Chapter 71: Mission Assigned
erive deeper sword techniques based on a single sword technique."Now, my swordsmanship has improved so much compared to before. If I go all out, I wonder how many floors I could clear"Su Xin had a gli...After leaving the temple, Su Xin felt very happy.
He just won two consecutive gambling matches at the dojo. He not only severely taught that Jiang Yan a lesson, but also helped Duan Yunfeng get back his face. Most importantly, he won a total of seven thousand fire points in the gambling match.
Although Duan Yunfeng was later given 1300 points, there were still 5700 points left in hand.
He had already used up most of his ten thousand fire points before. He was worried that he wouldn't have enough fire points to continue in the following days, and he couldn't even enter the Trial Tower again. However, after these two gambling matches, his fire points were much more plentiful, even abundant enough for him to enter the Starry Hall once more.
"No rush, it's only been two months since I last went to the Starry Palace for enlightenment. According to Master Jiuxing, at least three months must pass before entering a second time. I have to wait another month," Su Xin thought secretly.
A month later, he entered the Starry Hall for the second time.
Still facing the nine stars, and still under the guidance of external forces, falling into a state of 'sudden enlightenment'.
This second enlightenment had obvious effects less profound than the first, yet Su Xin still managed to fully understand the essence of the fifth sword intent through it. He even gained considerable insight into the sixth and seventh types as well.
After that, Su Xin continued his cultivation.
Time flies.
It has already been half a year since Su Xin entered this Tianyan Palace. remember the URL
……
In the exquisite attic of Heavenly Flame Palace, Empress Yuegui, a woman of elegant bearing, sat serenely at a table, quietly brewing tea.
> Di Yue walked alone into the attic.
"Qingyang, why are you free today Come to me" The Empress of Diyue Palace was still brewing tea without raising her head.
"Just now, inside the dojo, I saw Xia Mang and Yuan Song's match. That Yuan Song has already comprehended the essence of five realms, while Xia Mang has only comprehended four. Yet, in the end, the two of them fought to a standstill" The headmaster of Qingyang Palace laughed, "Xia Mang's talent is truly extraordinary."
"The Lord of the Heavenly Moon Palace nodded slightly."
Of the group of talented individuals who entered Tiangyan Palace from the previous hunting expedition, Su Xin and Xia Mang were the most outstanding, with the highest talent. Duan Yunfeng ranked third in terms of natural ability.
Although Xia Mang was initially left far behind by Su Xin after half a year of cultivation, it was also because his initial fire point wasn't as abundant as Su Xin's and he hadn't received the guidance of the Nine Star Dao Lord like Su Xin.
Xia Mang used his treasures to exchange for a certain amount of Fire Points, and after learning thoroughly about the Heavenly Flame Palace, his rate of improvement began to accelerate.
He also went to the Starry Palace for a walk, and his artistic conception greatly improved.
After half a year, Xia Mang's comprehension of the essence of his cultivation had almost reached enlightenment for all five types. With his gun skills and some tricks, he could fully challenge those elders from Tianyan Palace head-on.
"Emperor Yue, since the group of geniuses who entered Heavenly Flame Palace after the last hunt have been cultivating inside for over half a year, according to custom, you should arrange individual training missions for them, right" The Lord of Qingyang Palace looked over.
"It is to be arranged, the Empress of Emperor Moon Palace nods her head."
Trials are a necessary part of every Heavenly Flame Palace disciple's journey.
Only after completing their trials can these disciples undertake the regular tasks issued by the Heavenly Flame Palace to earn fire points.
Like the current Tiangong Palace, except for Su Xin and their group of newly arrived disciples, most of the other disciples have obtained fire points by completing regular tasks.
“As far as I know, out of the ten new disciples who have just arrived, nine of them have already broken through to the Void Breaking Realm. Their training missions are quite simple; they just need to be arranged according to the usual standards. Only Su Xin… has yet to reach the peak of the Sea-Forming Realm. His training mission will likely be more troublesome,” said the Qingyang Palace Master.
"Well, what good suggestions do you have" The Lord of the Dìyué Palace looked at the Lord of the Qīngyáng Palace.
"I just got some intel, you can take a look. The head of the Qingyang Palace gave a note to the head of the Dìyuè Palace."
The Empress of Diyue Palace took it and glanced at it.
"Oh, Ice Heart Valley has opened again Are you sending him in to kill those guards" The Palace Master of Emperor Moon Palace raised an eyebrow.
"That's right. In the Bingxin Valley, the strong contenders generally only reach the early or middle stages of the Void-Breaking realm, while the late stage is extremely rare. As for the guards, they are merely puppets. With his strength, he could easily kill the master of Qingyang Palace."
"Well, your proposal is not bad. I'll consider it," the Emperor Yue Palace Master nodded.
Then, slowly consider it, Qingyang Palace Master smiled, turning and leaving.
After Qingyang Palace Lord left, Diyue Palace Lord's face immediately turned cold.
"This Qingyang is becoming more and more overbearing, even wanting to interfere with my own affairs." The Empress of Diyue Palace was deeply displeased.
The three Palace Masters of Tianyan Palace each have their own responsibilities, with each master overseeing different affairs.
Like Qingyang Palace Master, he was primarily responsible for recruiting disciples. This included the annual hunting grounds and whether certain gifted disciples would be given special recruitment quotas. He held ultimate authority on these matters. It was because of his previous opposition that Su Xin wasn't able to receive a special recruitment quota beforehand, and could only participate in the Imperial City Hunt and enter Tianyan Palace.
While the Empress Moon Palace Master is in charge of disciples' tasks.
Whether it was the training missions assigned to her disciples or the regular tasks within the palace that earned fire points, she decided and issued them all.
“Ice Heart Valley Hmph, you make it sound so easy. With Su Xin’s strength, he could certainly go there and fight those guards. However, Ice Heart Valley is full of the unknown. Those strong individuals who venture inside are completely unpredictable. Who knows if a powerful expert at the peak of the Void Breaking Realm might get bored and decide to run around in there” The Palace Master of Diyue Palace sneered.
The head of the Emperor Moon Palace even suspected that the head of Qingyang Palace had already prepared a trap inside Bingxin Valley, just waiting for Su Xin to jump in.
Otherwise, he had never cared about his disciples' tasks before, but today he took the initiative to come here and even gave himself advice. Could he possibly be so kind
"Qingyang, I warned you before. But if you still want to scheme against the disciples of my Tianyan Palace for your old master, then don't blame me for being impolite. " The Empress of Diyue Palace said with a cold face.
Soon, the head of Diyuezong personally wrote a letter and sent it out in an extremely veiled way.
……
Inside Tiangyan Palace.
"Xia Mang, this is the training mission arranged for you. Take a good look at it. If there's no problem, leave as soon as possible."
"Xia Mang nodded.
"
"Duan Yunfeng, this is your training mission
"Mo Bing…"
The Empress of the Imperial Moon Palace found the group of talented individuals who had entered the Heavenly Fire Palace from the previous hunting expedition. On the same day, she assigned each of them their respective training missions.
After arranging the nine people in succession, Di Yue Gong Zhu finally found Su Xin.
Empress Yue Palace Master
Su Xin stood before the Empress of Diyue Palace, performing a respectful bow.
Looking at Su Xin before him, the master of Diyue Palace, Liu Mei, slightly frowned.
"Su Xin, I asked the Master of Jiucheng Dao, and he said that in terms of comprehension of realms, you should have already comprehended six essences. With such a high level of comprehension, logically speaking, you should have been able to break through to the Po Xu realm long ago. But why are you still at the peak of the Hua Hai realm" The Palace Master of Di Yue asked.
Those who just entered the Tiyan Palace, in this superior cultivation environment of the Tiyan Palace, could easily break through to the Void Breaking Realm.
Like Su Xin and his group of ten geniuses, including Xia Mang and Duan Yunfeng, all nine geniuses had already broken through to the Void Realm one after another not long ago.
Just Su Xin, he is only at the peak of the Profound Sea.
"This... I don't know what's going on either. Su Xin smiled wryly."
The spiritual energy of Tianyan Palace is far more concentrated than the outside world. He also has bloodline inheritance techniques, so his cultivation speed is indeed very fast.
After less than a month of cultivation within the Heavenly Flame Palace, he successfully broke through to the peak of the Sea Formation Realm. Although his cultivation level had reached the pinnacle of the Sea Formation Realm in these six months, he had failed to break through to the Void Breaking Realm. However, his understanding of the Dao was so profound that according to reason, he should have already met the requirements for a breakthrough.
Su Xin also suspected that perhaps because of his bloodline, the conditions for breaking through to the Xu Void realm were more demanding than for ordinary people.
"Enough, even though your cultivation hasn't broken through yet, according to the rules of Tianyan Palace, I still have to give you a training mission, and the difficulty of this training mission will not be lower than Xia Mang, Duan Yunfeng and their training missions."
"I understand." Su Xin nodded, unconcerned.
In terms of cultivation, Xia Mang and Duan Yunfeng are indeed higher than he is now. However, in terms of strength, to be honest, these two people combined probably aren't his opponents now.
With a wave of her hand, the mistress of Dìyuè Palace threw three scrolls towards Su Xìn.
"Your trials, in total are divided into three stages.
"
"I suggest you complete the first stage mission first, then open the second scroll to view the content of the second stage mission
"
Also, remember that the training mission assigned by Tianyan Palace to its disciples is only once, and the rewards for completing the mission are very high. Therefore, you must try your best to complete the mission, and the higher the completion rate, the better.
"Su Xin nodded."
He had long heard that the training missions assigned by Tianyan Palace to its disciples offered high fire point rewards, far exceeding those of regular missions.
This is also a rare opportunity for those disciples to obtain a large amount of fire points after entering the Tianyan Palace.
This opportunity is a one-time chance for each disciple.
If it's missed, then it's gone.
"Prepare well."
The Empress of Diyue Palace finished speaking and then left directly.
And Su Xin looked at the three mission scrolls in his hand, but his eyes released a strong gleam.
"The training mission, it's finally here!"
Su Xin has been looking forward to this for a long time.
Over half a year of cultivation, he had almost used up all the fire points he had obtained before, including those won from gambling matches. This trial mission was a great opportunity for him to earn more fire points.
Soon, Su Xin returned to the Trial Tower.
“Set the opponent: Sword Intent Comprehension Level 1, comprehend the seven essences of sword intent.
”
"Number of opponents: Three!"
In a mere instant, three black figures who were masters of swordsmanship and had each comprehended the essence of seven sword intents appeared simultaneously within the Trial Tower.
The three black figures simultaneously attacked, besieging Su Xin.
Su Xin stood alone with his sword, wielding his swordsmanship to fight back.
"A bad dream!"
Dawn!
"A flash in the pan!"
Su Xin wielded the Flying Snow Sword Technique to its peak, a series of sword lights slashing out one after another.
Even facing three opponents who had comprehended the essence of the Seven Sword Intents, he was able to hold his own for a short period of time.
In half a year, with two immersions in the Starry Palace, his progress was truly remarkable.
And just how strong he is now, only he himself knows.
Like Master Jiucheng Dao, when he taught classes, he heard Su Xin's questions and guessed that Su Xin should have comprehended the essence of the six sword intents. However, he didn't know... Three days ago, Su Xin had already comprehended the essence of the seventh sword intent as well.
He is only two kinds of sword intent essences away from the second level of sword intent.
……
A night of intense fighting.
Su Xin's battle was incredibly intense, and it wasn't until the next morning that he returned to his residence, took a bath, and had a good night's sleep.
When day broke, Su Xin set off and hurried toward the location of his training mission.e head of the family has been in seclusion for many years, especially after hearing about your death over a year ago, he locked himself in his room for a long time. Now that you have returned safely,...
