Senior, do you have any further instructions? If not, junior will go to the next Heavenly Capital.

Sword Grave - Sword Tomb

After a brief silence of a few seconds, he sighed and said: "Alas, since I said I would pass on a sword technique to you, going back on my word is not good. But you are so powerful that you probably wouldn't deign to learn my sword technique, so I'll give you the sword manual and let you decide what to do with it."

According to Character's meaning, this skill should have been directly transmitted to him; it cannot be given to others.

But he is too strong; the old man feared he wouldn't be willing to learn it, so he rewarded him in the form of a skill book. If he wants it, he can pass it on to someone else.

Character watched him leave and sighed: "The Sword Tomb has buried bones for eight thousand years, yet such a genius has appeared in the world. This child will surely become a peerless powerhouse who stirs the heavens and earth."

Spirit Break - Spirit Breaking

The woodcutter, who was grilling beef while sneaking a peek, also lamented: "This little guy is too exaggerated—just casually annihilating a sword spirit would be enough, but even that brat Character can't withstand one of his minor skills… Fortunately he didn't deploy his true form; otherwise, the destruction of his true form's primordial soul would have meant certain death."

The meat of the Great Ascension-stage savage beast ox sizzled and oozed oil, its aroma filling the air.

He cut off a piece with his firewood knife to taste, watching Xiao Feng continue his journey down the mountain, and thought: "With his strength, the thirteen trials of the Sword Tomb are nothing. He seems to need immortal crystals; I might as well take him to Yunchu Shan for a trip, ask those old fellows for some, and in the meantime use his hand to settle one of my own matters. Tsk… this beef is really delicious; how come I never encounter such tasty savage ox?"

Great Ascension - Great Vehicle Stage

Tier 1 Secret Art - First-Level Secret Technique

The game developers are no better—making a dungeon out of such a vast Twelve Heavens without even reducing the map scale; they're really stupid!

After finally descending Longyan Peak, Xiao Feng opened the map and saw that the location of the 2nd boss, 'Piaomiao Peak', was over 300 kilometers away!

Along the way, whenever he encountered minor enemies, Xiao Feng instantly killed them.

Upon reaching the midsection of Piaomiao Peak, there was another mountain‑ring road that needed to be climbed.

Da Bai was quite obedient, carrying him all the way while flying and climbing, clearing all minor enemies along the way without stopping.

By the time Xiao Feng climbed to the summit and saw the 2nd boss, nearly four hours had passed since defeating the 1st boss.

Piaomiao Peak is very high; among the Twelve Heavenly Capital Peaks, it ranks second in elevation, with a relative height of about 35,000 meters.

Standing on the summit of this mountain and looking at the surrounding other peaks, they were all beneath his feet, with only one slightly higher.

The combat area of the 2nd boss differs from that of the 1st boss.

The summit of this mountain is a lake, somewhat like a volcanic heavenly pool, but much larger in scale, spanning over a hundred kilometers.

Around the lakeside are scattered villages and towns, sparsely distributed, but uninhabited—just an empty‑city scene within the instance.

Xiao Feng rode a white crane to fly above the lake surface; at the lake's center, a female Sword Cultivator sat cross‑legged on the water, letting the lake water wet her robes, her eyes never opening.

Xiao Feng checked her information.

【Piaomiao Peak Chief Sword Cultivator — Miao Yun Fairy Maiden】

Level: 975 (Great Completion)

HP: Unknown

Note: You only need to defeat her phantom.

The boss's description is hardly different; this time, Xiao Feng didn't encounter an invisible wall and could directly contact the boss's true form.

Miao Yun Fairy Maiden sat silently, eyes closed, her vermilion lips slightly parting as she spoke: 'Outsider Xiao Feng, I have heard of your battle with Character; I therefore confront you with my true form's primordial spirit—what do you say?'

So that means no phantom?

Xiao Feng exclaimed in surprise: 'What's the difference?'

Miao Yun Fairy Maiden replied: 'Yes. The true form's primordial spirit is more than ten times stronger than the phantom; if you can win, you may obtain the natal flying sword I used in life—this is it.'

As she spoke, without any visible movement, a dark‑blue long sword surfaced from beneath the water.

That sword looked as if carved from ice‑jade, exquisitely splendid, with a slender blade and an ice‑silk sword tassel hanging from the hilt—clearly a woman's weapon.

【Cold Jade Sword】

Equipment Requirement: Level 800 Great Completion or Ice System Comprehension Value reaching 500

Special Effect: 【Bone-Piercing】 When using ice-attribute sword qi, deals an extra 300% damage and applies a strong freezing effect to enemies, lasting 3 seconds.

Active Effect: 【Instant Ice Blossom】 Freezes one enemy, causing them to lose all defensive attributes for 5 seconds, and increases your damage against them by 300%, with a cooldown of 60 minutes.

"This weapon is not bad, it's even better than the Ten Thousand Dragon Divine Staff."

Xiao Feng saw the weapon's information, feeling its value was definitely high; even if few people can use it at this stage, he could sell it for a good price!

However, regarding the 'Original Body Primordial Soul' going into battle, he still had some curiosity.

"Your body is the Original Body Primordial Soul; if I kill you, will you be completely annihilated, or will you still exist when the trial is opened again?" he asked.

Miao Yun Fairy Maiden lightly replied: "Both form and spirit will be destroyed. When you come next time, someone else will take my place."

Xiao Feng's heart stirred slightly: "Then why do you still fight with your true body? Aren't you afraid of death?"

Miao Yun Fairy Maiden slowly opened her eyes, a faint smile playing at the corners of her mouth, and countered: "Isn't this exactly the best liberation?"

Xiao Feng frowned slightly, and fell silent.

He seemed to understand; these guardians in the Sword Tomb were actually the souls of the dead, lingering here for some reason to test players.

Though people are dead, they still have to endure endless ages here; this is indeed a kind of suffering.

For her, complete annihilation might truly be liberation.

He then nodded and said: "Alright, let's fight; I'll see you off on your final journey."

"Thank you, fellow Daoist; I'll make the first move."

Miao Yun Fairy Maiden gave a slight nod, lifted her jade hand, and the Cold Jade Sword flew into the air, instantly transforming into countless ice-blue sword blades that shot toward Xiao Feng.

At the same time, her health bar appeared, no longer "unknown", but a clear value—48 trillion.
