Lu Chen flipped through the notes written by King Jun. The internal cavity of Jun Bell was a temporal rift, similar to a Spell. However, it did not rely on a Spell to achieve Shatter the Void; rather, Jun Bell itself was a shattering, a distortion of time and space.
What kind of divine power was required to refine the fission of time and space into a bell?
The notes also contained a method related to the vast internal space of Jun Bell, all based on the concept of "time and space." If one could free themselves from the constraints of time and space, it would mean transcending the present, traversing the future, and returning to the past.
"What an astonishing concept!" Lu Chen murmured. He had never heard anything like this before; it was his first encounter with such a method.
This statement was profound, rich in deep philosophy and mystery. Sun Zizhao would surely be interested in this.
Lu Chen first felt that King Jun had a point. The facts seemed to support this notion; after all, he was a master of his generation. Having studied Jun Bell for such a long time, he must have some real skills to have come this far.
However, Lu Chen did not believe that this concept originated from King Jun himself, as he lacked the qualifications for such ideas. It was ninety-nine percent likely that it came from the Thunder Emperor. Only someone as supreme as the Thunder Emperor would have the capability to explore the universe and hypothesize based on personal experience, thus earning the title of an extraordinary master.
But where had the Thunder Emperor gone? Perhaps he had already realized his hypothesis, transcended the present, traversed the future, or even returned to the past.
It was only natural for King Jun to inherit the Thunder Emperor's teachings and follow his theories. However, for King Jun to write down the Thunder Emperor's ideas in his own notes and claim someone else's research as his own was somewhat dishonorable; it was despicable.
If the Thunder Emperor were still alive, he would surely have dealt with such a deceitful disciple first. Therefore, Lu Chen would no longer feel ashamed for possessing Jun Bell because he would allow what the Thunder Emperor left behind to shine in his hands, showcasing the might of the Thunder Emperor.
After finishing reading all of King Jun's notes, Lu Chen began trying to control Jun Bell.
The first step was to conceal Jun Bell's devouring power. This was crucial; according to what was written in the notes, it involved Healing Void Spell. Essentially, Jun Bell represented a temporal rift, while Healing Void Spell could cover up the wounds caused by this rift, preventing it from wreaking havoc.
Healing Void Spell and Rift Spell were opposites; they were also the only methods for opening and closing the bell's mouth.
Lu Chen practiced Healing Void Spell first. It was quite challenging for him; he needed to bring his hands together to form the healing technique. If it were a ritual offering, even lifting a heavy sword weighing dozens of pounds would be effortless. However, forming this healing technique required him to clasp his hands together.
Clasping his hands allowed Yin Spirit to condense more effectively and stabilize its center of gravity. Additionally, with the Yin Yuan Pearl located at his chest, its emitted Yin Yuan made it easier to receive energy when his hands were brought together.
After trying more than a dozen times, Lu Chen could only partially conceal the crack in Jun Bell, with very minimal effect.
Even a peak expert like Chuan Ru Mage, who mastered the Law of the Realm, could not manipulate Jun Bell freely, let alone Lu Chen.
After all, he was still a Yin Spirit in the Spirit Travel Realm. Although he could wander freely, he had yet to possess abilities like the Manifestation of the Dharma Body, and his Pure Yang Classic aura was relatively weak, so he still belonged to the category of ghosts.
The peak Dharmakaya and the Spirit Travel Realm were worlds apart and could not be compared at all.
After practicing for a quarter of an hour, Lu Chen was already exhausted to the point of collapse, and his vision became blurry. This was a sign of weakness for a Yin Spirit. It seemed that this matter could not be rushed; it needed to be approached gradually and steadily.
Lu Chen set down Jun Bell, tucked away the Four Symbols Thunder Scripture and King Jun's notes, then floated out of the Cave and returned to his position.
In an instant, he felt extremely fatigued; even the Yin Yuan Pearl could not sustain such intense consumption of Yin Yuan. He quickly sat cross-legged and began to draw upon the internal power of Yin Yuan to recover his Yin Spirit.
Since obtaining the Yin Yuan Pearl, Lu Chen realized that relying solely on its emission of Yin Yuan Power was no longer sufficient for his consumption. He had developed to the point where he needed to actively extract Yin Yuan from within it to balance his energy.
After resting for half a day, once Lu Chen felt revitalized, he began practicing Healing Void Spell again. After exhausting his own Yin Yuan three or four times in succession, he finally managed to form the hand seal accurately and conceal the sense of impending collapse emanating from Jun Bell. This was considered a significant breakthrough.
Next was the Rift Spell. The sense of crisis radiating from Jun Bell had been concealed, allowing the fissures to heal. However, if it needed to be opened again, it would require re-opening, which was called the Rift Spell.
The Rift Spell and Healing Void Spell were relatively equal; practicing them was also very strenuous and consumed a lot of Yin Yuan. It took several days for Lu Chen to learn the complete set of Healing Void Spell and Rift Spell, which meant he could perfectly open and close Jun Bell.
Next was object transmission. As long as Jun Bell reopened its fissure, it could automatically absorb objects belonging to Yang within three hundred steps.
However, it could not absorb objects belonging to Yin. This weakness had yet to be overcome even by King Jun, who noted this flaw as an irreparable regret in his writings.
Lu Chen planned to seek out a Yin Method with absorption capabilities in the future. By forcefully absorbing objects and sending them directly into Jun Bell, he could then use Healing Void Spell to heal the bell's opening. Thus, regardless of whether what was sent inside was a ghost or a deity, unless they possessed the ability to Shatter the Void, they would remain trapped inside for life.
If this Yin Method could manifest Pure Yang Classic Dharmakaya like Chuan Ru Mage's Severed Arm Vajra, then even flesh belonging to Yang could be directly transmitted inside. Even a Yin Spirit would not be able to enter or exit freely; let alone flesh unless that person was a Qi Gong Master from the Martial God Secret Realm who could directly Shatter the Void. Otherwise, just being subjected to that gravity inside—ten times stronger than reality—would crush someone alive.
Until this moment, Lu Chen had finally understood the entire principle behind Jun Bell's technique, but it still needed refinement, something beyond his current abilities. However, he was certain there would be opportunities in the future.
Lu Chen concealed Jun Bell's fission mouth and hung it on himself, then picked up Yue Shaojun's two Dual Blades.
He carefully wiped the blade of the Moon King's Blade with an oil-soaked cloth. There were faint traces of blood left in the blood groove of the blade that needed meticulous attention to be completely cleaned.
The blood groove of the Moon King's Blade was slightly different from that of a regular blade; while a regular blade has a straight blood groove, the Moon King's Blade featured a wavy groove, resembling two rows of teeth that did not align properly, giving it a fierce appearance.
Additionally, the two Moon King's Blades had different designs at the ends of their handles—one had a tenon and the other a mortise, both at awkward angles that allowed them to interlock. A powerful move in the Moon King Sword Technique utilized this feature.
In general, paired weapons are difficult to master and hard to wield effectively. With a single sword or blade, one can focus all their energy on one weapon, allowing for graceful and powerful movements, which is why more people are opting for single weapons.
However, Dual Blades require simultaneous attention to both swords; intentions must be split into two parts. Otherwise, it's easy to neglect one while focusing on the other, which is why many prefer not to use paired weapons.
These two blades were personally forged by the ancestor of the Yue Family from Giant Barbarian Island, known as the Moon King. The swordsmanship was also created by the Moon King and had distinctive characteristics. However, they were challenging to master; once mastered, they offered immense power and a balance of offense and defense that was hard to quantify.
Thus, Lu Chen was determined to master this pair of Moon King's Blades no matter what!
After cleaning the blood grooves of the Moon King's Blade and applying oil again, he hung them on the wall inside the residence. Early the next morning, Lu Chen took the Moon King's Blades to practice on the back mountain of Empty Mountain.
Morning was an excellent time for training; many Inner Sect Disciples would seize this opportunity to practice Qigong and sword techniques on their respective peaks.
Therefore, Lu Chen had no need for concern; everyone was focused on their own training—who would take the time to watch him?
Carrying his Dual Blades, Lu Chen arrived at the quiet back mountain. The surrounding birds and insects fell silent upon hearing his movements or quickly flew away with flapping wings.
The starting stance for the Moon King's Blade involved holding one blade in reverse grip with his left hand and in standard grip with his right hand. Lu Chen recalled that Yue Shaojun held his blades this way. The right hand focused on offense while the left hand concentrated on defense. The curved design of the Moon King's Blade was particularly clever; with a reverse grip in his left hand positioned in front of his chest, it protected his left side. When held behind him, it safeguarded his right side—it served as both sword and shield.
With his left hand in reverse grip and right hand in standard grip, Lu Chen began his practice.
His focus was always on the two knives, with his right hand performing slashes, cuts, chops, stabs, thrusts, and twists. His left hand acted as a shield, sometimes in front and sometimes behind, flexible and ever-changing, responding to the movements of his right hand.
After practicing for several hours, Lu Chen was drenched in sweat and panting heavily. Fortunately, the Supreme Garment continuously supplied Yang Yuan with endless stamina.
At this moment, he had begun to grasp the basics of the Moon King's Blade technique. Lu Chen was extremely excited, laughing heartily as he practiced. The intricacies of the Moon King's Blade could only be discovered through practice.
He uncovered the wonders of the Moon King's Blade and immediately became obsessed, lost in a trance.
Next, Lu Chen began to practice his moves using imaginary scenarios to train his reaction abilities. After all, while the knife techniques were well-crafted, they remained static no matter how much he practiced; humans are alive.
Imaginary practice is a form of dynamic training that Lu Chen drew inspiration from the Deer Demon Horn within the Five Animal Vitality Magic Technique. This became his habit; he would imagine practicing every type of skill.
Imaginary practice involves creating an imagined enemy for himself and then engaging in combat with this evolved opponent, countering their moves as they come.
Typically, masters would simulate techniques solely for themselves, enhancing their creations like adding flowers to a tapestry. While this may look impressive, it can easily lead one into a stagnant state where breakthroughs become difficult.
In contrast, Lu Chen's imagination involved simulating encounters with others. He would anticipate what moves his opponent might make and devise countermeasures accordingly.
