Chu Feng showed no courtesy, nor any sympathy for Lu Kuixi. This is what they call evil-doings leading to self-destruction. It is already merciful of the heavens that this effeminate man was not blown to death.
The five streams of colorful energy that Lu Kuixi had swallowed were all expelled.
Chu Feng was not disdainful; he absorbed and refined them all.
A stream of colorful energy is equivalent to ten years of power, and five streams amount to fifty years. Even a mosquito’s leg is still meat.
Not to mention, this was no small amount.
After absorbing Elder Wen’s power, Chu Feng had already broken through to the Middle Stage Sword Saint. He was now attempting to break into the Late Stage Sword Saint Realm.
If power levels were used to measure the heights of realms, ten years of power would make a Sword Master, a hundred years a Great Sword Master, and a thousand years a Sword Saint.
The Sword Saint Realm is divided into Early, Middle, and Late stages.
A thousand years of power would only suffice for an assault on the Early Stage Sword Saint Realm. With two thousand years of power, one could challenge the Middle Stage Sword Saint Realm. And with five thousand years of power, one could endeavor to reach the Late Stage Sword Saint Realm.
Having absorbed a massive amount of Elder Wen’s power, Chu Feng had now amassed five thousand years of power and was diligently seeking a breakthrough into the Late Stage Sword Saint Realm.
However, despite several attempts, he had not been successful.
After all, acquiring someone else’s power was akin to forcing growth; the foundation was not solid. Without establishing a robust foundation, consecutive breakthroughs would only become more difficult.
Chu Feng’s thoughts were simple, albeit aware of the significant drawbacks of such greedy haste. But the advantages were equally astonishing.
It could save Chu countless toils and financial expenses.
No need for Elixirs, no need to rent the Supreme Secret Room, one merely had to seize this opportunity. With Elder Wen’s power, a breakthrough could be achieved.
Then, after the breakthrough, there would be time to solidify the realm.
Eventually, the fifty years of power vomited by Lu Kuixi became a strong aid for Chu Feng’s breakthrough.
His Dantian experienced a qualitative breakthrough with the addition of this fifty years of power. Read complete version only at n͟o͟v͟e͟l͟f͟i͟r͟e͟.net
Nine streaks of sword light emerged within Chu Feng’s Dantian, moving like Spiritual Snakes, each one solid and substantial, like fiery chains.
The Sword Saint Realm consists of four sub-realms: Early Stage, Middle Stage, Late Stage, and the Peak.
The main symbol of the Early Stage Realm is to possess two sword lights, which then form a Sword Domain.
For the Middle Stage Realm, one needs to have more than three sword lights, and the Sword Domain becomes even more stable.
The Late Stage Realm is the most difficult.
As many sword meridians as there are, there must be an equal number of sword lights, ensuring that they are condensed and full of spirit.
Because sword lights have the characteristics of attracting and merging with each other, cultivators will usually nurture a strong sword meridian to have two independent sword lights while attempting the Sword Saint breakthrough.
The six yang, seven star, and nine yang - these three types of Special Sword Veins - relatively make the advancement to Sword Saint a bit easier. It suffices to support one of them as the King Vein.
Because their sword meridian properties are the same.
But the Five Elements Sword Veins are different; one needs to take either the Water Vein or the Fire Vein and transform it into the Yin Meridian or Yang Meridian.
This step is difficult, equivalent to remodeling the original sword meridians.
Once the remodeling is successful, with it suppressing the other four meridians, one can successfully condense four sword lights. Also, advancing to the Middle Stage Sword Saint Realm.
However, to condense the last sword light, the fifth one, is very difficult.
It’s like five people falling into a trap; due to the high walls and slick sides, none can climb out solo.
Then, one tall individual amongst them sacrifices himself to lift his companions out one by one.
Once the last four escape the trap, the towering individual remains, with no one to boost him out. He has to rely on himself.
Without a rope, his companions outside cannot pull him up either.
This is just a metaphor, but it also illustrates that the sword meridian supporting him and the tall man are in the same predicament.
For Chu Feng to take this most difficult step is extremely arduous.
A full nine sword lights, also signifying Perfection.
"F*ck, Chu Feng’s damned luck is really good, to even break through two minor realms in a row." Han Sheng noticed Chu Feng’s cultivation make another breakthrough and his face couldn’t help but change slightly.
Originally, he didn’t take Chu Feng seriously.
Because no matter how formidable Chu Feng was, with low cultivation, his strength was still limited.
The gap between them was as vast as the heavens and the earth.
However, once Chu Feng showed his earth-shattering potential, Han Sheng became somewhat restless. While the Nine-star Sword God Realm was indeed unattainable, far surpassing Chu Feng,
with Chu Feng’s current terrifying cultivation speed, it wouldn’t take a century before he would catch up to Han Sheng.
And surpass Han Sheng.
This was what truly frightened Han Sheng.
Like in the race between the tortoise and the hare, the hare loses, but that’s because the hare is lazy.
Chu Feng is not lazy, cultivating with great diligence.
"F*cking hell, this power transmission, the largest benefits were all snatched away by you, trash." Lu Kuixi, in an extremely awkward state, got up and after taking a Healing Elixir, glared at Chu Feng with a Freezing Yin gaze.
Like a resentful woman.
Among the four, he absorbed the least amount of power.
And at the last moment, he even got injured from the explosion. It could be said that he lost both his wife and his army.
Seeing his love rival Chu Feng obtain the most power, other than envy, Lu Kuixi’s heart was filled with a deep sense of unwillingness.
Si Huang had her Phoenix Eyes closed, currently in cultivation.
She had just advanced to the Supreme Sword God Realm and was using this opportunity to stabilize her realm.
Because an unstable realm could lead to a regression in cultivation.
This sort of thing happens often.
Basically, every Sword Cultivator paid special attention to consolidating their realm. Especially after a breakthrough, it was all the more important.
"We have received Elder’s lifetime skills, although only about forty percent of his power was eventually absorbed by us. The rest all dissipated. But it’s still enough to save you a considerable amount of bitter cultivation time, allowing for advancement to new realms sooner."
After dispersing his energy, Elder Wen looked even more aged, with deep wrinkles appearing on his skin.
His eyes too became lifeless.
His neck even seemed a bit unable to support his head. His voice, not only hoarse, but also weaker.
Chu Feng knew that Elder Wen wouldn’t last much longer, he was about to breathe his last.
Chu Feng could no longer restrain himself and directly knelt before Elder Wen, kowtowing three times.
"Elder Wen’s great kindness, Chu Feng will never dare to forget! If you have any descendants, I will surely take care of them for you. After your ascension, I will ensure a proper funeral for you." The words Chu Feng spoke were from the bottom of his heart.
This Elder Wen was truly great.
"Hehe...young man, you have both affection and righteousness! It’s gratifying for this old man to have transmitted my power to you." On Elder Wen’s wrinkled, aged face, a trace of gratified smile appeared.
In contrast, Han Sheng and the others were far less appreciative.
"If Elder Wen has any unfulfilled wishes, Si Huang will definitely help you fulfill them." Si Huang, unaware of when, had opened her eyes and glanced at Chu Feng kneeling before Elder Wen.
But she did not kneel.
Her pride was too great, too aloof; there is probably no one in the world that could make her kneel.
