Chapter 656: Human and Sword Become One

Xuanyuan Potian was already standing on the third step. His tall and strong body gave people a strong visual shock, as if he was looking down on the sky.

However, if you look closely, you will find that Xuanyuan Potian's body has begun to tremble slightly, as if he is fighting against some kind of force.

Xuanyuan Potian raised his right foot again and stepped towards the next step. In an instant, an extremely powerful storm force surged out of the void, crushing everything and bombarding him, trying to destroy his body.

"Kill!" Xuanyuan Potian shouted, veins on his arms emerged, and his strength surged again. He punched out, and the terrible force disintegrated the storm bit by bit, and his right foot successfully stepped onto the fourth step.

Without any pause, Xuanyuan Potian raised his left foot and, relying on his strong body, he managed to get to the fourth step.

The fourth step, successfully stepped on.

However, even though Xuanyuan Potian was standing on the fourth step, his body was shaking violently, like a leaf drifting in the wind, swaying.

Xuanyuan Potian's face was extremely ferocious, his eyes were bloodshot, his facial muscles were twisted, and his whole body was shaking, as if he was going to fall down at the next moment.

It was hard to imagine how powerful he was bearing.

"You should have seen that there is the power of wind in this pavilion. The nine steps are more powerful than each other, especially from the fourth step, the power increases exponentially." Ximen Guyan suddenly said.

Qin Xuan's eyes flickered. This pavilion was indeed not as simple as it looked. He couldn't help but respect Ximen Guyan more in his heart.

It was just a pavilion, but he transformed it into a place for cultivation, tempering his body with the power of wind attributes. His methods were so profound that they were awe-inspiring.

After a while, Xuanyuan Potian finally adapted to the power of the fourth step, stood steadily on the steps, and looked at the fifth step.

A hint of enthusiasm flashed in his eyes. He licked his tongue and raised his right foot again, as if he was going to challenge the fifth floor.

At this moment, Qin Xuan and others all showed a hint of tension on their faces. Xuanyuan Potian wanted to challenge the fifth floor. Could he succeed?

Xuanyuan Potian stepped towards the fifth floor with his right foot. Before he landed on the steps, a light blue light suddenly shone in the pavilion. In an instant, a storm that destroyed everything swept out and blasted down.

Xuanyuan Potian's expression suddenly changed. Before he could react, a violent force hit him. His chest seemed to be pressed by a huge stone. It was so heavy that he couldn't breathe.

The next moment, everyone saw a figure flying backwards from the steps and falling heavily on the ground, looking extremely embarrassed.

"Failed again?" Qin Xuan's heart trembled.

Xuanyuan Potian practiced the Xuanyuan Palace's body-refining method, but still stopped at the fourth level, which shows how difficult the fifth level is.

Ximen Guyan looked at this scene and nodded gently. Xuanyuan Potian's performance was already outstanding, as he stepped onto the fourth level on his first attempt.

"Ahem." A slightly weak cough sounded, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Xuanyuan Potian stood up with a dusty face, patted the dust on his body, and muttered: "Damn it, this broken step is so difficult to climb."

"..." Everyone was speechless for a while. They were originally worried that Xuanyuan Potian would be seriously injured, but now it seems that they were overthinking, and there was nothing wrong at all!

Of course, this does not mean that the power of the pavilion is not strong. After all, not everyone has a terrifying body like Xuanyuan Potian, with super strong recovery ability.

Xuanyuan Potian walked over here, his eyes swept over Qin Xuan and Jian, a hint of teasing flashed in his eyes, and he said: "Who will go first?"

Qin Xuan was about to speak, but Jian had already walked out first and walked straight to the pavilion. He was a little impatient when Xuanyuan Potian challenged him.

Seeing that Jian had already walked to the pavilion, Qin Xuan didn't say anything else, and still waited there. He was also curious about how far Jian could go.

"Father, where do you think Jian will stop?" Ximen Bingyue asked Ximen Guyan softly.

Ximen Guyan glanced at her lightly and said: "I don't know where he stops, but he must be better than you."

"So biased." Ximen Guyan said hatefully, turned his head directly, and was too lazy to say another word.

Seeing that Yan Qing had been silent all the time, Qin Xuan thought of what Jian had said to him before, and his expression became weird again. Could it be true?

"Hey, why did you suddenly become so quiet?" Qin Xuan said in a voice transmission.

"Wouldn't it be better to be quiet?" Yan Qing responded indifferently, but did not look at Qin Xuan.

"Okay." Qin Xuan said helplessly, and then looked at the sword.

The sword was very fast. When it came to the first step, a sword energy that rushed straight to the sky suddenly burst out from its body, and the sword whistled loudly, resounding in the air.

Obviously, he took a different path from Xuanyuan Potian. Xuanyuan Potian chose to climb the steps with his physical body, while he chose to open the way with sword energy.

The sword finger pointed forward, and the sword energy slashed forward, tearing the space, as if opening a path for him. He stepped out, as if stepping on flat ground, and walked onto the first floor easily.

"This..." Ximen Bingyue was completely dumbfounded. No way, how could he be so relaxed? Didn't they climb the same pavilion?

Ximen Bingyue looked at Ximen Guyan again and asked, "Am I your biological daughter?"

As soon as these words came out, Ximen Guyan's expression was stunned for a moment, staring at her, and said, "What do you think?"

"I don't think so. How can they be so strong? Am I really weak?" Ximen Bingyue said with some disappointment.

She originally thought that she was very talented and few people of the same age could compare with her. However, she found out today that there are indeed many people who are better than her.

Hearing Ximen Bingyue's disappointed words, Ximen Guyan's expression suddenly became serious, and he said solemnly: "You are arrogant and lazy by nature. When will you really practice seriously? Although talent is important, what is more important is the acquired practice."

Ximen Guyan's voice exploded in Ximen Bingyue's head like a bolt from the blue. She looked at Ximen Guyan with a blank look, as if she realized something.

She grew up with the halo of Ximen Guyan's pearl in her hand. She was ambitious but did not really focus on practice. Now she is not as good as others, which seems to be excusable.

"I know." Ximen Bingyue nodded gently, and unusually did not say much, but looked at the sword in front of her seriously.

Ximen Guyan looked at his daughter's expression, and a smile appeared in the depths of his eyes.

It seems that letting these little guys come here is the right thing to do, and finally this girl can be serious.

On the steps, a black-clothed figure moved forward with difficulty, surrounded by endless and terrible sword energy. A strong and boundless sword intention enveloped Jian's body, resisting the storm force coming from all directions.

The black robe fluttered, the sword intention vibrated, and the sharp sword whistles continued to come out from the void. Jian stood proudly on the steps. His thin body revealed a peerless style.

At this time, Jian also stood on the fourth step, looking at the fifth step. Although the distance between the two steps was extremely far, it seemed that there was an endless distance between them and he could never step on it.

Xuanyuan Potian looked at Jian intently. He had stopped at the fourth step before, and he didn't know if Jian could break through.

Jian stretched out his hands, and a white light shone in the air. The light was extremely dazzling and piercing. It was actually a sword.

Jian's sword was rarely shown in front of people, but at this moment, he took out the sword.

Jian's right hand stretched forward, holding the sword floating in front of him, with the tip of the sword pointed diagonally forward, and a very terrifying sword intent roared out, as if it had turned into a prehistoric beast, ferocious and terrifying, killing everything.

"Top-grade spiritual weapon!" Qin Xuan's eyes flashed with a light, and the sword in Jian's hand turned out to be a top-grade spiritual weapon, of very good quality!

Xuanyuan Potian sighed lightly and said with emotion: "If I had known this earlier, I would have also sacrificed the weapon, and maybe I could have struggled a bit."

"If you can merge with the weapon and the soul, you can indeed struggle a bit, but can you do it?" A plain voice came, and it was naturally Ximen Guyan who spoke.

After the words fell, Xuanyuan Potian suddenly became extremely embarrassed and sneered: "Don't mind, I'm just talking."

After Ximen Potian's reminder, Qin Xuan immediately understood something. When he looked at Jian again, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, as if he suddenly understood.

For the sword, the sword is not just a weapon, but more like a partner, a partner who depends on each other for life and death. The two have long been integrated into one, indistinguishable from each other, the man is the sword, and the sword is the man.

To reach this level, it is very difficult, at least Qin Xuan has only seen Jian do it.

With a loud sword chant, Jian's footsteps suddenly stepped forward, his momentum soared, and the sword in his hand burst into a brilliant sword light. The light continued to expand and enveloped Jian's body. At this time, the sword seemed to have truly transformed into a peerless sword, showing its sharp edge.

"Such a strong sword intent." Qin Xuan's heart was filled with shock. Jian was too strong at this moment. He truly achieved the fusion of man and sword, not just physically, but also soul.

"This boy is extremely strong and talented. If nothing unexpected happens, he will achieve extraordinary success in the future." Ximen Guyan said in his heart.

Jian was bathed in the endless glory of the sword, and his momentum was like a rainbow. He let the storms around him bombard his body, but he still walked forward. Finally, his right foot stepped on the fifth step, and then his left foot also went up.

When Jian stood on the fifth step, his momentum seemed to have reached a peak. He suddenly looked up to the sky and roared, as if he wanted to completely release the sword intent in his heart.

"It's just a monster." Xuanyuan Potian was shocked. Although he had held back before, Jian had also held back. If he really fought, he might not win.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and Jian's figure quickly retreated, but his expression was still calm, even calmer than Xuanyuan Potian.
