Chapter 2227: Chapter 2224: Power of Four Seas

"You really are surprising." Ji Zimo’s voice was slightly low, expressionless as he spoke.

"This world is bigger than you imagine, the so-called orthodox is merely a drop in the ocean. In the future, you’ll discover more and more surprises," Miss said indifferently.

Her vision has surpassed the so-called orthodox, even the Ancient Martial World, in her eyes, is just a small corner of the world. She has seen higher-level powers, all of which were brought to her by Lin Tian.

As she spoke, she exhaled a faint breath. Her pale face returned to redness, astonishing everyone present.

However, the Ji Family members were not in such a good mood. Being questioned about orthodoxy in formal occasions made Ji Wancheng’s face as cold as ice. Those unaware might think he was the one who practiced the Mystic Ice Blue Record.

"Innate Perfection is still Innate Perfection. Let’s see how many times you can recover!" Ji Zimo snorted coldly, his figure swiftly moved again.

He shifted from his previous aloofness and superiority, once again initiating an attack voluntarily. Perhaps only he knew the inexplicable unease rising in his heart, which he needed to eradicate to prove his status as the first among the young generation.

"Emperor’s Heart - Four Seas Return to Origin!" Ji Zimo suddenly leapt high, flying over Miss’s head. A slightly low yet dignified voice came out of his mouth.

From a commanding position, he raised his sword edge and slashed toward the four directions, four beams of white light swept out like tides rolling toward Miss on the ground.

Ji Zimo seemed like a giant standing upon the wave crest, wielding the Emperor’s Sword, harnessing the Power of Four Seas, sweeping through the world, eradicating all resistance, and stabilizing the universe.

Such Sword Intent, grander and sharper than the Holy Heaven Seal, with the Sky Soaring Sword in his hand, made Ji Zimo appear like a true dragon ascending to the heavens and entering the seas, with myriad spirits coming to pay homage.

The slightly weaker Ancient Martial Artists, who could barely withstand the pressure from the Holy Heaven Seal, were completely unable to resist the aura of "Four Seas Return to Origin" now. It was the suppression of the Innate Realm, and also the suppression of cultivation techniques, fully displaying the power of the Emperor Heart Technique.

Unable to withstand it, the Ancient Martial Artists could only sit on the ground to avoid the embarrassment of falling to their knees, gasping heavily; only this could slightly alleviate the heaviness in their hearts.

Lin Tian, however, squinted slightly, his eyes flashing as he activated super perspective, scanning toward Ji Zimo.

No matter how fierce or majestic a martial skill is, its essence is still the operation of true energy to drive the moves. Lin Tian was observing the situation of Ji Zimo’s true energy operation.

Amid his internal organs, bones, and muscles, a network appeared in Lin Tian’s vision, which was Ji Zimo’s meridians.

It must be said, Ji Zimo’s meridians are wider than most Ancient Martial Artists’. If the meridians of Postnatal Realm Ancient Martial Artists are small streams, his are like great rivers, with true energy flowing magnificently within them.

This is the advantage of the Innate, be it the strength of meridians or the quality of true energy, it surpasses those of the Postnatal Realm, which is why there is a gulf between Postnatal and Innate.

In Ji Zimo’s body, massive amounts of true energy were gathering in four positions, namely the head, chest, upper abdomen, and lower abdomen. Lin Tian instantly understood why this Ancient Martial skill was called "Four Seas Return to Origin."

In traditional Huaxia medicine, and in the Nine Needle Technique, descriptions of these four parts exist: Marrow Sea is in the head, Qi Sea is hidden in the chest, Sea of Water and Grains is located in the upper abdomen, Blood Sea is in the lower abdomen.

The Marrow Sea, Qi Sea, Sea of Water and Grains, and Blood Sea are collectively known as the Four Seas of the human body, which are the gathering places of qi and blood energy. Meridians are rivers, these four parts are the seas.

Marrow Sea is the residence of the Primordial Spirit, the source of divine energy, ruling the internal organs; Qi Sea is the gathering place of vital energy, governing the heartbeat and breath; Sea of Water and Grains is the source of qi and blood transformation; Blood Sea is the fundamental driving force of life’s activities.

The true energy in the meridians gathers massively in the "Four Seas," then emanates, converging towards the Sky Soaring Sword, forming four grand sword energies, which is the profound meaning of "Four Seas Return to Origin."

"The Ji Family’s cultivation techniques truly have their mysteries." Lin Tian thought to himself.

"The ’Four Seas’ are crucial among the body’s meridians. Ancient Martial Artists usually have to be cautious when directing energy here, fearing an accident that could lead to mental deviation and meridian rupture."

The Ancestor of the Ji Family who created the Four Seas Return to Origin martial skill was undoubtedly bold and meticulous, of extraordinary talent.

These thoughts were fleeting, and the four sword energies had already descended upon Miss’s head, spinning, cutting, sweeping, as if intending to turn her into dust.

Miss slightly raised her head, her face showing neither joy nor sorrow. Suddenly, she raised her hand and thrust out a sword, the Hua Ying Sword manifested countless sword shadows, weaving blue sword light like an endless ocean.

If Ji Zimo’s "Four Seas" were a false ocean, hers was a true ocean, the lethal "Sword Energy Cross," creating another realm.

Lin Tian truly felt the ocean’s breath, the energy aura of the Big Pearl, akin to the heart of the ocean, filled with life’s vitality. The Hua Ying Sword is the Sword of Life, perfectly matching the realm of the martial skill, complementing each other.

The streaking sword energies were like fish leaping from the water, Miss seemingly the goddess of the sea, merging with the entire ocean.

When the sword energies from both sides collided, there was no explosion; the "Four Seas Return to Origin" sword energies disappeared upon entering the "blue ocean."

Finally, with a light tink sound, the sword tips collided, an invisible ripple spread, Ji Zimo landed on the ground, and Miss’s body swayed, the stone slabs beneath her feet turned to powder, then were blown away by residual waves, flying everywhere.

Tang Xuan Su suddenly stood up with a gleam in her eyes, resembling stars in the backdrop of the sky. She wasn’t amazed by the Four Seas Return to Origin but surprised by Xiao Manxue, making her uncontrollably rise to her feet.

Sword Energy Cross is one of the signature martial skills of Qingshuang Pavilion, and as Pavilion Master, Tang Xuan Su understood its essence most clearly. When the sword energy is unleashed, it crosses the world, cutting through everything.

Yet, the Sword Energy Cross unleashed by Xiao Manxue had completely changed in essence, but its power wasn’t diminished; rather, paired with the Hua Ying Sword, it subtly showed signs of surpassing.

Tang Ziqing and Tang Muling equally had shining eyes, having witnessed it, even gaining inspiration; as mentors, they felt inspired by a disciple’s martial skill.

"Pavilion Master..." Tang Ziqing wanted to say something.

Tang Xuan Su waved her hand and sat down, speaking softly, "I understand your intention; Xiao Manxue’s talent is indeed exceptional, the best heir for the Pavilion Master. You want to bring her back?"

Tang Ziqing didn’t speak, but nodded, somewhat conceding.

"It’s indeed a pity..." Tang Xuan Su sighed slightly, but then spoke lightly, "However, it’s a good thing; Manxue is different from us. She has a family, is tied to the mundane world, and the rules of the sect turn into shackles for her. Let her be free; that way, she’ll achieve greater accomplishments, which is what we can do."
