97 Three Swift Strikes

All the disciples left the Grotto-Heaven Pavilion.

Yan Jin was dragged away by his brother, Xue Feng. Liu Qiyue needed to head to her other master’s place for cultivation.

Supremacy was the master of all Archean Mountain disciples that were admitted in the past three hundred years. He only gave simple guidance to his disciples during the lectures. The disciples had to search for the true direction in their cultivation by themselves! And if they were lucky, other Godfiends would accept them as disciples. For example, there were quite a number of disciples on Archean Mountain who took in Marquis Godfiends or Regis Godfiends as masters.

Liu Qiyue’s other master was Marquis Godfiend, Marquis Heavenstar. His archery skills were enough to threaten a Regis Godfiend. He was a master specially arranged for Liu Qiyue by Archean Mountain.

…

Many people had seen Gallant Steeds—his father, the clan Elders, Liu Qiyue, Yun Qingping, and many others.

“Having an inborn Essence Soul is extremely rare. According to what I know, there have only been three instances in human history for someone to have inborn Essence Souls. Their father or mother must have reached the Creation realm, and they have to pass a portion of their condensed strength to their child. Only then, can a baby have an inborn Essence Soul,” said the long-haired man with a smile. “Your parents are very weak. They are too far from the Creation realm. Clearly, it’s impossible for them to pass their power to you.

“There’s only one possibility. You’re at such a high realm at the Dao of painting and reached the state of the Dao and can seek answers from your inner self. That’s how you condensed an Essence Soul as a mortal.”

The long-haired man smiled at Meng Chuan. “Am I right?”

Meng Chuan was shocked. Before he could say anything, the other party had guessed that he had condensed an Essence Soul through painting.

“Master, you are truly wise,” said Meng Chuan respectfully.

“Not at all. I can sense your Essence Soul at a glance, so I guessed it,” said the long-haired man with a smile. “In human history, other than the three infants who relied on their parents’ power, the rest formed Essence Souls through external help.

“They were either good at playing the zither, painting, calligraphy, and even blacksmithing. Once their skills reach a certain point, they can reach the Dao Seeking state. Every time they seek answers from their inner self, their heart and mind will undergo a transformation. Their souls will also undergo a transformation,” said the long-haired man. “However, it’s too difficult for people to attain the Dao through extracurricular skills. It’s too rare.

“We’ve tried grooming such people, but it was useless! It’s impossible to groom a truly-skilled artist. Even if one becomes a top artist at the age of seventy or eighty, it’ll be too late,” said the long-haired man. “Furthermore, wasting too much time on these extracurricular skills will affect their cultivation in weapon techniques.

“Seeking answers from one’s inner self is very rare. Therefore, it’s extremely difficult to improve one’s Essence Soul,” said the long-haired man. “Essence Souls are related to the Darkstar, Incessant, and the Creation realm. Essence Souls represent your potential. Therefore, the secret of condensing an Essence Soul needs to be kept a secret. If the demons learn that you’ve condensed an Essence Soul as a mortal, demon monarchs will definitely attempt to assassinate you.”

“I understand,” said Meng Chuan respectfully.

There were demon monarchs lurking in the world. For example, when the city passes were breached, there were demon monarchs who charged in. Many of them even remained hiding in the human world. Even if humans retook back the city pass, it would be difficult to find those hidden demon monarchs.

There were also unstable World Entrances that allowed demon monarchs to infiltrate the human race.

How did the Skydemon Sect form? It was established by infiltrating demon monarchs that tempted humans into betrayal.

These lurking demon monarchs would seek out critical moments to make trouble. The threat they posed was extremely great.

“You don’t have to worry,” said the long-haired man with a smile. “As long as you don’t use the power of your Essence Soul, no one will be able to tell that you have condensed an Essence Soul unless they’re at the Creation realm.

“Marquis and Regis Godfiends might discover your Essence Soul if you use its power. However, as long as you are more than a thousand feet away from them, they won’t be able to discover it,” said the long-haired man.

Meng Chuan calmed down.

He understood. He didn’t need to worry about using the power of his Essence Soul when he was more than a thousand feet from a Regis Godfiend.

“The World Roving Dragon Saber is extremely fast and bizarre to the extreme. You have a 50% compatibility with it.

“The Heart Intent Saber is an even purer form of the swift saber. It has a 90% compatibility with you.”
