After the fusion of the Landscape Martial Soul and his soul had reached one hundred percent, it had brought peculiar changes, improving all aspects of Ling Xiao’s abilities.
First were the nine special abilities.
Analysis and Deduction, Production and Creation, Realm Templates, Martial Will, Martial Soul Clone, Devouring Battle Soul, Absorb True Essence, Nine Veins Spiritual Body, and Landscape Ruler!
All had been substantially improved.
Moreover, ‘Martial Will’ had turned into ‘Martial Path Law.’ This ability was relatively complex, so Ling Xiao needed to restudy it.
However, it made it possible to formulate certain laws in battle or cultivation, paying a certain price to achieve even more terrifying effects.
For instance, during cultivation, it was:
Price: no rest for two hours.
Effect: the cultivation speed will increase by 10% for two hours.
Naturally, this was a relatively simple law.
Another example, in battle was:
Price: get seriously injured by the opponent.
Effect: can instantly render the enemy’s strongest attack useless.
As for whether the law would have power or not, it needed to adhere to the great laws of the Profound Realm. The use of this ability would set off alarms.
Although the other eight special abilities had not changed qualitatively, they all had improved to some extent.
Secondly, Ling Xiao could always remain in his Enter Soul State. Moreover, his vision, analytical ability, reactions, and so on had substantially improved.
Now, he could even see through an enemy’s next move as well as quickly determining their weakness or flaws.
He had a field of vision far more than one-hundred miles and had x-ray vision spanning over ten meters.
Naturally, his x-ray vision would still be affected by true essence. If the other party used a true essence barrier, its range would naturally reduce.
The final point was that Ling Xiao could finally use the Landscape Martial Soul to fight.
In the past, he had been afraid of revealing its secrets, but now, things were different.
The Landscape Martial Soul’s power could actually be split up and used.
At present, he could borrow three powers: ‘glaciers’, ‘oceans’, and ‘mountains’.
He would externally manifest these three forms without calling the entirety of the Landscape Martial Soul. Like this, he didn’t need to be afraid of exposing it.
In any case, his Landscape Martial Soul and his soul had already completely integrated, so its aura was completely different from the Landscape Martial Soul other people were seeking. As long as the main body was not summoned, he didn’t need to worry.
After understanding his current abilities, Ling Xiao couldn’t help smiling.
He looked in the direction of the Moonlight Sect and then in the direction of the Heavenly Peak City.
He decided to visit Heavenly Peak City first.
He hadn’t returned for a long time, so he wondered what was going on at the Divine Sword Sect.
Thinking about it, back then when the Blue-Eyed Race had launched a war, Heavenly Peak City had become the first target. At that time, he had been powerless to take a look, but now, he didn’t want to miss it.
He had once considered moving the Divine Sword Sect to Hollow Cloud City and merging it with Lin Ze’s Hidden Dragon Battalion to form an even more powerful Divine Sword Sect.
However, he gave up later due to Wen Ben’s opposition, the City Lord of Hollow Cloud City.
Therefore, after the war, Divine Sword Sect returned to Heavenly Peak City and slowly developed there.
Although it was incomparable to those large sects, especially the twelve msin sects, when all was said and done, with White Cloud Great Master, a Transcendent Realm expert, overseeing things, it was reasonable for it to develop well.
However, when he arrived at the Divine Sword Sect, following the Divine Sword Sect’s disciples hunting on the edges of the Crouching Dragon Mountain Range, he found that the situation was not too good.
From the distance, he saw a group of people in front of the sect, making him subconsciously recall when the two big clans of Heavenly Peak City had cooperated with the Ren Race’s Ren guards to besiege the Ling Clan.
These people emitted dense killing intent, and their numbers were over ten thousand.
The most important point was that many of these people were actually soldiers from Hollow Cloud City who had the logo of the City Lord.
All these soldiers were martial artists; the weakest among them was a Rank Five Martial Vein martial artist.
The captain-level martial artists were actually Rank Seven Martial Vein Martial Masters, and the general-level were actually Rank Eight or even Rank Nine Martial Vein Martial Masters.
Although there were just a thousand such people, it was too much even like that.
He truly didn’t know what had happened during these two months. When had so many Martial Masters appeared in White Cloud Province?
Could it be because of the reappearance of the twelve sects?
Ling Xiao didn’t know whether his guess was correct, but he clearly understood the situation.
These people were definitely looking for trouble with the Divine Sword Sect. They were armed with powerful bows, crossbows, and other weapons. They could directly storm into the Divine Sword Sect at any time and massacre everyone.
Divine Sword Sect also appeared as if it was not easy to bully.
At this moment, all the disciples who had gone out to do tasks had already returned. Their numbers reached several thousand. They had a tight defense, with the sect as the fortress.
Shield, bows, crossbows, and spears were ready.
In this troubled time, Ling Wuhen, the Sect Master of the Divine Sword Sect, was trying his best to make this small and weak sect survive.
In the Divine Sword Sect, there were many Rank Seven Martial Vein Martial Master-level disciples and even Rank Nine Martial Vein Martial Master-level disciples.
Ling Xiao even saw Ling Yihang among them; he had finally become a pillar of the Divine Sword Sect.
Thinking about it, when Ling Xiao had left, hadn’t his cultivation been just Rank Five or Six Martial Vein?
Sure enough, because of the reappearance of the Landscape Martial Soul and the return of the twelve sects, many things had changed.
These martial artists, who had been unable to reach even the Martial Master level before, had awakened their martial souls and soared to the skies.
Although this speed was still far inferior to Ling Xiao and the others in the Moonlight Sect, it was still much faster than before.
Ling Xiao was very happy to see Ling Yihang. Although this fellow was just an Initial Rank Nine Martial Vein Martial Master now, and it was unknown whether he would be able to break through to the Transcendent Realm, this result was already pretty good.
After all, Ling Yihang’s aptitude was truly limited.
The Rank Nine Martial Vein Martial Masters stood at the forefront of the attacking troops with Wan Ben taking the lead.
Among them was actually Zhu Hua, Lu Xing, Die Wufei, Fei Liu, Fei Yu, and other Ren Race martial artists.
Wan Ben’s aura was very powerful. Ling Xiao could feel that he should have already reached Peak Rank Nine Martial Vein.
Merely, it was a pity that he hadn’t entered the sect, so he couldn’t get higher-ranked cultivation techniques. Therefore, it would be very hard if he wanted to enter the Transcendent Realm.
On the other side, the leaders of the Divine Sword Sect were Ling Wuhen, Ling Yihang, and the old man Ling Xiaotian.
Merely, it was unknown where White Cloud Great Master had gone.
Ling Xiao looked at the Divine Sword Sect but couldn’t see even his old master’s shadow.
He couldn’t help frowning. White Cloud Great Master had promised to protect the Divine Sword Sect. Why was he not in the sect?
Although he was puzzled, he couldn’t get to the bottom of this matter now.
He would ask Ling Yihang and the others after resolving this matter.
He wasn’t in a hurry because he wanted to see if the Divine Sword Sect could block Wan Ben without his help.
