Staying In The World Of Cultivation

Chapter 35: Swordsmanship Takes Shape

The night was dark, with flickering starlight.

A bright full moon hung high in the night sky, casting its radiance and covering the entire earth with a layer of bright veil.

Inside the cultivation room, two candles were lit.

Su Fan sat cross-legged on the small Spirit Gathering array, lighting a Nurturing Spirit incense.

The elegant and unique fragrance permeated the room, and just a whiff of it could calm the mind and focus the spirit.

Several months had passed, and with the help of the small Spirit Gathering array and the Nurturing Spirit incense, Su Fan had finally perfected his cultivation to the fourth level of Qi Refining.

These past few days, he had faintly felt a breakthrough opportunity.

Su Fan took out a Nurturing Spirit pill from his storage bag and put it in his mouth, then started to activate the Primordial Origin Technique.

The surrounding spiritual energy rushed towards him.

The refreshing breath made Su Fan feel as if every cell in his body was cheering and jumping with joy.

As the technique circulated, the pores all over his body opened.

The cool breath circulated in his meridians, gathering into a stream.

Primordial Origin Technique +1

A message popped up in front of Su Fan.

He was instantly filled with excitement.

Then, a heat surged through his body, as if he were soaking in hot water, an unparalleled sense of comfort rising from his heart.

This feeling made him feel like he had reached the Immortal Ascension realm, floating and forgetting about everything else.

Finally, he had broken through!

It wasn't until he had completed the nine cycles of cultivation that Su Fan slowly opened his eyes.

He opened the game panel, and both the level of Qi Refining and the progress of the Primordial Origin Technique had been updated.

[Level] Fifth Level of Qi Refining: 1/100

[Technique] Primordial Origin Technique (Rank One): 44/100

After more than seven months, he had finally broken through to the fifth level of Qi Refining.

Although this cultivation speed couldn't compare to the geniuses of the sects, it was already quite fast.

At least ordinary disciples of the sects would definitely be left in the dust.

To achieve all this, Su Fan had also paid a heavy price, damn it, it cost a lot of spirit stones.

Two Nurturing Spirit pills every two days, adding up to more than five hundred spirit stones.

The small Spirit Gathering array required eighteen spirit stones every day, totaling more than three thousand spirit stones.

Nevertheless, in Su Fan's opinion, these spirit stones were well worth it.

Because after breaking through to the fifth level of Qi Refining, each advancement would require more time.

When it came to the Late Stage of Qi Refining, it would be even more exaggerated, like ascending to the heavens in one step.

And with each step forward, the required cultivation resources and the consumption of spirit stones would increase exponentially.

Su Fan stood up and went outside the room.

The moonlight washed the small courtyard, exuding a sense of tranquility far away from the world.

He took out the jade slip that Ye Tianhe had given him and placed it on his forehead, then closed his eyes and began to carefully study it.

After a while, Su Fan opened his eyes.

It had to be said that Ye Tianhe was really generous.

The things recorded in this jade slip were absolutely priceless and couldn't be bought with any amount of spirit stones.

After days of continuous study and contemplation, Su Fan not only had a deeper understanding of swordsmanship, but his ability to control the Law Weapon had also greatly improved.

Originally, his way of controlling the Law Weapon was extremely monotonous and rigid.

Now, when Su Fan controlled the "Shadowless Needle" to attack, it became even more fierce.

The "Shadowless Needle" itself followed a cunning and mysterious path, emphasizing curved attacks.

By drawing on the techniques of sword cultivators controlling flying swords, not only did its power increase, but it also gained a hint of strange sharpness.

He took out a sword from his storage bag and began to practice the Nine Extreme Continuous Slashes in the courtyard.

His swordsmanship had long surpassed its previous state.

Before, he relied solely on his powerful physical body, using brute force to achieve miracles with blind and random slashes.

Now, every strike he made was smooth and natural, as if it were heaven-made, carrying an indescribable aura of might.

Su Fan had no idea how many times he had practiced in the courtyard.

With each successive proficient strike, I feel more and more confident.

After another series of nine consecutive strikes, Su Fan sheathed his sword and stood still.

He was covered in sweat, panting heavily.

It took quite a while for his stamina to recover.

His sword trembled lightly in his hand as he bent his knees and extended his arm. Suddenly, a sweeping strike was unleashed.

With this strike, it felt as if a fierce wind had swept across the ground.

"Whirlwind Slash..."

His body spun violently as the chilling sword technique roared out, creating a terrifying storm that engulfed the entire courtyard.

"Headwind Slash..."

A fierce and ruthless strike stirred up an endless gale, leaving no trace of vegetation in its wake.

"Sacrificial Slash..."

With a single strike, it felt as if he was on a battlefield, risking his life for victory. The sword was swung without regret, leaving no room for hesitation.

"Tidal Slash..."

The surrounding air seemed to transform into an unending torrent, converging into mighty rivers and erupting with a thunderous force.

"Ghost Wheel Slash..."

Carrying a killing intent that could steal souls, it resembled a ghostly aura, accompanied by the winds of purgatory.

"Void Slash..."

Like an invisible ripple, visible waves of light and ripples spread out, shattering the void with a single sword strike.

"Limitless Slash..."

The sword energy surged, tearing through the sky, capable of slaying gods and buddhas alike.

"Heartless Slash..."

One person, one sword, cutting down enemies without mercy, eliminating all foes in the world.

"Furious Slash..."

The courtyard was instantly filled with an immensely sorrowful and indignant aura as a sword strike with infinite sharpness descended with a resounding force.

With the conclusion of the final move, the courtyard returned to tranquility.

Su Fan could barely hold the sword in his hands, drenched in sweat, and his body swayed as if he could barely stand.

Not only that, his spiritual consciousness was greatly depleted.

He dropped the sword and lay down on the ground, gasping for breath.

At this moment, a large amount of information flooded his mind, all of which were insights and experiences of the Nine Extreme Continuous Slashes.

Su Fan opened the game panel, a smile appearing on his face.

Nine Extreme Continuous Slashes (Established): 1/1600

After practicing for so long, his swordsmanship had finally advanced.

The subtle realm behind the panel was unexpectedly established.

Just now, he had executed nine consecutive strikes, each carrying an astonishing momentum.

Compared to the subtle realm, the power had increased several times over.

It was as if a door had been opened, revealing an unprecedented new world.

Each strike brought him an unprecedented sense of exhilaration.

It was truly satisfying, but it consumed too much physical strength and spiritual consciousness.

He had barely managed to execute the Nine Extreme Continuous Slashes, but now it had exhausted all his physical strength.

Su Fan was well aware that he had not fully comprehended the true essence of the sword technique.

What he had grasped was only the tip of the iceberg.

After breaking through to the established realm of swordsmanship, there was still a long way to go.

If he could bring all his spells and Divine Abilities to the established realm in the future...

"That would be amazing..."

The next step was to level up the Divine Ability "Thunder Ghost Steps" and combine it with the established realm of the Nine Extreme Continuous Slashes.

In the future, as long as he could get close to his opponent, even if they were at the Qi Refining Late Stage, he would dare to confront them.

Su Fan lay on the ground for a long time, but his stamina did not recover.

His head felt heavy and he couldn't muster any energy.

He couldn't continue to push himself like this. It would be better to practice one sword strike at a time.

Struggling to get up from the ground, Su Fan staggered into the house and collapsed on the bed, falling into a deep sleep.
