"Then, Sword Grandpa, you should first get familiar with the Myriad Sword Art."
"When you can split into ten thousand flying swords, that'll count as mastery, and you can start cultivating the Heavenly Sword Art."
"That thing's ridiculously powerful."
"Mm."
"I'll show you once."
—mainly because he himself had never seen it either.
Zhuge Lan formed a sword seal with his hands and pointed to the sky.
The Zhu Xian Sword flew out above his head, transforming into a streak of sword light that vanished into the heavens.
The next instant—
An enlarged version of the Zhu Xian Sword descended like a god, carrying world-destroying might and delivering divine punishment.
It landed on a mountain peak several kilometers away.
The blade pierced three feet into the ground, yet only the sword body was visible—no hilt exposed.
It transformed into a spatial barrier, standing before the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's mountain gate.
A few seconds later—
Zhuge Lan canceled the Heavenly Sword Art, and the gigantic blade vanished.
Only a deep, pitch-black ravine remained, its bottom impossible to see.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, once surrounded by mountains, now had a massive gap torn open—
Yet because it was bottomless, it became even harder to cross.
Nearby—
Chen Xin's mouth hung wide open, unable to close for a long time.
[Emotion Points +390,000]
What did he just see?
A Soul Ancestor, raising his hand—
And slicing open the mountain gate of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?
—Those were mountain ranges stretching thousands of meters!
And that abyss-like ravine… just how deep was it?!
Chen Xin asked himself honestly.
If he went all out, could he cause that level of destruction?
Maybe—but it would definitely take time.
If facing it head-on—
Chen Xin glanced at the sword light that had returned.
With just that super-divine weapon alone, he felt his only option would be to dodge desperately and wait for a chance to kill Zhuge Lan.
He wouldn't dare confront it directly.
Let alone under the Heavenly Sword Art.
Aside from escaping on his sword, there was no second choice.
[Emotion Points +390,000]
This was insane!
He was a dignified Level 95 Titled Douluo—Yet when facing a Soul Ancestor, his only option was to run?!
"Zhuge…"
Chen Xin bared his teeth and asked:
"When I used the Myriad Sword Art just now, the consumption was enormous—far beyond the total reserves of a Soul Saint."
"The Heavenly Sword Art should cost even more, right?"
In other words—
How the hell did you, a Soul Ancestor, release it?
Zhuge Lan obviously wasn't about to say the system covered everything.
He replied casually—
"Oh."
"I accepted an ancestral god's trial and obtained a special reward."
"When needed, I can directly draw upon His divine power to unleash techniques far beyond my level."
"Like the Myriad Sword Art and the Heavenly Sword Art."
[Emotion Points +290,000]
Chen Xin's eyebrow twitched violently.
The same thought arose in his mind as in Yu Xiaogang's—
This kid really knows how to reincarnate properly.
It made Titled Douluo like him, who climbed step by step on their own, feel sour inside.
After that—
He felt even more strongly that Ning Fengzhi's early all-in bet on the Zhuge family was incredibly bold and farsighted!
A family this bugged—
Grabbing onto their thigh was no different from grabbing a god's thigh.
Now—
Part of the Zhuge family's foundation could be used by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Usually, the sect handled Zhuge Lan's troubles.
But if the sect ever faced something it couldn't handle—like pressure from Spirit Hall or another of the Upper Three Sects—
With Zhuge Lan's divine sense, divine artifacts, and super-divine artifacts, could he really sit by and do nothing?
Instantly—
The burden Chen Xin had carried on his shoulders for decades was lifted.
His mindset shifted dramatically.
His aura fluctuated violently, sword arts circulating on their own as he began transforming from within.
天地 energy condensed into a funnel shape, pouring violently into Chen Xin's body.
Zhuge Lan stared in disbelief.
This…
Enlightenment?
But strangely—
Chen Xin's soul power surged and ebbed like ocean waves, not erupting like a tsunami.
'System, what's going on?'
[Consumed 1,000 Emotion Points. Scan complete!]
——————————
After letting go of long-held obsessions, enlightenment occurred and spirit, energy, and will transformed—but accumulated reserves are insufficient to break through.
The body instinctively absorbs external energy to force a breakthrough.
However, simultaneous sword art compression increases quality while reducing quantity, causing repeated fluctuation at the breakthrough threshold.
Even if this breakthrough fails, only re-accumulation is needed—completion within one year is guaranteed.
——————————
So that's it.
Hmm.
At this point, Chen Xin—thanks to being fooled by him—could count as his number-one hitter.
His breakthrough was good for Zhuge Lan.
Help him out!
Zhuge Lan directly used a mental link—
「Zhuge Lan: Sword Grandpa, stop circulating sword arts. Use your original soul power routes!」
「Zhuge Lan: Don't worry about anything else—focus on breaking through!」
Chen Xin's thoughts shifted.
He stopped compressing soul power and halted sword art circulation.
Zhuge Lan originally planned to directly inject soul power and skip the accumulation phase—
But—
[Level 95 → 96 requires 40,000,000 Emotion Points!]
[Leveling others costs 10× the normal amount!]
[Target is at breakthrough threshold. Requirement greatly reduced—final cost:]
[80,000,000 Emotion Points!]
Tch!
Post-Title levels were this expensive?!
He decisively gave up.
'System, find some cheap options suitable for Chen Xin.'
[Spirit Gathering Array: 1,000,000 Emotion Points/minute]
——————————
Converges天地 energy to artificially create a cultivation environment ten times denser—ideal for breakthroughs!
——————————
Nothing better than this.
'Exchange it.'
[Consumed 1,000,000 Emotion Points. Obtained "Spirit Gathering Array"!]
Complex runes formed beneath Zhuge Lan's feet—just enough space for one person.
With a thought—
The array shifted beneath Chen Xin, devouring天地 energy greedily.
A visible vortex formed, dragging clouds from the horizon and swallowing them whole.
At the center of the energy storm, Chen Xin exhaled deeply in comfort.
His aura rose steadily.
Soul power surged without decline, smoothly breaking through the bottleneck and advancing to Level 96.
[Emotion Points +490,000]
Before he could stabilize—
Zhuge Lan withdrew the array.
Chen Xin felt an emptiness in his heart—
Just a bit more!
But—
Chen Xin's breakthrough took 3 minutes and 54 seconds!
Anything under a minute counts as a full minute—
That was 4 million Emotion Points already!
Another second later and it'd be another million gone.
Of course Zhuge Lan was fast with his hands.
He didn't hide it, putting on a bitter expression.
"This Spirit Gathering Array was something I saved for breaking through to Titled Douluo myself."
"One use and thirty percent's gone. It hurts!"
[Emotion Points +190,000]
Chen Xin awkwardly withdrew his power. He could stabilize later on his own.
Right now—
He spoke sincerely:
"This breakthrough was thanks to your reminder. Otherwise, I might have failed."
"If you ever need me in the future, just say the word."
—High-level hired muscle: online.
And was Zhuge Lan the type to be polite?
Smiling warmly—
