Breaking Through to the True Essence Condensation Realm, Immeasurable Radiance True Scripture

The droplet's color deepened, and the surrounding spiritual energy poured into his body without pause.

The droplet refined his True Qi, gradually transforming it into True Essence.

In a single instant!

Chen Qinglin broke through to the True Essence Condensation Realm!

All the True Qi in his body had become True Essence!

Thanks to the rich spiritual energy in the chamber, Chen Qinglin smoothly completed the process of transforming his True Qi into True Essence as he broke through to the True Essence Condensation Realm.

For ordinary Martial Artists in the secular world, breaking through to the True Essence Condensation Realm after reaching the peak of the Inner Qi Realm was rarely something they could accomplish all at once.

They needed time to convert all the True Qi in their bodies into True Essence.

This was also a transitional stage between the Inner Qi Realm and the True Essence Condensation Realm.

It was what Martial Artists outside the sects called the half-step True Essence Condensation Realm.

They had not fully reached the True Essence Condensation Realm, yet had surpassed the Inner Qi Realm.

However, this stage had nothing to do with Martial Artists from sects and aristocratic families.

Even if he had not come to the Rain Curtain Secret Realm, Qingyun Peak actually had dedicated spiritual energy chambers for his breakthrough.

But breaking through to the True Essence Condensation Realm so soon after joining the sect did not quite fit his talent, or his low-key nature.

Keeping something up his sleeve was his usual way of doing things.

He was not the sort to be excessively cautious.

But in this world, only by having enough trump cards could you live longer and spring a few surprises on your enemies!

Now that his Hidden Spirit Art was complete, unless an Old Ancestor of the Spirit Aperture Realm from Qingfeng Mountain appeared, no one could see through his cultivation.

They would only think he was an outstanding disciple in the middle stage of the Inner Qi Realm.

If he comprehended the Hidden Intent, then probably no Martial Artist in the entire Great Xuan Kingdom would be able to see through his cultivation.

Spirit Aperture Realm Martial Artists were already the pinnacle of the Great Xuan Kingdom. If there were Dharma Aspect Realm Kings, the situation would not be as it was now.

As his True Qi fully transformed into True Essence, the True Essence began coursing through his body when he broke through to the True Essence Condensation Realm, making it more suited to comprehending the world.

With every breath, spiritual energy surged into his body more fiercely, then became True Essence and continued strengthening him, forming a perfect cycle.

A day later, the spiritual energy in the chamber settled, and Chen Qinglin's figure gradually emerged.

Though he was still the same person as before, his whole being seemed more harmonious.

Feeling the fluctuations in the chamber settle, Yun Tianqing knew his disciple had completed his breakthrough.

With a thought, he appeared in the spiritual energy cultivation chamber.

Chen Qinglin opened his eyes and exhaled a sword-shaped stream of True Essence, which surged through the chamber...

"Now that you've broken through, come out!"

"Master!" Seeing Yun Tianqing, he scratched his head and spoke.

Yun Tianqing said nothing. He waved his hand, and the two vanished from the spiritual energy chamber.

A delicate boat had appeared atop Rain Lake at some point.

The hull had been forged from some kind of material. Fine drizzle pattered against it, producing a pleasant melody that echoed across the vast sky.

Abruptly...

The figures of master and disciple appeared in the cabin.

"How does it feel to have broken through to the True Essence Condensation Realm?" Yun Tianqing asked.

"The world seems more alive. It feels like my body has undergone a transformation," Chen Qinglin answered honestly, describing what he had experienced and learned.

"Well said. Only when a Martial Artist reaches the True Essence Condensation Realm can he truly see the world."

"Reaching this realm means you've truly stepped through the door to transcendent martial cultivation."

"You can sense certain changes in the world around you. At this stage, gifted Martial Artists can often seize upon the slightest change and step through the door to Intent."

"Your master only comprehended Rain Intent and Sword Intent after reaching the True Essence Condensation Realm. The power of Intent is what sets us apart from ordinary Martial Artists."

"Even at the same realm, a Martial Artist who hasn't comprehended Intent is on a completely different level from one who has. He can only stand helplessly by and let the other do as he pleases."

"Come with me..." Yun Tianqing walked out of the cabin and onto the surface of the lake.

Chen Qinglin followed him out...

"Use your Ride the Wind Slash on me. Aim it right at me," Yun Tianqing said to Chen Qinglin.

"Yes, Master." Though Chen Qinglin didn't know what his master was planning, he did as told. With his strength, he couldn't possibly hurt Yun Tianqing.

He put his full strength into the strike!

The wind rose, swift and silent!

Following the wind's path, his sword move carried powerful Sword Aura and suddenly appeared beside Yun Tianqing!

This was beyond the reach of ordinary eyes. Now that he was in the True Essence Condensation Realm, the slash was countless times more powerful than before!

Yet Yun Tianqing caught his sword between two fingers from an impossible angle, extinguishing his Sword Aura.

Gang Qi was the outward manifestation of True Essence, and it had even greater destructive power.

Yun Tianqing had casually dismantled his killing move, leaving Chen Qinglin utterly unable to imagine the might of a Martial Artist in a higher realm.

"It's not that your slash isn't powerful enough. Your master is simply too many realms above you," Yun Tianqing said.

Then he explained further:

"This slash of yours is already powerful enough to threaten an ordinary Martial Artist at the peak of the True Essence Condensation Realm."

"And the two finishing moves that follow it, especially Through Passage Wind, can even kill an ordinary Martial Artist at the peak of the True Essence Condensation Realm."

"If you comprehend Sword Intent as well, you'll be able to roam this realm unchallenged."

"The world is vast, and countless outstanding figures have emerged. Don't grow arrogant. You must understand that this place you live in is only a remote corner of the True Spirit World."

"You haven't encountered a true genius yet."

"Keep working hard!"

Yun Tianqing earnestly instructed him, not wanting Chen Qinglin to grow complacent and stand still.

"Your Origin Returning Art can still be cultivated in the True Essence Condensation Realm, but its grade is too low. Even if you master it, your cultivation will progress rather slowly."

"Your master will teach you the Immeasurable Radiance True Scripture."

"Even I never managed to master this martial art."

"As my disciple, I hope you'll restore the glory of this peerless martial art."

"Know that I never even passed this martial art down in full to my own descendants."

"Some martial arts are beyond those without sufficient talent. Even if they're taught, they won't be learned. Forcing yourself to practice them often gets you nowhere."

"Martial arts aren't better just because they're stronger. The best one is the one that suits you."

"If you didn't have such extraordinary comprehension and Genius Talent, your master wouldn't consider passing the whole thing on to you."

"Practice well. One day, look upon the flourishing True Spirit World on my behalf."

At this, Yun Tianqing seemed troubled.

The war a thousand years ago would surely happen again. If the child Qinglin had even a little more strength by then, he would be better able to protect himself.

Yun Tianqing had no intention of asking Chen Qinglin to look after his descendants.

He only wanted him to practice well and see this world for himself.

The kindness was so great that Chen Qinglin fell silent, not knowing what to say.

Looking at Yun Tianqing's hazy figure, he still couldn't help asking in a trembling voice, "Master, is there really no way for a peerless Martial Artist like you to come back to life?"

Hearing this, Yun Tianqing smiled and said,

"Returning from the dead is no easy feat. Besides, your master has been dead for a thousand years. What you see now is only my soul's will."

Chen Qinglin's eyes reddened, sorrow lingering in his heart.

"Foolish child!" Yun Tianqing said, patting his head.

"Compared with the ordinary people on the True Spirit Continent, who pass away after a century, your master lived far longer. I've seen all the splendor and beautiful sights there are to see."

"Don't grieve for me. I'm still here for now!"

"Next, I'll teach you the True Scripture. Pay attention!"

With that, Yun Tianqing bent his head and pressed a finger to Chen Qinglin's brow.

Chen Qinglin immediately felt something surge into his mind.

Only after sorting through the knowledge in his mind did he realize that this peerless martial art was actually a mid-grade Heaven Tier technique.

For now, he could only see the [Immeasurable Radiance True Scripture—True Essence Condensation Chapter]. The other chapters were sealed in his mind.

"I've passed the entire Immeasurable Radiance True Scripture on to you. The contents beyond the Origin Embracing Realm will reveal themselves when you reach the corresponding realm."

"I know your comprehension is exceptional, but cultivating those chapters ahead of time won't do you any good."

"The True Essence Condensation and Origin Embracing chapters of this martial art are Human Tier Top Grade. As for the Earth Tier Martial Art, wait until you reach the Spirit Aperture Realm before cultivating it!"

"I understand. Thank you, Master!"

"Good. Now I'll explain how to cultivate this martial art."

"The Dharma Aspect is immeasurable; those who seek to create a world and shatter the void all possess immeasurable power..."

"To shine upon the world is to stand unrivaled beneath the heavens; harbor immeasurable vastness, and keep it hidden within..."

"Forge an immeasurable sea of Qi, and unleash boundless power..."

While Chen Qinglin received Yun Tianqing's instruction, outside, Ling Ling and Xie Jingyun arrived at the entrance to the small courtyard and saw that its Formation had been activated.

Knowing he had likely gained something in martial cultivation, the two of them stood guard outside.

Xie Jingyun did not know that Chen Qinglin could still enter the Rain Curtain Secret Realm. She thought the Rain Curtain Secret Realm had disappeared.

So she stayed with Ling Ling to guard the entrance to the courtyard.

Time slowly passed, and the sky gradually darkened. Only then did the gate to the courtyard slowly open.

After receiving Yun Tianqing's teachings, Chen Qinglin left the Rain Curtain Secret Realm.

Only then did he deactivate the courtyard's Formation and open the gate again.
