Celestial Deformed Divine Skill (11th Realm Earth-Shattering 96%)

The Celestial Deformed Divine Skill was approaching the edge of breakthrough.

His spirit, due to cultivating the Celestial Deformed Divine Skill, had greatly improved.

Su Que had also tried to activate the Demon Seed, releasing it from between his eyebrows.

Due to the enhanced spiritual power, his Demon Seed could now emerge thirty percent from his brow.

He thought that once the Celestial Deformed Divine Skill broke through to the next realm, the side effects would be stronger.

After cultivation, his spirit would strengthen accordingly.

By then, he could completely release the Demon Seed from his body, thus accomplishing the "Tribulation Seed Realm Second Stage: Soul Emergence."

While cultivating, he suddenly opened his eyes.

He felt that Su Jing had returned.

Immediately, he pushed the door open and walked to the front hall, where he saw Su Jing.

On the martial path, Su Jing had undergone significant changes in essence, qi, and spirit.

Even at night, her eyes seemed to faintly glow with a divine light, exceedingly clear.

Moreover, perhaps due to cultivating the "Jade Maiden Heart Scripture," Su Jing’s skin became increasingly smooth, with a healthy glow and rosiness beneath the snowy white.

Su Que noticed bloodstains on Su Jing’s clothes.

His keen sense of smell caught the scent of blood from Su Jing’s body before he even reached her.

However, he found no wounds on Su Jing’s body.

The blood on the clothes was clearly not Su Jing’s.

"What happened?" Su Que asked.

Su Jing looked at Su Que and then glanced down at the longsword in her hand:

"Sister Yujing and I, while exploring outside, discovered a large tomb."

"So, Sister Yujing and I went in to investigate."

"But we encountered a group of tomb robbers."

"Unexpectedly, the leader of the tomb robbers possessed martial arts skills even higher than Li Yujing’s, and we engaged in quite a fierce battle with him."

"Somehow, as we were about to be defeated, the sword in my hand suddenly erupted with power, releasing waves of sword qi that killed all the tomb robbers."

Su Jing said, examining the longsword in her hand closely:

"This longsword was collected by Sister Yujing through her connections in the trade associations and then gifted to me."

"She told me that this longsword is an exotic weapon, forged from exotic metals."

"At the time, she didn’t know why this longsword had such power."

"Later, she speculated that the sword might contain the divine intent of a martial arts master."

Su Jing paused and glanced at Su Que because she knew, not being a martial artist, Su Que wouldn’t know what divine intent was.

She continued: "Actually, many martial artists in the world don’t know what divine intent is, as throughout history, the vast majority of martial artists have never reached the realm of utilizing divine intent."

"Even Sister Yujing hasn’t seen a martial artist use divine intent. She only learned of the existence of martial artists who can utilize divine intent from brief mentions in ancient texts."

"Sister Yujing said that such martial artists, if they use a weapon for a long time, their divine intent might unconsciously remain in the weapon."

"As long as future wielders align their minds, they might be able to draw out the divine intent to defeat enemies."

At this point, Su Jing suddenly extended her hand, offering the longsword to Su Que:

"Xiao Que, these times are tumultuous, and you have no martial skills. Keep this sword with you."

"When you go out, wrap the sword in cloth, disguising it as a musical instrument or similar object."

"If you encounter danger, perhaps this sword will save you."

’The divine intent in this sword is what I infused, and you’re giving it back to me...’

Su Que thought to himself and said: "You go out more often and face more dangers. You should keep the sword."

"Besides, I haven’t encountered danger during my outings thus far."

Despite Su Que’s words, the previously gentle and seemingly weak Su Jing was unusually firm, insisting that Su Que take the sword.

Su Que, rarely seeing Su Jing so resolute, accepted the sword.

He thought, actually, Su Jing appeared gentle and weak but had a strong inner character.

Otherwise, after the original parents of this body’s owner passed and he was bedridden, Su Jing wouldn’t have managed to earn money for his medicine and their living expenses all by herself.

It was just that, after he transmigrated, his body gradually healed, allowing him to move around.

He took a position as a teacher at a school, and as life improved, Su Jing set aside her firmness.

So, when he transmigrated, he faced a superficially gentle Su Jing, not realizing her inner strength.

’Since Su Jing gave me this sword, Sister Yujing will surely find another exotic weapon for Su Jing.’

’By then, I’ll infuse the divine intent into it again.’

Su Que thought to himself, taking the longsword to a well, washing off the bloodstains, and bringing it back to his room.

The next day, Su Jing went out for a while and indeed returned with another longsword.

With his current strong spiritual power, even through the sword scabbard, Su Que could feel the vibrations from the sword, knowing this longsword was another exotic weapon.

Late at night, Su Que released his spirit, sensing that Su Jing was asleep, and silently approached her door, employing a poison technique he saw in the Imperial Palace Armory.

His Myriad Poison True Qi had now reached the 11th Realm Earth-Shattering.

Moreover, his martial arts cultivation was far superior to Su Jing’s.

Even releasing a small amount of Myriad Poison True Qi, he could kill a martial artist in the Qi Blood Realm.

He could no longer rely on Myriad Poison True Qi as before to temporarily render Su Jing unconscious.

So, he used another less potent poison technique, releasing poison gas to temporarily incapacitate Su Jing.

He pushed the door open, first withdrawing the poison gas from Su Jing’s meridians.

Then he walked to the table and picked up Su Jing’s sword.

Immediately, he activated his Lifebound Demon Seed, infusing divine intent into it.

After advancing to the Tribulation Seed Realm, all the divine intent in his viscera and organs gathered in the Lifebound Demon Seed.

’My spiritual power has greatly increased recently; my divine intent is stronger than before.’

’The divine intent in this sword will be more powerful than in the previous sword.’

’Even releasing a small wisp of divine intent might kill a martial artist at the Gang Condensing Realm.’

As Su Que’s thoughts raced, without realizing it, he infused the sword with the maximum amount of divine intent it could handle.

’If this sword’s metal were of better quality, I could infuse more divine intent.’

’If I continue to infuse divine intent, this sword might disintegrate.’

After placing the longsword back in its original position, Su Que left the room and closed the door.

That night, Su Que did not sleep and continued to cultivate while sitting cross-legged on the bed.

’I’m about to break through!’

While cultivating, Su Que glanced at his attributes.

Celestial Deformed Foot (11th Realm Earth-Shattering 99%)

The Celestial Deformed True Qi in his body roared through his meridians like a hurricane.

He vaguely felt a new power quietly brewing within his body.

A cool sensation spread from between his brows, producing a firm sense as if the side effects of cultivation had reversed, strengthening his spirit.

Before long, he felt his Celestial Deformed True Qi suddenly surge, becoming more abundant than before.

After this breakthrough, he felt his spirit rise to a new level.

He then attempted to use his spirit to move the Lifebound Demon Seed from his dantian, along the Ren Meridian, toward his brow.

Just as the Lifebound Demon Seed was about to break through his brow, he sensed a force within his body pulling on the Demon Seed, preventing it from leaving his brow.

This was the physical body’s limit on the spirit, and also its protection.

He continued to use his spirit.

The Demon Seed moved inch by inch from his brow.

Purple light gradually emanated from his brow.

After several breaths, suddenly, the purple light burst forth from his brow.

The Lifebound Demon Seed shot out from his brow.

His vision immediately shifted upward, and he saw his own body.

He vaguely saw a faint purple line connecting the Lifebound Demon Seed and his body.

This seemed to be the connection between the physical body and spirit.

Moreover, he discovered something amazing: even though he was in soul emergence, he could still feel his body’s sensations.

It was as though he hadn’t undergone soul emergence.

’The connection between body and spirit is far tighter than I imagined!’

With a thought, his body, as seen in his vision, rose from its cross-legged position on the bed, standing up.
