After a tiring day, he felt like his legs weren't his own.
The entire secret room was silent.
Chen Zong didn't speak again. Elder Yuan Lingzi, Sect Leader Lin Zhonghan, and the four elders were all in shock. Their thoughts seemed to have drifted far away.
"Actually, hundreds of years ago, the Zongheng Sword Codex had more than 36 levels," Elder Yuan Lingzi suddenly said. His voice was a little erratic, as if he was reminiscing.
Chen Zong's heart skipped a beat, and he listened carefully.
"That was when our Zongheng Sword Sect was at its strongest. Unfortunately," Yuan Lingzi shook his head and sighed. "But at that time, the Zongheng Sword Codex only had 38 levels, and it was an incomplete peerless heaven-level technique. However, the 37th and 38th levels were very strict, and it wasn't recorded directly. Instead, it was taught orally, and very few people were able to learn it. Unfortunately, when the Sect suffered a great calamity, there were many casualties and heavy losses, causing the 37th and 38th levels to be lost."
"I didn't expect that one day, a disciple of our sect would be able to complete the Zongheng Sword Codex and make it a true peerless heaven-level technique." Yuan Lingzi was very emotional.
Of course, they still had a little doubt in their hearts.
A peerless heaven-level technique was too rare, and it was very profound. The Zongheng Sword Sect had tried to complete the Zongheng Sword Codex, but unfortunately, no one had been able to do it.
Because of this, they knew the difficulty.
Chen Zong had done it, and it was complete. It was doubtful.
After all, Chen Zong was too young, and his cultivation wasn't high enough.
But no matter what, everyone was very eager to complete the Zongheng Sword Codex. Although it was useless to the Extreme Mortal Realm, it was of great significance to the Sect.
So, they all looked at Chen Zong eagerly.
"Elder, Sect Leader, and four elders, since I've said this, I plan to give the last four levels of the Zongheng Sword Codex and the Zongheng Sword Codex to the Sect." Chen Zong smiled. "But because it's completed according to my own situation, if others cultivate it, they'll have to think about it themselves."
Hearing Chen Zong's words, Yuan Lingzi, Lin Zhonghan, and the four elders suddenly fell into great happiness and excitement. As for the completion according to his own situation, that was normal.
"Alright, alright, alright." Yuan Lingzi trembled. He was very clear about the influence of a peerless heaven class martial art technique on the Sect. If he could obtain a complete peerless heaven class martial art technique, he would have even greater potential to dominate the sect in the future.
First Elder quickly took out a pen and paper and handed them to Chen Zong. After receiving them, Chen Zong wrote down the last four levels of the Zongheng Skill and the last four moves of the Zongheng Sword Art.
Yuan Lingzi couldn't wait to watch from the side. The more he watched, the more excited he became.
After that, Sect Master Lin Zhonghan and the four Elders looked at it one after another. Each of them was so excited that they laughed foolishly.
For an Ultimate Mortal Stage warrior to look so silly and happy was indeed a rare sight.
"Good, good, good!"
"Chen Zong, you've made great contributions to the Sword Sect. You can ask for anything, even if you want the position of Sect Master." Lin Zhonghan spoke with a decisiveness that could sever nails and chop iron. The four elders were stunned, but no one raised any objections.
Such a peerless heaven-tier Reigning Sword Codex was indeed a huge contribution to the Reigning Sword Sect. It was enough to become one of the pillars that the Reigning Sword Sect could rely on to rise again.
"Sect Master, you're exaggerating." Chen Zong said seriously, "I don't have the ability to manage a Sect well. Moreover, I'm a disciple of the Sword Sect and the Sword Son of the Sword Sect. It's only right for me to contribute to the Sword Sect as much as I can."
"Hahahaha." Whether it was the Founding Elders, the Sect Master, or the four Elders, they all laughed heartily. They were very happy.
They felt that accepting Chen Zong into the Sect and focusing on training him was the best decision they'd ever made.
However, even if Chen Zong didn't ask for it, the Sect couldn't just take away Chen Zong's perfected cultivation method and martial arts for free.
"Chen Zong, what's your cultivation now?" Yuan Lingzi asked.
Chen Zong's aura was restrained, so it was usually difficult to see his cultivation level. As a trace of Chen Zong's aura spread out, the Founding Elders, the Sect Master, and the Elders were all shocked.
The peak of Lv 7 Genuine Martial Realm!
Before entering the Heavenly Cloud Secret Land, Chen Zong's cultivation was at the early stage of Lv 7 Genuine Martial Realm. It was indeed amazing that he had made such an obvious improvement in less than a month in the Heavenly Cloud Secret Land.
"With your cultivation level, I'm afraid your cultivation level is your biggest shortcoming. From now on, you should cultivate well. The Sect will do its best to help you improve your cultivation," Yuan Lingzi said solemnly.
Chen Zong naturally had no objection to this. As for the iron plate, Chen Zong thought about it and didn't give it to the Sect in the end. Perhaps it would come in handy in the future.
After the conversation in the secret room ended, Chen Zong also left. The Founding Elders, the Sect Master, and the four Elders stayed in the secret room and kept studying the last four levels of the Sword Codex.
The more they studied, the more surprised they were. It was perfect, too perfect. With their cultivation level and accumulation, they couldn't find any flaws at all.
After returning to the Black Bamboo Residence, Chen Zong didn't stop for a moment and continued to cultivate.
As the Founding Elder Yuan Lingzi said, his cultivation level was his shortcoming. It was the biggest limitation for him to improve his strength.
For example, a wooden barrel was made of wooden planks. Each plank represented one aspect, and cultivation level was one of them.
However, the improvement of cultivation level didn't rely on comprehension, but on accumulation. Unless he could get some treasure, he could only rely on hard work.
"At least, I have to improve my cultivation to Lv 8 Genuine Martial Realm first," Chen Zong thought.
In the Heavenly Cloud Secret Land, Chen Zong had seen more powerful young geniuses, such as Underworld Raven and Long Xinchen.
Perhaps it could be said that both Underworld Raven and Long Xinchen were older than him by at least five years. The environment in which they began to cultivate was not something he could compare with.
However, these were all excuses. In the world of martial artists, there was only one thing that mattered. No matter how bad or difficult your process was, no one would pay attention to it. It was nothing more than an embellishment after achieving great accomplishments, making people even more amazed. If you didn't achieve anything, then you would fade into the crowd and become insignificant.
Moreover, he was in the same generation as these geniuses. He was destined to compete with them.
Looking for excuses was the behavior of the weak.
Training hard was the only way.
The next day, the Founding Elder Yuan Lingzi quietly left the Sect.
As the Founding Elder of the Sect, he was usually in a state of seclusion and guarding the Sect. If others knew his whereabouts, it might lead to an ambush from other Sects.
Time flew, and a month had passed.
After a period of hard work, Chen Zong's cultivation had improved to the limit of Lv 7 Genuine Martial Realm. However, there was still some distance to break through to Lv 8.
Yuan Lingzi returned and went straight to Black Bamboo Residence.
"Chen Zong, here are ten Lianzhen Elixirs. Take them one by one." The Founding Elder Yuan Lingzi was exhausted. He took out a jade bottle and handed it to Chen Zong.
Lianzhen Elixirs were suitable for Genuine Martial Realm martial artists, especially those in the late stage of the Genuine Martial Realm. They were very precious.
Chen Zong was very surprised after receiving the jade bottle. Looking at the Founding Elder's exhausted appearance, he knew that it would not be easy to obtain these ten Lianzhen Elixirs.
The difficulty of obtaining them was evident from the fact that the Founding Elder was in such a state.
"Thank you, Founding Elder." Chen Zong bowed solemnly.
"You deserve it. It's nothing compared to your contribution to the Sword Sect," Yuan Lingzi said with a smile. It was indeed not easy to obtain these ten Lianzhen Elixirs. They were very precious, but there was still a big gap between them and the last four levels of the Sword Codex of the Unhindered.
"Cultivate well and try your best to improve your cultivation." The Founding Elder instructed. His figure flashed and he left Black Bamboo Residence.
Chen Zong contributed the last four levels of the Sword Codex of the Sword Sect. He did not give the Chaotic Heaven Great True Power. After all, he had obtained it after killing Yin Wuya. If the Wanluo Sect found out, it would be a huge problem.
Therefore, it was best to keep the Chaotic Heaven Great True Power for himself before he could fight against the Wanluo Sect.
He opened the bottle and poured out a Lianzhen Elixir. The golden elixir emitted an intoxicating medicinal fragrance. Chen Zong's pure True Power began to circulate rapidly.
Take it!
He used his cultivation method to refine it and break through the eighth Genuine Meridian.
A Lianzhen Elixir contained a lot of power. Chen Zong's accumulation was also very strong. With the combination, the eighth Genuine Meridian was continuously opened.
The moment the eighth Genuine Meridian was opened, a strong aura suddenly blew out from Chen Zong's body, stirring up a cloud of dust.
The early stage of Lv 8 Genuine Martial Realm!
Then the path of the Art of Unhindered changed.
The 33rd level!
After circulating the 33rd level of the Art of Unhindered nine times, his cultivation was completely stabilized. Chen Zong took out the second Lianzhen Elixir and took it.
It was more difficult to improve the cultivation of Lv 8 Genuine Martial Realm than Lv 7 Genuine Martial Realm. Although the Lianzhen Elixir was powerful, Chen Zong's True Power was extremely pure. After completely refining one Lianzhen Elixir, Chen Zong's cultivation did not improve much.
He was able to break through with one Lianzhen Elixir because Chen Zong's accumulation had reached the limit.
Refining the third Lianzhen Elixir!
Refining the fourth Lianzhen Elixir!
Refining the fifth Lianzhen Elixir!
Finally, Chen Zong's aura became stronger again.
Middle-stage Lv 8 Genuine Martial Realm!
Thirty-fourth level of the Art of Unhindered!
After refining the remaining five Lianzhen Elixirs, his cultivation had reached the peak of Middle-stage Lv 8 Genuine Martial Realm. He was one step away from breaking through to Late-stage Lv 8 Genuine Martial Realm. However, Chen Zong estimated that he would need at least two more Lianzhen Elixirs.
Without the help of Lianzhen Elixirs, it would take him a month to cultivate on his own.
After consolidating his cultivation, Chen Zong stood up, drew out his sword, and started practicing the Art of Unhindered Swordsmanship.
He practiced it over and over again. However, after ten times, he had completely mastered the 33rd and 34th moves of the Art of Unhindered Swordsmanship.
"Now my combat strength should have surpassed the early four-star level." Chen Zong thought to himself. Perhaps, it was not that simple. It was very likely that he would not be inferior to any Middle-stage four-star level.
His cultivation was at the peak of Middle-stage Lv 8 Genuine Martial Realm, and his combat strength was estimated to be at the Middle-stage four-star level. Chen Zong was not even 30 years old. He was undoubtedly at the level of the Five Heavenly Sons, and he had even more potential.
"I have one month to improve my cultivation to Late-stage Lv 8 Genuine Martial Realm, and then I will go out to gain experience." Chen Zong thought to himself. After a short rest, he immersed himself in cultivation again. There was no time to delay.
