Forge your destiny into a sword, slash your soul and ascend to immortality

Chapter 208 Ten Years of Cultivation: The Beginner's Guide to the Azure Lotus
Jing Qian exhausted all his efforts and finally completely separated the systems of Chunyang and Yanfu.

The six reincarnations gathered together. From the perspective of their physical bodies, they were all of Pangu bloodline. From the perspective of their magical power, they all inherited Jing Qian's spiritual energy and destiny.

In terms of the compatibility between these incarnations, it can be described as perfect!
Among them, the [Feast God] is a [Celestial Being] who inherits the destiny of the [Pangu Embryo] and contains the [Bodhisattva Godhood]. He can walk the path of the gods and has the highest cultivation level, which is the first grade.

At this moment, bearing the title of Duke of Jing, he went into the Treasure Bottle Universe to attract the lock of God Egao on behalf of Jing Qian's true form, successfully freeing his true form.

The [Year God], being a [beast], inherited the power of the [Qi Li God Seal] and the [Dou Shuai Furnace], transforming into a black tiger and infiltrating the [Lianxin Great Sage Heaven] to infiltrate the [Blood Bead]'s circle.

[Su Shen] is a [human body] who only inherited the most basic [array nails] and [Great Zhou Tian Sumeru Sword Array]. His cultivation level is the lowest, and he has not even achieved the Dao.

[Su Shen] was sent by Jing Qian to the [Shanhe Tu Universe] as a seed to infiltrate the enemy, intending to join the [Qinglian Sword Sect] and seek the inheritance of refining [Sword Light] to enrich Jing Qian's sword cultivation.

[Chongshen] is a [Hell Body] who inherited the spiritual energy of [Yamfu Heaven], as well as the six [Heavenly Mandates] of [Yamfu Seal], [Bridge of Helplessness], [River of Oblivion], [Unending Other Shore], [Buddha's Salvation], and [Bitter Mist]. Furthermore, he successfully connected with the [Sumeru] dimension and obtained the mid-grade title of [Lord of Myriad Phenomena Sumeru].

Among the six incarnations, [Chongshen] will always be by Jingqian's side and serve as the administrator of the [Xumi] dimension, managing the environment and resources within that dimension for him.

The [Sacrificial God] is the [Great Asura Body], inheriting the destiny of [Good Corn] and the six [Original Qi].

The God of the Underworld is a hungry ghost, inheriting the destiny of the Hell Scroll and the two powerful spiritual resources of the Wheel of Reincarnation and the Book of Life and Death.

At this very moment, these two avatars have just been formed and are currently cultivating and refining themselves within the [Void Realm].

Jing Qian had already made proper arrangements for the fate of these two incarnations.

Among them, the [God of the Underworld] will take charge of the [Void God Court] that Jing Qian has just established and many [Destiny Ghost] teams.

Connecting various realms, nurturing newborn "Destiny Ghosts," and striving to manage a unique organization that spans the void—this is the mission of the "God of the Underworld."

The [Sacrifice], with [Good Corn] at its core, has been given a lucrative job fishing in the void, which perfectly matches [Good Corn]'s temperament and talents.

With so many clones, [Good Corn] has been freed from many administrative tasks and can now fully play the role of a fishing enthusiast.

Its sole mission is to sit securely within the [Sumeru] dimension, set traps, and search for hidden realms of varying sizes lurking in the shadows.

Jing Qian's strength has increased to the point where he can now sit comfortably on a fishing platform and fish in the void, just like a true high-ranking expert.

This is the most important means for top-tier cultivators to accumulate cultivation resources.

【Good Corn】has an extraordinary origin, with its family having passed down the top-tier fishing secrets of "Guerrilla Fishing in Rivers, Lakes and Seas" to ensure no fishermen go home empty-handed.

Previously, Jing Qian used him as a laborer to deal with various tribulations in his cultivation, which was really not his job.

Its most important task is to do what it's doing right now!

The combination of [Sacrifice to the Gods] and [Good Corn] is comparable to a great cultivator wholeheartedly exploring the void and accumulating resources, maximizing efficiency.

Each newly discovered realm serves as sustenance for Jing Qian's growth in the [Sumeru] dimension.

Just like his campaigns against [Mahakala] and [Insect Nest Heaven].

His foundation for enlightenment, the [Sumeru] dimension, requires a massive amount of resources to continue progressing.

Each of the six avatars in the cycle of reincarnation has its own division of labor and duties. For Jingqian's original body, this is a revolutionary qualitative change, and its benefits far exceed those of ordinary external avatars or puppet techniques.

First, he successfully freed his physical body from cultivation, allowing him to focus on the core path.

In the past, many complicated matters, such as managing the Divine Court, exploring the void, infiltrating other realms, dealing with powerful enemies, and even sorting out dimensions, all involved a great deal of Jing Qian's mind and time.

Now, these responsibilities have been perfectly taken over by the six incarnations, allowing Jingqian's main body to completely extricate itself from the endless quagmire of affairs and focus all its energy, wisdom, and enlightenment on sword cultivation.

This focus is the cornerstone for reaching higher levels.

Secondly, the efficiency of resource acquisition in Jingqian has increased exponentially.

For the cultivation of the [Yambuddha Path] itself, the fundamental function of the six realms of reincarnation is to accumulate resources and explore new areas at six times the speed in all aspects.

Ultimately, relying on an incredibly profound foundation, all of this was concentrated in one person, resulting in the most substantial magical power cultivation among the many lineages.

At its peak, each of the six reincarnations of the [Yanfu Dao Ancestor] possessed a level of magical power that could rival that of other [Dao Ancestors].

Jing Qian's current path of dismantling the [Yanfu] system is precisely the cultivation path that best aligns with the essence of the [Yanfu Dao] lineage.

Sword cultivators are skilled and pure, with sharp attacks, but they are difficult to accumulate magical power, and their cultivation speed cannot keep up with the increasing tribulations, making them extremely prone to death.

The cycle of reincarnation is profound and complex, emphasizing accumulation and assimilation, and it allows for extensive use of external forces to enhance one's own spiritual practice.

However, he is heavy but lacks sharpness, making him a warrior with low attack and high defense. Moreover, with such a complex path, he is prone to mental splits, just like the [Yanfu Daozu].

Jing Qian, by utilizing the [Coffin of Heaven and Man], perfectly balanced the strengths and weaknesses of both, forming a powerful framework within his own sword cultivation, with reincarnation taking place outside.

That's absolutely fantastic!

Furthermore, running multiple lines of work in parallel and complementing each other's paths can broaden Jingqian's horizons infinitely.

The six incarnations walk in different paths and realms. Although their sights, sounds, experiences, and insights have different focuses, they are all ultimately fed back into Jingqian's original consciousness through the mysterious connection of the six realms of reincarnation.

This allowed Jingqian's cultivation to expand beyond a single perspective, encompassing a broad vision and profound insights covering all realms and all beings in the six realms.

The mysteries of the Way of Heaven and Man, the survival of the fittest in the animal realm, the myriad aspects of human life, the karmic cycle of hell...

These insights collide, corroborate, and merge with each other, greatly enriching Jingqian's understanding of the rules of the universe, providing an incredibly solid foundation for his path, and an inexhaustible source of inspiration.

The Six Paths of Reincarnation Incarnation System is not only an extension of Jing Qian's power, but also the wind spirit and moon shadow that accelerates his path, and the heavenly ladder that supports him to climb to higher peaks and achieve true immortal greatness.

In contrast, the sword cultivation he internalized into his body was the direction of his Dao heart, the direction of his will, and the destiny of his fate!
If he wants to achieve great things in swordsmanship, he must overcome the hurdle of dismantling the [Yanfu Dao] system.

After all, if his sword intent is impure and his sword heart is flawed, he cannot condense a sword slash of the [Divine Light] level, and the strongest advantage of the sword path cannot be fully utilized.

The [spiritual energy] and [destiny] that he currently retains within his body are only related to the [pure yang] sword path.

If the panel is also divided into the main body and the clone, upon closer inspection, his personal information has been completely changed!

[Host: Jing Qian]

[Lifespan: 2341 years]

[Destiny number: 1.5 taels / 16.8 taels]

【Nine Desolate Immortal Qi: 28】

[Title: Superior Grade*2, Medium Grade*1]

[Dharma Image: The Sage of Mount Sumeru wielding a sword opens the cycle of six realms of reincarnation]

[Spiritual Inspiration: Fleeting Eternal Eye, Yin Extreme, Sumeru, Pure Yang, Ritual, Azure Lotus Sword Box]

[Destiny: Time Sequence, Sumeru, Green Duckweed End, Worldly Solution, Entangled Cause and Effect, Sword Transformation into Three Thousand Tribulations, Formless Sword, Spirit Sword Mountain, Heavenly Court of Swords, Void Opening]

Within the entire entity, the core system consists almost entirely of time, space, and swordsmanship.

For Jing Qian, after the [Coffin of Heaven and Man] divided the two major systems, a path to becoming a sword immortal through time and space has almost emerged!
He is also very much looking forward to it!

During the process of separation, the entanglement of fate between his [inspiration] and [destiny] was also completely broken and reshaped.

From then on, he almost completely returned to the Pure Yang and the Jambudvipa.

This is deeply related to his subsequent cultivation at the [Mending the Heavens] realm!
At this moment, let's take stock of the cultivation elements within his body.

The [Sumeru Immortal Sword Embryo] carries the destiny of [Sumeru], making it the most important foundation for cultivation!

The Pure Yang Immortal Sword Embryo carries the destiny of Spirit Sword Mountain and can nurture all the true meanings of the sword path with the Pure Yang sword intent.

The Yin-Yang Immortal Sword Embryo carries the destiny of the Void-Opening Sword. It is an extremely Yin sword that can evade the void, making it the number one assassin.

The [Sacrificial Immortal Sword Embryo] carries the destiny of the [Invisible Sword], combining the Soul-Slaying Sword with the Shadowless Form. In terms of wonder and strangeness, none can surpass it.

Within the eye of the 【Eye of Eternal Moment】 lies the three great 【Destinies】: 【Worldly Understanding】, 【Entanglement of Cause and Effect】, and 【Sword Transformation into Three Thousand Calamities】.

Behind this pupil, there are still six [Original Qi] Heavenly Mandates that have left three or four gaps in [Destiny], indicating immense potential.

The Qingping Sword Box contains the Qingping End within it, which evolves into the fundamental sword energy. It also connects to the sequence of time, forming the most important divine phenomenon of "shortening lifespan and wishing longevity".

Everything else, both important and trivial, has been completely stripped off from the [Qingping Sword Box].

This sword box still possesses the power to hold seven coins of destiny.

Upon closer examination of Jing Qian's true form, the only thing that truly occupies the gap in his destiny is the Heavenly Court of the Sword!

This cultivator who "shots the sun" has a lifespan of sixteen taels and eight mace.

Even excluding the gap above the [Spiritual Ability], the main body alone can still hold 15.3 taels of [Destiny].

He can still condense at least a dozen more sword techniques [Heavenly Mandate]!
It can be said that its foundation is incredibly profound and its future is incredibly promising!
Relatively speaking, most cultivators, in their cultivation at the [Mending Heaven] level, would consider it passing if they could cultivate two or three more [Heavenly Mandates].

If one can cultivate five or six [Heavenly Mandates], one can be considered to have exceptional talent, at least a [Master of Divine Talent] or even a [World-Amazing Talent]!

As for the Forbidden Child who can cultivate seven or eight [Heavenly Mandates] and the Eternal Demon who can cultivate ten [Heavenly Mandates], they are extremely rare.

Only exceptional geniuses like Jing Qian, who can easily cultivate more than a dozen additional [Heavenly Mandates], are qualified to glimpse the [Sequence God] realm in the [Myriad Dimensions Dragon Nest] Dragon Arena within the [Nine Dragon Cauldron Universe].

Jing Qian's cultivation of "Mending the Heavens" requires several times more work than that of ordinary cultivators, but he enjoys it immensely!
During this process, each additional [Heavenly Mandate] he cultivates doubles his magical power.

Thanks to the divine power of the [Celestial Coffin], he has an unimaginable margin for error.

Even the many sword paths [Destiny] he has already cultivated can be easily replaced if a more suitable one becomes available. He might even become a perfect [Pure Yang Master] where all his [Destiny] are in harmony with the sword path.

This is unprecedented in the history of [Pure Yang Heaven]!

Even Chi Miao, the reincarnation of Lingbao, cannot compare to him.

Right now, Jing Qian only lacks a sufficiently strong swordsmanship inheritance to fill his enormous gap.

He was already incredibly thirsty!
He also had his eye on the two great lineages of the Azure Lotus Sword Sect and the Xuanyuan Sword Sect.

It can be said that Jing Qian's advancement to the [Sun Shooting] realm was a complete rebirth.

He has too many lessons to learn in his spiritual practice.

He lay quietly within the [Void Realm], carefully examining his own cultivation system.

The six avatars worked separately, so he didn't need to worry about them at all.

His true form, however, entered into a deep period of seclusion.

In spiritual practice, one doesn't keep track of years; ten years passed in the blink of an eye.

……

The demon capital of [Lianxin Dashengtian] is located in the middle of the ocean, on the back of an incredibly huge [Xuanwu], and is a true holy land for demon cultivation.

Only those with the most superior demon bloodlines can enter the Demon Capital to cultivate and share in the resources and heritage of the [Great Sage Heaven] demon race.

On this day, a black dog of mixed blood, carrying a chubby tiger cub on its back, crossed the sea.

Black Dog's life is tough!
Nicknamed Blackie, it was once a mountain king in its hometown, living a comfortable life and raising its own sleek, shiny pelts.

But after leaving home, the tiger cub on its back would eat its fill and then sleep, and wake up and then eat again. It was probably because it had the blood of the "gluttonous beast" and had an enormous appetite.

Since it was newly born and had almost no ability to survive independently, the task of feeding it fell entirely on the black dog.

Right now, it hasn't had a proper meal in almost half a year.

The wealth accumulated in the Dimensional Ring has been completely depleted.

If this tiger cub is sent to the Demon Capital and fails the bloodline test for the Holy Son candidate, it will surely break through its defenses.

Among the demon race, those with strong bloodlines can be called holy sons.

Beasts can be represented by the "Qilin Child" or "Suanni Child," birds by the "Phoenix Child" or "Golden Crow Child," and snakes and insects by the "Heavenly Dragon Child" or "Golden Cicada Child."

The true elites among them are comparable to the top-tier Dharma lineage disciples among human cultivators!

However, compared to human cultivators, the demon race places greater emphasis on bloodline and has a strict hierarchy.

If you can't pass the bloodline test, no matter how hard you try later in life, you won't be able to enter the circle and will sink to the bottom.

The harder one cultivates, the stronger one's flesh and blood become, and the more likely one is to be chosen as food by the talented monsters in the circle.

Blackie's bloodline is weak, so he has no future among the demon race.

If it wants a better future, it has no choice but to curry favor with powerful figures!
It had high hopes for the little black tiger on its back.

At this moment, as it slowly walked into the main gate of the Demon Capital, the little black tiger on its back was still fast asleep, and a chilling, malevolent aura descended upon Blackie.

A crimson serpent suddenly descended from the city wall of the Demon Capital, its head and horns fierce, its eyes icy, and its body ten zhang long.

The giant snake flicked its tongue, its half-body coiling around Blackie and Black Tiger several times, scrutinizing them. It then deeply inhaled Black Tiger's scent before speaking:
"Welcome the candidate [Suanni Zi] into the city, along with his accomplice ghost and rotten dog!"

The snake's voice was like a soft chant, quite melodious, which was quite different from its appearance.

Upon hearing this, Rotten Dog Blackie finally breathed a sigh of relief. His legs, which had been trembling with fear from the giant snake, finally regained some balance.

[Sui Shen] has absolute confidence in his bloodline talent; the tiger body nurtured by the [Pangu bloodline] is sufficient to pass any bloodline identification.

However, Blackie was still extremely nervous about the test that could determine his fate.

Having passed the first hurdle and gained entry into the Demon Capital for further bloodline testing, it can be said that the start was excellent.

Carrying the [Year God] on its back, it timidly entered the city of the Demon Capital.

……

The boundary structure of the 【Mountain and River Map Universe】 is a masterpiece of craftsmanship, magnificent and unparalleled.

Its main body is not an ordinary starry sea, but is composed of three thousand [mountain realms] and a star river that runs across the universe.

Those three thousand [mountain realms] are not isolated islands floating in the void, but rather like the backbone and internal organs of the universe, deeply rooted in the spatial structure.

Each of the [Mountain Realms] is immense and unique in appearance, with a foundation no less profound than that of the [Yingfu Pagoda Realm].

What connects these three thousand mountain realms, each with its own unique atmosphere, is the Milky Way that stretches across the universe!

It is not made up of stars, but a real, vast river flowing with liquid starlight and pure primordial energy!
It is a unique tributary that was separated from the Sea of ​​Primordial Qi by the great power of the [Mountain and River Map Universe].

In its widest parts, it can accommodate several large mountain passes running side by side; in its turbulent parts, the rapids surge and shimmer with a dangerous, eerie blue light; in its calmer parts, the river surface is like a mirror, reflecting the majestic posture of the towering mountain passes, tranquil and profound.

This galaxy is the lifeblood and link of the [Mountain and River Map Universe].

Countless boats, shuttles, and even figures riding swords, shimmering with various magical lights, traversed the Milky Way like sparks of starlight.

This is the main passage connecting the three thousand [Mountain Realms]. Cultivators in this realm use their magical power to carve out channels in the rapids and traverse between spatial vortices, which is itself a form of cultivation.

Its pure primordial energy is not only one of the sources that nourish the three thousand [Mountain Realms], but also the place where all cultivators attain enlightenment.

Among these three thousand [Mountain Realms], there is a majestic realm shaped like a lotus just beginning to bloom, located at the very top of the starry river, and also the place with the most abundant primordial energy.

Inside, there are layers upon layers of mountains, like giant flower petals, and seventy-two main peaks that stand straight as swords, piercing the sky.

This [Mountain Realm], called [Azure Lotus Mountain], is the location of the renowned [Azure Lotus Sword Sect] lineage within the [Mountain and River Map Universe].

Occupying the uppermost part of the Milky Way, the Qinglian Mountain is naturally rich in vital energy, with a large population and a flourishing civilization.

However, after being kicked into the "Mountain and River Map Universe" by Jing Qian, it took him three whole years to finally find his way into the "Azure Lotus Mountain".

He firmly suppressed his own process of entering the Dao [Destiny Establishment], and continued to accumulate the realm of nourishing vital energy.

The ability to traverse a significant portion of the [Mountain and River Map Universe] and span numerous [Mountain Realms] is entirely due to the [Nine Desolate Immortal Qi] and [Eternal Eye of Moment] borrowed from the [Tracing God]'s original body.

He spent so much time and resources for only one purpose: to successfully become a disciple of the Azure Lotus Sword Sect and obtain its fundamental inheritance.

We are about to achieve our goal!
The Azure Lotus Sword Sect is not like the Pure Yang Heaven, which has a small number of members.

It has been operating Qinglian Mountain for many years, supporting a population of over 10 billion, and relying on it as a source of replenishment for new disciples.

Its system architecture alone is much more complete than that of [Chunyang Tian].

Within Qinglian Mountain, there are seventy-two main peaks for swordsmanship.

Each main peak represents the lineage and tradition of a sword-wielding sect.

The so-called "Azure Lotus Sword Sect" is actually a grand alliance composed of seventy-two sword sects within "Azure Lotus Mountain".

These sects all operate under the name of the Azure Lotus Sword Sect, but internally, the seventy-two sects are engaged in a fierce infighting, vying for disciples, resources, and future prospects.

Every sixty years is a cycle, and only when one truly outstanding and brilliant cultivator emerges from among the seventy-two sects can they be considered qualified to compete for the title of "Azure Lotus Seed".

On average, it takes five rounds of selection to truly cultivate a [Green Lotus Seed].

This unique system ensures that [Azure Lotus Seed] will be the strongest person of his generation cultivated in the entire realm.

In terms of the intensity of competition, the environment that [Qinglianzi] faces is much more severe than that of [Chunyangzi].

For Jing Qian, the most important thing is to adapt to this system, find a suitable sect, and seek the inheritance of the Azure Lotus Sword Sect for himself.

Among the Seventy-Two Sects of the Azure Lotus, each has its own strengths, just like the seventy-two lotus petals supporting the sky of swordsmanship.

Taibai Peak tempers its body with thunder, its sword strikes like a silver dragon breaking the dawn; Zixiao Sect condenses its blade with ice and snow, the void freezes where the cold light passes; Chixia Cave refines the true qi of the Fire Phoenix, its sword qi burns the sky yet leaves three parts of life; Xuangui Cliff's master cultivator is as immovable as a mountain, his heavy sword without edge can withstand a million soldiers.

Furthermore, Yunsuo Pavilion uses lightness and agility to enter the Dao, transforming into a stream of light to traverse the Milky Way; Guifu Cliff forges star iron, its sword intent as heavy as a mountain; Shuyu Palace uses sound waves to control swords, where the sound of the zither rises and all swords return to their origin.

The seventy-two techniques competed for attention, including unparalleled killing techniques and unorthodox methods, like thousands of pearls splashing up when the Milky Way reverses, each shining brightly yet forming a unified whole.

However, although the Seventy-Two Sects of the Azure Lotus each have their own unique characteristics, in reality, these characteristics only exist in the differences of their alternative methods.

Among these sects, the true fundamental principle of cultivation, the "orthodox method," is actually completely unified: the fundamental Daoist scripture of the Azure Lotus Sword Sect, the "Azure Lotus Sword Song Daoist Book."

Needless to say, this "Azure Lotus Sword Song Dao Book," a secret transmission from the Dao Ancestor, is the ultimate goal for the "Tracing God" who traveled thousands of miles to the "Mountain and River Map Universe"!

Fortunately, there are as many as seventy-two sects that can inherit this [Taoist Book] for him. He can easily gain something by joining any of them, which undoubtedly reduces the difficulty of obtaining it.

Combining his [Array Nail] inspiration with the [Great Zhou Heaven Sumeru Sword Formation] destiny, [Tracing the God] did not spend much time selecting his target.

It was the [Inquiry Peak], the sect most skilled in sword formation techniques among the seventy-two sects.
