As for the realms above the Golden Core Realm, he didn’t know the methods of cultivating in them.
At this moment, Tian Yunchen finally stepped out of his cave abode, having entered the Golden Core Realm.
He still had not stabilized his cultivation base just yet, however, feeling Tian Yongheng’s presence outside, he came out to see him.
After talking for a bit, he gave Tian Yunchen some pointers about the Golden Core Realm and talked about his plans to visit the Turquoise Lake Sword Manor in some time.
Some time later, both of them returned to their cave abodes after discussing all these matters.
Inside of his cave abode, Tian Yongheng sat cross-legged, contemplating something before he took out the Primal Dao Sword and the Dharma Fusion Stone from his system space.
Since he was going out, he should ensure his maximum safety.
Even though the Turquoise Lake Swordmaster was already in his friends list and had a favorability of 1-Star, he still couldn’t trust him fully just yet.
He was a Void Refinement Realm powerhouse, after all!
Despite being very strong himself, even now, he was not sure if he could take on cultivators of the Void Refinement Realm.
What if there was a massive gap between the Golden Core Realm and the Void Refinement Realm?
He couldn’t afford to be careless. Not until he was sure he could insta-kill Void Refinement Realm experts.
Specially since the Turquoise Lake Swordmaster himself was an extraordinary person.
Tian Yongheng opened his profile and checked his description again.
[Turquoise Lake Swordmaster Zhao Ye: Ninth Stage of Void Refinement Realm.
He is the founder and master of the Turquoise Lake Sword Manor, the most prodigious Sword Cultivator of the Qingyun Region. As a mortal, he was obsessed with swords, but due to his status as a commoner of a powerful mortal empire, he couldn’t practice, which made him work very hard and he later on joined that empire’s Imperial Guards as the best swordmaster.
After coming into contact with Immortal Cultivation, he was revealed to have Dual Elemental Spiritual Roots. He did not join any faction and just focused on his cultivation and the Sword Dao, becoming a renowned Sword Cultivator by the time he reached the Innate Realm.
He later on created the Turquoise Lake Sword Manor after accidentally obtaining an ancient scripture containing some knowledge of heavenly secrets including Chosen Ones and a Sword Technique. He wants to establish good relations with you because he suspects you’re a Chosen One.]
[Current favorability: 1-Star]
Apparently, the Turquoise Lake Swordmaster actually had an ancient text that recorded the heavenly secrets and a Sword Technique. He even had knowledge of the Chosen Ones.
Tian Yongheng had to visit him, no matter what. He must learn what was in those ancient texts and if they revealed any other information.
However, he deliberately delayed it for some time.
Why?
This 𝓬ontent is taken from freeweɓnovel.cѳm.
He was waiting for his strength to increase so he could fight Zhao Ye in the Simulation Battle Trial to truly test his own limits and experience the power of the peak of Void Refinement Realm.
If he couldn’t defeat him even now, then he won’t hesitate to cancel all his plans for another few decades and only go out when he could defeat him.
At this moment, he began upgrading the Primal Dao Sword with the Dharma Fusion Stone.
A year later.
He finally succeeded in upgrading it to a Rank-6 Dharma Artifact.
Now, combined with the Sword of Charity, he had two Rank-6 Dharma Artifacts.
He instantly began to cultivate all his skills to the current limit as soon as the Primal Dao Sword was upgraded.
5 years passed by in a flash.
He finally cultivated all his techniques, spells, and Divine Powers to his current level.
Now, he was ready to enter the simulation and face off the Void Refinement Realm, more specifically, the peak of the Void Refinement Realm, the greatest forces of Qingyun Region.
Immediately after, he entered the Simulation Battle Trial, choosing Zhao Ye as his opponent.
Just as he entered, he immediately activated all his Dharma Artifacts and directly attack Zhao Ye in front of him using all his techniques and spells except for Divine Powers.
*Swoosh!*
*Boom!*
The Celestial Swords bombarded at Zhao Ye while a rain or Golden Lotuses fell from the sky, destroying everything in their wake as a huge palm of Spiritual Energy also landed at him.
Tian Yongheng didn’t even hesitate before using all these throwing all these incomparably destructive attacks at Zhao Ye.
The simulation took place in an alternate spacetime generated by the system, which almost looked identical to the real world, however, as soon as something here was destroyed, it would recover almost immediately.
So, Tian Yongheng could do anything here without caring about it.
Dust rose from the destructive power of the various spells and techniques, spanning across hundreds of miles before dying down.
However, from the dust rose a bright sword light, becoming increasingly huge before slashing down towards Tian Yongheng.
*Swoosh!*
Knew he wouldn’t go down that easily. As expected of the Void Refinement Realm, and more importantly, the most prodigious Sword Cultivator of the Qingyun Region.
Tian Yongheng couldn’t help but think before immediately summoning a golden colored shield around his body, which the sword light landed on.
*Boom!*
A loud boom echoed throughout the space, and the sword light instantly shattered, leaving only a small crack on the barrier.
Benevolent Light Seraphic Barrier!
It was capable of blocking attacks of the Ninth Stage of Void Refinement Realm with only some minor cracks!
Confidence erupted from within Tian Yongheng and he immediately raised his right hand up, bringing his thumb, index finger, and middle finger altogether.
A golden light emerged on his fingertips, exuding immense power and a unfathomable pressure.
Heaven Earth Quintessential Sword Finger!
One of his most powerful attacks!
The world was enveloped in white, as if time had stopped, before he snapped his finger.
*Snap!*
An unimaginably power force swept across the world, with devastating pressure that could bury all heaven and earth towards Zhao Ye.
Seeing this attack, Zhao Ye instantly raised his hand, his fingers shaped like swords as a barrier of Sword Qi surrounded him, the pressure exuding from it so great that Tian Yongheng could barely withstand it.
This was the power of the Void Refinement Realm!
*BOOOOOOOM!*
A loud boom was heard as the entire area within the range of more than a thousand miles was wiped off the face of earth.
This was Tian Yongheng’s full, true strength enhanced multiple times by the Heaven Earth Quintessential Sword Finger!
The power that could be called as invincible in the Golden Core Realm, sweeping across everything below the Void Refinement Realm!
As the smoke from the last attack began to die down, Tian Yongheng was internally dumbstruck as his eyes landed at the place where Zhao Ye was.
The protective layer of Sword Qi was still there, almost completely intact, with only a single crack on it!
The crack couldn’t be called too big, but it was not too small either. Somewhere in the middle.
Upon seeing this, Tian Yongheng immediately brought out the Primal Dao Sword and prepared to use another spell.
He raised the Primal Dao Sword, pointing at the sky, his Sword Intent brimming out and into the Primal Dao Sword, releasing a terrifying pressure, undoubtedly on the same level as that of the Heaven Earth Quintessential Sword Finger.
The Immortal Slaying Stellar Sword Formation!
*BOOM!*
At this moment, with a loud sound, the Sword Intent swept out from the Primal Dao Sword towards Zhao Ye in a straight line glowing like stars.
This Sword Intent seemer to be cutting through all Spiritual Energy!
*BOOM!*
With another loud bang, it landed on the shield of Sword Qi around Zhao Ye, however, at this moment, Zhao Ye raised his hand and a wave of Spiritual Energy gushed out, enhancing the barrier of Sword Qi.
It suffered little damage, once again!
Tian Yongheng couldn’t help but take a deep breath helplessly. He really underestimated the Void Refinement Realm too much.
Just as he was about to continue attacking, Zhao Ye flew into the air and took out a sword, his own aura becoming extremely oppressive and cold, which Tian Yongheng could barely withstand.
And the next moment, before Tian Yongheng could even react, he saw his headless body hovering midair, his head rolling around in the air as his eyes caught a glimpse of Zhao Ye who was already behind him, holding the same sword horizontally.
Zhao Ye in the simulation was just a clone of the real deal with no mind of his own. He didn’t even look back.
Tian Yongheng’s eyes closed, darkness surrounding his senses before he suddenly opened his eyes again, sitting in his cave abode.
The simulation ended.
This was probably the first time he had ever been defeated since starting on his journey.
And it was such a crushing defeat too.
So this is the true peak of Void Refinement Realm, the pinnacle of Qingyun Region below the Nascent Soul Realm...I’m really nowhere near that right now.
And the Turquoise Lake Swordmaster...he’s worthy of being called the most prodigious Sword Cultivator of the Qingyun Region.
He still felt somewhat terrified of that last attack. He couldn’t even sense what happened back then.
He was so scared that his hands were shaking even now.
