Chapter 940: Star Illusion Fire
"How is this possible?" Xiao Yi's face was filled with shock.
Yet, the two feelings of cold and heat in his eyes were indeed present.
Xiao Yi looked up at the Mystic Realm Stele before him.
The Martial Arts Text recorded within the Martial Arts Stele, along with the Martial Arts Knowledge contained, instantly turned into the simplest of knowledge.
"It truly is the Taiyin and Taiyang Eyes." Xiao Yi's eyes widened.
He was currently in a state of mind, capable of releasing Martial Arts True Intent, and he was aware of this.
This was because Martial Arts True Intent was realized through his own understanding.
But the Taiyin and Taiyang Eyes were an ability granted by the Ice Phoenix Sword.
Whether it was the Ice Phoenix Sword or the Fire Control Beast, both were Martial Souls, residing within the flesh.
In a state of mind, it should definitely be impossible to trigger Martial Soul abilities.
Therefore, when a Martial Artist's mind wanders, many methods cannot be used.
This is also why an astray mind is extremely dangerous.
Yet now, the Taiyin and Taiyang Eyes could still condense?
Xiao Yi couldn't comprehend it. It seemed to violate the rules of Martial Arts and Martial Soul.
"Never mind." Xiao Yi shook his head, dismissing further thoughts.
Time was limited, and now the most important thing was to comprehend this Martial Arts Stele and return to his body.
With that thought, Xiao Yi fully immersed himself in comprehension.
With cold eyes—one as deep as the abyss, the other fiery as flames—he slowly scanned the stele.
Wherever his gaze swept, all the profound and esoteric meaning of martial arts transformed into the simplest knowledge, absorbed through his comprehension.
After several more hours, Xiao Yi stopped his contemplation.
The entire stele had been thoroughly comprehended by him.
"Done." Xiao Yi smiled with joy.
The Martial Arts Inheritance of the Star Illusion Saint was naturally extremely difficult.
However, the Taiyin and Taiyang Eyes rendered it into the simplest Martial Arts Knowledge, allowing Xiao Yi to comprehend it swiftly.
The entire stele contained the Martial Arts Knowledge of the Star Illusion Saint's lifetime.
But if this knowledge was reduced to the simplicity of Mystic Realm Stele or Origin World Stele, it was easily and completely comprehended.
"Just how strong was the Star Illusion Saint?" Xiao Yi glanced at the massive stele before him, his eyes filled with shock.
Having fully comprehended this Martial Arts Knowledge, he naturally understood how astounding its level was.
Among all the Martial Arts Inheritances he had received, only the Martial Arts Level of the Fengxu King could likely compare.
Upon completing the comprehension of the entire inheritance, aside from gaining a vast amount of Martial Arts Knowledge, the most important was a Cultivation Technique.
The Cultivation Technique was called the Star Illusion Technique.
"Star Illusion Technique, Holy-grade Peak Technique." Xiao Yi couldn't contain his joy.
The term Holy-grade Technique, he learned for the first time from the memories left by the Star Illusion Saint.
Holy-grade Techniques transcend Heaven Rank Techniques, and only Infinite Sacred Realm experts qualify to cultivate such powerful techniques.
The strength of the techniques needs no further comment.
Additionally, the Martial Way practiced by the Star Illusion Saint was the Star Illusion Martial Way.
At the same time, he was also a Sword Dao Expert.
So, to be precise, the Star Illusion Technique could also be called the Star Illusion Sword Technique.
Concerning the fall of the Star Illusion Saint, the memories left on the Martial Arts Stele offer little detail.
For some reason, Xiao Yi had comprehended many Martial Arts Steles.
The Martial Arts Steles often retained these predecessors' remaining life memories.
But whether these memories were good or not, they were all incomplete or fragmented.
In the memories left by the Star Illusion Saint, it only lightly noted the reason he established Star Illusion City here and his demise.
The sole purpose of the Star Illusion Saint's arrival here was to seek the Star Illusion Fire.
The Star Illusion Fire is hailed as one of the most mysterious and formidable flames in the world.
Rumors say it only exists in the vast starry sky.
There are also rumors that it lies within this misty realm.
In the memories, the Star Illusion Saint gazed at the sky and had an epiphany, which led to his comprehension of the Star Illusion Dao.
Only afterward came the Star Illusion Sword Technique and his title of Star Illusion.
Before reaching the end of his life, the Star Illusion Saint wished to find the Star Illusion Fire.
Because only the true Star Illusion Fire could be his breakthrough opportunity.
Only with a breakthrough in Martial Arts Cultivation could one's lifespan be extended.
The clues to the Star Illusion Fire he sought in life were in this place.
Unfortunately, when the end of his life finally arrived, he still hadn't found the true Star Illusion Fire.
Having not broken through, he thus fell.
Before his fall, he established this Star Illusion City and Star Illusion Space.
"Star Illusion Fire, one of the world's most formidable flames." Xiao Yi was slightly delighted.
This could easily be his sixth formidable flame found in the world.
However, given that the Star Illusion Saint himself couldn't truly find it, Xiao Yi wasn't sure if he could locate it.
Everything depends on destiny.
Xiao Yi didn't dwell further, instead starting to cultivate the Star Illusion Sword Technique.
In his hand, the Cold Flame Sword appeared out of thin air.
He wielded the sword in slow movements, then gradually sped up.
The exquisite swordsmanship was performed flawlessly in his hands.
As the sword moved, starlight followed.
Where the sword struck, starlight pulverized forth.
The sword body was coldly white and chilling, the Sword Shadow biting cold.
Two hours later, Xiao Yi paused with his sword.
"Impressive." Xiao Yi praised.
But what delighted him the most was the harmony between the Cold Flame Sword and the Star Illusion Sword Technique.
Both were inexplicably cold.
Using the Cold Flame Sword to channel starlight greatly increased the power.
Xiao Yi stowed the Cold Flame Sword, suddenly closed his eyes, and contemplated.
This time, it took half a day before he opened his eyes again.
In his eyes, a sharp gleam shot out.
"Star Illusion Sword Formation, rise." Xiao Yi muttered.
The Cold Flame Sword in his hand reappeared out of thin air.
With the sword's release, a thousand rays of starlight surged forth.
The starlight transformed into swords, a thousand astonishing starlight swords flying and swirling around.
The Star Illusion Sword Formation was the most astounding gain in the Star Illusion Sword Technique.
"With this sword formation alone, even wielding the Blizzard Sword, I could easily defeat a Heavenly Extreme Late Stage expert." Xiao Yi murmured to himself.
He barely had Earth Extreme Peak Cultivation.
Previously, he relied on the amplification of two Ice Patterns and burning some Ice Mountain Fire Sea power to have the strength to challenge Heavenly Extreme Late Stage experts.
When holding the Cold Flame Sword, he even possessed the strength to instantaneously kill Late Stage Heavenly Extreme Realm experts.
But now, even wielding the Blizzard Sword, he had this kind of combat strength.
This is the might of a Holy-grade Peak Technique.
After training for a while longer, Xiao Yi completely stopped.
The reason the Star Illusion Saint could trace the true Star Illusion Fire had relied on his comprehension of the Star Illusion Dao, inherently perceiving it with his Martial Arts Power.
Xiao Yi also wanted to see if after comprehending the Star Illusion Dao himself, with his current abilities, he could sense anything.
Yet clearly, he sensed nothing.
It seems that to truly perceive the existence of the Star Illusion Fire, one must at least have the cultivation level of the Star Illusion Saint.
As he said before, everything depends on destiny.
If he lacks that destiny, it cannot be forced, especially since he lacks that level of strength.
Xiao Yi put away his sword, pondered a bit, and suddenly smiled.
"This subspace is actually a good place to quietly break through to the Heavenly Extreme Realm."
Indeed, he planned to break through to the Heavenly Extreme Realm here.
