Two Realms High Martial Arts: Gathering the Heavens to Become a Great Luo Immortal

Chapter 286 The Heavenly Cycle of Life and Death Sword, The Intent of the Dharma Body

Fifteen minutes later,

As Li Xijun's breathing became more focused, his mind had already reached a state of clarity.

Mu Sheng nodded slightly, then slowly stood up.

He didn't make any extra movements, just stood quietly beside the stone table, but his entire demeanor underwent a dramatic change in an instant.

The previous peaceful demeanor, like that of a boy next door, vanished abruptly, replaced by an unparalleled majesty, as if he were the ruler of heaven and earth, the embodiment of the laws.

He didn't look at Li Xijun; his gaze seemed to pierce through the barriers of this small world, turning towards the unknown forces of life, death, decay, and prosperity that constitute the universe.

"Watch closely."

The voice of the Wood Saint rang out calmly, yet it seemed to contain the immense power of words becoming law.

The next moment, this already peculiar little world of life, death, decay, and prosperity suddenly "came to life"!

It is not motion in the physical sense, but the laws it contains, which were forcibly triggered, manifested and interpreted by the Wood Saint with his own power!

At that moment, Li Xijun saw:

That vibrant half of the world, with countless exotic flowers and plants growing and blooming at a speed visible to the naked eye, instantly reached the ultimate prosperity of life. The fragrance of flowers was so rich that it was intoxicating, and the spiritual springs gushed forth like rainbows, as if condensing all the mysteries of "life" in the world into this place, performing the miracle of creation.

However, at the very moment when life reached its peak, silent annihilation descended. The splendid flowers withered and died at the same alarming speed, turning into dust; the lush vegetation lost all its luster, dried up, rotted, and collapsed with a crash; the babbling springs dried up, and the riverbeds cracked.

The ultimate life transforms into the ultimate death in an instant, without transition, only the heart-stopping and irresistible cycle of reincarnation!

Immediately afterwards, the half of the world that had been in a state of deathly silence began to change and be reborn.

Deep within the parched earth, tiny specks of green stubbornly emerge—seeds dormant for countless years, reborn under the nourishment of the power of reincarnation; on the withered stumps of giant trees, new buds sprout, containing a life force even purer than before; in the deathly still air, a faint, vibrant energy begins to permeate once more.

From absolute "death", a brand new "life" is born again!

This is not a simple change of scenery.

Li Xijun, relying on his Yin spirit at the Manifestation Realm, clearly "saw" the flowing, materialized true meaning of the laws within!

The laws of life are like billions of emerald threads, weaving the structure and vitality of life;

The laws of death, like countless dark runes, define the inevitability of end and annihilation;

The laws, which are completely different and even contradictory, do not exist in isolation under the control of the Wood Saint. Instead, they constitute a perfect and endless cycle.

Life ends and death begins; death leads to life; decay contains prosperity; prosperity inevitably leads to decay!

Under the great power of the laws, such true meanings are like giant gears, meshing tightly and driving the "Tao" of this world to operate eternally!

The power of the laws is vast and boundless. Just by observing them, Li Xijun felt his soul tremble, as if he were facing the origin of the universe.

That kind of mystery transcends words and thoughts; it can only be felt with the heart and understood with the spirit.

He became completely absorbed in it.

Within the sea of ​​consciousness, the Manifestation of the Holy Mind shone brightly, frantically imprinting, analyzing, and absorbing all the laws and trajectories it observed.

His extraordinary comprehension was brought to its peak at this moment, and countless insights and realizations about life, death, and reincarnation welled up in his heart like a spring.

At that very moment, the true meaning of the "Heavenly Cycle of Life and Death Sword Chapter," which he had struggled to comprehend but could not grasp, was unlocked by an invisible key, finally breaking free from its shackles!

The way that Mu Sheng interprets is more fundamental and more grand, encompassing the cycle of life, death, prosperity, and decay.

The "Heavenly Cycle of Life and Death Sword Chapter" condenses and presents this great Dao to the extreme in the form of a "sword"!

Through the supreme enlightenment of the Wood Saint's teachings, the "Sword Intent of Life" and the "Sword Intent of Death" that had always been separated in Li Xijun's mind began to merge and rotate at an unprecedented speed!

He "saw" that life and death are not opposites, but rather two sides of a cycle.

Death is not the end, but the beginning of new life; life is not eternal, for within it already lies the seed of decay.

A sudden realization dawned on me:

—To live towards death, the cycle of life and death continues!

[Your mastery of the "Heavenly Cycle of Life and Death Sword Chapter" has increased from 0% to 100%.]

The moment this thought crossed Li Xijun's mind, a long-awaited notification popped up in his vision: he had finally succeeded in cultivating the "Heavenly Cycle of Life and Death Sword Chapter".

"Buzz—!"

The Yin-Yang Reincarnation Sword, which had been silent in his inner universe, emitted a clear hum.

The sword marks contained the lifelong sword dao insights of the eleventh generation patriarch of the Life and Death Sword Sect, which surged into Li Xijun's sea of ​​consciousness like a flood bursting its banks. They perfectly merged and sublimated with the profound meaning of life, death, decay, prosperity, and reincarnation that he had comprehended from the Wood Saint's Dao.

It is no longer a simple transformation between life and death, but constitutes a complete cycle of life and death sword path belonging to Li Xijun!

He understood what "no heaven" meant—it was not about despising the heavens, but about transcending the simple rules of heaven and earth, defining a cycle of reincarnation with his own swordsmanship!

He understood what "reincarnation" meant—with a single stroke of the sword, the death of the living can be determined, and the life of the dead can be decided; life and death are determined by the heart, and reincarnation is within my control!

[Your mastery of the "Heavenly Cycle of Life and Death Sword Chapter" has increased from 0% to 100%.]

[Your "The Heavenly Cycle of Life and Death Sword Chapter" level has increased from Master 100% to Grandmaster 1%.]

[Your cultivation level in "The Heavenly Cycle of Life and Death Sword Chapter" has increased from 0% to 100% of the Celestial Realm.]

A brand new, sharp sword intent, imbued with the concept of eternal reincarnation, slowly rose from Li Xijun's body.

This sword intent no longer leans towards either life or death, but presents a chaotic gray color, with tiny cycles of life and death constantly arising and ceasing within it.

He even vaguely touched upon a sliver of profound mystery at the level of the Dharma Body, deeper within the Path of Reincarnation Sword.

That is the supreme realm in the true sense, where one opens the cycle of reincarnation with the way of the sword and controls the rebirth of all living beings in a region!

the other side,

Having just finished his sermon, and with the magnificent aura of laws surrounding him slowly subsiding, the Wood Saint hadn't even had time to suppress the injuries erupting within his body.

Almost the instant he subdued the laws, he immediately sensed the completely different change in Li Xijun's aura.

When he sensed that pure and complete sword intent of life and death reincarnation,

Even with his martial saintly composure, he couldn't help but show a look of shock on his face for the first time!

His demonstration of life, death, prosperity, and decline was intended to inspire Li Xijun, broaden his martial arts perspective, deepen his understanding of the laws of heaven and earth, and lay a solid foundation for future comprehension of those laws.

But he never expected that Li Xijun would be able to take this opportunity to directly comprehend a sword technique that was obviously extremely profound and pointed directly to the origin of life and death!

Furthermore, the progress of his swordsmanship was so steady that there was not the slightest fluctuation. Just as Feng Sheng had said, once he made progress, there was no regression whatsoever, which was completely beyond common sense.

Moreover, judging from its harmonious artistic conception, it is clear that the core essence has been thoroughly grasped.

This is no longer just applying knowledge to new situations; it's practically... creating a new method upon hearing the truth.

By borrowing from others, he instantly broke through one of his greatest martial arts barriers!

In Mu Sheng's deep eyes, a fierce light flashed. He looked at Li Xijun, who was still immersed in the afterglow of enlightenment, and a huge wave surged in his heart.

"So that's how it is... So that's how it is!" he murmured to himself. "In the end, Feng Sheng, Yan Sheng, and I underestimated this boy's talent and comprehension."

His potential is ten or even a hundred times more terrifying than we assessed!

"If this continues, perhaps... he really might find the path beyond Martial Saint even sooner than all of us!"

this moment,

The way Mu Sheng looked at Li Xijun was no longer that of someone looking at a promising junior.

It's more like looking at a future... fellow traveler, or even... leader!

Li Xijun slowly opened his eyes, the chaotic sword intent of reincarnation flashing in his eyes and then disappearing, returning to calm.

He looked at the Wood Saint and bowed deeply: "Thank you for your guidance, Senior. I have benefited greatly from it!"

Mu Sheng took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in his heart, and his face returned to calm, but the shock and expectation deep in his eyes could not be hidden.

"It's your own destiny," he said slowly, his voice carrying a complex meaning. "It seems your path is even broader than we imagined."
