The seventh senior brother Ling Wu handed Wang Xu a secret technique called "Speed".

"Speed," from the name, you can see the core of this secret technique; to summarize it simply, it's one word—fast!

When the blade is fast to the extreme, so fast that the naked eye cannot distinguish it, so fast that even shadows are hard to capture, that's when your great saber will become the enemy's nightmare. The enemy battling against you will live in fear of the deadly strike that could come at any time, trembling and without the courage to fight!

"Good! Excellent!"

Wang Xu only glanced briefly, but he already had a rough understanding of the terrifying power of this secret technique. If he mastered it, it would again elevate his strength to a higher level!

"Thank you, Seventh Senior Brother, for bestowing this technique!" Wang Xu expressed his gratitude.

"Don't hurry to thank me. Wait until three hundred years later, if you can withstand my three strikes, then it's not too late to thank me. But if you can't, don't blame me for not showing brotherly feelings," Seventh Senior Brother Ling Wu said expressionlessly.

Withstand three strikes?

In Wang Xu's eyes, a trace of unyielding battle spirit arose; this seventh senior brother was underestimating him too much!

With his current strength, he is already fully equivalent to those at the Middle Stage of the Emperor Spirit Realm, and he can even firmly suppress someone at the Middle Stage... If he cultivates "Speed" to the Perfection Realm, Wang Xu dares to be sure that those at the Middle Stage would not be his opponent. The seventh senior brother is too arrogant, suggesting he couldn't withstand three strikes?

"Alright, three hundred years later, Tai Xu awaits the guidance of the seventh senior brother!" Wang Xu nodded.

After this, the seventh senior brother passed on the memory inheritance of "Speed" to Wang Xu, explained some rules within the Blade Seat, and transformed into a stream of light and left.

This made Wang Xu extremely envious.

Walking in the air like this is a secret art more confidential than the Truth Secret Technique in the Ganges Realm. Only by cultivating the corresponding secret art can one have the qualification to walk the skies and overlook all beings.

"When I reach the Emperor Spirit Realm, I will also be qualified to cultivate the secret art of air walking."

Only Wang Xu remained in the palace mansion, and he eagerly closed his eyes, browsing the cultivation method of "Speed" in his mind.

…

Copper Medicine Main Clan.

"Dad! Is there any news about Tai Xu?"

Copper Medicine Ye Rong pushed open the door and walked straight in. Copper Medicine Thunder Roar, who was handling family affairs, turned his head and smiled, "Rong'Er, you're asking about Tai Xu's news again and still won't admit you're interested in him!"

Copper Medicine Ye Rong's face flushed, and she said coquettishly, "Dad! He's my husband already, isn't being interested normal? Come on, is there any news about Tai Xu?"

"Haha... Look at you, so impatient. No, last time Tai Xu sent back a message telling me he had reached the Ten Desolate Fengdu. Over a decade has passed with no more information. I think he has either successfully joined the Palace of Truth or is on the way back to the main clan. This kid is formidable; there's no need to worry about him!" Copper Medicine Thunder Roar laughed.

"A few years ago, the family's first genius, Copper Medicine He Xian, returned, and even he wasn't selected by the Palace of Truth. Tai Xu should be impossible too! Hmm, he'll be back soon!" Copper Medicine Ye Rong, unlike other clan members, actually hoped Wang Xu wasn't selected and would return to the main clan.

"If the elders heard your thoughts, they would surely blow their beards and glare, giving you quite a lecture!" Copper Medicine Thunder Roar shook his head with a smile, suddenly his expression paused, as if listening intently, then his expression became exaggeratedly excited, and he stood up abruptly. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

"Dad, what's wrong with you?" Copper Medicine Ye Rong asked, seeing Copper Medicine Thunder Roar's significant reaction.

"Quick! Quickly follow me to the main clan meeting hall!" Copper Medicine Thunder Roar had an urgent and delighted look on his face, immediately grabbing Copper Medicine Ye Rong's hand and rushing to the main clan meeting hall as fast as possible!

Main Clan Meeting Hall.

The entire hall was filled with all the high-level members of the Copper Medicine main clan, even the clan leader sitting upright, uncertain, as if an invisible giant pressure was enveloping them.

And all this came from the green-robed youth standing quietly outside the main clan meeting hall, waiting.

The green-robed youth stood with closed eyes, his figure seemingly integrated into the heavens and earth. However, the aura emanating from him made the main clan members unable to help but feel frightened... Of course, more importantly, he revealed his identity—

Messenger of the Eternal Truth Palace!

"Thunder Roar, you finally came!" As soon as Copper Medicine Thunder Roar and Copper Medicine Ye Rong appeared outside the meeting hall, the clan leader seemed to exhale a sigh of relief and hurriedly greeted them.

"Copper Medicine Thunder Roar pays respects to the elders and the clan leader!" Copper Medicine Thunder Roar saluted, then turned, eyes filled with reverence, bowing to the green-robed youth, but before he could lower his head completely, a force blocked him.

"Are you Copper Medicine Thunder Roar?" The green-robed youth opened his eyes, his pupils green.

"Yes, I am!" Copper Medicine Thunder Roar didn't dare to be careless, as the person before him was a messenger of the Eternal Truth Palace, with power spanning the heavens and earth, overwhelming their main clan with just a flick of a finger!

"Hahaha..." The green-robed youth laughed suddenly, the cold and aloof aura disappearing entirely, "Uncle, I am Tai Xu's friend, 'Lv Kui'. Today I came by the order of the palace to inform you that Tai Xu has already joined our Eternal Truth Palace, so everyone can rest assured!"

Boom!

It was like an atom bomb fell on the plain; all the high-level members of the Copper Medicine main clan and Copper Medicine Thunder Roar were shocked.

"He's entered the Palace of Truth!"

"Hahaha... Heaven blesses our Copper Medicine clan!"

"Great! Great! Our Copper Medicine clan has someone who entered the Palace of Truth!"

The people of the Copper Medicine clan were all too excited to contain themselves.

What kind of existence is the Palace of Truth?

It stands at the pinnacle of the world, an unshakable global power, unparalleled by any others!

As long as one can join the Palace of Truth, their clan will naturally have its protection. Who would dare provoke them? How can they not prosper?

"Joined the Palace of Truth..." Copper Medicine Thunder Roar, after his initial shock, burst into hearty laughter.

He never expected that the martial tournament he impulsively organized would not only bring him a son-in-law with immense potential but also enable him to successfully avenge himself in the clan tournament...

Yet the surprises this son-in-law brought him were far from over; he even succeeded in joining the Palace of Truth!

This all seemed like a dream, making it difficult for Copper Medicine Thunder Roar to calm his excitement.

"Uncle, Tai Xu asked me to relay to you that he probably won't be able to return to the main clan shortly, so you needn't worry about him," Lv Kui said.

"No problem, no problem! Please help me convey a message back to him, that he doesn't need to worry about the main clan and can focus on his cultivation!" Copper Medicine Thunder Roar laughed heartily.

"Tai Xu's affairs are my affairs, it's no trouble." Lv Kui turned his hand and took out a glowing jade talisman, "This is the gift from the Palace of Truth to you. Hang this talisman above your clan territory, and anyone who violates it will be challenging our Eternal Palace. I hope you'll accept it!"

"Good! Good! Good!" The repeated good words from Copper Medicine Thunder Roar showed just how excited he was. Over there, the clan leader and other high-level members were also smiling from ear to ear.

With the protection of the Palace of Truth, even moving the main Copper Medicine clan to the Ten Desolate Fengdu would be of no issue!

Lv Kui continued to smile, although the jade talisman was not really a gift from the Palace of Truth. What kind of status does the Palace of Truth hold? It would never involve itself in "worldly" disputes; this was merely Lv Kui's own promise.

Lv Kui was well aware of Wang Xu's current status in the Palace of Truth and was even clearer on what heights he would rise to in the future. If he didn't seize this opportunity to curry favor, when else would he?

As for Lv Kui claiming to be a friend of Wang Xu, that was even less believable. He was simply a minor student at the tenth seat, sent as a messenger. The gap between their statuses was immense, making friendship out of the question.

Nevertheless, Lv Kui's actions counted as doing Wang Xu a favor, providing the Copper Medicine clan with protection, which aligned with Wang Xu's wishes.

...

Time flew by swiftly.

In the blink of an eye, sixteen hundred years had passed.

"No, it's still not enough. The cultivation of 'Speed' is still inadequate!"

On the Cultivation Field, Wang Xu was drenched in sweat, his body flickering madly, dodging strikes from Rock Giants.

Each of these Rock Giants had the strength of the Late Stage Emperor Spirit Realm. Their body technique was exceedingly fast, and their power vast, capable of withstanding attacks from the peak Emperor Spirit Realm!

Rock Bladesmiths, as they are called.

If placed outside, any one of these Rock Bladesmiths could cause a stir, prompting many forces to spend much to vie for them, potentially inciting bloody conflict. But in the Palace of Truth, they were just puppets for training students.

Facing four Rock Bladesmiths at once equaled facing four Late Stage Emperor Spirit Realm individuals, each with strong bodies adept in powerful Sword Techniques, even Wang Xu had to temporarily retreat.

Clang clang clang clang clang...

Utilizing the Perfection of the 'Assault' body technique, Wang Xu barely seized an opportunity. The Sword Technique of 'Speed' erupted suddenly, and within the blink of an eye, he had swung over a thousand sword strikes!

But the Rock Bladesmiths merely lost a few fragments from their stone bodies, retreating slightly without suffering any real damage.

"'Speed' is only at this level, no wonder I've lost to Ling Wu Senior Brother five times!" Wang Xu continued to sweat profusely, yet even in this arduous environment, he refused to give up.

Over the past sixteen hundred years, Wang Xu had sparred with his seventh brother Ling Wu five times.

The first time, Wang Xu couldn't withstand a single blow.

The second time, after finding several missing pieces of 'Assault' in the Secret Hall of Truth within the Palace of Truth, he managed to barely withstand one strike, but Wang Xu conceded before the second strike came.

The third time, he successfully withstood the first strike but failed to withstand the stronger second strike.

The fourth and fifth times, the results were apparent. Even now, Wang Xu struggled to withstand the power of Ling Wu's three strikes.

"And this is just the seventh brother, the weakest among the seven brothers. If it were Master Brother Neng Fu, I fear I couldn't withstand even one strike!" Wang Xu thought to himself.

Under the Blade Seat, each one is a monstrous genius. Now, Wang Xu finally understood the truth of those words.

"Tai Xu!"

Suddenly, a streak of light flew down from the clouds; it was Ling Wu, his seventh senior brother.

"Seventh Brother, the three-century limit hasn't arrived, why are you here?" Wang Xu stopped, and with a wave of his hand, all the Rock Bladesmiths halted in place.

"You've been in the Blade Seat for sixteen hundred years now, and your strength can withstand two of my strikes head-on. It's time to carry out your mission."
