Chapter 609: Chapter 326: The Phantom Elephant, the Path of the Wise Sword_2
"Young Master Xu!"
The voice of Yun Miaomiao came, touching his heartstrings directly.
"Miss Du, Miss Yun, it's been a long time."
Xu Yan revealed a smile, taking a step forward, only to abruptly halt!
Something felt wrong!
He drew a deep breath, his gaze turned serious, his consciousness spreading out, still, the scenery he saw didn't seem to have any problems.

"Young Master Xu, come over quickly."
Du Yuying quickly walked over, seemingly to lead him into the courtyard.
Yet, Yun Miaomiao also rushed over. The two women glared at each other mid-way, seemingly arguing about something, but it looked more like their voices were clashing silently.
The expressions on the two ladies' faces turned colder, and their hostile stance towards each other began to exhibit more clearly.
"Young Master Xu knew me first and should catch up with me first!"
"Hmm, when Young Master Xu first came to my Wushuang Pavilion, I entertained him with all my heart. He should catch up with me first."
Immediately afterwards, the two women wanted to settle the dispute with a fight!
Xu Yan frowned, scanning his surroundings, feeling as if he'd fallen into some kind of illusion or dream.
However, what his consciousness and eyes saw all seemed real: the courtyard was genuine, could it be that the only fake things were the two women?
"Something's not right. What kind of trick is this?"
A shiver ran through Xu Yan's heart. This was no regular martial arts attack. Instead, it was kind of illusion, a dream, akin to an illusion technique?
Yet, it was not merely an illusion technique. It was as though it relied on the real environment to form a false dream.
Xu Yan paid no heed to the dispute among the women, nor did he pay attention to their fierce fight. He ignored the beautiful scene that suddenly appeared before him and continued observing this dream-like spectacle.
"Illusion, maze, state of mind…Only by shattering the illusion can I find reality. How could I have been covered by the illusion due to momentary carelessness with my current state.
"This shows that my state of mind is ultimately lacking."
"In the Heart Sword Realm, I have a sword in my heart, and everything can be a sword, including the illusion.
"But after all, I was in the illusion before I launched a counterattack. How can I ignore all of these illusions, all of these unreal things?
"My master said that in the Wisdom Sword Realm, the Wisdom Sword slashes inner demons, Wisdom Sword cuts emotional threads, Wisdom Sword severs the self…slashes all demons, slashes all unknowns.
"With the Wisdom Sword in the heart, purifying self, everything is me, not to be confused, not to confuse myself…"
Some understanding came to Xu Yan's mind. At this moment, his mind was illuminated as if he had understood how to cultivate in the Wisdom Sword Realm.
Once he stepped into the Wisdom Sword Realm, any illusion or any demonic barrier, will be like mirages, with nowhere to hide in his heart.
At this moment, Xu Yan decided to sit down directly, watching the two women fighting, watching their clothes being ripped apart, and their charming postures. Every movement was captivating, and their beautiful bodies presented a seductive scene.
An illusion is not real, but it can indeed show the most beautiful scenery in the world.
It can touch the human heart directly, awakening the most beautiful, or the most evil or scariest side of people's hearts.
Xu Yan didn't rush to get out of the illusion, but directly sensed himself within the illusion, further clarifying the path of cultivating the Wisdom Sword Realm.
This was an opportunity.
After understanding the cultivation path of the Wisdom Sword Realm, when his Heart Sword realm is perfect, he can attempt to break through into the Wisdom Sword Realm.
The profound Wisdom Sword Realm was no longer out of his reach but something he could cultivate!
At this moment, Xu Yan was secretly thrilled. His trip to Taimiao Sect was not in vain!
No matter who was behind this illusion or what their purpose was, it didn't matter anymore. Instead, it gave him some insight and helped him find his way to the Wisdom Sword Realm.
Atop Taimiao Peak, Xin Mengrou was puzzled. What was with Xu Yan? He actually sat down as if watching a play?
And it seemed like he had discovered this illusion?
"Where is the flaw?"
Xin Mengrou was pondering.
Looking at Du Yuying and Yun Miaomiao next to her, she had a guess. Maybe it was due to the behavior and attitude of these two women that flaws were revealed?
With a move of her thoughts, the illusion seemed to become more real. The two women fighting initially now approached Xu Yan, as if they wanted him to make a choice.
"It's time to bring this to an end!"
Xu Yan mumbled to himself. Raising his hand, he swung a sword down without hesitation and in a straightforward manner. Under this one sword, the two women instantly disintegrated.
Xin Mengrou raised her eyebrows when she saw this. He was rather decisive. What if the person was real?
Furthermore, he showed no change in complexion when he made his move, not a hint of hesitation. Like a beautiful woman was just a skeleton, he didn't feel the slightest bit of pity.
Xu Yan took a step, mountains and rivers emerging underfoot, shattering like shadows in a dream. No big changes occurred in the scenery before his eyes, but it was no longer illusionary, but genuine.
Two elegant courtyards were there, but without Du Yuying and Yun Miaomiao, he still spotted two other acquaintances.
Cui'er and Wushuang.
"Young Master Xu?!"
Cui'er rubbed her eyes, her face filled with disbelief. She quickly flushed, then rushed over.
"Young Master Xu, is it really you? I've missed you so much!"
Cui'er was incredibly excited and didn't even remember to notify her mistress.
The little girl had changed a bit. She seemed to have become prettier, and her strength had greatly improved, too.
She had reached the Great Heavenly Being Realm.
Although she'd only just entered the Great Heavenly Realm, considering Cui'er's current age, her Cultivation Realm was not bad. It was comparable to some ordinary talents.
Wushuang pursed her lips. The little kid had actually run to the Taimiao Sect, and he was even permitted to come here.
"This guy's fame in the Ling Domain is quite significant. Known as the number one talent of the Ling Domain, his reputation for being fierce is widespread. Yet, he still remembers these two girls. I guess he's a sentimental person." Wushuang mumbled to herself.
"I wonder how his master is doing."
The master of Xu Yan, that mysterious expert, should be above the strongest, right?
"It's Cui'er, isn't it?"
Xu Yan smiled and asked, "Where is Miss Du?"
"Miss Du is at the peak, with Ancestor Grandma."
As Ye Cui'er held on to her dress hem, about to invite Young Master Xu into the courtyard for a chat, she saw Xu Yan raise his head to look at the peak and say, "Then I'll go find Miss Du. You should know the whereabouts of Brother Xie, shouldn't you?"
Without waiting for Cui'er's response, Xu Yan stepped forward and went straight to the peak.
Cui'er was dumbfounded, and Wushuang was also taken aback. She muttered under her breath, "This kid Xu Yan came here to find out Xie Lingfeng's whereabouts. He really doesn't understand a woman's heart!"
"I've heard that Xin Mengrou of the Taimiao Sect is very strong. My name is Xu Yan, and I came to learn!"
Under the shocked gazes of Ye Cui'er and Wushuang, a golden giant dragon appeared under Xu Yan's feet. It roared and rushed towards the peak.
As if he was riding a dragon, Xu Yan held a longsword in his hand. His Sword Intent surged, and the fierce intent to kill pointed straight to the peak!
Although the previous illusion had given him inspiration and made him enlightened about the cultivation path of the Wisdom Sword Realm, he was not the kind of person to get hit without fighting back. Even if Xin Mengrou did not make a move, and only probed with illusions...
For Xu Yan, this was also a provocation. How could he not respond?
At the top of the peak, Du Yuying and Yun Miaomiao suddenly woke up from their cultivation. They looked at the golden giant dragon soaring into the sky, and the teenager standing proudly on the head of the dragon.
While feeling excited, they couldn't help but worry.
They glanced at Ancestor Grandma next to them. They couldn't see her face or her expression, making their hearts even more apprehensive.
"Everyone says Xu Yan is mad, indeed he is!"
The voice of Xin Mengrou was elusive as if it was part of a fantasy, flower petals cascading from the peak. Each petal represented a strand of the Heaven and Earth Laws' power.
With so many petals falling like rain, they were dreamy and elusive, but they also contained chilling killing intent.
"So strong!"
Xu Yan's heart tightened; Xin Mengrou was the strongest person he had met, aside from Wu Tianan.
Of course, as to how strong Wu Tianan's actual strength was, Xu Yan couldn't judge because he hadn't seen him make a move. When he first saw Wu Tianan, he felt that he was an old schemer, as if he was hiding some of his strength.
Roar!
The golden giant dragon roared, its draconic aura surged violently, and Xu Yan's hand swung, slashing out with his sword. The sword light boomed out like a wheel of life and death, the Sword Intent raging.
Pew! Pew!
The petals shattered one by one, and the sword light continuously broke apart. The golden giant dragon was already riddled with holes.
Bang!
The golden giant dragon shattered, the sword light dimmed, but the petals continued to fall.
Whoosh!
Without any warning, the stones and plants under Xu Yan's feet turned into sharp swords, soaring into the sky, and slashing at the falling petals. Moreover, the number of swords became more and more, and the flood of ten thousand swords was about to be launched.
