I changed the world.

Zhang Jingzheng was practicing in an open space, holding a long sword in each hand. While his right-hand sword was swinging and thrusting, his left-hand sword would occasionally fly out of his hand like a streak of light, cutting a tree more than seventy meters away as thick as a person's waist in half. The sword would then spin around at an extremely high speed before returning to his hand.

He learned it from a jade tablet used for martial arts called "Spinning Sword." The techniques on this jade tablet were quite difficult to master, so he only began to learn them gradually after reaching the second rank.

This kind of martial art, in terms of pure swordsmanship skills, has many commonalities with some later swordsmanship techniques, such as the swordsmanship of Mount Dayue, and can be mutually learned from.

After all, for a human being, the body is nothing more than two hands, two feet, facing all four directions and eight directions. Within the offensive circle, there are actually no more than ten core techniques that can be used. The rest are mostly about how to combine and evolve them.

However, in terms of the use of energy and the refinement and communication of swords, this ancient technique has its own unique features, which have greatly benefited Zhang Jing. In particular, this technique has begun to involve the skills of controlling the weapon after it leaves the hand.

This allowed him to gradually control weapons within a certain distance using his divine sense and qi, striking enemies at incredible angles and speeds. This already resembled the "flying swords" from Zhang Jing's previous life's novels. However, according to the information Zhang Jing had obtained, there were indeed flying sword techniques in the Heavenly Venerable Path, but those could only be mastered after reaching the third rank.

After practicing for a while, Zhang Jing stopped, sheathed his two longswords, and focused on assessing his injuries. With two days of dedicated healing, his injuries had almost completely healed. It has to be said that the Demon Refining Pot is truly a holy grail for healing.

Speaking of the Demon Refining Pot, Zhang Jing discovered a surprising fact: the spiritual liquid in the pot had increased dramatically, enough for him to advance his cultivation to the third level.

He pondered this for a long time, concluding that it was likely due to the Heavenly Punishment Sword possessing him that day, causing him to slay the monster, and the Demon Refining Pot absorbing the monster's soul—a truly serendipitous turn of events. However, it also indirectly revealed that the monster's rank was actually much higher than his current strength.

However, the fact that the Heavenly Punishment Sword had inexplicably "possessed" him still worried Zhang Jing. Although he had managed to get through this situation relatively smoothly and even benefited from it, he couldn't guarantee that something even more outrageous might happen next time. Uncontrollable power, no matter how strong, was still somewhat unacceptable to him.

However, having experienced this "possession," Zhang Jing gained a more direct understanding of the immense power contained within the Heavenly Punishment Sword. Furthermore, while possessed by the sword, Zhang Jing could also more clearly perceive the sword's condition. From his perception at the time, the sword was in a severely damaged state, just as the blade itself was visible to the naked eye. What "possessed" him was actually a remnant of will within the sword. It must be said that the fact that this will could persist for thousands of years and still "possess" him was truly incredible to Zhang Jing.

What kind of powerful being could possess such a terrifying and awe-inspiring will?!

Fortunately, this will itself did not have its own consciousness. It was only activated by the powerful "demon" power at the time. The demons that this will spoke of were actually, according to some records that Zhang Jing had read when he read "Nine Abyss" before, a general term used by humans in ancient times to refer to those powerful and cruel alien beings. The one he had faced before seemed to be some kind of powerful void creature, based on Zhang Jing's observation.

In fact, demons of this level are quite rare, and this one might have been summoned as a side effect of Zhang Jing's wish...

Zhang Jing pondered that he absolutely needed to fully master the power within the Heavenly Punishment Sword, and also completely repair it. If he could do this, his power would undoubtedly rise several levels. Of course, the number of wish points required would certainly be considerable.

Zhang Jing opened the wishing book, preparing to check the current increase in wishing points:

Chapter 138 Shark

Special Event: A statue of a famous Taoist priest from the Southern Qi Dynasty was discovered at a road repair site near Banshan Pavilion in Yunhu, the main urban area of ​​Linzhou…

Your actions have led to the "Celestial Master Manifestation Incident"... which has already attracted attention on a small scale.

Your actions have caused a slight disturbance to some people's understanding of materialism and metaphysics, and this disturbance is currently expanding.

A total of 74340 wish points have been added.

Wish: I wish that I will have good luck in the events to come.

That wish has been fulfilled.

15000 wish points have been deducted.

Special Event: Members of the Pendulum Society of Tianfu University, during a club activity, erected a Void Beacon near the ancient pagoda on Chaoyang Mountain in Linzhou City, Jiangdong Province, summoning the Void creature Nirkicaberon to descend. You witnessed this scene and, empowered by the ancient will within the "Heavenly Punishment Sword," slew the Void creature Nirkicaberon.

Some citizens witnessed the entire incident, and some even filmed parts of it and uploaded them to the internet.

Military agencies observed energy responses during the battle and launched an investigation.

Your actions have led to a significant change in some people's understanding of materialism and metaphysics, and have caused a slight disturbance to the consciousness of the world's bottom layer, which is still expanding.

A total of 3251 wish points have been added.

Zhang Jing glanced at the wishing points on the back cover. There were currently 68208 wishing points remaining, showing a very rapid upward trend.

In addition, Zhang Jing made a delightful discovery. While practicing his swordsmanship earlier, he realized that after advancing from the "Hidden Egg" stage to the "Koi" stage, his power had been in a phase of rapid increase followed by relative instability. His body was constantly adjusting itself due to this increase. Now, however, this increase in power has completely stabilized. In other words, he has completely mastered his current level of power.
