Chapter 1070: Chapter 453: Swordsmanship Breakthrough—First Major Completion (2)

Each stroke was simple and unadorned, yet every swing of the sword could cause the surrounding airflow to rotate and surge with it.

The power slightly exceeded his initial imagination.

Though it was far from the grand scene when he achieved Minor Achievement in Swordsmanship.

But relying solely on the slight blessing of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, and the Sword Dao ambience, the power of his casual strike at this moment could easily severely injure or even kill an ordinary Mid-Stage Nascent Soul Cultivator.

If it were an Early-Stage Nascent Soul, even just the aftermath of the Sword Qi would be unbearable.

"No wonder the gap between Divinity Transformation Cultivators and Nascent Soul Cultivators is like a chasm."

Xu Ping couldn’t help but feel a tinge of surprise, "Merely the ability to initially invoke Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi to bless oneself forms an absolute crushing force."

Considering also the more refined and vast mana of Divinity Transformation Cultivators, and other... it would indeed be as difficult as climbing the heavens for a Nascent Soul Cultivator to challenge a Divinity Transformation one.

He gained a clearer understanding and gratitude for having such combat power comparable to a Divinity Transformation.

This was completely a special case under the superposition of various heaven-defying opportunities, nearly impossible to replicate.

In order to more comprehensively test and familiarize himself with the effect of this Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi blessing, Xu Ping calmed his mind and continued to practice his sword. He

attempted to integrate different natures and quantities of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi into various sword moves, feeling their subtle impact on sword speed, sword force, Sword Qi cohesion, and even the penetrating power of Sword Intent.

This process was like a craftsman sculpting a peerless treasure, requiring extreme patience and control.

...

However, just as Xu Ping roughly grasped the specific enhancement amplitude of the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi blessing on sword move power, he unexpectedly discovered another great surprise.

When he fully invoked the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, with his mind and Sword Intent highly unified, attempting to perfectly integrate every trace of Primordial Qi into his sword moves, he felt his connection with the surrounding heaven and earth becoming unprecedentedly intense.

The Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi being invoked seemed to become a bridge for him to communicate with deeper layer cosmic rules.

Through them, Xu Ping could more clearly, visually "touch" some basic veins of laws that constitute this piece of heaven and earth.

This feeling was like watching the world through a pane of frosted glass, and at this moment, the glass was more than half wiped clear, presenting the essence of the world more clearly before his eyes.

"It actually has such an ability?"

Xu Ping abruptly stopped his sword move, his eyes bursting with uncontrollable joyous light.

What does this mean?

It means that with the blessing of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi in cultivating Sword Dao, his understanding of Sword Intent and cohesion of Sword Force will be greatly accelerated.

Originally, it might have taken several years or even longer to break through. In this state of "closeness" with the laws, perhaps the time could be reduced by several times.

"In that case, won’t the timing for my Sword Intent to form force and break through to One Turn Great Achievement be greatly expedited!"

"The benefits brought by this Dao Rhythm Baptism are truly immense." Xu Ping couldn’t help but sigh once more.

This is not just an enhancement of strength, but an excavation of potential and an expansion of the Dao path.

"The Dual Saints, they are truly good people!"

A thought oddly floated in Xu Ping’s mind, tinged with a hint of playfulness.

If not for their meticulous planning to scheme for fortune, how could he have obtained such massive opportunities in succession?

The last capture of fortune made his foundation and Divine Sense more robust, significantly accelerating his cultivation speed.

And this time’s Dao Rhythm Baptism further advanced it.

If possible, he truly wanted to "thank" the Star Palace Saints’ "selfless dedication" in person.

"Continue practicing sword!"

Soon, Xu Ping cast aside these distractions, his eyes becoming sharp and focused once again.

With the Sword Dao enlightenment bonus brought by the blessing of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, he was even more motivated.

...

Time flew by, but within Blood Bone Island, years remained peaceful. Xu Ping, focused on the Sword Dao, felt that time passed swiftly.

In the blink of an eye, another fourteen years went by.

On this day, deep within the underground cave mansion.

Xu Ping was still practicing sword.

Compared to fourteen years ago, his movements were more primitive and natural, seemingly aligning with some heavenly Dao rhythms.

Every swing of the Canghua Divine Wood Sword in his hand no longer had deliberate ostentation, yet it naturally guided the Spiritual Qi within the quiet chamber, and even in a larger range outside the quiet chamber.

This Spiritual Qi was not forcibly absorbed by him, but rather gathered spontaneously like subjects paying homage to a monarch, within the range of his Sword Force, making it appear as if he was shrouded in a faint blue halo composed of Spiritual Qi.

Although he still did not use mana, the force that resonated with heaven and earth, yet withheld from unleashing, grew stronger, filling the entire cave mansion with a suffocating oppressive feeling. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Xu Ping was completely immersed in this mysterious state of blending with heaven and earth, harnessing Primordial Qi with his mind, articulating the rules with Sword Intent.

In his Sea of Consciousness, the thousand refined sword gang shadows were crazily colliding, merging, and evolving...

Quantity finally led to a qualitative change!

"Boom!"

At a certain moment, as if the universe initially opened, a silent explosion reverberated in the depths of Xu Ping’s soul, and roared on the realm of Dao Principle within the entire cave mansion.

In an instant, centered around Xu Ping, countless refined, substantive azure-gold sword lights emerged out of thin air.

In such vast quantities, far exceeding before, it seemed to turn the entire void into a sea of swords.

These sword lights were no longer isolated existences, but their mutual auras interlinked and runes interwoven, instantly converging into a grander, more solid river of sword light that seemed to be composed of liquid Sword Intent.

And this was just the beginning!

"Condense!"

Xu Ping’s eyes flickered.

The vast river of sword light, galloping and surging, as if subjected to an ultimate compression by an invisible giant hand, suddenly collapsed and merged inward crazily!
