Jun Changxiao wasn’t idle either—he had already begun comprehending the incomplete scroll of the Seven Profound Radiant Light Breaker.
Although the secret manual emanated profound and mysterious principles, because it was only Volume One and of Initial Extreme-Grade quality, cultivating it was relatively easy.
“The way this incantation circulates is truly quite special,” Jun Changxiao murmured.
He had learned quite a few martial techniques from the Xingyun Continent through the Insight Talisman, and while the incantations were varied and peculiar, the methods of circulation and execution were actually quite similar.
The Seven Profound Radiant Light Breaker was very different from those.
The System said: “Different planes have different cultivation methods.”
“Let me try it.”
Jun Changxiao came to an open area in the back mountain. He calmed his mind, silently recited the incantation while beginning to circulate his Greater and Lesser Heavenly Cycles.
“Whoosh! Whoosh!”
Gradually, the elemental attributes hidden in heaven and earth seemed to be drawn in, then gathered in his right palm, taking on a crimson red appearance.
The so-called Seven Profound Radiant Light referred to communicating with heaven and earth’s elemental attributes to gather seven different colors.
Crimson red was the first color.
Clever students would certainly realize that the Seven Profound Radiant Light was nothing more than red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple.
According to the incomplete scroll, when crimson energy gathered to its extreme in one’s hand, it could be directly blasted out, instantly forming an energy wave similar to a shockwave.
“Huh? What’s Sect Leader doing?”
“His palm is gathering crimson light—could he be about to execute the Seven Profound Radiant Light Breaker?”
“Let’s go, let’s go watch.”
Disciples who were preparing to train in the Trials Tower immediately gathered around.
They had also been comprehending the Seven Profound Radiant Light Breaker, but were currently still at the research stage, so they hoped to benefit from watching Sect Leader execute it.
In a short time, over three hundred disciples had gathered in the open area. Li Qingyang, Xiao Zuiji, and others were among them, their eyes fixed without blinking.
“I can feel it.”
After circulating several Greater and Lesser Heavenly Cycles, the energy Jun Changxiao had gathered in his right palm had reached the highest level he currently comprehended.
“Step!”
Taking one step forward, he bent his body slightly.
His hands were positioned at his right waist, left palm and right palm crossing, with all ten fingers curved.
This posture—it was totally the Turtle School Energy Wave!
“So you need to strike a pose before executing it!”
“I thought you just gathered the power and pushed it out.”
“Good thing Sect Leader is demonstrating for us, otherwise we’d take many wrong turns.”
The disciples discussed in low voices.
Some even imitated Sect Leader’s appearance, striking a pose for executing the Turtle School Energy Wave.
In reality, executing the Seven Profound Radiant Light Breaker only required gathering energy in your palm and pushing it out—there was absolutely no need for poses. Sect Leader Jun purely wanted to fulfill a childhood dream.
Totally—not being reckless in youth would be a waste!
“Whoosh! Whoosh!”
The crimson flowing light gathered in his palms kept rotating between both hands, stirring up waves of wind.
Jun Changxiao’s hair danced wildly in the wind, revealing a handsome face that would make men fall silent and women weep when they saw it.
“Turtle…”
“Ptui, ptui, ptui.”
“Seven! Profound! Radiant! Light—”
His gaze sharpened as both hands slowly pushed forward. He shouted: “Breaker!”
“Swoosh!”
The crimson flowing light gathered in his palms instantly flashed with dazzling brilliance, then rapidly… extinguished!
Silence.
Complete silence across the field.
The disciples who had been eagerly awaiting this sight were stunned, their expressions frozen.
“What’s going on?” Jun Changxiao was also bewildered.
The energy had clearly gathered to its extreme, the incantation and meridian circulation had no problems—pushing it out should have worked!
Try again!
Jun once again condensed the crimson attribute, then struck the Turtle School Energy Wave pose, saying: “Seven! Profound! Radiant! Light! Breaker!”
“Swoosh!”
The energy gathered in his palms once again rapidly extinguished.
“…”
The disciples behind him felt their mouths twitching.
“Seven! Profound! Radiant! Light! Breaker!”
“Swoosh!”
“Seven…”
“Swoosh!”
“Breaker! Breaker! Breaker!”
Jun Changxiao continuously condensed it many times and pushed many times, but was never able to blast out the crimson energy. Frustrated to the point of madness, he said: “This damned broken thing!”
The disciples were speechless.
Did Sect Leader actually know how to do this or not!
The System couldn’t help but say: “Host, when you shout it, could you not draw out the sounds?”
“What?”
Jun Changxiao said: “I want to be a bit reckless—is drawing out the sounds not allowed?”
The System collapsed: “Then draw it out all you want—even if you push out diarrhea, you still won’t succeed.”
“Damn.”
Jun Changxiao once again circulated the incantation, forming the Greater and Lesser Heavenly Cycles, and gathered crimson energy in both palms.
“Seven Profound Radiant Light Breaker!”
This time, he didn’t draw out the sounds. The instant he pushed both hands out, he shouted the name.
As a result, the crimson energy flashed with brilliance, then formed a fist-sized beam of light that burst forth, trailing red radiance!
Swoosh——
The crimson light sped swiftly forward. Because it hugged the ground, it not only pulverized grass and trees but also carved out a long, deep furrow!
“Success!”
The disciples cried out in surprise!
“Boom!”
Just then, a boulder about a hundred meters away was viciously struck by the crimson beam trailing flowing light, and directly exploded into pieces!
“Heavens!”
The disciples’ eyes widened.
Blasting a boulder to powder wasn’t enough to shock them—after all, the Explosive Fist could do the same.
What shocked them was that Sect Leader was a hundred zhang away from the stone!
“Second Senior Brother!”
Su Xiaomo’s mouth twitched as she said: “This Seven Profound Radiant Light Breaker’s striking distance is way too far!”
Li Qingyang said gravely: “A very powerful martial technique!”
Standing beside the Trials Tower, Ye Xingchen thought silently: “It seems I need to go comprehend this Initial Extreme-Grade martial technique.”
He had been immersed in cultivating the Crimson Heaven Blazing Flame Slash and hadn’t found time to practice the Seven Profound Radiant Light Breaker.
Now, seeing Sect Leader execute it and strike so far, he realized that although this technique wasn’t high grade, it still had extraordinary aspects!
……
Actually, when executing the Seven Profound Radiant Light Breaker, even without recklessly shouting out the technique’s name, as long as one maintained absolute focus, it could still be executed.
Jun Changxiao had previously been showing off trying to realize his childhood dream, and each time he drew out the technique’s name, he would inevitably be a bit distracted, which was why he repeatedly failed.
However.
Today’s actions successfully led the disciples astray.
After they successfully cultivated the Seven Profound Radiant Light Breaker, whenever they executed it, they would invariably assume a horse stance with both palms pressed to their waist.
Thus, for the following period of time, through a long shot, we could see in the back mountain clearing disciples making movements similar to executing the Turtle School Energy Wave.
The scene was beautiful, and also quite reckless.
Of course, undeniably, with the addition of these two martial techniques, the Tiegu Sect’s martial technique library had become much richer.
Li Qingyang, Xiao Zuiji, and others, besides using Explosive Fist and Mountain-Opening Palm for close combat, would rely more on long-range techniques when facing enemies.
Newly admitted or outer sect disciples still mainly focused on cultivating fist and palm techniques, because martial techniques like the Crimson Heaven Blazing Flame Slash were too low-level—even if cultivated to completion, it would be difficult to have enough spiritual energy to supply them.
……
“Phew!”
Sitting in the Sect Leader’s seat in the great hall, Sect Leader Jun murmured: “Now I’m just waiting to go participate in the Huashan Martial Tournament.”
“Sect Leader.”
Elder Wei walked in and said: “There’s another strange phenomenon rising in the mountains!”
“What?”
Jun Changxiao hurriedly stood up.
Coming to the medicine garden, he saw that around the Isolation Array in the distance, seven-colored radiant elemental attributes were appearing again.
Stronger and more concentrated than last time!
“Elder Wei.”
Jun Changxiao said: “What’s going on?”
The spiritual energy revival location had clearly been sealed off by his Isolation Array—how could it still appear in other areas?
Elder Wei said gravely: “If I’m not mistaken, the day of Tiegu Mountain’s spiritual energy revival is drawing near.”
“Such a conspicuous phenomenon will definitely be seen by outsiders.”
Jun Changxiao considered briefly and said: “We must quickly expand the Isolation Array’s range—there can’t be any leakage.”
“Swoosh!”
With one leap using Cloud-Stepping Movement, he flew twenty to thirty zhang.
After several bounds, he stopped in the area filled with seven-colored radiant light and began expanding the Isolation Array!
