Immortality Starts With Ignorant Heart Sword Art

Chapter 214: The Invincible Path, the Meaning of Supreme Power!

The cultivation technique that Zhong Cang had meticulously planned for and relied on to rise in the early stages was the "Ignorant Heart Sword Art." However, as Zhong Cang did not want to pursue the path of sword cultivation, he relaxed his cultivation of this technique.

However, relaxation does not mean giving up. In his free time, he would still spend two hours meditating on the sword.

As a result, the proficiency of this technique continued to increase rapidly.

After several months of cultivation, the progress of the Ignorant Heart Sword Art had also advanced by a small section.

At this point, the Ignorant Heart Sword Art had already reached the Fourth Realm Master stage, with a proficiency limit of 810,000.

Such a high level of proficiency could not be cultivated in just a day or two. Even with the Heaven Rewards Diligence, which allowed Zhong Cang to increase his proficiency with each cultivation session, his progress would still be measured in years.

Of course, this speed was still considered fast in the Foundation Building stage, even too fast.

After all, normally, it would take 60 to 100 years for a genius in the Foundation Building stage to progress from the initial stage to the completion of the Foundation Building stage.

As for why they were directly referred to as geniuses, it was because... they were not geniuses. Most cultivators who relied on elixirs to reach the Foundation Building stage did not reach the day when their cultivation was completed.

Spending about sixty years to advance their cultivation to completion and then planning for Core Condensation was the norm in the cultivation world.

The cultivation in the Foundation Building stage was the cultivation of the Grand Master stage of the main cultivation technique.

In other words, it would take about sixty years for a genius cultivator to advance their technique from the initial stage of the Fourth Realm Master to the completion of the Grand Master stage.

Compared to them, Zhong Cang could make his technique reach completion after several years of arduous cultivation, which was naturally considered fast.

However, the advancement of the technique's realm was not limited to arduous cultivation alone.

In addition to arduous cultivation, one could also rely on enlightenment.

Some special techniques could also be improved through corresponding "achievements."

For example, cultivators who comprehended the rules of killing and cultivated the path of slaughter could improve themselves not only through arduous cultivation and enlightenment but also through killing.

Killing one person is a crime, killing ten thousand people is a hero, killing nine million people is the greatest hero.

For these slaughter maniacs, as long as they kill enough, their strength can skyrocket.

If they kill billions or slaughter an entire realm, they can even become Great Demons that even Nascent Soul stage cultivators fear.

Apart from killing, cultivators who follow the path of nature can improve themselves by planting trees.

If they can turn a desert into a forest, stimulated by their "achievements," their techniques can also be improved.

There are also experts in the Buddhist Gate who can improve themselves through merits, such as building temples in harsh and cold places.

Cultivators who follow the path of the Earth Immortal can improve themselves by arranging the earth's veins and promoting the mountains and rivers they occupy to become spiritual lands.

Arduous cultivation, enlightenment, and "achievements" are the three ways of cultivating the righteous path.

And Zhong Cang's recent actions happen to align perfectly with the Ignorant Heart Sword Art, increasing its "achievements".

"No, it's not the Ignorant Heart Sword Art, it's the Sword Intent of the Heart!"

As Zhong Cang's cultivation of the Ignorant Heart Sword Art reaches the fourth realm, it gains the characteristics of the Sword Intent of the Heart, and Zhong Cang's cultivation shifts to focus on this aspect.

The Sword Intent of the Heart emphasizes the power of the will, and the stronger and more determined Zhong Cang's will becomes, the more powerful the Sword Intent of the Heart will be.

In the past few days, although it was not Zhong Cang who took the initiative, he was indeed invincible in the Yunmeng Heavenly Domain.

At the same time, faced with this situation, Zhong Cang did not fear, but rather felt that he was invincible among his peers, and with his strong strength, he truly swept through those of the same level.

These actions have brewed an invincible intention in Zhong Cang's heart!

This invincible and powerful will happens to align with the Sword Intent of the Ignorant Heart Sword Art.

As a result, the power of Zhong Cang's Ignorant Heart Sword Art has greatly increased, and his proficiency has also surpassed 270,000, completing one-third of the cultivation of the Ignorant Heart Sword Art.

In the words of the Immortal Cultivation World, Zhong Cang's cultivation of the Ignorant Heart Sword Art has crossed the early stage of the Grandmaster realm and reached the middle stage.

And this small advancement has brought Zhong Cang a small characteristic - the invincible intention.

The effect of this characteristic is that when Zhong Cang draws his sword, there will be an invincible thought that intimidates the hearts and souls of his enemies.

If the enemy's will is weak, this invincible thought can directly crush their will, making them dare not resist.

Those who have been defeated by Zhong Cang's sword will experience an increased pressure from his imposing aura.

This characteristic can already be considered strong, and Zhong Cang can feel that he has just begun to walk this invincible path.

If he can keep winning in peer battles, Zhong Cang's willpower will become stronger and stronger.

If he can truly dominate a domain and become invincible among his peers, Zhong Cang's Ignorant Heart Sword Art may even directly enter the 5th realm of a Grandmaster.

"To walk the path of invincibility and cultivate the strongest intention... Should I continue on this shortcut?"

Zhong Cang pondered, and he was the only one who saw the invincible path as a shortcut.

The others do not have the strength to dominate a domain, even if they want to walk this path, they cannot.

As for why there is a shortcut, Zhong Cang pondered. Naturally, the invincible path is fast and strong, but it has a fatal flaw - it cannot be defeated.

Even if he loses once, Zhong Cang's invincible path may collapse directly, and even the previously accumulated imposing aura will dissipate.

This is also the reason why many geniuses, especially swordsmanship geniuses, shine brightly when they win but fall into endless despair once they fail, even if it's just once.

It can be said that the path of invincibility is not easy to walk.

At the same time, Zhong Cang is currently walking the path of invincibility among his peers, not the path of being invincible in the world like a Great Emperor.

For the former, as long as he does not lose to his peers, Zhong Cang has hope of success, but it is also very difficult.

After considering it for a while, Zhong Cang made his choice - to continue walking!

"The Invincible Path is the fastest way to enhance the Ignorant Heart Sword Art. Moreover, in my attribute panel, apart from Heaven Rewards Diligence, there is also Once Proven, Forever Proven. As long as I advance, even if I fail, the Invincible Path will only be broken, not regressed, and the proficiency gained will still exist."

"At that time, as long as I continue to comprehend and cultivate diligently, I can seamlessly connect to the accumulation of the Invincible Path."

"The back road is already prepared."

However, Zhong Cang does not want to activate this back road. He wants to go through the Invincible Path and let the Ignorant Heart Sword Art leap to the rank of Grandmaster in the Five Realms!

After all, for such a powerful technique like the Ignorant Heart Sword Art, after advancing to Grandmaster, what kind of characteristics will be obtained is something he is looking forward to.

At the same time, a thought flashes through Zhong Cang's mind:

"If I want to take this path, I need to change my way of fighting in the upcoming battles..."

...

Let's not mention Zhong Cang's contemplation about the technique.

On the other side, because Zhong Cang has won fifteen battles as an outsider, suppressing the local geniuses, the atmosphere in the Tianhai Immortal City has become somewhat oppressive.

The cultivators in those regions with a strong sense of honor are holding a grudge and also have some fear towards Zhong Cang.

And without taking a step, Zhong Cang has already shattered the reputation of his enemies, causing a sensation throughout the world.

In this situation, the news of Qin Ru's impending arrival is like a shot of adrenaline, making the Tianhai Immortal City lively again.

Currently, the entire Tianhai Immortal City is talking about Qin Ru's strength and past achievements.

For example, he was born with the Nine Yang Body, with nine times the spiritual energy in his body compared to ordinary cultivators, and it is extremely compatible with the Sun attribute techniques.

Or the techniques he cultivates, the Golden Crow Body Tempering Art and the Great Sun Mighty Spirit Scripture, are both Heaven Level.

He even killed a Foundation Building demonic cultivator with only the cultivation of the seventh level of Qi Refining.

"Qin Ru is strong in Qi Refining, and after he advances to Foundation Building, he will be even more powerful. It is said that with the formidable physique cultivated by the Golden Crow Body Tempering Art, Qin Ru once bound a Flood Dragon with his bare hands."

"Hiss, a Flood Dragon? Are you sure a person can wrestle with a Flood Dragon?"

"Ordinary people naturally can't, but with the Golden Crow Body Tempering Art, one can use the fire of the sun to burn oneself and forge the Golden Crow Sun Body, so binding a Flood Dragon is not difficult."

"With the spiritual power of the Great Sun Mighty Spirit Scripture and the physique of the Golden Crow Body Tempering Art, Zhong Cang will have a hard time this time."

"It's good that it's hard."

...

The cultivators in the Tianhai Immortal City breathed a sigh of relief, and among those who relaxed, there was also Yan Miaoyin, who was a guest in the Dragon Palace.

Fifteen battles and fifteen victories, such a terrifying record has also put pressure on her and her companions.

As a true disciple, she is not afraid of losing, but she dare not lose.

After losing, she has her sect to take care of her, so there won't be any problems, but her sister will be in trouble.

Currently, hearing the news of the senior brother from the Haoyang Sect taking action, she truly breathed a sigh of relief.

The Yan family also felt relieved.

As opponents and behind-the-scenes manipulators, the stronger Zhong Cang becomes, the more awkward their situation becomes.

Therefore, they are the ones who least want Zhong Cang to continue winning.

In this way, because of Qin Ru's arrival, the Tianhai Immortal City once again became lively and bustling.

People were discussing who would win or lose in the battle, and such discussions were everywhere in the city.

Many outsiders also rushed to the city.

These second-time visitors were not all cultivators with a strong sense of honor for their region. Many of them just wanted to witness the battle between the Apex Level geniuses and hope to gain something from it.

After all, battles between Apex Level geniuses are not uncommon.

From such battles, they can see the gap between themselves and the top geniuses. Some cultivators with strong comprehension will gain something from it.

Their arrival made the Tianhai Immortal City even more lively.

At the same time, there is another thing that shows the uniqueness of the true disciple battle.

In the past half month, there have been a continuous stream of challengers to Zhong Cang.

But after the news of Qin Ru's impending arrival spread, for three consecutive days, no one challenged him.

This calm before the storm is a sign of respect for the true disciple battle, but it also makes people more nervous.

In this noisy and tense atmosphere, three days passed in a flash.

On this clear morning, as the sun rose, a proud voice sounded from outside the city, spreading throughout the city.

"Zhong Cang, come and fight!"

"Boom..."

The moment this voice sounded, the city erupted in excitement.

"He's here, the big battle is here!"

"I came from afar, hoping that this duel won't disappoint me."

"Let's go, my disciple, I'll take you to see the world..."

As voices rang out one after another, countless cultivators jumped onto the rooftops and ran towards the outskirts of the city.

They were looking forward to this battle.

However, they, who were looking forward to it, would not know that in order to cultivate the invincible intent, Zhong Cang has already changed his tactics. As a result, they will witness a duel that will make them doubt their lives.
