Choosing a Cultivation Technique

"Speak."

"It's someone named Yun Sheng, he's a disciple of your Divine Water Sect. We originally wanted to capture him to help us lead the way, but after he knew we were high-ranking members of the Black Lotus Society, he voluntarily told us that you were the one who reported our Black Lotus Society to the Divine Water Sect. He also brought us to your Cave Dwelling."

"Yun Sheng!"

A cold glint flashed in Lu Wangchuan's eyes.

"Where is he now?"

"He's waiting in a bush at the foot of the mountain, watched by one of my companions. I've said everything I need to say, can you give me a quick..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Wangchuan exerted force with his foot, directly breaking his spine. His internal organs couldn't withstand the pressure and burst on the spot.

"Pfft—!"

After dealing with him, Lu Wangchuan put the bodies of the few people into an empty storage bag and quickly leaped into the darkness.

In the bushes at the foot of the mountain, Yun Sheng, under the other party's supervision, was drawing a patrol map of the Divine Water Sect on a piece of torn cloth from his clothes.

"My Divine Water Sect's patrols change every so often. I just participated in a patrol two days ago, this is the latest patrol map. As long as senior follows this route, you will definitely be able to get out."

The other party narrowed his eyes and said,

"How do I know this is a real patrol map? What if you want to lure me in front of the Divine Water Sect's experts and give me a wrong map? Wouldn't I die without a burial place?"

"Senior is meticulous, and this junior is not stupid either. You helped me kill my enemy. If I fall into the hands of the sect's experts and they expose me, wouldn't I also be certain to die? I'd rather senior be able to get away."

"Good kid, you've got guts. Let me tell you a secret, my Heavenly Martial Sect is on the verge of rising, and the Divine Water Sect will inevitably be destroyed in the future! If you want to go to the Heavenly Martial Sect later, just report this old man's name."

"Hehe... Then I thank Senior Qian."

As soon as the words fell, a silver light suddenly flashed in Yun Sheng's eyes. Before he could react, Old Qian's head flew up directly, and blood sprayed all over his face from his neck.

Shuddering, Yun Sheng looked forward and instantly couldn't help but widen his pupils.

It was Lu Wangchuan!

This guy, how could he be so dishonorable, directly launching a sneak attack as soon as he came up?

"You... you're not dead?"

But he quickly reacted. If Lu Wangchuan's strength wasn't enough, he wouldn't have been able to deal with those few people and be unharmed, let alone silently come behind Old Qian and launch a sneak attack. Old Qian was a late-stage Dantian Realm existence!

This guy, he was at least Dantian Realm Peak, or even... Condensing Truth?

What a joke? How old was he?

However, now was not the time to think about this. He had to survive. Without hesitation, he immediately began to beg for mercy.

"I... I was forced by them, you can't kill me. My sister is the Peak Master of Still Water Peak, and she's also the second-ranked genius among the younger generation of the Divine Water Sect. If you kill me, she will definitely not let you go."

"You should ask if I will let her go!"

As the words accompanied Lu Wangchuan's sword strike, Yun Sheng was directly split in half on the spot, completely dead.

Lu Wangchuan never held back when he struck. Those who dared to attack him, no need for more words, kill without mercy!

He threw the bodies of those few people together as well, then turned and returned to his Cave Dwelling to continue cultivating.

Not many from the Black Lotus Society escaped. They merely released some other prisoners, which caused a considerable commotion, but under the suppression of the Divine Water Sect's experts, it quickly subsided.

The Divine Water Sect returned to its former tranquility.

Time flew by, and another half year passed in the blink of an eye.

In half a year, Lu Wangchuan's cultivation had surged again. He had now completely surpassed the middle stage of the Condensing Truth Realm, and by more than just a little. He was only one step away from the late stage!

There was no other way; the Condensing Truth Realm itself was already very powerful. To break through to the Transforming Sea stage, a significant amount of cultivation needed to be accumulated.

Reaching his current speed was already quite fast. One must know that even a genius would take several years to improve this much.

On this day, Lu Wangchuan opened his eyes. A flash of lightning flickered in his pupils, radiating brilliant light.

"As my cultivation increases, my physique becomes stronger, and my strength is constantly growing."

Using fifty percent of his strength to execute the Mountain Splitting Fist, he hammered the ground, achieving the same result as when he used one hundred percent of his strength half a year ago.

This meant his strength had doubled again.

"Now, if I use the Great Perfection Limitless Sword Dao, I should be able to exert a force of sixty thousand jin!"

Sixty thousand jin!

How terrifying was this number? The unleashed sword energy would be enough to easily tear apart a small mountain of twenty to thirty meters!

And he had only been cultivating for a little over four years in total! His progress was truly astonishingly fast.

He opened the light screen.

Name: Lu Wangchuan.

Cultivation: Condensing Truth Realm.

Blood Qi: 12171.

Cultivation Methods: Azure Emperor Longevity Art (Eighteenth Layer), Limitless Sword Dao (Thirteenth Layer), Heavenly Dipper Eight Steps (Ninth Layer).

In half a year, Lu Wangchuan used pills and cultivation methods to cultivate a total of over thirty-five thousand points of Blood Qi. Adding the previous seventeen hundred-plus points of Blood Qi, it exceeded thirty-seven thousand!

Originally, according to his plan, he should have had over forty thousand points of Blood Qi. However, he later discovered that as his cultivation increased and he consumed too many Divine Blood Pills, the effect of the pills gradually began to weaken.

That was why he had nearly ten thousand fewer points of Blood Qi.

As for the Azure Emperor Longevity Art, a forbidden-level cultivation method, he had also figured out its pattern. The limit of this cultivation method at the Great Perfection level was the eighteenth layer!

In other words, after reaching the eighteenth layer, it would no longer improve.

If an ordinary person were to cultivate the eighteenth layer of the Azure Emperor Longevity Art, it would be impossible for them to reach it in a lifetime. For those so-called sect geniuses, it might take the better part of their lives, cultivating day and night, to achieve it.

And now, he had only used one year!

His speed was astonishing.

The effect of the Great Perfection Azure Emperor Longevity Art was extremely terrifying. Not only did it increase Blood Qi by several times more than before, but it could also instantly heal injuries without any delay!

As for the increase in cultivation, it was equally rapid. When Lu Wangchuan was in the middle stage of the Condensing Truth Realm half a year ago, he estimated it would take one year and two months to break through to the Transforming Sea stage. Now, it seemed he could reach it in nine months.

Half a year had passed, which meant that within four months, he was confident he could break through to the second layer of the Celestial Human Realm—Transforming Sea!

At this moment, the voice of the Peak Master, Lin Qingxue, came from outside the Cave Dwelling.

"Lu Wangchuan."

Lu Wangchuan restrained his aura and quickly came outside the Cave Dwelling, cupping his hands in greeting towards Lin Qingxue.

"Martial Aunt Lin."

Lin Qingxue nodded.

"How has your cultivation progressed in the past six months?"

"Reporting to Martial Aunt Lin, it has increased significantly. I have already reached the late stage of the Dantian Realm."

After all, Cheng Yunxiao had given him fifty Divine Blood Pills. The pills had a boosting effect on both vital energy and spiritual energy. If there hadn't been a significant increase, it wouldn't make sense.

Lin Qingxue's eyes lit up, clearly very satisfied with Lu Wangchuan.

"Not bad, I can see you've worked hard. Come, follow me to the Library Pavilion and choose a cultivation technique."
