The dark golden wall stood tall, two meters high, three meters wide, and one meter thick. It was made of a precious metal that could absorb energy and mixed with various other metals that had both hardness and toughness, specifically designed to test one's attack power.
In front of the dark golden wall, about ten meters away, Chen Zong stood still. He didn't draw his sword, but instead formed a sword with his index and middle fingers. Sword Qi revolved around his fingers, and a faint transparent luster covered them, as he casually slashed forward.
One could vaguely see a transparent Sword Qi break through the air like a crescent moon, its speed astonishing. Almost at the same time as Chen Zong's sword fingers slashed forward, the Sword Qi struck the dark golden wall.
A soft, muffled sound rang out as a crescent moon sword mark appeared on the extremely hard dark gold wall. It was half a meter long and three fingers deep. The sword mark seemed to pierce through the wall, preventing the dark gold wall from repairing itself.
"The power of the Nihility Sword Qi is faster, more subtle, and more penetrative than pure Sword Qi," Chen Zong's figure flashed and appeared in front of the dark golden wall, carefully observing it.
This Nihility Sword Qi was the power Chen Zong had condensed after cultivating the Third Transformation of the Mind Transformation. Now, he had only integrated thirty percent of his Spiritual Energy.
After mastering the second stage of the Art of Spiritual Refinement, the Divine Will Chapter, not only did his mental power increase, but his control over it had also increased by several times. He felt as if he could control it as he wished. After that, he spent three days to officially start cultivating the third stage of the Transmutation of Will.
Although it was difficult to begin cultivating, once he had begun cultivating, it was relatively easy. In just one month, Chen Zong had integrated thirty percent of his Spiritual Energy, and his Sword Qi had become Nihility Sword Qi, its power increasing significantly.
This dark golden wall was extremely hard. Attacks from Pseudo Transcendent Realm masters would at most leave a deep mark, as for attacks from peak Five Star Masters, they wouldn't cause any damage.
Simply put, this dark golden wall was used by Pseudo Transcendent Realm masters to test their attack power.
After the test, Chen Zong turned around and returned to the inn.
First, he cultivated the Third Transformation of the Mind Transformation, fusing his Spiritual Energy as much as possible to improve his Nihility Sword Qi, and then he cultivated the Third Transformation of the Soul Refinement Art: Imagery Chapter.
The so-called imagery was a phenomenon formed by the condensation of one's spiritual will and spiritual power. Some gifted people were born extraordinary and possessed imagery from birth. They were the cream of the crop, the cream of the crop. However, imagery was not all congenital. It could also be formed after birth.
However, it was also extremely difficult to form an image postnatally. One would either have a great opportunity or have a corresponding cultivation method to cultivate the image.
From this point on, one could see how extraordinary the Soul's Spiritual Energy was.
Different people would condense different images. Chen Zong didn't know what kind of image he could condense. It wasn't easy.
Even after cultivating for a month, Chen Zong had only improved his grasp of mental power by a large margin, but he was still far from condensing imagery.
Chen Zong was improving with every passing moment. This feeling was extremely wonderful.
For a cultivator, as long as they could improve themselves without side effects, it didn't matter where they went. The biggest reason why they chose to go out for life experience was that they had encountered a bottleneck and needed to go out to seek a breakthrough. For example, Chen Zong was improving every day, so he didn't have to consider going out at all.
Of course, Chen Zong wasn't in a hurry, because Sword Sect's Grand Elder Yuan Lingzi had a limited time of ten years.
Within ten years, Chen Zong had to find a way to remove the Yin Qi from Grand Elder Yuan Lingzi's body. Fortunately, less than a year had passed, so there was still some time. Chen Zong had to improve himself as much as possible during this time.
His current goal was to cultivate the Third Transformation of the Mind Transformation and create imagery in his Knowledge Sea.
As for the Completion of the Lv 10 True Martial Realm, he still didn't have any clue. Half-step Sword Momentum was also constantly comprehending, but he had reached his limit. The next step was to break through and truly master the Sword Momentum. However, the bottleneck was like a natural moat. Chen Zong didn't know when he could truly comprehend it.
Chen Zong was improving every moment. Of course, he enjoyed it very much, but those who were monitoring him became more and more unhappy. They had been monitoring Chen Zong here for a long time, but Chen Zong didn't plan to leave Ascending Sky City. They couldn't find any effective way to make Chen Zong leave Ascending Sky City.
Start with Chen Zong's closest people?
The question was, who was Chen Zong's closest people?
They couldn't find them. After some investigation, they found out about Chen Zong's origins. He came from a Sect called the Unhindered Sword Sect in the Dragondiagram Region. It was only a low rank sect and didn't mean much. However, the problem was that the Unhindered Sword Sect had already expelled Chen Zong.
This also meant that Chen Zong had nothing to do with the Unhindered Sword Sect anymore.
As for Chen Zong's parents and so on, they didn't know.
The most anxious ones were the four members of the Dragonteeth Guard. As cultivators of the Dragondiagram Imperial Family, they didn't like the feeling of being away for a few months in a foreign region.
"Damn it, does he plan to stay until next year and challenge the Ascending Sky Tower again?"
Each of them gnashed their teeth in hatred, but they couldn't do anything to Chen Zong. As for Xiahou Ba, Phantom Sword Xin Wuxing, and the others, they couldn't stay in Ascending Sky City forever. To them, it was better to go out and train than to stay in Ascending Sky City. It was a better way to improve themselves.
However, they also gave orders to inform them as soon as Chen Zong showed signs of leaving Ascending Sky City.
Cultivate, cultivate, and cultivate again.
Third Transformation of the Mind, Spiritual Force Fusion.
Forty percent!
Fifty percent!
For every ten percent of the fusion, Chen Zong would go to the dark golden wall to test his attack power.
At thirty percent, his attack power was three fingers deep. At forty percent, it was four fingers deep. At fifty percent, it was five fingers deep.
The cultivation of the second transformation of the Mind was usually more difficult as one progressed. However, the third transformation was different. It was extremely difficult to get started. However, after getting started, one's control of spiritual force would become more refined as one cultivated the third level of the Art of Spiritual Refinement, and the speed of the fusion would gradually increase.
Sixty percent!
Seventy percent!
Eighty percent!
Ninety percent!
In the blink of an eye, Chen Zong had stayed in Ascending Sky City for almost half a year. He had used up a lot of low rank spirit sources. Even so, Chen Zong felt that it was worth it.
Void Sword Force!
One hundred percent!
When all of his spiritual force was fused into the sword force, the sword force in his body was completely transformed into Void Sword Force. Chen Zong felt that his combat power had increased significantly.
In front of the dark golden wall, Chen Zong used his fingers as a sword to cut through the air. The colorless Void Sword Force arrived at an astonishing speed and left a half-meter-long sword mark that was ten fingers deep on the dark golden wall. It was as if a terrifying invisible force was going to penetrate the dark golden wall, making it difficult for the wall to repair itself.
However, the invisible penetrating force could not last long. After it disappeared, the sword mark on the dark golden wall slowly recovered.
Looking at the sword mark that was gradually disappearing, Chen Zong's eyes focused.
"I wonder what level my combat power has reached now?" Chen Zong thought to himself.
He was sure that his current combat power had far surpassed the mid-Six-star level. After mastering the Half-step Sword Force, Chen Zong's combat power could break through the mid-Six-star level and reach a higher level. Now that he had fused 100 percent of his spiritual force into the Void Sword Force, his overall combat power had increased significantly.
Late-stage Six-star?
Peak Six-star?
Or peak Six-star?
"Change of Mind has 33 changes, and I've only obtained the first three changes as the foundation," Chen Zong thought to himself. Now, he had reached the end of the cultivation of Change of Mind.
Although it was a pity that he could not obtain the cultivation method after the Change of Mind, Chen Zong knew that he could not force it.
Being able to obtain the first three transformations of the Change of Will by chance was already a great blessing. It was enough to allow his combat strength to increase significantly, allowing his foundation to surpass the vast majority of cultivators. Because of this, his future path would be much broader.
"I have a feeling that I'll be able to cultivate the third level of the Method of Spiritual Enhancement soon, and I'll be able to create an image in the sea of consciousness," Chen Zong thought to himself, "I wonder what kind of image will be born?"
Following this, Chen Zong's main focus was on cultivating the third level of the Art of Spiritual Refinement.
Time flew by. Nine days later, Chen Zong, who was cultivating in the secret room, suddenly felt a gust of wind and clouds surging in his sea of consciousness.
The rumbling sound was like thunder that rumbled endlessly. It was as if thunder was wreaking havoc between Heaven and Earth. It was as if it was going to destroy Chen Zong's sea of consciousness, causing Chen Zong to tremble with fear.
When he cultivated the third level of the Image chapter to its peak, it suddenly went out of his control and evolved on its own. Chen Zong's consciousness could only become a bystander, watching the changes in his sea of consciousness.
Extremely powerful mental power surged like wind and thunder, roaring endlessly as if it wanted to destroy everything.
Meanwhile, the mysterious sword tip in the center of his sea of consciousness was silent as if it had fallen into a deep sleep.
When the tyrannical Spiritual Power attack raged past, the mysterious sword tip seemed to have been awakened. It suddenly trembled, and a silver light spread out in an instant. Then, silver dragons appeared in the surroundings, dancing around the silver sword tip. They let out a series of vigorous roars that shook the heavens and the earth and made ghosts and gods cry.
The tyrannical mental power that surged like wind and thunder paused in an instant as if it was frozen by the silver divine light. Then, it vibrated with the silver divine light's fluctuation and became extremely regular.
The mental power began to shrink inward. The silver dragons suddenly broke away from the mysterious sword tip and circled around the mental power. As they danced, they emitted a tyrannical power that was like countless iron hammers hammering and pressing, further compressing the mental power.
It was like being tempered in a blazing furnace.
Chen Zong's consciousness could not interfere with all of this. He could only watch the changes in his sea of consciousness with his own eyes.
Inexplicably, when the mysterious sword tip was awakened and emitted a silver divine light, Chen Zong had a lot of expectations in his heart.
He was able to embark on the path of a martial artist because of the mysterious sword tip. Although he still did not know the origin of the mysterious sword tip, he was certain that it was an extremely extraordinary treasure. Chen Zong felt that it was even better than the Tower of Ascension.
