Starting as a Grandmaster, all of my cultivation techniques are at max level.

[Congratulations, host, on receiving the mission reward: Three Blades of Avici Hell (Entry-level), sixty years of cultivation.]

"System, use your twenty years of cultivation to deduce the 'Three Blades of Avici Hell'."

[Command confirmed. Consuming twenty years of cultivation, beginning the deduction of the 'Three Blades of Avici Hell'...]

In an instant, Xia Jin's mind sank into a chilling illusion filled with the intent of a sword.

"In your first year, you obtained the introductory chapter of 'The Three Blades of Avici Hell.' To cultivate enough killing intent, you joined the border guards and spent your days killing and killing, sharpening and re-sharpening your blades."

"In the fifth year, you have achieved the feat of killing ten thousand people. With just a glance, you can frighten away martial artists at the Acquired Realm. Your colleagues in the army privately call you 'Asura Demon,' and wherever you go, there is complete silence."

"In the tenth year, border battles were no longer enough for you. You took up your sword and began to challenge the major sects. Within a year, you destroyed sixteen major sects in succession, and your Three Blades of Avici Hell reached the minor mastery level. Wherever your sword pointed, bloodshed followed. The martial world trembled at the mere mention of your name."

"In the fifteenth year, all the martial arts sects joined forces, and the six grandmasters attacked together, forcing you to the brink of despair. You fought fiercely for three days and three nights, finally burying the six corpses there, and the Three Blades of Avici Hell reached their peak. In that battle, the cliff was stained with blood, and the heavens wept for three days."

"In the twentieth year, you sat quietly by the great river for three months. Suddenly one day, you rose, drew your sword, and with one stroke you severed a mountain, and with another you cut off a river. You had reached the Great Perfection of the Three Strokes of Avici Hell."

"Deduction complete..."

Xia Jin slowly opened his eyes, a flash of blood-red blade light appearing in his pupils. He didn't move, but merely with a slight thought, an invisible blade intent, refined to its extreme, shot out from his eyes.

"laugh--!"

Before the renowned hard jade bed, a neat crack several meters long and half a foot deep, silently appeared on the solid ground, which was made from a single piece of blue granite. The cut was as smooth as a mirror.

"What a magnificent Three Blades of Avici Hell! Even at the beginner level, it's already extraordinary; this Great Perfection realm is practically divine!" Xia Jin's eyes gleamed brightly, satisfied with its power, but also filled with a burning desire to try it out.

"However, the power of this sword technique is closely related to one's own cultivation level. I'll test the true power of these Three Swords of Avici Hell after I've used up the remaining forty years of my cultivation to advance my cultivation realm!"

He didn't delay and focused his mind on the system again.

"System, use the remaining forty years of cultivation to deduce the Nine Revolutions Creation Scripture!"

[Command confirmed. Consuming forty years of cultivation, beginning the deduction of the 'Nine Revolutions Creation Scripture'...]

"In the first year, you used the Nine Revolutions Creation Scripture to reshape your Ren and Du meridians, making them several times stronger than before. Your internal energy surges like the Yangtze River, without any stagnation."

"In the tenth year, you successfully broke through the first level of the third stage of the Nine Revolutions Creation Scripture, and your martial arts cultivation broke through from the ninth level of the Grandmaster Realm to the first level of the Great Grandmaster Realm. The acupoints throughout your body resonated, drawing in the primordial energy of heaven and earth, and you officially stepped into the pinnacle of mortal martial arts."

"In the twentieth year, you successfully broke through the second level of the third stage of the Nine Revolutions Creation Scripture, and your martial arts cultivation advanced from the first level of the Grandmaster Realm to the third level of the Grandmaster Realm. Your true qi has become more refined and shows a faint tendency to liquefy."

"In your thirtieth year, you successfully broke through the third level of the third stage of the Nine Revolutions Creation Scripture, and your martial arts cultivation advanced from the third level of the Grandmaster Realm to the fifth level. Your internal organs have been tempered and are now shining brightly, and your vitality is as powerful as a ferocious beast."

"In the fortieth year, you successfully broke through the third level of the Nine Revolutions Creation Scripture, and your martial arts cultivation level broke through from the fifth level of the Grandmaster Realm to the seventh level of the Grandmaster Realm."

[Deduction complete! The Nine Revolutions Creation Scripture has advanced from the second revolution, ninth level, to the third revolution, fourth level! The host's realm has also increased accordingly!]

In reality, Xia Jin, who was sitting cross-legged on the cold jade bed, trembled slightly, and an indescribable terrifying aura suddenly erupted from his body!

Grand Master Realm, seventh level!

In a short period of time, he broke through several barriers and reached the advanced stage of Grandmaster! If such progress were to spread, it would be enough to make all the martial artists in the Eastern Xuan Continent despair.

Xia Jin stood up, a surge of domineering pride welling up within her.

"It's time to test my power now," he muttered to himself, his gaze drifting outside the room.

With a flick of his wrist, a fine steel longsword on a distant weapon rack was drawn from its sheath with a clang and instantly fell into his hand.

Xia Jin casually swung her first blade upwards.

The first of the three swords of Avici Hell—Severing Karma!

A condensed, almost transparent blade aura shot out silently from the blade.

However, the next moment——

"BOOM!!!"

In an instant, a huge crack appeared on the sturdy roof of the Prince Jin Palace, stretching for tens of meters and more than ten feet wide!

The moonlight and the night breeze poured in without any obstruction.

The blade's energy pierced through the roof and shot straight into the sky, causing a deep, thunderous roar in the high night sky, as if a hole had been punched in the sky!

The entire palace was instantly alarmed!

Countless guards emerged from all directions, looking around with suspicion and uncertainty, as if facing a formidable enemy.

"What was that thunder just now?!" Xia Yu, the emperor, was suddenly awakened from his sleep in the middle of the night. He quickly got up and looked out the window, but found nothing.

"Hmm!? Strange, could it just be a normal clap of thunder?" Xia Yu shook his head with a smile and lay back down.

Xia Jin, who had just unleashed the first strike, stepped out into the spacious courtyard outside the palace.

He looked up at the bright moon in the night sky, which was covered by thick clouds, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

The second strike—severing ties with the mortal world!

With a flick of his arm, a dark red blade of light shot into the sky, carrying boundless killing intent.

Without a sound, the thick, continuous clouds in the sky seemed to be torn apart by an invisible giant hand!

The clouds on both sides of the crack swirled and retreated, and the moonlight in the sky was no longer obstructed, its clear radiance shining everywhere, illuminating the entire palace as bright as day!

This strike cleaved through the clouds.

"It has such power! The power of this strike has probably exceeded the limit of the Grandmaster realm!" Xia Jin was also startled when she swung the second strike.

However, he did not unleash his most terrifying third strike—the Avici Passage.

It wasn't that he couldn't, but rather that he didn't need to. The power of the first two strikes had given him a clear understanding of his current strength. He was satisfied.

"Hahahaha!" Xia Jin sheathed her sword, stood up, and laughed loudly.

He turned around and went back into the room, throwing the long sword back onto the weapon rack.

At this moment, Wei Gonggong, who was awakened by Xia Jin's first slash, was so frightened by Xia Jin's second slash that he was terrified out of his wits, and his face turned ashen.

He witnessed the second stab almost the entire time.

Although the slash wasn't aimed at him, the faint trace of killing intent it emitted made him feel as if he were being targeted by a prehistoric beast.

It wasn't until Xia Jin sheathed his sword and burst into laughter that he felt the terrifying pressure recede like a tide, his legs went weak, and he almost collapsed to the ground.

After a long while, Eunuch Wei finally came to his senses and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"Master...Master's strength...just how far has it reached? That strike just now...even a Grandmaster...a peak Grandmaster...I'm afraid, I'm afraid they couldn't have executed it so casually!!"
