During the ti Liou Yuan imrsed himself in cultivation.
The other cultivators within the Erosion Land weren’t as fortunate.
So, even less lucky than Liou Yuan, were directly transported to areas dense with star eclipses and were ambushed the mont they landed.
The strong naturally broke through the encirclent.
The weak were directly torn apart by the star eclipses on the day they entered the training grounds, their flesh and blood devoured.
The remaining cultivators began searching for traces of the star eclipses, each putting their best foot forward on the first day.
Don’t be fooled; even though Liou Yuan can handle star eclipses with ease.
The defense of the star eclipses is indeed a major issue for ordinary outer sect disciples.
Disciples of the sa realm have to exert their full strength just to barely break the skin of a star eclipse. Killing one is extrely difficult.
Aside from a few exceptionally strong disciples, the first day of the outer sect trial yielded little for most.
After cultivating for about four to five hours, which is the duration of an entire night.
The two star stones in Liou Yuan’s hand shattered as they lost all their spirituality, only then did he slowly open his eyes.
The spiritual power within him had grown a bit stronger.
"In my cave abode, I can gather a strand of spiritual power in fifteen days."
"Here, it takes about twenty-three days to gather a strand of spiritual power."
Liou Yuan assessed his cultivation progress within the Erosion Land and nodded in satisfaction.
"Hmm, although the speed of cultivation isn’t as fast as with the aid of a Spirit Gathering Array in my cave, it’s comparable to that of Xiaopei Mountain."
Cultivation at the Qi Cultivation Realm is inherently a ticulous task.
Unless one is as talented as that Six-Star Acupoint disciple, otherwise, even a Five-Star Star Acupoint disciple must cultivate earnestly.
Having experienced a period of poor aptitude for cultivation, Liou Yuan cherished every day of training, even after his talent improved.
Even during the trial period, he did not want to miss a single day of cultivation.
"Reaching Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer from Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer requires forty strands of spiritual power, whereas reaching Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer from Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer requires eighty strands."
Liou Yuan calculated his cultivation speed with his fingers, estimating that he would be able to break through to Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer in about two years.
"Acceptable."
Liou Yuan nodded with satisfaction, then stood up from the damp ground within the crevice.
He gazed through the gap toward the outside world.
Vaguely, he could see the blue lantern on the Erosion Land’s sky emitting a halo of light.
"The duration of the outer sect trial is three months."
"It’s only the second day now, and there are quite a few star eclipses in this canyon, so there’s no rush to leave."
"I can cultivate and hone my swordsmanship against the star eclipses simultaneously."
Liou Yuan stroked his chin, beginning to plan his actions for the next three months.
His Silent Rain-Slaying Sword Skill was still newly cultivated, and compared to the Shock Tide Swordsmanship, it wasn’t very proficient yet.
When faced with a strong enemy, it would be quite frustrating if he couldn’t unleash the power of the Silent Rain-Slaying Sword.
The star eclipses in the Erosion Land are undoubtedly the best sparring partners.
There’s nothing that accelerates improvent more than training through actual combat.
As for going out to seize stone beads.
Liou Yuan felt that there was no rush for that for now.
This outer sect trial will certainly see more stone beads accumulating with outer sect disciples as the days pass.
So, in the last month, when everyone else has their pockets filled, that’s when I should make my move, wouldn’t that save a lot of effort?
Then there’s Liou Tao.
That kid is accompanied by a Liou Family mber of the Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer.
Liou Yuan knows that the Five Extres Mountain’s Treasure Pavilion has several kinds of magical artifacts that can sense each other’s location.
With the Liou Family’s resources, they will surely acquire a magical artifact that can sense each other’s location.
Liou Yuan currently doesn’t have the absolute confidence to defeat them both at once.
After two months of secluded cultivation, when his Silent Rain-Slaying Sword Skill becos more adept, he can catch them by surprise.
"I can continue my cultivation without interruption and obtain stone beads; it’s truly a plan that kills two birds with one stone."
Liou Yuan’s face radiated with a pleased smile.
With his mind set, Liou Yuan wouldn’t hastily leave this canyon.
Carrying the Canglan Sword, he leisurely walked out of the crack.
Evil Eyes activated, Night Concealnt Skill enabled, Liou Yuan’s figure rged into the darkness, continuing deeper towards the direction he had been aiming for.
Two hours later, on the canyon cliff wall fifty miles away from Liou Yuan’s cultivation crevice.
Liou Yuan abandoned using the Celestial Calculation Skill for Taming Objects, wielding the Canglan Sword, battling fiercely with a Star Erosion that erged from the cliff face, ten yards above the ground.
This Star Erosion, whether in size or aura, surpassed the two Star Erosions Liou Yuan previously defeated, reaching the Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer.
An Eighth Layer Star Erosion is far more difficult to deal with than an ordinary Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer cultivator.
Its stone skin is a natural defense magical artifact, every ti Liou Yuan’s Canglan Sword struck that rocky body, sparks flew everywhere.
Liou Yuan’s hand gripping the Canglan Sword was numbed by the recoil from the Star Erosion’s body.
If he wasn’t a dual cultivator of Spirit Body, with strong physical endurance, he wouldn’t be able to hold the sword now.
Even so, he didn’t use any magical ans other than the Green Tide Pure Water Sword.
He persisted in using Jade Tide Pure Water Swordsmanship to confront this Star Erosion.
Even though, with Liou Yuan’s full effort, he was confident in killing this Star Erosion within a cup of tea’s ti.
But he would have lost the original intention of honing his swordsmanship.
Only these equally matched opponents can make Liou Yuan feel pressured.
Swish! Green Tide Sword Aura spewed forth, Liou Yuan slashed out the final strike of Shock Tide.
The undulating sword aura erupted from the Canglan Sword like waves, sweeping towards the colossal Star Erosion.
This Star Erosion was extrely fierce, the Shock Tide sword waves sealed all directions, about to engulf it.
Its eye sockets, burning with oil-green fiery light, suddenly blazed brighter.
The originally red-brown rocky body was instantly covered with an oil green layer.
Clang! The continuous tide-like sword waves hacked onto the Star Erosion’s shell, surprisingly leaving only shallow sword marks.
Nevertheless, the Star Erosion’s body was constantly pushed back by the unrelenting sword waves, montarily suppressed by Liou Yuan’s Shock Tide Swordsmanship.
"Hmph!" Liou Yuan snorted coldly, how could he give up such a rare opportunity?
With Stepping Wave displayed, his toes touched the cliff wall, his body almost flying along the wall.
Swooping towards the Star Erosion trapped by Shock Tide Swordsmanship, struggling to free itself.
In this process, the Canglan Sword in his hand flicked, swinging out a new sword move.
"Silent Rain Cutter!" Liou Yuan’s eyes were fierce, thrusting the Canglan Sword directly at the Star Erosion.
The azure sword was covered by a layer of bluish-green sword aura.
Shock Tide Swordsmanship was grand and magnificent, the sword move could evoke the sound of tides, a direct attack stance.
While Silent Rain Cutter lacked such deafening power.
With the Sushui Sword Aura’s enhancent, the Canglan Sword maneuvered silently like a fish in water.
Its speed was several tis faster than Shock Tide Swordsmanship.
Plus Liou Yuan’s Stepping Wave Body Skill, his whole body was like an arrow released from a bowstring, traversing silently across the cliff with a deep blue trajectory.
In a flash, Liou Yuan’s Canglan Sword’s edge had already pierced the massive chest of the Star Erosion.
Smack! The oil-green coated rocky skin of the Star Erosion was effortlessly pierced by this strike.
The Canglan Sword embedded into the Star Stone’s body more than halfway.
Splurt! Black blood spurted out from the sword’s entry point.
At this close range, Liou Yuan could sll the stench wafting from the black blood.
"Roar!" The Star Erosion scread in pain, roaring in fury.
The burning oil green radiance intensified, resisting the confining Shock Tide Sword Aura while swinging its pillar-like arm towards Liou Yuan.
Liou Yuan, relying on Stepping Wave’s agility, would never let it have a chance.
With a sway of wave-like ripples, he had already withdrawn his sword and retreated several yards.
Bang! The Star Erosion’s swing missed, its arm heavily hitting the canyon cliff wall, blasting out a large pit, sending rubble flying.
Liou Yuan steadied himself, a cold smile on his lips, softly uttering a word: "Pierce!"
Splurt! From the position where the Canglan Sword’s Silent Rain Cutter struck the Star Erosion’s chest, bluish-green sword aura burst.
Blowing open a head-sized blood hole in the Star Erosion’s chest.
The wound continued to spread across the Star Erosion’s chest, leaving spider web-like cracks on its body.
