Chapter 57 (continued)

Shen Duheng agreed, "I'll take a look."

Although the Dantian Small World is Shan Heyuan's Dantian, in essence, it is an alternate dimension and cannot be considered part of his body.

This is only related to his body.

He can sense what Shen Duheng is doing inside, but not through touch.

He didn't feel uncomfortable at all about Shen Duheng visiting inside.

Shan Heyuan opened his Dantian Small World to Shen Duheng and chatted with him using his Divine Sense: "If we're talking about where the rules are most complete in the Dantian Small World, it would be the Golden Core. If you're interested, you can take a look at the Golden Core."

Shen Duheng looked up at the Golden Core in the sky. "Can the Golden Core be moved down?"

"Sure, but I need to control the Pu Core Fire to prevent it from getting too close to the Spirit Plant and scorching them."

Shan Heyuan spoke, he instructed the Golden Core to descend.

The newly formed Golden Core is relatively small, but as the cultivation level increases, the size of the Golden Core begins to expand. Now it is almost at the end of Core Formation Golden Core formation stage, and its size is almost the size of a football. It is quite noticeable when it descends.

There was still a shadow inside the Golden Core, and a human shape could be vaguely discerned.

That's because the Golden Core is transforming into an Infant.

Once his cultivation level improves and his Golden Core successfully transforms into an Infant, he will be able to officially enter the Nascent Soul Realm.

Judging from Golden Core appearance, he is still some distance away from entering the Nascent Soul Realm.

Shen Duheng observed his Golden Core up close and commented, "The Golden Core is very well formed, even more perfect than I imagined."

Shan Heyuan: "It wasn't like this at the beginning. It was only after being forged day and night by the Pu Core Fire that it took on its current form."

Shen Duheng: "The refinement of the Pu Core Fire was truly worthwhile."

"That's what I think too," Shan Heyuan said happily. Perhaps because it was only his Divine Sense that had entered, he was particularly relaxed today. "Refining the Pu Core Fire was truly the best decision we've made recently."

Shen Duheng: "It's mainly because you're more determined."

The two chatted for a few minutes.

Shen Duheng stared at the Golden Core and suddenly said, "Looking at your Golden Core, I've gained some insights. Wait a moment, let me organize them."

Shan Heyuan immediately said, "Then sit down. The Dantian Small World is very safe. You can continue your meditation as you wish. I won't disturb you."

Shen Duheng: "Okay."

As Shen Duheng spoke, he sat down cross-legged beneath the Golden Core.

Shan Heyuan immediately softened her breathing, distanced herself from him, and stopped bothering him.

Shen Duheng closed his eyes, his breathing gradually rising.

Looking at Shen Duheng like this, Shan Heyuan felt exceptionally calm.

Shen Duheng has been helping him for so long, and now he can finally help Shen Duheng in return, which makes him feel a little proud.

Shen Duheng was still cultivating, Shan Heyuan dared not do anything else for fear of disturbing him, so he quietly began to cultivate as well, but his Divine Sense remained focused on the Dantian Small World, keeping an eye on the situation inside.

Before long, Shen Duheng's aura suddenly jumped, advancing from the Nascent Soul Early Stage to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, advancing on the spot.

At the same time, he began to absorb a large amount of Spiritual Power.

Shan Heyuan immediately realized that he needed Spiritual Power to advance his cultivation level.

His Dantian Small World was not connected to the outside world, so there was no extra Spiritual Power for him to absorb.

Seeing this, Shan Heyuan quickly moved the Top-Grade Spirit Stone that was placed nearby, activated it, and let the pure Spiritual Power surround Shen Duheng.

When Shan Heyuan absorbed these Top-Grade Spirit Stones, he felt extremely distressed. But when it came to Shen Duheng, he not only didn't feel distressed, but was even afraid that there wouldn't be enough Top-Grade Spirit Stone to delay Shen Duheng's advancement.

He observed carefully, and after a while, Shen Duheng's fluctuating cultivation level gradually stabilized, no longer rising and falling, but instead climbing in a straight line.

This shows that activating the Top-Grade Spirit Stone for Shen Duheng was effective!

As Shen Duheng absorbed Spiritual Power, he recalled the scene of his successful Core Formation.

He imitated Shen Duheng's way of arranging Spirit Stone, building Spirit Stone around Shen Duheng and enclosing him entirely inside the Spirit Stone hut.

The wall construction used a full 273 top-grade Top-Grade Spirit Stone, which was more than half of the Top-Grade Spirit Stone he had on hand.

At this moment, he acted with unusual generosity.

As a sword cultivator, and one who once possessed the cultivation level of Spirit Transformation, Shen Duheng has always had the ability to fight across cultivation levels.

Shan Heyuan had always felt that Shen Duheng's aura was quite terrifying when he got serious.

However, no matter how many times Shan Heyuan witnessed Shen Duheng's battle scenes, he felt that none of them were as terrifying as this advancement.

A wave of overwhelming pressure, like the ocean, surged in one after another.

Shan Heyuan felt like he couldn't breathe.

The feeling of being gripped so tightly in his heart made him feel nauseous.

This was only the aura that Shen Duheng was releasing. He was definitely mindful that he was currently in Shan Heyuan's Dantian Small World, so he did not fully unleash his power.

Otherwise, the sheer pressure alone would have been enough to injure Shan Heyuan.

Shan Heyuan truly understand the difference between cultivators.

Realm Spirit was also in his Dantian Small World, and had reached the Spirit Transformation Realm, but his pressure was far less terrifying than Shen Duheng's.

Shan Heyuan now understood why Shen Duheng was able to become the leader of the number one sect in the world at such a young age.

Although the mastermind behind it all Ji Li, intentionally pushed him into this position and helped him a great deal, his own cultivation level was also high enough to convince others.

At this moment, in this unknown Dantian Small World, Shan Heyuan glimpsed some of Shen Duheng's imposing aura at his peak, and was filled with admiration.

Brother Shen is indeed a genius!

It's a pity that over the years he has had to conceal his strength and keep a low profile.

Countless emotions surged into Shan Heyuan's heart, ultimately turning into a sigh.

Since Shan Heyuan transmigrated to this world, everything has gone smoothly for him as far as he can remember. However, in the dead of night, he often thinks of Earth, home, his parents, and his brothers.

I wonder if Shen Duheng feels the same way?

Would he think of the Sword Reverence Sect raised him from childhood? Would he think of the Lineage that had betrayed him?

Just as Shan Heyuan was lost in thought, Shen Duheng absorbed most of the Spiritual Power from the Top-Grade Spirit Stone surrounding him and successfully entered the Nascent Soul Middle Stage.

He opened his eyes, his gaze sharp and piercing, seemingly able to penetrate Divine Sense and directly annihilate Shan Heyuan, who was observing from behind.

Shan Heyuan subconsciously held his breath again.

Shen Duheng looked up at the sky and called out to Shan Heyuan's consciousness, "Heyuan?"

"Brother Shen," Shan Heyuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Shen had stopped releasing his oppressive aura, "Congratulations on your successful advancement."

"Thanks to you, the complete world Principle on your Golden Core allowed me to glimpse a trace of profound mystery, and my understanding of the sword has reached a new level."

"Really?" Shan Heyuan's voice was filled with joy. "That's wonderful!"

Shen Duheng's eyes also smiled, "Really. When I was practicing swordsmanship before, there was a move called 'Seeing the World,' which I practiced for many years without mastering. I finally comprehended it just now. This advancement is not because I regained my former cultivation level, but because my swordsmanship has undergone a new breakthrough, resulting in an improvement."

Hearing this, Shan Heyuan felt even happier. "It's good that I can help you."

"Yes, you were a great help."

When Shen Duheng praised someone, he never used flowery language, but his attitude was always very sincere.

Shan Heyuan listened with a sense of elation, feeling an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

After a while, Shan Heyuan barely came to his senses and asked curiously, "When you fought Realm Spirit before, I heard her say that the move you used was called 'Knowing People,' and now your breakthrough sword move is called 'Seeing the World.' What is the name of the Swordsmanship you've been practicing?"

Shen Duheng: "The 'Questioning the Sword' is the core Swordsmanship of the Sword Reverence Sect."

"The Questioning the Sword?" Shan Heyuan couldn't help but say, "The name of this Swordsmanship is very suitable for you sword cultivators."

"Yes, back then, the Ji family ancestor founded the Sword Reverence Sect with this Swordsmanship, which is why the sect is named 'Fengjian'. When 'Questioning the Sword' was first created, it only had twenty-four forms, but it was enriched by generations of disciples, and now it has fifty-two forms. It is the result of generations of disciples questioning their own swords."
