Li Hong was a strong opponent and Yi Yun did not know Li Hong’s full strength. Although he was confident about tomorrow’s battle, he could not guarantee his victory. He had to go all out.
Yi Yun would not waste the time he had at night.
This was a big bet. If he won it, he would obtain the ‘Truth of the Laws’. This was something Yi Yun was in absolute desperate need of to help him understand the laws!
When Cang Yan opened the door to the saber tomb for Yi Yun, Yi Yun suddenly had a thought and looked thoughtfully at the other chamber.
That was the… sword tomb!
If he entered the sword tomb, what would happen?
Yi Yun knew he was not a natural saber user. When he chose the saber in the Jin Long Wei Divine Capital armory, he did not have the feeling of that legendary physical affinity.
The reason why he could gain insight on the Saber Truth’s 32 Words had nothing to do with his accomplishments in the way of the saber, it was completely due to his energy vision. He could see the energy flows inside the Saber Truth’s 32 Words at a glance.
These energy flows were in fact equivalent to the laws of the saber truths!
If he entered the sword tomb, would he gain an additional bonus?
The laws in the saber and sword tombs were incomprehensible profound truths for many sages. Even with the profound truths laid out there, very few of those who entered the tombs gained anything from them, because they could not comprehend anything!
Since he had the facilities to do so, why would he not try to gain further insights to broaden his horizons?
“Kid, what are you standing around for? Why aren’t you entering?” Cang Yan’s voice suddenly interrupted Yi Yun’s thoughts.
Noticing Yi Yun’s gaze, Cang Yan knit his eyebrows, “Kid, you cannot be interested in the sword tomb…”
Yi Yun hesitated because he did not know what to say.
He knew that the truths in the sword and saber tombs were something sages of various generations had trouble understanding a tinge of it, let alone learning both at the same time.
Cang Yan gave Yi Yun an odd glance, “Rotten rascal, I’m warning you. Don’t go crazy on me! It was rare for me to see you have such talent on the way of the saber, don’t waste it!”
“By being able to gain insight into the Saber Truth’s 32 Words’ saber truth, it proves you have an extraordinary keen sense in the saber truths. But the more keen you are on the saber truths, the lesser your senses will be for the sword truths.” Cang Yan exhorted Yi Yun. If an average person had talent in one type of weapon and they managed to go far using it, it would be impressive. Cang Yan had never heard of a person reaching the far extremes in the use of two different weapons!
“Can’t the way of the saber and sword be taken to the extreme together? Then the sword and saber tomb…”
Yi Yun suddenly realized that there was a possibility the sword and saber tombs were the works of a single person.
If that was true, to what extent did that person reach in his martial arts attainment?
Of course, Yi Yun did not say his thoughts, or Cang Yan might have an outburst. He obediently entered the saber tomb, but the thought of entering the sword tomb when he had the chance rooted itself deeply in Yi Yun’s mind…
…
At the same time as Yi Yun entered the saber tomb, Li Hong was meditating in an expensive cultivation room.
Swirls of Yuan Qi condensed into a visible flow before they entered Li Hong’s body.
With the inflow of Yuan Qi, Li Hong’s muscles began to swell up like waves.
Li Hong clenched his fists. He wanted to use the cultivation from that night to push his condition to its highest point. At the same time, he also tried to consolidate his soon-to-be Yuan foundation cultivation level.
Li Hong had several speculations about Yi Yun’s hidden strength.
There was no way Yi Yun could hide his cultivation level. He was definitely at the peak of the middle-stages of Purple Blood. A person who had their Heaven’s Eye opened had looked into it for him.
It was also impossible for Yi Yun to have an Aspect Totem as he never went into the wilderness to hunt desolate beasts.
Yi Yun might have hidden his cultivation techniques or laws, but with the insight of a Purple Blood realm warrior, it was definitely not going to be a heaven defying thing.
Li Hong had even envisioned that even if Chu Xiaoran’s understanding of the laws had been implanted in Yi Yun’s body, Yi Yun was still not his match.
Taking a step back, he considered the possibility of Yi Yun having secretly learned a powerful cultivation technique. But even if Yi Yun were to learn something like the ‘Star Picking Hand’ or secret techniques that belonged to a duke-class family, Li Hong still believed that he could beat Yi Yun!
Furthermore, with Yi Yun’s background, where could he obtain a cultivation technique that was at the duke-class level?
No matter how much he calculated or envisioned it, this battle was a sure-win!
