Shengui Changsheng: Start from Zhenwuwei and add some points to cultivate immortality

Fu Shaoping sheathed his sword and stood still, the chaotic sword domain around him slowly receding. He did not kill; after all, this was a secret realm, where various forces were deeply intertwined. Although he was not afraid, he did not want to cause unnecessary trouble for his sect. More importantly, his mind was completely overwhelmed by the complete ancient Falling Clouds Sword Dao inheritance from the three sword seeds that surged into his mind.

He glanced at Ling Juexiao and the others, whose faces were filled with resentment and a hint of dejection, then said nothing more. He turned and took a step forward, his figure slowly fading in the starry sky until he disappeared completely. Clearly, he had been recognized by the Hidden Sword Pavilion and teleported away.

He left behind a group of dejected geniuses from all sides, as well as Elder Li of the Qingxuan Sect, whose face was filled with excitement and immense relief.

Outside the Hidden Sword Pavilion, on the White Jade Square, the moment Fu Shaoping was teleported out alone, it immediately caused a commotion. However, before the outside world could react and inquire about the situation, the entire East Sea Secret Realm suddenly trembled violently!
The yellowish hue in the sky faded rapidly, the earth rumbled, and space began to become unstable.

"The secret realm is about to close!" Elder Li's voice then rang out, and the survivors from the Qingxuan Sect and other forces were teleported out one after another.

Fu Shaoping felt the repulsive force of the secret realm towards him. He took one last look at the Hidden Sword Pavilion, which was beginning to become illusory, and then, without lingering, transformed into a golden rainbow and sped towards the entrance of the secret realm.

His journey through the secret realm had now come to a successful conclusion. The gains far exceeded his expectations. Not only did his cultivation break through to the eighth level of Qi Refining, but he also obtained the complete inheritance of the ancient Sunset Sword Dao, which replenished his own Dao foundation, resulting in a tremendous change in his strength.

When he broke out of the vortex of the secret realm and breathed in the salty, fishy air of the East China Sea again, the sunlight was dazzling, and it felt like he had been transported to another world.

But his resolve was stronger than ever before. His sword was different now.

The East Sea Secret Realm closed ahead of schedule. The enormous vortex of light rapidly shrank under the astonished and unwilling gazes of countless cultivators, eventually transforming into a stream of light and dissipating into the world, leaving only the turbulent sea and the lingering spiritual energy.

Of the cultivators who successfully left the secret realm, some were overjoyed with their abundant gains; others were dejected, having gained nothing; and still others remained forever on that ancient battlefield. The various factions quickly regrouped, tallying their gains and losses, creating a complex atmosphere.

On the Qingxuan Sect's flying boat, the atmosphere was tinged with a suppressed excitement. All the disciples' gazes were involuntarily focused on Fu Shaoping, who stood silently on the ship's railing, gazing into the distance. He had been teleported out alone by the Hidden Sword Pavilion, and then the secret realm had closed due to an anomaly—the implications were self-evident. Although the specific details were unknown, everyone understood that this Junior Brother Fu had undoubtedly obtained an astonishing opportunity at the core of the secret realm!
Elder Li gazed intently at Fu Shaoping's retreating figure. He could sense that this young man possessed an indescribable aura, as if he had experienced the vicissitudes of life, yet also resembled the rising sun. The sword intent contained within him was as deep and boundless as the ocean, even causing Elder Li to feel a slight tremor in his heart.

"Return to the sect." Elder Li gave the order in a deep voice without asking any further questions. The light blue flying boat transformed into a streak of light, carrying the group of people with different thoughts, and embarked on their journey home.

Fu Shaoping seemed oblivious to the gazes behind him. His mind was completely absorbed in the earth-shattering changes occurring within his body.

The fusion of the three ancient sword seeds into the Sunset Sword Domain was not a simple addition of power, but a fundamental sublimation and completion. His Qi Sea expanded several times over, and the originally azure-gold Wood Qi was now tinged with a chaotic hue, its quality far surpassing its former self, carrying a trace of the characteristics of primordial sword essence. His meridians became more resilient and expansive, and the strength of his divine sense was approaching that of the early Foundation Establishment stage!
More importantly, there was the complete inheritance of the Sunset Sword Dao. This was not a specific sword technique, but rather the profound meaning that pointed directly to the origin of the Great Dao of "Sunset". The morning glow, the flowing clouds, and the setting sun, the three cycled and repeated, forming a complete cycle of "Dao". The three forms of Sunset that he had practiced before were merely the surface and introduction to this supreme sword Dao.

"It turns out that the end of 'rising dawn' is not merely the beginning of life, but also the beginning of 'hope' and 'cause and effect'; the essence of 'countless flowing clouds' is the trajectory of 'change' and 'fate'; and 'the setting sun like blood' is not simply annihilation, but the inevitability of 'end' and 'reincarnation,' within which lies the true meaning of 'nirvana'..."

Countless profound insights flowed through his mind, and many obstacles he had previously encountered in his cultivation suddenly became clear. He even touched upon the edge of materializing his sword domain and influencing the rules of reality.

He knew that his foundation for cultivation had finally been truly forged. The path ahead was now clear, leading directly to the Golden Core Path, and perhaps even higher!
The flying boat pierced through the clouds, and several days later, the continuous mountain range of Qingxuan Sect came into view.

However, just as the flying boat was about to reach the mountain gate, a sudden change occurred!
"Om-!"

A jet-black beam of light, radiating overwhelming demonic energy, shot up from a valley below without warning and struck the airship's protective shield with perfect accuracy!
"Enemy attack!" Elder Li's expression changed drastically. He shouted sharply, and his powerful late-stage Foundation Establishment aura erupted instantly as he did his best to maintain the flying boat's formation.

But the power of that attack was extremely terrifying, far exceeding the Foundation Establishment level! The protective light shield of the flying boat twisted violently, emitting a mournful cry of being unable to bear the burden, and shattered in less than a breath!

A violent energy surge swept across the entire airship, instantly sending weaker disciples spitting blood and flying backward. The airship itself emitted a piercing cracking sound, breaking in two and plummeting towards the valley!

"Form ranks! Prepare for battle!" Elder Li's eyes were bloodshot. He rolled up his sleeves to protect the nearest disciples and forcibly steadied himself.

Fu Shaoping was alert the instant he was attacked, his Chaos Sword Essence automatically protecting him and dissipating most of the impact. His gaze, sharp as a sword, instantly locked onto the valley below. At the source of the demonic energy pillar stood three cultivators clad in black robes, their faces shrouded in shadow. The leader, with a profound and mysterious aura, was clearly a Core Formation stage demonic cultivator! The two behind him were also late Foundation Establishment stage experts!

"They're from the Black Fiend Cult! How did they manage to infiltrate this place?!" A disciple recognized the group and cried out in terror.

"It's for him!" Elder Li instantly realized, his gaze suddenly turning to Fu Shaoping. Fu Shaoping had stood out in the secret realm, he must possess a great treasure, and the news had probably already leaked, attracting the covetous eyes of the demonic path!
"Heh heh, hand over what you obtained in the secret realm, and I'll spare your lives!" The Core Formation demonic cultivator let out a piercing, eerie laugh, his voice like the scraping of metal, carrying a chilling demonic power. He raised his hand, and a gigantic black demonic claw materialized, blotting out the sky as it grabbed at the two broken pieces of the flying boat! Its target was Fu Shaoping!
The terrifying pressure from the Core Formation stage was almost tangible, making all the Qi Refining disciples feel as if they were trapped in quagmire, unable to move. Even Elder Li found it difficult to breathe.

In this critical moment, Fu Shaoping showed no panic whatsoever; instead, a fierce fighting spirit ignited in his eyes! Having just obtained the complete inheritance, he needed a real battle to verify and digest it!
"With Master absent, this disciple shall protect the sect!"

He stepped off the broken boat, and the chaotic sword energy around him erupted! The three phenomena of dawn, flowing clouds, and setting sun reappeared, but this time, they were no longer illusions, but almost solid! A chaotic sword domain covering a radius of a hundred feet suddenly unfolded around him!

Within the sword domain, the rules seemed to be rewritten. The terrifying pressure brought by the demonic claws was greatly weakened by the sword domain, and the solidified demonic energy, upon touching the sword domain, began to dissolve on its own as if it had encountered its nemesis!
"What?! Sword Domain?! This is impossible!" The Core Formation demon cultivator showed his astonishment for the first time. How could a junior at the eighth level of Qi Refining possibly unleash a Sword Domain that only those with extremely high sword dao realms could comprehend? Moreover, the aura of this Sword Domain even made him feel a slight tremor in his heart!
"The rosy clouds disperse!"

Fu Shaoping shouted, and the Flowing Fire Sword thrust forward! It was still the same sword that fused the essence of the three styles, but its power was no longer comparable to that in the Hidden Sword Pavilion! The Chaos Sword Light was no longer silent, but carried the supreme momentum of opening up the primordial chaos and establishing the world, and crashed into the black demonic claw!
"boom--!!!"

A deafening roar echoed through the valley! An energy storm swept in all directions, leveling trees and rocks to the ground!

Before everyone's incredulous eyes, the demonic claw of the Core Formation demon cultivator, unleashed in fury, was actually pierced and shattered by that chaotic sword light!
Although Fu Shaoping was also shaken by the recoil, his blood and qi churned, and he was sent flying backward with a trace of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, he ultimately managed to block the attack from the Core Formation stage head-on!
"This child must not be allowed to live!" The Core Formation demonic cultivator was both shocked and furious. His killing intent surged, and with a flicker of his figure, he personally took action, transforming into a black rainbow that rushed straight towards Fu Shaoping! He would never allow such a monstrous sword cultivator to grow up!

Seeing this, Elder Li roared and, disregarding his own injuries, summoned his natal magic weapon to meet the attack, attempting to stop him: "Demon, stop your madness!" But the Core Formation demon cultivator was too fast, and the difference in strength was too great. Elder Li was only able to block him for a moment before being knocked away.

Just as the demonic hand, imbued with destructive power, was about to strike Fu Shaoping, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes. He was preparing to recklessly unleash the "Nirvana" sword technique, which he had not yet fully mastered—

"Humph!"

A cold snort seemed to come from the heavens above.

In an instant, the wind and clouds changed color, and the light of the entire world dimmed for a moment. A brilliant, pure azure sword light, as bright as the sun, appeared without warning above the valley, like a sword of divine punishment, striking first despite being delayed, and slashing towards the Core Formation demonic cultivator!

This sword strike was faster than anyone could imagine! It was so powerful it inspired despair!
The demonic cultivator's sinister smile instantly turned into extreme fear. He frantically burned his essence blood and summoned several protective demonic artifacts, but in front of that cyan sword light, all his defenses were as fragile as paper!
"No—! Shen Qing..."

"puff!"

The sword flashed, and the sound abruptly stopped.

The Core Formation demon cultivator froze in mid-air, and then, along with the two late Foundation Establishment demon cultivators behind him, they were silently reduced to dust, their bodies and souls annihilated!
In the world, only the slowly dissipating cyan sword light remained, along with a figure in a cyan robe who had appeared in mid-air at some unknown time.

Shen Qingshan, we've arrived.

He stood with his hands behind his back in the void, his expression still cold and stern. His gaze swept over the ravaged valley, paused briefly on Elder Li, and finally landed on Fu Shaoping, who stood with his sword in hand, his breathing somewhat disordered but his eyes bright.

"It seems your journey to the secret realm was not in vain."

Shen Qingshan's voice was calm, but those familiar with him could detect a barely perceptible hint of satisfaction within it.

Fu Shaoping sheathed his sword and bowed respectfully: "This disciple has not failed in his mission."

He knew that from this moment on, he would officially enter the vision of the sect's higher-ups and face a wider world and greater challenges.

But his resolve to fight the sword remained unwavering.

His journey had only just begun.

Shen Qingshan's appearance was like a stabilizing force, instantly calming all the turmoil. That seemingly effortless yet devastating sword strike that annihilated a Core Formation cultivator was deeply etched in the hearts of all the surviving disciples, making them feel both the strength of their sect and their own insignificance.

Elder Li, suppressing his injuries, stepped forward to report: "Uncle-Master Shen, it's fortunate you intervened in time, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable. The Black Fiend Sect dared to launch a sneak attack deep into the heart of Qingxuan... This matter..."

Shen Qingshan slightly raised her hand to stop him from speaking, her gaze still fixed on Fu Shaoping: "To be able to attract a Core Formation demonic cultivator to personally intercept and kill you, what you obtained in the secret realm must be extraordinary."

His tone was calm, yet carried an undeniable authority. All the disciples on the wreckage of the flying boat, including Elder Li, held their breath, their gazes fixed on Fu Shaoping. Curiosity, envy, and awe were all intertwined.

Fu Shaoping knew that this matter could not be hidden, nor was there any need to hide it. He took a deep breath and said frankly, "Reporting to Master, I was fortunate enough to obtain the complete inheritance of the ancient 'Sunset Sword Dao' in the core of the secret realm, the 'Sword Pavilion,' and have integrated it into my own sword domain."

He didn't mention the three sword types, only saying "complete inheritance," but the words "ancient sword path," "complete inheritance," and "sword domain" were enough to be earth-shattering!
Elder Li gasped. Although he had guessed that Fu Shaoping had gained a great deal, he hadn't expected such an incredible opportunity! A complete ancient sword dao inheritance! This meant a direct path to the Great Dao! No wonder it attracted a Core Formation demonic cultivator who disregarded his status to come and intercept him!

The other disciples were even more shocked, looking at Fu Shaoping as if he were a legendary figure.

A barely perceptible ripple finally appeared on Shen Qingshan's usually placid face. He gave Fu Shaoping a deep look and nodded: "Good."

It was just one word, yet it carried immense weight. It contained recognition, approval, and perhaps even a subtle hint of expectation.

"This place is not safe to stay any longer. Let's return to the sect." Shen Qingshan said no more. With a flick of his sleeve, a gentle yet powerful force swept up all the disciples, including the broken wreckage of the flying boat, transforming them into a long blue rainbow that stretched across the sky. Its speed far exceeded that of the flying boat, heading straight for the Qingxuan Sect's mountain gate.

In a short while, the group arrived at the sect. Shen Qingshan took Fu Shaoping directly back to Luoxia Peak. As for how Elder Li would report to the sect and handle the follow-up matters, that was no longer Fu Shaoping's concern.

At the summit of Luoxia Peak, the sea of ​​clouds remains unchanged.

Shen Qingshan stood with his hands behind his back, his back to Fu Shaoping. He remained silent for a long time before finally speaking: "The Ancient Sunset Sword Dao... This inheritance is extraordinary and involves a great deal. Now that you have obtained it, it is both an opportunity and a cause and effect. In your future cultivation, you must always guard your sword heart, distinguish right from wrong, and never tarnish the reputation of this sword Dao, nor use it for evil."

"This disciple will remember Master's teachings," Fu Shaoping replied solemnly. (End of Chapter)
