Chapter 172: Ultimate True Origin (1)

Translator: Daoist6fubtiW

Shuanghu Island.

In Chen Daoxuan’s spiritual residence.

In front of the spirit pond.

Chen Daoxuan sat cross-legged on a cushion made of warm jade. He slowly closed his eyes and his consciousness sank into the space of his sea of consciousness.

In the space of his sea of consciousness.

In the center, the golden scripture was like a lofty mountain that had never changed since ancient times, suppressing the space in his sea of consciousness.

Surrounding the golden scripture were nine faint stardust.

They chased after each other and kept spinning, mysterious and beautiful.

In the deeper part of his sea of consciousness, there were balls of light.

These balls of light stored all the knowledge that Chen Daoxuan had learned in his previous life and this life.

There was the professional knowledge of machinery from his previous life, as well as the cultivation techniques, sword scriptures, refining knowledge, alchemy knowledge, talisman creation knowledge, and so on.

These light balls were of different sizes.

However, there were seven balls of light that were somewhat out of place with the other balls of light, as if they had been forcefully stuffed into the sea of consciousness.

Chen Daoxuan knew.

The knowledge stored in these seven balls of light was what the red-haired cultivator surnamed Zhang had forcefully stuffed into his sea of consciousness.

Among them, Chen Daoxuan was going to practice the next cultivation method, the Book of Qianyuan Sword.

He took a deep breath.

Chen Daoxuan sank his consciousness into the ball of light carrying the Book of Qianyuan Sword.

In the next second.

Chen Daoxuan felt as if his head had exploded.

Countless profound cultivation techniques and profundities surged toward him like a tide.

Chen Daoxuan collected his thoughts and absorbed the knowledge of the cultivation technique. He planned to wait until the ten stardusts were full before using the power of enlightenment to comprehend it carefully.

Otherwise…

It was not easy for him to fully comprehend the Book of Heaven Essence Sword.

Chen Daoxuan was clear that the higher the level of the technique, the harder it was to cultivate.

The first level of difficulty here was the comprehension of the cultivation technique.

Some Foundation Establishment cultivators, even if they obtained a top-notch cultivation technique, could not even comprehend the most basic comprehension, let alone start cultivating.

Chen Daoxuan had the help of the Primordial Enlightenment Scripture. He had never been afraid of comprehension alone.

After he finished reading the contents of the Foundation Establishment Realm cultivation method of the Heaven Essence Sword Scripture.

Chen Daoxuan’s expression became a little strange.

The ” Qian Yuan Sword Scripture ” had a much more detailed description of the path of the strongest sword cultivator than the sword art jade slip that Zhou Mubai had given him.

In this cultivation technique.

It mentioned a concept called the limit state.

The so-called extreme state was the extreme quality that a cultivator could achieve with their true qi, true essence, and magic power.

For example, when Chen Daoxuan was in the Qi Refinement Stage, he had refined his Genuine Qi with sword intent.

It was three times stronger than a Refinement Realm cultivator of the same cultivation level. This state was called the limit state by the ” Book of Heaven Essence Sword”.

To reach this limit state.

The tempering of sword intent was only one of the methods.

There were also cultivators who had talents that other cultivators could not envy, such as various spirit bodies and treasure bodies.

With this special physique, after cultivating a cultivation technique of the corresponding attribute, it would also have a tempering effect on one’s true qi, true essence, and magic power.

For example, Yang Wan’s Water Spirit Body had such a tempering effect.

However, compared to the sword essence of a Swordsman, the tempering effect was slightly inferior.

If there was a person who possessed this type of spirit body and had also comprehended sword-intent, wouldn’t that mean that he would be able to temper his own true essence, achieving a level where his true essence surpassed the magic power of Zifu Disciples?

But in reality.

He could indeed achieve double tempering, but the effect of the second tempering would be greatly reduced.

No matter how much true essence a Foundation Establishment cultivator had refined, it would never surpass the magic power of even the most ordinary Zifu Disciple.

At the very most, he would only be able to reach seventy to eighty percent of the magic power of a Zifu Disciple.

In the Qianyuan Sword Scripture, this state of true essence was described as the limit of true essence.

There weren’t many ways to reach this limit of primeval essence.

One was like the one mentioned above, having a spirit body and comprehending sword intent at the Foundation Establishment stage. Under the dual tempering, one could reach this limit.

There was another type.

Even though Chen Daoxuan didn’t have a spirit body, he had already tempered his zhenqi with sword intent once in the meditational stage.

His foundation was even stronger than other Swordsmen.

There was also a chance to reach this limit.

However, no matter how monstrous a cultivator was, no matter how many times they tempered their true essence, they could only reach this limit at most.

This was because the so-called ultimate form of true essence.Jf one took another step forward, it would transform into the magic power of a Zifu Disciple.

It was impossible for true essence to be stronger than magic power.

True essence was stronger than magic power, which meant that it had already transformed into magic power.

Seeing this, Chen Daoxuan’s previous idea that true essence would grow infinitely under the tempering of sword intent shattered like a bubble.

“How could there be such a detailed explanation for an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivation? This 10,000 contribution points was worth it!”

Chen Daoxuan grinned.

Some of the doubts he had about the cultivation of the Foundation

Establishment stage were all solved at this moment.

As Chen Daoxuan continued to read the Book of Qianyuan Sword, he stood up from time to time and paced around the courtyard excitedly.

From time to time, he gestured with his hands to verify his previous conjectures about the cultivation of the foundation establishment stage.

At this moment, he truly realized the difference between a top-notch cultivation technique and an ordinary foundation establishment cultivation technique.

“After sword cultivators comprehend sword intent, they can actually create a sword scripture that suits them!”

Chen Daoxuan’s eyes lit up when he saw the content recorded in the Book of Qianyuan Sword.

He suddenly remembered.

When he and Zhou Mubai were investigating Lotus Island, the two of them were trapped in the Ten Thousand Corpse Blood Fiend Array.

The sword technique that Zhou Mubai used at the end seemed to be something he had never seen in the exchange jade slips of the Qian Yuan Sword Sect.

Thinking of this…

Chen Daoxuan once again took out the exchange jade slip of the Qianyuan Sword Sect from his storage bag.

He looked through it carefully again and indeed did not find the Green Lotus Sword Technique that Mu Bai had used.

Thinking about it this way.

This Green Lotus Sword Technique should have been created by Zhou Mubai himself.

Zhou Mubai’s sword intent had long broken through the formless realm and reached the second stage of the corporeal realm. He had even walked quite a distance in the second stage of the corporeal realm.

He was probably about to touch the threshold of the third level sword intent.

In comparison.

When Chen Daoxuan was in Foundation Establishment, his Sword Doctrine realm had improved greatly, but he had just crossed the threshold of the corporeal realm.

Even now, there was still a huge gap between his Sword Dao and Zhou Mubai’s.

However, Chen Daoxuan was not discouraged.

After all, compared to Zhou Mubai, the age gap between the two of them was too big.

Chen Daoxuan’s talent in the Way of the Sword might not be comparable to Zhou Mubai’s, but with the help of the Primordial Enlightenment Scripture, he believed that his talent in the Way of the Sword would not be inferior to any genius in the Way of the Sword.

This was called not having enough talent, but cheating to make up for it.

“Phew!”

After reading the entire contents of the Book of Qianyuan Sword, Chen Daoxuan breathed a sigh of relief.

He could only wait for tomorrow.

After accumulating ten stardusts, he began to comprehend this cultivation method. After he had fully comprehended it, he would start to cultivate the Heaven Essence Sword Scripture.

To cultivators.

Changing cultivation techniques was a rather troublesome matter.

The lower the cultivation, the lower the price to pay for switching to a cultivation technique.

It was basically the common choice for cultivators to switch cultivation techniques at the Foundation Establishment stage.

Most Qi Condensation cultivators would cultivate some non-elemental and peaceful techniques. Although their power was average, they were neutral and peaceful. When they reached the Foundation Establishment stage, they would not be hindered from switching to other techniques.

However, if a cultivator cultivated to the Zifu or even the Golden Core realm, the price they had to pay to change cultivation techniques would be huge.

It was rumored that…

There was once a Golden Core cultivator who was tempted after obtaining a cultivation technique that was especially suitable for him.

Then, he chose to switch to another cultivation technique.

In the end, it took nearly 50 years to completely transfer the cultivation method.

One had to know.

Fifty years was a long time even for a Golden Core cultivator.

After all, the lifespan of a Golden Core cultivator was only 800 years.

And this cultivator must have spent hundreds of years cultivating to the Aurous Core stage.

In other words, he only had a few hundred years of lifespan left.

He had wasted 50 years of time in order to change his cultivation method, and his cultivation had not improved at all during this time.

Perhaps, this Golden Core cultivator would completely lose the chance to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm because of his change of cultivation technique.

Any cultivator with a clear mind would be able to measure the loss.

Of course, the price of switching from Foundation Establishment to cultivation techniques was much lower.

In particular, Chen Daoxuan’s Refinement Stage cultivation method was the Returning to Origin Technique, which was known as the most suitable cultivation method for laying the foundation in the Infinite Star Sea.

It would be easier to switch to other cultivation techniques.

Normally.

As long as Chen Daoxuan the Qianyuan Sword Scripture, he would be able to master it within a year.

At that time.

He would be able to raise his cultivation again and advance to a higher level.

Of course.

Even though he could not improve his cultivation in this year, it did not mean that his strength could not improve.

In fact, the Qian Yuan Sword Sword Scripture was a top-notch sword cultivation technique. Like other attribute cultivation techniques, it could increase the true essence of sword cultivators.

It helped the Swordsman’s Quintessential Essence reach its limit faster.

Chen Daoxuan estimated that after he had completely cultivated the ” Qian

Yuan Sword Scripture “, his Genuine Vitality would increase by 70 to 80 percent at most.

However, this 70% to 80% was not achieved overnight. Instead, it was improved step by step during the process of changing cultivation techniques.

So…

In the following year.

Although his cultivation could not increase, his strength would not stop like during this period of time when he was polishing his true essence.

In front of the spirit pond.

Chen Daoxuan once again focused his mind and slowly polished the true essence that was almost as easy as his arms and fingers.

Very quickly.

A night passed.

The sky was starting to brighten, and the first ray of light shone on his handsome face, making him look like an immortal.

Chen Daoxuan opened his eyes.

A smile appeared on his face.

Soon after.

Once again, he silently recited the Primordial Dao Enlightenment Scripture.

Thinking about it carefully, he had probably been chanting this scripture since the first time he lit up his sea of consciousness.

It had already been more than ten years.

It was also after he discovered the Primordial Dao Enlightenment Scripture’s ability to store comprehension that he truly rose to power.

It could be said that at least 80% of his achievements today were due to this golden scripture.

But today.

After Chen Daoxuan finished chanting the Primordial Enlightenment Scripture, his expression changed drastically..
