Seeking the Flying Sword Path

Chapter 430: That Ancient Skydragon from the West Sea

Translator: CKtalon Editor: CKtalon

The West Sea was vast to the point of seeming endless.

Qin Yun flew over it on a cloud but his mind was elsewhere.

The Dharmic formulation of condensing a sword immortal Essence Soul constantly surfaced in his mind, as he deliberated over it again and again.

The body was capable of accommodating mistakes. Even if a Dharmic formulation had flaws, one could still condense an Essence Soul. It was also why Dharmic formulations had different grades.

Qin Yun did not wish to create a sword immortal Dharmic formulation that could match the Grand Supreme Dao Ancestorʼs.

Even if it was a little weaker...

It was enough as long as he successfully condensed a sword immortal Essence Soul.

”Am I getting too caught up in the nitty-gritty details?” Qin Yun pondered over the Dharmic formulation as he constantly constructed it in his mind, making minute adjustments.

At this present stage, the general framework was set up. All he needed to do was give it some minor fixes.

...

As he flew, he deliberated over it.

”Oh? Iʼve reached the Ancient Skydragon Palace!” Qin Yun looked down when he sensed something. With a whoosh, he swooped downwards.

Hua!

He flew to the bottom of the West Sea.

He took the same familiar path into the Ancient Skydragon Palace. The same old Guardian General followed him with two golden hammers hanging by his waist. He joked, ”Human, you are here again. How many times have you come? Donʼt you fail another time.”

Although he said so, he was actually very astonished. After all, Qin Yun was able to achieve such potent strength despite being mortal.

”This is the final time,” said Qin Yun with a smile.

”Oh? You are really confident.” Guardian General was surprised but also impressed.

Soon, they arrived at the entrance to a corridor. It was the one that led straight into the middle of the Ancient Skydragon Palace. Qin Yun waved his hand, sending a wisp of misty rain flying out of his fingertip. It seemed to be burning like a meteor and, with a flash, it penetrated the various array formation seals at the entrance. The twenty-six layers shattered in a blink of an eye, much faster than Qin Yunʼs previous attempt when he used the Grotto-heaven Sword Calabash.

”That fast?” Guardian General could not help but twitch when he saw how fast Qin Yun was destroying the seals. ”Is he really going to obtain everything in the Ancient Skydragon Palace?”

”Boom!”

The meteor-like flying sword tore through the corridor and struck the surface of the distant palatial hall in the middle.

Layers of golden barriers rose across its surface. The Dreamlike Swordʼs seventh move, Stars Like Rain, only trembled for an instant before shattering one layer. It followed by shattering the second and third layer, its might decreasing drastically each time.

”I actually need to cast another strike,” thought Qin Yun.

The flying sword rose again as it cast Stars Like Rain once more.

After studying the various Dharma spells of the Blue Clouds Immortal Dharma, his Stars Like Rain was about fifty to sixty percent stronger than it was half a year ago.

This strike tore through the remaining three layers before the golden barriers could recover.

At the instant they were broken through, the flying sword spun around and dug into the core of the array formation. The central hallʼs array formation completely crumbled.

Following that, Qin Yun flew over.

”He succeeded?” the Guardian General looked at the scene in a daze as he watched Qin Yun casually fly to the central hall. ”Has the day His Majesty been waiting for finally come?”

******

Qin Yun had a faint misty shroud lingering around him. It was his most compatible Dharma spell from the Blue Clouds Immortal Dharma—All Heavens Cloud Shroud.

This was also a powerful Dharma spell ranked in the top three of the Blue Clouds Immortal Dharma. According to the Dharma spellʼs description, cultivating it to its most perfect state according to legend would match some of the more potent divine powers, allowing one to withstand the strikes of Golden Immortals or Buddhas! However... ordinary ninth firmament Skyimmortals could only cultivate the Dharma spell to a phenomenal success stage. The chances of reaching perfection were slim.

As Qin Yunʼs Dharmic powers were relatively weak, his casting of the All Heavens Cloud Shroud was only equivalent to the might of the Green Leaf Flying Sword casting the Cyclic Sword Flash.
