Book 2: Chapter 90: The Third Realm of Strange Blade's Destiny



The Blackscale Phoenix Eagle, now having advanced in strength, still lagged behind the Ironscale Winged Beast in speed but was not too far off. It managed to keep up with difficulty. Sun Qiang, who had broken through in his cultivation, could now resist the astral winds on his own. Dao Li, however, was struggling. Still only at the Body Tempering Realm, coupled with insufficiently sharp hooves, it was on the verge of being blown away.

"Pouring tea and serving water isn’t wrong, but you can’t neglect your cultivation..." Zhang Xuan remarked as he saw the horse struggling to hold on and approached it.

“Neigh~!” Dao Li snorted, a hint of grievance flashing in its eyes. It had been trying hard, but it was, after all, just a horse. Progress couldn’t come as quickly for it as for others.

Understanding its frustration, Zhang Xuan looked down at the Ironscale Winged Beast beneath him and smiled faintly.

“Lend me a few drops of your essence blood...”

Though the beast didn’t know his intentions, it still nodded. A few drops of its blood floated out from its brow and landed in Zhang Xuan’s palm.

With a twist of his wrist, the Cold Nether Sword appeared in his hand. He tapped lightly in the air, and a sharp sword aura shot straight toward Dao Li’s heart.

Startled, Dao Li’s eyes went wide with fear. While it trusted its master not to harm it, the instinctive terror was unavoidable. Nevertheless, it stood still, enduring the fear.

Pfft!

A sword scar appeared, and Zhang Xuan flicked his finger. The essence blood he had collected earlier flew directly into the wound.

Dao Li immediately felt an overwhelming surge of power coursing through its heart, so potent that it seemed as if its body might explode. The immense energy spread throughout its body with each heartbeat.

“Lord Zhang, Ironscale Winged Beasts and Thousand Mile Horses are completely different species. Injecting essence blood like this might trigger rejection and lead to the horse’s death...” Min Jiangtao, watching this unfold, couldn’t help but exclaim, his voice trembling.

Even among humans, mismatched blood types caused rejection reactions, let alone two entirely different kinds of source beasts.

“It’s fine,” Zhang Xuan replied calmly.

What Min Jiangtao said was true; blood from different source beasts would naturally cause rejection. However, the essence blood had been purified into pure energy by his Heaven’s Path True Energy as it entered his palm. Any harmful properties had been eradicated.

As expected, once the essence blood entered Dao Li’s heart, its potent energy coursed through its body, accelerating its strength. Within a dozen breaths, it had broken through to the Meridian Unclogging Realm and soon after, to the Organs Easing Stage.

This technique of using bloodlines to enhance the strength of source beasts was something Zhang Xuan had frequently employed back on the Master Teacher Continent. Now, executing it again felt as natural as breathing.

For him, this was effortless. But to Min Jiangtao, it was a different story entirely.

This man could not only boost his own strength but also enhance that of source beasts... Such prowess was beyond imagination!

“Serve him loyally, and not only will your strength grow, but surpassing your teacher might not be out of reach!” A thought stirred in Min Jiangtao’s mind.

As a successor of the Mo Dao legacy, his talent was average at best. His original plan was to quietly cultivate under his teacher and hope to advance as his teacher reached new heights.

But now... his thoughts began to waver.

If Zhang Xuan could easily tame the Ironscale Winged Beast and help the Thousand Mile Horse advance, then perhaps... he could also deepen Min Jiangtao’s understanding of the Mo Dao Heaven’s Fate?

If, by chance, he broke through to the third stage, wouldn’t he have the qualifications to rival his teacher?

Who doesn’t aspire to grow stronger? Resolving himself, Min Jiangtao clenched his teeth and looked over. “Lord Zhang, I have a presumptuous request. Could you guide me on the Mo Dao technique? I feel like my cultivation has encountered some issues...”

“Of course,” Zhang Xuan replied without hesitation. Ever since he had reached the second stage of the Mo Dao, he hadn’t had the opportunity to study it in depth. Now that Min Jiangtao sought his guidance, it was a perfect chance for him to observe and learn.

“Thank you, my lord!”

Hearing his agreement, Min Jiangtao’s face lit up with excitement. With a flip of his wrist, a massive Mo Dao blade appeared in his hand.

The energy radiating from him was so powerful that even the Blackscale Phoenix Eagle below him involuntarily sank dozens of meters under the pressure.

Knowing the beast was struggling against the force of the blade aura, Zhang Xuan gave an order, “Move closer!”

The Ironscale Winged Beast obeyed immediately. Before long, Min Jiangtao stood before Zhang Xuan, while Sun Qiang and Dao Li had boarded the Blackscale Phoenix Eagle.

Whoosh!

The Mo Dao swept through the air, stirring the Heaven’s Fate Energy around them. The movements carried an extraordinary rhythm, displaying immense power.

Min Jiangtao’s understanding of the Mo Dao far surpassed that of Ling Buyang. Each move exuded a unique charm that even Zhang Xuan, who had reached the second stage of the Mo Dao, found challenging to comprehend.

Every Heaven’s Fate path was intricate and required time and effort to master. Even as the lord of a world, Zhang Xuan couldn’t possibly grasp it fully with just a glance.

Fortunately, he had his golden finger.

With a single thought, the 150 Destiny Disks sent by Fu Yingying shattered, unleashing a surge of Heaven’s Fate Energy into the Library of Heaven’s Path’s Mo Dao Flow.

The flow pulsed rhythmically like a living entity, growing increasingly robust and expansive.

As it transformed, Zhang Xuan’s ability to comprehend the Mo Dao deepened significantly. Moves that had seemed perplexing moments ago now became clear and easy to master. It was evident that the techniques would be even more powerful when executed by him.

The Mo Dao Flow in the library shuddered violently, expanding to double its size. Though still far from the level of Tidal Wave Momentum, this qualitative improvement was undeniable.

“Could this be the third stage of the Mo Dao Heaven’s Fate?” Zhang Xuan murmured in surprise.

Had he already achieved the third stage, barely after advancing to the second?

He turned back to Min Jiangtao, observing his blade technique. With his enhanced understanding, the flaws and inefficiencies in the movements became glaringly apparent, and he could even deduce improved variations to amplify their potency.

“It really works…” Zhang Xuan nodded with satisfaction, though he couldn’t help but notice the cost. In mere moments, he had consumed 20 Destiny Disks, equivalent to 200,000 streams of Heaven’s Fate Energy.

Creating the Mo Dao cost 50,000 streams, advancing to the second stage required 100,000 streams, and now the third stage demanded 200,000 streams. The energy expenditure doubled with each breakthrough.

“Would feeding it 400,000 streams allow it to advance to the fourth stage?” He pondered the possibility and decided to test it.

However, as the overwhelming energy surged toward the Mo Dao Flow, it remained unresponsive.

“Has it reached its limit?” Zhang Xuan frowned.

The Mo Dao Flow was akin to a river channel. While it could be filled with Heaven’s Fate Energy, overloading it beyond its capacity would cause it to burst.

The Mo Dao Heaven’s Fate, created by its founder Mo Baiye, had its limits set at the third stage. As a copy, the Mo Dao Flow in the library couldn’t exceed its original.

To go further, the river channel would need to be expanded, either by Mo Baiye or Zhang Xuan himself. Only then could it accommodate greater energy, enhancing the Mo Dao’s power.

That said, every Heaven’s Fate path had its inherent potential. No matter how much effort was invested, the limits were ultimately defined by its essence.

“Forget it. Since the Mo Dao Flow can’t absorb more, I’ll direct the energy to the Flowing Light Heaven’s Fate instead…”

Not wanting to waste energy, Zhang Xuan redirected the remaining 400,000 streams to the Flowing Light Heaven’s Fate. This Heaven’s Fate, acquired from Han Qianye, was a branch of spear techniques and had only reached the first stage after consuming 100,000 streams during its creation.

As it absorbed 200,000 streams, its form shifted, advancing to the second stage. However, it abruptly stopped, unable to absorb the remaining energy.

“Flowing Light’s channel is wider, so it shouldn’t have reached its limit. Why can’t it absorb more?” Zhang Xuan wondered, his gaze falling on Min Jiangtao’s blade technique. Suddenly, realization dawned upon him.

It seemed that advancing a Heaven’s Fate path required more than just sufficient energy. A deeper understanding and mastery of the path itself were necessary.

Even with the golden finger, forcefully upgrading the technique without comprehension was impossible.

“Lord Zhang, I’ve demonstrated everything I’ve comprehended. May I request your guidance?” Min Jiangtao sheathed his blade and looked at Zhang Xuan with anticipation.
