Immortality Starts With Ignorant Heart Sword Art

Chapter 127: Heaven and Earth Grinding Plate

Several days ago, when Zhong Cang's master was recruiting him, he mentioned the Heaven and Earth Eight Trigrams Diagram and its powerful Heaven Level techniques.

At that time, Zhong Cang thought his master was exaggerating the power of the techniques to recruit him.

But now, as the Eight Trigrams - Heaven and Earth (Dominance) was activated, Zhong Cang truly understood that his master hadn't exaggerated at all. This technique was truly of Heaven Level quality.

...

On one side, Zhong Cang was delighted and amazed by the power of the Heaven and Earth Eight Trigrams Diagram.

On the other side, Yan Lingdie couldn't accept her easy defeat.

"I clearly became stronger."

With her unwillingness to accept defeat and her proud personality, Yan Lingdie couldn't admit defeat. With a flick of her sword, she launched another challenge.

"Come again!"

"Sure."

Shrugging his shoulders, Zhong Cang signaled for Yan Lingdie to attack as she pleased. This relaxed attitude made Yan Lingdie feel insulted.

As a result, this time she went all out.

With a loud "boom," just like before, a majestic flame appeared around her.

The difference was that this time, she learned her lesson and didn't let the Brilliant Flame Heavenly Spirit become too large and grand. Instead, it tightly adhered to her curvaceous... flat body like a set of fiery battle armor.

The refined flame battle armor gave her great control.

And indeed, it caused some trouble for Zhong Cang.

At first, Zhong Cang didn't forcefully remove the fiery battle armor from her, exposing her delicate body in front of him. But this was just a minor inconvenience.

With all her body and mind focused on the fiery battle armor, Yan Lingdie couldn't move freely and had no attention to spare for anything else.

On the other hand, Zhong Cang, with his four-core thinking, could easily divide his attention to attack at any time.

However, he didn't do that. Instead, he asked indifferently.

"Are the amulets your parents left you still on you?"

"???"

"They are."

Although she didn't understand why Zhong Cang suddenly asked, Yan Lingdie, being a bit naive and trusting Zhong Cang, answered directly.

And then, she was defeated.

Zhong Cang didn't take advantage of her distraction and suddenly increase his attack... he wasn't that uncouth.

What Zhong Cang did was simply raise his arm and snap his fingers after Yan Lingdie answered.

"Snap!"

"Boom!!!"

With Zhong Cang's snap, a thunderous sound erupted on the small island.

There were two sounds, one was the crisp sound of Zhong Cang snapping his fingers.

The other was the sound of the fiery battle armor containing the immense flame energy exploding.

—When Yan Lingdie was on guard and had all the spells she released bound around her, Zhong Cang indeed couldn't easily take control of her spells.

It could only be said that it was quite difficult when facing each other closely and trying to take control of each other's spells.

However, Zhong Cang didn't need to control everything.

The spells were delicate, and with his control over half of the spell control, he could easily detonate the spells and make them collapse.

After all, those spells weren't his own. By detonating them and causing them to collapse, Zhong Cang felt no psychological burden at all.

"...If it's just destroying the spells, I don't even need to control half of them. With just one-third, I can make the structure of most spells collapse!"

...

As the spells suddenly collapsed, the spiritual energy that composed the fiery battle armor went out of control. And this out-of-control spiritual energy was the most explosive flame energy.

Various unfavorable circumstances converged, and Zhong Cang could guess what would happen next without thinking.

"Boom!!!"

The out-of-control flames directly caused an explosion.

Even from a distance, Zhong Cang could feel the strong impact and scorching heat of the fiery explosion.

He was affected, but Yan Lingdie, who was protected by the Crimson Flame Battle Armor, naturally suffered even more.

Fortunately, Zhong Cang was grateful to Yan Lingdie.

Therefore, before detonating the Crimson Flame Battle Armor, he specifically asked if the talisman was still there.

After receiving a positive reply, he detonated the armor.

And as Zhong Cang expected, the talisman protected Yan Lingdie, preventing her from being injured.

However, although she was unharmed, this failure once again made her eyes lose their light so easily.

Luckily, the girl was tougher than Zhong Cang thought, and consecutive failures did not defeat her.

She gripped her heavy sword and charged again.

"Come again!"

But this time, she didn't summon flames or condense the Brilliant Flame Heavenly Spirit. She was prepared to rely solely on her physical body to fight the enemy.

The flame mana flowed within her body but was no longer released. This time, Zhong Cang truly couldn't control it.

Unfortunately, without flames and spells, Yan Lingdie was like a tiger with its fangs and claws removed, posing no threat to Zhong Cang.

His palm flipped and pressed down slightly. With a "buzz," a mysterious cloud seal appeared on the ground and disappeared in an instant, following Zhong Cang's movement.

At the same time as this rune appeared, a majestic gravity descended upon Yan Lingdie.

Caught off guard by this attack, she was directly pressed to the ground while charging forward.

"Ugh..."

Although Yan Lingdie struggled hard while lying on the ground, she couldn't get up like a cat.

A Gravity Art directly overwhelmed her.

It wasn't that she was weak or that Gravity Art was too strong; it was the result of skill synergy.

As is well known, gravity is part of gravity, and they are directly proportional to each other.

In simple terms, the greater the mass of an object, the greater the gravity.

This is also the reason why the sun can bind planets and the blue star can bind the moon.

Although Zhong Cang's weight was not high, he had the Earth Core.

The Earth Core of the Mountainous Giant Turtle allowed Zhong Cang to merge with the surrounding earth as long as he stood on the ground.

Therefore, when activating Gravity Art, Zhong Cang not only had his own mass but also linked with the earth.

Yan Lingdie in front of him was suppressed by Zhong Cang and the surrounding earth. It would be a miracle if she could stand up.

"Heavenly Heart's Integrated Union is still not enough. If one day I can completely assimilate the power of the sky with Heavenly Heart, then Gravity Art will not be the oppression of the earth but the joint oppression of heaven and earth on the enemy."

"By then, what should I call this move... Heaven and Earth Collision, or Heaven and Earth Grinding Disk?"

...

The matter of the name can be considered later. Seeing that Yan Lingdie couldn't get up no matter what and was almost in tears, Zhong Cang quickly released the restriction of Gravity Art and let her stand up.

Then, facing her grievances, Zhong Cang comforted her directly.

"Alright, don't be sad. You're at the fifth level of Qi Refining, and I'm at the sixth level. The gap between us isn't that big. Work hard, and you'll catch up to me... probably."

"Stare..."

Yan Lingdie, who had already been comforted by Zhong Cang, glared at him again after his last "probably" comment.

However, Zhong Cang's comfort was effective. At least, Yan Lingdie regained her vitality.

"Hmph, don't be too arrogant. I will... catch up to you."

"Then I'll look forward to it."

After a brief conversation, Zhong Cang lightly flicked his long sword and used the Twelve Melodies of Jade Heaven Tower to bestow Sword Heart upon Yan Lingdie.

Then, he let her practice swordsmanship on the side while he went to the small house where his master was, preparing to report that he had completed the first stage of the Heaven and Earth Eight Trigrams Diagram and ask for resources.

However, upon arrival, Zhong Cang discovered that his master was not at home.

"Did he go out?"
