I Can Fix My Talent in Hundred Lives-Chapter 231 - 193: Returning Laden with Spoils

In just a few days, Chen Xihua’s figure flitted about Taiyue Divine Peak like a ghost, teleporting from place to place, gathering most of the hidden treasures recorded and unrecorded in the Divine Peak’s scriptures.

His storage ring was filled with treasures such as Myriad Spirits Stone Milk, Primordial Thunder Crystals, Ice Soul Sword Marrow, and Nine Elements Spirit Fruit.

Each of these was a rare item that an ordinary cultivator might never obtain in a lifetime, and even as he took stock, he couldn’t help but reveal a satisfied smile.

Chen Xihua sat cross-legged next to the Ancient Wordless Stele in the core inheritance space, his fingertips brushing over the storage ring, his divine sense scanning the treasures within, and he murmured softly to himself:

"These are enough for now. The Tier Four Spiritual Materials attached to the sword form, like the ’Profound Iron Essence’ contained within the Divine Peak’s rock walls and the ’Sword Pattern Jade’ deep below the mountain, I’ll take them all when I leave."

As he spoke, a hint of anticipation flashed through Chen Xihua’s eyes:

"With Primordial Thunder Crystals, Myriad Spirits Stone Milk, and Nine Elements Spirit Fruit, mastering the Third Layer of the ’Myriad Phenomena Sources Returning to Spirit Skill’ is finally within reach for me."

At this moment, he was contemplating how to set aside a portion of these treasures to give to his father.

"Father has always been collecting treasures related to the Myriad Phenomena Sources Returning to Spirit Skill, surely not for a Celestial Grade Spiritual Root. The gains from this journey should be able to assist him greatly."

"And then there’s the inheritance from Xichuan Sword Mansion, whose high-tier inheritance surpasses even that of the Myriad Swords Sect. Back then, when Father planned for me to have an exchange opportunity at the Myriad Swords Sect, it didn’t work out. Acquiring this inheritance ought to make up for that shortfall."

"But I must take it slow; taking it all out at once would draw too much attention. Caution is paramount."

Time passed slowly like the clouds between the Divine Peaks, and in the blink of an eye, it was getting closer to the ninth month since entering the Ancient Yue Grotto Heaven.

Chen Xihua temporarily sealed the inheritance space and switched to sitting cross-legged at the summit of Taiyue Divine Peak, surrounded by a faint Void Sword Intent.

Having gained such a tremendous opportunity, he grew increasingly cautious—for the waves hide in the wake of great trees, and if other cultivators noticed the anomaly of the Divine Peak, it could inevitably attract covetous eyes.

In these days, cultivators occasionally followed maps to Taiyue Divine Peak.

Some were loose cultivators hoping to try their luck in search of omitted spiritual materials; some were sect disciples unwilling to give up after previous teleportations, trying to ascend the mountain again, and even a few Golden Core Perfection cultivators from the Sword Sect came in groups...

Chen Xihua quietly activated the core restriction of the Divine Peak—clouding the mountaintop’s mist, making the pressure between the mountain peaks fluctuate, causing ancient patterns on the rock walls to emit dim light, crafting a facade of a "Divine Peak nearing collapse."

The arriving cultivators saw this spectacle and all showed expressions of lamentation:

"What a pity, another opportunity site is about to collapse."

Someone reached out to touch the rock wall and felt the faint fluctuation of the restriction, further solidifying the impression that "the Divine Peak is about to be destroyed."

Someone looked at the murky cloud mist, shook their head, and turned away in sighs, without suspecting that these layers of restrictions were being manipulated by someone.

After all, in the Ancient Yue Grotto Heaven, there was no shortage of opportunity sites ruined due to the passage of time, so the "collapse" of Taiyue Divine Peak seemed to them a mere commonplace event.

It was only the sword cultivators from the Myriad Swords Sect who felt immense regret, especially those True Sword Children, most of whom knew a secret—the Taiyue Sword Peak was a place of origin for the sect’s sword inheritance, possibly containing more exquisite legacies.

Now that it was collapsing overnight, there would be no more chances!

...

Time passed slowly, finally reaching the day when the Ancient Yue Grotto Heaven would close, and the cultivators inside were about to be teleported out.

Within the grotto heaven, that mysterious Void Shifting Power grew increasingly intense, like an invisible hand, enveloping each of the scattered cultivators, who then vanished from the secret realm in a blink.

Some sword cultivators from the Myriad Swords Sect waiting outside Taiyue Divine Peak wore expressions of helplessness.

They had hoped that the Taiyue Divine Peak would collapse before the grotto heaven closed, believing they might discover some inheritance from the Ancient Sword Dao.

Yue Wushuang sighed helplessly, "So be it, we’ll have to leave this matter to the next generation."

At the same time, the space within Taiyue Divine Peak began to ripple, with the Shifting Power constantly impacting the divine peak’s restrictions.

However, Chen Xihua temporarily resisted it using his core control—he needed to handle the final matters of the Divine Peak only after ensuring every cultivator had left.

After waiting for more than ten hours, Chen Xihua was absolutely certain that all the external cultivators had been teleported out of the grotto heaven, leaving him as the only person in the entire secret realm.

He slowly stood up, gazing at the swirling clouds below the divine peak, took a deep breath, and the Void Sword Pill within his Dantian suddenly exploded with dazzling light, resonating completely with the "sword form" of Taiyue Divine Peak.

In an instant, a force of pressure belonging to a Tier Five Daoist Sword emanated slowly from his body, sweeping across the entire divine peak like a tidal wave.

At this moment, Taiyue Divine Peak suddenly trembled violently, rocks slipping and falling, and ancient restrictions on the rock walls began to shatter layer by layer, turning into scattered spirit light and dissipating into the air.

Within the cloud mist, a dull sound emerged, the surrounding space twisted and became chaotic, even light began to refract, as if ready to tear the entire space apart.

Subsequently, an even more astonishing sight appeared—the enormous Taiyue Divine Peak slowly began to reveal its true form!

The originally dark cyan mountain body gradually turned transparent, the rocks transformed into sword blade patterns, the peak turned into the arc of a sword’s spine, and the spirit veins at the mountain’s base became the flowing light of a sword core.

In just a few moments, a divine peak thousands of meters tall turned into a gigantic sword inserted into the ground!

The giant sword was a light black color throughout, its blade wrapped in intricate Void patterns and golden sword patterns, the blade glinting with a chilling light, standing silently yet causing subtle cracks in the surrounding void.

"Collect!"

A flash of brilliance shone in Chen Xihua’s eyes, and he moved his fingers in the "Taiyue Void-Slaying Sword" Sword Collection Technique, causing the giant sword to exude a devouring power like that of a whale swallowing water.

All the scattered spiritual materials around the divine peak, whether the Sword Pattern Jade and Profound Iron Essence on the ground or the floating Spiritual Mist and remnants of Sword Spirit Qi in the air, were firmly drawn in by this swallowing power, flowing like streams into the giant sword.

Even the debris left after the divine peak’s collapse was refined and purified, turning into threads of pure sword material power, which fused into the sword body. Within moments, all scattered spiritual materials were completely devoured by the giant sword.

Following this, the gigantic sword began to shrink—reducing from thousands of meters to mere hundreds, then to tens, and finally down to about three feet in length.

This eventually transformed into a fully black Cyan Peak Longsword with the words "Void Slash" carved into its spine, its blade exuding a delicate void glow, suspended in front of Chen Xihua.

Chen Xihua stretched out his right hand, and the Cyan Peak Longsword, as if imbued with intelligence, gently landed in his palm.

The hilt felt cold to the touch, with the patterns on the blade resonating strongly with the Sword Pill in his Dantian, flooding him with a sense of kinship.

Without lingering, he moved his fingers slightly, causing the Cyan Peak Longsword to turn into a stream of dark light, slowly traversing his arm’s meridians, gradually dwelling into his Dantian, merging with the Void Sword Pill.

Thus, the sword core and sword form of the Tier Five Top Grade Daoist Sword "Taiyue Void-Slaying Sword" were finally wholly unified.

In the Dantian, after merging the Sword Pill with the sword form, a soft spirit light emerged, enveloping the previously gathered spiritual materials within the sword body space, spontaneously forming a Void Restriction that firmly concealed the Daoist Sword’s aura.

Chen Xihua sensed the changes within his Dantian, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

After a brief consideration, he placed the storage ring into the sword body space as well, and without further hesitation, he released control over the remaining restrictions on the earth veins.

In an instant, the wonderful Void Shifting Power descended upon him once more, wrapping around him gently.

This time, Chen Xihua offered no resistance, allowing the Shifting Power to transport him out of the Ancient Yue Grotto Heaven.

With a storage ring full of top-grade treasures, a complete Taiyue Void-Slaying Sword, and the inheritance from Xichuan Sword Mansion, his secret realm excursion came to a successful conclusion.
