Ren Pingsheng's breakthrough was impressive, surpassing even the previous Xiao Cangjian. The true energy within a twenty-mile radius was swept up by the Wind Dragon and then merged into the thirty levels of the Sword Testing Tower.
This true energy, after passing through the Spirit Gathering Array, became even more pure and dense, before finally flowing into Ren Pingsheng's body. The six-colored vortex spun continuously, refining this true energy, while the true energy in the pool below began to stir. With an increasing influx of true energy, the pool started to saturate and expand. Eventually, the true energy pool began to shatter and reorganize; the original true energy was completely absorbed by the six-colored vortex and began to be refined anew.
A massive amount of true energy, after continuous refinement and compression, became increasingly pure, eventually starting to condense into True Essence. Since Ren Pingsheng was breaking through from true energy, this process, although it seemed brief, actually took a full half hour to succeed.
After the first drop of True Essence successfully condensed, it fell into the reappearing True Essence Pool. At this moment, the True Essence Pool was twice as large as before. This single drop seemed insignificant within it, but it marked Ren Pingsheng's official status as a sect-level martial artist.
The spiritual energy in the entire space continued to gather, and the Wind Dragon outside the Sword Testing Tower showed no signs of stopping. True energy within twenty miles kept disappearing while new energy continuously surged in. Ren Pingsheng sat quietly, operating the Ancient Lan Divine Art in conjunction with the six-colored vortex.
Aside from the initial time spent condensing that first drop of True Essence, subsequent condensation happened at an increasingly rapid pace. After more than three hours, his breakthrough finally came to a halt; by this time, there were already ten drops of True Essence condensed in his large True Essence Pool.
This was merely a preliminary condensation, marking his recent ascension to a sect-level martial artist. Moving forward, he would need to continue cultivating and condensing True Essence. However, looking at the current quantity of True Essence, it was five times that of a perfected respect-level martial artist, and in terms of quality, it was ten times that of a perfected respect-level martial artist. This is why perfected respect-level martial artists find it difficult to contend with sect-level martial artists; the gap is simply too vast.
After his breakthrough, Ren Pingsheng began to comprehend Artistic Conception and sword momentum. The state of unity between heaven and man during his breakthrough was highly efficient. His Golden Realm, Blood Realm, and sword momentum all required understanding.
Soon, golden sword light flickered in space, sharp beyond measure. The glaring blood color spread out, striking fear into those who beheld it. Finally, there was an overwhelming sword momentum filled with oppressive power.
After two hours passed, all phenomena in space disappeared, leaving only Ren Pingsheng behind.
"Ah... finally broke through; I can leave now," Ren Pingsheng said with satisfaction as he opened his eyes. Perhaps if he had chosen to break through using the Demonic Path, he could have saved nearly half the time; however, he preferred not to let too many people know this secret and chose to break through using True Essence instead.
"Very good; my strength should have undergone a qualitative improvement. My understanding of Artistic Conception and sword momentum is already at eighty percent. Coupled with the power of Wind and Cloud's Artistic Conception Four and a Half, I should be able to handle anything now. However, this cultivation still requires time for consolidation. Right now, I'm just getting started; there's still plenty of room for improvement in my True Essence."
"It's time to leave." He glanced around before turning and stepping out of the Sword Testing Tower. Now that his cultivation had broken through, there was no reason for him to stay here any longer.
"The breakthrough phenomenon of this Wind and Cloud Sword Master is truly exaggerated; I've seen the most powerful geniuses with phenomena only extending fifteen miles," one martial artist said in astonishment.
"Hmph! This is what a true genius looks like. You should know that when the Independent Sword Master broke through before, it was with similar might," another martial artist said proudly. Clearly having witnessed both breakthroughs while staying here.
"What a pity that this Wind and Cloud Sword Master is not from our Southern Region; it's truly a loss!"
"Indeed! I never expected such a genius would emerge from the Eastern Region. After all, the Eastern Region is considered the weakest among our territories; it's truly incredible."
"Look, the Wind and Cloud Sword Sovereign is out, it's out!" A martial artist with keen eyes spotted Ren Pingsheng as he just appeared, and they all excitedly called out.
"Ah, Ren Brother, you finally came out! I've been waiting for you for so long." The fastest was Yi Qingyi, who directly pounced into Ren Pingsheng's arms. Her little head rubbed against him, her voice filled with a wronged complaint.
"Hehe, you thought I was fake, didn't you? You must be hungry; there hasn't been anything good to eat during this time." Ren Pingsheng chuckled as he patted her little head.
"Hehe, of course I missed you too, and I want to eat something." She showed no embarrassment at all and smiled brightly.
"Alright, then let's go back and let you eat your fill." He said this and pulled her away, looking at the few people walking over and nodding with a smile.
"You've come out. I said I would treat you to drinks; since you're here, let's go together!" Xiao Cangjian said in a plain tone.
"Sure, being treated to drinks by the Supreme Sword Master is something to look forward to!" Demon Prince laughed heartily.
"Haha, he's no longer just the Sword Sovereign; he has become the Zongji Jing, and from now on will solely represent the Xuanjian Sect." Skywind corrected from the side, a hint of envy on his face.
"Enough. With your cultivation levels, if you want to break through, it won't be difficult. What’s there to be envious of? You definitely won't miss the opportunity at the Azure Dragon Hall. Let's go drink first!" The seven of them left while chatting and laughing, leaving behind those martial artists who were still discussing and unwilling to leave.
At that moment, the Sword Master Rankings suddenly trembled, and then the names of Supreme Sword Master and Wind and Cloud Sword Sovereign disappeared. The first place became Fire Phoenix Sword Sovereign, with Demon Sword Sovereign in second place, and Earth-Splitting Sword Sovereign Feng Buping in third place.
"This ranking doesn't mean much anymore." Feng Buping saw that Ren Pingsheng had left and felt a bit ironic upon seeing his rank on the Sword Master Rankings. He had always wanted to defeat Ren Pingsheng to regain fourth place. Now that he was third on the list, he felt no joy at all.
"Forget it; I'll stop here. Time to go back and try to break through. If I can break through, I'll head to the Azure Dragon Hall!" With that thought, he turned around and left.
"It really is him; the reaction of the Fate-Deciding Jade Pendant is on him, Wind and Cloud Sword Sovereign Ren Pingsheng." At that moment, a figure in black emerged from the crowd, coldly watching the departing Ren Pingsheng. In his hand was a jade pendant that occasionally flickered with red light. "Azure Dragon Hall? Perhaps it's a good opportunity."
The events surrounding the Trial Sword Tower, after more than a month of heated discussion, gradually calmed down. Although many were still interested in the Heritage obtained by Xiao Cangjian, unfortunately, after drinking with Ren Pingsheng, he returned to his sect for closed-door cultivation. He had just broken through and needed considerable time to consolidate his cultivation.
This left some senior experts who were prepared to take risks with no choice but to give up. Even if it was incomplete, the Heritage of a Divine-Level Expert was something many coveted.
After drinking that day, Ren Pingsheng spent a day playing with Yi Qingyi, then went into seclusion to consolidate his cultivation. Although he had become a Zong-level Martial Artist, he had only just broken through. To truly become an initial-level Zong-level Martial Artist, he needed time for proper accumulation.
In the Spirit Gathering Array, Ren Pingsheng sat quietly. Here, he didn't have to worry about his True Qi, as he only needed to continuously refine and compress it. Thus, an endless stream of True Qi flowed into his body; through the Six-Colored Cyclone, drops of True Essence were being condensed.
The True Essence Pool is accumulating more and more True Essence, but unfortunately, it is only about one-tenth of what is needed for an empty True Essence Pool. Only when the True Essence reaches one of the Four Parts can it be considered a true beginner-level sect martial artist.
However, his True Essence Pool is twice that of others, so if we really talk about it, his current True Essence is not inferior to that of a beginner-level sect martial artist. This is the benefit brought by the Ancient Lan Divine Art, which allows his True Essence to be extraordinarily abundant, enabling him to store twice as much True Essence as others. Naturally, his combat power becomes even more formidable.
The news of the two individuals breaking through the thirtieth level of the Sword Trial Tower has just calmed down when news about the Azure Dragon Palace emerges, spreading like wildfire. Compared to the Sword Trial Tower, what martial artists are more concerned about is still the Azure Dragon Palace.
The Azure Dragon Palace is known as a place of inheritance, filled with numerous legacies. For them, it is much more practical than the Sword Trial Tower, which only offers one inheritance every three thousand years; here, with a bit of luck, one could even obtain two or three inheritances. This is why the Azure Dragon Palace is so popular.
Unfortunately, entry into the Azure Dragon Palace requires an Azure Dragon Token. Just like when Ren Pingsheng entered the Sword King’s Tomb, a bloody storm swept through the Southern State over a single Azure Dragon Token. Many sects were even exterminated because of this, and some forces took this opportunity to expand their influence.
"Ah, the Azure Dragon Token has reacted. Is this where the Azure Dragon Palace is located? Duantian Gorge!" Ren Pingsheng, who had been cultivating, suddenly opened his eyes as the Azure Dragon Token appeared in his hand. It was trembling continuously. As Ren Pingsheng extended his consciousness, he immediately received some information indicating the location where the Azure Dragon Palace would soon appear.
"Is there still half a year left? My cultivation has already stabilized; I have completely stepped into the beginner-level sect realm. Next up is the Ninefold Illusion Body; I should be able to advance further." He murmured to himself. He remembered that the Azure Dragon Token would react six months before the opening of the Azure Dragon Palace.
After pondering for a while, he put away the Azure Dragon Token. Then eight Phantom Bodies began to appear in his room, constantly changing positions and overlapping and dispersing.
Time passed little by little, and the location where the Azure Dragon Palace was about to appear also became known. Many martial artists rushed over in advance. Some even ambushed in groups along the way, attempting to seize one or two Azure Dragon Tokens.
Now, any hint of an Azure Dragon Token would trigger fierce battles. With the opening of the Azure Dragon Palace imminent and no Azure Dragon Tokens available, they would miss this opportunity for inheritance. Such a good chance—how could they let it slip away? Thus, killings continued without cease, and blood flowed endlessly.
It is said that there are five hundred Azure Dragon Tokens scattered across various locations, but nine-tenths are in this Southern Region. For someone like Ren Pingsheng to obtain an Azure Dragon Token in the Eastern Region is quite rare. However, even so, for martial artists in the vast Southern Region, it remains scarce. This scarcity is also what incites slaughter and competition for them.
