The Devilish Immortal

Chapter 29 The Fusion of Sword Styles

Chapter 29 The Fusion of Sword Styles

Lyu Liang chatted with Yu Jun and others more than a half day until they had to part with each other and farewell reluctantly. Back to the cave residence, Lyu Liang’s heart could not be calm for a long time. Sishui Country, a country that he could not even go when his strength was not strong enough, had the sect he hated the most and the family which was the most intimate of him.

Lyu Xinyun, the girl of Lyu family, should be seen as the younger sister of Lyu Liang, unfortunately, she was soon about to go to the Xuan Nyu Sect. “Sigh! There is still plenty of time! I’d better find a way to improve my strength first, or I have to be skulk and hide always.” Lyu Liang thought melancholily for a while and then held back the idea of knowing Lyu family.

In the next two months, Lyu Liang focused his energies on cultivation. During the day, he mainly practiced the Mind Mantra and the swordsmanship, and at night, with the help of Blackie, he practiced the Devil Reshaping Technique. Those upper grades and ultimate grades Foundation Establishment medicinal pills that refined previously came in handy.

Lyu Liang basically took the medicinal pills at the rate of one pill every three days. While he was taking medicinal pills, he was practicing cultivation. With the cooperation of Foundation Establishment medicinal pills, Lyu Liang felt that his cultivation was rising rapidly. It was estimated that he could touch the threshold of the Middle-stage of the Foundation Establishment!

Not everyone could take the Foundation Establishment medicinal pills as candies like Lyu Liang. Even in the Sword Character Immortal Palace, every disciple during Foundation Establishment period could have only one Foundation Establishment medicinal pill a month, and in terms of its quality, it was only a mid-grade one. Only those who can be called genius disciples might be given the upper-grade Foundation Establishment medicinal pills. Besides, don’t even think about the ultimate grade pill, it was said that the quality of the furnace in the Immortal Palace was not enough to make that.

Lyu Liang also made an appointment with Zhang Ran and the old man that they would get together in the herb garden every ten days. After eating and drinking gluttonously last time, both he and Zhang Ran lingered on the taste of worldly food. So they told the old man to make that kind of meals every ten days. As for the cost of purchasing food materials, the old man originally asked them not to worry about it because he had the means to do such a meal with only two lower grade Primordial Stones. However, Lyu Liang and Zhang Ran insisted to give the old man ten lower grade Primordial Stones, saying that those are the monthly cost of the meal.

At the end of a month, Giant Tiger came back. Without seeing each other for a month, this guy became the Middle-stage of the Great Demon beast unexpectedly and that both surprised and delighted Lyu Liang. Giant Tiger came back just in time for the big meal in the herb garden, thus Lyu Liang took him to the garden to celebrate for his coming back.

That was good now, the originally quite lively herb garden became more lively. Giant Tiger was not relaxed enough at the beginning, after all, there were two strange Human Clan cultivators present. But after the old man forced it to drink a little of the wine out of nowhere, the eyes of Giant Tiger brightened!

After the drink, Giant Tiger became more relaxed, but he was smart enough to get the food to the side to eat and not participate in the chat! After finishing the meal, they said goodbyes to each other. The old man quietly tucked at the corners of Lyu Liang’s clothes, whispered against his ears and said, “I had prepared a month’s worth of food, but we ate all of it in one meal today...”

When they were back in the cave residence, Giant Tiger told the purpose of this visit, and at the same time, he put a burden on the table. When the burden was opened, there was a long sword shining with blue light, three Bottleneck-breaking Pills, more than a dozen Foundation Establishment Pills, and more than 20 mid-grade Primordial Stones.

Giant Tiger explained that these things were sorted out from the trial field, the cave residences used to belong to its former brothers. These were the only things that could be seen as treasures.

The sword of them was still unowned. Lyu Liang could tell at a glance that this was not a low-grade magic treasure. In terms of quality, it and Feiling sword were a bit comparable. That was to say, it should be a magic treasure of Nascent Soul period at least. Since the sword had no name, Lyu Liang simply named it the blue light sword. Then, Lyu Liang cut his finger and left his blood on the sword. Finally, he claimed the sword and put it in his bags.

Putting down these things, Giant Tiger went away. Lyu Liang began to cultivate again.

With the comprehension of the last deadly battle, the teach from Hunyuan Sword Immortal, and the one Foundation Establishment Pill every three days, two months later, Lyu Liang broke through to the Middle-stage fo the Foundation Establishment successfully. At the same time, relying on the six Red Body-refining Fruit, his Devil Reshaping Technique had also been successfully cultivated to the fourth level. As for the swordsmanship, the third level of Water-forging Move in the Xuanyuan Swordsmanship had been somewhat successful.

When Lyu Liang consolidated the Water-forging Move repeatedly, the scene of fighting with Zhao Tianding in the trial field on that day occurred to him. At that time, Lyu Liang inspired Joyful Sword Essence with Devil Qi and the Primordial Qi and Devil Qi in his body, and they seemed to merge into a more powerful aura, leading to a sharp increase in the sword power.

Lyu Liang also thought of the later scene of him against the three Great Demon Beasts. The giant snake was going to kill Li Zidao, the Giant Tiger and the giant ape were preparing to attack Lyu Liang. In the moment of desperation, Lyu Liang used the Unification Move of Xuanyuan Swordsmanship and the Joyful Sword Essence of Heart Swordsmanship Move at the same time without thinking. In retrospect, there seemed to be a curious connection between the two moves.

Thinking of this, Lyu Liang felt refreshed and a trace of enlightenment seemed to rise in his mind, “Fusion! Yes, it’s the fusion! Xuanyuan Swordsmanship is faster, Heart Swordsmanship is more powerful. If I fuse them together, I can have both the speed and the power!”

Thinking of this, Lyu Liang’s mind suddenly became clear, and the five moves of swordsmanship he could use now kept flashing in his mind. Streaks of Sword Qi diffused around Lyu Liang’s body. Sometimes the Sword Qi settled into a sharp blade, sometimes it turned into a sword flower, sometimes it gathered into a huge sword.

During full ten days, Lyu Liang remained motionless like an old monk. No matter it was day or night, his body was always surrounded by layers of Sword Qi. Originally, Zhang Ran wanted to visit his cave residence to take him to the big meal together as usual. However, when he came within fifty feet of the Lyu Liang’s cave residence, he suddenly realized, and then shook his head with a smile, and went to the herb garden alone.

On the eleventh day, those white foggy Sword Qi around Lyu Liang’s body began to be mixed with black air. Six hours later, all Sword Qi became black, and a powerful Devil Qi also began swirling around Lyu Liang’s body. Lyu Liang’s slightly tightened his brows. He knew that the leaked of Devil Qi might cause unnecessary trouble, but he really didn’t want to stop now as he had arrived at the key step of the fusion.

“Lyu Liang, stay focused, I’ll create a Bounded Domain that can isolation Divine Sense!” Blackie said timely and quickly calmed down Lyu Liang.

On the sixteenth day, the Sword Qi around Lyu Liang’s body became black for a while and white for another while. If Blackie removed the Bounded Domain, people would be surprised to find that the aura that Lyu Liang sent out now was neither like Primordial Qi, nor like Devil Qi, but it was more solid and powerful than releasing only the Primordial Qi or the Devil Qi.

On the twentieth day, the Sword Qi had turned gray. Lyu Liang could fell that the Sea of Qi and Magic Core in his body were both running at a high speed. At the moment, Primordial Qi and Devil Qi seemed to be a little inadequate! At the critical moment, Lyu Liang didn’t hesitate and sent ten mid grade Primordial Stone flying out from Interspatial Bracelet to surround himself directly. Then, conspicuous Primordial Qi streaked from the Primordial Stone into Lyu Liang’s body.

At the same time, Shadow-devil Domain was inspired. Pure True Devil Qi injected into Magic Core of Lyu Liang’s body. Shadow-devil Domain was maintained by Divine Sense, Divine Sense was maintained by Primordial Qi, and Primordial Qi was supplemented by those outer Primordial Stones. In this nearly perfect cycle, a sharp Sword Essence burst out from Lyu Liang’s body.

On the twenty-third day, the gray Sword Qi around Lyu Liang’s body began to change. It was no longer a single shape, but a combination of a giant sword, sword flower, and sword blade. At the same time, Feiling Sword and the blue light sword suddenly appear from Void. After more than twenty days during which Lyu Liang stay motionless, he finally made a move!

With blue light sword in his left hand, and Feiling Sword in his right hand, Lyu Liang used Unification Move, Wind-dodging Move, and Water-forging Move continuously. Gradually, the figure of Lyu Liang couldn’t be seen in the cave residence, only dazzling sword light and sharp Sword Qi in the room.

On the twenty-fifth day, the present Lyu Liang, because of the perfect combination of Primordial Qi and Devil Qi, had a brand new aura around him. Blackie also removed the Shadow-devil Domain, because Lyu Liang was going to use all his Divine Sense on manipulating the sword styles and Sword Essence.

“Lyu Liang, my the Divine Sense Bounded Domain for isolation could only isolate others probe from outside, but your aura now is too strong that I couldn’t bear this kind of pressure from inside. So I think the Bounded Domain is going to break. Fortunately, you don’t need to worry about the erupting of Devil Qi. So take care of yourself.” Blackie’s words rang inside Lyu Liang’s mind, however, Lyu Liang couldn’t hear anything now.

At the moment, Lyu Liang had come into a realm where human and nature were united, which was a very wonderful feeling! Lyu Liang felt like a sword and everything around him seemed to be under his control. Now, Lyu Liang felt the Sword Qi and Sword Essence around him had reached a limit, and there could be no more breakthrough. He also knew that his cultivation was too low, which strengthened his determination to enhance his strength!

In the dark night, the quiet back mountain suddenly erupted into a roar, and shaking even the ground hundreds of feet away. In the cave residence area of the front mountain, many disciples of Immortal Palace went out to stare at the back mountain from afar and seemed to want to see something. If not for the rule that banned them from going to the back mountain in the evening, a lot of them must be flying directly to the back mountain.

If any disciple with strong Divine Sense looked into it, he would find that somewhere in the cave residence area of the back mountain, in a range of about twenty feet, dense Sword Qi was around a human figure. Among the giant sword phantom, countless sword flowers and dazzling sword blade were flickering.

After 30 minutes, Sword Qi dispersed slowly, revealing Lyu Liang’s distressed figure. At that time, his clothes were tattered, his body was covered with ashes, and his originally fancy cave residence now became only a pile of rubble ruins.

Among the watching disciples, Zhao Tianding’s eyes were shining and then he smiled happily.

“Aww! Aww!” Cultivating in the demon stone cave of the trial field, Giant Tiger’s eyelid suddenly jumped and then it roared out of joy.

In a pavilion by the water near the main hall of the Immortal Palace, a young man in cyan, waving a small fan, smiled to his two companions, a man and a woman, and said, “Well, if I hadn’t suggested that we come here at night to admire the moon, how could we see such an interesting scene? Xinyun, this relative of yours doesn’t seem to be ordinary!”

In the herb garden of the back mountain, the sleepy old man lifted his eyelids and grumbled in a small voice. “Such a genius, he could touch the edge of the domain with such low cultivation? Mengzu must be very happy, isn’t he?”
