Chapter 1091
Per Gu King’s prediction, the four Puppet Fighters treated Jian Wushuang as an Eternal Realm expert in the beginning . However, as the battle progressed, their strength gradually enhanced until they reached the level of a Dao Master .

They went from Rank One to Rank Three, and finally to Peak of Rank Three .
Even so, it did not take Jian Wushuang much effort to deal with them .
Then, the four Puppet Fighters rose to the battle strength of an elementary Celestial Master .
It was only then that Jian Wushuang began to struggle .
Celestial Master Yu Ding, who was watching the battle attentively outside the hall, shook his head .
“It’s been an hour and the four Puppet Fighters still couldn’t defeat Jian Wushuang despite gaining the strength of a medium-level Celestial Master . Looks like he’ll be able to obtain the third Soul-luring Incense but it remains to be seen if he can obtain the fourth . ” He looked forward to seeing what would happen .
The third incense could burn for a month .
The fourth was good enough to last an entire year .
Though many Celestial Masters of Green Fire Palace had obtained the Soul-luring Incense, what most of them got was the second incense—the kind that burned for only a day . Few obtained the third .
“Boom!”
Inside the hall, a loud explosion reverberated as Jian Wushuang was thrown backward . He appeared to be in a very wretched state .
Yu Ding immediately looked over at him . “Did he lose?”

Jian Wushuang had indeed lost .
With the four Puppet Fighters, whose strength had reached the level of a medium Celestial Master, working together, it was impossible for Jian Wushuang to soldier on for long .
“I’ve tried my best . I wonder what kind of Soul-luring Incense I got…”
The four Puppet Fighters stopped attacking after defeating Jian Wushuang . One of them went to the censer and inserted the largest incense into it .
The incense was ignited immediately after being put into the censer .
“The fourth one!” Jian Wushuang’s eyes sparkled .
“It’s really the fourth one . ” Yu Ding could not help exclaiming when he saw what happened .
Obtaining the fourth Soul-luring Incense meant that Jian Wushuang could devote himself to cultivation for a whole year under the incense’s guidance . This was a great opportunity for him .
Many Celestial Masters were able to make gains after cultivating for just one day under the incense’s guidance . It would be even more effective if they spent one month cultivating, but Jian Wushuang now had a whole year to do so…
“What an enviable talent . ”
Shaking his head, Yu Ding turned around and left .
Just as he was turning around, the hall became completely closed-off .

The moment the incense was ignited, Jian Wushuang became the only person with the right to stay in the hall to meditate .
“Kid, this is your chance . Make full use of it,” Gu King said .
Not wanting to waste any precious time, Jian Wushuang immediately sat cross-legged and closed his eyes .
Following the burning of the incense, a faint fragrance gradually permeated the hall until it reached his nose . He felt refreshed and relaxed all at the same time .
Thus, he started to meditate .
It went without saying that he mediated using the three Sword Principles that he created .
Coalescence Sword Principle was the only one that reached the Creation Level . In order to upgrade it, he needed to integrate various Sword Principles to form an integral whole .
Though his meditation went much faster than before thanks to the incense, he could not enhance the Coalescence Sword Principle as he did not have other Sword Principle as a reference . Therefore, he chose to focus on his two other Sword Principles: Aurora Sword Principle and Scarlet Yang Sword Principle .
Jian Wushuang began with Aurora Sword Principle . He could only meditate one at a time .
It was a pity that the incense was only effective on one person . Even though he had two Original Bodies, the incense was ineffective on the other one even if it had consciousness too .
“The speed of… Aurora Sword Formation?” he murmured .
He had sunk into complete silence .

In the blink of an eye, an entire month had passed .
Jian Wushuang continued sitting cross-legged inside the hall but a fresh idea was swimming in his consciousness .
The idea came from one of his memories .
It was his memory of the inauguration ceremony of the Supervisor, where his father had killed Celestial Master Lei Yi .
The idea came from his father’s sword then…
His sword was painfully slow yet this was nothing more than an illusion . It was actually unimaginably swift .
“Slow?”
“Fast or slow?”
The idea in his mind became clearer and clearer as he continued to recall the scene where his father used his swordsmanship .
“That’s it! I finally understand it!”
“No wonder I can’t advance my Sword Principle to the Creation Level no matter how hard I tried . It didn’t work even after improved its speed to its peak . So it turns out that it’s not only about being fast, but it’s also about being slow!”
“The speed includes being both fast and slow . The Aurora Sword Principle I created can only go ‘fast’, so even if it has the highest speed, it’s just part of the speed . Its power is still limited!”
“This is like a warrior of the Ancient World . No matter how strong he is, he’s still in the Ancient World and doesn’t know the vastness of the world outside . Therefore, he can never reach his peak!”
“That’s the case for my Aurora Sword Principle!”
“No matter how fast my swordsmanship is, it’s just one kind of the speed . The real philosophy of speed is that one should meditate both the way of ‘fast’ and ‘slow’, and then combine them perfectly . ”
Jian Wushuang’s eyes glinted with golden light .
He had been unable to work past the bottleneck in cultivating the Aurora Sword Principle .
He now knew how to make a breakthrough .
The Aurora Sword Principle had reached the highest level and all that was left to do was for him to create a slow Sword Principle . Once he combined both in a perfect way, he would be able to create the Speed Sword Principle .
“It’s not limited to just the Aurora Sword Principle . Scarlet Yang Sword Principle works the same way,” he murmured .
The Scarlet Yang Sword Principle was the toughest and most positive of all Sword Principles . It sought the extremities .
The opposite of extreme positivity was extreme negativity!
Only by creating the Scarlet Yin Sword Principle and combining it with the Scarlet Yang Sword Principle, could one acquire the Yin-Yang Sword Principle of the Creation Level .
Having figured out this point, Jian Wushuang now had a clear idea of the reasoning behind his two Sword Principles . He continued studying them under the guidance of the Soul-luring Incense .
