Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Late at night, the sky was as dark as ink.

Su Changyu stood alone on the eaves of the house, gazing quietly at the moonlight.

The wind there was so strong that he regretted coming up, but in order to maintain his demeanor of an expert, Su Changyu had to bear with it.

Everything was peaceful and the faint moonlight was cast on his body.

The scenery was beautiful and mesmerizing.

Standing on the eaves, Su Changyu quietly pondered over some things.

He couldn’t stop thinking about what happened today.

The feeling of being in the limelight was still lingering in his heart.

However, he knew that it was all an illusion.

He was still a good-for-nothing at the end of the day.

‘I can’t get Ye Ping to save me every time, can I?’

At this moment, Su Changyu couldn’t help but have a question in his mind.

‘Why am I so handsome but my aptitude is so mediocre?’

‘Why does Ye Ping have such an impressive aptitude even though his looks are average?’

‘I’m so sour about it.’

Su Changyu was extremely upset.

“Am I really not suitable for the Sword Dao?”

At this moment, Su Changyu’s heart was filled with curiosity.

“No! Su Changyu, you must not give up on yourself, you are definitely a genius in the Sword Dao. It’s just that the swordsmanship you’ve been practicing is not suitable for you. The things that suit you are the best.”

“Su Changyu, you have to believe in yourself, but don’t give up the dream of becoming the best Sword Immortal in the world.”

Standing on the eaves, Su Changyu seriously told himself that he wasn’t a good-for-nothing but because the sword technique that he learned wasn’t suitable for him.

However, although he found a reason to comfort himself with, Su Changyu was well aware that there was no bad sword technique, only incompetent Sword Dao cultivators.

At the thought of this, he somehow felt melancholic.

However, at the next moment, a breeze suddenly blew over on the Northwest street of the Qingzhou Ancient City, which blew up a thin book that was being sold at the stall at the end of the street.

At the next moment, Su Changyu was about to go back to sleep when a breeze blew the book over. It then landed in front of him.

“???”

Su Changyu was slightly stunned, and he couldn’t help but look at the green book.

Using the moonlight as a source, three words appeared in front of Su Changyu.

“Sword Nurturing Technique”

“What is this?”

Su Changyu was a little curious. He picked up the swordsmanship secret manual, which was very thin. There were only a few pages.

He turned the first page, and a few lines soon appeared in his eyes.

“Do you want to be a peerless Sword Immortal?”

“Do you want to be in the limelight?”

“Turn to the next page and you will find what you want.”

“However, before you do, you must think carefully. This method can make you the best Sword Immortal and let you be in the limelight, but this path is also the loneliest path to becoming a Sword Immortal.”

“Are you ready?”

All of a sudden, Su Changyu was stunned.

Although he subconsciously felt that this secret manual should have been made up by someone, Su Changyu was indeed tempted.

In the next moment, he turned to the second page, and new words soon appeared.

“Very good, when you are reading this, you are already qualified to be a peerless Sword Immortal. Now, turn the next page and you will master the most powerful sword technique in the world.”

The fonts were large and the words took up an entire page.

Su Changyu felt like his IQ was being insulted. It was obviously a secret manual used for fooling newbie immortal cultivators.

However, for some reason, Su Changyu couldn’t help but want to turn the next page.

“There’s no one around anyway, I’ll just read it.”

Su Changyu gritted his teeth. During normal circumstances, he would burn the secret manual right away, but somehow, he wasn’t like his usual self today.

He turned to the third page.

A new font appeared.

“Sword Nurturing Technique is the most powerful sword technique in the world. If you learn this technique, you have to fight with the best Sword Dao expert in this world, and after each victory, you can obtain the opponent’s sword intent and seal it in an ordinary sword. When you accumulate 9,999 sword intents, it can be turned into the peerless Immortal Sword.”

“By then, the sky and earth will crumble when you draw your sword. Killing immortals will be a piece of cake.”

“Caution 1: You cannot draw the sword until you have collected all 9,999 sword intents. Otherwise, you will end up losing everything.”

“Caution 2: Only if you defeat a Sword Dao expert who is stronger than you can you condense the sword intent, and your opponent must have comprehended the complete sword momentum. Otherwise, you cannot condense the sword intent.”

“Caution 3: If you draw your sword without gathering the full sword intent, your efforts will be in vain. Try not to mistakenly hurt others.”

Seeing this, Su Changyu fell silent.

He felt humiliated.

‘Damn it, if I can defeat the world’s strongest Sword Dao expert, why would I still need to practice this stupid technique?’

‘How can I fight others without drawing the sword?’

‘With my fist? Or my mouth?’

‘Damn it, secret manual writers these days are vile. How can they write such an absurd thing?’

‘They’re harming others and themselves.’

At the thought of this, Su Changyu couldn’t help but snort coldly before throwing it away.

However, thinking about it, Su Changyu turned to the next page to see what content there was. Anyway, he was bored out of his wits.

Su Changyu was stunned after doing so.

“Are you curious about how to defeat the enemy without drawing a sword?”

“Remember, true Sword Dao experts will never rely on their swords, but the swords of one’s spirit. When you encounter a Sword Dao powerhouse, you have to fantasize about defeating your opponent to obtain their sword intent.”

“So, the method of nurturing is not actual combat but an advanced mental battle. However, this is very difficult and only Sword Dao geniuses can comprehend it. If you don’t have a good aptitude, you cannot learn it.”

The content of the last page made Su Changyu freeze.

‘Spiritual combat method?’

‘That’s great.’

‘This battle method is good, it’s very suitable for me.’

‘No, this is simply customized for me.’

The more Su Changyu thought about it, the more he felt that this sword technique was suitable for him.

When facing his opponent, he could fantasize about winning the battle and then trump them in terms of mental strength. Not only would he not have to fight and kill, it wasn’t time-consuming either and he would definitely win.

‘That’s great.’

‘What a wonderful idea.’

‘But… is this useful?’

Su Changyu suddenly thought of that issue.

During the cultivation process, Su Changyu did not have any opinion, but whether it was effective or not was another thing.

However, after a while, he couldn’t help but mutter to himself in his head.

“Regardless of whether it works or not, there’s no harm in trying. If it doesn’t work, it won’t affect much since I’m a good-for-nothing in the first place.”

“If it works, I’d be reaping a huge profit.”

“Yes, yes, yes. From now on, I will cultivate this sword technique. It must be Heaven’s will that this secret manual suddenly appeared in front of me. Since that’s the case, it proves that this secret manual is at least somewhat useful.”

“Good, very good, very good. It seems that I, Su Changyu, am going to ascend.”

“Woohoo~~~”

Su Changyu was in an extremely good mood as he felt that he had found a sword technique that truly suited him.

‘Hahahaha’

At the same time, in Room No. 2 of Full River House.

Ye Ping sat cross-legged on the bed.

Beside him, there was a strange fragrance of incense wafting over.

After being on the road for more than ten days, Ye Ping didn’t have the time to cultivate at all. Now that he finally had some time to rest, Ye Ping hurriedly seized the time to digest the power of merit without hesitation.

The large amount of power of merit was converted into spiritual energy by Ye Ping.

Each power of merit was transformed into rolling spiritual energy.

The first thing he did was to consider the Torch Dragon Immortal Aperture.

He had already opened five apertures and was now aiming for ten.

A terrifying aura filled his body.

With a slight boing sound, the sixth aperture was opened.

After that, he opened the next four consecutively.

As he progressed, the amount of spiritual energy he needed also increased.

Only after consuming one-third of the power of merit did Ye Ping barely open the tenth aperture.

However, the reward was huge too.

As the ten Torch Dragon Immortal Apertures ran, terrifying spiritual energy surged into Ye Ping’s body immediately. After cultivating for an hour, Ye Ping did not break through any realm, but he had stabilized it at the tenth level of Qi Refinement.

After calculations, he realized that the cultivation speed of the ten Torch Dragon Immortal Apertures allowed him to get one power of merit a day.

Besides, once he opened the 36th Immortal Aperture, he would be able to comprehend a mystical ability. That was the greatest ability of the Torch Dragon Immortal Apertures.

After the tenth Immortal Aperture was opened, Ye Ping did not stop or waste a single second. He immediately started refining his body.

The next moment, Ye Ping began to run the Ancient Godfiend Body Tempering Technique.

Six hours later, with the help of a large amount of power of merit, Ye Ping finished tempering his body thrice.

So far, his body had been tempered five times in total.

The result was the strengthening of his body, which was now tougher than steel. In the past, a superior-grade flying sword would not be able to pierce through Ye Ping’s body, but now, even if he were to be slashed by a spiritual object, he would barely be injured, unless it was a superior-grade one.

His physique had also been strengthened greatly.

Moo.

At this moment, the faint sound of an elephant’s roar came from Ye Ping’s body. It was the sign of reaching the Greater Mastery realm of one’s physique. If he advanced further, he would be able to condense the dragon’s aura and be as strong as a dragon with a physique like that of an elephant.

Besides, Ye Ping’s spirit meridians had also been increased while his Dharmic powers were intensified. The thicker his spirit meridians, the greater the amount of spiritual energy they contained.

Although Ye Ping’s cultivation level was now at the tenth level of Qi Refinement, even a Foundation Establishment cultivator could not withstand a punch from him.

Even if they didn’t die, they would be crippled.

He had completed the cultivation of his body.

Next, it would be his realm.

Ye Ping turned the last-third of the power of merit into spiritual energy and began to break through his realm.

He continued until daybreak.

He opened his eyes.

His realm returned to the first level of Qi Refinement.

Overnight, Ye Ping completed the recasting twice and was now doing it for the fifth time.

At this moment, Ye Ping’s mental strength was perfected, and his physique was like that of an elephant while his blood energy was strong like a dragon’s.

Previously, one punch of his could blast a Foundation Establishment cultivator to death.

Now, Ye Ping would be able to kill a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator with a single punch.

However, Ye Ping soon retracted his breath and returned to his harmless appearance while his Confucian aura appeared.

A major event happened in Qingzhou Ancient City today.

To be more precise, a Sword Dao talent, who had long risen to fame, arrived in Qingzhou Ancient City today.
