Chapter 2729: Chapter 2728: Comprehending the Sword II
On the other side, deep within the Sky Cloud Mountain Range, cloaked in ancient legends and mysterious powers, Lin Dong was quietly sitting cross-legged below the Five Elements Origin Heart.
All around, the elements of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth entwined like five Flood Dragons in the air, forming a series of awe-inspiring natural tapestries.
Each ripple of the elements embodied the ultimate truths of the universe, as if whispering the secrets of the cosmos.
Lin Dong closed his eyes, concentrating, his body and mind fully immersed in the world interwoven with the Five Elements.
His consciousness seemed to traverse time and space, establishing a subtle connection with the Five Elements Origin Heart.
In this chaotic yet pure world, he felt an unprecedented peace and strength.
The understanding of "Sword one" had given him an initial grasp of the Wordless Sword Art.
But although Sword one was powerful, his opponent now was already at the Sub Ancestor Level.
Sword one was simply not enough.
He knew well that to battle a Sub Ancestor, he must constantly surpass himself, comprehending more powerful sword techniques.
Thus, he turned his gaze towards "Sword two".
Guided by the Five Elements Origin Heart, he began to try to integrate the elements into his sword technique, attempting to create an unprecedented Sword Intent.
At first, he tried to incorporate the sharpness of Metal, the growth of Wood, the flexibility of Water, the intensity of Fire, and the solidity of Earth into his sword technique one by one, but the result was not ideal.
The elements of the Five Elements acted independently, difficult to form a unified Sword Intent.
Lin Dong realized that to allow the elements to coexist in harmony, he must find their balance point and let them integrate and enhance each other in the sword technique.
Thus, he embarked on a long journey of exploration and attempt.
Every failure deepened his understanding of the elements; every adjustment brought him closer to the true "Sword two".
Finally, in a coincidental moment, Lin Dong captured a bit of inspiration during meditation.
He seemed to see the elements freely circulating and transforming between heaven and earth, continually renewing themselves.
At that moment, he felt as if he merged with heaven and earth, sensing the true mystery of the elements.
He abruptly opened his eyes, gripped his sword with both hands, and his figure soared into the sky like a Flood Dragon. In the air, he swung his sword in a slash, and a Sword Light imbued with the power of the Five Elements Origin slashed through the void. The sharpness of Metal, the growth of Wood, the flexibility of Water, the intensity of Fire, and the solidity of Earth perfectly fused at this moment, forming a dazzling Sword Light.
"Sword two! Comprehension succeeded!" Lin Dong exclaimed softly, his voice filled with confidence and joy.
This Sword Light was not only extraordinarily powerful but also contained the power of the Five Elements Origin, as if it could discern all things and sever all obstacles.
Feeling the power of "Sword two", a wave of pride surged within Lin Dong.
He lifted his gaze towards the distant horizon, internally pondering, "I wonder if my Sword two could break through the Sky Boundary Saint Body of the Five Heavens strength?"
This confidence was not blind but stemmed from an absolute trust in "Sword two" and a profound understanding of the Five Elements Origin power.
With the comprehension of "Sword two", Lin Dong’s strength once again underwent a qualitative leap.
Now, facing a Sub Ancestor, or an entity like the Shadow Sovereign, Lin Dong also had the opportunity to engage them.
Rather than, upon seeing them, having to escape using the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique.
Under the illumination of the Five Elements Origin Heart, Lin Dong slowly opened his eyes, an unprecedented clarity and depth flickering within them.
Just as he was immersed in the joy of understanding "Sword two", waves of strong or weak auras silently approached, breaking his contemplation.
All these auras, without exception, belonged to human martial artists.
They traveled either alone or in groups, but all converged towards Lin Dong with eyes full of awe and curiosity.
In this battlefield where the strong were revered, a martial artist who could comprehend the power of the Five Elements Origin was undoubtedly an existence that all martial artists looked up to.
"Congratulations to Master Lin for becoming the first existence with a Five Elements Physique on the extraterrestrial battlefield! Unprecedented, and perhaps never to be seen again!" A loud voice rang out among the crowd, carrying genuine admiration and excitement.
Lin Dong looked in the direction of the voice, seeing a martial artist dressed in traditional Dragon Country attire striding forward.
This person exuded a calm aura, with sharp eyes, clearly a powerful figure.
Behind him, several other martial artists, also dressed in Dragon Country attire, followed. Their eyes were equally filled with awe and curiosity.
"Oh? And you are?" Lin Dong smiled slightly, with a tone of curiosity and modesty.
Although his name was already widely known, he had little impression of this suddenly appearing warrior from Dragon Country.
"Younger Gao Yang, a martial artist from Dragon Country, my strength is at the Peak Ninth Level Grandmaster." The martial artist respectfully performed a bow and introduced himself.
"Master Lin’s name is now not merely famed in the outer world. On the extraterrestrial battlefield, it is known by everyone. Especially now, with your comprehension of the Five Elements Origin and achievement of the Five Elements Body, the entire battlefield is in upheaval!"
Hearing this, Lin Dong’s lips curled into a faint smile.
He did not overly concern himself with these honorary titles, but still felt a trace of comfort from receiving such widespread acknowledgment.
"No need for such flattery." Lin Dong gently waved his hand, his tone still calm, "I am just an ordinary martial artist pursuing the ultimate in Kendo."
Upon hearing this, admiration flashed in Gao Yang’s eyes.
He knew well, those who could face fame and fortune so serenely were the true strong ones.
Yet at this moment, Gao Yang’s face suddenly dimmed, as if something unmentionable weighed down his heart.
He took a deep breath and suddenly knelt before Lin Dong, his voice carrying a tinge of determination and plea: "Master Lin, meeting you here, I estimate, is also fate. I boldly request Master Lin, to help me with a task."
Seeing this, Lin Dong slightly frowned.
He was not accustomed to such sudden kneeling and pleading, but he could also feel the sincerity and urgency within Gao Yang’s heart.
"A man’s kneeling is as valuable as gold, especially a Ninth Stage Grandmaster like you?" Lin Dong’s voice was gentle yet firm, "If you have something to say, then say it—no need to kneel."
Following Lin Dong’s words, a mysterious and gentle power surged, gently helping Gao Yang to his feet.
Gao Yang felt a warm flow enter his heart, as if sweeping away his fatigue and nervousness. He looked up at Lin Dong, his eyes full of gratitude and admiration.
"I wish to implore Master Lin, in light of both being Dragon Country martial artists, to help me rescue a companion."
"Three days ago, my companion and I were pursued by a Demon Emperor. My companion stayed behind to protect me and fell into the hands of the Demon Emperor."
"Now his life and death are unknown, and I boldly implore Master Lin to go with me to find that Demon Emperor. If my companion is still alive, then rescue him. If he has perished, then I implore Master Lin to avenge him."
