BXBX NOVEL Chapter 76: Chapter 72 All is Perfect
Although Yang Ji had previously coveted the Vertical Soil Golden Light, after obtaining the Sword Wings, that longing was no longer as intense.
If he went to the Dao Sect, he believed that he could obtain a great speed-related Divine Power through his own abilities.
There was no need to be obsequious at the Changqing Gate.
Some things can't be begged for.
...
The council had dispersed, and everyone had returned to their respective mountains.
Inside the secret chamber.
Yang Ji once again began his secluded cultivation.
It was indeed as the saying goes, "In the mountains unaware of the passage of years, a thousand years pass in the outside world."
Although a thousand years had not passed, seasons changed from spring to autumn, and from heat to cold.
Another twenty-five years had indeed gone by, truly showing no mercy with the passing time.
When he first arrived in this world of immortals and martial arts, Yang Ji thought he would be like the protagonists in the novels—wielding his sword with ease and relishing in friendships and enmities, reaching the pinnacle in a mere few decades.
But he was mistaken.
Cultivation is not that easy; just as one must eat one bite at a time, so too is the path to pursuing immortality arduous.
From hearing about the Void Refining to inquiring, and then proving the Dao, without thousands of years of cultivation, one should not even dream of becoming an immortal.
Yang Ji was only a minor cultivator and not yet qualified to hear about the Dao.
The days of secluded cultivation were not filled with many enemies or grievances.
Not too much would happen within a year.
What was most intertwined with time was cultivation.
He was just an ordinary person in these ordinary years, struggling toward the pursuit of immortality.
It had been twenty-five years since the last Supreme Council meeting.
It was this year, with a substantial intake of Nine-Transformation Golden Pills, that he finally reached the peak of the Golden Core stage.
[Name: Yang Ji]
[Spiritual Root: Medium]
[Lifespan: 111/500]
[Realm: Golden Core Peak[Nine-Pattern Golden Core]（1536000/1536000）]
[Cultivation Technique: Ling Water Technique (Low Grade), True Rigidity Divine Art (Dao Grade)]
[Great Divine Power: Humanoid Weaponry[Volume One] (Complete), [Volume Two (Minor)]
[Great Divine Power: Zhou Tian Nuoyi (Advanced)]
[Great Divine Power: Gui Cang Sword Technique[Dao of Li Sword (Complete Sword Soul)], [Shocking Sword Dao (Complete Sword Soul)], [Dao of Xun Sword (Complete Sword Soul)], [Dao of the Kui Sword (Complete Sword Soul)]
[Techniques: Water Tracing Sword Technique (Complete), Light Body Skill (Complete)]
He joined the Canglan Sect at the age of twenty-eight, and in the blink of an eye, eighty-three years had passed.
If it were not for the Canglan Sect, if it were not for the shadow left by the Sword Dao, he probably would still be an unknown.
The predestined encounters in the dark are truly indescribable.
The True Rigidity Divine Art in his hands could only support his cultivation to the peak of the Golden Core stage; to break through to the Nascent Soul, to condense the Dharma Image of Heaven and Earth, and to transcend the Wind Tribulation, he still needed to complete the cultivation technique at the Dao Sect.
However, he did not immediately set out, because not all his techniques were perfect yet.
Although the four styles of the Gui Cang Sword Technique had all reached a Complete Sword Soul, they had not yet achieved the highest realm of "unity of man and sword."
In that realm, the sword soul merges with the divine soul, and a mere glance is an outburst of Sword Intent.
It was truly inconceivable, killing with a stare.
Plant life, dust, air, and even people could become his swords. With a single thought, all things transform into a sword, and with his will alone, that would be an invincible Sword Domain, with endless sharpness everywhere.
A true master of the Sword Dao, one who has reached the great culmination, does not need to wield a sword to kill, a mere glance suffices.
A single thought brings utter annihilation; what a terrifying realm that is?
Yang Ji was only one step away from touching it.
Until he achieved unity with the sword, transformed his intent into a sword, and formed the Sword Domain, he would not go to the Dao Sect.
If he didn't go, that was that, but if he did, he intended to stay.
Apart from the Gui Cang Sword Technique.
Zhou Tian Nuoyi has not yet reached perfection; if it were perfected, the vigor within one's body could mobilize the power between heaven and earth. Such a body technique, which leverages the force of nature, truly moves in unpredictably swift and varied manners.
However, it has now achieved great success and is not far from perfection.
As for the Humanoid Weaponry, Yang Ji knew that it would be difficult to cultivate it to the pinnacle in a short period of time.
Nevertheless, with the protection of the sword wings, comparable to a treasured armor, ordinary attacks can hardly injure him.
Moreover, what delighted him the most was the Method of Divine Refining from the Humanoid Weaponry; his soul had become three times stronger than that of an ordinary Golden Core peak.
With this, as long as the Gui Cang Sword Technique reaches the unity of man and sword, and the sword soul merges with the divine soul, the Sword Domain that forms will be within the range of his Divine Sense dispersion, which is thrice as large as that of others at the same level—how terrifying that is.
Such a powerful Divine Sense is comparable even to that of a low-ranking Nascent Soul True Monarch like Yin Zhi.
By then, as soon as his Sword Domain is conceived, any enemy within it will suffer the frenzied strangling of Sword Qi.
...
Yang Ji no longer continued with secluded cultivation afterwards.
Because there was no further progress to be made in his cultivation.
He began to refine his techniques.
And the best way to refine his techniques was real combat.
He fought with Lun Nu, he fought with his own master Jian Yuanzi, continuously enhancing his practical experience.
He became extremely skilled in using various techniques, making the ones he had been immersed in for decades shine brilliantly and continuously improving his own skills.
In addition to this, he also fought with various Nascent Soul True Monarchs from the sect.
Future opponents and enemies are not fixed; fighting against different people and adapting to different combat methods is greatly beneficial to him.
Through these battles, Yang Ji found that if he struck with his full strength, he could instantly kill all Golden Core True Persons within the sect, and even the weaker Nascent Soul True Monarchs were no match for him.
Although his realm was insufficient, the Divine Skills and techniques he used compensated for this deficiency.
When he launched a strike, general Nascent Soul True Monarchs dared not face its edge, and the reason boiled down to the fact that the techniques they cultivated were too low-level, lacking sufficient explosive power.
Although he could fight against Nascent Soul True Monarchs, Yang Ji didn't become arrogant; if it were another genius Nascent Soul True Monarch who also cultivated Great Divine Powers, he probably wouldn't be able to withstand their single sword strike.
This is the suppression that absolute strength and absolute realm combined bring.
Apart from battling Nascent Soul True Monarchs, Yang Ji often fought against the supreme Bai Mei, seeking pressure.
Under such extreme pressure, he fought with even more focus and seriousness.
For over a decade, he has been seeking battles, and everyone knew that it wouldn't be long before the second genius of their sect would go to Dao Sect.
Therefore, the Nascent Soul True Monarchs were very excited and eager, constantly fighting against him in various ways.
Some set up Formations, others used rune arrays, joined forces, ambushed, or challenged with harsh words, using all sorts of methods to help him improve his mindset and combat capability.
Yang Ji didn't disappoint everyone; his strength increased day by day, and his battle skills were impressively high, capable of handling various modes of attack with ease.
Most importantly, all of this was achieved without relying on the assistance of the Golden Finger.
For ten years, every day, he was in battle.
It was on this day that an invincible Sword Intent spread out from him as the center. Within Canglan Sect, all Flying Swords touched by this Sword Intent rang out and flew into the sky, moving towards him, creating the miraculous sight of thousands of swords returning to their master.
Yang Ji knew that the Sword Domain had been formed.
Bai Mei, looking from a distance, also understood what this meant.
"Disciple… is about to leave," Jian Yuanzi stood on Sword Peak, looking at the figure standing in the air surrounded by thousands of swords, with a look of relief and reluctance on his face.
The group of Nascent Soul True Monarchs also watched this scene happily.
[Great Divine Power Technique: Humanoid Weaponry [Volume One] (Perfected), [Volume Two (Great Success)]]
[Great Divine Power Technique: Zhou Tian Nuoyi (Perfected)]
Yang Ji looked at his attributes, the Sword Domain was formed, Zhou Tian Nuoyi had reached perfection, and the second volume of Humanoid Weaponry had achieved great success, his body comparable to a top-grade Spiritual Artifact.
Everything had reached a level that satisfied him.
Yang Ji looked into the distance, towards the direction of Dao Sect.
His cultivation began on Nanfeng Island, grew in Canglan Sect, and Dao Sect would be where he truly rose to prominence.
However, before heading there, he planned to go to the Demon Companion Herb Sea Area first to get some Demon Companion Herb from Mang Biao.
Additionally, a hundred years had passed, and the inheritance left by the senior Fu Dongliu under the seabed waterfall would also open.
He was curious about what sort of geniuses would come for the inheritance?
