Bab 306: Chapter 306: Chen Xin
...
In the following days, Zeng Yi would seek help from Chen Xin every day, using his Seven Kill Domain to assist his cultivation.
Zeng Yi's current strength still needed further improvement. Relying solely on regular swordsmanship practice would no longer provide significant progress. This was because Zeng Yi had already reached a bottleneck in his swordsmanship realm. If he wanted a breakthrough, he could only rely on enlightenment and wait for an opportunity to naturally enter that mysterious realm.
Of course, increasing his spirit power would also bring great improvements to Zeng Yi. However, this required time, and it was impossible to achieve significant spirit power improvement in a short period unless Zeng Yi could obtain some kind of Immortal Herb.
There was a method for Zeng Yi to gain significant strength in a short period, which was to comprehend a domain and cultivate his unique domain of the sword, instead of relying on stolen and imperfect spirit skills.
Because Zeng Yi had never experienced a true domain, personally experiencing it was crucial for him to comprehend it.
His own master, Sword Douluo Chen Xin, was a powerful expert who possessed a domain. Since that was the case, Zeng Yi shamelessly pulled him over as his tool.
Initially, Chen Xin refused, considering this method too dangerous. However, under Zeng Yi's strong insistence, Chen Xin chose to trust him. After all, Chen Xin felt inadequate as Zeng Yi's master since Zeng Yi's current swordsmanship was all self-taught, and Chen Xin had not played much of a role in it. It was quite ridiculous for him to carry the title of Sword Douluo Chen Xin.
Therefore, after some consideration, Chen Xin believed that as a master, this was the only way he could help Zeng Yi's cultivation. So, he could only do his best to assist him.
Chen Xin trembled with fear as he witnessed Zeng Yi's nearly self-destructive cultivation, fearing that something might go wrong. But every time, Zeng Yi persisted resolutely.
Such a harsh training method allowed Zeng Yi to practice only once a day. It was not that he didn't want to do it more often, but his physical condition couldn't support continuous cultivation.
Under the suppression of Sword Douluo's Seven Kill Domain, Zeng Yi could only persist for a few minutes before his body would give up. Then his body needed a whole day to recover before continuing.
Zeng Yi's quick recovery was also thanks to his abnormal healing ability. The injuries and fatigue caused by training would mostly heal overnight, allowing him to continue practicing in the domain.
Initially, Zeng Yi could only barely endure under the suppression of the Seven Kill Domain, making it difficult for him to comprehend the mysteries of the domain. However, as time went on, his body became accustomed to the pain, enabling him to comprehend the profound powers of the Seven Kill Domain.
Under this cruel and tough training, Zeng Yi's spirit power also improved rapidly. Currently, his spirit power had already reached level 45.
At the peak of the Divine Sword Peak.
Chen Xin retracted his Seven Kill Domain and looked at Zeng Yi, who was still standing there, maintaining his clarity. He nodded approvingly with a satisfied smile on his face.
"It seems you are getting more accustomed. So, how is it going? Did you comprehend anything?" Chen Xin couldn't help but ask.
Zeng Yi nodded, but then shook his head weakly, saying with a weak breath "I have a feeling, but it is difficult to grasp. I can't find the way to enter that door; it feels like an insurmountable barrier."
Chen Xin nodded and comforted him "You are already doing well. At least you can touch upon the subtleties of the profound power. Many Spirit Masters spend their entire lives without reaching such a state. Even Spirit Saints and Spirit Douluos would find it difficult to comprehend. After all, this is a realm that can only be reached by Titled Douluos. For you, a Spirit Ancestor, to be able to comprehend it already surpasses countless others."
"Take a good rest now."
However, Zeng Yi was someone who couldn't stay idle. During his rest periods, he started conversing with Sword Douluo.
"Master, as a level 96 Titled Douluo, you are already at the pinnacle of power on this continent. Though there aren't many Titled Douluos, they are not few either. Master, in your opinion, how strong are you compared to other Titled Douluos?" Zeng Yi asked curiously.
Hearing that, Chen Xin couldn't help but burst into laughter, and with a casual demeanor, a sense of superiority exuded from him. "As far as I know, there are only about twenty Titled Douluos on this entire continent. As for myself, I won't say much except that there are only a handful of people stronger than me."
"Oh! Is that so? Seeing the aura you released, I thought you would say you are the strongest." Zeng Yi teased as he looked at Chen Xin.
Chen Xin shook his head and said calmly "I am confident in my own strength but not arrogant. Naturally, there are people stronger than me, but they are only a few. However, even against them, I am confident in a battle."
"Who are these three people?" Zeng Yi asked curiously.
Glancing at Zeng Yi and sensing his curiosity, Chen Xin pondered for a moment and said "Well, let me tell you. Eventually, you will find out anyway."
"It is widely known that there are several exceptional Martial Spirits that are unmatched. First, there is the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, renowned as the number one Beast Martial Spirit in the world. Second, there is the Clear Sky Hammer from the Clear Sky Sect, known as the number one Weapon Martial Spirit. Third, there is our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, an extraordinary auxiliary ability. These families with these three powerful Martial Spirits have evolved into the current top three sects, surpassing other forces in terms of overall strength.
However, do you think the Martial Spirits inherited by the Martial Spirit Hall, which is stronger than these three sects? No, they are even stronger. The Martial Spirit inherited by the Martial Spirit Hall is a Supreme grade Martial Spirit, the Six-winged Seraphim. Anyone awakened with this Martial Spirit has a innate spirit power level of twenty."
"So, the people stronger than you are from the Martial Spirit Hall, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, and the Clear Sky Sect?" Zeng Yi speculated.
Chen Xin laughed disdainfully, saying "Just the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect? I can chop that old dragon with a single sword."
"There are three individuals stronger than me: one from the Martial Spirit Hall, one from the Clear Sky Sect, and another is a mysterious spirit master from overseas."
"These three individuals have spirit power at level 99, the limit for a Titled Douluo, bordering the realm of gods." Chen Xin said these words, and a hint of imperceptible envy flashed in his eyes.
Surprised by this revelation, Zeng Yi asked "So they are the only ones who can defeat you? Does that mean Titled Douluos at level ninety-seven and ninety-eight are not your match?"
Seeing his disciple's surprised expression, Chen Xin couldn't help feeling a sense of pride. "Naturally, that's the case. Although the Clear Sky Hammer is known as the number one Weapon Martial Spirit, my Seven Kills Sword is no weaker than the Clear Sky Hammer. The Clear Sky Hammer possesses unrivaled strength, while my Seven Kills Sword has unmatched attack power. If it weren't for the rarity of the Seven Kills Sword Martial Spirit, its fame on the continent would not be so weak."
Speaking of this, Chen Xin sighed.
In Chen Xin's lifetime, he had only encountered three Spirit Masters possessing the Seven Kills Sword Martial Spirit: his grandfather, his father, and himself.
The Martial Spirit of their lineage was single-handedly passed down, the Seven Kills Sword.
Born into a prestigious sword clan, Chen Xin had been influenced by his father since childhood and had been obsessed with practicing swordsmanship. His unparalleled swordsmanship could overwhelm opponents of the same level, even fighting against higher-ranked Spirit Masters.
Speaking of Chen Xin's family, although they were not famous on the continent, every family member was an exceptional powerhouse. His grandfather was a level 98 Titled Douluo, and his father was a level 97 Titled Douluo, inheriting the prestigious Douluo lineage.
However, tragedy befell them one by one.
Chen Xin didn't know much about his grandfather's deeds, as his father had told him that his grandfather had gone missing in pursuit of a higher realm and never returned. But it was estimated that he had perished.
Chen Xin couldn't help but recall his childhood memories as he walked to the edge of a cliff, standing with his hands behind his back, gazing at the sea of clouds above, and calmly said "Before my father passed away, he told me not to carry the hatred and live. He said not to seek revenge because it was his own choice and losing the battle was merely a matter of skill."
Chen Xin's expression was calm, as if he was talking about an insignificant matter.
Although his father died at the hands of a Martial Spirit Hall expert, Chen Xin didn't harbor intense hatred towards the Martial Spirit Hall. At that time, his father and the Martial Spirit Hall had no enmity. His father wanted to challenge the person from the Martial Spirit Hall himself to advance his own realm and break through during their battle. But he failed, resulting in severe injuries and near-death.
Zeng Yi couldn't help but fall silent as a tinge of sadness pervaded their surroundings. Both of them fell into silence, and only a desolate breeze blew around them.
After a while, Zeng Yi slowly spoke "Master, do you want revenge?"
Chen Xin shook his head while facing away from Zeng Yi.
"Before my father passed away, he told me not to carry this hatred and to not live seeking revenge because it was his own choice, and losing the battle was just a matter of skill."
Chen Xin's expression was plain as if he was speaking about an insignificant matter.
Although his father died at the hands of the Martial Spirit Hall, Chen Xin didn't harbor intense hatred towards them. At that time, his father had no grudge with the Martial Spirit Hall. Instead, his father chose to challenge the person from the Martial Spirit Hall himself to pursue the ultimate realm of swordsmanship and break through during their battle. But he failed, suffering severe injuries and eventually passing away.
After his father's death, Chen Xin also embarked on a turbulent life. Due to his youthful recklessness, he offended a powerful force and was hunted for nearly ten years. After reaching his pinnacle, Chen Xin single-handedly eliminated that powerful force. From then on, the name Sword Douluo Chen Xin began to resonate throughout the continent.
But after that, Chen Xin seemed to disappear from the continent, and there were no more stories of him.
However, twenty years later, when Chen Xin's name resounded on the continent once again, he had already become a Titled Douluo.
During that time, Chen Xin did many things, such as being a fisherman, a farmer, learning blacksmithing and pottery. Time passed unnoticed, and when he looked back, Chen Xin realized that he had already cultivated to the realm of a Titled Douluo.
Afterward, he encountered Ning Fengzhi, who invited him to become his sworn brother, and Chen Xin followed Ning Fengzhi to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Chen Xin looked at his disciple and asked "Xiao Yi, the Six-winged Seraphim possesses divine power, shaking the world, and the Clear Sky Hammer can shatter the sky with strength. In the future, you may also face them. How do you think your sword compares to theirs?"
Zeng Yi looked at the Martial Spirit Ronin Sword in his hand, smiled confidently, and said without hesitation "It's not bad. With my sword, I can move mountains, calm seas, and break through the sky."
As Zeng Yi spoke, a sense of superiority emanated from him. Ronin Sword seemed to sense its owner's will and emitted a cold light as it trembled, making a melodious sound.
Chen Xin gazed at Zeng Yi's dark, profound eyes, and a slight smile appeared on his face.
"There is nothing that my sword cannot sever in this world."
Zeng Yi's determination made Chen Xin startled.
There is nothing a sword cannot sever.
Chen Xin widened his eyes as he looked at Zeng Yi, repeating his words softly. In his eyes, complex emotions flickered—shock, doubt, confusion, and finally, certainty.
"Hahaha!"
Finally, Chen Xin burst out laughing, lifting his head up and laughing out loud. His powerful sword intent soared into the sky, causing a gust of wind and creating a magnificent spectacle.
"Hahaha, well said! There is nothing a sword cannot sever!"
Chen Xin laughed heartily, tears streaming down his face. At this moment, he finally comprehended what his father had held when he challenged the limits of a level 99 Extreme Douluo.
Because, with his indomitable will, his sword was indeed the strongest!
Chen Xin laughed heartily because of Zeng Yi's words. His state of mind became clear and the seed buried in the ground began to stir, breaking through the predicament and seeing the warm and brilliant sunshine.
The bottleneck that had troubled Chen Xin for many years began to loosen at this moment.
