The Great Martial Saint!

Chapter 980 Sword Technique Perfected, Great Cultivation Realm

"After several months of practice, perfection is imminent!"

In the clear pond courtyard, beneath the ancient pine trees, Chen Ping'an's eyes were calm, yet his gaze was bright.

Since I began learning the Guanghan Sword Technique, more than two years have passed. Today, I will finally master it and grasp the essence of the three sword techniques.

hum~

Chen Ping'an's eyes narrowed, like a golden sun suddenly splitting open, bursting forth with lightning-fast light.

"breakthrough!"

The information on the front panel surged and swirled wildly, turning into specks of starlight that rushed toward Chen Ping'an's brow.

At the instant the starlight entered his body, a sense of enlightenment welled up in Chen Ping'an's heart.

Like a long-forgotten memory being revived, or like the sun breaking through the clouds, bringing a sense of sudden enlightenment.

"Smoke and rain, floating dust, and a chilling glint."

"."

At the same time, on Chen Ping'an's spiritual platform, the phantom-like spiritual bridge was now surging with a different aura. The fading light intertwined with the source of his divine soul, layering upon layer, threatening to transform into a vortex.

The Hidden Radiance takes three steps, the Pivot Light fades, the Spirit Bridge becomes empty, and the Whirlpool forms.

Chen Ping'an is now at the crucial final step.

The starlight on the panel flowed continuously, and the buffs brought by the breakthrough in swordsmanship constantly nourished Chen Ping'an's spiritual platform, propelling him to a higher level.

The source of the divine soul constantly changed, and then gradually disappeared, forming the outline of a vortex. As the divine soul surged, the vortex began to rotate slowly.

Until a certain point, the vortex was fully formed.

Rumble~

Chen Ping'an's mind was as if a thin veil had been completely lifted, and the world suddenly opened up before him. Subtle details that were previously difficult to discern were now fully revealed.

"The Three Realms of Heaven and Man, the Realm of Hidden Radiance, is complete!"

Countless spiritual lights intertwined and converged on the spiritual platform, eventually transforming into a dormant, hidden power that filled the vortex within the spiritual platform.

This silence, seemingly hidden, is actually more restrained, more refined, and more magnificent!

The Moon Palace Sword Technique is perfected; the three realms of Heaven and Man are achieved!

Wow~

Countless spiritual lights surged, transforming into divine soul power, centered on Chen Ping'an, and enveloping the surrounding space.

The immense divine soul, almost tangible, stirred up storms. But as the power of the Hidden Radiance gradually spread, the scalding, boiling divine soul seemed to return to its original simplicity.

At this moment, even without deliberately controlling it, Chen Ping'an was able to grasp every subtle detail.

hum~

A glint of light flashed in his eyes, and a panel of information appeared in front of him.

Name: Chen Ping'an

Realm: Celestial Realm 3 - Hidden Radiance Realm (Void and Stillness)

武学：青阳血炼法大成（0/38400）、颠鸾倒凤·阴阳枢入门（2285/8640）、三分归元真卷小成（1/15360）、无相自在法（残篇）小成（0/15360）、广寒剑法（三式）圆满、狂雷刀法圆满、太虚御风步圆满、七绝禁法圆满.

Secret Techniques: Soul Suppression Technique, Soul Guiding Technique, Butterfly Dream Bewitching Technique, Illusionary Eye

"The Three Realms of Celestial Beings, the Great Cultivation Realm!"

Chen Ping'an's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and a surge of heroic spirit welled up in his heart.

At this moment, if he hadn't deliberately maintained control, the entire Yunxu Mountain would probably have prostrated itself under his overwhelming aura.

The saying "Heaven and man can move mountains with a single hand" is no exaggeration.

In the realm of the celestial beings, the divine soul transforms into its source, allowing one to borrow the power of heaven and earth, gathering its strength and transforming it into one's own power to attack and defeat enemies.

The efficiency of transforming the soul into a source is not ideal. Upon reaching the Great Cultivation Realm, the source is transformed into a vortex, using ultimate power and drawing upon the power of heaven.

At the same moment, both the power of inhalation and exhalation and the power of heaven and man will be several times greater than those of people in the same realm.

A sudden outburst can become extremely terrifying.

An ordinary strike from a Celestial Being can affect an area of ​​about one mile in radius; in a fierce battle, the impact can extend to tens or even hundreds of miles.

But once one reaches the Great Cultivation Realm, a casual strike can cover an area of ​​several miles. A single thought can blast open a mountain.

It was not some small hill that was only a hundred feet high, but a majestic mountain that could truly be called a mountain.

It can be said that once one reaches the Great Cultivation Realm, all combat strength manifests at an incredible level.

In a fit of rage, what appears to an ordinary person is nothing more than a natural disaster in human form.

"With its divine soul covering over a hundred miles and its purity further enhanced, the same method, driven by the divine soul now, will be several times more powerful. In addition, there is the blessing of the realm and the influence of the pressure, resulting in a huge increase in overall combat strength compared to before!"

Chen Ping'an's eyes flickered as he sensed the changes within himself.

Half-step major repair and Heavenly Man major repair seem to be only half a step apart, but taking that half step makes a world of difference in combat power.

In actual combat, it will present an overwhelming situation.

With the completion of the Guanghan Sword Technique, Chen Ping'an also fully mastered the third move of the sword technique.

JX3, Misty Rain.

Dust and mist can sever the mortal world!

Within the Qingchi Courtyard, there were restrictions separating the area, as well as a Yin Wind Domain formed by the Yin Wind Pearl. In addition, Chen Ping'an intentionally concealed the commotion when he broke through to the next realm.

Thus, all advancements were restricted to the Qingchi Garden area.

The Great Cultivation of Heaven and Man is unlike other realms. Under the unique meaning of Hidden Radiance, if one does not intentionally and actively reveal it, the radiance of other realms can be hidden within.

As Chen Ping'an broke through his cultivation level, the structure within his spiritual platform transformed into a vortex of divine souls. Through the Hidden Radiance Spiritual Bridge, it connected the inside and outside, and the extreme suction force formed by the vortex continuously drew in the power of heaven and earth to nourish his spiritual platform and physical body.

Using the power of heaven and earth to nourish oneself is also one of the significant characteristics of the great cultivation of heaven and man.

Under the nurturing power of heaven and earth, even if there were any hidden injuries before, they can gradually be alleviated over time until they are completely healed.

Furthermore, even if a cultivator of the Celestial Realm does not cultivate their physical body, under the continuous nourishment and subtle tempering of the power of heaven and earth, their physical body will become extremely terrifying over time.

As for the strength of one's physique, it depends on the time spent nurturing, the overall efficiency of the cultivation method, and one's own foundation.

Many factors determine the health and well-being of one's body, but generally, those that lead to major physical transformations are largely similar in other aspects. Even if there are some deviations, they won't be too drastic.

Therefore, the main reference factor is the time elapsed after entering the advanced cultivation realm.

The longer it goes on, the more terrifying the physical body becomes.

Some veteran cultivators who have achieved great cultivation over many years could probably suppress the vast majority of ordinary celestial beings simply by virtue of their physical strength.

Of course, this has little to do with Chen Ping'an.

He has just broken through to the next realm, so the effects of the Nourishing Life Technique are limited. Even if he were to accumulate the physical benefits over the years, they would be negligible to him.

It's better than nothing, to say the least.

When he completes the three stages of the Qingyang Blood Refinement, his physical body will be comparable to that of a master body refiner.

Even if they were to enjoy a life of luxury now, it would only be icing on the cake and wouldn't solve the fundamental problems.

If he wants to make further progress in body tempering, there are only two directions.

First, find the Four Refinements True Blood to elevate your bloodline and physique to new heights.

Secondly, one can practice other body-strengthening techniques to further refine one's foundation.

Of course, if he can reach the fourth realm and become a Martial Dao Grandmaster, the effects of nourishing his physical body will be quite remarkable.

For the entire afternoon, Chen Ping'an was immersed in experiencing the changes within himself.

Hidden Radiance Realm, a realm of great cultivation.

Having spent many days with the Heavenly Luo Saintess in the Black Nether Mountains, his understanding and knowledge of this realm have been comprehensively enhanced.

Unlike the subtle divisions within the Piercing Rainbow Realm, the cultivation divisions within the Hidden Radiance Realm are more singular.

All the sources point directly to the changes in the vortex of the soul.

Chen Ping'an's current spiritual platform state is such that although his soul vortex has formed, it is only the size of a particle, with a rough outline and is not yet perfect. He belongs to the category of newly promoted major cultivators.

If we break it down further, it falls into the stage of emptiness and stillness. Although the hidden radiance is still and dormant, it is still relatively superficial overall. The source of the vortex is not deep enough, and its state is rather rough.

As time goes by, the vortex of the soul gradually becomes perfect. When it reaches that stage, the void and stillness have been formed, and one can be called a veteran cultivator.

If we take this a step further, then we become Mo Chen, whose vortex is like Mo Chen. Such beings, if we ignore external factors, are generally strong among veteran cultivators.

This belongs to the extremely powerful Celestial Realm cultivators. However, there are also some cultivators who have amazing talent in cultivation, but whose external cultivation methods are not manifest, and at this stage, they are only at the level of ordinary veteran cultivators.

But no matter what, with the support of one's spiritual realm, even if there are weaknesses in external things, one still has something to rely on.

As for the next step of the vortex as dark as ink, it is as deep as the abyss. If it is in terms of realm, it can be called the perfect Hidden Radiance Realm.

At this point, the next thing to consider is how to break through to the fourth realm of Great Celestial Being.

With this level of cultivation as a foundation, even with weak external methods, one can still be a powerful cultivator at the peak of their cultivation. If they also have offensive techniques and signature skills to rely on, then they will be among the top-tier cultivators in the Celestial Realm.

Some exceptionally talented individuals, at this stage, even possess the means and confidence to contend with a Grandmaster of Martial Arts.

"Empty and still, ink-deep, like an abyss."

Chen Ping'an's eyes flickered, and a series of information kept surfacing and swirling in his mind, confirming his own existence.

Unlike in the past, when he only focused on information, today he can fully compare himself to others, weigh the differences, and clearly define his own position.

As night fell, Chen Ping'an gained a comprehensive understanding of himself.

All aspects of spiritual foundation, system methods, and external framework have been comprehensively reviewed.

Those who can become Celestial Realm cultivators generally possess a pure Dao Foundation, or even a higher level. However, even at this level, their perfect divine soul and its extraordinary phenomena can serve as a foundation, widening the gap in combat power between them.

"Treasures: Golden Red Lotus, Evil Eye, Ice Jade Hairpin, Dark Moon Wheel, Withered Bone Spike, Yin Wind Pearl; Secret Treasures: Fragment of Tortoise Shell, Black Whirlwind Cloak; Rare Item: Deep Sea Pearl."

"Besides the obvious methods, there are still quite a few treasures that can be divided and utilized. In addition, there are secret techniques such as the Avici Thunder Sound, the Yin Bone Flame Technique, and the Soul Suppressing Technique, as well as auxiliary techniques such as the Soul Guiding Technique."

"."

Chen Ping'an's emotions shifted as he quietly reflected, sorting and categorizing them.

He currently relies on two main identities: the Black-Robed Old Monster and the Illusionary Dream Lord.

Between the two, one is a powerful elder, and the other is a reclusive genius.

The techniques and treasures of each other must be distinguished.

In addition, there is the identity of a Body Tempering Master, which can exist independently or overlap with the identity of the Illusionary Dream Heavenly Lord.

His most prized possession now is the Dream Pearl, which is also his true foundation.

Secondly, there is the Yin Wind Pearl.

Then came the withered bone spikes and the ice jade hairpin. The power of the rest was considerably weaker.

However, now that the formula for the Hundred Poisons Water has been obtained, its power will be further enhanced when combined with cold water and a deep-sea pearl.

The supernatural phenomena of the soul, the meaning of black and white, can always be present in the identity of the Illusionary Dream Heavenly Lord, but must never be revealed in other aliases.

and also

As night deepened, Chen Ping'an slowly opened his eyes.

With clear eyes and a clear mind, everything became clear and understandable.

"Now, if I were to face the former White Bone Great Cultivator again, I wonder what my chances of victory would be?"

Is it 1/9 or 1/0?

He dies, I win, or perhaps...

He escaped, I won!

Chen Ping'an appeared calm and confident, his brows exuding an unparalleled domineering aura and spirit.

With the completion of the Guanghan Sword Technique, the resulting panel boost propelled him into the realm of advanced cultivation.

Chen Ping'an was naturally satisfied.

These gains have also slightly exceeded expectations.

After perfecting the Guanghan Sword Technique, he set his sights on the Three-Part Return to Origin True Scroll. This was a masterpiece he created himself, a culmination of all his insights and training.

If he can truly reach that perfect stage, it will become his signature technique, marking another milestone in his cultivation journey.

The Three-Part Return to Origin technique truly lives up to its reputation as a precious manual. Even though his cultivation level has improved and he has taken this crucial step, his progress in cultivation is still not particularly fast.

It's just that it's a bit faster than the formless and free state of cultivation in the past, but the overall speed is still limited.

For several days in a row, Chen Ping'an took advantage of his breakthrough to cultivate the Three-Part Return to Origin True Scroll, hoping to accumulate more insights that could be transformed into his own foundation and used to learn from other cultivation techniques.

As Chen Ping'an practiced the Three-Part Return to Origin True Scroll, a sense of urgency arose in his heart.

Aside from the Three-Part Return to Origin True Scroll, the only cultivation technique he could practice on his panel was the Dual Cultivation Technique.

After passing through a certain bottleneck, one can rely on self-cultivation in this technique, but progress is as slow as a snail.

Without a replenishment of his cultivation techniques, his practice would come to a standstill. Chen Ping'an would naturally not allow this to happen.

"We need to get our hands on the Four Refinements of True Blood and the Free and Unfettered Journey as soon as possible!"

If you acquire other sword-wielding scrolls, you should plan for them as soon as possible, in case you need them as a backup!

There has been no news from Princess Bi Cang yet. The Heavenly Meteor Frost Blade, which Mo Sidao has been refining and forging, also needs time to complete.

With nothing else to do, Chen Ping'an naturally needed to remain in Bicang Prefecture.

A few days after breaking through to the next realm and undergoing major repairs, Chen Ping'an officially began refining the Hundred Poisons Water.

Now that his cultivation has broken through, his spiritual power is much stronger, and his ability to control his spiritual power is far beyond what it was before.

When it comes to refining the Hundred Poisons Water, it's naturally like a fish in water.

In just a few days, Chen Ping'an had refined several portions.

This amount would be more than enough for other occasions.

However, it is far from sufficient for applications in deep-sea pearls and deep-sea environments.

Looking around at the hundreds of drops of poisonous water, each about the size of a fist and shaped like a water droplet, Chen Ping'an sighed inwardly.

"The task is arduous and the road ahead is long."

It will likely take a long time to get everything ready.

Given these experiences, it's no wonder those old monsters were so furious when their treasures were destroyed.

This is the result of a tremendous amount of hard work put in every day.

It was planned and executed day by day, in a very real and thorough manner.

For several days, Chen Ping'an worked methodically, refining the Hundred Poisons Water without affecting his cultivation.

"We still have some auxiliary materials in stock, but we don't have enough purple violet."

On this day, Chen Ping'an looked at his empty spiritual item reserves and had an idea in his mind, so he prepared to make another trip.

Although purple-blue flowers are precious, they can still be found at some small trading fairs.

"Having cultivated for many days, I should go out for a while. I wonder what the situation is like in Bi Cang these days?"

Chen Ping'an's eyes flashed, and he rose and left Qingchi Courtyard. (End of Chapter)
