Chapter 1617: Chapter 64: Epiphany and Ascending to Transcendence!_2
Even though the sword embryo in his hand hadn’t been sharpened, it flowed with his intentions, with moves freely executed, seemingly chaotic.
However, it had reached a stage where it wasn’t confined to fixed techniques, and each casual move subtly aligned with the changes of Yin and Yang.
Light and darkness intertwined, reality and illusion coexisted, wherever the Sword Intent passed, space seemed to be folded and stretched by an invisible force.

[...]
In front of him, prompts of the Taixu Yin Yang Sword’s Experience Value increase occasionally appeared.
Each prompt appeared with unprecedented numbers fluctuating.
Simultaneously, there were also Source Points increase prompts at times.
Yet Jiang Ning’s attention was no longer on these.
He gradually entered a state of being free from distractions, where his body and mind were immersed, and countless enlightened sparks burst in his mind.
Those countless sparks seemed like stars exploding in his mind, with each spark of light bringing stronger realizations.
At this moment, he forgot the passage of time, and forgot the gradually approaching crisis.
...
Who knows how much time had passed.
[Epiphany Ended, Taixu Yin Yang Sword Experience Value +27233]
In a daze, his consciousness returned, suddenly feeling exhausted, the sword shadow in his hand converged as his figure disappeared as well.
Sigh——
He stood holding the sword, his eyes regained clarity, and let out a long breath of impure energy.
The impure energy reversed, stirring up a gust in the courtyard.
"There’s not a trace of Medicinal Power left inside my body!" As he sensed his current bodily state, he felt a surge of surprise.
The changes brought by the Holy King Pill when it entered his stomach were intensely felt.
But now, his body was utterly empty, and even his Essence Qi had been completely depleted.
Afterward, he unfolded the panel.
[Source Points]: 37.5
Looking at the number on the panel, his gaze instantly focused.
"Before it was less than thirteen Source Points accumulated, now it’s directly reached thirty-seven point five Source Points accumulation, is this the Holy King Pill?"
His emotions surged abruptly.
Then his gaze moved downward.
[Skill]: Taixu Yin Yang Sword (Great Success 71377/100000)
"Seventy-three thousand??!"
"Such a tremendous increase!!"
Looking at this entry in the Taixu Yin Yang Sword section, seeing the accumulation of Experience Value, he suddenly found it hard to believe.
Then, he recalled the prompt that flashed by earlier in his mind.
[Epiphany Ended, Taixu Yin Yang Sword Experience Value +27233]
"Epiphany ended!" He murmured softly, with sudden understanding in his heart.
The reason for the unprecedented efficiency in improvement just now.
Was the combination of two states.
The state of transcendence into sanctity, and the state of epiphany.
His earlier upgrade of the Outstanding Comprehension trait eventually evolved to offer him a feature that might trigger epiphany.
This effect hadn’t been triggered during recent times.
But just after swallowing the Holy King Pill and entering the state of transcendence into sanctity to practice swordsmanship, he unknowingly entered the state of epiphany.
As for the state of transcendence into sanctity, it allowed him to experience sensations like never before.
The shackles of the mind seemed unlocked, flashes of enlightenment burst out, and his thought processes operated countless times faster than usual.
This was a realm he hadn’t ventured into previously.
The combination of the two enabled him to achieve such terrifying Experience Value growth.
"Since that’s the case, let’s strike while the iron is hot! There are still two Holy King Pills left; even if I can’t trigger the epiphany state, they can still help break another level in swordsmanship, and the accumulation of Source Points can satisfy some of my current needs."
With this thought, he hesitated no more in his heart.
Then, he took the second Holy King Pill and swallowed it.
The pill entered his mouth, the pill coat dissolved, then swallowed into his stomach, the familiar torrent once again swept through his body, his bones resonated like thunder, his Qi-Blood surged like rivers.
The exhausted body, like a deflated balloon being inflated, in just a moment, its physical state returned to the peak.
During this process, the Spirit Platform also became clearer.
In the next moment.
The sword light reappeared in the courtyard, light and dark differentiated, like day and night alternating, sword shadows layered, seemingly real and illusory.
Each sword grade subtly resonated with the Heaven and Earth rhythms, adding a touch of change.
[Taixu Yin Yang Sword Experience Value +1137]
[Taixu Yin Yang Sword Experience Value +1188]
[Source Points +2.9]
[...]
...
Time continued to pass, Jiang Ning was already deep in a state of immersion.
Until the Medicinal Power faded, his bones weakened, Jiang Ning then gathered his sword and stood.
He looked at the panel again.
[Source Points]: 63.1
Compared to just before, the increase in Source Points was still noticeable, having reached over sixty points, already meeting the requirements for his Vajra Immortal Body breakthrough.
Then, he looked at the Skills section.
[Skills]: Taixu Yin Yang Sword (Great Success 93777/100000)
"This time, no state of enlightenment appeared, just an increase of over twenty thousand experience value, just as expected!"
Looking at the current accumulation of experience value for the Taixu Yin Yang Sword, he felt no ripples in his heart.
This time, in the state of transcending to sainthood, he didn’t enter enlightenment.
Therefore, the experience value gained was completely incomparable to the last time.
"But this kind of efficiency is also exaggerated enough, the Holy King Pill really does live up to its name." He steadied his heart.
Glancing at the remaining experience value gap on the panel, the perfection of the Taixu Yin Yang Sword was within reach.
He then looked up at the sky.
The sun was gradually westward, no longer as glaring as just now, but slightly orange-red, indicative of the approaching evening.
"Strike while the iron is hot, by now Ji Xuan must have already come out of seclusion to meet with the Changning Emperor, he might come to find trouble with me at any moment!"
Thinking of what he saw during the day, he immediately felt a bit more pressure in his heart.
Subsequently, he stopped hesitating and took out the last Holy King Pill.
The pill entered his stomach, and the majestic medicinal power erupted once again, his Qi-Blood surged, his muscles and bones rang in unison, and his Spirit Platform became increasingly clear.
The sword light in the courtyard rose again, light and shadow interchanged, reality and illusion intertwined, the mysteries of the Taixu Yin Yang Sword became more and more perfectly integrated in his hands.
[Taixu Yin Yang Sword Experience Value +1221]
[Taixu Yin Yang Sword Experience Value +1303]
[Taixu Yin Yang Sword Experience Value +1189]
[...]
As the sword shadows flew, the experience value rapidly accumulated.
After a long while, the sword light in his hand suddenly changed.
The panel changed accordingly.
[Skills]: Taixu Yin Yang Sword (Perfection 689/100000)
Taixu Yin Yang Sword, Perfection!!
In an instant, countless insights flooded his mind, numerous inspirations appeared and disappeared like stars.
The sword shadows in the courtyard also changed accordingly.
Black and white energies flowed through the courtyard.
Seeming like energy, seeming like a sword, changing unpredictably.
Black human figures, ghostly; white human figures, elusive, appeared in every corner of the courtyard.
The next moment.
Countless streams of air converged towards the sword embryo in his hand.
With the integration of the black and white energies, the long sword in his hand transformed with black and white colors.
Then Jiang Ning slowly opened his eyes, within his pupils, black and white energies also circulated,
"The Taixu Yin Yang Sword is actually a swordsmanship that enters Dao with the sword!"
With the perfection of the swordsmanship, he clearly understood in his heart.
Before the perfection, it was all related to swordsmanship.
But after the perfection, it was no longer merely swordsmanship, but involved fundamental principles of Heaven and Earth origin.
The profound meaning of space and Yin Yang Rules.
This is a method of entering Dao with the sword.
He also understood.
In the Ancient Era, that was the era when the Immortal Dao flourished.
In that era, great power was more derived from Heaven and Earth.
The path of the Immortal Dao was more about dissecting the fundamental principles of Heaven and Earth, learning from them.
Thousands of paths, leading to the same end, all pointed to the Heaven and Earth Great Path.
The Taixu Yin Yang Sword originated from the swordsmanship of that era, and was also influenced by the intention of that era.
"Not bad at all!" he murmured to himself.
He raised his hand and swung, sword qi erupted like a waterfall, Yin and Yang Qi burst from the sword embryo in his hand like a torrent.
This is Yin Yang Qi.
It is also a finishing move mastered with the perfection of the Taixu Yin Yang Sword.
Under the Yin Yang Qi, all things dissolve, nothing can withstand.
"With just this one sword, my strength has made further progress, combined with the ability to alter space."
He thought, stepping forward.
The next moment.
His figure suddenly disappeared in the courtyard.
At this moment, he felt as if he stood apart from Heaven and Earth, quietly observing everything in the courtyard.
He looked up again, gazing into the distance.
Without using any means, his eyes had no obstruction, clearly seeing everything ahead.
He saw Liu Wanwan busy in the kitchen, saw his elder brother Jiang Li chopping wood in the kitchen.
Then he looked in another direction, seeing Su Qingying sitting cross-legged in the bamboo house, eyes closed in concentration.
