"Peak Lord, I once had a fortuitous encounter and obtained an extraordinary secret technique. However, to master that secret technique, I need many treasures. One of them is the Wu Kong Saint Flower." Chen Zong could feel the anticipation in the Peak Lord's eyes. However, the Wu Kong Saint Flower was truly too important to him. If there was a substitute that was easier to obtain, Chen Zong was willing to give the Wu Kong Saint Flower to the Tianguang Peak Lord.
However, to him, the Wu Kong Saint Flower was irreplaceable. It was too important. It was a must for him to cultivate the second level of the Sword Body of the Godly Demon.
If he gave it away this time, then when would he be able to obtain the Wu Kong Saint Flower again? Chen Zong had no idea. It could be a few years, or it could be decades, centuries, or even millennia. At that time, he would fall behind the other peerless geniuses because he had not cultivated the second level of the Sword Body of the Godly Demon. It would be difficult for him to compete with them.
Was it selfish?
Perhaps a little. However, the Wu Kong Saint Flower was found by him and not given to him by someone else. Even though this fortuitous encounter was given to him by the Tianguang Peak Lord, he was the one who obtained the Wu Kong Saint Flower. This was an undeniable fact.
With the Wu Kong Saint Flower, the Heavenly Gilt Silver Marrow, and the Sword Way Origin, he could cultivate the second level of the Sword Body of the Godly Demon in a short period of time. Then, he could completely cultivate the second level of the Sword Body of the Godly Demon. Without changing his realm, his strength would increase exponentially. His strength would advance by leaps and bounds, and he would have a stronger foundation.
As for what he said, it was both true and false. It was not a secret technique, but a technique. However, a technique that could only be cultivated under such conditions would be even more shocking than a secret technique. Chen Zong was being too light.
"A secret technique that requires a treasure like the Wu Kong Saint Flower to cultivate." The Tianguang Peak Lord's eyes flashed. He was secretly shocked. What kind of secret technique was that?
Although curious, the Tianguang Peak Lord did not pursue the matter.
"Then, other than the Wu Kong Saint Flower, what else do you need?" the Tianguang Peak Lord asked.
He didn't covet Chen Zong's secret methods. In fact, there were many secret methods on Tianguang Peak and even on Taihao Mountain, including some powerful ones. Of course, there were also secret methods that used treasures like the Wukong Saint Flower to assist their cultivation, and some of them were even more powerful.
With his status as a peak master, it was not impossible for him to learn a secret technique of that level. There was no need for him to covet the opportunity of a junior disciple.
"Disciple has already collected all the other treasures. There are only two left." Chen Zong thought for a moment and analyzed the pros and cons. Then he said again, "Only the Heavenly Gilt Silver Marrow and the Sword Principle Origin are missing."
Upon hearing Chen Zong's words, the Tianguang Peak Lord was stunned. This secret technique seemed to be more advanced than he had imagined.
"What kind of secret technique is this?" the Tianguang Peak Lord asked curiously.
"In reply to Peak Lord, this is the secret technique to forge an acquired Saintly Body," Chen Zong thought for a moment and replied calmly.
Spiritual Body, King Body, Saintly Body, and Divine Body were all divided into innate and acquired levels. There were eight levels.
An acquired Saintly Body was better than an innate King Body, but it was not as good as an innate Saintly Body. Of course, it was still very impressive.
If Chen Zong said that he could forge an acquired Heavenly King Body, then those treasures were a bit too much and did not live up to their name. If it was an acquired Saintly Body, then it would be more appropriate.
Of course, in terms of levels, the second level of the Sword Body of God and Demon was indeed at the level of an acquired Saintly Body.
"An acquired Saintly Body." The Tianguang Peak Lord's eyes flickered. With Chen Zong's current strength, if he had an acquired Saintly Body, then his strength would definitely improve further and become more powerful. His strength would also become stronger in the future.
"Are you still missing the Heavenly Gilt Silver Marrow and the Sword Principle Origin …" While pondering, the Tianguang Peak Lord smiled. "Chen Zong, if you want to exchange for the Heavenly Gilt Silver Marrow and the Sword Principle Origin, I'm afraid you don't have enough contribution points."
"Yes." Chen Zong nodded. This was the truth.
"In that case, let's make an agreement." The Tianguang Peak Lord suddenly laughed, looking a bit sly.
…
It was no doubt shocking that someone in the fourth level had become the Sword Holding Disciple as an exception. However, this was the decision of the Tianguang Peak Lord, and no one else could interfere. After all, this was an internal matter of Tianguang Peak. The Taihao Mountain could not and would not interfere, and the Tianguang Peak Lord was the ruler of Tianguang Peak.
In any case, Chen Zong becoming the Sword Holding Disciple had caused a great commotion in Tianguang Peak. It was worth noting that Chen Zong had just become the Sword Holding Disciple not long ago. Now, he was only in the fourth level, but an exception had been made for him to become the Sword Holding Disciple. This speed of advancement was too fast.
Some people even secretly guessed that Chen Zong might be the illegitimate child of the Peak Lord who had been wandering outside many years ago.
Of course, such guesses were only made in secret. They did not dare to say it out loud, for fear of being beaten to death by the Peak Lord.
However, there were still some who had their doubts. The Peak Lord also responded by making an exception and promoting Chen Zong to the position of Sword-wielding Disciple for two reasons. The first reason was that Chen Zong was listed on the Divine Lord Ranking. He was powerful and had outstanding potential. Although there were more than two hundred Fourth Realm cultivators on the Divine Lord Ranking in Taihao Mountain, there were only two hundred of them. If they were spread out, there would not be many of them in each of the 36 Peaks and Eight Great Academies.
Among the twenty-four peaks, there were the least number of cultivators on the Divine Lord List. It was always good to have one more.
The second reason was that Chen Zong had completed the task set by the Tianguang Peak Lord. Because of these two reasons, he was promoted to the Sword Holding Disciple as an exception.
Chen Zong did not care so much because he had already obtained the Heavenly Gilt Silver Marrow and the Source of Sword Dao. In addition to the Wukong Divine Flower he had obtained from the World of the Dead, he could already practice the second level of the Sword Body of the God-Demon.
He was looking forward to it!
Chen Zong was very much looking forward to the second level of the Sword Body of the God-Demon. He wondered how much improvement it would bring to him after he mastered it.
As for how he would obtain the Heavenly Gilt Silver Marrow and the Source of Sword Dao?
It was with the help of the Tianguang Peak Lord. The Tianguang Peak Lord had used his own name to exchange for the Heavenly Gilt Silver Marrow and the Source of Sword Dao. The required contribution points had been reduced by fifty percent because of his status as a Peak Lord. However, this fifty percent still required several million contribution points.
It was not that the peak master of Tianguang didn't have any conditions; he had made an agreement with Chen Zong.
If Chen Zong could be ranked in the top three of the Divine Lord List, then the Heavenly Gilt Silver Marrow and the Source of Sword Dao would be considered a gift from the Tianguang Peak Lord to Chen Zong. If he did not do so, then within the next hundred years, Chen Zong would have to repay double the contribution points required to exchange for the Heavenly Gilt Silver Marrow and the Source of Sword Dao. That would be close to ten million contribution points.
The top three of the Divine Lord List!
This condition was definitely not low. In fact, it was very high. Although Chen Zong had once ranked first on the Divine General List, the Divine Lord List was much more valuable than the Divine General List. There were many monsters on the Divine Lord List. Even a monster like Divine Lord Samsara would not be able to easily rank in the top three.
It was definitely more difficult to rank in the top three of the Divine Lord List than it was to rank first on the Divine General List.
Therefore, in the eyes of the Tianguang Peak Lord, it would be extremely difficult for Chen Zong to rank in the top three of the Divine Lord List. Even if he had cultivated the Acquired Sacred Body, he might not be able to do so. This was because the current top three of the Divine Lord List were monsters who had mastered the Innate Divine Body.
The difference between the Acquired Sacred Body and the Innate Divine Body was simply too great. The difference was simply indescribable.
However, the Tianguang Peak Lord had made such a condition in order to pressure Chen Zong and unearth Chen Zong's potential.
In fact, in the heart of the Tianguang Peak Lord, he would be very satisfied if Chen Zong could rank in the top ten of the Divine Lord List.
After all, there was only one person in the top ten of the Divine Lord List in Taihao Mountain.
Chen Zong did not think too much about it. He would think about it after obtaining the Heavenly Gilt Silver Marrow and the Sword Principle Origin. As for the Tianguang Peak Lord's condition, he immediately agreed to it. It was not impossible for him to rank in the top three of the Divine Lord List and master the second level of the Divine Demon Sword Codex.
Moreover, even if he really could not do it, he would have to do his best to earn contribution points to repay the debt.
All in all, this was a rare opportunity. He had to seize it.
Since he had gathered all the treasures, he could begin to cultivate the second level of the Divine Demon Sword Codex.
Chen Zong was looking forward to it. After he had mastered it, he would transform the first level of Sword Principle into the second level of Sword Principle. How powerful would it be then?
When he was in the third realm, he had mastered the first level of the Divine Demon Sword Codex. His cultivation strength was already comparable to that of an ordinary fourth realm cultivator. After mastering the second level, would he be able to surpass the fourth realm and reach the level of an ordinary fifth realm cultivator?
Chen Zong took out dozens of treasures. The courtyard of a sword-bearing disciple was better than that of a disciple of the sword, and the formations were also more powerful.
Refine!
With the activation of the second level of the Divine Demon Sword Codex, the treasures were refined one after another. Their essences were extracted and integrated into Chen Zong's body. Chen Zong had already activated the Bronze Sword Body to the extreme. The Bronze Divine Patterns covered every part of his body. As he absorbed the essences of the treasures, every Bronze Divine Pattern shone brightly.
Then, Chen Zong began to absorb the Sword Principle Origin. There was no need to refine it. With Chen Zong's current ability, he was unable to refine it.
When the Sword Principle Origin was integrated into his body, the corners of Chen Zong's eyes twitched unconsciously. It was painful, very painful. It felt as if a sharp blade had pierced into his body. Furthermore, he was the one holding the sword and stabbing it into his body. The pain was simply indescribable.
However, Chen Zong had to bear with it. If he could not bear it, he would be injured by the Sword Principle Origin and fail his cultivation. If he wanted to cultivate it a second time, it would be even more difficult.
Therefore, this time, he could only succeed. Failure was not allowed.
Bear it!
He had to bear the pain brought to him by the Sword Principle Origin.
Not only that, but Chen Zong also had to refine the Heavenly Gilt Silver Marrow while bearing the pain brought to him by the Sword Principle Origin. That was definitely not a fun thing to do.
The second level of pain came. The Sword Principle Origin brought him internal pain, while the Heavenly Gilt Silver Marrow brought him external pain. The combination of internal and external pain did not cancel each other out. Instead, it intensified and became more intense. It was so intense that Chen Zong felt that he could not bear it. It was as if his entire body was starting to melt from the outside and shatter from the inside.
The last one was the Wukong Divine Flower. The function of this treasure was to mediate the conflict of all forces and condense them into one integrated force.
