Ten years!
This closed-door cultivation lasted for ten years. From this, one could see how much Chen Zong had gained in the Virtual God Secret Land. The other people who had entered the Virtual God Secret Land had only been in closed-door cultivation for five years at most.
Five years and ten years sounded like a difference of two times, but in reality, there was a difference of five years. The difference was unimaginable.
The Tianguang Peak Lord's eyes lit up. He looked at Chen Zong carefully from head to toe. The more he looked, the more surprised he was. This was because he could not see anything special about Chen Zong.
One had to know that he was an Emperor-level powerhouse, and not just any Emperor-level powerhouse. Previously, he could see through some of Chen Zong's facades, but now, he felt that Chen Zong was unfathomable.
It was unimaginable.
This also showed that the benefits Chen Zong had gained in the Virtual God Secret Land this time were unimaginable.
In fact, this was indeed the case. Not only had he cultivated the Thirty-three Heavens of Mind to perfection, but he had also cultivated the Heart Sutra to the fourth level, the Heart Sutra to the Heart Thousand Artistic Conceptions. Now, he could even activate the Heart Thirty Artistic Conceptions. The consumption of mental strength was equal to the recovery.
With the Heart Thirty Artistic Conceptions, Chen Zong's comprehension was even more shocking. Even his master, the Heart Dao Lord, could not reach such a level. After all, his mental strength was not as strong as Chen Zong's.
Now, not to mention the Tianguang Peak Lord, even Chen Zong himself did not know what level his abilities had reached. It seemed to be a very mysterious level. Chen Zong even felt that he could compete with a Fifth Realm Emperor-level expert.
"Come, use your strongest attack to attack me." The Tianguang Peak Lord said to Chen Zong. He wanted to know what level Chen Zong's abilities had reached.
"Okay." Chen Zong's eyes lit up. This was indeed a way to test him.
Without any pretense, the Guiyue Sword was unsheathed in a flash, bringing with it a blazing sword light. The blazing and sharp sword will also exploded in an instant. In an instant, it pierced through the air.
Skylight broke through the clouds!
This was a powerful sword style that could be mastered by the practitioners of Tianguang Peak after they had practiced the unique sword style of Tianguang Peak to the highest level. After Chen Zong had practiced it again and again, its power had increased constantly. Now, it had surpassed its original limit and reached a higher level.
The body of the sword disappeared, leaving behind a beam of extremely powerful sword light. It was so powerful that it seemed to be able to destroy everything in its path as it shot towards the Tianguang Peak Lord who was dozens of meters away.
Quick!
It was so fast that it was indescribable. The moment the sword was unsheathed, it traversed dozens of meters and charged towards the Tianguang Peak Lord.
Chen Zong did not hold back at all. He directly used 100% of his Sea-splitting Sword Energy, all of his Sword Essence, and the power of his Sword Principle to drive this sword.
Of course, Chen Zong did not use the Sword Sharpening Technique, nor did he push the Silver Sword Body to the extreme. To some extent, he was holding back.
Even so, when Chen Zong displayed this sword move, he felt that it was many times stronger than before, perhaps even more than ten times stronger.
What did that mean?
It was an unimaginable concept.
The Tianguang Peak Lord was a swordsman in the Seventh State of the Great Emperor. Chen Zong was not worried that this sword move would hurt him. In fact, it could not even break through the defense of the Tianguang Peak Lord.
As expected, the sword light was extremely fast. In the Fourth State, it was extremely fast. But in the eyes of the Tianguang Peak Lord, it was very ordinary. After all, the gap between the Fourth State and the Seventh State was too big.
The Tianguang Peak Lord raised his right hand without any change in his expression. He extended his index finger and poked lightly at the oncoming sword light.
In an instant, the sword light hit the finger of the Tianguang Peak Lord and stopped. About three breaths later, it seemed to have collapsed and dissipated into nothingness.
"This shouldn't be your most powerful sword move, right?" The Tianguang Peak Lord asked with a smile. Chen Zong nodded. If he had really displayed his most powerful sword move, it would have been the Heavenly Light Sword-Drawing Technique. This Sword Dao Divine Technique would have an astonishing improvement. After all, Sword Dao Divine Techniques could only be truly cultivated and mastered at the Sixth State. Only then would one be able to truly display amazing power. But in the Virtual Mystic Realm, Chen Zong had advanced to the Sixth State of the Forty-Eight-Leaf Black Lotus Divine Throne. Even if it was only an ordinary Sixth State, it was still at the level of an Emperor.
As an Emperor-level expert, the benefits of comprehending the Heavenly Light Sword-Drawing Technique and Finger Pointing Technique were astonishing.
"Although it's not your most powerful sword move, the power of your sword move is enough to threaten an ordinary Fifth State." The Tianguang Peak Lord was very excited.
It was undoubtedly shocking that a Fourth State cultivator could threaten a Fifth State cultivator.
The gap between the Fourth State and the Fifth State was not small. Perhaps it was not as big as the gap between the Fifth State and the Sixth State, but it was definitely not small. Since ancient times, there were too few Fourth State cultivators who could contend with a Fifth State cultivator.
However, the power of Chen Zong's sword move had already surpassed the Fourth State and was barely at the Fifth State. It could threaten a Fifth State cultivator. If it was a little stronger, it could truly step into the Fifth State.
"Top Fifth State Sword Intent, low-grade Sun Realm Secret Technique, and some of the mysteries of the Sword-Drawing Technique." The Tianguang Peak Lord was indescribably happy.
Sun Realm Secret Techniques were much more powerful than Moon Realm Secret Techniques. They could only be mastered at the Fifth State. However, Chen Zong, who was only at the Fourth State, was able to raise the Cloud-Breaking Heavenly Light to the level of a low-grade Sun Realm Secret Technique. Coupled with the sword intent at the Fifth State, its power was extremely terrifying.
If it weren't for the limitation of the Sword Dao, it would be even more terrifying.
"This is still not Chen Zong's full strength. Then, if Chen Zong uses all of his strength, he might be able to rival a Fifth State cultivator." The Tianguang Peak Lord thought to himself. With such strength, Chen Zong would be able to play a big role in the Battle of Peak Ascension.
"Chen Zong, do you know about the grudge between Tianguang Peak and Gulan Peak?" The Tianguang Peak Lord asked immediately. Chen Zong shook his head. He indeed didn't know about this. However, following the Tianguang Peak Lord's words, Chen Zong understood.
It turned out that Tianguang Peak was one of the Eight Righteous Peaks ten thousand years ago. However, Gulan Peak wasn't one of the Eight Righteous Peaks ten thousand years ago. It was only one of the twenty-four subsidiary peaks.
However, Gulan Peak initiated the Battle of Peak Ascension against Tianguang Peak. Under normal circumstances, Tianguang Peak should have won that battle.
Unexpectedly, Gu Lan Peak played some tricks and made the number one disciple in the fourth state of Tianguang Peak betray Tianguang Peak in the Battle of Peak Ascension and help Gu Lan Peak. In the end, Tianguang Peak lost the Battle of Peak Ascension.
Although Gulan Peak was one of the twenty-four subsidiary peaks at that time, it was one of the top peaks because of its extraordinary bloodline. It wasn't much weaker than Tianguang Peak.
In the end, Tianguang Peak lost the Battle of Peak Ascension. Of course, Tianguang Peak wouldn't have lost if someone hadn't betrayed them.
Since they lost, they were replaced by the Righteous Peak and were demoted to a subsidiary peak.
The resources allocated to the subsidiary peaks were naturally less than those allocated to the Righteous Peak.
The disciple who betrayed Tianguang Peak joined Gulan Peak. Now that ten thousand years had passed, he had become a powerful swordsman with a high status on Gulan Peak. He was an Emperor State cultivator in the Sixth State.
That powerful swordsman, perhaps due to his extreme guilt, would target and suppress Tianguang Peak from time to time. As a result, the conflict between the two peaks had deepened.
Of course, although the conflict had deepened, it hadn't evolved into a life and death grudge, so Taihao Mountain didn't pay too much attention to it.
For ten thousand years, Tianguang Peak had been preparing for a Battle of Peak Ascension to take back the position of the Righteous Peak.
Now, the preparations were almost complete.
Everything was ready. All that was left was to apply to the Hall of Elders of Taihao Mountain. As long as the application was approved, the Battle of Peak Ascension would begin.
Now, Chen Zong's strength was so high and powerful that he was comparable to a Fifth State cultivator in the Fourth State. He would be of great help to the Fourth State cultivators in the Battle of Peak Ascension. Maybe they would win the Fourth State cultivators' duel.
In the Battle of Peak Ascension, not only the Fourth State cultivators, but also the Fifth State, Sixth State, and even the Seventh State cultivators would participate. There were four duels in total.
Each duel was very important and related to the reputation and status of each peak.
"Chen Zong, after you go back, consolidate your foundation and do your best to improve." The Tianguang Peak Lord said to Chen Zong solemnly. Then, he took out a command medallion and handed it to Chen Zong. "This command medallion is the command medallion of the Sword Sutra Tower. You can enter the Sword Sutra Tower with this command medallion. As long as the Sword Sutra Tower has it, you can read and cultivate it."
Chen Zong was shocked when he heard this.
As long as the Sword Sutra Tower had it, he could choose to read and cultivate it. What amazing authority!
At that time, the command medallion with high authority he obtained could only be used once. Chen Zong used it to exchange for the Heavenly Light Sword-Drawing Technique. After he mastered it, he had another trump card.
He didn't expect to be able to enter the Sword Sutra Tower and choose at will. Moreover, it wasn't a one-time thing.
"Thank you, Peak Lord." Chen Zong took the command medallion.
"Go. Try to improve your strength before the Battle of Peak Ascension," the Tianguang Peak Lord said with a smile. "However, don't challenge the Divine Lord List before the Battle of Peak Ascension."
The command medallion symbolized his status as the Peak Lord. Entering the Sword Sutra Tower with this command medallion was like entering the Sword Sutra Tower himself. He could browse and choose at will without any restrictions.
This was tantamount to a great opportunity.
The Tianguang Peak Lord felt that Chen Zong was qualified to obtain such an opportunity.
Chen Zong took the command medallion and bid farewell to the Tianguang Peak Lord before heading directly to the Sword Sutra Tower. The Sword Sutra Tower had a collection of many unique skills and even other divine skills. Even if he didn't cultivate, he could read them to increase his knowledge and foundation.
As for improving his strength, Chen Zong knew that his current strength had been raised to the extreme. It was too difficult to improve further. The most direct way was to break through to the fifth state.
The Peak Master of Tianguang Peak leaped into the air with a flash of sword light, leaving Tianguang Peak for Taihao Peak.
At the Senior Statesman Hall!
The Tianguang Peak Lord entered the Senior Statesman Hall and applied for the Battle of Peak Ascension, pointing his sword at Gulan Peak.
It would take some time before the application was approved. After all, the Battle of Peak Ascension was not a trivial matter. It couldn't be decided rashly.
Even if the application was approved, the Battle of Peak Ascension wouldn't start immediately. There would be some time to prepare.
