Chapter 295 Thirteen Perfections (Please continue reading)
Time flies!
In the blink of an eye, a month has passed.
During this month, Lin Yan stayed on the mountain peak, focusing solely on refining the rare treasures of heaven and earth.
The height of his Martial Dao Tree also steadily increased.
70% of the 12th level of True Qi, 80%...
90%!
Lin Yan was somewhat helpless.
All the rare treasures of heaven and earth, including those he had plundered from the Chu and Liu families, were used up, leaving only the final 10%.
"The Five Elements Return to One requires an terrifying amount of heaven and earth energy."
Five times the required amount, most people simply couldn't afford to cultivate it.
"I can only exchange it with Purple Gold."
...
...
An hour later, Lin Yan returned to the mountain peak carrying a box.
"Now... I can truly say I'm penniless."
Thinking about how he had spent all his Purple Gold to obtain this box of rare treasures, Lin Yan finally understood why some martial artists, despite their considerable strength, were so poor.
They had exhausted too much wealth in their pursuit of rapid cultivation.
After a moment of reflection, Lin Yan didn't linger and continued refining.
Five days later!
The Martial Dao Tree reached ninety-nine and a half feet!
When the Martial Dao Tree reached this height, Lin Yan consumed two more portions of rare and precious treasures, but upon discovering that his Martial Dao Tree was not growing, he immediately stopped. He
was already at the peak of the twelfth level of True Qi; consuming more would be a waste.
According to his master, after reaching the twelfth level of True Qi, one needed to refine true qi to allow true essence to continue growing, which meant entering the half-step Dharma Aspect Realm; otherwise, no matter how much energy one absorbed from heaven and earth, true essence would not increase.
"This truly confirms the saying '
to go further after reaching the hundred-foot pole,'" Lin Yan muttered to himself. This was a casual remark he made after discovering the Martial Dao Tree's advancement function.
Unexpectedly, it had come true regarding the height of the Martial Dao Tree.
To break through the hundred-foot mark, one must reach the thirteenth level of True Qi.
...
...
After bathing and changing, the ritual was complete.
Lin Yan returned to his room and placed the bottles containing the essence blood of four different exotic beasts before him.
The essence blood that had been inside the jade had all been extracted and placed in the bottles.
The caps of the four bottles were removed, releasing four distinct auras. Each aura, though different, shared a common characteristic: a fierce and malevolent energy.
Lin Yan took a deep breath and activated the Eight Desolate Dragon Elephant Technique, causing the Dragon Elephant Heart within him to beat faster.
One breath, two breaths, three breaths.
Reaching the peak of the Eight Desolate Dragon Elephant Technique, and feeling the pounding of his Dragon Elephant Heart, Lin Yan took another deep breath, picked up the first jade bottle, and drank the blood inside.
The scarlet liquid entered his throat like swallowing a lump of molten lava; the burning sensation instantly spread from his throat to his abdomen.
Then, the second bottle, the third bottle, and the fourth bottle—he enveloped these four distinct and clashing energies with his true essence, guiding them towards his heart.
Previously, he had refined and absorbed the essence blood of the Chi-turtle, but this time he was swallowing it directly.
The two... were completely different.
This time, he didn't need to refine these four kinds of essence blood; instead, he used the essence blood of the exotic beast to awaken and activate the power of the Dragon-Elephant Heart itself.
The Dragon-Elephant Heart was a treasure in itself .
Boom!
Three breaths later, the first muffled sound came from deep within his chest, as if an ancient ferocious beast had awakened and pounded inside his heart.
Lin Yan's face suddenly flushed red, and the veins on his forehead bulged. The location of the Dragon-Elephant Heart had been activated, but the twelve acupoints in his body simultaneously roared, as if a herd of beasts had been startled, instinctively rejecting this uninvited guest.
True essence was disordered, and excruciating pain surged like a tide.
True essence continuously poured out from the twelve acupoints, pounding against his heart, and then rushing throughout his body, completely losing its original order, relentlessly pounding against his heart.
Each impact was like a hammer blow to Lin Yan's heart, causing him to tremble all over and blood to well up in his throat.
At the same time, the Dragon-Elephant Heart seemed to sense the rejection of this true energy, and began to beat faster and faster, with each beat releasing a surge of energy that instantly cleansed all the true energy.
However, the twelve acupoints continued to gush forth, colliding with the heart again, and the two were engaged in a tug-of-war within Lin Yan's body.
Blood trickled from Lin Yan's lips, and his body began to tremble violently. This was the most intense pain he had endured since embarking on his cultivation journey, far surpassing the pain he had suffered during the tempering of his true essence.
However, no matter how painful it was, Lin Yan could only grit his teeth and persevere.
Giving up would not only waste the essence blood of four precious exotic beasts, but also make awakening the Dragon-Elephant Heart even more difficult next time.
Time passed slowly.
As Lin Yan's consciousness gradually blurred due to the pain, and he even felt as if his surroundings had turned into a hazy gray mist, suddenly!
A light appeared within the mist.
The light continued to advance from the fog, approaching him.
Ten zhang, nine zhang…
When the light was only inches away from him, Lin Yan heard a roar.
Like a call from ancient times, the roar dissipated the mist!
Please bookmark the only website for "Deqi Xiaoshuo": www.deqixs.org. This is the only website; other websites may be discontinued at any time. Boom! At this moment, Lin Yan 's body trembled violently, as if something deep within his chest had been shattered . The invisible shackles that had enveloped him instantly crumbled under this roar. The true energy that had been violently clashing in his twelve acupoints was now drawn by an irresistible force, flowing like rivers into the sea, pouring towards the depths of his heart.
The Dragon-Elephant Heart resumed its original beating speed, but with each beat, true energy surged in. This true energy flowed into the heart and then quickly flowed out, reaching the limbs and bones. Wherever it passed, the meridians, bones, and flesh underwent astonishing changes. Lin Yan could feel his fascia stretching, his muscles expanding, contracting, and expanding again, every inch of his flesh becoming increasingly dense and solid. It should be noted that when his true essence was tempered, his body was also tempered to its limit, yet this time, with the beating of the Dragon-Elephant Heart, it was enhanced once more. Lin Yan looked inward at his body; the originally golden Dragon-Elephant Heart had turned the color of a normal heart. However, deep within his heart, in the vortex of the thirteenth acupoint, a faint golden light could be seen. This golden light was different from true essence; it was more profound, carrying an ancient, primordial aura. Dragon-Elephant Power! As Lin Yan activated the Eight Desolate Dragon-Elephant Technique again, the thirteen acupoints within his body trembled simultaneously, reaching an unprecedented resonance. The acupoint at his heart, like the lord of the stars, occupied the center, surrounded by the twelve other acupoints, like stars orbiting the moon. The thirteenth level of True Qi, successful! Three breaths later, Lin Yan stood up, took a step, and was already three feet away, leaving a golden afterimage in his wake. Lin Yan stopped and looked back at the dissipating afterimage. This step, taken naturally without consciously activating his true essence, covered a distance of three feet. "If this world is filled with various gravitational forces and friction, then these forces are now useless to me." After the power of the dragon and elephant merged into his flesh and blood, Lin Yan could feel his body becoming lighter. However, his body hadn't actually become lighter; rather, the constraints of this world on him had weakened. With a light push, he shot out like an arrow. Lin Yan's figure didn't stop there. The Nine Strikes Technique, the Smoke-Stepping Step… especially when he expanded his domain again, merging it with the power of the dragon and elephant, the surrounding space distorted, as if unable to withstand the force. "If I were to face Wen Heng again now, I could smash him to pieces with three punches!" Lin Yan's face showed confidence, not arrogance, but the confidence born from his increased strength. "Sword, come!" With a soft shout, Lin Yan turned around, reached out, and pulled the Abyss Sword, which he had placed on the table in the courtyard, into his hand. The moment he grasped the sword, Lin Yan was stunned. The dark golden pattern on the sword seemed to awaken, the blade trembling slightly and emitting a low hum in response. Lin Yan could clearly sense a wisp of energy flowing within the sword, an energy that shared the same origin as his Dragon-Elephant Power, circulating with each beat of his heart. One beat, one flow. This feeling was wondrous; the Abyss Sword was no longer a cold weapon, but rather an extension of his body. "When I forged the Abyss Sword a second time, I incorporated a scale from a dragon-elephant beast, giving it the power of the dragon-elephant. That's why it responds to me like this now," Lin Yan pondered for a moment, then understood the reason. Although he had absorbed the Dragon-Elephant Heart before, he hadn't cultivated the Dragon-Elephant Power, which was why the Abyss Sword hadn't sensed it. Now, with the Dragon-Elephant Power flowing within him, the Abyss Sword immediately responded. Whoosh! Lin Yan's mind stirred, and he channeled his true essence into the sword. This time, the Abyss Sword's sword cry was even clearer! A golden sword light shot out, reaching a hundred feet away. Lin Yan withdrew his gaze. He had only used a single sword intent, yet it had condensed and remained a hundred feet away—that was good enough! Sheathing the Abyss Sword, Lin Yan examined his mind. The height of the Martial Dao Tree within his mind had changed. But when he clearly saw the height of the Martial Dao Tree, Lin Yan was slightly stunned, somewhat unable to believe what he was seeing. The Martial Dao Tree had reached a height of one hundred and ten feet! He had broken through to the thirteenth level of True Qi, and it had directly increased by ten feet? This was something that had never happened before when he broke through realms. In Lin Yan's initial guess, breaking through to the thirteenth level of True Qi would result in a leap in the growth of his Martial Dao Tree, perhaps by two or three feet, but he never imagined it could grow ten feet at once. After a moment of contemplation, Lin Yan focused his mind on the depths of his heart. The thirteenth acupoint in his heart rotated steadily, neither expanding nor contracting, maintaining a perfectly complete state. The other twelve acupoints in his body circled around him, taking in and exhaling true essence in turn, circulating in an orderly fashion. He tried to circulate the Eight Desolate Dragon Elephant Technique, guiding the true essence to flow through his meridians for a full cycle, but found that the thirteenth acupoint seemed to have reached its limit. No matter how Lin Yan urged it, it could no longer accommodate even a fraction of excess true essence. "Hmm?" Lin Yan's eyes narrowed. He turned and went into the house, took out a rare treasure, thought for a moment, then put it down. He then poured out a Returning Origin Pill from the medicine bottle and swallowed it. A quarter of an hour later. After refining the energy of the Returning Origin Pill, Lin Yan's face showed a thoughtful expression. "The thirteenth level of True Qi... breakthrough means perfection."
After a long pause, Lin Yan murmured softly, reaching a conclusion.
The Guiyuan Pill had no effect,
just like when he was at the peak of the twelfth level of the True Qi Realm.
"The twelfth level of the True Qi Realm is different; each level before it is a gradual accumulation, while the thirteenth level is a one-time qualitative change. Once the thirteenth acupoint is successfully opened, the entire acupoint will reach a state of perfect self-consistency, without needing to be filled until perfection like in the previous realms, or perhaps the appearance of the Dragon-Elephant Power is already equivalent to a state of perfect True Qi Realm."
Lin Yan breathed a sigh of relief. Either way, it meant he didn't need to worry about needing massive resources to reach the peak of the thirteenth level of the True Qi Realm.
To be honest, when he first entered the twelfth level of the True Qi Realm, Lin Yan wasn't so eager to search for the essence blood of exotic beasts because of this concern.
From breaking through the tenth level of the True Qi Realm to reaching the twelfth level, he had already consumed so many resources. If it were the thirteenth level, he really didn't know how he would find so much天地能量 (heaven and earth energy) for himself.
Fortunately, it proved he was right.
At the thirteenth level of the True Qi Realm, no martial arts resources were needed to continue cultivation.
"From this moment on, my True Qi Path is complete. Next comes refining my True Qi, stepping into the Half-Step Dharma Aspect realm, and beginning my assault on the Dharma Aspect realm."
Lin Yan closed his eyes, recalling the scenes of his initial martial arts training in Guangping County. Images flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern.
Along the way, he had encountered kind people who sponsored him and excellent teachers who guided him. He
had endured countless hardships.
He had fought fiercely, risked his life…
but that was another story; he felt he hadn't really done much fighting or risking his life.
Along this journey, besides his own efforts and the assistance of the Martial Dao Tree, his own caution was indispensable.
He had nipped his enemies in the bud!
He had initially thought cultivation was like climbing a mountain, reaching the summit as the pinnacle. Now he understood that climbing one mountain only revealed an even higher one, and even more beautiful scenery.
The True Qi Path had come to an end. Ahead lay the Half-Step Dharma Aspect, the Dharma Aspect realm, a vaster world. This path would not be easier than before; it would only be more difficult and dangerous.
However, Lin Yan felt no fear, only anticipation. He wanted to personally experience the allure of the Dharma Aspect Realm, what made martial artists willing to abandon worldly pleasures and dedicate their lives to its pursuit.
"However, before reaching the half-step Dharma Aspect Realm, I have one more thing to do."
Lin Yan's gaze turned towards the direction of the Sword Treasury.
With the advancement of his realm and the growth of his Martial Dao Tree, his divine soul would undoubtedly also improve.
It was time for his sword intent to break through one hundred strands. Whether he could reach one hundred and twenty strands was uncertain, but one hundred was certainly achievable.
If he could truly reach the limit of one hundred and twenty strands in one go, he could then fuse the sword pellet into one.
Only then would the Five Elements Return to One Sword Scripture be truly complete.

Chapter 296 Sword Tower (Third update, please vote)
The Sword Treasury.
Located in the central area of the Taiyi Sword Sect, adjacent to the Sword Tower.
The Sword Treasury is a three-tiered palace.
The first tier is freely accessible to disciples below the True Qi Realm. The second tier is reserved for those at the Dharma Aspect Realm. The third tier is not specified in
the Sword Sect's rulebook , but Lin Yan knows that only those at the second or even third stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm are qualified. The rulebook doesn't mention it because once one breaks through to the Dharma Aspect Realm, someone will naturally inform them. The first tier of the entire Sword Treasury palace is the most spacious. After entering, Lin Yan's gaze swept over rows of bookshelves exuding the aura of time, upon which countless bamboo slips of sword techniques were displayed. This time, Lin Yan didn't look at each bookshelf individually, but instead walked straight to a particular bookshelf. After mastering ninety sword intents, he had already exchanged for the remaining thirty sword techniques and had even begun to cultivate them. However, upon entering the Sword Arena and sensing the Devouring Sword Dao, Lin Yan did not choose to continue cultivating these thirty sword techniques to perfection. Instead, he prepared to exchange some sword techniques. To compete for the Devouring Sword Dao, he had to meet its requirements. His goal in coming to the Sword Treasury to select sword techniques was clear: to pave the way for his future competition for the Devouring Sword Dao. After a while, Lin Yan picked up a bamboo scroll titled "Devouring Yuan Sword Technique." This was a high-grade sword technique, its core being the two words "Devouring Yuan." When the sword was drawn, it could draw upon the surrounding energy of heaven and earth, causing a portion of the opponent's true essence to be quietly absorbed by the sword at the moment of impact. Although the amount absorbed in a single instance was small, it was continuous and accumulated over time. For Lin Yan, the power of the "Devouring Yuan Sword Technique" was not what he valued. The Abyss Sword itself possessed the function of devouring sword energy, but to obtain the Devouring Sword Dao, he needed to cultivate fifteen sword techniques related to devouring. "The Gluttonous Devouring Heaven Sword," "The Star Absorbing Sword Technique," "The Thirteen Forms of Eclipse," "The Mountain-Splitting Flow Sword," "The Star-Picking and Sun-Changing Sword"... Lin Yan selected twenty sword techniques one by one, and then went to register and receive the manual. After exchanging the techniques, Lin Yan walked out of the Sword Treasury Palace. As soon as he stepped out of the palace gate, Lin Yan saw that many disciples had stopped in the square outside the palace, all looking to his left.
Following their gazes, Lin Yan also looked to his left.
That was where the Sword Tower was located.
Was anyone
attempting to conquer the Sword Tower? Lin Yan's eyes narrowed slightly. In the Taiyi Sword Sect, besides exchanging points and participating in various disciple assessments, there was another way to obtain resources: conquering the Sword Tower.
After the ninth floor, each floor cleared yielded a reward.
The only limitation was that each disciple only had one chance to conquer the Sword Tower each year.
At this moment, in Lin Yan's sight, a man in blue robes hovered in mid-air, gazing at the Sword Tower. The next moment, his figure flashed, and he entered the Sword Tower. Immediately afterward, the light on the thirteenth floor of the Sword Tower illuminated.
"Senior Brother Pei is attempting the Sword Tower again."
"Last time, Senior Brother Pei stopped at the thirteenth floor. I wonder if he can reach the fourteenth floor this time."
"He should be able to. Senior Brother Pei reached the twelfth floor the year before last, the thirteenth floor last year, and the fourteenth floor this year should be no problem."
"I also think Senior Brother Pei will be fine. After all, he is a core disciple of the First Branch. Whether it's strength or talent, he is undoubtedly the best among the core disciples of the Zhengxin Hall."
Lin Yan listened to the discussions of many disciples in the square, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
He had heard of Pei Wujiu, the core disciple of the First Branch of the Zhengxin Hall
. He was very low-key throughout the Taiyi Sword Sect and was little known before becoming a core disciple of the First Branch.
After becoming a core disciple of the First Branch, he ranked third in the Zhengxin Hall core disciple competition in his first year and took first place in his second year.
After that, he was number one for five consecutive years. He was
the number one person below the Dharma Aspect level in the Zhengxin Hall, and also the recognized number one person below the Dharma Aspect level in the Taiyi Sword Sect.
As Lin Yan squinted at the Sword Tower, several more rainbows appeared and landed directly on the Sword Tower.
Pei Wujiu's attempt to break through the tower alerted the other core disciples.
Lin Yan glanced at the core disciples of the Zhengxin Hall; he only recognized three:
Jiang Ning, Su Wanqing, and Wei Xian from the Fifth Branch.
Wei Xian also saw Lin Yan below, his eyes flashing with coldness, but he quickly looked away.
Soon, it would be the day of the furnace opening; let Lin Yan be arrogant for a few more days.
"I didn't expect several core disciples to come."
"This is the influence of Senior Brother Pei. The highest record of other core disciples is currently the twelfth level. If Senior Brother Pei can pass the fourteenth level this time, he will be two levels ahead of the other core disciples. That's a huge gap in strength."
Lin Yan glanced at Jiang Ning and the others on the rainbow platform, and sure enough, he saw a look of solemnity in their eyes.
"Oh, it's so lively."
Just as everyone was staring at the Sword Tower waiting for the result, a leisurely voice rang out, and a young man flew in on a sword. Seven long swords floated above his head like an umbrella, and under his feet was a sword as big as a door.
Flying on a sword!
This was the first time Lin Yan had ever seen it.
It wasn't that he couldn't do it, but... the flying on a sword in martial arts was different from what he had imagined. In essence, it still used true essence to mobilize power.
Whether there was a sword under his feet or not made little difference. In fact, flying on a sword required constantly injecting true essence into the sword, like carrying a burden.
The man flying on the sword floated directly in the air, seemingly not caring at all about Wei Xian and the other core disciples of the Righteous Heart Hall.
Was this also a strategist?
"Isn't that Senior Brother Ji from the Chengjian Hall?"
"Umbrella Bro?"
"Shh, you dare call me 'Umbrella Bro'? Be careful, the people from Chengjian Hall will charge you 30% more forging fees next time."
Lin Yan's lips twitched as he listened to the disciples' discussions in the square.
What the hell is "Umbrella Bro"?
"Junior Brother Lin is here too?"
Please collect the only website address for Qixiaoshuo: "www.deqixs.org, the site owner only has this one website, other websites may stop updating at any time."
Just as Lin Yan was speechless, Su Wanqing on the rainbow seemed to notice Lin Yan. The rainbow landed directly in front of Lin Yan, and then her long skirt fluttered as she appeared beside him.
This scene attracted the attention of many disciples in the square. When they saw Lin Yan's face clearly, their expressions varied.
Lin Yan's face wasn't unfamiliar to the Taiyi Sword Sect, even though he had only been a member for a year.
His actions—killing Zeng Yun, seizing a senior disciple position in the Qijian Hall, and challenging Wei Xian at the sect gates—had
made him a familiar face to many disciples, even those in the Zhengxin Hall.
"Senior Sister Su,"
Lin Yan greeted with a smile. Senior Sister Su was a nice person, and more importantly, she was the young lady of the Lanjian Pavilion. He had gained a lot from the last Sword Tournament, and this person… couldn't be offended.
Seeing Lin Yan's warm smile, Su Wanqing was momentarily stunned. Lin Yan's attitude was completely different from last time.
Last time,
he had acted as if he wanted to reprimand her. For Su Wanqing, the reason she spoke up wasn't because she valued Lin Yan so much, but mainly because of Junior Sister Yin.
She was curious how Lin Yan, with his background, knew Junior Sister Yin.
If she had to choose between Pei Wujiu passing the fourteenth level and how Junior Sister Yin and Lin Yan met, she would choose the latter without hesitation.
"I noticed Junior Brother Lin seemed a bit curious about Junior Brother Ji just now?"
"Judging from everyone's discussion, this Senior Brother Ji seems to be quite famous, and I'm a little curious myself."
Lin Yan didn't hide anything and answered with a smile.
Su Wanqing smiled and said, "A few years ago, one late night, Junior Brother Ji, I don't know what he went through, suddenly shouted something in the rainy night."
"What did he say?" Lin Yan asked curiously.
"Since I have no backing, no one to hold an umbrella for me, I will use my sword as an umbrella to create a sky for my martial arts."
Lin Yan: ...
"Ever since this nickname was given to him, Junior Brother Ji simply forged seven longswords for himself, hanging them above his head to form an umbrella shape."
Su Wanqing added an explanation, and Lin Yan glanced again at the seven longswords above this umbrella-holding guy's head...
The Taiyi Sword Sect has produced some talented people.
"This Senior Brother Ji is truly extraordinary."
"Junior Brother Ji has a good temperament."
Su Wanqing smiled slightly, and Lin Yan nodded as well. This Senior Brother Ji held a high position in the Chengjian Hall and was also a half-step Dharma Aspect Realm expert. If it were someone with a bad temper, ordinary disciples wouldn't dare to discuss him like this.
Only someone with a carefree personality would be indifferent to such matters.
"Senior Brother Ji must be an extremely determined person, not caring about the opinions of others. He has his own world within the sword."
Lin Yan thought for a moment and then uttered this sentence.
Just as he finished speaking, the door panel sword under Ji Potian's feet, which had been floating in the air, whistled and fell towards them.
"Junior brother is right, that's exactly the kind of person I am."
Ji Potian looked at Lin Yan with admiration, even patting his chest and saying, "Junior brother, which branch of the Zhengxin Hall are you from? If you need to forge anything at the Chengjian Hall in the future, just mention my name, and you can enjoy an 80% discount."
"I am Lin Yan, a disciple of the Qijian Hall. Thank you, Senior Brother Ji."
Lin Yan quickly bowed. Hearing Lin Yan's words, Ji Potian's eyes darted around: "Lin Yan? That name sounds familiar. Oh right, you're the arrogant person from the Qijian Hall who killed the Zhengxin Hall disciple?"
Lin Yan: ...
"I misspoke, Junior Brother Lin, please don't be offended." Ji Potian sized up Lin Yan: "Junior Brother Lin doesn't seem like an arrogant person. It seems that someone is spreading rumors, just like me..."
Saying this, Ji Potian looked at Lin Yan sincerely: "Junior Brother Lin, I can understand you, because I have also been misunderstood, and I am still being misunderstood now. But I want to tell you something, Junior Brother Lin: rumors won't kill us, they will only make us stronger."
"Senior Brother Ji!"
Lin Yan was also moved, his face showing a look of regret for not having met sooner.
Su Wanqing, watching the two drama queens, rubbed her temples, unsure of what to say.
The Taiyi Sword Sect had produced such an unconventional disciple as Junior Brother Ji, and this Junior Brother Lin... didn't seem to be one to be trifled with either.
Ji Potian took the initiative to hug Lin Yan, and Lin Yan didn't object, but after they separated, Lin Yan's expression remained unchanged, but his heart skipped a beat .
This Senior Brother Ji's martial arts tree... something's not right!
Could it be that this Senior Brother Ji, like Junior Brother Zhao, also possesses extraordinary bones?
Just as Lin Yan was pondering this, a commotion suddenly arose beside him.
Lin Yan's gaze immediately turned towards the Sword Tower, where the fourteenth floor lit up.
"The fourteenth floor is cleared!"
"I knew Senior Brother Pei would definitely be fine."
Listening to the surrounding disciples' discussions, Lin Yan glanced at Su Wanqing and the other core disciples, noticing a hint of envy in their eyes.
Sensing Lin Yan's scrutiny, Su Wanqing looked directly at him: "Junior Brother Lin, do you know what passing the fourteenth level of the Sword Tower means?"
"I only know that the more levels you pass, the stronger you are,"
Lin Yan nodded. That was all he knew; he didn't really know the specifics of each level's significance.
"The upper-ranking disciples of the Qijian Hall usually pass the eleventh level of the Sword Tower, while our core disciples of the Zhengxin Hall pass the twelfth. To obtain the Rainbow Guide, one must pass the twelfth, thirteenth… perhaps when one is just one step away from the Dharma Aspect Realm. But the fourteenth level… in the history of the Zhengxin Hall, there have only been a hundred people who have passed it, and each one of them later obtained a Sword Dao Mark." Su
Wanqing explained slowly. Not passing the fourteenth level didn't mean one couldn't obtain a Sword Dao Mark later; some were indeed able to.
However, throughout the history of the Taiyi Sword Sect, everyone who has passed the fourteenth level has obtained a sword imprint without exception.
Lin Yan understood; passing the fourteenth level guarantees a sword imprint, which means possessing the potential of the third stage of the Dharma Aspect realm.
This is a summary of data, not a guarantee that the sect will spare no effort to cultivate someone who has passed the fourteenth level and grant them a sword imprint.
It seems that this Senior Brother Pei is indeed very strong!
"Senior Sister, is this Sword Tower challenge a test of strength?"
Hearing Lin Yan's question, Su Wanqing smiled and said, "Junior Brother Lin, do you want to try?"
"No, I'm just curious."
Lin Yan shook his head. He wasn't even at the half-step Dharma Aspect realm yet, so there was no need for him to challenge the tower.
The Sword Tower was right there, and he could only challenge it once every six months. He wasn't in a hurry to challenge it after reaching the half-step Dharma Aspect realm.
There was no need to make himself the center of attention, especially given the recent presence of a mysterious third-party force. The more low-key he was, the better.
"After the tenth floor of the Sword Tower, it's all about strength."
Ji Potian interjected, "Junior Brother Lin, a good spiritual weapon is essential for conquering the tower. Upgrade your weapon when you reach the Sword Inheritance Hall another day, and your chances of success will be much higher."
"Thank you, Senior Brother Ji,"
Lin Yan said, expressing his gratitude. Another day…
"I can pay you a visit tomorrow."
Ji Potian: …
While Ji Potian remained silent, Pei Wujiu appeared at the entrance of the Sword Tower.
Clad in blue robes, his garments fluttering in the wind, he stood there like a drawn sword, making it impossible to look directly at him.
"Congratulations, Senior Brother Pei,"
a core disciple of the Righteous Heart Hall said from the Rainbow Ridge.
"Congratulations, Senior Brother Pei, on clearing the fourteenth floor!" Wei Xian also smiled broadly.
"Hmm,"
Pei Wujiu responded, seemingly replying, yet not quite. The next moment, the Rainbow Ridge appeared beneath his feet, and he stepped into it, disappearing into the sky.
Wei Xian's expression stiffened. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, as a core disciple, he offered his congratulations, only to be completely ignored.
And yet, he couldn't retaliate against this person.
