Book 5: Chapter 43: Chiliad Sword Conception
17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: Chen Heng comes from a supreme-martial world heavily steeped in martial strength. An immortal is someone who has ascended to a certain cultivation realm with the strength to explode an entire planet. Trading the Void Sword Technique for the Void Arts seems a worthwhile exchange.
Lord of the White Night: Speaking of the Void Arts, isn’t that the cultivation technique I purchased? It cost me 20,000 points back then.
Queen of Ice and Snow: I feel Fu Hua is a fitting candidate for practicing the Void Arts. For a small cost in points, she can convert Honkai Energy into Spiritual Energy. Given Fu Hua’s 500 years of cultivation, she can quickly advance to the Mind Dividing Realm.
He Who Knows Fate: About that, I think Honkai Energy is a form of Spiritual Energy. Immortal’s world is replete with Spiritual Energy, albeit with a berserk nature, hence the need to use points for purification.
Flat-Chested Chinese: According to what you say, your world possesses great martial strength. So, why do you need the Void Sword Technique? If you want me to give you the Void Sword Technique, you must clarify its purpose first.
He Who Knows Fate: It’s because of an ancestral cultivation technique. Our clan’s unique cultivation method emphasizes the sword conception rather than sword moves. It requires the user to persistently study different sword conceptions, eventually creating their own sword conception or integrating these conceptions into a Chiliad Sword Conception. The latter is the latest version of the Chen Clan Cultivation Technique my ancestor made. How do I put it? It’s a long and arduous journey—at least a thousand types of sword conceptions are required.
Flat-Chested Chinese: A thousand types…
He Who Knows Fate: I have about 800 conceptions at present, all of them high-grade. In addition to the sword conceptions handed down in my clan, my ancestor collected 720 types of sword conceptions for me. These are stored in the ancestral crystal left by my ancestor, and I need to continually comprehend and practice different sword techniques to cultivate sword conceptions.
Flat-Chested Chinese: Alright, deal.
He Who Knows Fate: OKOK.
Chen Heng acquired another sword conception, but it was still a long journey ahead. He needed at least 1,000, and they had to be high-grade sword conceptions. It was…too challenging.
The Chiliad Sword Conception involved forming a unique sword conception at the end to call one’s own—the distillation of all of one’s sword conceptions.
Everyone had a different Chiliad Sword Conception according to each person’s different sword conceptions. This was why Chen Heng’s ancestor gave him only 720 types of sword conceptions. After all, Chen Heng didn’t believe that his transcender ancestor could not get 1,000 high-grade sword conceptions.
However, Chen Heng was still very confident. After all, he had the association’s store—a great thing—even if the points consumed would be a bit much.
High-grade sword conceptions were not cheap.
The most annoying thing was that his ancestor had his 1,000,000 points turned into an Ability Fourth Awakening voucher. More importantly, Chen Heng could not use it yet.
Chen Heng would have to wait until his abilities were stronger. He had to push his abilities to the limit first in order to maximize the benefits of ability awakening.
While Sirin read her comic, Chen Heng studied the Will Energy cultivation method his ancestor obtained from another transcender. Chen Heng felt that this cultivation method was tailor-made for him.
He could practice this Will Energy cultivation method while cultivating the Chen Clan Sword Technique’s Chiliad Sword Conception.
The Will Energy cultivation method described in the text initially aimed at expanding one’s mind to cosmic levels. It started by condensing Will Energy into a planet, then expanded to a small galaxy, a large galaxy, and finally, the entire universe.
However, a transcender later modified it to transform Will Energy into sword-shaped Will Energy. This involved generating different swords based on every type of sword conception, ultimately forming at least 1,000 unique swords.
The value of this cultivation method lay not in the number of swords it could produce but in the process and method of refining and circulating Will Energy during its consolidation. This was the crux.
Chen Heng had grasped 89 sword conceptions, all of which came from the original Chen Clan Sword Technique. By using the special Will Energy tempering method and circulation method, he had already formed half a sword.
This did not include the initial sword-shaped Will Energy, which served as the main sword and symbolized Chen Heng himself.
Simply forming half a sword had already slightly boosted Chen Heng’s Will Energy, albeit with some pain.
During the process of forming the sword-conception version of Will Energy, his mind had been repeatedly hammered, much like forging a real sword through relentless tempering.
However, the creation of the sword-conception version of Will Energy had already consumed 30 percent of Chen Heng’s Will Energy, requiring a slow recovery before he could continue forging the Will Energy sword.
For prudence, Chen Heng would not let his Will Energy drop below 50 percent, just in case of emergency.
Now that Chen Heng had free time, he worked on forming his first Will Energy sword.
If anyone could see Chen Heng’s mental space, they would see a golden Will Energy sword, which represented Chen Heng, and a lavender sword, which was slowly forming, currently only a handle and half of a blade.
This meant that Chen Heng was constantly in mental agony, as the process of forming the sword-conception-type Will Energy sword was a severe mental tribulation.
Over an hour later:
Chen Heng cradled Sirin in his arms, continually patting her back to soothe her.
“Elder Brother, can we go now? I don’t want to stay here any longer.”
“Alright, alright. Younger Sister, could you wait a few more hours? Once I’ve collected those materials, we’ll leave immediately. Of course, if you really don’t want to stay here any longer, I’ll take you away right now.”
Chen Heng comforted Sirin while explaining the situation to her.
“Okay, I’ll wait a few more hours.”

“Is it you who’s been electrocuting me all this time? Is this amusing to you?” Shigure Kira confronted Chen Heng with a lot of anger after waking up in the infirmary.
“So, do you have a problem?” Electricity jumped between Chen Heng’s fingertips, which startled Shigure Kira into stepping back.
Had she developed a fear of electricity? Her reaction to the sight of the sparks was quite intense.
“Stop pointing that electricity at me. Put it away.”
“Huh?” Chen Heng increased the intensity of the electricity at his fingertips when he heard Shigure Kira’s bossy tone.
“I was wrong! I was wrong! Can you please stop?” Shigure Kira instantly submitted.
