Chapter 78 Consolidating Realm, Begin Practicing Sword Techniques!

【As the first yuan seed settled in your body, you didn't rush to get up.】

【Instead, you sat cross-legged, quietly perceiving the earth-shattering changes happening in your body.】

【The Origin Opening Realm is indeed a whole new world.】

【You clearly felt that the yuan seed suspended in your canghai aperture was like a powerful, never-resting heart.】

【With each pulsation, it greedily swallowed the free-floating Origin Qi from the outside.】

【After transformation, it pumped out streams of azure, spiritual Origin Power.】

【Flushing through your limbs and bones.】

【Under the nourishment of Origin Qi, you found that your ability to digest 'heterogeneous energy' also underwent a qualitative change.】

【The residual energy of the illusory water lily that had accumulated in your body, requiring slow, diligent effort to digest.】

【And the 'slow-release spiritual source' left by the Great Grandmaster in your Sea of Consciousness.】

【Were now being broken down and absorbed at a visible speed.】

【"At this rate, it might not take many days for me to fully comprehend these foundations."】

【"And stabilize at the Early Stage of the Origin Opening Realm."】

【What surprised you even more was that with the deep Fusion of the illusory water lily's energy.】

【The Origin of your Profound Water Spirit Body seemed to be nurturing some peculiar change.】

【It was a faint tremor, like a seed breaking its shell, but you had a premonition that the outcome would soon be revealed.】

【"Hmph—"】

【You stood up and casually waved your arm.】

【A dull explosion echoed in the air, a sonic boom generated by the resonance of pure Physical Body strength and Origin Power.】

【Feeling the surging power within your body, you nodded in satisfaction, then sat down again.】

【You casually picked up a handful of priceless water-attributed Origin Sand, as if it were ordinary sand.】

【Without hesitation, you used Origin Power to refine it, beginning to polish the newly opened apertures.】

【This feeling of clearly perceiving yourself growing stronger every minute and second, with abundant resources, was truly intoxicating.】

【...】

【The following days passed very simply, even with a 'boring' luxury.】

【Although there were still many doubts surrounding the Heart-Eroding Cult incident.】

【You also knew that the conspiracy behind it was far more than just a Blood Shadow Life Replacement.】

【But these were not things you needed to worry about for now.】

【"In the simulation, as long as there is no life-threatening danger, everything else can be set aside for now."】

【"The most important thing is one's own progress."】

【Your eyes were firm, and your mind was clear.】

【"Conspiracies? Schemes? If I Cultivate to become a Martial Saint myself, will I still need to fear those rats hiding in the sewers?"】

【"By then, one force will overcome ten, and I'll just push through directly."】

【With this mindset, your daily routine underwent a tremendous change.】

【You no longer spent every day at school as before.】

【Attending theoretical classes that were superficial to you now, playing the role of a good student.】

【You applied to the school for 'independent Cultivation', rarely going to school during the day.】

【Only at 7 PM would you appear punctually at the combat training hall.】

【For an hour of gold medal teaching assistant guidance.】

【After all, you were now a true Kaiyuan Realm Expert, and your status was no longer comparable to before.】

【The value of this one hour was higher than an entire day before.】

【"Hey, Li Ang, why have you been so elusive lately?"】

【Inside the training hall, Liu Xiyue looked at your calm and composed, almost otherworldly Divine Qi appearance, grinding her teeth in annoyance.】

【She was still struggling to reach Ninth Stage Perfection, grinding her Qi and blood and practicing swordplay every day, exhausted.】

【Yet you had already crossed that chasm, standing on a higher landscape, and even looked 'idle'.】

【"No choice, once the Realm is reached, more time is needed to comprehend the world."】

【You shrugged, looking at her unconvinced expression, and gave an extremely irritating evaluation:】

【"For students who haven't advanced to Origin Opening, I have nothing to say."】

【"You'll understand when you reach this Realm."】

【"You...!"】

【Liu Xiyue was so angry she almost drew her sword, but sensing the unfathomable Origin Power fluctuations from your body.】

【She could only stomp her foot in resentment and turn to vent her anger on the alloy training dummy.】

【After teasing Liu Xiyue as usual, you continued your 'wealthy' Cultivation life.】

【During the day, you mainly did two things.】

【Sprinkling Origin Sand to polish your apertures, and — beating Old Wu (crossed out), sparring with Old Wu.】

【The private training ground behind the Teachers Apartment.】

【"Clang! Clang! Clang!"】

【The intense clang of metal on metal was incessant.】

【Although Wu Changhe still had an advantage in Realm and was more experienced.】

【He was, after all, old, and not Soaring, so his body was starting to decline.】

【While you were in the prime of your youth, full of Dragon-like vigor, and with the Profound Water Spirit Body, your recovery was monstrously abnormal.】

【Coupled with your unrestrained attacks, not needing to hold back like Old Wu, you fought like a madman.】

【Often after an hour of training, Old Wu would be panting heavily, while you were still energetic, shouting, "Three hundred more rounds!"】

【After these days of training, Wu Changhe looked at your once agreeable good student face.】

【Now he found it a bit annoying.】

【"This kid... is he trying to exhaust my old bones to death?"】

【Whenever you keenly perceived Old Wu's face darkening and his mood subtly changing.】

【You would immediately stop the rhythm of your attacks.】

【"Oh, Teacher, that 'Horse-Turning Saber' move of yours was too exquisite!"】

【"Even with my Origin Power protecting me, I almost couldn't react in time!"】

【"The application of Origin Power within it truly inspires awe!"】

【You started flattering him with a look of admiration, smoothly changing the topic.】

【When Old Wu's expression eased slightly, you would then opportunely add:】

【"By the way, Teacher, to thank you for your guidance, how about I treat you to a meal at Zuixian Tower tonight?"】

【"I heard they just got a few jars of hundred-year-old aged wine..."】

【"Hmph, at least you're not heartless, kid."】

【This trick never failed.】

【After thoroughly adapting to the power of the Origin Opening Realm and stabilizing your Realm.】

【You began to Cultivate the Yuan Martial Saber Technique obtained from the Liu Family — the Water Moon Mirror Ripples Saber Technique.】
