Chapter One Hundred: Impact Sword Master
"Shenxu Academy, I didn't expect there to be a place like Shenxu Sacred Mountain. I don't know what kind of treasures are inside, but for the students on the Divine Communication List, it's probably their last chance. However, these aren't things I need to worry about right now. Originally, I could have gone into seclusion at Shenxu Academy and not needed to owe Xia Bingyu a favor. But because Gu Wushuang has a lot of influence within Shenxu Academy, if I were to return there, I would definitely be disturbed in all sorts of ways and wouldn't be able to focus on my seclusion..."
Qin Tianyi slightly closed his eyes and muttered eight words in his mouth.
"The divine and sacred mountain, cannot help but fight to the death!"
The great swordsman, even if he was said to be divine, in everyone's subconscious mind, could never be a match for a swordmaster.
So this time he went into seclusion, his first goal was to advance to Sword Master, and his second goal was to refine the Xuan Gui's Rock.
"A tiny Divine Academy, a tiny Ancient Unparalleled, cannot become the obstacle that blocks my way to the top of the blue sky!"
Qin Tianji's eyes sparkled with a sharp light, and soon, a rock appeared in his hand.
Black Turtle Rock
When the mysterious turtle rock appeared in his hand, Qin Tianji immediately circulated his true energy and penetrated into the mysterious turtle rock, subtly controlling the extraction of the earthy aura contained within the mysterious turtle rock.
As he refined it time and again, the originally colorless true energy gradually took on a hint of yellowish brown, and his true energy also began to exhibit a kind of solidity, a heavy feeling.
The power of the Five Elements can only be fully grasped in the second stage of the Heavenly Sky Sword Master, and Qin Tianyi's current true energy is only imbued with a hint of the Earth Element.
But this is not his true purpose, but rather...
The true energy is constantly refining the mysterious turtle rock, but Qin Tianji's spirit is always paying attention to the spiritual world in his mind.
"No change... did I feel wrong?"
Qin Tianji looked at the Xuan Gui Zhi Yan in his hand, its light gradually dimming, and slightly furrowed his brow.
"Is it because the power of the Black Turtle Rock is insufficient, or are there other factors at play?"
The circulation of true energy is still ongoing, and soon, the light on the Xuanwu Rock has completely dimmed.
After the subtle aura of the mysterious turtle is refined, this rock is nothing more than an ordinary object.
"Huh?"
Just as Qin Tianyi thought he was having an illusion, some subtle changes in the spiritual world suddenly caught his attention.
Root system!
The blue tender shoots surprisingly extended another root system, piercing through the spiritual world and breaking through the barrier between spirit and matter, directly appearing inside Qin Tianyi's body.
It's really happening!
This extremely fine root thread first appeared clearly in Qin Tianyi's spiritual sense, and with a longing for the true energy in his body, it stirred up the flow of true energy.
With a thought, the true energy containing a hint of mysterious turtle aura surged forth, rushing straight up and quickly reaching the divine platform. It converged beneath the extended root system, where the true energy merged with the roots. Qin Tianji could clearly feel this fine root system absorbing the true energy from his body...
No!
To be precise, it is absorbing that one strand of earthy energy belonging to the Xuanwu from his true qi.
"The five elements are interdependent, and earth gives birth to wood. That one tender green sprout needs to grow, obviously relying on the power of the earth element."
Feeling the original earthy aura hidden in the true energy, it quickly disappeared, as if seeing the spiritual world's green tender shoots become more vivid, with a faint green glow.
Although the pale green light was very dim, due to the reason in Qin Tianyi's spiritual world, any subtle change could be felt clearly, and soon he had already detected the location of these lights.
"This is an energy belonging to the material world."
Faintly perceiving the pale green light, Qin Tianyi could distinctly feel a warm intention in his spiritual world, as if a lifeless world had shown signs of vitality for the first time.
"These pale green glows radiate a warm feeling that exhilarates me, to my spiritual world... is healing and restorative effect."
After analyzing for a moment, Qin Tianyi immediately put it into practice.
The next moment, the vast spiritual power in the spiritual world was constantly compressed, compressed, and compressed again. When it was compressed to a limit, it burst out suddenly, turning into a sky full of starlight, illuminating the entire world.
The Star Chart Cultivation Method
"As expected."
The starlight and green light spots shone on each other, some of which changed quickly appeared in Qin Tianji's mind.
"In the past, after I had visualized the Stellar Chart once, my spiritual world would experience a slight tremor and tearing sensation, as if my spirit was exploding along with the starry sky and turning into countless stars. If I continued to visualize for four times in a row, I would feel spiritually weak and have severe headaches. This time... although there were still trembling and tearing sensations, under the nourishment of those green lights, I quickly recovered..."
It seems that in order to completely confirm his own idea, Qin Tianji has once again begun to contemplate the "Star Chart" Refining Spirit Technique.
Right away, without any hesitation, for the third time, fourth time, fifth time!
As the Xīng Tú's Lian Shen Fa's visualization broke through the limits, Qin Tianyi's spiritual frequency also suddenly jumped, reaching 2.4!
But it's not over yet.
"The spiritual world is a bit weak... but it doesn't matter! With these green lights, I can completely break through the limits!"
A flash of insight in his eyes, Qin Tianyi has already begun his sixth contemplation!
A newly formed starry sky world, exploded again.
And then...
Seventh time!
The eighth time!
The ninth time!
The spiritual degree is also constantly breaking through in this imaginative process!
2。5！2。6！2。7！
It wasn't until the tenth time that the green glow completely dimmed, and Qin Tianyi felt the familiar tearing sensation reappear in his spiritual world. His spiritual degree also rose from 2.3 to 2.7 in one breath!
A whopping increase of 0.4!
"For the tenth time, I unexpectedly imagined it in one breath ten times. These green light spots have such an obvious auxiliary effect on my cultivation of the Star Chart Refining Spirit Method."
Qin Tianyi opened his eyes, and they were filled with incredulity.
Just now, for a moment, he even had an illusion that if he could continue under this kind of breakthrough thinking, the twelfth time his spirit would be enough to break through 2.8, the fifteenth time enough to break through 2.9, and if he could think about the explosion of the starry sky in one breath for a full twenty times, his spiritual realm would irreversibly break through the barrier of the great spiritual master!
"What a pity, those green light spots have all been used up. To have such an opportunity again, more geomantic turtle rocks... No! It should be the geomantic turtle's aura! Let that root system extending to the material world absorb more of the geomantic turtle's aura, just like photosynthesis. After absorbing enough of the geomantic turtle's aura, that green tender bud will also spit out enough green light spots."
At this thought, a new path of rapid progress seemed to unfold before Qin Tianyi's eyes, and he felt that his spiritual cultivation would increase at an incredible rate if he followed it.
However, treasures that contain the aura of the Five Elements are highly valued even by Sky Sword Masters. If they didn't need to exchange something urgently, they wouldn't put them up for sale. And in the Great Xia Dynasty, Sky Sword Masters are already among the top-tier powerhouses, second only to those King-level Ancestors who stand at the very peak. If one really wants to collect the aura of Earth Element on a large scale, the best way is to enter the Divine Void Sect! The strong practitioners in the Divine Void Sect are as numerous as clouds, and the ways to obtain the power of Earth Element are naturally plentiful.
But wanting to enter Shén Xū Zōng, he must obtain the quota for new disciples to take the entrance exam at Shén Xū Zōng a few months later.
At this point, Qin Tianyi slowly entered a state of meditation, recovering his mental energy.
One day later, his mental state had reached its peak, and a dan medicine appeared in Qin Tianyi's hand, which was the Void True Creation Dan.
He pondered for a moment before putting this precious elixir aside.
"My current true energy has reached the peak of Neigang, but after all, it's still far from those who have been immersed in the Great Swordsman realm for many years at Shenxu Academy. Even with the help of Xūzhēn Cǎohuà Língdān, the probability of advancing to Sword Master is absolutely no more than 30%."
Thinking of this, Qin Tianyi's hand had already appeared a nine-refined Reverted Spirit Pill, and it was swallowed by him without hesitation in an instant.
The medicinal power of the Nine-refined Reverted-to-Original Spirit Pill burst forth, immediately forming a whirlpool like a black hole, swirling around Qin Tianji's entire body of true energy, drawing all his internal energy into the whirlpool, compressing and refining it continuously.
Although the true energy in his body had liquefied by 30%, and the true energy had been refined several times, this true energy was not something he had cultivated himself. The vortex lasted for less than a stick of incense time, but it already showed signs of being on the verge of collapse and explosion.
"Not good!"
Perceiving the abnormal true energy in his body, Qin Tianyi made a decisive move. The 2.7 spiritual power from the spiritual world suddenly descended and violently suppressed the vortex that seemed to be about to explode. Then, it quickly extracted the true energy absorbed by the vortex and dissipated it. Half an hour later, the vortex finally calmed down, and the various true energies returned to their respective meridians in his body.
"It's no use, if it weren't for my strong spiritual foundation that can completely suppress any internal Qi riot, I'm afraid this time, I would have been blown to death by this sudden collapse of the vortex. The best outcome is that my meridians are damaged, and for a short period of time, I won't be able to break through to the Sword Master realm."
The process was a bit treacherous, but the true energy inside had liquefied another 10% during the compression just now, reaching 40% liquefaction.
At the end of the day, his spirit was simply too strong. A spiritual degree of 2.7, not only had he surpassed the limits that a great spiritual master should have, even among the late-stage Spiritual Path cultivators who possessed divine sense, there were few whose spiritual degree could surpass his. Under such an overwhelmingly powerful spiritual intensity, breaking through to the Sword Master realm was merely a matter of time for him.
"My true energy was slightly shaken, but with my mental endurance, I'll be fine in three to five days. Then, I'll continue taking the Nine-Refined Reversion Pill and challenge Sword Master!"
Qin Tianyi muttered to himself, his eyes without a hint of the dejection that usually came with failing to break through to the Sword Master realm, or the fear of losing control of his true energy for that one moment.
The spiritual strength of 2.7, if it can be stopped by the threshold of the Sword Master realm, is simply unreasonable.
