Chapter 26: Cohesion Failure

  "What's going on? All the symbols are operating according to the rules of the Ninefold Sword Wave, but they can't condense into a true symbol. It seems that this basic symbol is not perfect, how is this possible? I've already condensed 365 basic symbols and reached the Great Perfection of Symbolic Cultivation, how can it be imperfect? What's wrong with it?"

  Wang Xuanyang saw that all the symbols had no signs of condensing into shape, and his heart became more and more suspicious.

  He tried several more times, all of which failed, and finally exhausted his mental strength, having to retreat once again to recover.

  After his spiritual power recovered, he let out a soft sigh, "It seems that there's something I've overlooked."

  For several days in a row, Wang Xuanyang tried to condense his True Essence, but unfortunately, they all failed.

  Just as Wang Xuanyang was about to continue trying, the transmission talisman suddenly vibrated. He hastily checked it and found that it was a message from Fat Senior Brother.

  "Fat Master's intention is to inspect the new inner door disciples' cultivation progress, I wonder if others have condensed out their true essence?"

  Wang Xuanyang's heart skipped a beat.

  He is now closed-door cultivation, wanting to condense the true kind, it's almost impossible, it's best to find an experienced old man to ask, Fat Brother is a very good choice, of course, if it's Xing Jian Sheng, then it would be even better, but since entering Tianjian Peak, he hasn't seen him again.

  Thinking of this, he hastily left the courtyard.

  Outside of Jian Lou

  Wang Xuanyang saw Fat Senior Brother, and the other eight new inner sect disciples were all there.

  Wang Xuanyang found that the auras of these eight people had undergone tremendous changes, as if they were carrying a sharp and fierce aura, just like having a sword in their bodies.

  He was shocked in his heart, could it be that they had all already condensed their sword symbols into true essence?

  The real difficulty is not in the initial gathering, but rather in the subsequent explosion of holes.

  But got stuck on the Congealing Sword Symbol True Essence.

  "It's been five days, I suppose you've all condensed your sword symbols. I'll take you to the Symbolic Scripture Hall of Tianjian Peak, where you can choose one..."

  Fat Master saw Wang Xuan Yang arrive, slightly nodded his head, then looked around and said with a smile.

  However, his voice came to an abrupt halt, his gaze fixed on Wang Xuanyang, revealing a hint of astonishment, "Xuanyang Shidi, is your sword symbol the true kind?"

  He did not sense the fluctuations of the true breed of sword symbols on Wang Xuanyang's body.

  Several others also looked puzzled.

  Wang Xuanyang's face showed a hint of embarrassment, and he shook his head: "I haven't condensed the true essence yet."

  "What?"

  Fat brother was directly stunned.

  Did I hear that right?

  Condensing the True Essence is the easiest, generally speaking, people with strong innate talent can complete it within a day, and even if they are slightly inferior, they can still do it within a few days, which is also the reason why he gave Wang Xuan Yang and others a few days to condense the True Essence.

  With Wang Xuan Yang's talent, it was absolutely easy to condense the true essence within a day.

  Now everyone else has condensed their true essence, but Wang Xuan Yang hasn't succeeded, isn't this too ridiculous?!

  The faces of others turned strange.

  "Xuanyang Shidi, you're not joking with me, are you? This joke isn't funny at all!"

  Fat Master hastily pulled Wang Xuan Yang to one side, at the same time his hand waved casually, a faint light formed a concentric circle, scattered and enveloped an area of about ten feet around.

  This is a mute symbol, which can prevent sound from being transmitted out.

  Wang Xuanyang sighed and said: "Huang Shixiong, do I look like someone who jokes around? For the past few days, I've been trying to condense my true essence, but I keep failing."

  Fat Master's eyes, nose, mouth, and eyebrows were all scrunched up together as he rubbed his bald head: "This is strange. With your talent, how could you possibly encounter this situation? This kind of situation should be a sign of poor innate ability, but you clearly have extremely high innate ability. It doesn't make sense, it doesn't make sense!"

  Just then, a voice rose in the silent area, and it was Xing Jian's voice.

  "Little brother, come to my cave."

  Fat Master's whole body shook, and his expression became respectful.

  Although he and Xing Jian Sheng are fellow disciples, their status is vastly different. He is only an elite disciple, while Xing Jian Sheng is a true direct disciple.

  "Xuanyang Shidi, you'd better hurry up and go! Eldest Senior Brother might have a way."

  Fat Master said to Wang Xuan Yang, then removed the silence symbol, and suddenly all the sounds outside came in.

  Wang Xuanyang nodded.

  Fat Master Brother took others to the Xuan Dao Classics Hall.

  Only after condensing the true essence can one formally cultivate the Xiang Gong method of Daoist magic.

  Xing Jian's birthplace is on the 81st floor of the Sword Building, corresponding to the 80th floor of the Sword Tower.

  That is to say, Xingjian Sheng had at least reached the 80th floor of the Sword Tower.

  When Wang Xuan Yang entered the Star Sword Sect's inner courtyard, he could feel an extremely dense and unusual Yuan Qi, which was at least several dozen times thicker than that of the fourth layer.

  Xingjian's birthplace was still in the form of a courtyard, only larger in area, and the layout was perfectly natural, obviously carefully designed by Xingjian himself, containing a kind of peculiar Taoist rhyme.

  At the end of the courtyard, there was a pavilion. Xingjian, dressed in green clothes, stood with his hands behind his back. On his back, he still carried a sword that never left his side.

  "Little brother, sit down!"

  Xing Jian was born with a faint smile.

  "Brother Xing."

  Wang Xuanyang respectfully said.

  He had already learned a lot about Xing Jian Sheng from Fat Brother, the direct disciple of Tian Jian Peak Master and also the youngest direct disciple. The direct disciples of Tian Jian Peak Master were not limited to Xing Jian Sheng alone, some had even advanced to the Symbol Realm level.

  The reason why all the inner disciples of Tiān Jiàn Fēng call Xīng Jiàn Shēng "Dà Shī Xiōng" is mainly because his cultivation and symbol master level are absolutely number one among all the disciples below the symbol sect level in Tiān Jiàn Fēng.

  "Little brother, this is something teacher asked me to give you."

  Xing Jian sat down, waved his hand, and a jade slip appeared on the stone table.

  This jade is extraordinary at first glance, with a purple body and strange texture.

  Teacher?

  Although Xingjian Sheng said that the master of Tianjian Peak had already decided to make him his closed-door disciple, so far, Wang Xuanyang has not seen that teacher once.

  He picked up the jade slip, and his spiritual power probed into it, "Reverting to the Origin Refining Technique?"

  Wang Xuanyang's eyes lit up, this was actually the highest cultivation method of Tianjian Peak, far surpassing the Ninefold Sword Wave True Cultivation Method by several levels. Generally speaking, only true disciples had the qualifications to cultivate it.

  The method of gathering the gate determines the quality of the true seed. The higher the level of the gate, the higher the quality of the true seed that is condensed.

  Moreover, the method of gathering and cultivating can also be used to gradually polish and refine the true seed in the future, thereby improving its quality.

  The true species as the foundation of the symbol determines the potential for future development.

  So high-end gathering methods are crucial.

  Generally, the inner disciples of Tiān Jiàn Fēng use the Nine-Layered Sword Wave Great Method. Only when one becomes a true disciple will they be taught the Returning to the Origin Cultivation Technique. Wang Xuanyang is still just a new inner disciple and doesn't have this qualification yet. However, the master of Tiān Jiàn Fēng has already expressed his intention to take Wang Xuanyang as his closed-door disciple, which also makes him half a true disciple. Therefore, the master of Tiān Jiàn Fēng handed over the Returning to the Origin Cultivation Technique to Wang Xuanyang ahead of time.

  Wang Xuanyang was overjoyed in his heart, for this jade slip contained not only the method of returning to the origin and refining the species, but also precious information left by the master of Tianjian Peak. According to the judgment of the master of Tianjian Peak, Wang Xuanyang's inability to condense the true species with the Nine-Fold Sword Wave Great Method was likely due to the sword symbol seed being too powerful, far surpassing the 365 basic symbol seeds. After all, this sword symbol seed was personally imparted by the ancestor.

  When the false is out of balance, the true cannot be gathered.

  If replaced with a more advanced technique of returning to the origin, this problem can be solved.

  Similar situations have occurred in the history of Buddhism.
