trumpet? He was very good at that!
Fu Tianhai and the others were greatly shocked. This was what a great master was like, wasn't it?
Indeed, he was too high to reach!
"Is that so? Then I, the Seductive Witch, must witness it…"
The Seductive Witch stepped out from the bed.
"You have not yet reached your ultimate peak. Wait until you have reached it before we talk. Now be quiet and do not disturb my disciple's comprehension," Li Xuan said as a mysterious aura flashed briefly around him.
The Seductive Witch was greatly shaken, her face extremely grave; this person seemed truly powerful.
She took a deep breath, silently standing in place, madly refining the Heavenly Venerable Divine Soul to enhance her strength, while trying to draw as much power as possible from the Heavenly Grotto.
Although the power that could be drawn from this Heavenly Grotto was limited, stronger by even a bit would still make a difference. Only with greater strength would she have the confidence to deal with this man!
The Seductive Witch's expression was extremely grave; she couldn't fathom why such a powerful person had appeared in the Spiritual Realm, even giving her a sense of unfathomability.
Her gaze flicked over, looking at Xu Yan who was peering intently into the bottom of the Heavenly Grotto, her eyebrows knitting slightly. What was he looking at?
Could he actually comprehend something from the Heavenly Grotto?
Taking a deep breath, a pink lotus flower emerged above her head.
In the center of the lotus, the likeness of the Seductive Witch appeared, the Heavenly Grotto trembling slightly and expanding just a bit.
Threads of pink aura continuously emerged from the bottom of the gray-black Heavenly Grotto, entering into the center of the lotus where the Seductive Witch's true form resided.
Xu Yan silently watched the Heavenly Grotto, a massive grotto that seemed to be underground but was actually in a gray and black cavernous space.
It was like a hole torn in the realm, as pink aura continuously emerged from the bottom of the gray-black Heavenly Grotto, as if transmitting from beyond the world through this hole.
"What is the Heavenly Grotto? Could it be connected through Heaven and Earth, with these auras coming from outside the Domain?"
Xu Yan mused internally.
The understanding of the Void-breaking Realm gradually became clear to him.
"Void-breaking, piercing through the void, shattering the void… Divine Skills are the principles of martial artists, and Physiognomy controls the principles of Heaven and Earth.
"Using one's own principles to penetrate the principles of Heaven and Earth, how to do that?
"It requires the Power of Void-breaking, but how to cultivate this power? Seep through, push open, tear apart, penetrate…"
As his comprehension deepened, Xu Yan's insight into the Void-breaking Realm became clearer and clearer.
Gradually, he had an idea about the Power of Void-breaking.
"The Void-breaking Realm is a major leap, and my master has transcended the Domain, truly a great figure. Even a slight display of his true aura can cause turmoil in the Domain.
"Because my master has surpassed the Domain, and clearly, Void-breaking is a foundation for that transcendence. One must possess the Power of Void-breaking, able to disregard the bonds of spatial Domain, to lay the foundation for surpassing the Domain.
"I see, I'm beginning to understand!"
Xu Yan had an epiphany at that moment; this was what the Void-breaking Realm was.
At this point, many insights surfaced in his mind, and the martial arts techniques of the Void-breaking Realm were almost all sorted out.
"I'll need some time to organize and refine my cultivation technique; then the martial arts techniques of the Void-breaking Realm will truly be comprehended!"
Xu Yan was overjoyed.
This trip was worth it!
Moreover, he had developed a strong interest in the Heavenly Grotto; standing here, he vaguely sensed something extraordinary within it.
It was not the nature's spiritual energy, but an indefinable, indescribable aura.
Coming back to his senses, he looked at the Seductive Witch, whose aura had recovered to its peak, and he turned and headed back to the Evergreen Pavilion.
Seeing that the Seductive Witch's aura had not increased further, having reached its limit, Li Xuan also breathed a sigh of relief.
He was genuinely afraid she would keep increasing in strength until she could oppose him; if he, as a great figure, couldn't suppress her with one hand, it would damage his image.
The reason he didn't stop the Seductive Witch was not simply to show off, but rather the threads of aura emanating from the Heavenly Grotto also helped Xu Yan in his comprehension of the Void-breaking Martial Arts Techniques.
This was the true reason he had not made a move until now.
