"Ha... forget it, I won't worry about it anymore. What does a god-level cultivation method matter? I have the Ancient Lan Divine Art, so I don't need to practice the Demonic Cultivation Method at all. Even if there are some conspiracies, as long as I don't cultivate, what can they do to me?" Ren Pingsheng gradually regained his calm and found a way to cope.
"The Blood Path Ten Kills, Blood Path cultivation." Upon seeing some other things, he immediately perked up. This should be martial skills that focus on the cultivation of the Blood Path.
"I can't cultivate the techniques, but this martial skill should be fine. My cultivation in the Demonic Path should also determine a direction; it can't go on like this. Just like my true qi cultivation is focused on the Sword Path, since there are ready-made martial skills in the Demonic Path, then I will cultivate it."
He naturally knew how powerful the Blood Path was; the Blood Fiend Sword Technique he practiced back then was actually related to this aspect. It was definitely a method of killing invisibly; although it was bloody, its power was indeed formidable.
"Although the cultivation of the Blood Path is somewhat obscure, if mastered, its power is equally terrifying. You will understand this later; through it, you should easily comprehend the Blood Realm and then the mysteries of blood," the Demon Emperor said after hearing Ren Pingsheng's inquiry.
"Forget it, let me tell you. In fact, as one progresses in cultivation, it becomes increasingly difficult, especially after reaching the Emperor level. At this point, divergences in cultivation begin to appear. They were once like you, comprehending many Artistic Conceptions, and later evolved them into mysteries."
"This is quite natural; the more Artistic Conceptions one comprehends, the more methods one has. Just like you mentioned about sect-level experts, their methods are various integrations of Artistic Conceptions. I suspect that even if King-level experts comprehend mysteries, they will also try to integrate those mysteries into their powerful attack methods," Ren Pingsheng said logically.
"That's right; you are correct. King-level experts comprehend mysteries to a certain extent and will also attempt to merge those mysteries to enhance the power of their martial skills. The same goes for Emperor-level experts; of course, they have other means as well, but that's another topic," the Demon Emperor affirmed.
"However, what you don't know is that evolving mysteries further into laws is incredibly difficult. At this point, some people begin to abandon previous complexities and focus solely on one path. For example, cultivating the Blood Path or Wind Path or Fire Path is similar because any single law has unimaginable power. As long as one comprehends a law, they can become an Emperor-level expert who dominates life and death."
"At this time, even if you have comprehended all mysteries perfectly, they still cannot compare to the power of a single law and cannot break through your cultivation level. And when it comes to Emperor-level experts, understanding laws remains very challenging; at this point, they simply lack both the ability and time to comprehend other mysteries."
"Don't worry too much. The reason I'm telling you all this now is to make you consider in advance what kind of path you want to take next. Just like your Demonic Path leading to the Blood Path; just follow that path downwards. How to choose in terms of true qi depends on what you think," the Demon Emperor said with a smile while looking at the silent Ren Pingsheng.
"Is there no one who has comprehended two or even more laws?" Ren Pingsheng asked hesitantly.
"Hehe, naturally there are; in this vast world, there are countless geniuses and monsters. Some specialize in one path while others are unwilling to give up and have comprehended two laws; however, those who comprehend more than that are quite rare. After all, no matter how monstrous a person is, their lifespan is limited."
"Hehe, looking at it this way makes my situation even more complicated. True qi cultivation and Demonic Path cultivation mean I need twice as much time compared to others; not to mention I've already comprehended so many Artistic Conceptions with my true qi."
"This is why I'm telling you all this—to prepare you in advance. Alright, you should focus on comprehending the Blood Path for now." The Demon Emperor shook his head and disappeared.
Ren Pingsheng also collected his thoughts; these matters felt far away from him now. Considering them was useless; improving his strength was what mattered most.
He quickly immersed himself in the practice of Blood Path. Not only did it contain the martial art of Ten Kills of Blood Path, but it also included some insights that allowed one to comprehend faster.
Ren Pingsheng sat for two days, fully understanding all the insights of Blood Path. However, it only covered up to the King-level realm and then stopped. But for him, that was more than enough; he had thoroughly grasped this part of Blood Realm.
Then he began to draw his sword and practice the Ten Kills of Blood Path. This was a sword technique, and he wasn't sure if it was a coincidence that it matched his needs or if there were other reasons. Each kill corresponded to a realm, with the Divine-level realm having two kills, perfectly totaling ten kills.
With each swing of his sword, blood-red sword energy formed into a cloud of crimson, quite similar to the previous Blood Slaughter Sword Technique. Gradually, he gained some understanding of Blood Path and could even clearly feel the blood flowing within him. Whenever he wished, with just a thought, his blood would stir; it was a very peculiar sensation.
"Ah, this is... Artistic Conception space," he thought as he suddenly found himself in a blood-red space. It was an ocean of blood, with countless streams flowing and an enigmatic rhythm to it. This brought him joy, and he closed his eyes to comprehend.
Gradually, he sensed a mysterious power within the blood. His understanding of Blood Realm was about controlling and mastering it; the more profound his comprehension, the greater the power. He could even cause someone's blood to explode and kill them with just a glance.
He didn't know how long had passed when Ren Pingsheng finally woke up, emerging from the Artistic Conception space. His expression was calm; this time his gains were substantial. Perhaps due to the Soul Refinement Technique, his innate comprehension had increased. His understanding of Blood Realm had reached thirty percent; one more step would lead to minor success.
He gently raised his hand, and a drop of blood appeared on his fingertip. Then he flicked it lightly; the drop vanished in an instant, and with a loud crash, the table in the room shattered into dust. With another gentle wave of his hand, that drop of blood actually flew back and disappeared into his palm.
"Not bad; my control over blood has shown initial results," Ren Pingsheng smiled lightly. He hadn't been testing its power; he just wanted to see how well he could control his own blood. Otherwise, that power would definitely not be what it is now; otherwise, the entire inn would have been leveled.
"Huh? Haha... Good. The Soul Refinement Technique is actually at its final stage and is about to break through."
"Don't celebrate too early; I advise you to stop practicing the Soul Refinement Technique for now," Demon Emperor suddenly appeared and reminded him.
"Why?" Ren Pingsheng was puzzled at first but quickly understood. "You're right. My Demonic Path cultivation has already reached half-step Sect-level realm; my Demonic Essence has been condensed, and my understanding of Artistic Conception and sword intent has also reached great success. Once the Soul Refinement Technique breaks through, I won't be able to suppress it."
"Exactly; your breakthrough is no longer in question; it's just a matter of sooner or later. The key is that you still need to challenge the Sword Trial Tower, so you cannot break through for now."
After realizing this, he broke out in a cold sweat; fortunately, Demon Emperor had reminded him. Otherwise, once he broke through the third layer of Soul Refinement Technique, he would inevitably advance to Dao Sect-level realm. At that point, he wouldn't be able to challenge levels one to thirty of the Sword Trial Tower.
"It seems I can't break through for now. However, I need to challenge the Sword Trial Tower and strengthen my strength. The only way to quickly improve my strength now is through Wind and Cloud Sword. If I can enhance the fusion of both Artistic Conceptions further, my chances will increase significantly." Ren Pingsheng sat down and began to think quietly.
"That’s fine; although it's best not to use sword techniques in the Sword Trial Tower, they might play a crucial role at critical moments," Demon Emperor nodded.
"Alright then; once I fuse Wind and Cloud Artistic Conception to Four and a Half levels, I'll challenge the Sword Trial Tower." He immediately made up his mind and instructed Yi Qingyi—who had been bored—to continue closing himself off again.
During Ren Pingsheng's seclusion, many other geniuses also entered their own retreats. They all gained a lot from this title-honoring conference. Once they comprehend certain things, their strength can improve further.
"After March, I will challenge the Sword Tower." This was a statement left by Xiao Cangjian after his retreat. Similarly, the Demon Prince and the Phoenix Fairy had the same plan, as did the Tianfeng Blade Sovereign and the Canglong Martial Sovereign, who did not participate in the title-honoring conference.
To enter the Qinglong Hall, they must break through their cultivation; otherwise, their chances of competing for the inheritance would be very slim. They have been eyeing the thirtieth level of the Sword Tower, and they would not feel at ease about breaking through until they attempted it once.
Some geniuses whose cultivation had reached its peak but had no hope of reaching the thirtieth level did not hesitate to enter seclusion to break through. The top ten geniuses on the leaderboard seemed to have reached a significant understanding. Due to some fortunate coincidences or assistance from behind-the-scenes forces, their Artistic Conception sword intents had all greatly matured. As long as they could compress their true energy into True Essence, they would be able to break through.
As time passed day by day, three months quickly went by.
In the inn, Ren Pingsheng remained silent, surrounded by swirling clouds and gentle breezes. He had been attempting to merge the two Artistic Conceptions of wind and cloud to enhance the power of his Wind and Cloud Sword.
The surrounding clouds began to slowly dissipate, and the gentle breeze gradually diminished. Eventually, they merged into a long sword, intertwining shades of blue and white that appeared incredibly smooth, with no hint of discord between them.
The long sword trembled continuously as cracks began to form in the void, leaving terrifying fissures behind. Then, the sword circled around Ren Pingsheng twice before vanishing with a 'bang,' as if it had never existed.
"Finally succeeded; the fusion of Wind and Cloud Artistic Conception has reached Four and a Half, which can be considered a minor success. Its power is even stronger than a single Artistic Conception understood at ninety percent," Ren Pingsheng opened his eyes and said with a faint smile.
During these three months, he did not rest at all and devoted himself entirely to this endeavor. The process of merging the Wind and Cloud Artistic Conceptions felt like experiencing countless battles, but he finally succeeded.
"Today I will rest well; tomorrow I will challenge the Sword Tower. I will definitely conquer the thirtieth level," he walked to the window and softly murmured while gazing in the direction of the Sword Tower.
