Sole Sword Supremacy-Chapter 558 - 562: Refining the Divine Soul, Swallowing the Ice Cicada

Chapter 558: Chapter 562: Refining the Divine Soul, Swallowing the Ice Cicada

In fact, it’s not just the High Priest and Qu Lishang, even Wang Junze and the others can sense each other’s situation within the Ice Spring.

Especially with Nini’s fast absorption rate, it almost forms a small whirlpool around her, making it hard for others not to notice.

This is actually also a test of mentality. After all, the High Priest had mentioned before that the Ice and Snow Essence within the Ice Spring is limited, and now with a few people absorbing it together, if someone refines more, naturally others will absorb less.

In this situation, anxiety and even dissatisfaction can easily arise, but cultivation is never something to rush; the more you hurry, the easier it is to make mistakes.

Of course, due to Nini’s special status, Jing Yuan and Ah-Man naturally wouldn’t be jealous; instead, they feel gratified.

So, the true test is for Wang Junze and Luo Qingxuan.

Unfortunately, neither Wang Junze nor Luo Qingxuan have any reaction to this.

Wang Junze even simply closed his eyes, not caring at all about the others, focusing all his mind on his own cultivation.

Others want to take this opportunity to see the gaps between Wang Junze and the others, but for Wang Junze, he has never wanted to compare with anyone.

Time passed by silently like this.

In the blink of an eye, more than an hour has passed.

The speed at which Wang Junze absorbs may not be as fast as Nini, but it’s certainly not slow either; moreover, gradually Wang Junze feels that his physical body seems to have been tempered to an extreme.

This doesn’t mean that Wang Junze’s body’s strength can match Nini’s, just that for him, the body has reached the limit it can bear.

With this, Wang Junze faces two choices naturally.

One is to continue trying to break through, to break the body’s limit, and complete the transformation.

The other is to simply abandon the body’s tempering and turn to start tempering the Divine Soul.

There is actually no obvious advantage or disadvantage in these two choices, it’s merely a matter of personal preference.

After pondering for just a moment, Wang Junze made his decision!

Abandon further tempering of the body!

Wang Junze knows very well in his heart that his talent does not lie in the body. Instead, taking advantage of this opportunity to temper the Divine Soul and enhance cultivation is the most important thing.

In a single thought, Wang Junze opened his mind and directed the Ice and Snow Essence within the Ice Spring into his Sea of Consciousness.

Boom!

Instantly, the speed at which Wang Junze absorbed the Ice and Snow Essence seemingly soared suddenly, far surpassing the time when he was tempering his body.

"Amazing indeed!"

Watching the changes in Wang Junze’s body, even the Divine Court High Priest couldn’t help but softly praise.

The path of cultivation often requires making choices. If someone else were in this situation, they would at least hesitate for a long time before making a decision, but Wang Junze made his decision almost without much thought; this decisiveness is also extremely rare.

Qu Lishang also slightly nodded, very satisfied with Wang Junze’s choice.

A strong body is certainly important, but for a Sword Cultivator, this is definitely not the most important factor. Not blindly comparing the body’s strength with others is the most rational choice.

Unconsciously, another few hours have passed.

Including Wang Junze, everyone’s absorption rate involuntarily slowed down, which also means everyone is on the verge of a breakthrough.

The accumulation of the Ice Spring for twenty years is sufficient to allow Wang Junze and the others to all break through, but in reality, whether they can seize the opportunity to break through is not just about having enough resources.

Take Luo Qingxuan as an example; her biggest difficulty in Entering the Path is in comprehending the Path Rules. Only by finding her own path can she complete the breakthrough; otherwise, even with more resources, she can’t continue absorbing.

Cultivation has never been something that can be stacked up with resources; otherwise, would talent and insight not become a joke?

Moreover, Wang Junze has indeed reached the most crucial stage of the breakthrough to the Divine Travel.

Since a long time ago, Wang Junze has actually been attempting to condense his Divine Soul, but his Divine Soul is not quite like others; Wang Junze’s condensed Divine Soul is a sword itself!

From the time of Opening Veins, Wang Junze did not walk the usual path of Martial Artists; instead, he opened veins with Sword Qi!

Afterwards, he comprehended Sword Intent, opened veins again with Sword Intent, broke the shackles, and completed the legendary Hundred Meridians Opening.

From that time, Wang Junze has based everything on Sword Intent!

As time progressed, this uniqueness has never changed; for Wang Junze, his comprehension and realm in Sword Dao have always been ahead of his own cultivation.

And it is the same now.

The Divine Soul continues to be tempered, soon to be fully formed; according to the standard of ordinary Martial Artists, the strength of Wang Junze’s Divine Soul is already enough to break through to the Divine Travel Realm.

However, since he chose to condense his Divine Soul into a sword, he must also integrate Sword Intent into his Divine Soul, which is to lay a foundation for Entering the Path earlier. Once successful, even at just the Divine Travel Realm, Wang Junze might even be able to condense the Path Domain in advance.

But the difficulty in this is undoubtedly several times harder than normally breaking through the Divine Soul!

Only hesitating for a moment, Wang Junze then opens his eyes, without hesitation, and takes out the Thousand-year-old Ice Cicada, holding it in his palm.

A tiny Ice Cicada, about the size of a thumb, pure white like ice, crystal clear; just holding it in the palm, you can feel the immense life force and power within.

In the next moment, Wang Junze directly swallows the Ice Cicada!

Boom!

In an instant, a terrifying force explosively emerges in the mouth, violently impacting Wang Junze’s body, and also crazily rushing into the Divine Soul.

If anyone could see Wang Junze’s Sea of Consciousness, they would find that at this moment Wang Junze’s Divine Soul seems to be shining brightly.

Of course, most importantly, is the enlightenment effect contained in the Thousand-year-old Ice Cicada.

This is the reason Wang Junze swallowed the Thousand-year-old Ice Cicada without hesitation.

But such an action also causes everyone to be in an uproar.

Everyone knows how precious the Thousand-year-old Ice Cicada is; it is a rare treasure only used when about to Enter the Saint Realm. Both Luo Bingyun and Qu Lishang have advised Wang Junze not to use the Thousand-year-old Ice Cicada so early because it’s really too wasteful.

Yet, no one expected, knowing all this, Wang Junze would still swallow the Thousand-year-old Ice Cicada without hesitation.

It’s just a breakthrough to Divine Travel, with the power of the Ice Spring, there’s already hope for breaking through, let alone if it doesn’t work this time, given Wang Junze’s talent, surely soon enough he can smoothly break through too; does he really need to be this anxious?
