All of his mind was imrsed in the understanding of the "Sword Intent Becoming Formidable".
In his mind, the profound mystery of "Dispersing Qi Returns to Origin" and "Condensing its Spirit" echoed continuously.
The "Qi Hui Spiritual Pearl" worn close to his body continuously emitted a cool and gentle aura, nourishing his Sea of Consciousness, making his thinking unprecedentedly clear and sharp.
Many previously obscure and difficult to understand junctures now seed as clear as the clouds parting to reveal the sun.
Unaware of how much ti had passed, Xu Ping’s movents gradually stopped.
But he still quietly comprehended the embryonic idea of "Ten Thousand Swords Returning to Flow".
A mont later, Xu Ping opened his eyes, and with a thought, the panel naturally appeared:
[Sword Intent Becoming Formidable (First Transformation) Mastery: 368/400]
...
"Not bad, only 32 points of proficiency left before I can break through again and reach the level of Minor Achievent in the First Transformation." Xu Ping smiled, feeling delighted.
The effect of this "Qi Hui Spiritual Pearl" was even greater than he had anticipated.
It not only enhanced his comprehension but also seed to help him better concentrate, capturing the mysterious "Form".
"At this rate, it will only take seven or eight years at most to reach the level of Minor Achievent, and the power of Sword Dao will surely ascend to a new height!"
A trace of anticipation appeared in Xu Ping’s eyes.
By then, when facing the Hehuan Old Demon and the Dual Saints again, he could be more composed.
No matter what plans the other party has, he will break them with force.
Of course, improving his strength urgently is partly to face the imminent threat of the Star Palace Saints and the Ancient Demon.
But a deeper reason is the need to compete for the Divinity Transformation Realm—
Xu Ping knew very well that neither the Wind Origin Realm he was currently in nor the Nanchuan Realm had the soil capable of naturally birthing Divinity Transformation Cultivators due to the world’s rules.
Countless incredibly talented Nascent Soul Perfect Cultivators were trapped and died in this realm, turning into regretful sitting Buddhas.
"In this realm where Divinity Transformation does not exist, I have the opportunity."
Xu Ping’s gaze was cold as he calculated in his mind, "And whether it’s waiting for them to ascend to the Upper Realm on their own, enduring until they die of old age, or... killing them, all are feasible."
The words "killing them" rolled over his heart with an icy murderous intent.
Waiting is too passive, and the variables are endless; only by holding destiny in his own hands can he be certain.
However, given his current strength, wanting to kill the deeply rooted, Star Palace commanding Dual Saints is undoubtedly a fool’s dream.
Even if he succeeds in cultivating the "Nirvana Golden Body" and his Sword Intent reaches First Transformation Perfection, he might still struggle to compete, let alone kill them.
But, if the target is switched to the Divinity Transformation Ancestor of the Heaven-Suppressing Sect, the thought becos seemingly more operational.
The Heaven-Suppressing Sect had a long-standing grudge with him, and he had not forgotten the pursuit he once suffered.
Moreover, compared to the collaboration of the Star Palace Saints, the lone Heaven-Suppressing Sect Ancestor in the Nanchuan Realm is undoubtedly a better target.
"Perhaps, at that ti, I could enlist the help of the Nine Nether Elder," Xu Ping thought secretly.
This seasoned Ghost Cultivator not only had formidable combat power, able to directly confront Divinity Transformation, but his expertise in arrays was extraordinary too.
If he sets up an ultimate array, the success rate of trapping and killing Divinity Transformation will surely increase significantly.
With both joining forces, each demonstrating their strengths, there is a great hope to kill him.
However, the prerequisite for all of this is having the strength to participate in and influence the battle.
"I need to at least achieve First Transformation Perfection in Sword Intent while successfully cultivating ’Nirvana Golden Body’, reaching the pinnacle of the Nascent Soul Realm in both my physical body and Sword Dao."
"Then, coordinating with the Nine Nether Elder, perhaps I would truly possess the qualification and ability to kill Divinity Transformation!" Xu Ping clearly planned out his future path.
Temporarily pressing down the chaotic thoughts, Xu Ping moved his mind, and the Canghua Divine Wood Sword transford into a gentle green light, rging into his brow and returning to his Nascent Soul to continue nurturing.
He stood up tall, deciding to relax his mind for the mont. With a flicker of his figure, he appeared outside Duan Shuang’s elegant and quiet cave dwelling.
Since Duan Shuang’s Divine Sense realm successfully broke through to the Late-Stage Nascent Soul with his "help", Xu Ping’s visits to "listen to music" had increased significantly.
This was not solely for indulging in gentle company, but because the stronger Duan Shuang’s Divine Sense beca, the greater the enhancent to his own Divine Sense.
Inside the cave, incense wafted in delicate curls, soothing and invigorating the mind.
Duan Shuang had already sensed his arrival, sitting behind the jade zither with beautiful eyes full of boundless tenderness and a trace of hard-to-detect admiration.
Her delicate fingers plucked gently, and the soothing and graceful music flowed out like a clear spring, washing away the evil qi brought by battle and the impatience accumulated by cultivation.
Strum... Ripple...
The music initially started as softly as a spring breeze moistening everything silently.
As ti passed, the lody gradually beca agitated, like the clanging of weapons, the slaughter of the battlefield.
Finally, the music reached a moving climax, slowly subsiding and returning to tranquility.
The lingering notes were long, as if the great Dao is simple, all laws returning to the source.
When the tune ended, the cave was slightly warm from the rising heat, and the Spiritual Qi beca more active due to the music.
By the spirit pool, Xu Ping embraced Duan Shuang’s warm and soft body, the snow-white and delicate touch enough to make any man’s heart flutter.
But at this mont, Xu Ping closed his eyes slightly, with his mind sinking into the Sea of Consciousness, carefully comprehending the enhancent brought by this "music listening".
Not knowing how much ti had passed.
Duan Shuang’s long eyelashes trembled, her starry eyes slowly opened, nestled in Xu Ping’s embrace with a satisfied blush on her face.
After a mont of warmth between the two, Xu Ping stroked her hair and asked, "Shuang’Er, you’ve stayed at the Peak of Mid-stage Nascent Soul for so years now, how has your foundation been polished?"
"Is it ti to prepare for the breakthrough to the Late-Stage?"
Once Duan Shuang’s cultivation successfully breaks through to the Late-Stage Nascent Soul, her Divine Sense will inevitably soar accordingly.
