The Karma Severing Sword Art, capable of severing all cause and effects with a single sword strike.
Not only does it literally cut through the Dao of Karma, it completely negates it as well, so the user won’t be effected by any cause and effect at all when using it. It’s power is tremendous as well.
Truly an overpowered and very useful combat art.
Not to mention that comprehending this sword art gave Tian Yongheng some insights into the Dao of Karma in itself.
All in all, he was very satisfied with these gains.
He stood up and walked back to his temporary residence in the palace of the Turquoise Lake Sword Manor, deciding to impart the sword art to Yan Jingfei after going back to the Eternal Peak.
...
7 years passed by in the blink of an eye.
Tian Yongheng broke through to the Sixth Stage of Golden Core Realm.
He stabilized his cultivation as he checked his status panel in front of him.
[Name: Tian Yongheng]
[Race: Mortal]
[Lifespan: 241/7,856]
[Cultivation: Sixth Stage of Golden Core Realm.]
[Constitution: Five-Elemental Divine Spiritual Physique.]
[Bloodline: Jade Pure Bloodline (Descendant of the Celestial Venerable of Primordial Beginning).]
[Innate Talent(s): Sword Heart, Primordial Meridians and Primordial Bones.]
The lifespan increase is becoming more and more excessive with each breakthrough.
From my estimations, my lifespan will be around 9,000 years by the time I’ll reach the peak of Golden Core Realm. I wonder how substantial the increase in lifespan will be upon entering the Void Refinement Realm.
He couldn’t help but wonder as he didn’t know how much lifespan would increase upon each major realm breakthrough, and only came to know about it after he entered the said realm.
400 years for Qi Condensation Realm, 800 for Foundation Establishment Realm, 1,500 for Acquired Realm, 3,000 for Innate Realm, 6,000 for Golden Core Realm and so on.
The lifespan increase seemed to follow a certain pattern as one transcended mortality and stepped closer to the domain of Immortal Gods.
He guessed the lifespan for Void Refinement Realm would be around 12,000 years or even more.
Just the 6th cultivation realm of the 10 mortal realms, including the Half Immortal Realm, was so powerful and had such incredible lifespan, then how high of an existence beyond the 10 mortal realms must be?
How great their lifespan would be?
Probably in the millions of years at the very least.
Living for millions of years...
At the thought of this, Tian Yongheng suddenly remembered that the Jurassic Period of earth lasted for around 50 million years, while earth itself was speculated to be 4.5 billion years old.
And the lifespans of Immortal Gods probably spans across billions and possibly even trillions of years...
He immediately stopped thinking about it, afraid of a sudden backlash of fate or anything like that. He knew that one couldn’t just think about things related to Immortal Gods unless their cultivation was high enough to ignore those backlashes.
And before that, he needs to focus on the present and enter the Void Refinement Realm first of all.
At this moment, a system notification sounded in his mind as a transparent blue screen appeared in front of him.
[Congratulations to the host for breaking through to the Sixth Stage of Golden Core Realm.]
[Obtained the Rank-6 Dharma Artifact, Invulnerable Amethyst Sword.]
[Invulnerable Amethyst Sword: Offensive Dharma Artifact. A longsword made from the Invulnerable Amethyst, a precious ore sought after by even Immortals and Devils alike. It is completely invulnerable as it’s name suggests unless the opposite party also has a Dharma Artifact made of a precious material on the same level as that of Invulnerable Amethyst.
The one wielding it can use the Cataclysmic Purple Flames which are within the sword, the very flames which can devour even heaven and earth to strengthen themselves.]
Interesting, it’ll be of good use.
Although this was the first time he had ever heard of the Invulnerable Amethyst and the Cataclysmic Purple Flames, since it was rewarded by the system, he could be rest assured that it was a great treasure.
It was not like he knew about anything that the system usually gave out, but everything it gave out was incredibly useful and never before seen in the world from what he knew.
The system’s origins were surely not simple, neither limited to the Upper Realm or even the 33 Heavens of the Divine Realm.
It may very well go far beyond the scope of the universe itself.
Although he was still too weak to know about it right now, in the future, the system will surely tell him when the time comes.
In the past few years, aside from cultivating, his insights into the Sword Dao and the Dao as a whole had increased alot. Not to mention that he had made quite a few friends with the people here, and come to known about the outside world far more than before because of Zhao Ye’s experiences.
In his younger days, Zhao Ye had traveled through the entire State of Fengzhou, visiting various Regions and factions, befriending countless experts with similar interests as him.
He had been to quite a few other Nascent Soul Realm powers aside from the Qingyun Sword Sect, and even a Tribulation Transcendence Realm force in which he had a friend.
In the outside world, every Region had at least a single Nascent Soul Realm power ruling over it, while multiple Tribulation Transcendence Realm forces were spread out across an entire State.
This 𝓬ontent is taken from freeweɓnovel.cѳm.
By a Nascent Soul Realm power, it meant having a powerhouse of the Nascent Soul Realm serving as the ruler. It didn’t matter whether they belonged to a faction or not.
It meant that even experts who were not part of any faction but in the Nascent Soul Realm, they could still be called as the rulers of a Region or a Nascent Soul Realm power.
A Region was typically millions of miles big, while States had areas of tens and even hundreds of millions of miles.
The Eastern Continent in itself was extremely large, spanning across tens of billions of miles at the very least.
This was the geographical distribution of all the Great Mortal Worlds in the Lower Realm decided on since the very beginning.
What were Golden Core Realm cultivators in this vast world, then?
They were insignificant, very weak. That’s why Tian Yongheng’s family was destroyed without having any significant impact, no, not even a tiny effect on the world.
Not even Void Refinement Realm was considered as really powerful.
To be considered as a truly formidable force in the Lower Realm, one needed to be at least in the Nascent Soul Realm. It was the bare minimum.
But if we’re talking about the supreme of the Lower Realm, forget the Nascent Soul Realm, not even Tribulation Transcendence Realm or Immortal Ascension Realm was enough.
Only the Half Immortal was considered as truly supreme, at least in the Lower Realm.
Looking at it from here, that kind of realm seemed so far away from Tian Yongheng, nigh-unachievable.
But when he looked back, he saw the him of the past, of more than 200 years ago who had not even started cultivating. Even the Foundation Establishment Realm was a faraway dream of that past version of him.
If he could come this far from so low, he could undoubtedly go even higher.
That’s why he had set on small goals.
One step at a time.
His focus now should be on achieving the Void Refinement Realm.
With that, he continued consolidating his cultivation, and some more time passed.
After a few more months, he stabilized his cultivation and also refined the Invulnerable Amethyst Sword.
He opened his eyes and gathered his thoughts. It was about time to leave the Turquoise Lake Sword Manor and go back to the Eternal Peak.
He had gained a lot from this trip to the Turquoise Lake Sword Manor this time. Not only did he obtain significant information about the world and established great connections, he also comprehended an entirely new, all powerful sword art.
Don’t forget about the deepened understanding and comprehension of the Dao.
It was very fruitful coming here indeed.
He couldn’t help but think, looking at the two floating screens in front of him.
[Zhao Ye’s current favorability: 3.5 Star]
[Sun Hao’s current favorability: 4-Star]
It was good to leave a favorable impression on these two and establishing nice connections.
Zhao Ye himself was quite strong, being at the peak of the Void Refinement Realm and would enter the Nascent Soul Realm in the near future, while also having connections with powerful figures from beyond the Qingyun Region.
Sun Hao, on the other hand, was a Sword Dao prodigy and Chosen One, being a future pillar of the current generation, the Nine Heavens Sword Sovereign, ascending to become an Immortal God.
At this point, as Tian Yongheng was about to stand up, his mind at ease, he suddenly felt vibrations from his Communication Jade.
