Eternal Life: Hundredfold Rewards-Chapter 364 - 213: A Decisive Victory, Three Sword Sons!
Subsequently, he took out the Three-foot Black Sword and operated the Spirit Devouring Sword Forging Technique, absorbing and refining the Metal Essence Qi within the Three-foot Black Sword to steadily enhance the quality of the Cyan Melody Sword.
When these two tasks were more or less completed, Qi Chuan calmed his mind, closed his eyes, and began to practice the Celestial Punishment Thunder Prison Visualization Method, starting his contemplation.
If utilizing the Metal Essence Qi from the Three-foot Black Sword to advance the Flying Sword has become a routine since obtaining the Three-foot Black Sword at the Wind Moon Sect,
then the Profound Celestial Spirit Devouring Sword Technique and the Celestial Punishment Thunder Prison Visualization Method had to be practiced routinely, almost every day, regardless of the time or place.
Qi Chuan regarded Magical Cultivation and the Divine Soul Realm as fundamental.
And as long as he worked hard, there would be rewards.
As Qi Chuan closed his eyes and contemplated, ripples suddenly appeared in the pitch-black vision, and Qi Chuan felt a change in his sight. His Divine Soul arrived in an ancient and vast world, transforming into a peculiar willow tree, standing atop a gigantic mountain over ten thousand feet high.
Sizzle!
Immediately afterward, in the distant skies, the wind and clouds changed color, and endless Tribulation clouds gathered incessantly, turning into an extreme pitch-black to cover all light above the gigantic mountain.
A thunderous explosion resonated through the heavens and earth.
A tremendous, terrifying heavenly thunder streaked across the vast sky, striking the peculiar willow tree atop the mountain, transforming the surrounding area into a dreadful Thunder Prison.
Crackle, crackle.
A crackling sound emerged from the Thunder Prison.
The Divine Soul of Qi Chuan, now transformed into the peculiar willow tree, immediately felt immense pain.
A moment later, the lightning in the Thunder Prison gradually dissipated.
A trace of fatigue emerged from Qi Chuan’s Divine Soul, marking the end of his contemplation.
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Qi Chuan’s eyelids slightly twitched, and then he opened his eyes.
As soon as he opened his eyes, Qi Chuan deeply frowned because an unavoidable sharp pain surged from his Divine Soul, like a splitting headache.
At this moment, a line of words suddenly appeared in front of his vision.
[While practicing the Celestial Punishment Thunder Prison Visualization Method, your Divine Soul transformed into a willow and underwent refinement from Illusory Heavenly Dao Thunder, triggering a Hundredfold Critical Strike, granting you hundredfold gains, drastically enhancing your Divine Soul.]
As these words appeared, Qi Chuan felt a massive surge of Power of Divine Soul emerging, delivering an incredibly comfortable sensation, dissipating the previous acute pain of his Divine Soul.
Feeling these changes, Qi Chuan looked at the Golden Finger’s prompts with delight.
"A Hundredfold Critical Strike?"
Qi Chuan was quite surprised.
He initially thought it would be a normal session of Divine Soul training.
Unexpectedly, it triggered a Hundredfold Critical Strike, significantly boosting his Divine Soul.
Originally, Qi Chuan’s magical cultivation had not yet reached Core Formation, but his Divine Soul had already entered the Core Formation Stage.
Later, when his realm broke through to the Core Formation Early Stage, the level of his Divine Soul also skyrocketed, far surpassing a normal Core Formation Early Stage.
However, even so, his Divine Soul was still quite a distance away from reaching the Core Formation Middle Stage.
Qi Chuan thought it would take a long time to work on his Divine Soul breakthrough.
But now it’s different.
The appearance of the Hundredfold Critical Strike drastically shortened the "progress bar" of the Divine Soul breakthrough.
His Divine Soul breakthrough wouldn’t take too long now.
"I wonder if I can use this time, less than a month, to work and break through the Divine Soul to reach the Core Formation Middle Stage?" Qi Chuan’s eyes flickered with a hint of anticipation.
If he could break through to the Core Formation Middle Stage before the Three Sects Competition, he would undoubtedly have a significant advantage against the Core Formation Early Stage candidates from the Cangjian Pavilion and Yin Yang Mansion.
Combined with the Divine Soul Secret Technique, the Ninefold Soul Torture Technique, confronting people from Cangjian Pavilion and Yin Yang Mansion would be a dimensional reduction attack.
Obtaining first place wouldn’t be difficult then.
"Let’s give it a try!"
Qi Chuan decided to push for a breakthrough.
After a short rest, Qi Chuan closed his eyes again, operating the Celestial Punishment Thunder Prison Visualization Method.
Just like this, time passed day by day as Qi Chuan worked hard.
Below the Profound Ice Falls, the sight of Qi Chuan painstakingly refining his body had become rare.
Instead, he moved in and out quietly, occasionally heading to the Profound Ice Falls to refine his body slightly.
At the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect, the two candidates for the Three Sects Competition, Qu Xuanlei of the Core Formation Late Stage and Hu Tianying of the Core Formation Early Stage, were both diligently working to enhance their strength.
Sect Leader Zhao Ming, understanding these circumstances, was naturally quite gratified.
...
Meanwhile, far over ten thousand miles away within the vast Sect Domain of the Cangjian Pavilion.
A majestic mountain was sheared in half smoothly, with a deep chasm in the center. Looking down from above, it resembled a giant sword mark.
In this sword mark-like chasm, endless formidable Sword Qi surged brutally.
This is the Sword Mark Canyon, famous both inside and outside the Cangjian Pavilion.
The Sword Qi within seemingly possessed its own consciousness, posing great danger to any non-sword-wielding Core Formation True Master who entered, constantly being slashed by the boundless, terrifying Sword Qi until reduced to dust, dying with regret.
At this time, on the cliff at the edge of Sword Mark Canyon, an upright, sword-carrying elder stood with hands behind his back, gazing indifferently at the depths below.
His eyes were deeply set, giving off an odd feeling, resembling a mundane old man with a common sword at first glance. However, the sword behind him emanated an aura similar to his, as though they coexisted as one. Whether cultivator or commoner, anyone catching sight of him from afar would feel alarmed, instilled with dread and compelled to maintain a respectful distance.
This person is the Sect Leader of the Cangjian Pavilion, Mu Cangtian, at the Core Formation Late Stage Cultivation.
Following his gaze downward, three fierce silhouettes could faintly be seen sitting cross-legged deep in the Sword Mark Canyon.
Each of these three figures carried a large sword, emitting distinct auras corresponding to Core Formation Early Stage, Middle Stage, and Late Stage.
At this moment, dense and almost "viscous" Sword Qi enveloped their bodies. Every strand of Sword Qi, cutting from various tricky angles, exuded an unmatched sharp resolve.
Faced with such a quantity of terrifying Sword Qi, the three figures remained immovable, their faces largely unchanged even with eyes closed.
"The Sword Power of the Three Sword Sons has grown more formidable, impressive."
After observing briefly, Mu Cangtian nodded slightly, retracting his gaze.
In the Cangjian Pavilion, the positions of Three Sword Sons are established.
Assumed by the most powerful True Masters of Core Formation Early Stage, Middle Stage, and Late Stage, excluding the Sect Leader.
The Sword Son of the Core Formation Early Stage is named Qing Jianzi.
The Middle Stage is Huang Jianzi.
The Late Stage is Cang Jianzi.
Mu Cangtian once held the position of Cang Jianzi.
However, he resigned after becoming the Sect Leader, leaving the role to the successor Cang Jianzi.
The Three Sword Sons, being the strongest True Masters of their respective realms, and as Sword Sons, often exerted significant authority, commanding respect even from fellow True Masters of the same realm.
In the same realm, being ordered by another naturally met with disapproval among other True Masters in the Cangjian Pavilion.
Such disapproval led to numerous challenges occurring.
Yet the Three Sword Sons maintained their positions, symbolizing their formidable strength, unmatched by ordinary Core Formation True Masters.
This time, Sword Mark Canyon opened specifically for the Three Sword Sons to cultivate in seclusion, enhancing their prowess.
In essence, Mu Cangtian harbored immense confidence regarding the upcoming Three Sects Competition.
