Huff …
His breath turned into a gust of wind that swept through the hall and turned into a tempest, as if it wanted to tear everything apart.
Chen Zong looked inside himself and saw two king whirlpools of the earth vein within his body. They weren't in a straight line, but were slowly rotating.
The king whirlpool at the bottom was the first whirlpool of the earth vein. It was at the first level of the earth spirit realm and had been condensed to the extreme. It had also recovered, and the earth vein energy contained within was incomparably dense and pure.
A few inches up, the second whirlpool also had five whirlpools, but it was smaller than the first whirlpool. This whirlpool represented the second level of the earth spirit realm, and hadn't been condensed to the extreme.
He'd consumed all of the upper rank spirit origin pills and earth vein pills, and his cultivation had risen to the late second level of the earth spirit realm.
Without pills, his cultivation wouldn't be able to advance by leaps and bounds like before.
Chen Zong had spent most of his time in closed door cultivation training and raising his cultivation, but he hadn't given up on practicing the sword either. It was just that there wasn't much time left, and now that his cultivation had come to an end, he naturally had to put more effort into practicing the sword and comprehending it.
"I'll go ask the elders where the Clearheart Sword Cleansing Pool is." Chen Zong muttered to himself as he walked out of the Hall of Will and the Hall of Will.
The first time he'd walked out of the Hall of Will was nine months ago, and the second time was nine months later. Everything outside hadn't changed at all compared to nine months ago. The only change was Chen Zong. His cultivation had increased significantly compared to before.
Going from the early first level of the earth spirit realm to the late second level of the earth spirit realm was undoubtedly an astonishing increase. The increase in strength was also quite frightening. Chen Zong's foundation was especially solid, and was many times stronger than other cultivators. The strength that came with every increase in cultivation was even more astonishing.
"Come, let me see what level of cultivation you're at now." Elder Lu said impatiently.
Chen Zong emitted the ripples of his cultivation.
"Late second level earth spirit realm!" Elder Lu's eyes widened in shock.
It had only been nine months since Chen Zong had entered the headquarters, but his cultivation had risen from the early first level of the earth spirit realm to the late second level of the earth spirit realm. This increase was even greater than they had expected.
In addition, Chen Zong hadn't cultivated for the first half of the year, and had been comprehending and perfecting the method. In other words, it had only taken Chen Zong three months to go from the initial first level of the earth spirit realm to the late second level of the earth spirit realm.
Three months!
Thinking of this, Elder Lu couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine. This speed was too terrifying. Moreover, looking at the fluctuation of Chen Zong's breath, it was not unstable at all. Obviously, it was very solid and stable.
"Good, good, good …" Elder Lu couldn't help but laugh heartily. He was extremely excited. "Your talent has completely exceeded our expectations. I believe that in the future, you will definitely be able to cut down Maniac with your sword."
"The biggest reason why I can rise so quickly is because of those upper rank spirit origin pills and earth vein pills." Chen Zong said. This was the truth. Otherwise, with his own efforts, it would be quite good if he could only reach the late first level of the earth spirit realm.
"Pills are external forces. If you don't have enough strength, then no amount of pills will help you." Elder Lu also said.
Whether it was Chen Zong or Elder Lu's words, they were both correct. Neither of them could be omitted.
"It's a pity that the upper rank spirit origin pills and earth vein pills are very difficult to refine." Elder Lu sighed regretfully. If it weren't so difficult, then he could have supplied more to Chen Zong so that Chen Zong's cultivation could rise even faster.
"Elder, I've come this time to meditate at the Clearheart Sword Cleansing Pond." Chen Zong said.
"Alright, I'll take you there now." Elder Lu agreed without hesitation. He acted swiftly and decisively, taking Chen Zong with him.
The Clearheart Sword Cleansing Pond was an important place of the Empyrean Association. It was very well hidden and heavily guarded. Those who approached without permission were likely to be killed on the spot.
"The Clearheart Sword Cleansing Pond is a treasure that the Association Head brought back several hundred years ago." Elder Lu said as he led Chen Zong forward.
Chen Zong was even more curious about the Association Head now.
If he was related to the Heavenspan Jiandi, then he was probably someone from the Heavenspan Sword Sect, but he didn't know who he was.
"I'll find out one day." Chen Zong thought to himself.
As they passed through layers upon layers of obstacles, Chen Zong felt his blood run cold. The aura that made his hair stand on end was very shocking.
As they approached a door, Chen Zong saw a pond. The pond wasn't big, only a few meters in diameter, but it was sparkling and filled with a strange spirituality. It exuded an unparalleled charm.
"Go on, meditate." Elder Lu smiled. "I'll wait for you outside."
With that, Elder Lu stood to the side. After Chen Zong bowed to Elder Lu, he stepped through the door and approached the small pool of water.
The closer he got, the more Chen Zong could feel the unique aura. The indescribable charm wrapped around his body and slowly seeped into his body.
Step by step, all distracting thoughts disappeared with his footsteps. They were completely gone, replaced by clarity and concentration.
Suddenly, there was a flash in front of his eyes, and a tinkling sound rang in his ears. The interval between each sound was the same, and the weight of each sound was the same. It had a unique rhythm, which made Chen Zong more immersed in it.
At this time, Chen Zong had walked into the Clearheart Sword Cleansing Pond. He waded through the water and finally stood in the center of the Clearheart Sword Cleansing Pond. The pond water was sparkling and contracted from all directions, gently hitting Chen Zong's body. The increasingly mysterious aura wrapped Chen Zong from head to toe, making it difficult for Elder Lu to see Chen Zong's figure from the outside.
From the outside, Chen Zong was wrapped in the water of the Clearheart Sword Cleansing Pond, but what Chen Zong saw was different. He did not enter the pond himself, but stood not far away from the pond.
In the blink of an eye, Chen Zong saw a burly man wearing a sleeveless coarse cloth gown walking over from afar. This burly man was over two meters tall and extremely strong. His arms were as thick as a person's waist, and his muscles bulged like an iron tower or a mountain. As he walked over step by step, a vigorous and heavy aura assaulted Chen Zong's face. Chen Zong's expression changed and he almost suffocated.
Moreover, the strong and heavy aura made Chen Zong's body unsteady. He had to take a few steps back to run his cultivation method to resist. This was under the condition that the big man's aura was not directed at him.
If it was directed at him, he did not know how tyrannical it would be.
The big man acted as if he did not see Chen Zong and walked past Chen Zong. The moment he walked past him, the strong aura fluctuation suddenly increased to the extreme, making Chen Zong feel like he was being pressed by a mountain. His bones kept trembling as if they were about to break.
But this was actually just a feeling, an illusion. The big man walked to the side of the Clearheart Sword Cleansing Pond, but he did not go into the pond. The big man stopped and immediately waved his hand. A huge iron felt appeared beside the pond. The whole iron felt was black and red. Chen Zong carefully observed it. There was a hole under the huge iron felt, but he did not know what it was for.
Then, Chen Zong saw the big man take out some black things like coal and stuff them into the hole under the iron felt. With a wave of his hand, his palm turned fiery red in an instant, as if a raging fire was burning in it.
With a boom, a blazing flame suddenly appeared in the hole under the iron felt. Even though he was far away, Chen Zong could feel the terrible heat of the flame, as if it could burn everything into ashes.
But the iron felt was not affected.
Then, the big man took out a black-gold metal cube. A sledgehammer appeared in his right hand. He put the metal cube into the raging fire under the iron felt and repeatedly calcined it.
Not long after, the black-gold cube turned red. The big man waved the sledgehammer and began to pound on the iron felt.
Every time he hammered, there were sparks flying. The sparks were not disorderly, but contained a unique rhythm. It was full of charm, which made Chen Zong slightly absent-minded.
Looking at the splashing sparks, Chen Zong was suddenly in a trance. He seemed to see a peerless swordsman waving his sword and performing swordsmanship. Every spark was a sword radiance.
Every sword radiance was a move of swordsmanship. In Chen Zong's eyes, the swordsmanship seemed to be incomparably exquisite.
The sparks flew like the sword radiance breaking through the air with amazing power, piercing and shattering everything. In an instant, Chen Zong's mind burst into countless inspirations, like thousands of sparks colliding. At this moment, all the accumulated knowledge in the past was mobilized and mixed with each other at this moment.
The clanging sound, with a unique rhythm, was constantly transmitted to Chen Zong's ears.
Listening to the sound of hammering, Chen Zong became even more immersed and more insights emerged.
Outside the door, Elder Lu waited quietly as he muttered to himself, "I wonder what Chen Zong will comprehend from the Clearheart Sword Cleansing Pool this time?"
The Clearheart Sword Cleansing Pool was an extremely miraculous treasure. It was effective even for practitioners of the Profound Sky Realm. Of course, the higher the level of training, the less effective the effects would be. For example, the three elders with real power, the effects were already very small. If it were experts like the Azure Dragon Sword Sovereign, the effects would be next to nothing. As for stronger Society Heads, there would be almost no effect.
But for those of the Earth Spirit Realm, the effects of the Clearheart Sword Cleansing Pool were still quite amazing.
However, there were many effects of the Clearheart Sword Cleansing Pool. Every time one entered the pool, the results would be different. After all, there were many details. If one focused on any detail, they would be able to comprehend something or even enter a deeper level of comprehension. Different details would lead to different comprehensions.
At this very moment, Chen Zong was immersed in the splashing sparks. He was constantly comprehending the mysteries of the sparks. His own accumulation of swordsmanship was also constantly bursting forth. His past accumulation shone brightly at this moment.
As for Chen Zong himself, he didn't know what he was comprehending either. His consciousness had long since entered a mysterious state, following the unique charm and the power of the Clearheart Sword Cleansing Pool. He was naturally comprehending and continuously deducing.
