Chapter 337: Chapter 337 Martial Way Rule_1

Due to the Mountain and River Martial Soul’s fusion degree reaching a perfect ten, a mutation occurred, and Ling Xiao’s abilities were enhanced in every aspect.

Firstly, there were nine special abilities.

Analysis practice, production, realm templates, Martial Dao Will, Martial Soul Avatar, Devouring Zhan Hun, Devouring True Essence, Nine Vein Spiritual Body, Mountain and River Master!

All of them experienced a significant improvement.

Moreover, the "Martial Dao Will" had evolved into the "Martial Way Rule". This ability was relatively complex, and Ling Xiao needed to study it anew.

Generally speaking, it meant that during combat or cultivation, one could establish a certain law, at the cost of something, and then achieve even more terrifying effects.

For example, during cultivation:

Cost: Not resting for one shichen.

Effect: The speed of cultivation increases by ten percent within that shichen.

Of course, this was a relatively simple rule.

Another example, during combat:

Cost: Being severely injured by the opponent.

Effect: Instantly dealing one’s strongest attack damage to the enemy.

Whether a rule can be established must conform to the grand laws of the Mysterious World; the Mountain and River Martial Soul would give reminders during its use.

The other eight special abilities, although not transformed, were all improved as well.

Secondly, Ling Xiao could now always remain in the Soul Entry state without needing to activate it, and his abilities, including vision, analytical skills, and reaction speed, etc., had all significantly increased.

It was more terrifying than before.

He could see through the enemy’s next move;

He could quickly analyze the enemy’s flaws or weaknesses;

And he possessed over a hundred miles of ultra-long-range vision as well as the ability to see through ten meters of material.

Of course, penetrating vision would still be affected by True Essence. If the opponent used True Essence to block, the depth of penetration would naturally decrease.

Lastly, there was one more thing. Ling Xiao could finally fight using the Mountain and River Martial Soul.

He had been reluctant to use the Mountain and River Martial Soul in battle before, for fear of revealing its secret.

But now the situation was different.

He discovered that the power of the Mountain and River Martial Soul could actually be used separately.

The three types of power he could borrow were "Glacier," "Ocean," and "Mountains and Rivers".

The external manifestations were these three forms.

They would not directly summon the entirety of the Mountain and River Martial Soul, thus avoiding exposure.

After all, his Mountain and River Martial Soul had now fully merged with his soul, and its aura was completely different from what those people were searching for. As long as he didn’t summon the original form, there was no need to worry about exposing the secret.

After getting a basic understanding of his current abilities, Ling Xiao couldn’t help but show a trace of a smile.

He looked in the direction of Moon Hua Sect, then at Tianfeng City.

He decided to visit Tianfeng City first.

It had been a long time since he had been back, and he didn’t know the current state of the Divine Sword Sect.

Back when the Green-eyed Clan launched the war, Tianfeng City was the first to be hit. At that time, he had no way of coming back to check, and he didn’t want to miss out now.

When he left Yunkong City, he had considered relocating the Divine Sword Sect directly to Yunkong City to merge with Lin Ze’s Hidden Dragon Camp, forming an even stronger Divine Sword Sect.

However, this plan was opposed by Wan Ben, the City Lord of Yunkong City, so it did not happen.

Therefore, after the war ended, the Divine Sword Sect returned to Tianfeng City and continued to develop slowly with Tianfeng City as its base.

Although it can’t compare to those great sects, especially the Twelve Sects, with Master Baiyun, a transcendent-level expert, in place, it should have developed quite well.

However, when he followed the disciples of Divine Sword Sect back from hunting along the edges of Fulong Mountain Range, he realized something was amiss.

From a great distance, he could see crowds surrounding the Divine Sword Sect.

This scene involuntarily reminded him of the past siege on the Ling Family by the two major families of Tianfeng City, in alliance with the Ninja Clan’s guards.

The crowd was bristling with murderous intent, nearly ten thousand strong.

Most crucially, many among them were soldiers from Yunkong City, identifiable by the City Lord’s Mansion’s insignia on their attire.

All these soldiers were martial artists, with the weakest among them being Fifth Layer Martial Vein Realm warriors.

The captains were uniformly Seventh Level Martial Masters in the Martial Vein Realm, and the generals were at the Eighth or even Ninth Level as Martial Masters.

Though their numbers were only around a thousand, this was still an excessive amount.

He had no idea what had transpired in the past two months for Baiyun Province to suddenly see such a surge in martial masters.

Could it be due to the return of the Twelve Sects?

Ling Xiao wasn’t sure if his theory was correct, but he could see the current situation very clearly.

These people were definitely here to cause trouble for the Divine Sword Sect, armed with strong crossbows and various weapons, besieging the Sect so tightly that they could invade and slaughter at any moment.

The Divine Sword Sect seemed not so easy to bully, either.

The disciples who were out on missions had all returned; there were thousands of them, using the sect as a fortress to establish a tight defence.

Shields, bows and crossbows, and long spears were all well-stocked.

It was clear that, amid this chaotic era, Sect Leader Ling Wuheng of the Divine Sword Sect had tried everything to ensure the survival of this small sect.

Within the Divine Sword Sect, there were many disciples at the Seventh Layer Martial Master level and even Ninth Stage Martial Artist ranks.

Ling Xiao even saw Ling Yihang among them.

This guy had finally become a pillar of the Divine Sword Sect.

Back when he left, wasn’t this guy only at the Fifth or Sixth Layer of the Martial Vein Realm?

Indeed, with the reappearance of the Mountain and River Martial Soul and the return of the Twelve Sects, many things seemed to have changed.

Many martial artists who had long struggled to ascend to the Martial Master Realm started training much faster after awakening their Martial Souls or broken Martial Souls.

Even though they were still far behind those like Ling Xiao who had entered a sect, they were, at the very least, advancing faster than before.

Ling Xiao felt quite pleased for Ling Yihang. Although the latter was still in the early stages of a Ninth Layer Martial Master of Martial Vein Realm, and it was uncertain whether he could ascend to the Transcendent Realm, it was still commendable.

After all, Ling Yihang’s talent was indeed limited.

Leading the attacking forces was Wan 犇, a Ninth Layer master of the Martial Nerve Realm.

Among them were Ninja Warriors such as Zhu Hua, Lu Xing, Butterfly Dance Victoria, Fei Liu, Fei Yu, and others.

Wan 犇’s aura was incredibly strong; Ling Xiao could sense that he must have reached the Ninth Layer Pinnacle of Martial Veins.

Unfortunately, without entering a sect and gaining access to high-level martial arts training, it would be exceedingly difficult for Wan 犇 to break through to the Transcendent Realm.

On the other side, leading the Divine Sword Sect were Ling Wuheng, Ling Yihang, and Elder Ling Xiaotian.

Only, it was unclear where Master Baiyun had gone.

Ling Xiao looked towards the Divine Sword Sect, but he couldn’t spot Master Baiyun.

He frowned, wondering why Master Baiyun, who had promised to protect the Divine Sword Sect, was not within the sect.

Although he was puzzled, he didn’t want to delve into it now.

After today’s issues were resolved, he could ask Ling Yihang and the others, and things would become clear.

He didn’t rush to act; he wanted to see if the Divine Sword Sect could withstand Wan 犇’s army’s assault without his assistance.
