Immortality Starts With Ignorant Heart Sword Art

Chapter 27: The Terrifying Inheritance of True Intent and the Cultivator Family

Without the need for sparring, Zhong Cang also obtained spirit stones, which made him lose interest in staying in the training ground for too long.

"Ding!"

Zhong Cang lightly flicked his finger on the long sword, causing it to emit a soft hum.

Amidst the ringing sound, Zhong Cang used the Maple Flower to manipulate the natural wind, causing it to surround him and apply the Wind System Light Body Technique to himself.

Then, stepping on the wind, Zhong Cang moved like a falling leaf, quickly returning home.

This technique of lightly flicking the long sword and activating the characteristics of the sword was a small trick that Zhong Cang realized while practicing the Twelve Melodies of Jade Heaven Tower.

At the same time, he also discovered that he could use the long sword to gain an additional attribute.

"If that's the case, can I wear seven long swords and have seven different attributes?"

After careful consideration, Zhong Cang felt that this idea was feasible.

For Zhong Cang, who possessed the characteristic of merging human and sword, the sword was equivalent to his external magical organ.

As long as he harmonized with it for a period of time, he could make the long sword move as freely as his own limbs.

However, this idea was only feasible in theory.

- He didn't have enough spirit stones to purchase swords with different attributes.

More importantly, the spiritual energy in this world did not react, so having seven different attributes would only look fancy.

It was far better to focus on mastering one attribute rather than practicing seven different ones.

"Unless I obtain a sword formation, it's better not to mess around."

...

Back in his small courtyard, Zhong Cang rested first. Once his condition recovered, he immediately began his tedious and painful cultivation.

Qi Consumption Technique, Five Beasts Infusion Technique, Ignorant Heart Sword Art, Twelve Melodies of Jade Heaven Tower.

One by one, Zhong Cang practiced these techniques in a cycle.

Because with each refinement on the attribute panel, Zhong Cang could visibly see and feel his progress, which gave him great motivation in his cultivation.

The tremendous motivation even led him to practice day and night without distinguishing between day and night.

While he was diligently cultivating, on the other side, Yan Lingdie followed her mother into the family's secret realm.

In this secret realm, there were clusters of red crystals growing everywhere, as well as various types of fire elemental spiritual values.

The combined effect of magma, fire crystals, and spiritual values made the fire and spiritual energy in this place extremely rich, presenting a boiling state.

In such a rich fire environment, even ordinary people couldn't stay for more than a few minutes, let alone ordinary cultivators.

But for Yan Lingdie, who possessed the Flame Spirit Body and cultivated the Heavenly Fire Flame Spirit Scripture, this kind of environment was a paradise.

Every breath she took was equivalent to Zhong Cang practicing the Qi Consumption Technique once.

In other words, a person could only refine a limited amount of spiritual energy in a day. In addition, the Flame Family did not require Yan Lingdie, who was still young (thirteen or fourteen years old), to pursue realms, but rather to lay a solid foundation. Her cultivation was currently at the third level of Qi Refining.

Walking through the secret realm as if returning home, Yan Lingdie followed her mother deeper into it and asked, "Mother, if I master this secret technique, can I really defeat Zhong Cang?"

Feeling her daughter's lack of confidence in her words, the elegantly dressed woman smiled.

"You can. This secret technique is the core of the Heavenly Fire Flame Spirit Scripture. After mastering it, not only can you defeat the current Zhong Cang, but you can also surpass him even if he reaches the fourth level of Qi Refining."

"Really?"

"Of course, I have never lied to you, my daughter."

Recalling that her mother had indeed never lied to her, Yan Lingdie's eyes once again revealed a confident light.

In her heart, she began to imagine the wonderful scene after defeating Zhong Cang.

However, after a moment of joy, she thought of something and expressed some concerns, "This secret technique is so powerful, won't it be difficult to practice? Can I master it in a short period of time?"

"And, practicing this technique won't delay my cultivation in the Dao, right?"

The Dao was cultivation. Improving one's cultivation could elevate a cultivator's realm, increase their lifespan and magical power. Therefore, the Dao was the foundation of cultivators.

Techniques, on the other hand, were protective arts. Although it was true that one couldn't walk in the cultivation world without techniques to protect oneself, no matter where they were, the Dao was always more important.

Wasting a lot of time on cultivation is sacrificing the essential for the trivial.

However, her worries made the young woman in palace attire laugh, and she gently tapped Yan Lingdie's forehead.

"Huang Yantianling, this secret technique is very powerful and difficult to cultivate. If you try to comprehend and practice it alone, it will indeed be difficult. It will take three to five years for you to succeed at the beginner level... and that's just the beginning."

"But, the questions you can think of, your father and I can naturally think of as well. Don't worry, we will help you solve the cultivation problem... You are the direct heir of the family and can use the true inheritance. Your father has found a piece of enlightenment tea for you, and I have found a piece of Bodhi sinking jade for you."

Taking out a jade stone that gives a sense of tranquility, the young woman in palace attire hung it around Yan Lingdie's neck, which was as white as jade, and gently said,

"Wearing the Bodhi sinking jade and drinking the enlightenment tea, with this, you can accept the true inheritance. It will only take ten to fifteen days for you to succeed in cultivation."

"So short, thank you, mother, and father."

This expression of gratitude made the young woman in palace attire discontented and she lightly tapped Yan Lingdie.

"Silly child, why are you thanking me?"

"Hehe..."

In the warm atmosphere, the two arrived at the deepest part of the secret realm. There, a wall made of jade was engraved with a figure.

At the core of the figure was the towering shadow of a majestic celestial being.

Although the shadow was engraved, it seemed alive. The moment Yan Lingdie saw the majestic figure, she was deeply shocked.

...

Zhong Cang did not know what happened in the Flame Family's secret realm.

However, relying on the spiritual stones given by Yan Lingdie, Zhong Cang deduced that her seclusion would not be too long, at least not more than a month.

According to Zhong Cang's thoughts, a seclusion of just over ten days would not yield much progress unless her cultivation broke through.

However, the expression of certainty on Water Lord's face, who was convinced that Zhong Cang would be defeated, and his fear of the direct heirs of the cultivation family made Zhong Cang feel that things were not so simple.

"By the way, what the guardian did can be considered as leaking information... No, not leaking, but rather being fearless."

"He probably thinks that even if I know everything and try my best, I will be as helpless as a mantis trying to stop a car."

"..."

Thinking of this, Zhong Cang felt a sense of urgency.

He didn't want to lose.

Feeling the pressure, Zhong Cang practiced cultivation even more desperately.

At the same time, in order to increase his own combat power, in addition to practicing the four techniques, Zhong Cang also developed the Wind Sword Technique based on some concepts from his previous life.

—Sword Heart played a miraculous role in this aspect.

Normal development of swordsmanship takes a long time.

But with Sword Heart, Zhong Cang's sensitivity and comprehension of swordsmanship greatly increased, allowing him to truly develop something.

For example, Hasake...

...

Time passed quickly in Zhong Cang's cultivation.

Soon, eleven days had passed.

And on the twelfth day, a paper crane flew to Zhong Cang's courtyard, bringing him a message.

"I have come out of seclusion, come quickly, today, I will definitely defeat you!"

The paper crane could perfectly convey the owner's voice, and from that voice, Zhong Cang heard Yan Lingdie's soaring confidence.

And Yan Lingdie had fought against Zhong Cang before and experienced his strength.

Knowing all this, but still so confident, it was evident that she had gained a lot from this seclusion.

After realizing this, Zhong Cang was not afraid, but instead smiled.

"The heritage of a cultivation family, huh?"

"Let me see just how strong the direct heir of a family that even Water Lord fears really is!"
