Martial Arrogance Dragon Soul-Chapter 426 - 401 Bringing Dawn

Within the Sword Pond...

Qin Qing was still continuously comprehending Sword Intent.

At this moment...

A change suddenly occurred in Qin Qing’s aura.

His momentum kept rising, and simultaneously, rings of golden light burst forth.

Within the core of Qin Qing’s dantian, that Golden Core also transformed, evolving from a Three-Color Golden Core into a Four-Color Golden Core.

This meant that Qin Qing’s cultivation had once again risen, breaking through from the Third Level of the Golden Core Realm to the Fourth Level.

And yet, it was not over!

Qin Qing’s momentum was still climbing!

The Sword Intent of the three Sword Fruits, along with the Sword Intent within the Sword Pond, was continuously comprehended by Qin Qing, and this comprehension of Sword Intent was the direct cause of the Golden Core’s transformation.

Soon, a fifth color bloomed atop the Golden Core.

The Fifth Level of the Golden Core Realm!

Qin Qing had actually broken through to the Fifth Level of the Golden Core Realm!

He had crossed two minor realms in succession...

As his Cultivation Realm rose, Qin Qing’s Physical Body and Divine Sense also received corresponding enhancements.

The Baptismal Power that was originally on the verge of depletion seemed to sense the transformation of Qin Qing’s body and intensified once more.

That is to say, the Baptismal Power that Qin Qing could receive had also increased a bit.

The eighteenth day, the nineteenth day.

Soon, the twentieth day...

Twenty days had passed.

Qin Qing was still in the Sword Pond.

Undoubtedly, Qin Qing had broken the baptism record left in the Sword Pond by that mysterious Martial Artist from the Ancient Country.

In the following three days.

Qin Qing did not continue to comprehend Sword Intent.

It wasn’t that he was unable to continue comprehending Sword Intent...

But rather, he believed that there was simply too much Sword Intent here, and with no time to keep pondering, he chose to imprint all the Sword Intent into his mind. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

This method was just like inscribing a Spiritual Array in the mind, arranging all the Sword Intent as Spiritual Patterns, recording them in the mind.

When the time comes to ponder upon the Sword Intent, slowly contemplate these Spiritual Patterns...

Three days later.

Qin Qing had imprinted all the Sword Intent that he had not yet comprehended within the whole Sword Pond.

Moreover, by this time, Qin Qing could also clearly feel that the Baptismal Power he could receive was nearly non-existent.

So there was no need to remain in the Sword Pond any longer!

If other people knew the reason for Qin Qing’s departure from the Sword Pond, they would probably cough up blood.

Others had to leave the Sword Pond because they could no longer continue. But the reason Qin Qing left was that there was no longer any meaning to staying!

When Qin Qing stepped out of the Sword Pond, Cang Yuan and the others all looked at him one by one.

"Brother Qin! Impressive!"

Pei Fulong was the first to come over.

"I knew from the beginning that, Brother Qin, your talent is absolutely extraordinary, but I did not expect it to be so heaven-defying," said Pei Fulong enviously to Qin Qing.

"Brother Pei!" Qin Qing smiled, "Have you been waiting for me these past few days?"

"Yes! Seeing that you were continually cultivating, I didn’t say goodbye when I left, thinking I’d wait until you finished your baptism before saying farewell. I never expected that I’d end up waiting six days! Brother Qin, do you realize you have broken the record of the Sword Pavilion..." Pei Fulong said.

"A record?"

Qin Qing was somewhat puzzled; he had no idea about any record.

"The previous record in the Sword Pavilion was someone persevering in the Sword Cleansing Pool for twenty days, that was the longest time," Cang Yuan likewise said with a touch of madness while looking at Qin Qing, "But Senior Qin, you persisted for twenty-three days! That means, the record for the longest time receiving baptism in the Sword Pond belongs to you, Senior Qin!"

"Indeed!"

"Young friend, congratulations."

At that moment, a voice came from afar.

It seemed as though the voice was in the distant sky at first, but in the next breath, it arrived at Qin Qing’s ear.

This was a middle-aged man, wearing a deep gray scholar’s robe, his skin delicate like a baby’s, his air refined, wearing a gentle smile as he looked at Qin Qing.

"Senior," Qin Qing bowed to the middle-aged man, intuiting the man’s identity.

He could not discern the middle-aged man’s cultivation level, but he sensed an extremely powerful aura emanating from him.

Even the likes of Zhao Wuji of the Tai’a Academy and Zhu Jirong of the Wind-Fire Academy didn’t emit an aura as profound as this middle-aged man’s.

"I am the Pavilion Master of the Sword Pavilion, Gong Jinyu," the middle-aged man said to Qin Qing with a nod and a smile.

Hearing what the middle-aged man said, the others around were all taken aback.

So this person in front of them was the Pavilion Master of the Sword Pavilion.

Liu Hongxue, Cang Yuan, and even Pei Fulong, these individuals naturally had all heard of the Pavilion Master of the Sword Pavilion, an extremely mysterious powerhouse, reportedly powerful enough to be ranked within the top three on Tian Nian Star.

This was a true powerhouse standing at the very apex of the world’s pyramid.

Mighty figures like Zhao Wuji and Zhu Jirong could only look up to him!

"We pay our respects to Senior Gong Jin!"

The group promptly offered their respects.

Qin Qing also bowed; such a formidable figure was now standing before him.

As for others, in addition to their reverence for Gong Jinyu, they were also inwardly shocked.

What surprised them was Gong Jinyu’s attitude towards Qin Qing.

A figure at the pinnacle of the world, being so courteous to Qin Qing...

"The junior Qin Qing!"

Qin Qing reported his identity as well, for even a great figure like Gong Jinyu was so politely introducing himself, Qin Qing certainly did not dare to presume any arrogance.

"Mm, Qin Qing. A very good seedling. I would like to invite you to join my Sword Pavilion, to become the chief disciple of my Sword Pavilion. I will personally instruct you..." Gong Jinyu looked at Qin Qing with hope in his eyes.
