Chapter 212: Chapter 212: Seven Revolutions Divine Body (3rd Update)
Yet, the rare eighth-grade Red Emperor Dragon Strength Pill was treated by Lu Changsheng as common body tempering material.
He was still three revolutions away from the Nine Revolutions Divine Body.
But to achieve the Seven Revolutions Divine Body, he was only two revolutions short.
Lu Changsheng went into seclusion for cultivation, soaking his entire body in the Body Refinement Elixir Pool, as his Innate Taoist Body continuously devoured the majestic power of the medicine pool.
The 27,000 points of Heavenly Cultivation returned by his disciples were also used by Lu Changsheng for Body Tempering.
The demonic Qi of Lu Changsheng's Demon Body gradually dissipated, replaced by divine radiance.
If he cultivated the Nine Revolutions Divine Demon Body Refining Skills to its highest realm, even lower-grade, and possibly even mid-grade, Immortal Artifacts wouldn't be able to harm him.
Lu Changsheng's consumption of a large number of high-grade elixir pills for body tempering was worth it.
Above Qingyun Peak, visions of gods and demons appeared in the sky.
The disciples of Mount Shu on Qingyun Peak, having grown accustomed to such sights, continued their cultivation undisturbed.
The visions of gods and demons lasted for a while.
When the visions disappeared, Lu Changsheng had refined the Seven Revolutions Divine Body.
"To cultivate the Eight Revolutions Demonic Body and the Nine Revolutions Divine Body, one needs to consume ninth-grade elixirs as body tempering elixir. The consumption of elixir pills for body tempering is truly enormous," he said.
Having refined the Seven Revolutions Divine Body, Lu Changsheng was confident enough to engage in close combat with Alliance Leader Master Chen, the head of the Martial Alliance.
If he continued to cultivate the Nine Revolutions Divine Demon Body Refining Skills, he would need to use ninth-grade elixir pills to prepare the body tempering elixir.
Lu Changsheng mainly focused on crafting two types of ninth-grade elixir pills, one being the Life and Death Reincarnation Pill and the other the Dragon Blood Returning Yuan Pill.
The Life and Death Reincarnation Pill could be obtained through rewards of Blood Essence Pills, Scarlet Blood Pills, Scarlet Blood Consolidating Essence Pills, and Phoenix Blood Resurrection Pills, while the Dragon Blood Returning Yuan Pill could be rewarded with Gathering Qi Pills, Dajuqi Pills, Earth Spirit Pills, Heavenly Spirit Pills, and Gathering Qi Golden Pills.
"Using ninth-grade elixir pills for body tempering is truly extravagant," he remarked.
Even Lu Changsheng felt that the cost of body tempering was enormous.
However, to cultivate the Nine Revolutions Divine Demon Body Refining Skills and forge his body to the level of an Immortal Artifact, Lu Changsheng did not mind consuming a batch of ninth-grade elixir pills.
Elixir Pills could be continuously earned back through disciples, while the benefits of body tempering would last a lifetime.
"I'm only two revolutions away from perfecting the Nine Revolutions Divine Demon Body Refining Skills. The Primordial Sword Scripture is only two layers away from Great Perfection. I can go to the Ten Thousand Swords Wall to further comprehend the Sword Dao," Lu Changsheng thought.
Lu Changsheng sought to quickly perfect his cultivation of the Heaven Rank technique.
Since Xia Ningxue had gained the Sword Dao Comprehension from Fairy Qingxia and the dual cultivation system had returned a large amount of Sword Dao comprehension, Lu Changsheng's progress in the practice of the sword had advanced by leaps and bounds.
The Heaven Rank, lower-grade Swordsmanship, the Primordial Sword Scripture, might be the first Heaven Rank cultivation technique to reach Great Perfection.
Mount Shu also had the Ten Thousand Swords Wall, which accelerated the comprehension of the Sword Dao.
Thus, Lu Changsheng went to Ten Thousand Swords Peak for cultivation.
At Ten Thousand Swords Peak, the Supreme Elders were all in front of the Ten Thousand Swords Wall, comprehending the Sword Dao.
With the Demon Lord not yet eliminated and three of the four Demon Sect leaders wreaking havoc, no one knew if they could be stopped the next time the Demon Lord emerged. Everyone was striving in these final moments, cultivating diligently and seeking comprehension of the Sword Dao.
Grandmaster Taixu, after returning from the Reincarnation Hall, broke the rule set by the previous Sect Leader of Mount Shu and exceptionally taught Taiqing Wuji Technique, Mount Shu's strongest Heaven Rank technique, to direct disciples like Song Wuchuan and Zhao Wuyan.
The many Supreme Elders of Mount Shu, upon seeing Lu Changsheng arrive, nodded in acknowledgment.
Lu Changsheng had made significant contributions in the destruction of the Reincarnation Hall and had thus gained the recognition of all the Mount Shu Supreme Elders.
Lu Changsheng found an open space and sat down to meditate.
Aside from the sword intent left by the Ancestral Master of Mount Shu, which Lu Changsheng was unable to comprehend, he could grasp the sword intent left by the other Sect Leaders of Mount Shu to varying extents.
Previous Sect Leaders of Mount Shu had left their sword intent on the myriad sword walls before their final tribulation.
In other words, the sword intent they left behind was from the period when they were in the Unity Realm.
With his cultivation having reached the seventh layer of the Void Refinement Realm, Lu Changsheng was still able to understand some of the sword intents from the sword marks.
Only the sword intent left by the Ancestral Master of Mount Shu at the peak of the Unity Realm continued to elude Lu Changsheng's comprehension.
Even the Sect Leader's uncle could only comprehend part of it.
Lu Changsheng guessed that only upon reaching the Unity Realm would he possibly grasp the Ancestral Master's sword intent.
Before sinking into the state of the myriad sword walls, Lu Changsheng caught a glimpse of an old handyman from Ten Thousand Swords Peak sweeping fallen leaves, occasionally conversing with the Sect Leader's uncle.
"This old handyman is definitely not ordinary."
Lu Changsheng had seen this old handyman not long ago.
The old handyman possessed not a trace of cultivation, yet over the span of a decade or two, he showed no signs of further aging.
For a mortal without cultivation, living up to a hundred years is rare, with seventy being even less common.
However, Lu Changsheng could not tell how long this old handyman had lived.
The old handyman even had the privilege to talk with Grandmaster Taiyuan and the Sect Leader's uncle.
Lu Changsheng had not refrained from asking Grandmaster Taiyuan about the old handyman's origin, but Grandmaster Taiyuan was reluctant to say much.
Lu Changsheng shook his head and focused on comprehending the Sword Dao.
The main sword intents that Lu Changsheng sought to comprehend were still those of the seventh Spirit Sword Physique, Grandmaster Tailin who was the seventh Sect Leader, and the twenty-first Sect Leader, Grandmaster Taixu.
Grandmaster Tailin was the first Spirit Sword Physique of Mount Shu and eventually achieved Great Perfection, ascending to the Immortal Realm.
Grandmaster Taixu also achieved Great Perfection of the Spirit Sword Physique and before their joint tribulation with Fairy Qingxia, the Fairy Pavilion Master of the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion, their effort fell short. However, Grandmaster Taixu's cultivation was undoubtedly high, with the sword intent left on the myriad sword walls being comparable to Grandmaster Tailin's.
Since the Spirit Sword Physique was most suitable for the Sword Dao, Lu Changsheng concentrated on comprehending the sword intent of the two figures.
Lu Changsheng delved into the world of the sword, experiencing the state left by two Unity Realm peak Sword Dao experts.
In Misty Peak, within Qingxia Ancient Cave, a figure in white as snow, carrying a longsword on the back, was observing the sword intent left by Fairy Qingxia.
Like Grandmaster Taixu, Fairy Qingxia was also of the Spirit Sword Physique, at the peak of the Unity Realm, about to undergo tribulation, when she left her sword intent in Qingxia Ancient Cave.
"Fairy Qingxia is truly an extraordinary person, ascending to the Immortal Realm a hundred thousand years ago. I wonder how she fares in the Immortal Realm after a hundred thousand years and if she still remembers Grandmaster Taixu, who failed to ascend with her?"
Xia Ningxue continually meditated on the stunning sword intent left by Fairy Qingxia on the stone wall.
Fairy Qingxia had also left behind the mnemonic verse of her own created swordsmanship.
As Xia Ningxue was comprehending the Sword Dao insights, Lu Changsheng could benefit in return, and together with his own understanding of Grandmaster Tailin and Grandmaster Taixu's sword intent, it was as if he was simultaneously comprehending the sword intents of three Sword Dao geniuses: Grandmaster Tailin, Grandmaster Taixu, and Fairy Qingxia.
Lu Changsheng's Sword Dao comprehension continued to accumulate, gathering depth and leading to sudden breakthroughs.
"This young man has completely immersed himself in the essence of the stone wall; his Sword Dao comprehension is constantly increasing."
The old handyman conversing with the Sect Leader's uncle suddenly looked over towards Lu Changsheng, only to see that without using any True Qi, an invisible Sword Qi had formed around him.
The Sect Leader's uncle exclaimed with emotion, "This young man isn't even a Spirit Sword Physique, so why does his comprehension of the Sword Dao advance at such a breakneck pace? I, Situ Kong, was once a Sword Dao genius second only to my senior brother, and it took me thousands of years of cultivation to reach today's level.
Yet he cultivates Heaven Rank swordsmanship as easily as if he were eating and drinking."
