Immortality Starts With Ignorant Heart Sword Art

Chapter 161: Echoing Resonance, the Army Sets Out! (Please Subscribe)

After careful consideration, Zhong Cang felt that if the Twelve Melodies of Jade Heaven Tower reached a higher level and launched a single attack, it would be perpetually effective and still possible.

At the same time, Zhong Cang also had a strange feeling in his heart. He always felt that the Twelve Melodies of Jade Heaven Tower, with such characteristics, was not simple.

"The Heavenly Tower Jade Capital is always related to the outside world, the sound from beyond..."

"It should be fine... The white jade capital in the sky, the five cities of the twelve towers. Immortals caress my head, and we pledge our love for eternity."

"The outside world, immortals... This cultivation technique was most likely created by the ancient sages after listening to the sound of immortals."

"I have never heard the sound of immortals, but being able to be named after immortals is unforgettable and normal."

After sighing, Zhong Cang stopped thinking about these things and continued to observe the ability of the echoes.

Yes, letting the Heart Sword rise from the enemy's heart sea is not the entirety of the echoes.

Besides the lingering sound of the echoes, there is also the characteristic of the reverberation.

When it comes to Zhong Cang's Sword Heart, after attaching it to others, there will be lingering echoes in Zhong Cang's heart due to the reasons of the sword sound, echoes, and spiritual transmission.

In simple terms, when in the state of Sword Heart, thirty percent of others' comprehension of the sword path will be fed back to Zhong Cang's heart due to the sword sound, echoes, and spiritual transmission.

Thirty percent feedback may not seem like much, and most of the swordsmen who have Sword Heart attached to them do not have a strong comprehension of the sword path.

But don't forget, Zhong Cang's Sword Heart can attach to more than one person.

"If a hundred people have Sword Heart attached to them, it is equivalent to a hundred people cultivating for me. Although most of their comprehension of the sword path can only accumulate my foundation and cannot play a crucial role for me..."

"But the foundation is also very useful."

"When a strong practitioner reaches the Grandmaster level in their cultivation technique, they will be able to draw connections and learn from all methods, and then create their own path using those methods."

"This process takes a long time, but it is essential for top-tier experts."

"Now, with this ability, I don't need to study deliberately. Others' comprehension will become my nourishment."

"If the echoes of the sword sound can increase the proficiency of my Ignorant Heart Sword Art, then I will truly benefit. I will be able to advance to the fifth realm of Grandmaster in the shortest time!"

As Zhong Cang said this, he felt both happy and somewhat sighing.

"I didn't expect the Twelve Melodies of Jade Heaven Tower to be so powerful... No, it's not the technique that is strong, it's me."

A thousand people reading A Dream of Red Mansions will have a thousand interpretations.

Although disciples of various sects practice the same cultivation techniques, the characteristics they obtain are different due to their different experiences and knowledge.

This difference is not a problem when they enter the first realm and become proficient in the second realm. At this stage, cultivators are still in the learning phase and do not have many personal characteristics.

However, at the third realm of mastery and the fourth realm of mastery, cultivators have their own insights.

To become a Grandmaster in the fifth realm, one must establish their own unique style.

Among them, Zhong Cang is particularly different. His enlightenment and knowledge from his previous life have allowed him to display his uniqueness since he became proficient in the second realm.

"Indeed, I am different."

Zhong Cang was initially delighted by his unique abilities, but soon his face fell. He saw the proficiency requirements for Earth Level techniques after reaching the Four Realms Grandmaster level.

[ Twelve Melodies of Jade Heaven Tower, Four Realms Grandmaster (1/720,000), Special Characteristics: Stacking (Triple), Echo ]

[ Ignorant Heart Sword Art, Four Realms Grandmaster (1/810,000), Special Characteristics: Unity of Human and Sword, Sword Heart ]

"Ah..."

"720,000! 810,000!... Is it really necessary to be so exaggerated?"

"If an ordinary cultivator were to have these requirements, they would never succeed in cultivation in their entire lifetime, right?"

"No, even geniuses would find it difficult!"

The excessively demanding proficiency requirements made Zhong Cang feel as if he had seen hell.

"There are too many!"

Filled with confusion and puzzlement, Zhong Cang wasted no time and immediately sought out the Perfected Being stationed there, Hualin, to consult him about Foundation Building cultivation matters.

However, upon arriving at the residence of the Perfected Being, Zhong Cang raised an eyebrow in surprise. He discovered that there was not only Hualin, but three other Perfected Beings present, engaged in conversation.

Zhong Cang was not surprised by this. The support from Jingming Perfected Being, who was ready to take a gamble, was not limited to mere words.

To ensure victory and safety, not only did nearby Foundation Building Perfected Beings come to escort him, but more than four hundred Cloud Firmament Sect cultivators also gathered in Linyuan City, waiting for the operation to commence.

This was to ensure the success of this decisive operation.

...

Upon seeing Zhong Cang, Hualin Perfected Being was very enthusiastic, while the other two Perfected Beings were curious. The last Perfected Being, however, looked at Zhong Cang with unfriendly eyes.

Zhong Cang paid no attention to this. He knew the reason why this Perfected Being disliked him.

He didn't believe in his own plan, thinking that the Demon Sect had four allies while the Cloud Firmament Sect only had Lingyun Sect. In a direct confrontation, the Cloud Firmament Sect would suffer heavy losses and have no chance of winning.

Therefore, his intention was to delay and negotiate with the Dao Sects from several other regions.

With this compromise in mind, he had a clear and opposing attitude towards Zhong Cang's actions of slaughtering the nobles, believing that such actions would only invite enemies for the Cloud Firmament Sect.

He didn't believe in himself, but Zhong Cang didn't care about his opinion.

After greeting the other two curious Perfected Beings, Zhong Cang turned to Hualin Perfected Being and said, "Senior Uncle, I have some cultivation questions I would like to ask."

"Cultivation questions? Go ahead, if I know the answer, I will tell you. Even if I don't know, don't worry, I will have Jingming Senior Brother contact a Gold Core Perfected Being for you."

Having witnessed Zhong Cang's strength and avenged him, Hualin Perfected Being was very enthusiastic towards Zhong Cang.

Seeing this, Zhong Cang no longer hesitated and quickly asked the doubts in his heart.

"Senior Uncle, apart from the proficiency requirements for techniques after reaching the Four Realms, how long does it usually take, based on conventional reasoning, to cultivate to perfection?"

Before Hualin Perfected Being could speak, an old man beside him preemptively said:

"I know this. I have spent some time guarding the Sutra Pavilion in the sect and have studied the cultivation of various disciples."

He coughed, took a sip of tea, and continued, "Entering the Four Realms, when one's cultivation reaches perfection, their cultivation level will correspondingly reach perfection. Therefore, the cultivation level and the level of the cultivation method in the Foundation Building Stage are basically equivalent."

"In the early stages of Foundation Building to the completion of Foundation Building, if one cultivates a Profound Level cultivation method, an ordinary genius would need about sixty to one hundred years."

"Of course, there are also peerless geniuses who can reach the completion of Foundation Building in just thirty to fifty years and even condense a Gold Core when the dragon and tiger meet."

"Furthermore, the more difficult the cultivation method, the longer the cultivation time. In our sect, there are even peerless geniuses who stubbornly cultivate Heaven Level cultivation methods. However, after one hundred and eighty years, the lifespan of that genius is exhausted, and they still haven't perfected their cultivation method. Therefore, the choice of cultivation method must be made carefully."

"But one cannot choose a weak cultivation method either. The quality of the cultivation method is closely related to the quality of the Gold Core. For Ninth Grade pills and cultivation methods below the Profound Level, even if one cultivates them to perfection, there is no chance to condense a Gold Core."

"A Profound Level cultivation method can at most condense a Third Grade Gold Core, while an Earth Level cultivation method can condense a mid Third Grade Gold Core. Only a Heaven Level cultivation method can condense a Third Grade Gold Core."

After listening to all this, Zhong Cang suddenly realized that his proficiency in the Ignorant Heart Sword Art, which was 810,000, was not considered high.

"A realm in the Four Realms encompasses the entire Foundation Building stage of cultivation, so naturally, it takes a long time."

While Zhong Cang was feeling emotional, Perfected Being Hualin spoke with some confusion, "Wait a minute, Senior Shang, I remember that Earth Level cultivation methods can also be refined into High Grade, right?"

Perfected Being Shang, whose surname was Shang, did not refute this, but said helplessly, "Indeed, it is possible. As you know, the cultivation in the Foundation Building Stage is not only about cultivating mana and comprehending realms, but also about finding a suitable geomantic omen. We cultivate our spiritual power and body using the qi of the earth and the qi of the heavens."

"If one can find a Supreme Grade geomantic omen that suits oneself, it is possible to improve the quality of the Gold Core during Core Formation."

"However, now is not the ancient times. The difficulty of finding a Supreme Grade geomantic omen is not lower than cultivating a Heaven Level cultivation method."

After saying that, he thought of something and continued, "Oh, by the way, there is another way to improve the quality of the Gold Core... The deeper the comprehension of the cultivation method, the better the quality of the Gold Core during Core Formation. If one can cultivate the realm of the cultivation method to the level of Nascent Soul when reaching the completion of Foundation Building, it can also be refined into a High Grade."

Upon hearing this, Perfected Being Hualin rolled his eyes directly.

"Hehe, if that's the case, I might as well go find a Supreme Grade geomantic omen that suits me."

...

While the two Perfected Beings were talking, on the other side, Zhong Cang, who had obtained the knowledge he wanted, was preparing to leave.

Before leaving, he also informed everyone of his preparedness and the news that the army was about to set off.

Upon hearing this, even though several Perfected Beings had been cultivating for many years, they were still somewhat nervous. This battle was extremely important and could even be said to determine the fate of the Xuan Yuan Realm.

Taking a deep breath, Perfected Being Hualin asked with concern, "Junior Cang, are you confident? If you can't win, don't be sad, and don't stubbornly fight to the end. The enemy is powerful, and failure is not a crime of war."

Seeing a bright future for Zhong Cang, Perfected Being Hualin spoke kindly.

But Perfected Being Zhu, whose surname was Zhu, did not give him a good look.

"Hmph, you also know that the enemy is powerful!"

"In my opinion, this battle should not be fought at all. You have no idea how terrifying the combined strength of the Four Great Demon Sects is."

"In the current situation, we are sending our disciples to their deaths..."

As he spoke, Perfected Being Zhu stared at Zhong Cang, hoping to dispel his thoughts of launching an attack.

Unfortunately, this was not successful.

"I don't know how strong the Four Great Demon Sect is, but it doesn't matter. In the Xuan Yuan Realm, I am invincible!"

"You..."

...

With the support of Jing Ming, a Perfected Being, and Zhong Cang's previous victories, the objections from the Perfected Being with the surname Zhu had no effect.

On the other hand, the gathering of cultivators from the Cloud Firmament Sect was originally uneasy. Even though Yue Qianqian and others kept telling them how strong Zhong Cang was, they didn't have much personal experience, so they didn't have much sense of it.

Instead, it was the pressure brought by the alliance of the Four Great Demon Sect and the powerful, which was suffocating.

During this time, there were spies everywhere outside the city of Lin Yuan.

Even inside the city of Lin Yuan, daring demonic cultivators often broke in to gather information or intentionally cause trouble.

The continuous harassment made the atmosphere among the cultivators oppressive.

However, this heavy atmosphere was quickly swept away because of the matter of spirit stones.

When it was learned that Zhong Cang and his group had collected eighty thousand spirit stones in the city of Lin Yuan, not only ordinary cultivators, but even Foundation Building Perfected Beings were tempted.

And just when morale was at its peak, Zhong Cang issued the order to attack.

"In three days, the army will set off for Yang City."

"Clatter..."

As soon as the order was given, the entire city of Lin Yuan instantly became like a war machine, completely active.

While the soldiers and cultivators in the city of Lin Yuan were busy preparing, the news that he was about to lead the troops to attack was also transmitted to the various forces in the Xuan Yuan Realm by spies from various families.

Upon learning the news, the various forces in the Xuan Yuan Realm were in an uproar!

"Hmph, not only did they not receive any punishment for annihilating a city, they have become even more arrogant. The Cloud Firmament Sect really doesn't take us seriously!"

"Father, I want to go to battle."

"A butcher as cruel as him must die..."

Those who made such remarks and even prepared to rush to Yang City to assist in the battle were the children of the aristocratic families.

They believed that they were fighting for justice.

"He actually dares to send troops!"

"He really has no fear of death!"

"After one victory, he dares to disregard our Holy Sect. Hahaha, how many years has it been since we've seen such an arrogant person?"

"The war has begun, and he entrusted me to deal with it!"

Not afraid, and even mocking Zhong Cang's recklessness, were the people from the demonic sect.

In addition to the above two types of people, there was also a neutral force that entered the Xuan Yuan Realm and paid attention to the actions of Zhong Cang and others.
