Chapter 31 Canglan Peak 3
After undergoing this training, he had gained some experience and improved his original strength. He successfully broke through to the Golden Core stage in three months.
The moment she broke through, dark clouds gathered, with streaks of thunderclouds resembling intertwined dragons, from which fragments of lightning flashed.
The next second, a bolt of lightning as thick as a baby's arm struck down from the sky, passing through her little house and hitting the tiny person inside. Cheng Jiu grimaced, especially since she had a wood elemental root and was conductive.
She silently activated the Myriad Trees and Thousand Springs Technique, its powerful healing ability rapidly repairing the meridians injured by the lightning tribulation.
Protecting its master, the Spiritual Body automatically activated the Immortal Nourishing Technique and the Myriad Trees and Thousand Springs Technique, so Cheng Jiu didn't need to bother with their operation. One lightning tribulation after another fell.
With her golden aptitude, the minimum required tribulation is seven lightning strikes, but she endured a total of nine. It's important to understand that the power of lightning tribulations increases with each strike.
At first, Cheng Jiu was a little flustered, but then she just lay down. It's safe to say that the Spirit Essence Immortal Body, one of the Ten Great Immortal Bodies, is truly amazing.
Her body cultivation technique was almost smoking from running, and the speed at which the lightning tribulation damaged her was nowhere near the speed at which her spiritual body could repair itself by running her body cultivation technique.
She felt her body constantly being refreshed, which gave her a perverse sense of pleasure that was both painful and comfortable.
Finally, she even said to the lightning tribulation, "Come on, strike me a few more times!"
But Lei Jie, that little vixen, had no interest in this crazy woman and gracefully departed.
The sky cleared, and one after another, lotus-shaped phenomena appeared in the bright sky; one could even smell the fragrance of lotuses.
In the distance, a blazing golden phoenix and a large blue fish also appeared.
However, Qingyang Venerable was in a bind. Both of his disciples were fools who insisted on breaking through together. When the two of them broke through together, the power of the lightning tribulation would be doubled.
Moreover, both of them were prodigies, both at the ninth level of cultivation. Fortunately, both of them had cultivated body-cultivation techniques, so they were somewhat embarrassed by the attack.
Qingyang Venerable carefully examined the two bodies and, seeing that they were unharmed, decisively put them down.
Boys are tough and resilient; as long as they're not dead, that's fine.
Cheng Jiu, who had survived the tribulation, was on the verge of tears. She had only intended to consolidate her training over the past few days and had no intention of breaking through to the Golden Core stage.
As a result, she originally vowed to break through to the Golden Core stage at 16 and the Nascent Soul stage at 18, but she broke through to the Golden Core stage halfway ahead of time, at the age of seven. Her strength grew too fast, catching her off guard.
No, no, she must suppress her strength from now on and never go into seclusion again before she turns 18. After all, if she tries to break through again, she will be stuck in the Nascent Soul stage.
Every step after the Nascent Soul stage is extremely difficult. If she is fixed in her form in childhood, it means she has to live with that appearance for at least hundreds or thousands of years.
Just thinking about her is like a nightmare. She thinks she's cute now, but tall, slim-waisted beauties with big breasts are her true love!
However, once you reach the Golden Core stage, you can learn to fly on a sword. Flying on a sword is the dream of so many people! Cheng Jiu has ridden spirit beasts and his master's flying sword, but he still regrets not being able to fly on his own.
Now she had finally crossed the threshold of flying on a sword! Excitement and nervousness surged in her heart, and for a moment, the negative emotions of regret also dissipated.
She took out her flying sword, stepped on it, and began to continuously perform hand seals. Spiritual energy slowly entered the sword through the seals, and the sword slowly rose up.
She started casting the incantation to advance again; the sword flew out, but she fell down. Luckily, she didn't rise very high, and only landed on her bottom.
The sword, like a wild beast unleashed, flew straight forward.
She made a hand seal, trying to summon the sword back, but the sword swayed wildly in the air.
She kept trying to control herself from below, and suddenly felt a connection.
The sword finally flew back, but it was completely out of control. If she hadn't dodged quickly, it would have cut off more than just a lock of her hair.
You have to understand how much she cherishes those two strands of hair by her ears, because no matter what hairstyle she wears, having those two strands of hair gives her an ethereal and beautiful look.
A surge of anger rose within her. She thought that although she hadn't passed her driving test in her previous life, surely she could learn to fly on a sword in this life.
On the other side, Qingxu Venerable, who sensed his disciple's emergence from seclusion, fell silent upon seeing his disciple fighting with his sword.
In fact, he had noticed something a long time ago: it wasn't that these junior disciples didn't understand the cultivation world, but they were really lacking in some basic common sense.
For example, shouldn't everyone know from birth that the process of drawing qi into the body should be natural?
However, his little apprentice was unaware of this, as was the Foundation Establishment cultivator, who unnecessarily chose to compress spiritual energy.
This is common knowledge that almost everyone knows, so it doesn't even need to be taught, but his little apprentice was completely unaware of it. Yet, the other party was indeed from the Xuan Tian Continent.
He suddenly thought of two words: "innate wisdom." The memories of his first life must occupy a very important place in his little apprentice's memories, which is why the common sense of that life could influence his little apprentice.
With this understanding, some of his apprentice's strange behaviors could be explained.
For example, when it comes to her parents, her apprentice is completely biased towards her mother, but she doesn't have that much affection for her mother.
Her behavior is quite normal for someone who has grown up and experienced hardship.
It's normal for someone who has suffered torment or even cruelty from their family since childhood to have seen through it all.
But her little apprentice had never experienced the hardships of family life. On the very day her father married her stepmother, her little apprentice was able to decisively drug her and leave the Luo family.
To ride in a passing caravan and arrive safely in Chengdu is a stroke of luck, and one must encounter only kind people.
However, the young apprentice's own rationality and quick wit should not be ignored.
This is definitely not something a six-year-old girl could do. Even though people in the cultivation world are generally precocious, they would usually stay at home in this situation. They don't have the concept of decisively withdrawing when faced with a bad situation.
Regardless of whether his little disciple has awakened his innate wisdom or not, he is still his disciple, Qingxu's only disciple! This is the only thing that can be confirmed.
On the other side, Cheng Jiu, who had already put down her sword and was fighting, immediately saw her master watching her with a mysterious smile on his lips.
Her face was slightly red. Could it be that her master had seen her fighting with the sword? How long had her master been there? Was he laughing at her?
The more she thought about it, the more at a loss she became. Qingxu Venerable Lord, however, didn't make Cheng Jiu too embarrassed: "You haven't nurtured it through a contract, and your strength isn't high, so naturally you'll have difficulty controlling this sword."
"Master, didn't you say that a person can only contract one natal sword in their lifetime?" Cheng Jiu asked curiously.
"Fool, what I meant was that you can only have one natal sword. This sword is your practice sword. You can form a normal contract. Do you know how a normal contract works?"
After Qingxu Venerable Lord guessed her origins, he became more detailed in his teachings, fearing that his little disciple might go astray and then come to him crying.
"Press a blood ointment?" Cheng Jiu wasn't too sure about this either, since other magical artifacts only required wearing them and didn't involve any contracts.
"No." Venerable Qingxu was not surprised at all: "You need to meditate, nurture the spiritual weapon on the spiritual sword, and then mark it with your mark. It doesn't need to take too long, just mark it."
"A natal contract is also a process of nurturing and communicating with the sword spirit. The two of you form a mutual contract. You mark your mark, and the sword spirit marks the other's mark. When the two become one, witnessed by the Heavenly Dao, it is a natal contract." Venerable Qingxu explained the difference between the two.
"How come this is similar to forming a Daoist partnership?" Forming a Daoist partnership also involves both parties forming a contract, witnessed by the Heavenly Dao.
When her scumbag father married Zhao Meier, she was busy escaping, but she still overheard a bit of it.
"Otherwise, how can we say that the sword is the sword cultivator's wife? Alright, hurry up and start attacking." Venerable Qingxu teased.
"So, did I take some nrt before I got my future wife? Master, do you think that when I go looking for my destined sword in the future, those swords will reject me?"
At this moment, Cheng Jiu was somewhat worried about his future wife, since her master was about to take her to the Dragon Abyss Sect to choose her natal sword. This had been mentioned long ago.
"..." Lord Qingxu fell silent for the first time. He didn't understand, but he roughly understood the meaning from the context. His sword didn't reject him. Did he have any other swords when he had his own Qingxu sword?
Perhaps because his thoughts were in turmoil, his Qingxu Sword actually emitted a sense of grievance.
He secretly transmitted his voice: "Don't worry, you're the only one for me right now."
Qingxu Sword seemed to have been calmed down, and his whole body was filled with joy.
"The sword spirit should care, but as for other effects, I'm not sure," Venerable Qingxu gave an affirmative answer.
"Never mind then, let's talk about it after I get married." Cheng Jiu decided not to hurt his future wife's feelings. After all, she would be spending her life with it.
The Qingxu Sword was very satisfied with her. It usually hung quietly on Qingxu Venerable Lord's waist, very peacefully, but today Cheng Jiu could actually feel the joy of the Qingxu Sword.
For Cheng Jiu, this was truly unbelievable, given Qingxu Sword's notoriously aloof nature. She had been a disciple for almost a year and a half before finally receiving a kind word from him.
"Both of your senior brothers have emerged from seclusion, and coincidentally, your Uncle Qingyang is also choosing weapons for them. The Dragon Abyss Sect has the most weapons, and the quality is also the best."
Thinking of this, Venerable Qingxu felt that Qingyang had really gone all out. He originally thought that the other party would come to him to forge the natal weapons for his two disciples.
Unexpectedly, she was willing to go with him to the Dragon Abyss Sect to find weapons for her disciple.
Although the three of them had reached the Golden Core stage and were able to fly on swords, they still had to be led to the Dragon Abyss Sect by their two masters.
The Dragon Abyss Sect is characterized by its vast and domineering atmosphere. Sword cultivators carrying swords come and go, constantly shuttling between the mission hall and the outside of the sect.
Their clothes were simple, but the swords they carried were very eye-catching.
The arrival of the five people immediately attracted the attention of the patrol team, and they were only allowed to pass after being questioned.
The feeling upon entering the Dragon Abyss Sect was incredibly strong. Everywhere you looked, there were disciples practicing swordsmanship, and the martial spirit was extremely intense.
In comparison, the sword peak of Guiyuan Sect is less than 1/10 of its size. Have you ever seen 10 people wielding swords at the same time? You can see it here.
Moreover, there are numerous competition venues; you could practically find a competition platform every few kilometers, and every single one would be occupied. Under such circumstances, anyone who could stand out from the Dragon Abyss Sect was undoubtedly a genius among geniuses.
Besides these, along the way you can also see sword waterfalls, sword-enlightenment cliffs, sword-questioning steles... scenery very characteristic of the Longyuan Sect. Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the pagoda in the very center, called the Sky Dome Pagoda.
It is also the most prized treasure of the Longyuan Sect.
No one knows how many levels there are; countless heroes have entered from there throughout history, but no one has ever managed to escape.
However, this is an excellent training ground, and it will even test your understanding and skill in swordsmanship.
This is a rare opportunity for sword cultivators. After all, comprehending the sword is a mysterious yet practical process that requires one to understand it through practice. However, if one gets stuck on a pedant, then one simply won't understand.
