Chapter 1106 Taking
This small celestial sword is different from the previous ones.

Previously, the Little Heavenly Sword could not be refined and was a one-time use item.

Only one hit, and it will be destroyed and ruined after that.

This little emperor's sword, however, can be refined and made into one's own.

This is equivalent to a magical treasure.

You can only use three swords.

However, this does not mean that it will be destroyed after the three swords; it is very likely that it can be restored.

This is equivalent to having three life-saving charms.

When he encountered the great demon, he dared not make a move and restrained himself repeatedly.

Now, the next time I encounter a great demon, I will be able to draw my sword decisively.

One sword can slay a great demon.

Lu Wanshan said, "This sword is not considered a Heavenly Sword clone; it's sufficient for self-defense."

"Sect Leader, is it useless after the three sword strikes?"

"It's best not to unleash three sword strikes at once, as it will take a long time to recover your strength, and you won't be able to withstand the backlash from its power."

"Yes," Chu Zhiyuan replied. "How long will it take to recover after using all three swords?"

"That depends on your cultivation level," Lu Wanshan said. "The higher your cultivation level, the shorter the recovery time."

"What if it were now?"

"Right now, you can only unleash two sword strikes at most. You can't withstand a third. If it's two strikes, it will probably take you a year to recover."

"Where are the Three Swords?"

"It will take ten years for the three swords to be completed."

"Where's Yi Jian?"

"Two months is enough."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded slowly.

"You'll know naturally once you've completed the refining process," Lu Wanshan said with a smile. "Learn a good lightness skill."

"Yes." Chu Zhiyuan nodded solemnly.

Lu Wanshan said, "Zhiyuan, don't rush down the mountain, lest you be ambushed and killed by a great demon."

"Disciple understands," Chu Zhiyuan said. "Go down the mountain after you have mastered the lightness skill."

Lu Wanshan nodded with a smile: "The Black Dragon Blood should be taken at the time of extreme Yin, and one should nourish oneself until one's essence, energy and spirit are in perfect condition... There is also a secret technique in the Scripture Pavilion, the Dragon Subduing Stake. It was an ancient secret technique that the elders of the sect went to great lengths to find and master. When taking the Black Dragon Blood, setting up the Dragon Subduing Stake may have some effect."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded solemnly.

Dragon-Subduing Stake?
He couldn't help but feel a strange unease.

Could it be the Dragon Subduing Sect?

Is the Dragon Subduing Sect from the Lesser Outer Heaven or the Outer Heaven?

Before the disciple could retrieve the Shadowless Sword, he bid farewell to Lu Wanshan and arrived at a dark, iron-like hall.

It is quite different from the magnificent style of the Hall of Merit, and is simple and unadorned.

The elixirs, treasures, and magical artifacts of the Heavenly Sword Sect can only be obtained through merit points.

However, the techniques can be freely consulted and practiced without any restrictions.

The many secret techniques within the Sutra Repository represent the profound foundation of the Heavenly Sword Sect, including fragments from other sects and the inheritances of ancient sects.

He found the lineage of the Dragon Subduing Sect in the Sutra Repository.

This inheritance of the Dragon Subduing Sect is exactly the same as the inheritance found in the Lesser Outer Heaven.

The Dragon-Subduing Stake above is naturally the Dragon-Subduing Stake of the Lesser Heavenly Realm.

He returned to his courtyard and found Li Hongzhao already waiting there.

Li Hongzhao asked curiously, "You really exchanged for the Black Dragon Blood?"

Chu Zhiyuan chuckled: "It's spread like wildfire already?"

“You’re a prominent figure in our sect now, and everyone’s watching your every move,” Li Hongzhao said. “Are you really going to use the Black Dragon Blood?”

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

Li Hongzhao asked, "Is it possible to break through to the third stage in one go?"

"Pretty much," Chu Zhiyuan said. "It's said to have such effects... but we should take it first."

Li Hongzhao's eyes were bright and piercing.

Once you step into the third turn, you can descend the mountain.

How long will it take for me to reach the third job advancement?

Chu Zhiyuan laughed and said, "You need to step up your game."

"I'm not in a hurry," Li Hongzhao scoffed. "We still need to solidify our foundation."

Chu Zhiyuan chuckled.

Li Hongzhao rolled her eyes at him and said, "I do feel that the foundation is unstable and needs to be stabilized."

Chu Zhiyuan reached out his hand.

Li Hongzhao's aptitude is undeniable; if his foundation seems unstable, then he's right.

Li Hongzhao also extended his hand.

Chu Zhiyuan took her fair wrist, closed his eyes, and instantly saw through her body, inside and out.

A moment later, he opened his eyes and pondered thoughtfully.

Li Hongzhao stared intently at him with bright eyes: "Do you have a solution?" External force is, after all, external force, not power accumulated over time.

It is still necessary to completely refine it into one's own power and integrate it into oneself before a solid foundation can be laid.

If one cannot use one's arm and fingers as easily as one's own, one will ultimately be unable to achieve mental clarity, which will hinder progress.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "There are two paths."

"Two?" Li Hongzhao asked.

"One option is to destroy your true essence and have you cultivate it back to normal."

Li Hongzhao frowned slightly.

"The other one helps you improve your spirit and accelerate the tempering process, but the first one is more convenient."

"They won't just cripple my cultivation, will they?" Li Hongzhao asked.

"I won't cripple your cultivation," Chu Zhiyuan said. "Come on."

He extended his left palm.

Li Hongzhao hesitated for a moment before extending his right palm.

She trusted Chu Zhiyuan and knew he wouldn't harm her.

Chu Zhiyuan placed his left palm on her crystal-clear right palm: "It's about to begin."

It feels cool and smooth to the touch, like a piece of cool, white jade.

His Laogong acupoint opened, and the violent suction force instantly pulled Li Hongzhao's true essence into the Azure Sea and Sky.

The next moment, Li Hongzhao's face turned pale, and the thief had vanished.

This is different from her own move of mutual destruction, where she concentrates all her power into a single strike.

Instead, an external force instantly ripped away the true essence.

In reality, it's no different from losing one's cultivation level; the only difference is that the dantian and meridians are not damaged.

Chu Zhiyuan withdrew his left palm: "Circulate your internal energy."

Li Hongzhao suppressed the intense dizziness, weakness, and even nausea that made him want to vomit. He withdrew his right palm and placed it below his lower abdomen, touching it with his left palm, and began to circulate the Phoenix Burning Heaven Scripture.

Chu Zhiyuan nodded in satisfaction.

This time there were no mishaps, and the problem was indeed solved.

After Li Hongzhao replenished his original true essence, he completely solidified his foundation.

The next step will allow us to unleash our full potential and make rapid progress.

He glanced at Li Hongzhao, then got up and went to the flowerbed outside the pavilion.

Clusters of flowers bloom in the flowerbed, some delicate, some pure white, some refreshingly cool.

A delicate fragrance lingered all around.

He put his hands behind his back, looked up at the sky, and struck a pose resembling a dragon-subduing stance.

Once the Dragon Subduing Stake is activated, the true essence will automatically circulate along a special route.

His body suddenly felt heavy, and he felt as if he had turned into a pillar, plunging downwards, deeper and deeper, into the depths of the earth, into the endless depths of the earth.

It seems to be rooted in the deepest part of the earth, integrated with the earth, firm and unshakable.

Chu Zhiyuan discovered that mastering the Earth Origin Technique had improved his mastery of the Dragon Subduing Stake.

The Dragon Subduing Stake has now transcended its original scope, reaching a deeper and higher level, and its power is incomparable to what it once was.

He closed his eyes, remained motionless, and let time pass slowly.

Until the moon reaches the zenith.

He opened his eyes, opened the small black bottle in his sleeve, and brought it to his lips.

Suddenly, a wave of cold air surged from the bottle, freezing him instantly.

The true essence circulated on its own, resisting the cold air.

A moment later, sensing there was no danger, he drank it all in one gulp.

It felt like a stream of lava entering my throat.

The heat was so intense it felt like it was scalding my esophagus, and the heat even spread throughout my body, threatening to scald me as well.

The cold air then spread.

The combination of cold and heat puts the body in a state of extreme discomfort, causing immense pain.

Along with the cold and heat, there was also a sense of violence and rage.

The world before my eyes suddenly became unpleasant, and I wanted nothing more than to destroy it all.

The murderous intent and mania grew stronger and stronger, rushing straight to his mind and threatening to rob him of his reason.

Just then, a dragon's roar echoed in the void of his mind.

The next moment, his mind suddenly cleared.

At the same time, I found that my mental strength had greatly increased, and everything around me became more vivid and clear.

The power of this black dragon blood to the spirit is immediate.

Inside the body, the interplay of hot and cold forces merged with the true essence, like a spark falling into oil.

In an instant, the true energy exploded.

His body was instantly filled with true essence, which increased several times over and became omnipresent, threatening to burst his body.

Beneath the Dragon Subduing Stake, true energy surged, circulating along a special route.

The surging true energy also circulated along the path of the Dragon Subduing Stake, making his body more stable and unshakeable.
