I can increase my power through breathing.

Chapter 79: With the emergence of the Golden Core, all are invincible; a thousand-year-old sect is wiped out in a single day.

The countless strands of sword intent, though seemingly thin, were extremely resilient. Under their entanglement, the black dragon claw gradually slowed down.

In the void, more and more fine threads appeared, even beginning to entangle the Poison Dragon Banner, making it difficult to change or break free.

In the contest between the two Spirit-Nourishing level weapons, the Thousand Rain Sword of the Myriad Swords Sect seemed to have the upper hand, suppressing the Poison Dragon Banner.

However, Zhou Qing was not surprised.

After all, the Poison Dragon Banner in his hand had only recently reached the Spirit-Nurturing level, while the Thousand Rain Sword had been nurturing its spirituality for many years and had even been nurtured by more than one Grandmaster of the Myriad Swords Sect, making its foundation much deeper.

"It's time to end it!"

Having verified the power of the Poison Dragon Banner, Zhou Qing had no intention of delaying any longer. With a thought, the Primordial Golden Pill flew out from his dantian.

The Primordial Golden Elixir suddenly began to spin.

Zhou Qing's 108 spiritual apertures and 360 primordial spiritual veins were also activated to their fullest extent, forming a unified whole with the spiritual apertures, spiritual veins, and golden core.

In that instant, Zhou Qing felt a mysterious resonance with this world, and a closer connection was formed between them.

He entered a state of oneness with nature.

With the blessing of the state of oneness with heaven and man, the power of intent that Zhou Qing mastered became even more terrifying.

Each kind of artistic conception represents a kind of power of heaven and earth.

Zhou Qing mastered a total of twenty kinds of intent power, which meant that twenty kinds of heaven and earth power pressed down on the Grand Supreme of the Myriad Swords Sect.

"what!"

"Harmony between humanity and nature!"

At this moment, the Grand Elder of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect's expression changed drastically.

Although he did not break through to the Grandmaster level, the Myriad Swords Sect has books about the Grandmaster realm.

Zhou Qing's current state is a unique characteristic of Grandmasters: a state of oneness with heaven and man, as if he has become one with heaven and earth.

In the state of oneness with heaven and man, the power of intent transforms into the power of heaven and earth. That vast power is like a rolling torrent, endless and far exceeds the limits that a grandmaster can withstand.

Furthermore, Zhou Qing possesses more than one kind of power of artistic conception.

There were a total of twenty kinds of heaven and earth power, which crushed towards the Grand Supreme of the Myriad Swords Sect. The thousands of strands of sword intent in the void were instantly crushed and broken.

Keng!
The Thousand Rain Sword, a Grandmaster-level spiritual weapon, trembled violently, as if it could not withstand the terrifying force that was crushing down upon it.

This power was so terrifying that even spiritual weapons could not withstand it, let alone the Grand Elder of the Myriad Swords Sect, who was the first to face this vast and mighty force.

puff!
In an instant, the Grand Elder of the Myriad Swords Sect exploded.

The bodies of the Wanjian Sect disciples, sect leaders, elders, and Eagle Wolf Guard warriors on the main peak below all exploded like fireworks at the same time, turning into blood mist.

Twenty vast forces of heaven and earth pressed down, and whether they were acquired martial artists or innate grandmasters, they were no different from ants.

At this moment, a crystal the size of a fist floated in the void.

This is a 'real' pill.

It should be noted that the two masters Zhou Qing had previously killed, Jiang Zhu, the sect leader of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, and Zhao Qianqiu, the leader of the Golden Eagle Envoy, both ranked in the top twenty of the Earth Ranking, had only refined fake pills. Even if a pill was refined to seventy-two cycles, it would still be a fake pill.

However, the Grand Elder of the Myriad Swords Sect has refined a true elixir, which has the potential to break through to the Grandmaster realm, thus possessing the qualities of a Grandmaster.

Of course, having that potential and actually being able to break through to the Celestial Realm and become a Grandmaster are two completely different things.

Zhou Qing grabbed the True Pill and threw it into the Poison Dragon Banner to feed the spirit that the banner was nurturing, allowing the spirit to grow stronger quickly.

Then, Zhou Qing reached out and grabbed the Thousand Rain Sword.

hum~~~
The Thousand Rain Sword trembled violently in Zhou Qing's palm, trying to escape, but Zhou Qing's palm was like a world unto itself, and no matter how much the Thousand Rain Sword struggled, it was to no avail and could not break free.

Zhou Qing's consciousness surged into the Thousand Rain Sword, erasing the mental imprint left by the Grand Elder of the Myriad Swords Sect, and then imprinting his own mental imprint upon it.

Qian Yujian gradually calmed down.

Although a spirit weapon of the "spirit-nurturing" level has given birth to a spirit, it is only a vague consciousness, not even as good as a three-year-old child.

Therefore, as long as a spiritual imprint can be placed on it, it can be used. However, if it were a spiritual weapon of the Transformation level, it would be a different story.

The spirits born from the Transformation-level spiritual weapons already possess considerable intelligence and can communicate with humans. Even without the control of their masters, they can fight on their own initiative.

If one cannot gain the approval of the weapon spirit, then imprinting a spiritual mark on the weapon will be extremely difficult.

Of course, if one has the power to forcibly erase the weapon spirit, it will cooperate under duress. Once a weapon spirit gains intelligence and can communicate, it means it also fears death.

Strictly speaking, a spirit can also be considered a living being.

After successfully refining the Thousand Rain Sword, Zhou Qing retrieved the Primordial Golden Core and exited the state of oneness with heaven and man. Then, his voice resounded in the minds of the Wanjian Sect disciples scattered across various peaks outside the main peak of the Wanjian Sect.

"From this day forward, the Ten Thousand Swords Sect is disbanded!"

"Anyone who dares to call themselves a disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect or act under the banner of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect will be an enemy of Zhou, and Zhou will pursue them to the end without mercy!"

Zhou Qing's voice was icy cold, containing endless killing intent, causing all the Wanjian Sect disciples to tremble in their hearts.

They knew that the Ten Thousand Swords Sect was finished.

The Grand Elder, the Sect Master, the Elders, and other high-ranking officials were all killed.

Zhou Qing naturally wouldn't allow anyone to take away or circulate the precious scriptures of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect. Moreover, the lower-level disciples of each peak didn't have much of a sense of belonging, and under Zhou Qing's threat, no one dared to travel the world as a disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.

Over time, the Ten Thousand Swords Sect will be forgotten and erased from the world.

Disciples from all peaks of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect immediately packed their belongings and descended the mountain.

Zhou Qing, on the other hand, arrived at the Sword Sect's Scripture Pavilion.

"The Lone Peak and the Setting Sun Sword": Cultivating a desolate sword intent.

"Azure Lotus Purifying Sword": Cultivate the Purifying Sword Intent to overcome evil spirits and become immune to all poisons.

"Formless Sword Qi": Cultivating the Formless Sword Intent.

"The Sword of a Thousand Threads": Cultivating the sword intent of a thousand threads.

……

The number of innate cultivation manuals in the Ten Thousand Swords Sect is roughly comparable to the number of innate cultivation manuals in the Great Wei Dynasty's treasure trove that Zhou Qing obtained.

These techniques are all related to swords and cultivate sword intent, but the sword intent that is cultivated is completely different.

This is similar to water, which has solid, liquid, and gaseous states, each with its own unique artistic conception. There are flowing water, gentle water, ocean waves, the vast ocean, misty atmosphere, cold air, ice, water dripping on stone, blizzard, snow mountain, and so on.

Water alone can give rise to hundreds of artistic conceptions, and a sword can also possess hundreds of different sword intents.

Zhou Qing still has five Dao Source Points left unused.

He reviewed all these innate cultivation techniques, which appeared on the panel, and then poured Dao Source Points into ten of them.

hum~~~
A familiar feeling arises.

Images of tireless dedication and day-and-night arduous practice flashed through my mind.

[After one year of arduous training, you comprehended the Desolate Sword Intent Seed and the Purifying Sword Intent Seed; after two years of arduous training, you comprehended the Formless Sword Intent Seed and the Thousand Threads Sword Intent Seed… After five years of arduous training, you comprehended the Annihilation Sword Intent Seed and the Heartfire Sword Intent Seed.]

[You have integrated these seeds of artistic conception into the Primordial Golden Elixir.]

You have mastered a total of thirty different realms of power.

With the infusion of ten more types of spiritual power into the Primordial Golden Core, Zhou Qing clearly felt that the Primordial Golden Core had grown significantly stronger, and his strength had been further enhanced.

"Not bad!"

Zhou Qing nodded in satisfaction.

Based on the assumption that one can comprehend two different states of mind each day, the maximum amount of states of mind that the Hunyuan Golden Pill can integrate will be reached in just ten days.

At that time, it will absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to allow the Primordial Golden Core to grow to its limit, and transform all the power of intent it incorporates into the realm to the Transformation Domain level.

Zhou Qing left the Scripture Pavilion and headed to the Ten Thousand Swords Sect's treasury.

Whoosh!
Just then, a figure came rushing from afar.

Zhou Qing stopped and looked at the person who had come.

The other person was dressed in a noble purple robe, embroidered with eagle and wolf patterns.

The Eagle Wolf Guard is divided into four levels: Black, Crimson, White, and Gold. Above the Golden Wolf Commander and Golden Eagle Envoy, the only one who wears a purple robe is Ling Tianyue, the Governor of the Eagle Wolf Guard.

"You are late!"

Zhou Qing said calmly.
