X-Dragon Era

Listening to Ming Xuan recite without missing a word, Xin Yun nodded and said, "Ming Xuan, although you have become stronger now, this strength is only relative to your past self and to ordinary martial artists. No matter what... I hope you will not discard everything from the past, and you will continue to work hard, strive, and not become complacent and arrogant because of the achievements you've made."

Upon hearing Xin Yun's words, Ming Xuan was momentarily stunned, then he chuckled and shook his head, "No... I definitely won't. You all have always been so strong, but I have never seen any signs of pride or arrogance in you. As the saying goes, 'Birds of a feather flock together, and people are known by the company they keep.' Since we're all part of this little team, how could I possibly do something so unworthy?"

"Hahaha..." Hearing Ming Xuan's response, Xin Yun burst into hearty laughter. Indeed... as the saying goes, 'One takes on the color of one's company.' Ming Xuan didn't make such a mistake in his previous life, and now, influenced by the three of them, it's even less likely.

After the laughter, Xin Yun's face became serious again, and he said earnestly, "Through this matter, everyone should realize the importance of fundamentals. It's not just about the past or the present, but also the future. We must not overlook the training of our fundamentals. Every combat technique is made up of basic elements, and the better we grasp the basics, the easier it is to master advanced techniques." Explore more adventures at My Virtual Library Empire

Foundations are bricks, and every building is built by stacking bricks on top of each other. No matter how big or tall a building is, when broken down, it is still made of bricks. With sturdy bricks, what kind of building can't be built?

Having stressed the importance of fundamentals, the four of them once again started a tumultuous battle, fighting until they were utterly exhausted before stopping. It's worth mentioning that this underground space was not the one designated for the three of them but another one they found, a vast space spanning over ten kilometers, more suitable for fighting and training.

As for the original space, it was designated for Xin Yun, Yi Luo Xiang, and Yan Qingying. Besides the three of them, even Ming Xuan was not allowed to enter.

After the training, Xin Yun and the others left the underground space and returned to the villa. After cleaning themselves up, Xin Yun pulled everyone into the small living room, where they drank the floral tea prepared by Mother Lan. A lot of things were time to be discussed.

Inside the small living room, Xin Yun took a contented sip of the fragrant tea, sighed in satisfaction, and then gently put down the cup. He smiled at Ming Xuan and said, "How is it? Feeling great, aren't you?"

Moving the tea cup away from his lips, Ming Xuan smiled and nodded, "Yes, it's good... really good. Never before has my life felt as full of hope as it does at this moment. It's almost like a dream."

Smiling and nodding, Xin Yun pulled out a scroll engraved with the Taiji Diagram from his chest and gently placed it on the table. He smiled and said, "Although you've been the protector of the gang all this time, I've never given you the gang's token. I hope... you won't hold it against me?"

"Hehe..." Ming Xuan smiled and shook his head, saying, "Even though you never mentioned it, I've actually understood for a long time. If you had given it to me two or three years ago, I would certainly have become dependent on it, neglecting my foundational training. The scariest part is that even after advancing, I might have experienced a decline in ability due to that dependency. External items... after all, should not be relied upon. One's own strength is what's most important!"

Listening to Ming Xuan's analysis, Xin Yun nodded with satisfaction. Then, with a wave of his right hand, the Pangu Banner, Taiji Diagram, Chaos Bell, and the Zhu Xian Four Swords neatly appeared on the coffee table. Seeing this, Yi Luo Xiang, Yan Qingying, and Ming Xuan couldn't help but look puzzled—what was this for?

Seeing the bewildered looks of the three, Xin Yun couldn't help but smile. Over the past two or three years, Xin Yun had been absorbing information from the Sky-opening Axe's Axe Soul, learning many things.

Although Xin Yun's dream was to have the Taiji Diagram underfoot, the Chaos Bell hanging overhead, the Zhu Xian Four Swords circling around him, and holding the Pangu Banner, in reality, such a dream was probably unattainable unless Pangu himself was reborn; otherwise, no one could truly accomplish this.

Not to mention anything else, just the Zhu Xian Four Swords alone—if you wanted to unleash their full power, it wasn't something one person could do, not even a saint. Even the Leader of Tongtian, the original owner of the authentic Zhu Xian Four Swords, needed four disciples of at least the Golden Immortal level to wield one sword each, forming the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation. Otherwise, they couldn't be activated!

Though the Zhu Xian Sword Array is claimed to be indestructible unless the Four Saints are present, in practice, it requires many conditions to use. For day-to-day combat, the Leader of Tongtian wouldn't use these swords—not that he didn't want to, but he couldn't! If used individually, these swords might not be stronger than other individual magical artifacts. Only when used together do they form the invincible Immortal Slaying Sword Formation!

Once the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation is deployed, it is said to be indestructible unless the Four Saints are present. However, if just the Zhu Xian Four Swords themselves are not in formation, their power is greatly reduced, not even as strong as the Leader of Tongtian's Green Sword. In a way, these Zhu Xian Swords are indeed powerful; however, the requirements for their use are far too cumbersome.

Take the All-Heaven Divine and Evil Formation, for example. Although claimed to be the number one evil formation on heaven and earth, it still can't be easily formed. It doesn't require saints to preside over it, but it does require at least twelve cultivators of Quasi-Sect Master Level to join hands to activate. That's not a low requirement at all. Scour the entire world, and there are only that many at the Quasi-Sect Master Level. With the death of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, the All-Heaven Divine and Evil Formation can no longer be activated.
