Sword Devil Also Dual Cultivates?

"Ugh! My head hurts just by hearing it. You should have at least told us this before when she was still there. There was no point of hiding things if we are going to be together for I don't know how long." Lan Ming slapped his forehead and sighed.

"Yeah! Why would you even bother hiding this from us? I was indeed suspicious when Luo Xue left in such a hurry but I didn't even get a chance to say." Zhao Tan suddenly spoke which made everyone turn their head at him and stare for a moment.

"What? You have never seen a handsome man like me before?" Zhao Tan couldn't help but feel ashamed of their gazes. But, he still made a proud expression and spoke.

Everyone rolled their eyes and turned away. Zhao Tan naturally didn't care about their glare. He just kept sitting on the couch while lifting his head with his fist.

"At that time, I wasn't sure to involve all of you in this mess. That's why I never told you this. Before a month ago, we didn't even know each other. How do you expect me to believe that you will help me?" Yue Bin sighed and answered while lowering her heads.

"Well, it seems to be the case. Anyway, there is no need to think too much. Even I barely got to know this before. So, let's not talk about her issue rather focus on a current issue. Lan Ming said we should wait. So, are we going to wait or not?" Qin decided to interfere so that this matter won't take a long time.

Hearing his words, everyone nodded their heads and Zhao Tan asked.

"So, what's the matter?"

"I think we should wait for a few days. It would be much safer and we would also get time to rest." Chu Xieyi ignored Zhao Tan and spoke.

"Hmm! I agree. Let's wait! And, taking down an entire kingdom is hard. With our current strength, it's almost impossible. So, the only way is to wait and get stronger before we fight them." Guo Yang also agreed.

"Now that I think about it, we currently do not know the extent of our powers comparing it to the real world. I guess fighting this monster will give us clear heads up. All of us are already at the Origin Law Realm at least except for two, and even though Liu and I are a little bit off, they are still close." Guo Min spoke.

Liu Bing nodded her head and spoke "Qin and Ming are closest to beating an Emperor Realm with ease. But, above them, it would be harder. The problem is there should be some Great Emperors in a kingdom. If we go on like this, we would be instantly defeated."

"Liu is right. Not to mention, there could be an ancestor as well. So for now, we will focus on improving our cultivation and strength to the peak of Ancestor Realm unless the clock ticks in. Then, we will leave this world and enter the Saint World."

"And, remember Saint World isn't going to be easy. If we do end up going there, we need to be low-key as much as possible." Lan Ming nodded his head as he agreed to Liu Bing's words and spoke.

"Alright, then it is decided. We will wait and improve our strength. But, considering we don't have many resources, we will focus on something else like Laws or anything that doesn't consume many resources. Once we beat this monster, we need to get our hands in enough ingredients so that Min can prepare enough Earth Rank Pills to help us cultivate." Qin spoke as he sat back on the couch.

"Can anyone explains what's going on?" Finally when everyone sat down, Zhao Tan screamed as he looked at them.

"Who wants to explain this to him?" Qin raised his head and asked.

"Not me!"

"Nope!"

"I am busy."

"I need to cultivate."

"Never in a million years."

"Who asked him to sleep so soundly without even caring about a single thing?"

"I hate foodies. They always empty your wealth."

"Can't agree more? But, I just feel like sleeping now. So, I can't."

Hearing their responses, Zhao Tan opened his mouth wide as he looked at them with disbelieve on his face.

"I guess nobody wants to explain this to you." Qin smiled as he looked at Zhao Tan's face.

Zhao Tan instantly pounced at Qin and caught his hands. He made the cute expression with the tears pouring down his eyes as he begged.

"Please!"

"Ha! Come on, you should be more cautious of the surroundings. What happened to the cold and indifferent Zhao Tan that we saw during the Competition? You are acting like a completely different person now."

Hearing his words, Zhao Tan bites his lips and turned around. His action made Qin startled for a moment. But, then he realized Zhao Tan was indeed acting weird but only after Guan Xing fell into a deep sleep.

Qin looked at Zhao Tan's back hoping that he would say something but Zhao Tan kept his mouth shut as he returned back to his seat. Some of them were still watching this. They were also a little bit confused.

"Well, since you don't want to say, let's stop it all. But, for your information, we decided to help this town from a crazy monster. So, we will stay here for some time." Qin sighed and finally answered.

"Oh! Is he strong?" Zhao Tan instantly changed his mood upon hearing his words and asked.

This made Qin roll his eyes. But, he still nodded his head and said "He must be stronger than the previous enemies we have fought but I am not too sure. So, let's get stronger until he comes."

"By the way Qin, what about Time Patrol Force? Are they going to arrive soon?" Lan Ming turned his head at Qin and asked.

Qin shrugged his shoulders and spoke "I am not sure. They might come soon or maybe late. All we know is that only my swordsmanship works against them and we just need to keep on getting stronger."

"Hmm! Alright then, I will start cultivation." Zhao Tan immediately settled on the couch and closed his eyes.

Seeing his actions, Qin couldn't help but sigh with relief. For a moment, he was worried that Zhao Tan might instantly change back again. Although it was quite annoying, he likes Zhao Tan as he is right now.

Everyone else also smiled and started their comprehension. Qin also did the same. Currently, he has two major things he needs to comprehend.

Merging Light and Dark Attribute with his sword!

Merging Five Elements with Ice and Lightning with his sword.

Currently, he has successfully merged Ice with his sword using the Sword Cloak- Chilling Night. As for the lightning, he has been using it for a while now. But, Light and Dark attributes are two things that he hasn't touched.

And, he was also curious about the amalgamation of five elements, ice, and lightning, and if possible light and darkness well. That would be the nine elements sword which would be really awesome since he could use all of his elements perfectly with his sword.

But, creating an art to do this wasn't an easy task. First, he must find a way to merge the element with sword. Currently, this isn't hard for him especially now that he has already merged seven elements with his sword.

But, Light and Dark elements are opposite to each other. So, merging them with a sword isn't going to be easy. There are two paths he can follow right now. Create a balance between light and dark elements. This will give him a perfect condition to create sword art.

The second path is to dominate two elements. And, Qin has planned to follow the second path rather than the first even though the second path gives him lesser chances to create sword art. Simply because the conditions can be met at one instance but they can be erased in another.

But, the first path also has one measure problem that might not hinder him now. But, it will create problems in the future. He has planned to merge all of the elements into the sword. Once he does that, the balance that he creates between Dark and Light will break and he needs to find that balance once again but with greater challenges.

So, instead of facing the problem in the future that might be even harsher, he simply decided to dominate the elements with his sword. The problem that he currently has is his Sword Seed. To simply put it, Sword Seed doesn't give his sword energy any strength to dominate an element.

That would only be possible when he reaches the next realm which is Sword Intent Realm. All of this is only possible when he reaches that realm. So, for now, his goal is to merge light and dark elements with his sword separately and also work on merging Ice and Lightning Elements together.

While he focuses on comprehension, time passes like the water in a river.

Two days later,

"Qin! Qin! Qin, wake up! The town is in trouble!"
