Cultivation Starts from Farming

Chapter 1121 - 470: Sword Intent Forms Momentum and Achieves Perfection (Part 2)

There are even some top-tier Cultivators who have immersed themselves deeply in the Mid-Stage Divinity Transformation, with extremely profound foundations, who, by relying on certain Secret Techniques or supreme treasures, are already able to forcibly shatter the stable void and attempt ascension."As for me now, if I go all out and pour out all my trump cards, even among Mid-stage Divinity Transformation Cultivators, I would definitely count as a formidable existence." Xu Ping now had a clear sense of his own strength.

Of course, compared to those very peak Divinity Transformation Cultivators who can shatter the void and ascend to the Upper Realm, he was still somewhat inferior.

But in the mortal world, he was still one of the absolute pinnacles.

"However, now that the first turn has reached Perfection, it’s time to put the comprehension of the second turn on the agenda." Xu Ping pondered silently in his heart.

"The might of the first turn at Perfection is already strong enough; if this second turn can also be comprehended to Perfection..."

Xu Ping’s gaze grew deep as he extrapolated that more distant future. "The power contained within might be enough to truly reach the level of Late-Stage Divinity Transformation!"

Late-Stage Divinity Transformation!

What kind of concept was that?

In this mortal realm, it meant possessing the strength to shatter the void, trigger the Ascension Tribulation, and directly ascend to the Upper Realm.

That was the ultimate realm countless Divinity Transformation Cultivators dreamed of yet could never obtain!

This thought set his heart surging like the tides.

Thinking back, before the first turn of his Sword Dao had reached Perfection, he had absolutely no clue about that abstruse "second turn," as if viewing flowers in the fog, separated by an insurmountable barrier.

But now, with the first turn perfected and his own Sword Dao having initially integrated with the momentum of heaven and earth, the situation was somewhat different.

Although there was still a great distance between him and truly comprehending and stepping into the realm of the second turn, like gazing up at the starry sky—knowing its vastness yet unable to touch its true form.

At the very least, within that fog, he had vaguely glimpsed a direction and sensed where the threshold leading to a higher hall lay.

"Second turn: Heart Sword Reflects the Heavens, from Condensing-One to Resonance..."

Xu Ping silently recited this overarching principle containing supreme truth, savoring it carefully.

"I have already completed the first turn’s Condensing-One, whereas this ’Resonance’..."

Xu Ping seemed to gain some insight.

This no longer seemed to be mere condensation and control, but rather required that the Heart Sword align with the Heavenly Heart, that Sword Intent and the Great Dao, through one’s own sword, reflect the myriad heavenly Daos?

Its profundity far surpassed the first turn, involving a deeper-level fusion and a realm of mind and spirit.

The deeper meaning contained within would require a great deal of time to ponder and to verify.

It was not something that could be accomplished in one stroke.

Temporarily suppressing this yearning and initial understanding toward a higher sword realm, Xu Ping put away the Canghua Divine Wood Sword and drew it into his body for nurturing.

For the cultivation of the Sword Dao, advancement and relaxation in turn is the Orthodoxy.

...

In quite a good mood, Xu Ping strolled out of seclusion, and soon found Duan Shuang in the Spiritual Qi–abundant courtyard, tending to a rare Spirit Plant.

Sunlight spilled over her body, coating her transcendentally beautiful face with a layer of gentle radiance.

Sensing Xu Ping’s presence, she lifted her head and broke into a smile, like a hundred flowers blooming.

Xu Ping keenly noticed that, thanks to these years of often engaging in profound Dual Cultivation with him, a Divinity Transformation Cultivator,

Duan Shuang not only had an extremely stable foundation, but her cultivation had advanced with astonishing speed. At this moment her aura was full and harmonious, having clearly reached the level of a top-tier Late-Stage Nascent Soul.

Mana surged around her; she seemed not far from that realm of Nascent Soul Perfection.

"Shuang’Er, your cultivation has progressed so quickly; it seems it won’t be long before you can attempt to assault Nascent Soul Perfection." Xu Ping stepped forward, naturally wrapping an arm around her slender waist, and said with a smile.

Duan Shuang nestled in his arms, her eyes full of happiness and dependence, and said softly, "It is all thanks to you, my Xu Lang."

She knew very well that without Xu Ping, this Divinity Transformation Dao Companion, using his pure primordial yang and Dual Cultivation Secret Techniques to nourish her in return, she could never have made such tremendous progress in a mere twenty to thirty years.

Xu Ping nodded slightly, his heart also weighing matters.

If Duan Shuang could smoothly reach Nascent Soul Perfection, then when the two of them Dual Cultivated again, with yin and yang intertwining, dragon and tiger supporting one another, and by relying on even more advanced Secret Techniques, it could indeed provide a certain boost to his own cultivation.

Especially in the aspects of purifying Mana and tempering Divine Sense, it might have wondrous effects.

Of course, the premise for all this was that fortune was sufficient to meet Xu Ping’s needs for cultivation.

The two lingered in tenderness for a while longer, exchanged some intimate words, and enjoyed this rare, tranquil time.

However, the plans in Xu Ping’s heart regarding his future path were already clear.

After parting from Duan Shuang, he did not tarry much, and once again returned to the core secret chamber, beginning a new round of closed-door cultivation.

"Right now, my offensive and defensive battle strength, whether in Divine Sense Secret Techniques or in Perfection-level Sword Dao, has already reached or even surpassed that of an ordinary Mid-Stage Divinity Transformation, and can be called the peak of the mortal world.

"Perhaps...it is time to head to the Wind Origin Realm and completely settle things with the Star Palace Saints."

"However, before that..."

Xu Ping’s gaze was calm. "The cultivation of the Ten Thousand Woods Evergreen Scripture may need to be pushed a step further first."

His Cultivation Realm was constrained by this realm and hard to improve, but the depth of comprehension of his Cultivation Technique had no such limitation.

By cultivating the Divinity Transformation Chapter of the Ten Thousand Woods Evergreen Scripture to a higher level, he could continuously提升 the quality of his Mana, making it purer, more condensed, and brimming with vitality, while also greatly enhancing his own ability for prolonged combat.

With a single thought, that mysterious proficiency panel quietly surfaced within Xu Ping’s Sea of Consciousness, and his gaze fell upon the Cultivation Technique column:

[Cultivation Technique: Ten Thousand Woods Evergreen Scripture, Proficient (Divinity Transformation Chapter): 301/400]

"Just 99 more points of proficiency, and I can break through to the Minor Success Realm." Xu Ping calculated.

With his current Divinity Transformation cultivation and comprehension, this was not a number that was hard to surmount.

Now that the goal was clear, he no longer hesitated.

Xu Ping gathered away all stray thoughts, and his mind fully sank into a deep-level comprehension of the Divinity Transformation Chapter of the Ten Thousand Woods Evergreen Scripture.
