With the continuously growing little thunder dragon by his side, Chen Xuan looked forward to his first Tribulation Crossing. Only by going through this would he be able to comprehend more of the laws of heaven and earth and cultivate his several great supreme techniques.
The "Sword of Time," the third sword style taught to him by Dugu Ye, was divided into two forms: the first was the "Past Form," which could temporarily weaken an enemy's magical treasures and cultivation back to their state in the past. The second was the "Future Form," which could briefly elevate his own cultivation to the level he might reach ten, a hundred, or even a thousand years from now.
Chen Xuan had already mastered the first form, but he had long been unable to grasp the essentials of the second. The reason for this lay in the fact that such profound sword techniques demanded an extremely high level of comprehension of the laws of heaven and earth. The same was true for the latter portions of the Seven True Martial Forms, the Heavenly Pulse Divine Sword, and the "Heaven-Slashing Sword-Drawing Technique" gifted to him by the Sacred Monarch of Seven Nights—all these top-tier techniques required a profound mastery of the laws of heaven and earth from the practitioner.
