Foundation Establishment Realm, Sword Control Technique

Inside Chen Ze's mansion.

Having just woken up, Chen Ze suddenly felt a surge of energy erupting within his body.

The Spiritual Energy that had previously gathered in his Dantian was rapidly forming a vortex, being compressed continuously.

Slowly, it felt as if a light drizzle had begun to fall within his Dantian.

The previously gathered Spiritual Energy sprinkled down bit by bit, forming a small pool.

Is this the Foundation Establishment Realm?

The Spiritual Energy absorbed into the Dantian during the Qi Refining stage has now all transformed into liquid.

As the saying goes, gathering Qi into liquid signifies a successful Foundation Establishment.

Having figured this out, Chen Ze released his mental power, extending his Spiritual Sense outside the room.

His Spiritual Sense stretched outward, passing through the mansion and reaching the street outside, until it could advance no further after a hundred meters.

A Foundation Establishment Realm Spiritual Sense can only explore a distance of 100 meters.

Still, it is indeed far stronger than it was during the Qi Refining Realm.

It is time to practice the Sword Control Technique.

Thinking of this, Chen Ze's consciousness entered the Myriad Things Space and went straight to the Myriad Things Shop.

In the Myriad Things Shop, the Green-robed Woman stood waiting as if she had been there for a long time.

Chen Ze did not waste words; he already knew the items available for exchange in the Myriad Things Shop by heart.

Chen Ze spoke directly: "I want to exchange for a manual on the Sword Control Technique."

"Exchanging for one Sword Control Technique manual, consuming 50 Points. Confirm exchange?"

"Confirm."

On the shopping panel, his 700 Points immediately became 650.

At the same time, a book appeared before Chen Ze.

Chen Ze reached out and took the book, immediately beginning to flip through it. "Damn, how can I recognize all the characters but still not understand a thing?"

My low-grade spiritual root talent is truly pathetic; I can't even grasp a Sword Control Technique at a glance.

Chen Ze sighed. "Forget it, whatever. I'll just go to the Automated Training Room."

With a thought, Chen Ze appeared in the Automated Training Room.

He quickly equipped the Sword Control Technique and waited quietly.

Sigh, when will I ever have such comprehension? I wonder if things like talent will ever appear in the Myriad Things Shop in the future.

If they do, I will definitely exchange for a top-tier talent.

Being this pathetic right now is embarrassing; I can't even understand a cultivation manual. If people found out, I'd die of shame.

While Chen Ze was lost in these wild thoughts, he suddenly felt some information appearing in his mind.

At this moment, the panel next to the Phantom displayed: "Sword Control Technique Mastery 1/100."

Unequipping the Sword Control Technique, Chen Ze's consciousness exited the Myriad Things Space.

Chen Ze's figure appeared in the courtyard, an Azure Cloud Sword now in his hand.

Following the circulation method of the Sword Control Technique, he manipulated the Azure Cloud Sword to hover in the air.

Once the Azure Cloud Sword stabilized, Chen Ze leaped up, landing on the blade.

The Azure Cloud Sword hovered a foot off the ground. Standing on it, Chen Ze's posture was still a bit unstable, swaying left and right as he searched for his balance.

Gradually, Chen Ze grew accustomed to standing on the Azure Cloud Sword and began to manipulate it to fly slowly forward.

The speed was very slow, and for his first time, Chen Ze didn't dare to let the Azure Cloud Sword fly too high.

Just like that, slowly, Chen Ze became completely accustomed to the feeling of Sword Flight.

This is much harder than sitting on a plane. It seems my proficiency is still lacking. I wonder what the speed of this Flying Sword is like?

In Wannan City, Chen Ze had never seen anyone practicing Sword Flight. I wonder if flying is prohibited within Wannan City?

Chen Ze manipulated the Azure Cloud Sword back to its original position and jumped off. The Azure Cloud Sword remained hovering a foot above the ground.

At this moment, Zhao Ling'er walked over. "Congratulations to Master for breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm. Is Master practicing the Sword Control Technique?"

"Yes, the space here is a bit too small; it's hard to maneuver." Chen Ze, of course, would not admit that he was unskilled.

"Master could go outside the city to try it out," Zhao Ling'er suggested considerately.

"Forget it, I have never left the city, and I am not familiar with the area outside." Chen Ze waved his hands repeatedly.

He had never had any intention of leaving the city; Wannan City was safe enough, so why go out?

"However, even if I can't test it, someone else can," Chen Ze muttered to himself, storing the Azure Cloud Sword into the Myriad Things Space.

At the same time, he thought, "Zhao Yun, where have you reached?"

"Master, I've only been gone for a day, and I'm currently less than a thousand miles away from Wannan City."

"Hmm, that's quite fast, but that's not important. I just learned a Sword Control Technique, and you should know it too. The Azure Cloud Sword is in the Myriad Things Space; use it to travel."

"Yes, Master."

Zhao Yun felt a bit confused, but he still followed Chen Ze's instructions and took the Azure Cloud Sword out of the Myriad Things Space.

Zhao Yun didn't even need to think; it was as if he had known the Sword Control Technique all along. He directly manipulated the Azure Cloud Sword to hover in the air, jumped up, and stood upon it.

With a thought, Zhao Yun channeled his spiritual power into the Azure Cloud Sword and silently commanded, "Rise."

The Azure Cloud Sword slowly ascended, reaching a height of about ten meters off the ground.

Zhao Yun focused his mind again and silently commanded, "Go."

The Azure Cloud Sword began to fly forward.

However, a sudden wave of embarrassment washed over Zhao Yun. "This speed is far too slow; it's not even as fast as me running."

Although the Azure Cloud Sword was flying, its speed was sluggish to the extreme.

Back at the mansion, Chen Ze projected his consciousness onto Zhao Yun, seeing his situation with perfect clarity. He couldn't help but look embarrassed himself. "It seems the proficiency is still lacking."

Chen Ze pondered the reason for the slow speed of the Flying Sword, while Zhao Yun continued to stand on it, flying at a snail's pace. His only thought was that since Chen Ze had ordered it, he couldn't be wrong.

Noticing Zhao Yun's actions, Chen Ze sent a slightly awkward message to him. "Come down. We'll try flying again once your proficiency is higher in a few days."

"Yes."

After receiving the message, Zhao Yun leaped down from the Azure Cloud Sword and returned it to the Myriad Things Space.

"Master, how did the Flying Sword test go?" Zhao Ling'er was only a doppelganger; she couldn't see the actions of other doppelgangers like Chen Ze could.

"It went quite well." Chen Ze's expression remained perfectly calm.

"Master, the quantity of Mysterious Iron Ore from yesterday has been tallied; there are 7,500 kilograms in total."

"That's about what I expected."

Zhao Ling'er added, "However, there are a few members of the Ye Family at the Mysterious Iron Ore mine who are not very obedient."

"If they aren't obedient, just kill a few. Tell the doppelgangers not to overthink it; it doesn't matter if there are a few less people mining. Now that we are all in the Foundation Establishment Realm, the speed of mining will only get faster and faster."

"Yes, I will go and relay that now."

Zhao Ling'er went to the Myriad Things Space to send the message.

"Good thing I didn't show any weakness just now. The Sword Control Technique really needs to be strengthened; at this rate, flying is worse than not flying at all. Now that I'm in the Foundation Establishment Realm, the requirements for proficiency must have increased as well."

In the blink of an eye, a status panel appeared before Chen Ze's eyes.

Myriad Things Space: Level 2

As expected, the requirements have doubled.

After using the Myriad Things Space for such a long time, Chen Ze had basically figured out the system's patterns.

At this moment, at the gates of Wannan City, a swaying figure was stumbling into the city.
