Immortality Starts With Ignorant Heart Sword Art

Chapter 129: Half a Year to Qi Refining Ninth Level? No, my current goal is Foundation Building within half a year!

In about fifteen days, I completed the cultivation of the first rank of the Heaven and Earth Eight Trigrams Diagram. Upon learning of this, Zhong Cang instantly became the fastest route for Old Qin to leave his name in history and his only aspiration.

"If Cang'er can maintain his current speed of advancement, I might even be able to have my name spread throughout the world during my lifetime and become the founder of the formation sect that relies on human formations."

Thinking of this, Old Qin became somewhat excited.

He also saw hope in surpassing his archenemy.

As a result, he fulfilled all of Zhong Cang's demands.

However, knowing that Zhong Cang needed a large amount of resources for cultivation, he wasn't concerned about the resources but rather feared that Zhong Cang would be too eager and ruin his own body. Therefore, in addition to providing resources, Old Qin also gave him a precious mirror the next day.

The Law Weapon is called the "Heavenly Observation Mirror (Fake)" and is a youthful replica of the sect's Supreme Grade Law Treasure, the Heavenly Observation Mirror.

However, even though it is a replica, its grade is still Supreme Grade. Although it is a replica of a Supreme Grade Law Weapon and not a Supreme Grade Law Treasure.

As for its abilities, they are quite simple, there are two: one is to observe the heavens with the mirror, and the other is to observe oneself with the mirror.

Regarding observing the heavens, it can capture the scenery within a radius of hundreds of miles and allow Zhong Cang to observe the world without moving.

- Of course, in order to capture the scenery within a radius of hundreds of miles, Zhong Cang's cultivation must reach the perfection of Foundation Building in order to fully unleash the power of the Heavenly Observation Mirror.

For now, Zhong Cang can only observe the surroundings within a radius of a few miles.

...

Observing the heavens allows Zhong Cang to know about the world without moving.

Regarding observing oneself, it is like a bright mirror that can observe Zhong Cang's physical condition.

After binding it with a drop of blood, Zhong Cang's thought caused it to fly into the sky and reflect his own image.

The reflection in the mirror can be as lifelike as Zhong Cang himself, or it can remove the surface and reveal the truth.

Just like now, under Zhong Cang's control, the reflection of Zhong Cang in the mirror has revealed the "truth".

"Swoosh..."

The real Zhong Cang is surrounded by a five-colored radiance, and there are also five beast shadows dwelling within his body, each occupying the center of its respective color.

In addition to the shadows of Spirit Beasts, there are also numerous rune patterns on the reflection of Zhong Cang in the Heavenly Observation Mirror.

Rune patterns cover Zhong Cang's entire body, even his brain.

However, although the Heavenly Heart rune is in his mind, it is not dominant in his consciousness. A long sword firmly occupies the center of Zhong Cang's consciousness, pushing everything else aside - the Ignorant Heart Sword Art.

At the same time, the long sword occasionally hums softly, causing ripples to spread in Zhong Cang's consciousness - the Twelve Melodies of the Jade Heaven Tower.

And if one were to carefully observe the long sword, they would discover that there are landscapes engraved on its blade, one side depicting wind and the other side depicting thunder - the Eternal Fall of the Heavens.

Below the long sword is the position of the Heavenly Heart.

However, the Heavenly Heart is still not at the bottom. Within Zhong Cang's consciousness, there is another presence - a giant turtle on a mountain.

The massive giant turtle, at the very bottom, bears everything.

However, among the Five Beasts, only it simultaneously resides within Zhong Cang's consciousness sea and organs.

"Why is this...? Although the Five Beasts Infusion Technique has reached the 4th stage of mastery, it is not considered completely perfected because it has not reached the limit of proficiency. Therefore, only the mountainous giant turtle, which has comprehended the meaning of its own land, can enter the mind."

...

After understanding this point, Zhong Cang continued to observe, and then he discovered that his bones were emitting a golden light.

And in the position of his spine, there were six bright golden dots.

These were the seeds of the Sprouting Soldiers from Beans, which had mutated from the White Tiger's innate spell - Tiger's Accomplice.

After obtaining sufficient resources, Zhong Cang also began to practice this spell.

However, this spell can be considered a growth-type spell and has not fully matured yet.

At the same time, the number of "soldiers" in Sprouting Soldiers from Beans is closely related to Zhong Cang's realm.

His spiritual energy cultivation is only at the sixth layer of Qi Refining, so he can only cultivate six bone bead soldiers.

After scanning up and down and understanding his own situation, Zhong Cang began to observe whether there were impurities in his divine soul, physique, and spiritual energy.

This observation was quite easy, as impurities in the physique can be seen from the blood.

Staring at the blood for a long time, Zhong Cang discovered that there were many reddish-golden substances mixed in the crimson blood.

These reddish-golden substances did not make Zhong Cang feel nauseous.

These were the remnants of the unspent essence of the sun, which can be considered pure spiritual energy.

However, even the purest spiritual energy is a hidden danger if not completely under one's control.

Fortunately, Zhong Cang's Five Organs Divine Palace True Form Diagram was constantly operating, and the reddish-golden substances were continuously absorbed and digested by Zhong Cang's five organs.

Unfortunately, the easiest-to-digest parts were completely digested by Zhong Cang when consumed, and the remaining parts were somewhat stubborn, which meant that Zhong Cang's digestion would continue for a while.

"Twenty to thirty days... Let's consider it as stabilizing my cultivation."

After examining the blood, Zhong Cang's gaze turned to his spiritual energy.

Originally, Zhong Cang thought that his spiritual energy would have some impurities.

However, after searching for a long time, he did not find any.

Realizing this situation, the first thought that arose in Zhong Cang's mind was that the Observing Heaven Mirror was inaccurate.

"Last time, it took more than ten days for my spiritual energy impurities to be completely digested. It has only been four or five days now, and there are no impurities at all. There must be a problem."

"But didn't Master say that the Observing Heaven Mirror is more accurate than the test paper?"

Without dwelling too much on it, Zhong Cang took out the test paper and tested the purity of his spiritual energy.

Then, he discovered that even on the test paper, the purity of his spiritual energy had reached a level where he could consume treasures.

"?!?!"

"Why?"

This scene also stunned Zhong Cang.

Fortunately, he was not stupid and quickly understood what had happened in the past few days.

"......Enlightenment!"

Enlightenment is the unity of heaven and man, and with the help of the heavens, impurities can naturally be quickly eliminated.

After understanding everything, Zhong Cang first took a breath and then felt overwhelming joy in his heart.

The elimination of impurities meant that he could consume treasures again.

Without hesitation, Zhong Cang immediately took out a jade bottle and dropped a drop of Moonlight Spirit Liquid into his mouth.

Unlike the Five-Colored Lotus Seed, Moonlight Spirit Liquid is condensed from moonlight and is the purest treasure of heaven and earth. When consumed, there is no restriction on only being able to consume it once.

During the consumption, Zhong Cang did not close the Heavenly Mirror, but instead let it continue to shine on him.

As a result, when Zhong Cang consumed the Moonlight Spirit Liquid, he clearly saw that the Moonlight Spirit Liquid entered his body like a spring, surging with a large amount of moon-white spiritual essence.

Sensing this moon spirit essence, the five beast shadows within him greedily absorbed it.

"Hu..."

The rapid absorption caused the beast shadows to visibly grow larger.

As the Spirit Beast shadows grew, the total amount of spiritual energy within Zhong Cang naturally increased rapidly.

Qi Refining 6th Layer Initial Stage, Qi Refining 6th Layer Mid Stage, Qi Refining 6th Layer Late Stage...

In a short period of time, the spiritual energy within Zhong Cang's body soared by two small levels.

However, while his cultivation level was improving, Zhong Cang also discovered that the rapid absorption not only caused the beasts to grow larger, but also caused a large amount of moon-white spiritual energy to mix with them.

"So this is where the impurities come from?"

After sighing, Zhong Cang no longer paid attention to this and let the Five Organs Divine Palace True Form Diagram continue to consume and transform the moon-white spiritual energy.

His gaze then turned to his final consciousness.

Since the spiritual energy had been purified through enlightenment, his consciousness naturally became cleaner.

After checking several times and finding no abnormalities, Zhong Cang reached out and took out a shining star soul, pressing it against his forehead.

"Buzz..."

The dazzling star soul entering his sea of consciousness brought even greater shock to Zhong Cang.

Through the Heavenly Mirror, he could clearly see that when the star soul entered his divine soul, his sea of consciousness transformed from emptiness into a beautiful and illusory starry sky.

Countless stars twinkled in the starry sky, and at this moment, all these stars converged towards the Sword Heart, Heavenly Heart, and the giant turtle shadow.

Then, Zhong Cang saw three different ways in which the star soul interacted with them.

Sword Heart was the purest and most aggressive. When the stars approached, the Sword Heart shadow directly collided with them.

"Boom boom boom..."

Zhong Cang could see that as the stars approached, they were shattered by the Sword Heart shadow.

However, through the collision with the star soul, the Sword Heart gradually became brighter.

Next was the Heavenly Heart, which embraced everything like the heavens and the heart.

No matter which star soul approached, it would be accommodated by the Heavenly Heart.

Even the surrounding star shadows would be forcibly absorbed and controlled by the Heavenly Heart.

This domineering style made it equal to the Sword Heart in terms of digesting star souls, despite its lower realm.

The giant turtle, on the other hand, was somewhere in between. When the stars fell on it, a part of them would be digested by its Integrated Union, while the rest would be blocked outside.

The Integrated Union made its body (shadow) larger.

The impact of the stars made its shadow more condensed.

...

Although they had different characteristics, these were all components of Zhong Cang's divine soul.

Just like hands and feet are parts of the human body.

And whether it was through tempering with star souls or the Integrated Union starlight, both allowed Zhong Cang's divine soul to grow.

Once this growth reached a certain level, Zhong Cang's divine soul broke through again and reached the 8th Layer of Qi Refining.

"Buzz..."

From the reflection in the Heavenly Mirror, Zhong Cang discovered that the breakthrough of his consciousness made his sea of consciousness expand by a circle.

"Just an expansion?... It should be that small breakthroughs result in expansion, while big breakthroughs, such as from Qi Refining to Foundation Building, or from Foundation Building to Gold Core, would cause earth-shattering changes in my divine soul and sea of consciousness."

...

The growth of his cultivation and the expansion of his consciousness made Zhong Cang delighted.

Especially when he realized that this was not just a temporary state, but something that could last for a long time, Zhong Cang's excitement became uncontrollable.

"Continuing to cultivate like this, reaching the 9th Layer of Qi Refining in half a year is not a fantasy!"

"Moreover, I can even raise my goal... In half a year, reach Foundation Building!"

...

As Zhong Cang became excited about the growth of his cultivation and even fantasized about reaching Foundation Building in half a year, within the Cloud Firmament Sect, the sect was also in constant motion.
