Luo Xingchen slowly stroked a treasured sword in his hand. It was a Mysterious Spirit Treasure, and the cold light from the sword swirled like a thread.
"Sword, what is it?" Luo Xingchen closed his eyes and concentrated, muttering to himself.
The sword was the number one killing weapon in the world. It had a myriad of variations, transforming the sword into wind, overlapping with each other to form a blade. It was sharp enough to pierce through metal and stone, suppressing all existence!
The mysteries of the sword were divided into billions of different types. They could be condensed multiple times, or they could be broken down into numbers. A single strand could break the mountains or rivers, or a single string could shake the sun and moon!
The myriad of sword moves were all made up of the basic thirteen characters: chop, pierce, scrape, sweep, collapse, point, cut, frame, cut, twist, lift, draw, and hang. All of the high level sword moves had evolved from this!
The Sword Truth Realm was divided into three levels of change. One with the sword, one with the heart, one with the sword!
The unity of man and sword requires the martial cultivator to be in the perfect state with his sword, to be able to kill immediately, with no flaws. The unity of heart and sword requires the control of the heart, the sword follows the heart, the sword massacres the eight wastelands!
As for the oneness of the sword of will, it required the user to reach a state of complete forgetfulness. There was no sword in the hand, and the heart had no sword. However, each blade of grass could be used as a sword!
In this world, it was extremely difficult for anyone to reach the level of One Will with the sword. If one reached this level, then one would need a weapon. A person would be a sword, and everything would be a weapon! Any weapon below Holy Instrument level can be abandoned.
In order to comprehend the sword, one must first use a sword in hand. Luo Xingchen who had never practiced a single sword move could only rely on his own comprehension and slowly fumble.
He held the sword in his hand and with every step he took, he swung the sword to spin the sword hilt. He retreated backwards and the sword's momentum changed into a silver arc of light, dancing in the air.
Carrying a sword, each step carried a killing intent, each stroke of the sword carried a will, the sword light slashed out, one after another, causing the air to shimmer, the imposing might was so strong that it was like a drum being blown, if one were to throw thousands of huge rocks in the air, it was likely that one would be chopped into pieces by the sword qi.
This was only the sword qi, after Luo Xingchen learnt the sword technique, the five stone tablets contained sword intent s, which were definitely not easy to comprehend, if it was comprehended successfully, then it would definitely shake the world, even the gods and spirits.
As soon as he started practicing sword techniques, the sword qi began to grow stronger. A strong wind started to howl as the sword qi spread out in a radius of ten feet.
After practicing swordsmanship for two days, the sword energy condensed. Space began to tremble and the sword energy slashed down two feet in a row. If there were plants around, then the grass and trees would be uprooted and disappear into nothingness.
After practicing the sword for three days, the sword energy had spread out over a meter and a half, forming a defensive space. If a vicious beast couldn't advance, then the vile soul was hard to break through!
This was a sword domain, and Luo Xingchen focused as one, continuously improving, until finally forming a fifteen meters long spatial domain.
What he did not know was that, for an ordinary person to train in the sword for three years, it would be extremely difficult for them to achieve such an achievement, but why did it become so simple for Luo Xingchen?
Actually, this was related to Luo Xingchen comprehending the sword intent first.
When ordinary people practiced the sword, they would follow the rules and regulations. They would start from the basics and form a physical entity first, then they would have a soul, then they would have another dao, and those who could comprehend the way of the sword would be one in a million!
As for the sword concept, which one of the hundred thousand Sword Cultivator would have one? Ordinary people would find it hard to comprehend even after training for more than ten years.
On the other hand, Luo Xingchen was the exact opposite. He had not even touched the sword a few times, yet the terrifying sword intent on the five stone tablets were already imprinted in his mind.
He had practiced reverse, first with the soul, then with physical form, and then with physical form! Speaking of which, this was one of the rarest things in the world.
For the next three days, Luo Xingchen concentrated on practicing his sword, he realised that the energy consumption in his body was extremely slow, as though it was because of the abundant spiritual energy here. When he trained, it was almost effortless, and there was no hunger at all, he only absorbed the essence of the sun, the moon, and the condensed spiritual energy particles.
This was truly a good place to cultivate!
Luo Xingchen completely forgot about this as a feeling silently arose in his heart.
"Sigh …" I wonder when and how long it will be before I can leave. " Gazing at this milky white barrier that cut off space, Luo Xingchen laughed bitterly and sighed softly. His heart was extremely calm, and he was not depressed in the least.
He could go in and he couldn't go out. Perhaps this was the arrangement of the heavens!
Luo Xingchen was very open-minded.
"However, training here is not a bad choice." As he muttered to himself, he suddenly thought of something. Large Circle Tower, if they were to open this place, it was unknown how they would change.
A series of questions filled Luo Xingchen's mind. He was thinking about why the Large Circle Tower had the ability to suppress demons, and just what kind of use did the corpse have?
It was tiring to keep comprehending the sword. After Luo Xingchen's realm of sword arts rose sharply consecutively for a few days, he realized that even after a while, he was still unable to perfectly integrate a bit of his mental state with his sword, and was only able to unleash 1% of the power of the first stone tablet.
As he continued to comprehend, he could not help but have a headache.
No matter what, it was better to train in himself first.
Luo Xingchen immediately made his decision. He opened up the Large Circle Tower and chanted the incantation. The divine tower flew out from the Divine Sea and immediately occupied a quarter of the space within the barrier.
Luo Xingchen stepped through a white curtain at the entrance and immediately saw a chaotic void. Countless specks of starlight floated in the air, lighting up this pitch-black space, and the stars shined with different colors. They were all big and small, with different shapes, causing the interior of the tower to look extremely mysterious.
Luo Xingchen entered the tower, and suddenly had a look of surprise, because in the tower, there was a change.
From the outside, the Large Circle Tower looked to be about forty odd floors, but from the inside, there was only one floor, and even the entrance to the second floor could not be seen. And at this time, in the pitch black space, a staircase descended from above, a total of ninety-nine flights of stairs that were as clear as the sun, and in the sky above, there was an ancient bronze colored wall, it seemed to be the top of the first floor, meaning the bottom of the second floor!
The second level had appeared!
Luo Xingchen was a little excited in his heart. He knew that this meant that his Large Circle Divine Body had already cultivated to the second layer, and its body was like King Kong.
"I can finally see what's in the second level."
Luo Xingchen grinned and laughed, obviously very happy. He immediately stepped onto the vertical Heaven Stairway, and climbed step by step!
As he climbed, his heart was filled with doubts. Where did the corpse of the Punishment Demon go? Wasn't there supposed to be a tower? Could it be that after coming to the tower, it just disappeared?
However, it was suppressed by him in one go, and until now, he did not get anything. Luo Xingchen could only smile bitterly and shake his head as he continued to climb upwards.
He felt an enormous pressure superimposing on him. Every step he took, the pressure increased. At this moment, he was standing on the 35th step as if there were 10,000 jin boulders on his back, making it difficult to breathe.
However, Luo Xingchen had already experienced this kind of pressure countless of times in the Ancient Era's Remnants, so he naturally didn't care. He only lamented a little in his heart, this Large Circle Tower, was truly worthy of being called a Divine Instrument, and as expected, it was extremely wondrous.
While he was climbing, the Qi Sea in his body began to spin by itself, quickly absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy. Because only by doing this could he achieve a balance and thus reduce the pressure.
During this entire process, his physical body constantly changed, his bones and meridians unceasingly refined, and even the Qi Sea was being filled up at a very fast speed. His cultivation after the Spiritual Energy Stage was rising at a crazy rate, and had actually reached the boundary to breakthrough!
How long had it been since he broke through to the late stage of the Spiritual Energy Stage? It was impossible to calculate how much time it would take to make another breakthrough in just ten days. This kind of cultivation speed could be said to be incredibly fast!
But Luo Xingchen did not want to break through, he was afraid that if he broke through too quickly, his foundation would become unstable, so he forcefully suppressed his own strength, and strived to slow down his absorption speed. As for himself, he braced himself, and used the power of his flesh to resist the gravity, and continued to move forward!
The gravity continued to rise from the height of the stairs, from 100,000 jin to 150,000 jin!
This kind of pressure was definitely something a late stage Spiritual Movement Stage could face, but Luo Xingchen was fighting with all his might, forgetting everything, forget how much sweat was flowing down his body, and forgot how much pressure he was shouldering.
He gradually reached the 89th step. At the top of the 1st step, there was a huge black copper piece which was getting closer and closer to him!
A moment later, he finally stepped onto the ninety-ninth floor. The pressure had already increased to a terrifying level, to the point where even the perfection of Spiritual Movement Stage would be drenched in sweat upon encountering it!
Boom!" Luo Xingchen only felt his bones crackle as his Qi Sea rumbled. In an instant, it had expanded to the size of a circle. He was at the peak of the Spiritual Qi realm! Under such extreme pressure, he still managed to break through!
He could only smile wryly, not knowing whether to be happy or worried.
At this moment, a beam of light descended from the sky and instantly enveloped his body. His eyes became blurry and he could not see anything. He could only close his eyes, afraid that he would be blinded by the light.
After a few breaths of time, the light disappeared and the space returned to its original state. He slowly opened his eyes and suddenly caught a glimpse of a brand-new level!
It was still dark here. The edge of the third floor was nowhere to be seen. There were still countless spots of light in the space. There was still so much spiritual qi. It was like the essence of the world was here and the energy would never dry up!
The only difference was that the space here actually had rows of golden words floating in the air, as well as a golden picture page.
