Chapter 11: Immortal Scripture Repository
Within the unknown space appeared three figures, two of them were blurry and only the central figure had distinct and recognizable features. And surrounding the three figures was the primordial universe with numerous clouds of myriad colors.
This was the inner world of Tianyi where he cultivated the Three Pure True Self Visualization Technique.
Compared to before there was a noticeable change this time. Although the two figures were still blurry the Emperor had gained a flesh color skin tone like a thin layer of paint had been added. His hair now had a translucent black color above the stone colored hair. But what changed the most were the pupils, they now radiated a golden color that seemed to pierce through all.
When Tianyi had trained in the Three Pure True Self Visualization technique after absorbing the blood essence the changes had already occurred. Tianyi further confirmed the fact that the three figure were connected to him deeply.
When Tianyi exited his inner world, his pupils flashed with golden light like the emperor's before it quickly disappeared.
"Hell, this is really boring. Cultivating day in and day out, if I cultivate any more I'm going to have mold growing on me!" Tianyi said as he stood up from the Immortal Lotus Throne. With a simple leap without using any spiritual qi, Tianyi leapt out of the Jade Lotus Clear Pond.
His martial cultivation has already reached the stage where he was able to leap a hundred meters without using spiritual qi at all. After absorbing the blood essence Tianyi spent countless days cultivating the Dragon Emperor Fist, it was not that he was extremely dedicated to the Dragon Emperor Fist, but the blood introduced into his body was saturating his body with unneeded excess qi.
If Tianyi didn't cultivate and use the excess energy it would eventually accumulate in his body before detonating. In other words Tianyi was a walking bomb that could go off anytime.
After completing the Tendon Reinforcement stage and entering the Bone Refinement Stage, Tianyi could finally relax. Although there was still an excessive amount of energy, it wouldn't be to the point where he had to cultivate all day in order to not waste it or have his mother help him extract the energy.
But now Tianyi finally had time! Tianyi stepped on his flying sword and flew to the Immortal Scripture Repository. There Tianyi saw numerous elders and disciples outside and milling about.
As the Immortal Scripture Repository contained numerous cultivation manuals, techniques, and weapon arts it was one of the busiest place in the whole Buzhou Immortal Sect and aside from a few secret manuals, techniques, or arts that were held in the hands of the Grand Elder and the Sect Master, it could be said that all the knowledge of the Buzhou Immortal Sect was concentrated here.
The Immortal Scripture Repository was a pagoda with nine floors and was surrounded by massive amounts of formation both to maintain and protect it.
Tianyi moved past the numerous disciples, ignoring their inquiring gaze and showed his jade token to the two guarding Earth Immortals who nodded and allowed him entrance.
"Although you have Grand Empress Xi's token, you are still only a Foundation Establishment Cultivator. You can only access the third level."
Tianyi bowed in thanks before entering the Immortal Scripture Repository. As soon as Tianyi entered his eyes were greeted by the sight of numerous shelves packed full of books and protected by numerous formations to prevent theft and protect the books themselves.
Although Tianyi was a disciple of the Buzhou Immortal Sect, he had actually not visited the Immortal Scripture Repository all that much, all his cultivation techniques had been given to him directly by his mother so he had not really seen the need to visit.
The sword art he cultivated in, the Heartless Sword Art created by his mother, was superior to at least all the other sword arts in the Immortal Scripture Repository and probably only those on the highest and ninth level could compare. As the self created sword art of the Heartless Sword Arts, his mother had full control of who could and who couldn't be taught.
Tianyi was the only person in all the Huang Realm that knew the Heartless Sword aside from his mother, Sword Empress Xi.
Tianyi's interest was piqued as he read the names of one of the books. "Supreme Domination Art? Looks interesting."
However after flipping a few pages Tianyi immediately shut the book closed and returned it to the shelf, his face completely black. "Goddammit, what kind of name is Supreme Domination Art?"
The Supreme Cultivation Art was a dual cultivation technique, and not one that only needed two people to cultivate at once. They needed to have sex at the same time, and if that was it Tianyi wouldn't have minded so much but it required the user to be in a orgy. The larger the better.
Tianyi lost interest in the first level and moved all the way to the third level, which corresponded to the Core Formation realm.
The first level had manuals that were in Qi Gathering realm.
The second level had manuals that were in the Foundation Establishment realm and the corresponding Qi Gathering realm manuals.
Tianyi naturally heard these words, although he was unwilling he was quite helpless at his own childish looks. He could only hope the years would go faster and that he would grow faster.
"Senior brother, I have heard that you are a genius of the sword. My master told me that I need to spar with others in order to increase my understanding of the sword. Might I request a spar?" Sima Ming said as he cupped his head.
Tianyi however remained expressionless. This guy, asking a spar in front of all these people. Does he want to use me as a stepping stone? No, probably not. I hardly leave Jade Peak and he must have seen me so he jumped at the chance to request a spar. Although calling me a genius of the sword...I think it's just because my sword art was personally taught to me by my mother. Although I like the sword I don't feel like I have any true genius in it. Talent, yes. Genius, no.
"Since brother Sima has already said this much, I'll accept." Tianyi and Sima Ming moved to an open area close to the Immortal Scripture Repository and they both drew their swords.
"Please do not laugh at my meager skills." Tianyi said,
"Please advise." Sima Ming said.
Sima Ming struck first as he made a piercing move that resembled a meteor. Tianyi naturally reacted in a quick manner and tilted his sword so the flat of the sword made Sima Ming's sword slide off to the side, deflecting the strike before countering with a simple slash.
Sima Ying frowned. His strike had been redirected and thus his momentum was kept and if he followed the momentum he was just delivering his body to be chopped. Even if Tianyi's sword didn't move, Sima Ying would just present himself to be injured.
He gritted his teeth and circulated his qi and jumped over the sword strike. Tianyi leisurely turned around to look at Sima Ying.
This spar could be considered competition to compare their sword skills and that counterattack had already forced him to use his qi, making him lose the spar.
"Senior brother Xi's skills have really impressed me, catching me off guard."
Tianyi quirked his brows, Is this guy saying that I won only because I surprised him? Nevermind, although his sword strike is fast, the Heartless Sword's foundation is actually a formation. At the pinnacle of formation, it is said a separate world can be formed. Although I only have reached initial success in the Heartless Sword, this is more than enough to beat Sima Ying and his Sirius Sword Arts.
Thus Tianyi made a "please go on" gesture and allowed his sword to relax at his side.
However Sima Ying was already thinking through numerous calculations. That sword strike that Xi Tianyi used to deflect and strike back, although it seems to be full of holes it perfectly countered my strike. It's impossible for the Heartless Sword Arts to have a specialized move to counter the Sirius Sword Art's Meteor Star Strike. Was it a coincidence or...
Although the Heartless Sword was famed under all heavens, but those who have faced have either already fallen under its sword strikes or only those of immortal realm have knowledge concerning the exact details of the Heartless Sword Arts and thus not many people actually knew much about it except that its the famed number one sword arts.
This time Sima Ying started off with a few moves that were not fully committed, just as easily as he struck he could just as easily pull back. But Tianyi's moves were like a steel wall allowing none of his moves to even make a dent in Tianyi's defense.
Tianyi seeing that they were not making progress with how careful Sima Ying was, he stepped forward. Instantly Sima Ying felt that the number of swords strikes increased fourfold, like Tianyi held four swords instead of one.
The closer you were to a user of the Heartless Sword more the embroiled you were in their domain. Sima Ying felt his back become drenched in cold sweat as he felt sword strikes coming from his side even though Tianyi was in front of him, he could even see the strikes surrounding him from all sides.
He gritted his teeth and his body seemed to become ethereal yet solid. He suddenly appeared behind Tianyi and struck out eight times. This was the Canis Eight Star Sword Strikes, you can see but not touch me, but I can still hit you!
Tianyi didn't turn around and Sima Ying felt his spirit become elated. Although he had not mastered the move and it would cause him internal injuries, but to defeat the son of Sword Empress Xi, it was all worth it.
But Sima Ying suddenly stop in cold sweat. Without him noticing and without Tianyi turning around, the tip of Tianyi's sword was already only a hair's breadth away from Sima Ying's adam's apple before he even noticed. Had he stepped two more steps, he would've pierced himself on Tianyi's sword.
"I lost."
Sima Ying collapsed onto the ground, his confidence broken.
"Had you not have used that last move and showed so many openings, you would have not lost as quickly."
Tianyi said as he sheathed his sword and clasped his hands behind his back. He looked from high above at the kneeling Sima Ying.
"Thanking senior brother Xi for this guidance."
I always wanted to act like an expert and be cool. I can already hear the crowd's admiration! Although I beat up Sima Ying, the elder behind him won't find trouble for me right?
