Cultivation Starts from Farming-Chapter 776 - 356: Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure (Part 2)

Chapter 776: Chapter 356: Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure (Part 2)

Xu Ping formed a seal with both hands, intricately weaving the sword technique, and his aura abruptly changed. An unmatched sharp Sword Intent soared to the sky, as if to pierce the firmament itself.

Swish!

Under Xu Ping’s control, a sword array instantly encompassed the entire secret chamber.

Within the sword array, space solidified.

Spiritual Qi was forcibly converted into unrivaled sharp Sword Qi and violent thunder. Countless tiny green-purple sword lotuses appeared out of thin air, blooming and vanishing.

The destructive aura filled every inch of the area, enough to annihilate a cultivator at the Early-Stage Nascent Soul in both body and soul.

"So powerful!"

Xu Ping gasped, eyes filled with both shock and ecstasy.

Such a sword array could indeed be considered among the top Mid-Stage Nascent Soul giants.

In terms of pure offensive power, it even slightly surpassed the Yin Spirit Corpse previously controlled by the Nine Nether Elder.

However, in other aspects, it was certainly inferior.

Moreover, the energy consumption of the sword array was terrifying to an appalling degree.

With his cultivation, he could sustain the full operation of the sword array for no more than twenty breaths before being utterly drained.

This is under the premise of his deep foundation and pure mana. If it were an ordinary Early-Stage Nascent Soul cultivator, they likely couldn’t last even ten breaths.

"Twenty breaths... barely enough." Xu Ping’s eyes flickered with a trace of contemplation.

This sword array was naturally handed over to the Wood Spirit Avatar for control.

The Wood Spirit Avatar possessed the same mana and Divine Sense as him, thus controlling the sword array without obstruction.

Once encountering a formidable enemy, the Wood Spirit Avatar would urge the sword array to attack with full force for twenty breaths.

If the opponent was not defeated within these twenty breaths, it would unhesitatingly choose self-detonation, delivering a deadly blow to the enemy with the horrific power of "All Woods Returning to One."

Such a chain of attacks would be unbearable even for top-tier Mid-Stage Nascent Soul giants.

Of course, if faced with the kind of top-tier Mid-Stage Nascent Soul giant who could withstand several strikes from a Late-Stage Nascent Soul Great Cultivator without dying, this attack combination might not inflict fatal damage.

However, his true form is not merely an ornament.

The Desolate Light of the Prosperity and Oblivion technique still posed significant damage to Mid-Stage Nascent Soul giants.

Taking everything into account, his current strength has probably reached the level of top-tier Mid-Stage Nascent Soul giants.

However, there remains a considerable gap even among the top-tier Mid-Stage Nascent Soul giants.

Although he has stepped into this level, there is still quite a distance from those very pinnacle Mid-Stage Nascent Soul powerhouses.

Those who truly stand at the Mid-Stage Nascent Soul pinnacle often have centuries or even millennia of accumulation, possessing not only profound cultivation but also limitless means.

In comparison, although Xu Ping’s combat strength is respectable, he still lacks in experience and foundation. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Xu Ping dispersed the sword array and summoned back the Canghua Divine Wood Sword.

The green-purple long sword fell into his hand, carrying a tingling sensation in its warmth, connected as if by bloodline.

Feeling the sword’s spirituality, several times more formidable than before, a satisfied smile crept onto Xu Ping’s lips.

Reaching the level of Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure, further improvement required enhancing its spirituality.

The stronger the spirituality, the more potent the Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure’s power.

At the level of a Fifth Rank supreme treasure, the Artifact Spirit’s intelligence is no different from a cultivator’s.

Not only can it think independently, but it can also actively cooperate with its owner in battle, illustrating its tremendous value.

However, treasures that enhance the spirituality of Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasures belong exclusively to the resources of Late-Stage Nascent Soul Great Cultivators.

Even top Mid-Stage Nascent Soul giants would find it challenging to obtain such precious treasures without special opportunities.

Fortunately, Xu Ping did not care about this for now.

After all, the power of the sword array should be completely sufficient before his breakthrough to the Mid-Stage Nascent Soul.

When his cultivation advances further, there will naturally be more opportunities to seek treasures that enhance the quality of Spirit Treasures.

...

Xu Ping toyed with the Canghua Divine Wood Sword a bit more before a stream of verdant Wood Element Spiritual Qi surged from his palm, wrapping the divine sword like threads and strands.

The sword trembled slightly, responding to its master’s call with a semblance of intelligence.

Subsequently, it transformed into a stream of light, entering Xu Ping’s mouth, circulating along his meridians before settling quietly in the Dantian.

Xu Ping exhaled a gentle breath, sat cross-legged on the stone bed, and operated the "Ten Thousand Woods Evergreen Scripture" to restore his mana and Divine Sense.

"Now that the sword array is set, the last thing remaining is the Fourth Rank Puppet." Xu Ping pondered his subsequent cultivation plans.

With the Canghua Divine Wood Sword having ascended to the realm of Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure, along with the Wood Spirit Avatar and the sword array’s cooperation, his combat power had transformed.

However, if he could further refine a Fourth Rank Puppet, his battle prowess would surely increase further.

"A Fourth Rank Puppet..."

Thinking of this, Xu Ping couldn’t help but feel a hint of helplessness.

Although crafting a Fourth Rank Puppet was less dangerous than incorporating a Thunder Spirit into the Canghua Divine Wood Sword, it was technically more challenging.

After all these years, despite making significant progress in the way of Puppetry, he had only scratched the surface.

He was still a considerable distance from becoming a true Fourth Rank Puppet Master.

Moreover, there was no shortcut to mastering such an art; one could only progress through time and experience.

...

Two more years passed.

In the artifact refining room, spiritual light flickered, runes flowed.

Xu Ping formed seals with both hands, fully concentrated on manipulating the floating mass of materials before him.

It was the core spiritual hub of the Fourth Rank Puppet.

At this moment, the spiritual hub had already taken shape, forming a perfect fist-sized sphere with its surface covered in intricate, mysterious runes.

These runes moved slowly as if alive, exuding a faint spiritual light, indicating the terrifying power contained within.
