Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi-Chapter 1776 - 1726: Guidance

Swish!

Li Changsheng wielded his longsword and sliced through the air with a horizontal strike. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

He was a born swordsman.

His achievements in the way of the sword even surprised Xiao Yi.

"Such power, this Li Changsheng already has the strength to slay an average Half-step Saint Emperor!" Xiao Yi nodded slightly, his eyes glinted with a hint of admiration.

He remained seated at the center of the ring.

Motionless.

This further enraged Li Changsheng, who had never been so humiliated before. His eyes turned icy cold as he let out a low growl: "Since you are so arrogant, don't blame me for being merciless under my sword..."

Swish, swish, swish!

The myriad of sword lights suddenly halted.

Then...

These sword lights, like shadows following a form, condensed into a peacock spreading its wings in mid-air.

Endless sword beams.

Like a peacock displaying its feathers, they frantically descended upon Xiao Yi.

Each sword edge was razor-sharp, raining down in the void like a torrential downpour.

Drizzle, drizzle.

Joining to form a sky curtain.

As the terrifying offensive was about to land on him.

Xiao Yi suddenly looked up.

From within his eyes, two piercing beams shot out.

With eyes as swords, he cleaved the sky.

Boom!

Two sword edges descended from above, while another surged upward.

Completely different energies collided in mid-air, unleashing a terrifying storm of destruction. When all settled, peace returned.

Yet...

On the vast ring.

Xiao Yi remained calm and collected.

As for Li Changsheng.

He was disheveled, stumbling as he got up from the ground, shaking off the dust on his face. Li Changsheng laughed heartily: "Good, good, no wonder you dare to set up this arena, you indeed have some skill. I, Li Changsheng, admit my defeat..."

As soon as he finished speaking.

Li Changsheng turned to leave for Xuanyuan Pavilion.

Defeat is defeat.

A swordsman doesn't fear losing.

However...

Just as Li Changsheng was about to leave, Xiao Yi's voice called out from behind: "You lost, but you haven't taken your reward yet!"

"Hmm?"

Li Changsheng paused.

Looking at Xiao Yi with puzzled eyes: "Reward? What reward?"

Initially, he was confused.

But soon recalled that Xiao Yi had mentioned even those who lost could receive his guidance.

Li Changsheng laughed heartily. From a young age, he was a genius and hailed from a prestigious background. Even having reached the pinnacle of the Saint King Realm, he had encountered no bottleneck or obstacle along the way. He didn't believe Xiao Yi could offer him any guidance, so he politely declined: "There's no need to trouble yourself. I currently sense no restrictions holding me back!"

After speaking, he prepared to leave.

Xiao Yi's lips curled into a slight smile, radiant: "Do you truly believe you haven't encountered a bottleneck? If I'm not mistaken, you've been at the pinnacle of the Saint King Realm for over a century. With the depth you've accumulated, you could step into the Saint Emperor Boundary. The only reason you haven't yet broken through is that you're unwilling..."

Clatter!

Li Changsheng froze in his tracks.

His body seemed struck by lightning.

Turning with difficulty, he eyed Xiao Yi in disbelief.

His eyes emanated a sharp light as if materialized sword edges, glaring at Xiao Yi, word by word he said: "What exactly are you trying to say?"

Xiao Yi said: "With your cultivation at the pinnacle of the Saint King Realm, would you be content to break through to the Saint Emperor Realm?"

Are you willing?

These simple few words sent shockwaves through Li Changsheng's heart.

For ordinary strong ones, breaking through to the Saint Emperor Realm was already pursued at all costs.

But why had Li Changsheng been stuck at the pinnacle of the Saint King Realm for a hundred years?

Isn't it because he's unwilling?

He wants to break the shackles of the Saint King and enter the Extremity Saint King Realm.

But...

Reaching the Extremity Saint King Realm is indeed difficult.

Outside of the peerless geniuses from the four dominant forces, it's rare for geniuses from ordinary Loose Cultivators or family powers to achieve the Extremity Saint King Realm.

After all.

Breaking through to the Extremity Saint King Realm requires not only talent.

It also demands boundless resources and opportunities, and a guiding hand.

Li Changsheng indeed came from a prestigious lineage and was a natural-born swordsman, but even his master was just a regular Saint Emperor Realm expert, never having touched the Extremity Saint King Realm.

Li Changsheng spoke with some dryness: "Do you… do you know how to break through to the Extremity Saint King Realm?"

Xiao Yi nodded, saying: "As I said before, just by stepping into the ring, even if you lose, you can receive a reward, this is no empty statement." Pausing, Xiao Yi added with an amused smile, "Li Changsheng, tell me now, do you still refuse the reward I offer?"

Li Changsheng's face went through shades of green and white, fluctuating.

He bit his teeth hard.

Li Changsheng said solemnly: "If you can really guide me to break through to the Extremity Saint King Realm, you will be a great benefactor to me, Li Changsheng. I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

He had waited for a hundred years to reach the Extremity Saint King Realm.

Always unable to find a way.

This time, coming to participate in the Xuanyuan Pavilion auction, he hoped to try his luck.

Unexpectedly, he really encountered an opportunity.

But...

This chance wasn't inside the Xuanyuan Pavilion; it lay with Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi smiled: "There's no need for that. Come over here…"

Li Changsheng immediately stepped onto the arena.

He had paid too much to reach the Extremity Saint King Realm. Even a subtle hope, he would pursue it with all his might.

On the ring.

Li Changsheng sat cross-legged before Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi said: "Empty your mind and follow my divine sense..."

Whoosh!

Li Changsheng exhaled long and hard, closing his eyes, Xiao Yi's divine sense led him into the sea of his Primordial Spirit.

The Extremity Saint King Realm.

It hinges on the word 'extreme.'

To break through into this extreme realm, the most important is to break the shackles, first by fundamentally shattering reverence for the extreme within the heart.

If in the heart exists the thought that the extreme is impossible to break.

Then it's impossible to ever step into this realm.

Li Changsheng indeed had exceptional talent, but ever since he began learning from his master, he often heard his master regretfully mention not reaching the Extremity Saint King Realm, always lamenting its difficulty.

Gradually, over time.

It caused Li Changsheng to also develop a fear towards the Extremity Saint King Realm, feeling it was an insurmountable realm.

Xiao Yi saw through this point.

Under his guidance...

He directly erased Li Changsheng's fear and reverence for the Extremity Saint King Realm at its root.

Instilling in him the notion that the Extremity Saint King Realm is nothing much.

"It's merely a small realm, just break through it!" Xiao Yi's voice thundered, causing Li Changsheng to suddenly open his eyes.

"Indeed, what is the Extremity Saint King Realm, it's just a minor breakthrough!"

As Li Changsheng's eyes snapped open, his Sword Intent burst forth.

Boom!

Li Changsheng's aura surged.

He had actually broken through the shackles of the pinnacle of the Saint King Realm and forcibly stepped into the level of the Extremity Saint King...
