The Demon Cultivator of the Sword

Chapter 35 Attack Power Test Pillar
He practiced Qi at the age of ten, became a warrior in the Ningzhen realm at the age of eleven, reached the Baoyuan realm at the age of fourteen, the Xingji realm at the age of eighteen, the Linghai realm at the age of twenty-five, and broke through the life and death barrier at the age of thirty-five, becoming the youngest life and death realm warrior in a thousand years. His strength was unparalleled and he was respected as a generation of "Xuan Hou".

Recalling Yan Qingxuan’s introduction in the original novel.

Gu Yuan felt a sense of urgency in his heart.

His goal was not to be on par with Yan Qingxuan, but to surpass Yan Qingxuan.

Then, in the future, he will compete with Ye Chen, who is favored by the Sword God. At least in the near future, he must not let the other party surpass him.

Now it seems that I am still far away from this goal. But the most important thing is to keep a normal mind. The most taboo thing for a warrior is to be eager for quick success.

After thinking all this through, Gu Yuan activated his sword intent and slashed those bad thoughts that affected his own cultivation into nothingness.

After his mentality recovered, Gu Yuan no longer felt disappointed about not breaking through to the late stage of the Condensation Realm. After all, some things cannot be asked for. When you reach a certain level of strength, they will naturally appear in front of you.

After all, it has only been a year since he entered the Nascent Soul Realm.

Even the peak of the middle stage of the Condensation Realm was achieved three months ago.

Of course, apart from the problem of cultivation, the rest of the cultivation went smoothly. In this month of hard training, everyone has made different degrees of progress.

First of all, it is the sword intent. According to Gu Yuan's estimation, it has reached nearly 20% level.

Then came the martial arts technique. After nearly four months, the Three Transformations of Chongyuan Gong finally broke through to the ninth level.

Although the total amount of true Qi remains unchanged, the quality of the true Qi has doubled, greatly increasing the strength.

The last one is the Swift Wind Demon Slash. After more than a month of constantly feeling the artistic conception of wind, Gu Yuan finally integrated the seventh move, making the Swift Wind Demon Slash truly powerful enough to rival high-level earth-level martial arts.

This is also the reason why Gu Yuan did not choose a local-level high-level sword technique, but chose the earth-level high-level body technique Ghost Shadow Mystery.

There is no other reason. In two months, with Gu Yuan's current foundation, he may be able to practice a mid-level earth-level sword technique, but it is absolutely impossible for him to practice a high-level earth-level sword technique.

Compared to martial arts, Qinggong skills are obviously much easier to practice.

The most important thing is that the quality of the phantom clone is too low, and it has gradually become Gu Yuan’s shortcoming.

It is urgent to practice more advanced Qinggong.

Ghost Shadow just makes up for this.

Even if Gu Yuan does not use the Wind Demon Slash now, he can easily defeat Wu Liangyu before he enters the Baoyuan realm.

You should know that Wu Liangyu has already stepped half a step into the Baoyuan realm. After entering the Baoyuan realm, he even won the 25th place on this year's Qianlong List.

This is undoubtedly a huge improvement.

Time passed day by day, and there were only ten days left before the start of the Qianlong Ranking. Gu Yuan was a little puzzled as to why the higher-ups had not set out for the Qianlong Ancient Land yet.

You have to know that the Qianlong Ancient City, where the Qianlong Ranking Competition is held, is a full million miles away from the Feitian Demon Sect. Even for a powerful Xingji Realm expert, it would take ten days or half a month to fly.

However, after considering that the Feitian Demon Sect might have some high-level flying monsters in captivity, he felt relieved.

In this way, two more days passed, and Gu Yuan no longer cared about going to the Qianlong ancient land, as the higher-ups had already made arrangements.

On this day, Gu Yuan was cultivating true Qi in the yard. He was now only one step away from the late stage of the Condensation Realm. Although it was unlikely that he would be able to break through in a short period of time, he still wanted to give it a try. After all, for him, the difference between the peak of the middle stage of the Condensation Realm and the late stage of the Condensation Realm was too great.

Only when he has at least reached a level of cultivation close to the Bao Yuan Realm can he be confident of competing against those masters who are ranked high on the Qianlong List in the original work.

Crack! The two low-grade spirit stones in his hand cracked and turned into two pieces of waste stone.

Gu Yuan opened his eyes and a look of regret appeared on his face. With his current foundation, it was still too difficult to break through by force. It would still take some time for him to advance to the late stage of the Condensation Realm.

Bang bang bang.
There was a knock on the door outside the yard.

Gu Yuan knew that the day to go to Qianlong Ancient City was approaching, and shouted, "Here we come!"

After opening the gate of the courtyard, a young man whom Gu Yuan had never seen before appeared in front of him, wearing the robes of an inner sect deacon.

"I'm the inner sect deacon. The sect master asked me to inform you that the time to go to the Qianlong Ancient Land has come. Gather in the square in front of the main hall now." The young man said lightly.

Gu Yuan showed no surprise on his face: "Okay, I'll be there right away."

After the inner sect steward left, Gu Yuan returned to the house, prepared a few sets of clothes and some daily necessities, then cleaned the room a little, closed the door, and walked towards the square in front of the main hall of the Feitian Demon Sect.

On the flat and magnificent square of the main hall, there were hundreds of inner disciples and core disciples gathered there, all of them were at the late stage of Condensation Realm or above, and the noise was noisy.

"Damn, I only have thirty-eight. Now I can't go to participate in the Hidden Dragon Ranking Competition."

"I only have thirty-nine. No, let's try again."

"Hehe, I have forty-one, so I can follow the sect master and the elders to Qianlong Ancient City."

"Look, fifty. Senior Brother Wu Liangyu actually scored fifty. That's too abnormal."

"Brother Wu Liangyu entered the Bao Yuan realm just a month ago. As soon as he came out of retreat, he defeated many core disciples and fought his way to the top three. Although he lost to Sister Murong in the end, his attack power was equivalent to that of a peak warrior in the middle stage of the Bao Yuan realm. If he goes all out, wouldn't he be comparable to a warrior in the late stage of the Bao Yuan realm?"

"I just don't know how Senior Brother Gu Yuan is doing. Can he pass fifty?"

"It should be difficult. After all, Senior Brother Gu Yuan is still too young. If he is given a few more years, he may be able to compete with the top ten masters on the Hidden Dragon Ranking."

Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive.

When Gu Yuan arrived, he was quickly attracted by the noise and went over curiously.

When the disciples surrounding him noticed him, they all consciously made way for him.

Entering the crowd, Gu Yuan was surprised to find that three stone pillars had been erected in the center of the square at some point in time. They were ten feet high and three feet wide. A thin piece of crystal was attached to the lower half of the pillars and deeply embedded in them. On top of the pillars were eight rows of crystals, with ten in each row. Just now, a core disciple at the peak of the late Condensation Realm hit the crystal below, and the crystals above lit up. A total of forty-two crystals lit up, and the maximum was eighty.

After the core disciple scored forty-two, it was immediately recorded by the inner sect deacon nearby.

"Attack power test column."

Gu Yuan recognized it quickly. He observed and found that it was difficult for peak warriors in the late Condensation Realm to have more than 40 stars. Those who had more than 40 stars were basically core disciples. Wu Liangyu, who was in the early Bao Yuan Realm, had hit 50 stars, which was equivalent to a full-strength attack by a warrior in the middle Bao Yuan Realm.

In other words, the crystals in the first and second rows correspond to warriors in the Qi training realm.

The third and fourth rows correspond to the attack power of warriors in the Condensation Realm.

The fifth and sixth rows correspond to the Baoyuan realm.

The seventh and eighth rows correspond to the Star Realm.
