Chapter 1892: 1892

Jiang Chen had never been bottlenecked by anything cultivation-wise since coming to Divine Abyss . Once inspiration hit, his breakthrough to sixth level empyrean was as smooth as ever . In less than ten days, he was able to stabilize his new advancement .



Sixth level empyrean increased his strength considerably in every area once again . Only after the breakthrough did he tally up his gains and losses from the fourth and the fifth palaces .

Each palace had given him something drastically different, though everything was extremely valuable . This time was no different .

He brought forth the Taiji Pisces Swords and laid them out in front of himself, extending his consciousness in intent communication . He was an expert on weapons in general, but he found the swords more and more intriguing every time he examined them .

“The taiji conceives two poles, which birth the four cardinals . Then come the eight trigrams, and hence the rest of creation . These swords must have been brought into being at the beginning of the celestial heavens . It combines the essences of yin and yang to enact the five elements and six connections . In short, they are anything but ordinary . Even the current me can’t accurately comprehend how much potential they have . ”

Jiang Chen was very pleased with the Taiji Pisces Swords . Though Mad Fiend had been true to his name, the old man wasn’t hard to understand after his inner world was laid bare . The young man was curious though, why the old expert hadn’t used the swords himself . Why had they been gifted to him?

Mad Fiend was the type of person that if he wouldn’t tell Jiang Chen the reason then, he never would .



The Taiji Pisces Swords emboldened Jiang Chen and increased his strength . The only thing that remained was for him to choose an appropriate sword technique to match . He never had a shortage of those .

He did need to pick one out very carefully this time though . A sword technique that fit the Taiji Pisces Swords had to embody a balance of yin and yang as well .

Any technique with a degree of finesse had its own style . There existed many tendencies: might, ferocity, and broad strokes; or trickery, complexity, and general sophistication .

Speed was another popular one . If one could overwhelm one’s opponent with alacrity, it was trivial to win any fight .

In short, good sword techniques that possessed a balance of two styles were hard to find . Only the most authoritative of martial masters could come up with something so different .

A technique that succeeded on this front would become an instant classic, towering above all the rest . It was quite possible such techniques didn’t exist in Divine Abyss at all . One or two would definitely be brilliant exceptions to the rule .



However, Jiang Chen did know of a few from his previous life in the heavenly planes .

So many geniuses had congregated in the wider world of his previous home . Any that arrived were the cream of the crop in their original planes – one-in-a-millions or rarer .


Their intuitions and martial dao levels were outrageous to imagine .

These geniuses usually commanded great power wherever they arose . That meant there wouldn’t be many survivors, which made the associated martial techniques scarce as well .

Jiang Chen searched his mind and discovered several appropriate sword techniques, eventually ending up with a single one .

The technique’s name was the Sword of Genesis, so named because it sought to materialize the notion of primordial conception, when yin and yang were first parted . Once a martial cultivator trained it to perfection, they would have a significant advantage in battle . Cutting down an opponent on their level would be easier than breathing .

The Sword of Genesis was a very high-level and elegant technique . Though it was designed for killing, it was much more classy and graceful than its more brutal peers .

Because of its difficulty, Jiang Chen had a hard time instantly learning it completely . His superior intuition would help him along, but his present level of actual cultivation was a concerning barrier .

The first thing he did was to mull over the method in his mind to analyze all its changes and potentialities .  Despite his edge in understanding, the technique initially defied him with sheer mystery . He would have to take it slow, one step at a time .

Still, he could jog along just fine .

As expected, the Pisces Swords and the Sword of Genesis were a perfect fit .

Time passed away as he engrossed himself in study .

After a month, he finally learned the opening move of the Sword of Genesis . The Taiji Pisces Swords amplified its strength to incredible levels .

Jiang Chen was greatly encouraged . “This opening strike is called the Yin Yang Twilight Slash . It certainly has the potential to blot out the sun . ”

He was overjoyed . He knew that he was only starting out with the technique, but he had a strong feeling that it would benefit him in unknowable ways in his future battles .

Though he had learned only one move, he was sure that he could cut down an advanced empyrean expert .

The practice of the Sword of Genesis would take far longer than a few days . Instead of thirsting for completion, Jiang Chen put away the Taiji Pisces Swords .

In its place, he took out A Comprehensive Guide to Pill Dao and flipped through it . He didn’t need any tomes on the topic, really . Though the book was written at a high level, it barely helped him at all theory-wise .

The principles behind the suspended runes were a different matter . He was particularly interested in them . If he could grasp their manner of creation, he would have an ability that others did not . In fights, this would provide him with an element of surprise .
