231: The terrifying talent, the Nine-Layer Wind Sword!

The moment that golden Spirit Pill entered Lu Sheng's Dantian, Lu Sheng only felt as if all the flesh and blood in his body had been sublimated at that instant.

His entire body became incredibly light, as if with just a gentle push of his foot, he could effortlessly step into the Void Realm.

Furthermore... his entire body was filled with an extremely terrifying sense of power.

"Is this... my Spirit Pill?"

Lu Sheng's gaze immediately fell upon the location of his Dantian, looking at the Spirit Pill that shimmered with a golden luster, and a strong sense of curiosity emerged in his eyes.

After a brief observation, Lu Sheng slowly opened his eyes.

He found that Kong Yunchang and Lan Linglong had already walked to his side.

"Tsk tsk tsk, you brat actually managed to condense a Spirit Pill that surpasses nine patterns. It's simply incredible!" Kong Yunchang exclaimed with emotion.

Lu Sheng smiled faintly. He had long anticipated this in his heart. It seemed like no one could achieve it, but it was simply because no one had such terrifying foundations as he did.

If someone had the same foundations as him, this Golden Core could also be condensed.

However... he still had to thank the existence of Profound Spirit Luck. Otherwise, without so much Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth, he would most likely still fall short.

"Old man, looking at your Golden Core, the richness of the Spiritual Qi seems to have exceeded a nine-pattern Spirit Pill by ten times. Can you... achieve Flying Heaven now?" Kong Yunchang suddenly asked.

Kong Yunchang looked at Lu Sheng with great interest. He could feel the extremely rich Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi contained within the Golden Core in Lu Sheng's body.

Under normal circumstances, it could already be considered a level of Spiritual Qi richness comparable to the Flying Sky Realm.

And with so much Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi permeating the Spirit Pill, it was said that one could achieve Flying Heaven.

It was just that Lu Sheng had just made a Breakthrough, and Kong Yunchang didn't know, so he asked.

However, after asking, Kong Yunchang regretted it. One must know that controlled flight was not just about having enough Spiritual Qi; it also required very strong control over Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi. Otherwise, the Spiritual Qi consumed by Flying Heaven was even more than that consumed in battle.

Only by continuously strengthening one's control over Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi could one achieve long-duration flight.

Lu Sheng had just made a Breakthrough and just grasped Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi. How could he achieve Flying Heaven all at once?

As a result, Kong Yunchang even mocked himself in his heart, wondering if he was overthinking things.

However... after hearing this, Lu Sheng pondered for a moment, then looked at the Void Realm in front of him and slowly took a step.

Boom!

It seemed as if strands of Spiritual Qi surrounded Lu Sheng's feet, and the presence of Spiritual Qi turned into a tangible substance.

Lu Sheng actually stepped directly onto the Spiritual Qi, forcefully rising into the air.

"This..."

Seeing this scene, Kong Yunchang's eyes widened instantly.

No... is Flying Heaven that simple now? Lu Sheng had just made a Breakthrough to the Spirit Transformation Realm, and he hadn't even begun to skillfully control Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, yet he could already step on the Void Realm?

But what shocked Kong Yunchang next continued.

Lu Sheng was seen stepping through the Void Realm, one step at a time, actually standing at a height of more than ten meters from the ground, his clothes fluttering loudly with the blowing wind.

Lu Sheng enjoyed the feeling of the strong wind hitting his face, and his whole body felt incredibly light.

"Is this the feeling of Flying Heaven?"

"Now... if I go all out, even without using the Heaven and Earth Hammer, I can crush most Spirit Transformation Realm powerhouses. If I use the Heaven and Earth Hammer... even Flying Sky Realm Martial Artists will have the strength to fight!"

Lu Sheng roughly estimated his current combat power.

It had to be said that Lu Sheng's current combat power was already terrifying. Although he had just entered the Spirit Transformation Realm, relying on the terrifying Spiritual Qi contained in the Golden Core, he reached the top tier of the Spirit Transformation Realm as soon as he made a Breakthrough!

"Good heavens!"

Kong Yunchang looked at Lu Sheng standing above the Void Realm, and even he, a being who had ascended to the Saintly Position, was completely shocked by Lu Sheng.

A moment later, Lu Sheng familiarized himself with Flying Heaven and then returned to the ground.

"Teacher is right, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi consumed by Flying Heaven is truly too much. With the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi in the Golden Core in my body, I can only support myself in flying through the air for at most the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, and the speed is not fast!"

"However, once I get familiar with it, this time will be extended, and the speed will also increase a bit!" Lu Sheng thought to himself.

If Kong Yunchang knew Lu Sheng's thoughts, he would probably curse out loud.

Is this not enough?

One must know that those Flying Sky Realm Martial Artists, when they first stepped into Flying Heaven, were only like this. You, a little fellow who just stepped into Spirit Transformation, still have a big Realm gap before Flying Heaven, yet you can already do this, and you're still not satisfied?

A moment later, Lu Sheng, Kong Yunchang, and Lan Linglong returned to the courtyard.

"Spirit Transformation Realm now, one step closer to the Entering Dao Stage. Senior Sister, don't worry, I will definitely step into Peak within ten years!" Lu Sheng said seriously to Lan Linglong.

Lan Linglong smiled faintly and said nothing, but her heart felt warm, making her smile even brighter.

"So... Senior Sister needs to guard Yin Yang City for the next ten years?" Lu Sheng looked at Kong Yunchang.

Kong Yunchang nodded: "The Yin-Yang Dual Dragon Formation can not only suppress the Sky Devil Emperor but also possesses powerful destructive power, its might even comparable to a Devil King at the peak. With Linglong here, Yin Yang City cannot fall!"

"Furthermore, now that the Sky Demon Royal Clan no longer has the Sky Devil Emperor, they may not have time to pay attention to our Great Xia. With Linglong here, there won't be many invasions from Demon (other demons). This way, the defensive forces of Yin Yang City can be dispersed to other main frontline cities, alleviating the pressure on them."

"This is also a good thing for our Great Xia!"

"Don't worry, if no accidents happen in the other main frontline cities, this old man will stay here with Linglong. After all... she is also my Disciple!" Kong Yunchang said indifferently.

Hearing this, Lu Sheng also felt relieved. With his teacher here to oversee things, Lan Linglong probably wouldn't need to take action many times. This way, Lan Linglong's Lifespan could be extended.

He would also have more ample time to charge towards the Peak Realm.

"Alright, kid, the matter of Profound Spirit Space is over, but your own matters are not yet finished." Kong Yunchang suddenly seemed to remember something and said to Lu Sheng.

"To step into the Peak Realm, how can one achieve this Realm without encountering some hardships? The Apex Plan devised by that kid Lin Xuan is very useful for you. As long as you honestly follow Lin Xuan's plan, you will at least be a being who ascends to the Saintly Position in the future. At that time, you will have even greater hope of stepping into the Peak Realm."

"Linglong's situation has already been told to you, so even if you stay here, it won't be of much use."

"Later... just follow Lin Xuan's plan!" Kong Yunchang spoke calmly.

Lu Sheng remained silent for a long time.

"Teacher..." At this moment, Lan Linglong suddenly spoke. She smiled and looked at Kong Yunchang: "Don't you worry that Little Junior Brother's current strength is a bit too weak for the Apex Plan?"

Kong Yunchang's expression immediately became strange.

Lu Sheng's strength is too weak for the Apex Plan?

What kind of talk is that?

Is a Spirit Transformation Realm Martial Artist considered weak?

One must know that at Su Yu's age, being able to make a Breakthrough to the Body Storage Realm was already very Heaven-Defying. This guy not only surpassed Body Repository but even reached the terrifying Spirit Transformation Realm.

Is this called weak?

Kong Yunchang was about to say something when he heard Lan Linglong say with a smile: "Teacher, you haven't really guided Little Junior Brother much. How about letting Little Junior Brother cultivate by your side for a while during this period?"

Hearing Lan Linglong's words, Kong Yunchang finally reacted.

Yes, he had taken Lu Sheng as a Disciple for so long, and apart from when Lu Sheng first made a Breakthrough to Spirit Transformation and he gave Lu Sheng some guidance, it seemed he hadn't really guided Lu Sheng much.

Lu Sheng's ability to reach this point was entirely due to his own talent and effort.

Kong Yunchang fell silent.

He... was still a bit unqualified after all.

However, very quickly, Kong Yunchang raised his head and looked at Lu Sheng, whose face was full of hope, and smiled.

“Your Second Senior Sister has spoken, so I’ll talk to Lin Xuan and let you cultivate here with me for a period of time!”

Lu Sheng’s eyes lit up.

Whether it was the Sage of Literature or the Martial Saint, their guidance had greatly helped him. If he could cultivate by Kong Yunchang’s side, and since he was already Kong Yunchang’s Disciple, Kong Yunchang would definitely not hold anything back.

“Hehe, thank you, Master!”

Lu Sheng said with a grin.

Kong Yunchang glared at Lu Sheng, but seeing the smiles on Lan Linglong and Lu Sheng’s faces, Kong Yunchang’s heart seemed to be touched by something, and it eventually turned into a smile.

The smiles of the three permeated the courtyard, yet they seemed somewhat peaceful… A few days later, in the courtyard, Lu Sheng held the Dragon Slayer Sword, performing dazzling sword maneuvers, with Sword Qi spreading around him, constantly attacking Lu Sheng.

Those streaks of sharp Sword Qi could even easily tear apart a boulder weighing a thousand catties.

Yet, they couldn’t break through Lu Sheng’s defense.

Clang clang clang!!!

In the courtyard, there were crisp sounds of Sword Qi colliding.

A moment later, as the surrounding Sword Qi gradually dissipated, Lu Sheng finally took a deep breath, his face flushed, and sweat dripped onto the ground.

“Teacher, how was it?”

Lu Sheng smiled and looked under the stone pavilion.

Under the stone pavilion, Kong Yunchang lay on a rattan chair, comfortably basking in the sunlight, while Lan Linglong, as always, quietly read a book in her hand.

Only after hearing Lu Sheng’s words, Lan Linglong slightly raised her head and gave Lu Sheng a gentle smile.

Kong Yunchang said without even raising his eyelids: “It’s just a thousand wisps of Sword Qi. A Fourth-level Sword Intent is indeed good, but the Qi Refining Stage is the most important stage for a swordsman to improve his Sword Intent. Some exceptionally talented swordsmen can even raise their Sword Intent to the seventh or even eighth level before entering the Entering Dao Stage!”

“You still have a long way to go. When you can perfectly withstand ten thousand wisps of my Sword Qi, then you will be able to step into Fifth-level Sword Intent. At that time… I will teach you a peerless Sword Art!”

Listening to Kong Yunchang’s words, Lu Sheng’s eyes immediately lit up.

Although he had a trump card like the Heaven and Earth Hammer, even after using it, and even though his Physical Body Refining had reached the eighth level and his cultivation had reached Spirit Transformation, he would still be exhausted.

The improvement of the Physical Body also gradually decreased with the entry into the Qi Refining Stage.

Ultimately, he still needed to cultivate some other top Martial Arts as his trump cards.

And the peerless Sword Art in Kong Yunchang’s hands was Lu Sheng’s goal.

“Fifth-level Sword Intent, huh…”

A glimmer of light flickered in Lu Sheng’s eyes.

Three days later.

Dense Sword Qi furiously attacked Lu Sheng, who stood in place. Behind him, an extremely solid Hidden Dragon Sword Intent suddenly emerged.

Vaguely, one could even see illusory Flood Dragons circling around that sword shadow.

Fourth-level Sword Intent could already be materialized, and even integrated into a Sharp Weapon.

And at Fifth-level Sword Intent, the special power within the Sword Intent could even be revealed.

For example, Flame Sword Intent could not only materialize the Sword Intent, but even the power of fire within the Sword Intent could be revealed along with the materialization of the Sword Intent.

And now, the Hidden Dragon Sword Intent behind Lu Sheng was already vaguely revealing the power of the Hidden Dragon.

Roar roar roar!!

Bursts of Dragon roars echoed in the courtyard, stirring up gales. In an instant, the seemingly dense Sword Qi around, in the midst of the Flood Dragon’s roar, instantly vanished.

The next moment, the revealed illusory Flood Dragon figure surged into Lu Sheng’s Dragon Slayer Sword. Within the sword body of the Dragon Slayer Sword, it was as if a real Flood Dragon was constantly swimming within the Dragon Slayer Sword.

It exuded an extremely terrifying power.

Lu Sheng, holding the Dragon Slayer Sword, suddenly swung it in one direction.

Abyss!

Hidden Dragon Formless Sword, Entering Abyss Realm Martial Arts, Abyss!!!

Within the Sword Qi, an unfathomable power was contained, as if it wanted to completely devour everything.

So much so that the Sword Qi even turned a deep black.

And in that direction, Kong Yunchang stood there with a silent expression. When that black Sword Qi was about to land on Kong Yunchang, it was suddenly dispelled by an invisible force.

Kong Yunchang stood still, silently looking at Lu Sheng in front of him, lost in thought.

“Hiss!”

Finally, Kong Yunchang gasped, looking at Lu Sheng as if he were looking at a monster.

Damn it, three days ago, he was still talking about when Lu Sheng would reach Fifth-level Sword Intent and when he would teach Lu Sheng a peerless Sword Art.

Kong Yunchang originally thought that even with Lu Sheng’s Heaven-Defying talent, it would take half a month to advance from Fourth-level to Fifth-level, but who knew… it only took him three days. This kid actually managed to advance from Fourth-level Sword Intent to Fifth-level Sword Intent.

No, is there really anyone in this world who can cultivate so fast?

How long did it take him to advance from Fourth-level to Fifth-level back then?

Two months? Or three months?

Kong Yunchang couldn’t remember, but his gaze towards Lu Sheng carried a hint of vicissitude.

Lu Sheng also excitedly ran over at this time and said to Kong Yunchang, “Teacher, I have already stepped into Fifth-level Sword Intent!”

“I know!!”

Kong Yunchang roared irritably.

Lu Sheng shrank his neck. He was a little confused as to why his teacher was acting this way, but he still rubbed his hands together, looking at Kong Yunchang with anticipation.

Noticing Lu Sheng’s small expressions, Kong Yunchang’s mouth twitched slightly, then he waved his hand.

“Forget it, forget it!”

As he spoke, Kong Yunchang walked to the center of the courtyard and gently waved his hand. Immediately, a short wooden stick appeared in Kong Yunchang’s hand.

Wisps of Sword Qi surrounded the wooden stick, imbuing it with a powerful killing aura without damaging it.

It was as if the wooden stick in Kong Yunchang’s hand was a true Divine Weapon Sharp Weapon.

“Watch closely!”

Kong Yunchang suddenly let out a low cry, then quietly swung the wooden stick in his hand. In an instant, the Sword Qi on the wooden stick surged out, like continuous long winds.

The Sword Qi was like gentle breezes blowing, yet it carried an extreme sharpness.

The next moment, the Sword Qi, which was like a gentle breeze, changed, directly transforming into sharp gusts of wind, howling with a powerful destructive force.

However, the Sword Qi changed again.

This time, it directly changed from the strong wind to a surging gale.

Boom boom boom!!

A destructive force also faintly erupted from within the Sword Qi, causing the space where the Sword Qi was located to slightly twist.

Immediately after… the Sword Qi changed again. This time… the Sword Qi was even more like an endless storm, carrying an extremely domineering world-ending power, descending in an instant.

Crack!

Under the sweeping of the Sword Qi, the ground instantly cracked, as if the entire ground was about to be completely torn apart.

Even the entire courtyard trembled slightly at this moment, seemingly unable to withstand the power of this storm.

Kong Yunchang slowly retracted his arm, then gently swung it towards the sky.

Buzz!

A soaring Sword Qi, carrying endless storm power, instantly shot towards the sky.

At that moment, the clouds above the sky were completely cut apart, revealing an extremely smooth wound. From a distance, it looked as if the sky itself had been completely split in two.

“This…”

Lu Sheng’s pupils slightly contracted as he watched the scene before him.

What kind of power was this, that it could even split the sky!

“This sword… is called Ninefold Wind Sword!”
