Chapter 1130: Grinding Stone

Following Happy, the Silver Fox had three purposes:
First, to see what kind of person this self-proclaimed top expert of the Central Plains, who claimed to be influenced by him, really was.
Second, the Silver Fox wanted to understand how Happy went from a novice in the realm of life and death to becoming the top expert of the Central Plains in such a short time, even standing on par with the Evil Emperor.
Finally, and also one of his original intentions, was to use Happy’s cultivation journey to accelerate the improvement of his own strength and that of his three brothers.
The group sailed into the sea and landed near the capital city!
They spent over a day on the ship!
Fortunately, the ship prepared by the Song Clan was quite effective—besides being spacious, it was equipped with mechanical puppets of mythic strength, as well as some merchants who sold basic martial arts manuals used in the martial world.
The Silver Fox and the other three didn’t waste this time idly; aside from going outside occasionally to get some fresh air, they spent most of their time practicing in the cabin.
However, Happy never entered to practice.
After reaching the Wuwei Realm, he had only practiced the peerless martial art of the Wuwei Realm, “One Yang Finger.” During the battle between the Song Clan and the Evil King, this art reached the middle stage of the sixth level, becoming even more terrifying. Even true experts at the mythic realm could hardly withstand Happy’s finger strike, let alone these basic mechanical puppets.
Happy spent most of his time on the deck at the bow, dozing off under the care of the Song Clan’s experts…
The Silver Fox tried to talk to Happy a few times, but seeing that Happy remained motionless without any sign of opening his eyes, he somehow gave up the idea.
…
During the boring time on the ship, Happy certainly didn’t waste it!
His mind shifted to another world from three years ago.
Having practiced in a passive manner for such a long time, his internal energy had already surpassed the Wuwei Realm, leaving behind all those experts who had just entered the Jie Tuo Realm.
As the first player to enter the Wuwei Realm, Happy was called a pioneer of this realm by many and also became a benchmark for martial arts manuals in the eyes of many others.
After all, he was the first to step into the Wuwei Realm…
In the current martial world, there were already quite a number of martial arts manuals related to the Wuwei Realm, but no one knew which ones were better. Everyone was waiting to see how Happy would practice these arts.
Only through continuous and extensive practice could one determine the quality of each martial art.
In the eyes of many, Happy would need to meditate for at least three months to half a year before he could select a decent martial art.

But Happy’s choice surprised everyone—she immediately selected a set of lightness skills, a set of defensive techniques, and a set of swordsmanship. Without further hesitation, she devoted herself entirely to training! Those in the martial world naturally had no idea that Happy had the world three years ahead as a reference, allowing her to fully understand the various attributes, strengths, and weaknesses of different martial arts from various sects. Thus, there was no need for experimentation, and she wasted no time choosing martial arts, instead picking the best ones straight from the sect’s vault. The lightness skills were the Wudang Sect’s “Ascending the Heavenly Ladder”; the defensive techniques were the Asura Sect’s “Asura Golden Body Art”; and the swordsmanship was a unique martial art from the Wuwei Realm, the “Destruction Swordsmanship”. As for mental cultivation techniques, the “Sinew Transformation Sutra” and the “Nine Yang Divine Art” were already powerful enough to defy the heavens! … Meanwhile, while traveling in that world, Happy hurried to the mountain where the Yin Gui Sect’s lair was located—it had been a month since they repelled the Evil King at the Great Buddha Temple. As expected, she “met” Wanwan again in the mountain, but at this point, Wanwan’s strength was only at the early stages of the mythic realm, far too weak to match Happy, who had already reached the Wuwei Realm. “Lady Lan from Gusu…” Wanwan appeared dozens of meters away, staring warily at Happy, who had stopped in her tracks. “What brings you to my Yin Gui Sect?” “So it’s you, Miss Wanwan. It’s been a long time—you look even better than before.” Happy smiled, her gaze boldly roaming over Wanwan’s enchanting figure. “Call the Evil King out!” “This is the Yin Gui Sect!” Wanwan spoke firmly, but her flickering eyes betrayed her true feelings. “I know this is the Yin Gui Sect’s lair. I give you three breaths to bring out the Evil King, Shi Zhixuan. Otherwise, I’ll destroy the Yin Gui Sect today.” Before her words faded, a thunderous voice and oppressive pressure surged from the darkness deep in the mountain: “What boldness!” A majestic voice, carrying painful sound waves, came from the darkness, shaking people’s hearts. But Happy simply circulated her vital energy, quickly dispelling any adverse reactions, and calmly watched as a graceful figure descended between her and Wanwan. The Yin Queen, Zhu Yuyan! Her sharp phoenix-like eyes fixed on Happy’s face, and the pure Heavenly Demon Art made the entire mountain even darker and more oppressive. A dangerous aura began to circulate between the two of them!

Masters at the pinnacle of the Mythical Realm are indeed invincible in today’s world. But for Kai Xin, reaching that peak was no longer insurmountable. With a casual glance at the Queen of Darkness, Kai Xin said lazily, “Queen of Darkness, do you intend to stop me?”
“In my Yin Gui Sect, it’s not your place to act arrogantly!” The dignity of a master at the peak of the Mythical Realm is immense. The Queen of Darkness was utterly enraged by Kai Xin’s disrespectful attitude. As she spoke, she spread her fingers, and an aura of Heavenly Demon energy surged forth. A massive hand, shrouded in dark mist, silently appeared above Kai Xin’s head…
The Heavenly Demon Hand!!
Brimming with murderous intent!
The Queen of Darkness unleashed her full strength at once, using her skills at the peak of the Mythical Realm, determined to kill Kai Xin on the spot.
“Hmph.”
Noticing the Queen of Darkness’s fierce attack, a cold glint flashed in Kai Xin’s eyes.
Dragon Tail Swing!
Whoosh!
It was clearly the first time the Queen of Darkness had encountered Kai Xin’s “Dragon Tail Swing.” She took the full force of the attack head-on. The speed was so great that she was caught off guard, immediately trapped, and faced further threats from Kai Xin.
A sword flash appeared, and the Heavenly Demon Body emerged, its robes bearing three deep cuts…
Wan Wan watched closely from the side!
The moment the Heavenly Demon Hand struck Kai Xin, he mysteriously disappeared in front of the Queen of Darkness and reappeared beside her at terrifying speed. Not only did he kick her, but he also followed up with a powerful sword strike. The power unleashed in an instant was no less than that of a master at the Mythical Realm…
Of course!
Although the subsequent move was swift and mysterious, its lethality paled in comparison to that devastating kick, failing to cause significant harm or threat to the Queen of Darkness.
Still, she was shocked and furious by Kai Xin’s thunderous counterattack:
“Seeking death!”
Although she had heard from the Evil King about Kai Xin’s strength and had personally experienced it, seeing the power of his sword techniques, she quickly concluded that he was merely relying on mysterious moves and his own strong physique and recovery abilities to act arrogantly. His true strength remained at the early stage of the Mythical Realm, making him not worth fearing.
With this conviction, the Queen of Darkness fought against Kai Xin with all her might!
For a time, the mountains echoed with the sound of swords and the vibration of the air.
Wan Wan couldn’t intervene from outside and could only watch Kai Xin fight against the Queen of Darkness, her gaze occasionally filled with mild surprise and confusion.
Those involved are often confused!
This saying is truly true.

After a hundred moves, Wanwan quickly realized that although Happy’s swordsmanship was sophisticated, his understanding was insufficient and his skill level was low, with his techniques being too obvious. Though he managed to put pressure on the Yin Empress through clever tactics each time and evade most of her attacks, it seemed Happy was more focused on improving his swordsmanship. Completely immersed in his sword techniques, he no longer had the dominance he had when he first entered the mountain, nor did he mention the Evil King again… It seemed Happy was using the Yin Empress as a practice partner! Such a strange thought arose in Wanwan’s mind. Her gaze flickered briefly, but she didn’t interrupt their duel. Instead, she observed carefully during their intense exchanges, learning from the experiences of the Heavenly Demon Art. Time passed slowly… Two hundred moves… five hundred moves… eight hundred moves… a thousand moves! The speed of their combat was extremely fast—getting faster and faster! With the refinement by a master at the peak of the Mythical Realm, Happy’s “Destruction Swordsmanship” improved rapidly. In just one hour, it reached the third level, with significant enhancements in speed and power. Now even Wanwan had to focus intently to keep up, otherwise she couldn’t discern the essence of their battles. Two thousand moves passed! Happy’s “Destruction Swordsmanship” was now slightly on par with that of a master in the middle stage of the Mythical Realm. Combined with “Wind Filling the Sky,” the aura of his Heavenly Demon body became increasingly evident. The Yin Empress’s expression gradually lost its composure… Even if she was slow to realize it, she now knew she had become Happy’s practice tool, helping to refine his immature swordsmanship to a level that could pose a real threat to her—going from being completely harmless to a threat in her own right. “Damn it!” But having reached this point, the Yin Empress refused to show weakness under any circumstances. Whoosh! A dark beam shot out from her sleeve, and its sharp sword light instantly shattered Happy’s techniques, forcing him back ten meters. Happy quickly steadied himself, a hint of joy appearing on his face. “Finally ready to take it seriously?” Wanwan, standing nearby, looked shocked. Her master had resorted to weapons—clearly determined to fight with all his might! The two clashed again, sword lights flashing and sharp sword energies intertwining. The temperature in the mountain dropped significantly, making it even more dangerous. Two hours passed… The Yin Empress was defeated! “I give you three breaths to summon the Evil King, Shi Zhi Xuan. Otherwise, I will enter the Yin Gui Sect today and destroy it entirely!” A clear voice echoed far across the mountain.

He raised the “Destruction Sword Technique” to the fifth level using the Yin Queen as a medium, and happily, as he had wished, encountered the Evil King—the second sharpening stone! It was not until they landed by boat that Happy forced the Evil King to leave, returning to the world three years later. He disembarked from the boat and rode swiftly toward Tianshan!
