Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, half a year had passed!
Over the past six months, Lu Wangchuan's cultivation had become increasingly profound, and his strength was growing day by day.
He was now eighteen years old in actual age. His body had reached 1.82 meters at seventeen and hadn't grown since, clearly having reached the limit of his original body's height.
However, the strength of his physique was increasing daily. It wasn't obvious when he was dressed, but when he took off his clothes, his body was covered in bulging muscles that exuded a powerful, explosive feeling.
Even his back had developed into a complete Ogre Back, giving him an extraordinary presence!
Early one morning, after finishing his cultivation, Lu Wangchuan let out a long breath. The air he exhaled carried a rich spiritual energy, and faint sparks of electric light flickered in his eyes.
"In half a year, my cultivation has increased by at least thirty percent!"
He clenched his fists, feeling the surging power within his body, and felt immensely gratified.
At this rate, he would be able to successfully break through to the Transforming Sea realm in at most one year and two months.
This speed was nothing short of miraculous.
One had to understand that even for a genius like Yun Mengyao, who had resources at the peak master level, it would take several years to break through to the Transforming Sea realm. Yet, he, with far fewer resources than her, could break through in less than two years combined.
As for many ordinary people, it would take at least ten years, or even decades, which went without saying.
He casually threw a punch, striking the ground. The hard ground immediately cracked in several places.
The ground in the Divine Water Sect was reinforced with formations and spiritual energy, making it harder than ordinary stone outside. The power of Lu Wangchuan's punch was no less than ten thousand jin!
"The seventh layer of the mundane technique Mountain Splitting Fist can unleash ten thousand jin of force. The thirteenth layer of the Limitless Sword Dao can unleash at least thirty thousand jin! Compared to when I first entered the Condensing Truth Realm, my strength has increased significantly."
Lu Wangchuan opened the light screen and glanced at it.
Name: Lu Wangchuan.
Cultivation: Condensing Truth Realm.
Blood Qi: 1780.
Techniques: Azure Emperor Longevity Art (Eighth Layer), Limitless Sword Dao (Thirteenth Layer, Great Perfection), Heavenly Dipper Eight Steps (Ninth Layer, Great Perfection).
In half a year, Lu Wangchuan's Blood Qi had directly increased by ten thousand points, and he had used this to raise the Azure Emperor Longevity Art to the eighth layer!
Nine thousand points were gained from cultivating techniques, and the remaining one thousand points were thanks to the Marrow Cleansing Pill and the Divine Blood Pill.
These two pills were indeed good pills, but they couldn't keep up with Lu Wangchuan's powerful cultivation.
Take the Marrow Cleansing Pill, for example. It could cleanse the marrow and wash away impurities from the body. However, Lu Wangchuan had been cultivating the Life Nurturing Art for years, constantly purifying his physique and expelling impurities every moment.
Therefore, in this regard, his body was becoming increasingly perfect, even more refined than those in the same Condensing Truth Realm. The Marrow Cleansing Pill was almost useless, which Lu Wangchuan found very regrettable.
One Marrow Cleansing Pill could be exchanged for at least two or three Divine Blood Pills, and Divine Blood Pills provided him with stronger Blood Qi.
He took out the Godslayer Sword and once again cut a deep, bone-visible wound on his palm. He circulated the Azure Emperor Longevity Art, and the wound quickly healed, taking only about three breaths, faster than before!
This would be very beneficial in his future battles.
However, Lu Wangchuan wouldn't become reckless just because of this technique.
He was only in the Condensing Truth Realm now, and the Azure Emperor Longevity Art could quickly heal injuries. What about when he became stronger? If his physical strength further increased, the effect might not be as good.
After finishing his cultivation, Lu Wangchuan walked out of his cave dwelling to attend the sect's unified lectures.
This was one of the benefits of joining a sect; having experts explain their experiences was very beneficial for martial arts cultivation.
However, Lu Wangchuan didn't attend every lecture. The lecturers were usually the peak masters of each peak, and occasionally higher-level elders. Most of the peak masters were in the Condensing Truth Realm, and Lu Wangchuan wouldn't waste his time on them. He only listened when the sect elders gave lectures.
In the past six months, he had gained a lot of knowledge. He had also subtly inquired and consulted ancient texts, quietly translating the ancient script on the treasure map from the Dust Floating Old Man.
It turned out that the ancient script on the treasure map described the array and mechanism layout of the ancient tomb of an ancient powerful being named 'Xi Feng'.
Lu Wangchuan searched through ancient texts but couldn't find the name 'Xi Feng'. For the time being, he couldn't figure out who he was, so he could only set it aside.
Arriving at the main hall plaza of the Divine Water Sect, it was already packed with people. As Lu Wangchuan arrived, Cheng Yunxiao happened to come over and immediately bowed, saying:
"Disciple greets Martial Ancestor."
Cheng Yunxiao nodded, a smile on his face.
"I heard that you've been in seclusion cultivating for the past six months, not bothering with worldly affairs?"
Lu Wangchuan nodded.
"This disciple's aptitude is shallow, so I can only compensate for my shortcomings with diligence and dare not be lazy."
"Good, good. For a martial artist, perseverance is key. Your hard work is not in vain, considering the effort your master put into sending you here. If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask your Martial Aunt Lin from Little Bamboo Peak. If even she doesn't understand, then come directly to me."
"Thank you, Martial Ancestor. It's just that Martial Ancestor is busy with official duties, and this disciple dares not disturb you casually."
"Heh heh, what's there to it? You are Xian Yuan's disciple, and now you are under my tutelage. If you have something to say, just say it, no need to be reserved. Life is short, you must not ruin your cultivation plans because you are too embarrassed to ask."
Lu Wangchuan's heart stirred, and he immediately asked:
"This disciple happens to have something I want to ask Martial Ancestor. I wonder if Martial Ancestor knows the name 'Xi Feng'."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Yunxiao's expression instantly changed drastically.
"Where did you hear that name?"
Lu Wangchuan's heart skipped a beat, vaguely sensing something unusual, but his expression remained calm.
"I just heard it occasionally. I couldn't find any trace of it when I searched through ancient texts, so I was a little curious."
Cheng Yunxiao was silent for a moment, then began to explain:
"This person, Xi Feng, is one of the Ten Great Ancient Demon Gods!
Legend has it that when our human race was first established in the Great Wilderness, our power was weak, and we were bullied by all races, almost to the point of extinction!
It was the first Great Emperor of the human race, Emperor Yu, who forcefully slew the strong individuals of all races, expelled all races, forged the Nine Cauldrons, and gathered the destiny of heaven and earth for the human race, which led to the later prosperity of the human race.
Since then, for countless tens of thousands of years, all races have been waiting for an opportunity to counterattack. Whenever they accumulate a certain amount of strength, they will attack the human race.
Over countless tens of thousands of years, including Emperor Yu, our human race has produced ten Great Emperors to defend the Great Wilderness Three Thousand Regions.
However, to become a Great Emperor, one must go through countless thousands of difficulties and dangers, life and death tribulations!
The path to becoming an emperor for every Great Emperor is paved with mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Every Great Emperor has gone through the struggle and slaughter of countless geniuses before finally becoming an emperor.
Among them, the most difficult enemy for every Great Emperor to deal with is called the Demon God of that era. They are also candidates for the Great Emperor, but they ultimately failed at the end of the imperial path.
Xi Feng is the fated enemy of the last Great Emperor of our human race ten thousand years ago! He is also the last of the Ten Great Demon Gods!"
