First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 206: Fourth Heaven of Qi Gathering Realm

Sword intent is not a tangible thing!

It is the interpretation of the sword path by cultivators, the pursuit of the path ahead with a three-foot green blade in hand, and a reflection of staying true to oneself.

At this moment, the essence of the carefree sword intent becomes even richer and more profound.

But its outward manifestation, like Shen Mo's aura, appears even more ethereal and otherworldly.

"Boom!"

The Qi Sea Dantian trembled and expanded outward.

The Dragon and Tiger Indiscriminate Pill's medicinal properties and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth were all converted into spiritual power by the "Purple Mansion Heart Sutra," filling the surplus in the Dantian.

This promotion went exceptionally smoothly!

With the protection of sword intent on the outside and the shining of the scorching sun soul on the inside, not even the heart demon could find a single opportunity to exploit.

"I thought it would take some time to reach the Fourth Heaven of Qi Gathering Realm!"

"Who would have expected such great gains from this climb. Steadily, I have stepped into the mid-stage of Qi Gathering Realm."

"In addition to cultivation, progress in other aspects is also quite gratifying!"

Shen Mo shook his head, and the new head that grew out of his left shoulder quickly transformed into blood essence and returned to his body.

The sudden increase in senses made him somewhat uncomfortable.

And this was just the change from growing a new head and two arms!

When he fully develops three heads and six arms, just dealing with the feedback from his vision would be enough to keep him busy.

In the future, he will have to practice diligently.

His gaze locked onto the Destiny Panel, and he saw that many experience bars for martial arts had skyrocketed, bringing a satisfied smile to Shen Mo's face.

...

While diligently cultivating, Shen Mo's main cultivation technique, the "Purple Mansion Heart Sutra," has also reached a higher level.

In the common parlance of the cultivation world, it has reached the state of perfection!

Of course, on the Destiny Panel, there are still three more realms after perfection, which Shen Mo can continue to cultivate to a deeper level.

His cultivation has improved so rapidly.

In addition to the training on Tian Mountain, the integration and profound mastery of the "Purple Mansion Heart Sutra" also played a significant role.

And the "Supreme Pure Sword Art," "Big Dipper Sword Formation," and "Three Heads and Six Arms True Immortal Technique," which he usually focuses on during martial arts practice, have also made considerable progress during the climb up Tian Mountain.

Several immortal techniques are about to enter the next stage!

After returning, Shen Mo decided to use martial arts practice on the techniques he is about to break through.

As for the cultivation of the "Soul Contemplation Scripture," there is no need to rush!

During regular practice, he needs to gaze at the scorching sun and absorb the artistic conception of the sun in the sky in order to contemplate.

In short, with many improvements, his strength has increased significantly!

"It's time to descend the mountain!"

Even though he couldn't witness the Heavenly Sovereign Sword Qi in person, Shen Mo's trip has already been fulfilling.

If one day he reaches the Yuan Dan Realm, he will come back to Tian Mountain to comprehend the profundity of this sword qi up close!

On the stone steps of Tian Mountain, flying on a sword is not allowed.

Even Shen Mo has to obediently walk down the mountain. Of course, as the pressure gradually weakens, the descent is much faster than the ascent.

Half a day later, Shen Mo descended from the first stone step.

When he saw the reactions of his senior brothers and sisters from the Linqing Sect, he felt somewhat strange in his heart.

Even if he won first place, there's no need to be so excited, right?

The disciples of the Yan Yue Sect all glared at him, wishing they could tear him apart.

"The Tianjian Sect didn't hate me this much even after suffering such a big loss."

"Why do these little birds and swallows hold such great resentment?"

"I didn't even kill Xiao Ling'er!"

It wasn't until he received a transmission from Zhao Lingyin that Shen Mo suddenly realized.

"So that's how it is! No wonder the attitudes of the disciples from various sects are so strange."

A hint of regret arose in Shen Mo's heart.

However, this emotion was quickly brushed away by him.

Since he had already broken Pei Yu's record, there was no use in regretting too much. It would only add to his troubles.

Now, what he needed to consider was how to use this reputation to gain more cultivation resources for himself!

Otherwise...

Who knows if he would end up like Pei Yu, who stunned everyone at the Tian Shan ceremony but fell with regret before reaching the Spirit Sea Realm?

Reputation is like a shadow.

Only with strong power as a reliance can one shine brightly like the sun and moon.

Otherwise, it's just a mirage that dissipates with a gust of wind!

After a few words with Zhao Lingyin, Shen Mo stepped on the Sword of Annihilating Demons and flew up to the suspended stone platform.

Lu Ming, Meng Sanchi, and others had already left Tian Shan early and were waiting for Shen Mo's return on the stone platform along with many powerful Spirit Sea Realm experts.

As soon as he landed, Peak Master Zhou Shili, Elder Huang, and four others smiled and greeted him.

"Not bad, kid! You performed well!" Zhou Shili looked at Shen Mo with a satisfied smile. "You're not unworthy of being a disciple of the Starry Sky Peak. When you return to the sect, I will reward you generously!"

The two elders beside him pondered for a moment after hearing this.

It turns out that this old fox Zhou Shili wants the Starry Sky Peak to take all the credit!

Although Shen Mo joined the Starry Sky Peak for cultivation, his core identity is still an inner disciple of the Linjiang Sect. How can he let the Starry Sky Peak take all the glory?

Immediately, the two elders spoke successively.

"The kid has gained a lot and brought glory to the sect! This is not just a matter for the Starry Sky Peak. The Sunrise Peak will also reward you generously!"

"The same goes for my Moonlit Peak!"

"Thank you, Peak Master, and thank you, two elders, for your generosity." Shen Mo didn't refuse. Why would he reject the benefits he deserved?

Zhou Shili glanced at the two elders and didn't say much.

He hesitated in his heart, wondering if he should take Shen Mo as his personal disciple at this moment.

In terms of talent and strength, Shen Mo is naturally qualified.

However, this matter is not so simple.

First of all, being a personal disciple represents the inheritance of the mantle, not just a simple recognition of status.

Let's not mention the responsibilities and obligations of the disciple for now.

As the master, one must be responsible for the disciple, look for techniques for him, gather resources, and even establish connections for him.

If the personal disciple encounters a crisis, the master must find ways to help him overcome it.

Who knows, he might even get himself involved!

Therefore, in recent years, Zhou Shili, including Lu Ming, has only accepted five personal disciples.

Just these five disciples almost made him go gray with worry!

Secondly, Shen Mo has always been a disciple raised by the Starry Sky Peak.

If he rashly takes him as a personal disciple, it is difficult to guarantee that he won't be restricted by various rules and regulations.

What if it damages his nature?

Just like transplanting a wild spirit plant or precious medicine to a medicinal garden, no matter how carefully it is taken care of, it will never regain its original spirituality.
