Although Meng Fan only said half of his words, Elder Lin could easily guess the rest. He glared fiercely at Meng Fan and said irritably, "What nonsense are you thinking?

Your master and the Sect Master are close friends. How could I do such a thing?

Back then, the reason this opportunity fell to me was because the Sect Master went out for training when he was at the seventh or eighth level of the Condensation Pill Realm.

During his training, he had some fortuitous encounters and entered a secret realm.

Because the Sect Master was exceptionally talented, a few years later, when he returned to Shu Mountain, not only had he broken through to the Summoning God Realm, but he had also directly surpassed it, reaching the Primordial Spirit Realm.

Who would have thought that a single training session would allow him to leap across an entire realm, advancing from the Condensation Pill Realm to the Primordial Spirit Realm?

Since he had already achieved the Primordial Spirit, the Primordial Spirit Hall was of no use to him, so the opportunity naturally fell to me.

To be honest, I did benefit from it."

After saying this, Elder Lin's face showed a hint of helplessness.

It was true that he gained an advantage, but it couldn't be said that he stole the Sect Master's opportunity. After all, everyone has their own fate and destiny.

Back then, Elder Lin did feel a bit guilty, feeling he had taken advantage of the Sect Master.

But now, having reached his current realm, he had long since come to terms with everything.

This is fate.

There's no right or wrong about it.

Moreover, even though he gained the opportunity from the Primordial Spirit Hall, he was still left behind by the Sect Master.

He just couldn't compare!

This too is fate.

"The Sect Master truly lives up to his title. One training session outside the mountain, and he directly broke through from the Condensation Pill Realm to the Primordial Spirit Realm. Such a fortuitous encounter is truly enviable," Meng Fan couldn't help but say with envy.

After a pause, a flash of inspiration struck him.

"Master, I'm now at the sixth level of the Condensation Pill Realm, not much different from the Sect Master's cultivation back then.

Do you know where the Sect Master went to gain his opportunity? Perhaps I could try my luck too?

Who knows, I might obtain the same opportunity as the Sect Master.

By then, I could also return as a cultivator of the Primordial Spirit Realm."

Meng Fan thought happily.

Elder Lin rolled his eyes and said, "Get lost. I'm not the Sect Master, how would I know what fortuitous encounters he had back then? If you had such an encounter, would you go around shouting it to the world?"

Meng Fan thought about it and realized it made sense. If he had such an encounter, he would definitely keep it a secret and not tell others.

Unfortunately, the Sect Master is not at the Shu Mountain Sword Sect now; he's gone to the Monster Realm.

Otherwise, he would at least try to ask the Sect Master what opportunity he had back then.

What if the Sect Master was willing to tell him?

Though the possibility was low, trying wouldn't hurt, at most he'd get scolded by the Sect Master.

But with the Sect Master not around, he had no chance to try even if he wanted to.

Moments later, Meng Fan left Elder Lin on the second floor of the Sword Pavilion and returned to his room.

Hong Qi, Shu Changsheng, Senior Disciple Luo, and Wu Tian all came to visit Meng Fan with great concern.

After all, Meng Fan's screams throughout the day and night were truly heart-wrenching.

It wouldn't be right not to check on him.

Hong Qi, Shu Changsheng, and Senior Disciple Luo were genuinely concerned about Meng Fan.

Wu Tian, although he appeared full of concern, had a hint of schadenfreude in his eyes.

To this, Meng Fan could only roll his eyes, too lazy to argue with Wu Tian.

However, he couldn't help but wonder if he should trick Wu Tian into cultivating another type of True Essence and then try to fuse them.

To be fair, it was indeed beneficial as it could enhance the strength of True Essence.

As a senior brother, Meng Fan was only thinking of his junior brother Wu Tian's well-being!

After the four left, Meng Fan finally had time to study the new version of True Essence within him.

It was a fusion of the attributes of thunder, wind, fire, and demon.

He began to cultivate quietly, using the Primordial Scripture taught by Elder Lin.

This Primordial Scripture, while not the strongest, was certainly not weak either!

It was an extremely mysterious technique.

In terms of sheer power, it wasn't as strong as the Pure Yang Thunder Cultivation Scripture.

But when Meng Fan cultivated it, he felt an inexplicable sense of profoundness.

Moments later, Meng Fan opened his eyes and stopped cultivating.

His first experience cultivating the Primordial Scripture felt surprisingly good, with an indescribable sense of harmony.

Cultivating it felt very comfortable, a feeling he hadn't experienced with the Pure Yang Thunder Cultivation Scripture, the Spirit Wind Profound Art, or the True Scripture of Scarlet Blood.

"All the suffering of the past day and night was worth it!" Meng Fan smiled slightly.

No wonder the ancients said, 'Endure the bitterest of hardships to become the best among men.'

The ancients did not deceive me!

After experiencing the effects of cultivating this new version of True Essence, Meng Fan began to test its power and strength.

To truly test the strength of this new True Essence, fighting someone in reality wouldn't be satisfying.

Firstly, it would cause too much commotion, and secondly, there wasn't a suitable opponent.

If he looked for Wu Tian, it would be a one-sided beating, which wasn't interesting.

So Meng Fan took out the Enlightenment Cushion and sat on it.

In an instant, Meng Fan entered the meditation cushion space.

The next second, a black-robed figure appeared, identical to Meng Fan.

Meng Fan was already used to this, having seen it many times before.

He was quite curious about what techniques the black-robed Meng Fan would use against him this time.

Having fused four types of True Essence, the black-robed Meng Fan had done the same.

So this time, Meng Fan felt a sense of novelty facing the black-robed Meng Fan, different from before.

As soon as the black-robed Meng Fan appeared, he wielded the Hong Qi Sword, and with a wave of his hand, thousands of sword qi appeared out of thin air, slashing towards Meng Fan.

Right from the start, it was the signature move, Myriad Swords As One.

This was unexpected for Meng Fan. Although Myriad Swords As One was indeed his strongest sword move, the black-robed Meng Fan seemed to dislike using it, rarely employing this sword technique.

The most important thing was that facing this move, Meng Fan could only use Myriad Swords As One to counter it.

As the saying goes, Myriad Swords As One was too powerful, and even Meng Fan himself could only use this move to respond.

Any other sword technique would not be a match for Myriad Swords As One.

A slight mistake would result in being blasted to pieces.

So Meng Fan dared not be careless in this regard, and could only go all out, wielding the Hong Qi Sword to perform Myriad Swords As One.

Even after executing Myriad Swords As One, Meng Fan remained on high alert, not daring to be careless.

Because even if both executed Myriad Swords As One, it couldn't guarantee his safety.

Theoretically, the two Meng Fans had identical strength and sword techniques.

Simultaneously executing Myriad Swords As One, the power of the two swords should cancel each other out.

But that's just theory, and there could be another theory, which is...

Mutual destruction!

The black-robed Meng Fan, after all, was a dummy created by the Enlightenment Cushion, and he wasn't afraid of mutual destruction, but Meng Fan was!

He absolutely wouldn't allow even the slightest possibility of mutual destruction.

So after unleashing Myriad Swords As One, Meng Fan began to crazily operate the Orient Loong God Body, maximizing his defense.

This way, even if the two Myriad Swords As One collided and an accident occurred, he wouldn't be blasted to pieces.

Besides the Orient Loong God Body, Meng Fan also activated the Sword God state.

The moment the black-robed Meng Fan appeared, he unleashed Myriad Swords As One against Meng Fan, giving him no time to react.

At that moment, Meng Fan had no other choice but to instinctively use Myriad Swords As One.

If he had activated the Sword God state first and then used Myriad Swords As One, Meng Fan would undoubtedly be invincible.

But in the rush, there was simply no time!

Only by unleashing Myriad Swords As One to resist the black-robed Meng Fan's Myriad Swords As One did he have time to activate the Sword God.

At this point, activating the Sword God wasn't for attack, but purely for survival.

Meng Fan was as cautious as ever!

The Sword God move was akin to an all-around enhancement buff, not just increasing attack power.

Moments later, the two Myriad Swords As One gradually canceled each other out.

As theorized, they were perfectly matched, neither able to overcome the other.

However, although the two Myriad Swords As One canceled each other out, the states of the black-robed Meng Fan and Meng Fan were different.

Meng Fan was unscathed, but the black robe on the black-robed Meng Fan had many tears, and even his body had small wounds with blood oozing out.

The black-robed Meng Fan wasn't as cautious as Meng Fan, purely relying on his physical strength to withstand the scattered sword qi energy of Myriad Swords As One.

He didn't even fully operate the Orient Loong God Body, just using it as a standard protective measure.

It must be said, the black-robed Meng Fan was quite lucky, as the scattered sword qi energy of Myriad Swords As One wasn't too strong this time.

Otherwise, it could have blasted his entire body to pieces.

Although Meng Fan's physical body, due to cultivating the Orient Loong God Body, had extremely strong defense.

His offensive power was even more formidable!

Especially the Myriad Swords As One move, which was overwhelmingly powerful.

If Meng Fan's spear were used against his shield, the shield would undoubtedly be shattered, completely overwhelmed.

There's no comparison!

"I must say, after fusing several types of True Essence, the Myriad Swords As One move has indeed become stronger.

Moreover, my control over the Myriad Swords As One move is more effortless and skillful.

This is evident from the minimal scattered sword qi energy just now," Meng Fan murmured to himself.

Because he had more control over the Myriad Swords As One move, the scattered energy was minimal.

Had he known the outcome, he wouldn't have needed to be so cautious with the Orient Loong God Body and the Sword God!

"Reciprocity, this time it's my turn to strike first and test the waters."

Meng Fan, holding the Hong Qi Sword, took the initiative, slashing a sword towards the black-robed Meng Fan from a distance.

The next second, a terrifying sword qi burst from the blade of the Hong Qi Sword, slashing fiercely at the black-robed Meng Fan.

One Sword Opens the Azure Sky

This was actually the weakest Heavenly Grade Sword Technique Meng Fan had learned.

Because this sword technique was stolen and incomplete.

Previously, there were two other Heavenly Grade Sword Techniques from Shu Mountain that were also stolen, but Elder Lin had given him the complete versions recently, fully supplementing them.

So comparatively, One Sword Opens the Azure Sky was now the weakest Heavenly Grade Sword Technique Meng Fan had learned.

Meng Fan's sword was purely to test the waters and to carefully feel the new version of True Essence within him.

But even though One Sword Opens the Azure Sky was Meng Fan's weakest Heavenly Grade Sword Technique, he was currently in the Sword God state, making its power excessively strong.

It's worth mentioning that this sword could easily kill a cultivator at the peak of the Condensing Elixir and even contend with a cultivator at the early Summoning God Realm.

And this was just Meng Fan's weakest sword technique!

Well, the weakest Heavenly Grade Sword Technique.

The black-robed Meng Fan, seeing Meng Fan's One Sword Opens the Azure Sky, calmly raised the Hong Qi Sword and also slashed out a sword.

This was among the Heavenly Grade Sword Techniques Meng Fan learned from Shu Mountain, arguably the strongest in terms of attack power.

A massive sword qi suddenly split, transforming into numerous small sword qi, slashing towards Meng Fan.

And during the slash, these small sword qi suddenly merged, reforming into a massive sword qi.

But this sword qi was even more powerful than when it was first formed.

This was the unique feature of the Sword Control to Subdue Demons move.

It's worth noting that Meng Fan's One Sword Opens the Azure Sky was stolen from the Clan Master of the Ghost King Sect, a typical demonic sect's ultimate technique.

The black-robed Meng Fan using the Sword Control to Subdue Demons move against One Sword Opens the Azure Sky was quite fitting, with a touch of demon-slaying flavor.

But which was stronger was uncertain.

After all, the black-robed Meng Fan hadn't simultaneously activated the Sword God, theoretically leaving some disparity.

Then...

The next second, theory became reality.

Meng Fan's One Sword Opens the Azure Sky not only broke through the black-robed Meng Fan's Sword Control to Subdue Demons but also cleaved the black-robed Meng Fan's body in two.

And at that moment, before the black-robed Meng Fan's body fully split, it turned into a wisp of smoke, disappearing in the meditation cushion space.

Simultaneously, Meng Fan also vanished from the meditation cushion space, returning to the real room.

In the room, Meng Fan sat on the meditation cushion, a satisfied expression on his face.

The new version of True Essence, after fusing four types, was truly effective, even better than he imagined.

Having just tested it in the Enlightenment Space, he could feel that compared to before, this new True Essence was much stronger, at least fifty percent stronger!

Although it hadn't doubled, nor achieved a 1+1+1+1=4 effect, Meng Fan was already very satisfied.

After all, fusing four types of True Essence into one, in terms of quantity, it was only a quarter of the total True Essence before.

So it couldn't be calculated as 1+1+1+1=4.

"This new True Essence, neither belonging to thunder, nor wind, fire, or demon, deserves a new name."

Saying this, Meng Fan was too lazy to think and directly named it after the Primordial Scripture, which seemed fitting.

[Primordial True Essence]

It sounded impressive, and Meng Fan even felt a bit unworthy of the name.

It seemed like only by fusing all types of True Essence could it truly deserve such a high-end name!
