Seeking the Flying Sword Path

Chapter 703: Enhancement

Translator: CKtalon Editor: CKtalon

After entering a state of epiphany, all the problems that previously stumped him during cultivation were rapidly resolved. He overcame his bottlenecks and enjoyed a rapid improvement.

In the first year of his seclusion, he overcame a bottleneck and figured out a pinnacle Great Dao—the Dao of the Supreme Yang.

In the eighth year of his seclusion, he figured out another pinnacle Great Dao—Dao of the Supreme Yin.

Following that, it was the enhancement of the Misty Rain Array.

The core of the Misty Rain Array previously was the fusion of the Seven Stars Great Dao and the Great Dao of Heaven, Earth and Man. He had also drawn on the charms of the other-universe Heavenly Dao realm bloodline powers. As he needed to rely on the Misty Rain Array to survive the Itinerant Immortal tribulation, Qin Yun had been spending most of his efforts in the past few millennia on it. He naturally had many ideas about how to further it, but many questions arose as well. Many of them came from the Heavenly Dao realm’s bloodline powers. He too had referenced the Pangu bloodline powers, but similarly, that brought about many more questions.

In his state of epiphany, many of these problems were resolved.

He gained new insight in the fusion of the Seven Stars Great Dao and the Great Dao of Heaven, Man and Earth. The effects of the fusion became better.

He had more insights towards the Heavenly Dao realm bloodline powers, as well as tiny amounts of insight towards the Pangu bloodline powers.

These naturally fused into the Misty Rain Array, causing the Misty Rain Array to constantly metamorphosize.

...

In the chamber, a faint fragrance emanated.

Qin Yun, who was sitting cross-legged, had been in that state for five centuries. At that moment, his eyelids quivered slightly before he opened his eyes.

“The epiphany has ended after just this short while?” Qin Yun muttered. With a thought, he figured out the current time through the river of time and ended up laughing at himself. “It’s been five centuries? Time while being in a state of epiphany passes just too quickly.”

At times, one would feel that time passes very slowly.

At other times, one would feel that time passes very quickly. It was the same when in the state of epiphany.

A mind would find itself adrift for a moment, and in a blink, five centuries would past.

It was like A Golden Millet Dream, but the cultivation and insights during this dream were real and not illusory.

“I’ve figured out the Dao of Supreme Yang and the Dao of Supreme Yin in these five centuries. My insights into the other-universe Heavenly Dao realm bloodline powers have been increased dozens of times. Its fusion with the Seven Stars Great Dao and Great Dao of Heaven, Earth, and Man has become more miraculous. It has greatly increased my Misty Rain Array’s strength.” Qin Yun revealed a look of delight. “Even my offensive moves have been strengthened by 50%. My sword array’s defenses have been enhanced by more than one time.”

At his realm, the improvement of even a sliver was very difficult.

Although he had not spent a lot of effort on his offensive means in the past, he had still figured out a thing or two. With him being a sword immortal who was supposed to be good at the offensive, the state of epiphany easily rose his offensive means by 50%.

In the aspect of defense, Qin Yun had spent the most efforts there, so the improvement was most stark.

“What a pity.”

“I previously believed that it’s impossible for me to figure out a perfected Great Dao in a short period of time. Although I spent some effort in the Dao of Yin and Yang, I didn’t accumulate much insight in them.” Qin Yun shook his head. “This time, I only managed to figure out the Dao of Supreme Yang and Supreme Yin, but failed to fuse the two Dao together.”

Supreme Yin and Supreme Yang together with the fusion of Yin Yang.

The three fused together...

That was the Great Dao of Yin and Yang!

“But even so, the Dao of Supreme Yin and Dao of Supreme Yang are very important to me.” Qin Yun had a look of anticipation in his eyes. “Back when Pangu split the universe, that was the mark of a primordial beginning. The universe split into Yin and Yang. When the two came together, it formed Lightning, Wind, sunlight, rain, and all the myriad elements. The way the Myriad Things in the Heaven and Earth operate is key. They naturally can be fused into my Sword Dao. Furthermore, it will provide great help to my Sword Dao as well.

“Unfortunately, my state of epiphany has ended. What follows is for me to slowly figure it out myself.”

“Thankfully, I still have a century or so before the tribulation.”

Qin Yun continued cultivating.

His goal this time was to enhance the Misty Rain Array by fusing the two Great Dao of Supreme Yin and Supreme Yang with the Seven Stars Great Dao and the Great Dao of Heaven, Earth, and Man.

“That Sword Immortal Qin isn’t far from transcending his tribulation, right?” In the Heavenly Courts, two mighty figures were flying beside each other on clouds as they chatted.

“I did the calculations. There’s still 51 years before his twelfth Itinerant Immortal tribulation.

“51 years... it will pass very quickly. I wonder if Sword Immortal Qin will successfully transcend the tribulation or not. Many fellow Daoists have said that, based on the might of the Itinerant Immortal tribulations, the twelfth Itinerant Immortal tribulation might very well require the Heavenly Dao realm to defend against it.”

“There is always a silver lining in the Heavenly Dao. The Itinerant Immortal tribulation shouldn’t be that powerful.”

“Let’s see how it plays out. This is a matter of great importance in all of the Three Realms.”

The two mighty figures flew past while conversing.

...

As the day of Qin Yun’s tribulation approached, many mighty figures in the Three Realms would often mention Sword Immortal Qin. Even many Skyimmortals and Skyfiends knew that Sword Immortal Qin’s twelfth Itinerant Immortal tribulation was approaching! Even the lofty Dao Ancestors and Buddhist Ancestor were paying attention to Qin Yun, especially Numinous Treasure Dao Ancestor. After all, Qin Yun was his disciple, the disciple who was most qualified to inherit the title of sect master of the Green Touring Palace.

However, no one could help Qin Yun. Similarly, no one could stop Qin Yun.

Under the Itinerant Immortal tribulations...

No one tried to mess things up for involving themselves might similarly result in them suffering the Heavenly Tribulation.

“Why isn’t Father out of seclusion?” In Mt. Lightning Roar’s Qin Manor, Meng Huan had stayed in the manor all this time. He was worried for his father. “There’s 39 years left to the tribulation. Is Father going to wait to the last day before the tribulation?”

Once cultivators decided on the moment to exit seclusion, even if they were in an epiphany, they would awaken when the time came. Therefore, it was impossible to miss the timing.

“Brother Meng.” The nine-tailed fox, Qing Shuang, greeted him when she saw him drinking alone.

“Sister Qing Shuang.” Meng Huan nodded slightly.

Although Qing Shuang was considered Qin Yun’s eldest disciple, be it the moment when she became Qin Yun’s disciple or actual age, she was much younger than Meng Huan or Qin Yiyi.

“Brother Meng, you have been drinking frequently recently. This isn’t like you,” said Qing Shuang with a smile.

“Isn’t like me?” Meng Huan asked. “What am I like?”

“When it comes to diligence when cultivating, you are much better than us. You spend most of the day practicing your swordplay, but recently, you have been drinking frequently. I almost never see you practicing your swordplay anymore.”

“I can’t calm my heart.” Meng Huan took another swig at his alcohol. “The closer it is to the day of Father’s tribulation, the harder it is for me to calm my heart.”

“Brother Meng, what kind of figure is Master? He is someone who suppressed the fiends in the Three Realms alone. He will definitely be able to transcend the tribulation.”

“Yeah,” responded Meng Huan.

Qing Shuang sighed regretfully. Concern had left his emotions in chaos. Over the past few days, her master’s wife, Brother Meng, Qin Yiyi, and the rest were not in the best of states.

“Oh?”

Meng Huan suddenly turned his head upon sensing something. “Father is out?”

With a flash, he vanished.

“Master is out?” Qing Shuang rushed over as well.

...

A group of people came to welcome Qin Yun.

When Qin Yun looked upon everyone, he saw his parents. Since the final Itinerant Immortal tribulation was approaching, Qin Liehu and his wife rushed over from the Great Chang world. Their son was Sword Immortal Qin who was famous in the Three Realms, but he was ultimately their son, so they were worried for him. Of course, the couple had long become carefree Skyimmortals because of their son.

In the Three Realms, there was more than one treasure that allowed one to become a Skyimmortal immediately. Obtaining them was naturally not difficult for Qin Yun.

Aside from his parents, even his wife had become a half-step mighty figure thanks to the Ancestral Dragon Crystal.

“Father, Mother, the both of you came from the Great Chang world?” Qin Yun immediately said.

“We know that the day of your tribulation is approaching. Although we don’t wish to affect you, we still thought of coming. Therefore, we sought Divine Firmament Chapter’s Ancestral Master Zhang to send us here,” said Qin Liehu. By the side, Changlan said, “You don’t have to bother with us. Just ease your mind and prepare for the tribulation.”

Qin Yun smiled. “There’s not much left to do. I can bring the both of you on a tour of the Heavenly realm. It’s much bigger than the Great Chang world and many places worth visiting.”

Indeed.

Having cultivated to this stage, he was only 39 years away from transcending his tribulation. It was not possible for him to enhance himself any further in those short 39 years.

As long as he settled some miscellaneous matters and arranged everything for his family, he could face the tribulation with peace of mind.
