Immortality Starts With Ignorant Heart Sword Art

Chapter 126: The Mighty Heaven and Earth Eight Trigrams Diagram

Before the battle with Yan Lingdie, Zhong Cang looked for his senior sister, wanting to personally thank her. Unfortunately, although Zhong Cang found her, she was holed up in her own house and refused to come out. This forced Zhong Cang to express his gratitude through the closed door.

Upon returning to his humble island, Zhong Cang was surprised to find a simple yet elegant bamboo house on his makeshift island. In that instant, Zhong Cang knew that his senior sister had built it while he was unconscious. This touched Zhong Cang deeply and made him think about how to repay her.

"Should I find a way to make my senior sister interact more with others and overcome her fear of people?" This thought didn't linger in Zhong Cang's mind for too long.

"Forget it, not everyone enjoys socializing..." Unable to find a method of repayment for now, Zhong Cang decided to stop thinking about it and instead focus on the present. He still had plenty of time with his senior sister, no need to rush.

At this moment, Zhong Cang was more excited about how the Heaven and Earth Eight Trigrams Diagram would perform in this battle.

On the other hand, Yan Lingdie was also brimming with confidence.

"After being apart for three days, it's time to see each other with fresh eyes, Zhong Cang, I am no longer the same as before!"

"This is also what I wanted to say."

With those words, Zhong Cang and Yan Lingdie found an open space and stood on opposite sides, preparing for battle.

"Boom..."

Just like before, as soon as Yan Lingdie made her move, flames burst forth from her body, forming a blazing armored warrior by her side.

This armored warrior stood at a towering height of three meters and six, a result of Yan Lingdie's cultivation reaching the fifth level of Qi Refining.

While she summoned the Brilliant Flame Heavenly Spirit, Zhong Cang also began his own actions.

Without drawing his sword, Zhong Cang emitted an indescribable aura as he took a step forward.

"Buzz..."

With each step, countless cloud-like patterns resembling ancient symbols appeared all over Zhong Cang's body. These patterns emitted a faint glow, making Zhong Cang appear ethereal.

At the same time, whether it was an illusion or not, Yan Lingdie felt a sense of vibration in the heavens and earth as Zhong Cang took that step.

In addition, an illusion of the Eight Trigrams formed by the cloud-like patterns spread out from under Zhong Cang's feet, expanding into the surrounding land and empty space.

This sudden scene caused Yan Lingdie's expression to freeze.

However, as she observed her surroundings, she did not notice anything unusual.

Instead, she saw that Zhong Cang had only taken a step forward and had not drawn his sword.

This behavior of being underestimated made the confident Yan Lingdie a little angry.

"Putting on airs!"

With a cold snort, from a distance, she commanded the Crimson Armored Heavenly Soldiers to wield the Burning Fire Heavy Sword and slashed towards Zhong Cang with a sword swing from afar.

"Boom!"

Due to the twenty-meter distance, the heavy sword swing naturally couldn't reach Zhong Cang.

But when the Crimson Armored Heavenly Soldiers swung their swords in anger, flames and sword energy shot out from the burning fire heavy sword, slashing heavily towards Zhong Cang.

This attack also made Zhong Cang's eyebrows raise slightly.

He could feel that Yan Lingdie's attack was not purely flames, but also contained the essence of sword energy.

Obviously, when she was away from him, Yan Lingdie did not stop progressing. Instead, her swordsmanship had made significant progress.

Of course, this attack had not reached the realm of a sword master.

"Using the power of flames as the main focus, rather than sword energy... You have only touched the threshold of a sword master. To cross it, you will need at least two or three years of practice. However..."

"At the fifth level of Qi Refining, reaching the threshold of a sword master, your progress is indeed remarkable. No wonder you are so confident."

"Unfortunately, you have encountered me..."

Facing the incoming attack, Zhong Cang, who had activated Heavenly Heart, remained indifferent. He calmly raised his right hand and aimed at the flying flame sword energy.

"Buzz..."

Along with Zhong Cang's movement, a special aura descended upon the flame sword energy. Then, Yan Lingdie widened her eyes as she saw the sword energy she had launched become slower and... rounder due to Zhong Cang's raising hand.

By the time the sword energy flew in front of Zhong Cang, the sharp sword energy had turned into a red flame ball due to Zhong Cang's virtual grip.

And this flame ball was like a marble, casually played with by Zhong Cang.

"?!!"

"Impossible, this is my mana!"

The extremely shocking scene made the still young Yan Lingdie somewhat unable to believe it.

In response to her words, Zhong Cang simply said, "Your mana? Then take it back."

As he spoke, Zhong Cang flicked his finger lightly.

"Sizzle..."

With Zhong Cang's flick, the red flame ball shot back towards Yan Lingdie like a cannonball.

And halfway through, the round flame ball elongated, transformed, and in a short time, it turned into a flaming flying sword.

Feeling the danger warning in her heart, Yan Lingdie finally realized that her 'attack' had turned against her.

At this moment, if this flaming flying sword were to shoot at herself, it would definitely blast her into serious injury.

However, even though she felt threatened, the counterattack that came back did nothing more than anger Yan Lingdie, without causing her any fear.

Her Brilliant Flame Heavenly Soldier had extremely strong protection against flames. Although this flaming flying sword had extraordinary power, like a real cannonball, she was confident that her Brilliant Flame Heavenly Soldier could easily block this attack.

As a proud princess, Yan Lingdie had a strong competitive spirit.

Therefore, in response to Zhong Cang's casual remark just now, she remained motionless, prepared to let the flaming flying sword attack her.

And then, tragedy struck.

Yan Lingdie's Brilliant Flame Heavenly Soldier was indeed able to withstand the explosive attack of the flaming flying sword.

But just as she quietly waited for the attack of the flaming flying sword to arrive, Zhong Cang extended his palm and suddenly grabbed Yan Lingdie's Brilliant Flame Heavenly Soldier.

"Buzz..."

With Zhong Cang's grabbing motion, Yan Lingdie's face instantly turned pale. She was horrified to discover that under Zhong Cang's grasp, her Brilliant Flame Heavenly Soldier was actually slipping out of her control.

"?!!"

"Impossible!"

She couldn't believe everything that was happening, but no matter how she tried, the Brilliant Flame Heavenly Soldier was rapidly slipping out of her control.

Seeing this, Yan Lingwei quickly focused her mind, intending to compete with Zhong Cang for control of the Brilliant Flame Heavenly Soldier.

This approach achieved some results.

After all, the Brilliant Flame Heavenly Soldier was ultimately summoned by Yan Lingdie, and the magic that composed it was filled with Yan Lingdie's intentions.

All of these factors slowed down the speed at which the Brilliant Flame Heavenly Soldier was slipping away.

Yes, it was only slowing down, not stopping or being regained by Yan Lingdie.

There was no way, the gap between their mental and spiritual abilities was too great.

Not to mention that Zhong Cang's mental state was also blessed by the Heavenly Heart, which made the quality of his mental intentions one level higher than Yan Lingdie's.

With a large quantity and high quality, Yan Lingwei could only watch helplessly as her painstakingly condensed Brilliant Flame Heavenly Spirit was snatched away by Zhong Cang.

"Give it back to me..."

"Boom!"

Before Yan Lingdie could recover from the blow of having her spell taken away, the explosive flaming flying sword had already arrived in front of her and exploded.

Fortunately, Zhong Cang still had some consideration for their past relationship. Under his control, the flying sword only exploded in front of Yan Lingdie, leaving her in a somewhat embarrassed state without actually hitting her.

However, although this attack didn't harm her physically, it shattered her mentality.

Also shattered was Zhong Cang's mentality, who had returned from the Heavenly Heart realm.

"Heaven and Earth Eight Trigrams Diagram is so powerful!"

Yes, even Zhong Cang himself didn't expect that he would become so powerful in the realm of gossip.

In the previous duel, Zhong Cang had a feeling that he could control the heavens and the earth with just a wave of his hand.

Although this feeling was a sudden surge of power, it was just an illusion.

However, even if he couldn't control the heavens and the earth, within the realm of gossip, as long as the enemy's spells were within the range of the heavens, earth, wind, thunder, water, fire, mountains, and marshes, Zhong Cang could forcefully dominate them using Heavenly Heart.

This ability, which can be considered a spell prohibition barrier, is even stronger than that. The spell prohibition barrier can only prevent the release of spells, but when Zhong Cang's gossip realm is activated, the enemy's spells directly become his.

"Am I invincible?"

This was the first feeling that Zhong Cang clearly felt after realizing his abilities.

However, soon he shook his head and rejected this idea.

After the Heaven and Earth Eight Trigrams Diagram is activated and everything is controlled by Heavenly Heart, this ability is indeed very strong.

But first, the things that Zhong Cang can control with Heavenly Heart need to be limited to the heavens, earth, wind, thunder, water, fire, mountains, and marshes.

After all, although gossip can derive everything, Zhong Cang has not reached that level yet.

Secondly, Zhong Cang's ability to control Yan Lingdie's spells is due to the difference in their spiritual consciousness. If they were at the same level or if the enemy's attacks were very condensed, Zhong Cang's control would not be so easy.

Just like if Yan Lingdie advanced to the realm of Sword Master, her flame sword qi would not be so easy for Zhong Cang to grasp.

Moreover, after capturing the enemy's spells, Zhong Cang cannot use them with precision.

Just like Brilliant Flame Heavenly Spirit, under Yan Lingdie's control, it is like a war god.

After being captured by Zhong Cang, its form directly collapses and turns into a floating mass of flame energy around him.

Just these three points make the Heaven and Earth Eight Trigrams Diagram no longer invincible.

Not to mention, Zhong Cang also thought of the fourth disadvantageous aspect for himself—most cultivators have Law Weapons.

Although Law Weapons are also within the eight attributes of the heavens, earth, wind, thunder, water, fire, mountains, and marshes, they are difficult for Zhong Cang to control.

...

With many limitations, Zhong Cang understands that his Heaven and Earth Eight Trigrams Diagram is far from invincible.

However, even though it is not invincible, when the gossip realm is activated, the prohibition of spells still allows Zhong Cang to feel the terrifying and powerful nature of this technique.

And to think that this is only the introductory characteristic of the Heaven and Earth Eight Trigrams Diagram.
