Eternal Life: Hundredfold Rewards-Chapter 112 - 87: Qi Chan’Er’s Shock, Cultivation of Profound Celestial Spirit Devouring Sword Technique! (Part 2)
...
The Elder Promotion Ceremony was celebrated for a full three days.
Three days later, on Wind Moon Lake, among the more than twenty islets near Wind Spirit Mountain and Moon Shadow Mountain.
These are all Cave Mansions only accessible to Elders, where the Spiritual Qi concentration is at least at Tier Two Middle Grade Spirit Vein Level, and some are even at Tier Two Upper Grade Level.
However, these Tier Two Upper Grade Cave Mansions can only be owned by a few Powerful Elders in the Wind Moon Sect.
For example, the Fourth Elder of the Sect who once operated a warship, personally leading five hundred Inner and Outer Disciples to destroy the Ye Family, is such a Powerful Elder.
At this moment, Qi Chuan was merely a ceremonial Elder.
At this moment, Qi Chuan sat cross-legged on a bed in a Tier Two Middle Grade Cave Mansion on the western edge of this small islet area.
This Cave Mansion and the nearby islet were more spacious and grandiose than the previous True Inheritance Island, and the items and decorations were much more precious. Some common spirit materials used inside and outside the Cave Mansion might seem ordinary to Qi Chuan now, but among the Inner and Outer Sect Disciples, they would be awe-inspiring.
"Is this the Sword Technique cultivated by the Profound Sword True Master?"
At this moment, Qi Chuan wasn’t particularly concerned about the Elder Promotion Ceremony held earlier, nor about his current position as an Elder.
Because at this moment, he was more focused on the Jade Slip placed on his legs.
This Jade Slip was granted by the Sect Leader a few days ago, containing the Sword Technique of the Profound Sword True Master.
Now that Qi Chuan had been in the Foundation Establishment Realm for several days, his Mana had stabilized, and it was time to cultivate it.
After staring at the Jade Slip for a moment, Qi Chuan picked it up and placed it on his forehead.
As the cool Jade Slip touched his forehead, it instantly emitted a brilliant light, which then transformed into flowing streams that entered through his forehead. Qi Chuan felt a large amount of glowing text appear in his mind.
These glowing texts combined to form a Cultivation Method, flowing gently in his mind.
Seeing this, Qi Chuan’s Divine Soul approached and released a strand of Divine Sense, which touched one of the glowing texts.
The moment of contact triggered countless glowing texts to surge along the Divine Sense into Qi Chuan’s Divine Soul, providing him with a wealth of information.
"Profound Celestial Spirit Devouring Sword Technique... Is this the name of the Cultivation Method practiced by the Profound Sword True Master?"
Qi Chuan opened his eyes, rubbed his brows, and muttered in his heart.
Crack, crack.
At this moment, the Jade Slip in his hand lost all its light, became dim, and even showed some cracks on its surface.
This Jade Slip was evidently a Disposable Jade Slip, which would be destroyed once anyone absorbed the Sword Technique recorded within.
"This Cultivation Method is indeed extraordinary..."
After rubbing his brows for a while, Qi Chuan sighed.
According to the description of the Profound Celestial Spirit Devouring Sword Technique, this Cultivation Method might have significant origins. The Profound Sword True Master speculated that it might have been created by a Mahayana Cultivator, or perhaps it was a Cultivation Method passed down from the Immortal Realm.
This astonishingly peerless Sword Technique is not known how the Profound Sword True Master acquired it.
However, although this Sword Technique is exceptional, it is incomplete.
Currently, it only has seven layers in total.
The first three layers correspond to the Qi Refining Realm.
The next three layers correspond to the Foundation Establishment Realm.
The last layer corresponds to the Core Formation Realm!
However, after reaching the Core Formation, this Cultivation Method has no path forward.
In essence, this Cultivation Method is merely a normal Sword Technique that can be cultivated to the Core Formation Realm, with power stronger than ordinary Sword Techniques, but in some ways, it’s less than a typical Core Formation Cultivation Method.
Because this Cultivation Method, once at the Core Formation Realm, has only a single layer, meaning it can only be cultivated to the peak of the Core Formation Early Stage. Without the next layer, one must switch techniques at the Middle Stage of Core Formation.
From this perspective, the attraction of this Sword Technique for cultivators is greatly reduced, far less than the origins speculated by the Profound Sword True Master.
However, after the seventh layer, this incomplete Cultivation Method records a Spirit Devouring Sword Forging Technique.
This Spirit Devouring Sword Forging Technique possesses a mysterious devouring and refining power, capable of devouring and refining numerous sword-forging materials into the sword body, transforming decay into the miraculous.
Simply put, it allows the essence of sword-forging materials to be continuously refined and merged into one’s Flying Sword, thereby continually upgrading the Flying Sword’s rank, potentially even reaching the level of an Immortal Sword. However, achieving this is as difficult as ascending to the Immortal Realm and may be as challenging as achieving Mahayana Cultivation.
Furthermore, in the process of merging the essence of numerous sword-forging materials, continuously upgrading the Flying Sword’s rank, the Spirit Devouring Sword Forging Technique can be used, using the Lifebound Flying Sword and Divine Soul as mediums, to deduce one’s Sword Technique to higher levels.
With normal effort, there’s a chance to deduce the eighth and ninth layers of the Profound Celestial Spirit Devouring Sword Technique.
But the tenth layer is extremely difficult, as it corresponds to the Sword Technique Level of the Nascent Soul True Monarch.
"No wonder the Profound Sword True Master showed such interest in the Celestial Punishment Thunder Prison Visualization Method and even personally set up the Primordial Spirit Hall, allowing all True Disciples to grasp this opportunity. I suppose the Profound Sword True Master also faced the difficulty of the tenth layer of the Profound Celestial Spirit Devouring Sword Technique."
Now, Qi Chuan finally understood.
And he knew why the Profound Sword True Master directly went into seclusion as soon as he obtained the Celestial Punishment Thunder Prison Visualization Method.
This path of deducing Sword Techniques first tests the rank of the Flying Sword, and secondly, places great demands on the Divine Soul. If the Divine Soul is slightly weak, it’s impossible to successfully deduce the next layer of the Sword Technique, while forcing it could even damage the Divine Soul.
According to Qi Chuan’s thoughts, the Profound Sword True Master probably found his Divine Soul lacking when deducing the tenth layer of the Sword Technique and noticed that the opportunity might contain a Refining God Technique, thus making such arrangements before.
Once he obtained the Celestial Punishment Thunder Prison Visualization Method, he treated it as a priceless treasure, recklessly using it to assault the tenth layer of the Sword Technique, and possibly the Nascent Soul True Monarch Realm.
"The Profound Sword True Master’s goals are ambitious. Once he achieves the Nascent Soul True Monarch status, he might be able to eliminate places like the Celestial Soul Hall with a wave of his hand, and Core Formation Sects surrounding the Wind Moon Sect will also have to pay homage. From then on, they must depend on the Wind Moon Sect for survival."
"But is the Nascent Soul True Monarch Realm really that easy to achieve?"
Qi Chuan sighed with emotion.
Having been in the Wind Moon Sect for so many years, he knew that the Profound Sword True Master, famous for a long time, was actually not young anymore.
It’s not only extremely difficult to deduce the tenth layer of the Profound Celestial Spirit Devouring Sword Technique and advance to the Nascent Soul True Monarch Realm, but even the Celestial Punishment Thunder Prison Visualization Method itself is undoubtedly very challenging.
Even for himself, having personally attained this Visualization Method, it was only through the convenience provided by the Golden Finger that he could grasp it and, in later cultivation, use the additional Power of Divine Soul provided by the Golden Finger to heal Divine Soul injuries, thus continuing to cultivate.
But without these advantages, cultivating the Celestial Punishment Thunder Prison Visualization Method would be significantly more difficult for the Profound Sword True Master.
Even if he could grasp it, he would face issues of his Divine Soul being harmed by the phantom Heavenly Dao Thunder, slowing down his Divine Soul enhancement.
Honestly, during this process, if careful and slow, balancing cultivation and recuperation, one could gradually enhance the Divine Soul without major issues.
However, if the Profound Sword True Master eagerly rushes to become a Nascent Soul True Monarch and tries to swiftly enhance his Divine Soul, he might encounter great trouble.
At that point, not only would he fail to reach the Nascent Soul, but his Divine Soul could be severely damaged.
If that happens, the Wind Moon Sect might fall into great turmoil.
"Ah, these matters are beyond my control, I can only focus on quickly enhancing my strength to handle the potential crisis situation ahead."
Qi Chuan sighed.
Though he had just advanced to the Foundation Establishment Realm, with his strength no longer weak.
Yet, with Foundation Establishment Early Stage strength, he still seemed somewhat weak in the confrontation between two Core Formation Sects.
