You Call This Weak? New Book, Please Collect
Though there were few Qi Refinement Dao arts, there were still quite a number of them.
Lu Changsheng read quickly. Perhaps it was a talent—although he was not much good at cultivation, he was quite fast at reading.
Lu Changsheng carefully finished every Dao art book, one after another.
For offensive types, Lu Changsheng chose two sword arts.
After all, only a sword immortal truly suited his temperament.
Waving sabers and brandishing spears was rather unbecoming.
He also chose several escape arts, as well as an Essence Transformation Great Art. It burned essence blood to grant an enormous boost for a short time.
This Cultivation Method was actually an evil art, but it was highly useful at critical moments, which was why it had been collected in the Ten Thousand Books Pavilion.
Generally speaking, using this Cultivation Method meant one had already reached a desperate end. Though it was somewhat sinister, it belonged to the life-saving category; otherwise, it could not possibly have been included by the Great Luo Holy Land.
At the same time, Lu Changsheng spotted a fairly good Daoist book. It was not a Dao art, but rather a guide on how to effectively reduce the number of times a pill furnace exploded during alchemy. This was not bad. Since he had recently begun learning alchemy, he needed to study it carefully.
If he was truly unlucky one day and the pill furnace exploded, that would be troublesome.
Besides, if he were not worried about spreading himself too thin—
Lu Changsheng would have wanted to learn two more Dao arts.
He made copies of five Dao arts, along with that alchemy manual.
After making the copies, Lu Changsheng left the Ten Thousand Books Pavilion.
The disciples saw Lu Changsheng off respectfully.
Their eyes held an indescribable mixture of envy and reverence.
After leaving the Ten Thousand Books Pavilion, Lu Changsheng returned directly to the main peak.
He placed the copied versions of the Dao arts he had selected before him.
He took out the first volume.
Its name was rather strange.
"Weak Golden Sun Swordplay"
Note: Suitable for the Qi Refinement Realm, but not very powerful. Even though it is a metal-element sword art, at most it can only pierce hard stone. ——
Very good. Lu Changsheng took out a small notebook and began recording. Once he became sect master, he would demote every cultivator who looked down on Qi Refinement Realm cultivators. Of course, the first thing would be to lift the restriction forbidding flight within Great Luo Palace.
After studying it carefully once more, Lu Changsheng more or less understood the mysteries of this sword art.
It drew upon the little spiritual energy within the body, transformed it into metal-element spiritual energy, then condensed it into a flying sword—what was known as Sword Qi—and released it.
It was very straightforward and easy to understand.
Once Lu Changsheng understood, he began trying it.
He was a little excited.
His cultivation speed was so slow—perhaps, with the same Dao art, he might be a little stronger than others?
Thinking of this, Lu Changsheng grew even more excited.
Clang!
Very quickly, a pure golden Sword Qi appeared at Lu Changsheng's fingertips.
The Sword Qi was three meters long.
However, according to the Jade Scroll, he had to mobilize one-third of the spiritual power in his body for the Sword Qi to reach its maximum power.
So Lu Changsheng continued to mobilize the spiritual power within him.
The pure golden Sword Qi grew larger and larger.
In the end, it was several hundred meters long, leaving Lu Changsheng stunned.
The Dao art did not record how long the Sword Qi would become.
But wasn't several hundred meters a little exaggerated?
The hundred-meter golden Sword Qi naturally drew the attention of many people.
Especially at Jin Yang Mountain Peak, ten li away.
Wang Jin Yang was instructing his disciples in cultivation when, at that very moment, he suddenly sensed a terrifyingly sharp aura of metal.
He immediately turned his gaze toward the main peak.
Very soon, golden light flickered in his eyes, and he saw Lu Changsheng at a glance.
"Senior Brother Changsheng is cultivating the Jin Yang Sword Art?"
Wang Jin Yang was somewhat astonished. His exclamation immediately drew the curiosity of several hundred disciples, and they all turned their gazes toward it.
"Jin Yang Sword Art? Senior Brother, I've never really heard of it."
"Jin Yang Sword Art? I think I've heard of it. Isn't that a Dao art for the Qi Refinement Realm?"
"That can't be possible, can it? Why would Eldest Senior Brother study a Dao art of the Qi Refinement Realm?"
"Senior Brother Wang, are you sure that's the Jin Yang Sword Art? The Jin Yang Sword Art is only suited for Qi Refinement Realm cultivators, and for ordinary people, condensing three inches is already quite good. Eldest Senior Brother's Jin Yang Sword Art is a little terrifying."
The crowd discussed it fervently.
Golden light flickered in Wang Jin Yang's eyes once more, and then he spoke.
"I specialize in metal-element sword arts. What Eldest Senior Brother is using is indeed the Jin Yang Sword Art, and moreover..."
He stopped there.
"And moreover what, Senior Brother Wang?"
"Senior Brother Wang, what is it?"
The crowd grew even more curious.
"And moreover, when I observed with my Golden Eyes just now, Eldest Senior Brother used only the spiritual power of the Qi Refinement Realm to execute this sword art."
After saying this, even Wang Jin Yang himself found it a little hard to believe.
"What!"
"That can't be possible, right?"
"Senior Brother Wang, is that true?"
The disciples were stunned.
They had originally thought that Lu Changsheng was using the cultivation of the Nascent Soul Realm or Spirit Transformation Realm to perform the Jin Yang Sword Art, which was why it was so terrifying.
But they had never expected Wang Jin Yang to say that Lu Changsheng had merely used the cultivation of the Qi Refinement Realm to execute this Dao art.
This simply overturned everything they knew.
"There's absolutely no mistake. This is the spiritual power of the Qi Refinement Realm. You can sense it yourselves. If it were the Nascent Soul Realm or Spirit Transformation Realm, the spiritual power would be incomparably terrifying. Even from a hundred li away, that dreadful spiritual power would make one tremble all over."
"Only the spiritual power of the Qi Refinement Realm could be this gentle."
Wang Jin Yang spoke, and in the next moment, he suppressed his own realm.
Then he condensed a streak of golden Sword Qi as well.
Yet even after exhausting every ounce of strength, it was less than a meter long. Though its color was bright gold, it still could not compare to Lu Changsheng's Sword Qi.
Pure as gold, a hundred meters long.
"As expected, I'm still no match for Eldest Senior Brother."
Wang Jin Yang sighed. The Sword Qi in his hand vanished, replaced by endless emotion.
At the same time.
Atop the main peak.
When the Sword Qi had reached a full one hundred and twenty meters, Lu Changsheng finally noticed that a third of the spiritual power within his body had been depleted.
Without hesitation, Lu Changsheng shot it toward a small hill.
He was somewhat excited.
And somewhat expectant.
Rumble!
A sound like thunder erupted.
When other people fired their Sword Qi, it would only make a series of whistling sounds.
But when Lu Changsheng unleashed his Sword Qi, it carried the roar of wind, thunder, and tigers—a terrifying sound.
Its speed was swift as lightning.
Its power fierce as thunder.
The next moment.
Golden radiance filled the sky, blinding countless dog eyes.
Rumble!
Rumble!
Rumble!
Like the earth shaking and mountains quaking!
Like the heavens collapsing and the earth splitting apart!
Like the end of the world!
A small hill was instantly blasted into dust by that Jin Yang Sword Qi.
It was crushed completely.
Not even scraps remained.
This small hill was nothing much within the Great Luo Holy Land, yet it stood several hundred meters tall.
But now, with a single strike from Lu Changsheng, it had been flattened to the ground.
This power...
Was terrifying beyond measure.
Within the main peak.
Lu Changsheng was utterly dumbfounded.
After a long while.
He glanced at the Dao Art Jade Scroll on the ground.
And could not help sinking into thought.
