Chapter 503: Chapter 296: Proficient in Ku Rong Mysterious Light Technique, State of Sword Heart_2
Even substantial growths of thousand year old spiritual medicines could be cultivated.
After that, refining a fourth-stage treasure pill would be a piece of cake.
“With the presence of the thousand year old spiritual medicine, I should be able to attempt refining a fourth-stage treasure pill.”
“The reason for the scarcity of the fourth-stage pill masters, is inextricably linked to the rarity of the thousand-year-old spiritual medicine.”
“After all, the profession of an alchemist relies heavily on practical experience.”
“If they had never tried alchemy, how could their cultivation improve?”
“Therefore, the vast majority of the fourth-stage pill masters in the Canglan Sea are only at the lower fourth level.”
“It’s difficult to cook without rice.”
“The Ancient era, abundant with thousand year old spiritual medicines, surely wouldn’t only have these fourth-stage pill masters.”
Zhou Sui stroked his chin.
He was still at the lower fourth level of his alchemy cultivation.
After all, his experience with refining the fourth-stage treasure pill wasn’t extensive, so the rate of cultivation was naturally very slow.
But that was expected.
But now it was different. After the Medicine Gu advanced to the fourth-stage, it could nurture a rich supply of thousand-year-old spiritual medicine.
Even if he casually wasted the thousand-year-old spiritual medicine, he would not feel much heartache.
Then, he could continuously raise the cultivation of pill masters, advancing to the middle and upper levels of the fourth stage.
Perhaps in no time, he would be the strongest alchemist in Canglan Sea.
Of course, he didn’t need such a title.
After all, he was only refining pills to improve his own cultivation, and did not intend to sell too many of them.
Clearly, Zhou Sui’s cultivation had improved during the five years, but not just that.
The Hundred Arts of Cultivation also were improved.
Among them, the skills of runes, alchemy, and artifact refining advanced to the lower fourth level,
Only the formation cultivation level reached the middle fifth level, owing to the power of the Array Heart Gu.
Because the Array Heart Gu constantly absorbed the fifth-stage formations of the Ku Rong Island, his prehension of the fifth-stage formation progressed, to the middle fifth level.
He wouldn’t dare say that his formation level was the best in the cultivation world.
But the number of cultivators who could match his formation level was definitely few and far between.
“Finally, my swordsmanship also progressed to the lower fourth level.”
Zhou Sui clenched his fist.
The improvement of many cultivation techniques was superficial.
The improvement of sword cultivation directly enhanced his bat power.
Especially the power of his clone, which, obviously, saw a significant improvement.
After all, his clone didn’t have the aid of Gu insects, and had to rely solely on itself.
So after the improvement in sword techniques, the bat prowess of the clone also became more formidable.
“To improve to the fourth level of swordsmanship is actually quite simple.”
“That is to promote the third stage intent of the sword and advance to the state of sword heart.”
“Reaching this level is like having thousands of swords bowing to you.”
“A further change in sword intent is the Heart of the Sword.”
“Once you master the sword heart, you’ll gain the power of the heart.”
“Under the influence of the sword heart, all things can bee sword.”
Zhou Sui squinted his eyes.
He initially thought that the power of the heart was unique to him, but he didn’t expect that the Fourth Order Sword Cultivator would also possess similar power.
Only when the sword intent is condensed to the extreme, will it condense into the heart of the sword.
Of course, the power of the sword heart a sword cultivator has can’t pare with the understanding of the heart gaze that’s cultivated from his Seven Apertures Spirit Secret.
The strength of heart is at a higher level.
“The sword heart I grasped is naturally the True Dragon Sword Heart.”
“Under the cover of the Sword Heart’s power, the power of the True Dragon overlooks the earth.”
“All things will be controlled and destroyed by the power of the True Dragon.”
Zhou Sui held a long sword in his hand, and he felt an invisible power of sword heart gush out from his body, spreading hundreds of miles around him, as if forming a domain of the sword.
In the sky above, it seemed as if a real dragon had appeared, overlooking all living beings from God’s view, controlling everything.
With just a thought, a sword qi could be fired, beheading an enemy thousands of miles away.
It could effortlessly pierce through an enemy’s body.
It can be said that under the cover of sword heart, every action of the enemy, can’t be hidden.
It could even foresee the enemy’s actions.
This is one of the reasons why the fourth level of swordsmanship is so strong.
The average cultivator faced with a fourth stage sword cultivator is at an inherent disadvantage.
“Of course, different sword hearts will bestow different powers.”
“For instance, my True Dragon Sword Heart will hold power that’s domineering, manding, and unrivaled under heaven, capable of conquering any obstacle and pulverizing all in its path.”
“There’s also one known as the Righteous Sword Heart, able to discern good from evil, perceive wickedness.”
“The Killing Sword Heart, slaughters all things under heaven, unstoppable, and seeping with murderous intent.”
“The Demon-Slaying Sword Heart senses demons and causes double damage.”
“Moreover, the power of the Sword Heart surpasses that of Sword Intent.”
“Silent and shadowless.”
“With a single sword strike, it can penetrate the enemy’s defense, piercing through the soul and vital organs.”
“That’s why a fourth stage Sword Cultivator is considered peerless in bat, even if wearing protective spiritual treasure, it’d be to no avail.”
Zhou Sui keenly sensed the Sword Heart’s power within himself.
He increasingly understood why the Tianjian Sect was currently the top sect in the Canglan Sea Region, and why even Sea Clan Cultivators and Demon Cultivators didn’t dare provoke them.
Because every single Sword Cultivator possessed formidable battle power.
Especially those of the Nascent Soul Level, each capable of striking above their level and challenging those stronger than them.
Just a moment of negligence could result in an ordinary cultivator being pierced through by Sword Qi, dying with no place to bury them.
Back when the Cultivation World was invaded by demons, it was the Sword Cultivators who stood up to fight, each wielding their sword. No one knows how many demons they killed, earning great merit.
Sword Cultivators were regarded as the best bat profession, not just boasting, but carved out in bloodshed.
“No wonder I understood fourth-stage swordsmanship so easily.”
“Understood the True Dragon Sword Heart.”
“It turns out, from the beginning, I already grasped the strength of heart.”
“In this way, prehending fourth-stage swordsmanship was even easier.”
Zhou Sui stroked his chin.
No wonder he found prehending the True Dragon Sword Heart so simple, as though everything fell into place naturally, without requiring much effort.
To be honest, he heard that very few Tianjian Sect cultivators could bee Nascent Soul cultivators and prehend fourth-stage swordsmanship.
To date, the number of Nascent Souls in the Tianjian Sect was the smallest.
Possibly less than half of other Nascent Soul sects.
But their bat power was the strongest.
“For sword cultivators, the most challenging part isn’t forming the nascent soul, it’s understanding the Sword Heart.”
“Once the Sword Heart is prehended, the Heart Devil Tribulation is no longer an issue, as it can be torn apart with a single sword strike.”
“Simultaneously, it’s not a problem for the Heavenly Tribulation.”
“Powerful Sword Cultivators aren’t afraid of the Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation.”
“So, understanding the state of Sword Heart, for sword cultivators, is the highway to a nascent soul.”
“prehending the Sword Heart nearly guarantees attainment of a nascent soul.”
Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes.
Apparently, the sword cultivation path was extremely difficult; yet once unraveled, it was extremely powerful.
No need to borrow external forces, one could rely solely on oneself to tread a broad and smooth path.
But he was not a cultivator who focused solely on swordsmanship.
For him, swordsmanship was just a tool to enhance his bat power.
It would be great if it continued to increase.
But if the cultivation of swordsmanship cannot continue to ascend, it doesn’t matter.
His core was to control all insects from the Insect God Sutra.
“Yes, my Ancient Turtle Skill had also leveled up, reaching the second stage.”
Zhou Sui gave a faint smile.
Apart from swordsmanship and the Proficient withering and flourishing mystic light, he had also advanced in his Ancient Turtle Skill.
This defensive cultivation technique was considered unparalleled in the world.
Once this technique was mastered, one could form the Ancient Turtle Shield, providing full-rounded protection to the body.
Upon reaching the second stage, he could form two layers of the turtle’s defenses.
pared to before, his defense had increased exponentially.
Now, the Qi shield he formed was like a real turtle shell.
Even if he stood still, he could withstand a Nascent Soul Cultivator’s bombardment.
Even capable of repelling a Sword Cultivator’s attacks.
This demonstrated the supremacy of the Ancient Turtle Skill, the ultimate defensive technique.
After cultivating for several hours,
Zhou Sui consolidated his cultivation, exiting his quiet room feeling refreshed. That’s when he saw Ji Bingyu and others approaching.
