This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable-Chapter 640 - 1 Void Refining

Chapter 640 -1 Void Refining

Just as the Causality True Intent achieved Perfection, Lu Qingshan suddenly felt every acupoint and every pore throughout his body emitting a vibrant and eager sensation.

It was as if something was about to break through the soil.

This was everything having reached Perfection, even his body subconsciously sending him signals to break through.

Lu Qingshan understood this feeling and seemed to have an epiphany.

“Are you about to breakthrough?” Another Sword Light rose with the wind, flying to Lu Qingshan’s side and asked.

The person controlling the sword was Xi Xiang.

“Yes, disciple has been in the Nascent Soul Realm for over three years, and today, I finally feel it’s time for a breakthrough,” Lu Qingshan said with emotion.

He had harbored the intent for several years. From nearly falling into demonization in the Demon Spirit Tomb to now using the Returning to Nothingness Secret Art in combat, his accumulation had become exceptionally deep.

The thick power of the intent was spreading inside his body, rolling, even spilling over his body, which was why Xi Xiang could perceive it so clearly.

To protect Lu Qingshan, to prevent him from suffering the third attack from the Netherworld, and to temporarily act as Lu Qingshan’s protector, the old Sword Cultivator who had stayed with Lu Qingshan in Zhenjiang for more than a month gazed at this “strongest of the Fourth Realm” from his sect and felt endless emotions.

The strongest of the Fourth Realm, about to be the Fifth Realm.

This was a top Nascent Soul Cultivator who had integrated four types of Primordial Intent in one body. In three years, he was about to break through!

This is the next generation of the Sword Sect, what more could one ask for?

…..

Sword Sect, Sword Coming Peak.

Lu Qingshan opened his panel, and this time the scene on the panel was very lively, with rows of glowing characters flickering continuously.

Firstly, by jumping two ranks and slaying Yuan Cang, he had earned three million Experience Points.

Added to his original nine million Experience Points, even after using the Oblivion beast multiple times and consuming one million one hundred twenty-six thousand Experience Points, his Experience Points savings still reached a staggering ten million seventy-four thousand.

Despite looking like a lot, relative to the Experience Points needed for Void Refinement Realm, it wasn’t actually quite enough.

Next was the prompt for the Intent breakthrough.

“Intent Promotion! … Slaughter Sword Intent promoted to Destruction True Intent!”

“Ability Enhancement! … Your Primordial Spirit has been enhanced! (+150)”

“Intent Comprehension! … Causality True Intent upgraded to Perfection Realm!”

“Ability Enhancement! … Your Primordial Spirit has been enhanced! (+300)!”

With the enhancement brought by the Immortal True Intent breakthrough, although his Cultivation was still in the Nascent Soul Realm, his Primordial Spirit Realm had already broken through to the impressive later stages of the Control Realm (3225/5000).

In terms of the Primordial Spirit Realm alone, Lu Qingshan could almost dominate the Void Refinement Realm.

The Perfection of the Causality Intent had enhanced his two divine foresights.

First was the Divine Foresight which would no longer be limited to predicting the landing points of attacks but would also have a vague sense of the attributes and strength of the attacks.

The other was the Returning to Nothingness foresight. His ability to see the causality lines of spells had been greatly strengthened.

This meant that he could use the Internal Sword method to perform “Returning to Nothingness,” and not be limited to close-range combat.

Although no new foresight had emerged, the enhancement of the original two was very practical and greatly increased their usability, making Lu Qingshan very satisfied.

What is precious is not numerous but refined.

……

With everything ready, the only thing missing was the opportune moment, Lu Qingshan was now prepared for the breakthrough.

Void Refinement, in essence, is just a prerequisite realm for Divinity Transformation.

At the same time, it is a realm in the cultivation of the nine realms that acts as a bridge between the previous and the next levels.

This realm, unlike the Golden Core or Nascent Soul, does not bring about a transformation in form, nor is it like Divinity Transformation which can transform Spiritual Power into Element Force, bringing about a qualitative transformation.

Compared to the Nascent Soul Realm, it is more about the accumulation of Spiritual Power.

In short, breaking through this realm can enhance a Cultivator’s combat power, but it cannot immediately bring about a significant leap in strength.

But one cannot say this realm is not important, although that sounds like a cliché — in the nine realms of cultivation, which realm isn’t important?

However, as a bridging realm, the Void Refinement Realm can greatly determine the future realm and combat power of a Cultivator.

Because of the condensation of the Mortal Seed, the Void Refinement Realm is also known as the beginning of the Great Tao.

At this stage, Cultivators are compared in terms of accumulation, mastery of spells, and application of intent.

At this point, it all comes down to the cultivator’s talent and how much time they spend.

Also, because it is a realm of accumulation, the gap among Void Refining Cultivators is often so vast it’s hard to imagine.

This is also why many Void Refining Cultivators are not up to par in front of Lu Qingshan, who is in the Nascent Soul Realm — since it is a realm that cannot immediately bring about a transformation in strength. If a cultivator’s own accumulation in the Void Refinement Realm is just average, unable to cause a qualitative change through quantitative change, it essentially amounts to a slightly enhanced version of a Nascent Soul Cultivator.

Nascent Soul Cultivator, who has Lu Qingshan ever feared?

The power of intent within Lu Qingshan surged, its inherent principles generating frequent wonders and nearing perfection.

Cultivators condensing their dao seeds can roughly be divided into four levels.

The first is the condensation of a Mortal Seed by the Lower Rank Intent, but unless really out of sheer lack of talent and desperation, generally, cultivators do not hastily condense a Mortal Seed.

Because once a Mortal Seed is condensed, it signifies that apart from having a longer life, this cultivator, in other respects, scarcely differs from a Nascent Soul Cultivator.

What’s more important is that for those who condense a Mortal Seed, the chance of breaking through to Divinity Transformation is extremely slim.

Next is the condensation of an Earth Seed by Middle Rank Intent.
