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

"Heavenly Sword Soul - Condense!"

Om-!
The longsword in his hand emitted a resounding clang that pierced the heavens and earth! A massive, ten-zhang-tall phantom sword, solid as white jade, shot into the sky behind him! It was not formed from true qi, but from pure sword intent and the essence of the divine soul—a sword spirit!
The moment the sword spirit appeared, all the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on the entire dueling platform submitted to it and converged! Ling Juexiao's aura surged wildly, instantly breaking through the Foundation Establishment stage and touching the edge of Core Formation! The power of the sword energy around him increased several times, and the sword energy cage instantly closed, like a net from heaven and earth, to completely annihilate Fu Shaoping!

"It's over." Ling Juexiao swung his sword, and the sword spirit moved with it. A pure white sword aura, seemingly capable of splitting the heavens and the earth, carrying the power of a sword spirit that could crush everything, slashed down on Fu Shaoping in the cage!
This sword strike has far surpassed the Foundation Establishment stage! It is enough to severely injure or even kill someone in the early Core Formation stage!

A gasp rippled through the crowd! Everyone believed that Fu Shaoping's defeat was inevitable!

However, at the very moment the deadly sword descended, Fu Shaoping, who had been on the defensive, suddenly had an unprecedented divine light burst forth in his eyes!
"Sword Soul...you are not the only one who possesses it!"

He had been patient, observing, and waiting for Ling Juexiao to use this ultimate trump card!

Now, the time has come!
"Silence Awakens—Unsheath!"

A clear and melodious sword cry seemed to resound from the depths of the Nine Netherworlds! A sword light interwoven with dark red and chaos, like a sleeping ancient beast awakening, burst forth fiercely from Fu Shaoping's dantian, growing longer in the wind!

That was not a phantom, but a real entity! It was his natal flying sword, Jingji, which he had forged using his own Dao foundation, divine soul, and that strange stone containing the meaning of eternal icy silence!
The moment the Silence-Shocking Sword appeared, a sword intent far more ancient, profound, and chilling than Ling Juexiao's sword spirit erupted! It was end, annihilation, and reincarnation! It was the power of the Great Dao's rules, transcending mere sharpness!
"Sunset Sword Domain - The Beginning of Reincarnation!"

Fu Shaoping let out a long roar, and the Jingji Sword completely merged with his own Luoxia Sword Domain! The three realms of dawn, flowing clouds, and setting sun were no longer merely evolving, but under the command of the Jingji Sword, they began to form a miniature world prototype containing a trace of the true meaning of reincarnation!
Within the Sword Domain, the rosy glow is no longer just rosy glow, but the light of creation! The drifting clouds are no longer just drifting clouds, but the trajectory of destiny! The setting sun is no longer just a setting sun, but the cycle of world's end and rebirth!

This newly formed Cycle Sword Domain crashed head-on into Ling Juexiao's Heavenly Net and Heaven-Opening Sword Qi, which were imbued with the power of sword souls!
"Crack...Boom!!!"

There was no stalemate, only crushing defeat!
The seemingly indestructible Heavenly Gang Sword Qi cage shattered and disintegrated like fragile glass the moment it came into contact with the Samsara Sword Domain! The Heaven-Opening Sword Qi was directly drawn into, decomposed, and transformed into energy that nourished the sword domain by the "end and rebirth" essence within the Samsara Sword Domain!
For the first time, Ling Juexiao's flawless sword heart trembled violently and cracked! He looked in disbelief at how his invincible sword soul power was so vulnerable in the face of that strange chaotic sword domain!
"Impossible!!!" he roared in shock and anger, frantically urging his sword spirit to try and retaliate.

But Fu Shaoping will not give him another chance.

Man and sword become one, body transforms into reincarnation!
"Silent Strike - Reincarnation Slash!"

Fu Shaoping and the Jingji Sword completely merged into one, transforming into a chaotic reincarnation sword that cleaved through time and space, divided yin and yang, and defined life and death. It instantly pierced through all of Ling Juexiao's defenses, swept past his body, and appeared behind him.

Time seems to stand still at this moment.

Ling Juexiao's forward momentum came to an abrupt halt. He stiffly lowered his head, looking at the sword scar on his chest, as thin as a hair, yet seemingly "separating" him from his very being.

The Heavenly Gang Sword Soul behind him let out a mournful cry, shattered with a crash, and turned into countless points of light.

"My...sword..." he murmured to himself, his eyes filled with confusion and resentment. Then his eyes dimmed rapidly, his breath receded like the tide, and he fell straight forward.

Ling Juexiao, the unparalleled genius of the Heavenly Sword Sect, was defeated!
Fu Shaoping's figure slowly solidified, and the Jingji Sword let out a satisfied hum before disappearing into his body. His face was as pale as paper, and his body swayed slightly, clearly indicating that the final sword strike had exhausted all his mental and physical strength.

But he remained standing tall, in the center of the arena.

silence.

Deathly silence.

Immediately, like a volcanic eruption, the entire Sky Dome Mountain erupted with a deafening surge of energy!

"Fu Shaoping! Fu Shaoping won!"

"Qingxuan Sect! Fu Shaoping!"

"The Samsara Sword Domain! That's the Samsara Sword Domain!"

Countless gazes converged on the young man in the blue robe, filled with awe, reverence, and the excitement of witnessing the birth of a legend!
On the high platform, Shen Qingshan stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the figure below. A clear smile finally appeared on his usually calm face.

The champion of the Sky Dome Sword Tournament is Fu Shaoping of the Azure Profound Sect!

His name will surely resound throughout the entire cultivation world with today's battle!

A legend belonging to Luo Xia and the way of reincarnation swords begins here!
At the summit of Tianqiong Mountain, all was silent except for the howling mountain wind, which stirred up the remaining sharp sword intent on the dueling platform. All eyes, as if on a pilgrimage, were focused on the one and only figure standing upright—his green robes fluttered slightly, his expression calm, yet he possessed an invisible aura of dominance over the world.

Fu Shaoping.

From this moment on, this name no longer belongs solely to the Qingxuan Sect, but is imprinted on the pinnacle of the younger generation in the entire cultivation world, representing a brand new height in swordsmanship!
On the high platform, the guardian of Sky Dome Mountain, an elderly man with white hair and beard, whose aura was as unfathomable as an abyss, slowly rose from his seat. His gaze swept across the crowd below, finally settling on Fu Shaoping. His voice was calm, yet carried supreme authority, resounding throughout the surrounding area:
"The champion of the Celestial Sword Tournament has been decided."

"Qingxuan Sect, Fu Shaoping, ascends to the heavens, his sword suppressing his contemporaries!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a dazzling golden beam of light descended from the heavens, precisely enveloping Fu Shaoping! Within the beam of light lay an incomparably pure Heavenly Sword Intent and vast spiritual energy, which surged into his body like a sudden enlightenment!

This is the honor and reward of the champion of the Sky Dome Sword Tournament—the Sky Dome Initiation!
Fu Shaoping felt a jolt throughout his body. The Chaos Sword Essence, which had been depleted due to the final battle, recovered, expanded, and underwent a qualitative change at an unprecedented speed under the infusion of this immense power! His meridians were widened, his Qi Sea roared, and his divine sense grew wildly!
The barrier of the peak of the mid-stage Foundation Establishment was easily pierced like paper under the combined effect of this external force and its own solid foundation!
Foundation Building Stage Complete!

Moreover, his cultivation level did not stop rising until it steadily reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment, which was close to perfection, before the power of the empowerment slowly dissipated.

As the beam of light dissipated, Fu Shaoping's aura underwent a dramatic transformation, becoming more profound and restrained. Between the opening and closing of his eyes, chaotic radiance flowed, as if containing a newly opened world of reincarnation.

He felt the new power surging within him like a great river, and a deeper understanding of the Sunset Sword Dao, especially the true meaning of reincarnation. A slight ripple rose in his heart, which then subsided into calm.

This is just the beginning.

"This is the 'Heavenly Dome Sword Token'." The guardian elder waved his sleeve, and a token—neither gold nor jade, flowing with seven-colored light, with "Heavenly Dome" engraved on the front and "Chief" on the back—flew towards Fu Shaoping. "With this token, you can enter the 'Sword Intent Corridor' of Heavenly Dome Mountain for three days of meditation at any time, make one request to Heavenly Dome Mountain that does not violate morality, and it also signifies that you have obtained the qualification to enter the 'Ancient Sword Tomb'."

Ancient Sword Tomb!

A collective gasp rippled through the audience once more! That was the legendary secret realm where countless ancient sword immortals were buried, containing unparalleled sword dao inheritances and opportunities. It opened only once every thousand years, and only the most outstanding sword cultivators of each generation were qualified to step into it!

The value of this Celestial Sword Token is immeasurable!

Fu Shaoping solemnly accepted the token. It felt warm and smooth to the touch, and he could sense the immense sword intent it contained, along with a mysterious causal connection. "Thank you for your generous gift, Senior!"

The old guardian nodded slightly, his eyes filled with expectation: "I hope you will hold onto this sword with unwavering resolve, forge ahead with determination, and never fail the sword in your hand."

After he finished speaking, his figure slowly faded and disappeared from the spot.

The area around the dueling platform was already in an uproar!

The disciples of Qingxuan Sect were so excited that they could hardly contain themselves, and their cheers resounded through the sky! Shen Qingshan took a step forward and came to Fu Shaoping's side. Looking at him, she could not hide the joy and pride in her eyes.

"Well done." All the words in the world can be summed up in these four simple words.

Fu Shaoping bowed: "I will not fail my master's teachings."

At this moment, the elders leading other sects also stepped forward to offer their congratulations, their words filled with admiration and a desire to befriend the Qingxuan Sect, Shen Qingshan, and especially Fu Shaoping. Even the elders of the Tianjian Sect, though their expressions were unpleasant, maintained basic courtesy.

After this battle, Fu Shaoping is no longer a genius disciple who needs the protection of a sect, but a top expert who truly has the right to speak on equal terms with the older generation of powerhouses! His future is limitless.

Xiao Lie dragged his still-injured body over, patted Fu Shaoping's shoulder hard, and grinned, "Impressive! Damn, really impressive! Fu Shaoping, I, Xiao Lie, have never admired anyone in my life, you're the first! See you in the Ancient Sword Tomb then!"

Leng Ningshuang, Huiming, and even Luo Li, who had been defeated by Ling Juexiao's sword, all cast their gazes from afar, their eyes filled with complex emotions—admiration, fighting spirit, and a hint of relief. To be defeated by such an opponent was not unjust.

Fu Shaoping returned the greetings one by one, neither humble nor arrogant.

The Sky Battle has now come to a perfect end.

But Fu Shaoping knew that this was not the end.

Holding the Celestial Sword Token and gaining the qualification to enter the Ancient Sword Tomb means he is about to step onto a more magnificent and unpredictable stage. There, top geniuses and ancient traditions from the entire cultivation world, and even other realms, will gather.

His Sunset Sword Path and his Reincarnation Sword will surely face even greater challenges and shine even more brilliantly in that ancient tomb.

He did not linger in the hustle and bustle. After briefly explaining things to Shen Qingshan and his fellow disciples, he found a secluded place to consolidate his newly achieved late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation, digest what he had gained from the sword competition, and nurture a closer connection with the Jingji Sword.

His gaze had already turned to the distant and mysterious ancient sword tomb.

A new journey is about to begin.

And his sword, as always, will cut through all the fog and obstacles in his path, pointing straight to the pinnacle of the supreme sword path! The aftershocks of the Heavenly Sword Tournament have not yet subsided, and Fu Shaoping's name has already swept through the cultivation world like a storm. However, at the eye of the storm, he himself has returned to silence atop Sunset Peak.

His cultivation in the late Foundation Establishment stage needed consolidation, his understanding of the Samsara Sword Domain needed to settle, and the unity of man and sword with the Silence Sword required even more painstaking effort. He declined all visitors and congratulations, immersing his mind completely in cultivation.

As the "Star Sensing Technique" was activated, the power of the stars under the night sky flowed like a gentle stream into his ever-expanding ocean of divine consciousness, making his perception of the trajectory of heaven and earth increasingly acute. Within his dantian, the chaotic sword essence surged like the sea, with the Jingji Sword suspended within it. The sword's body, interwoven with dark red and chaos, trembled slightly, in sync with his heartbeat and breath, each rhythm bringing a deeper level of fusion.

The essence of the Sunset Sword Manual flowed through his heart. The cycle of dawn, flowing clouds, and setting sun was no longer just a change in sword moves, but also became the framework for his understanding of the birth and death of the world and the reincarnation of all things. That trace of the true meaning of reincarnation, which he had gained from the empowerment of the heavens and the insights from the final battle, sprouted quietly deep within the Sword Domain like a seed.

On this day, as he was channeling the sword intent of the morning glow to temper his meridians, he suddenly sensed something and opened his eyes. He saw a slight ripple in the void before him, and a bronze sword talisman with an ancient design and a faint chip at the edge silently appeared, exuding a desolate and ancient aura, faintly resonating with the Heavenly Sword Token within his body.

On the sword talisman, light flowed and condensed into a line of ancient seal script:

The Sword Tomb is about to open. The one who carries this order shall, three months later, gather at the Sword Abyss.

The ancient sword tomb is about to open!

Fu Shaoping's eyes narrowed, and he reached out to grasp the bronze sword talisman. It was icy to the touch, and a stream of information flooded his mind—information about the location of the Sword Burial Abyss and some basic taboos for entering the Sword Tomb.

"Three months..." he muttered to himself, a sharp glint in his eyes. Time was limited, and he needed to be fully prepared.

He first went to the top floor of the Myriad Manifestations Tower. This time, he wasn't looking for new cultivation techniques, but instead specifically to examine all the records about the ancient sword tomb. Unfortunately, the records mentioned it very little, and the few words they did mention were filled with terms like "extreme misfortune," "great opportunity," and "nine deaths and one life," as well as some descriptions of the ancient sword spirits, remnants of sword formations, and even ancient sword spirits that might exist within.

"Within the Sword Tomb, there are self-contained rules, isolating it from the outside world. Not only do it contain the inheritances and secret treasures left by ancient sword cultivators, but it is also filled with various dangers formed by their sword intent and obsession that refuses to be extinguished. Opportunity and death often coexist." This is a warning from a senior's notes.

Fu Shaoping noted down all the useful information, gaining a clearer understanding of the dangers of the Sword Tomb.

Subsequently, he used a large number of contribution points to exchange for several top-grade pills in the sect's treasury for life-saving, healing, and rapid recovery of true essence, as well as some talismans and array plates for dealing with special environments (such as extreme cold, blazing flames, poisonous miasma, and soul attacks). He also thoroughly inspected and refined the "Sun Chasing Boat" to ensure that it could play its maximum role at critical moments.

Finally, he entered the Sword Cleansing Pool again. This time, he wasn't honing his sword intent, but rather drawing upon the myriad sword intents within the pool to simulate the various sword auras and lingering attacks he might encounter in the Sword Tomb, thus preparing himself for the combat and attrition required in that environment.
