Seeking the Immortal Way

After eating, Lin Yan separated from the rest and returned to his own room to continue cultivating, replenishing the genuine essence in his eyes.

However, the amount of genuine essence that could be accommodated in his eyes was enormous. Lin Yan had to consume many Low grade spirit stone s before he was able to fill them up, as if his eyes were filled with a different Dantian Qi Mansion.

When he opened his eyes again, it was already early morning outside. The sun had just risen in the distance.

After stretching his body, Lin Yan walked out of the room with the emerald green longsword in his hand. This was the reward he had received from the Dragon Seeking Palace last time, and he had not had the time to use it yet.

Holding the longsword in his hand, Lin Yan went into the courtyard. Closing his eyes, he started to practice the Tianshu Sword Art, every move and every move was extremely serious. Although he did not use the genuine essence, the emerald colored Sword Light still emitted a sharp charm.

As he practiced the swordsmanship, Lin Yan thought back to the competition that he had with Ruan Qianqiu in the flying cloud gate a few days ago.

Especially when he thought about the time when Ruan Qianqiu took out the profound seal from his chest, and how he had used the sword technique on Yuheng Wuxiang, he had also comprehended the concept of shadow from that one move, and smoothly utilized the concept of shadow. In addition to the speed of the Cloud-Stepping Boots, he narrowly avoided the attack of the profound seal.

However, this Concept of Shadow could be carefully studied. If used well, it could even quietly dodge an opponent's attack. At the same time, it could circle around the opponent's back and give him a fatal blow.

Thinking about that, Lin Yan suddenly noticed that right before his eyes, the Sword Qi in his hand became even more sharp, his feet stepped on the sword techniques, immediately using the Jade Height Formless Sword Technique from the Tianshu Sword Art, coordinating with the Concept of Shadow, in the blink of an eye, he had already changed his position, this move was already extremely fast.

After using this move, Lin Yan's face revealed a satisfied smile. Although he had just mastered the Concept of Shadow, but looking at this speed, he seemed to have grasped a few techniques, at least in the face of an early stage Ethereal Opening Realm, if he could not beat them, he could still use this move to escape.

Or perhaps he could grab hold of this opportunity and use it as a counterattack. Now that he already had the light of his soul and the Concept of Shadow, the cultivators in the early stages of Ethereal Opening Realm would definitely not be his match.

Just as Lin Yan retracted his sword and stood up, there was a knock on the courtyard door.

When Lin Yan opened the door, he discovered that the one standing outside was Senior Brother Zhang Ming, and could not help but be surprised, as the place where he lived was quite a distance away from the other Senior Brother's residences, thus, there were very few people who came to his courtyard. Although the relationship between the two of them was not bad, and they often sparred with each other in the swordsmanship to improve themselves, Senior Brother Zhang Ming was still a rare guest in this courtyard.

Laughing, Lin Yan said to Zhang Ming: Senior Brother Zhang Ming, you're such a rare guest, it's rare to see you up so early, it's rare that you come to my courtyard, what's the matter, did you invite me over to the Sword Discourse Arena to compete with you again?

Zhang Ming shook his head and said: "It's not that I'm looking for you, it's that Master told me to look for you. He said that he's waiting for you at the Cloud Sea Cliff's pavilion.

Lin Yan nodded, he anxiously packed his things, turned and walked out of the room, and rushed towards the direction of the Cloud Sea Cliff.

It was a cliff that pierced through the clouds. Above the clouds, no matter if it was the downwind, frost, or rain, or the changing of the seasons, one could still see the sun and the setting sun on the Cloud Sea Cliff. The boundless clouds were like a vast ocean, with no end in sight.

He stretched out his hand and picked up a teacup from the stone table before taking a sip. Looking at the distant sea of clouds, he seemed to be deep in thought and had a head full of white hair. Combined with his white robe, it gave him the appearance of an immortal.

This person was precisely Lin Yan's master, the Heavenly Star Peak's Peak Master. Meng Xinghe, Yun Haiya, this place belonged to the Heavenly Star Peak, so Meng Xinghe would practically come here every morning to watch the sunrise in the sea of clouds.

Lin Yan arrived at Cloud Sea Cliff, and walked towards the direction of the pavilion atop the cliff. At this moment, Meng Xinghe was sitting there and waiting.

"Master, you were looking for me?" Lin Yan came close to the pavilion, and cupped his hands and asked Meng Xinghe.

Meng Xinghe retracted his mind, turned and looked at Lin Yan, smiled and nodded, then waved, gesturing for Lin Yan to come over.

Lin Yan came to the pavilion and sat in front of the master and disciple.

Meng Xinghe laughed, and then said to Lin Yan in front of him: "During the last exchange, you could be said to have displayed great skill, to have actually defeated the Ruan Qianqiu of Heavenly Thunder Sect. He is an expert of the Ethereal Opening Realm, and at the same time, won a Rising Sun Peak for the sect.

Lin Yan laughed and said: "This is what I should do."

Meng Xinghe nodded with a smile, and continued to ask: "In the last arena battle, you managed to comprehend the concept of the Shadow at the most critical moment, which was why you were able to avoid Ruan Qianqiu's profound seal, I wonder how you are able to comprehend the current concept?"

Lin Yan smiled as he shook his head, and said to his master: "Even though I had comprehended the Concept of Shadow last time, I was still in the process of trying to comprehend it, and did not make much progress."

Meng Xinghe thought for a moment, then said to Lin Yan: "I have heard about the Concept of Shadow before. A few hundred years ago, there was this Assassin's Hall, where there was a total of seven great experts, all of them had comprehended the Concept of Shadow, especially when killing people, this kind of Concept of Shadow could be used to a great extent.

Pausing for a moment, Meng Xinghe drank a mouthful of tea and continued to speak with Lin Yan: "Thus, these people can be considered to be very popular on the continent, and no one dared to offend them. It's just that later on, because of the internal conflicts between them, and because of their own interests, they started killing each other, and eventually all of them perished together.

Even though you are just a root bone, your comprehension ability is beyond imagination. You are actually able to comprehend such a concept of a shadow under such tense circumstances, it is truly admirable. If you are able to continue developing it in the future, perhaps you will be able to make great progress.
