The path to immortality through martial arts begins with being forced into marriage!

As Cui Yi finished speaking, the two characters "replenishment" on the jade tablet suddenly lit up!

A soft light shone from the jade tablet, enveloping Cui Yi.

At the same time, the pagoda's notification sounded again.

"Cultivation technique detected: Xuan Tian Three Swords"

"Rank: Top grade Xuan level."

"Optimization and improvement are possible, estimated lifespan consumption: 200 years. Continue?"

Two hundred years.

Cui Yi's lips twitched slightly.

It takes two hundred years to reach the upper-grade Xuan rank, how much would it take to reach the Earth rank?

What about the Heavenly Ranks?

At the same time, I couldn't help but think to myself, "This pagoda really knows how to cater to different tastes..."

The 200 years of lifespan he had just gained after breaking through to the Core Formation Realm were taken away just like that.

Since I started using the pagoda, it seems that my remaining lifespan has never exceeded 10 years...

Every day is a mad dash to the brink of death; one wrong step and it's all over.

Despite his helplessness, Cui Yi never hesitated to spend his lifespan wisely or be stingy.

Now that my cultivation level is stable, it's always a good idea to enhance my attack methods!

The strength of one's inner energy is the foundation of cultivation, while the strength of one's martial arts skills lies in how to transform this foundation into real combat power!

"continue!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Cui Yi felt his lifespan draining away like a floodgate being opened!

Two hundred years of lifespan were instantly drained away!

Immediately afterwards, the light on the jade tablet shone brightly!

Countless mysterious runes flew out from the jade tablet, like a sky full of stars, surrounding Cui Yi completely.

The runes slowly spun around him, then disappeared one after another into his brow!

A massive amount of information flooded into his mind!

It was a reflection on the way of the sword.

Cui Yi felt a sudden explosion in his mind, as countless profound sword dao truths surged in like a tide, washing over his soul!

The first move of the Xuan Tian Three Swords, Demon Slayer, was originally just a lightning-fast piercing sword strike, specifically designed to break through the body's protective true energy.

But after filling the gap, this sword strike gained countless variations!

It can transform one sword into three swords, or three swords into nine swords. It can be real and fake, making it impossible for the opponent to defend against!

The malevolent power contained within the sword energy is even more concentrated; once it hits, the corrosive effect is amplified several times!

The second move, Soul Devouring, was originally just a splitting of several sword energies.

After the gaps are filled, those sword energies are no longer simple phantoms, but can be condensed into almost tangible sword energies!

After filling the gap, the third move, Opening Heaven, no longer requires a long period of charging up!

The moment the thought arises, the sword flashes!

The annihilating will contained within that sword light was even purer and more domineering, enough to sever all obstacles!

All the deductions were completed in the blink of an eye. Cui Yi's mind had just finished processing this information when his body had already mastered it simultaneously.

Cui Yi raised his hand and pointed his fingers like a sword, then gently slashed at the void in front of him.

An invisible sword aura shot out from his fingertips and disappeared in the air!

It only left a long-lasting white trail in the air!

Cui Yi withdrew his hand, a very faint smile curving his lips.

He only used the first move of the Xuan Tian Three Swords just now, and the speed and power of that move were too strong!

Now, I can kill any Core Formation cultivator with a wave of my hand!

Only those cultivators who possess powerful magical treasures could possibly withstand his one-finger killing move!

And Golden Core cultivators...

You'll only know for sure after trying it!

In the sea of ​​consciousness, the notification sound of the Floating Pagoda rang out at just the right time?

"The gaps have been filled, and the Three Swords of Xuantian have been optimized and perfected, with their grade upgraded to: Mid-Grade Earth Rank!"

From the upper-grade Xuan rank to the middle-grade Di rank, it spans an entire major rank.

In actual use, this grade can even reach the upper-grade of the Earth rank!

Those two hundred years of lifespan were totally worth it!

With his realm breakthrough and martial arts skills improved, Cui Yi's combat power underwent a qualitative leap, which greatly pleased him.

Just as he was about to test the power of the second move, his expression suddenly changed.

In the cultivation room, a beautiful, ethereal figure seemed to step out of nothingness and quietly landed beside him.

It is the moon!

Today she wore a plain white dress, her black hair cascading down her shoulders like a waterfall, and a faint smile graced her exquisitely beautiful face, which seemed otherworldly.

"senior?"

Cui Yi was slightly taken aback. "Why did you come out?"

Xi Yue said calmly, "You were doing your deductions earlier, so I didn't want to disturb you. Now that you've finished, come out and take a look."

"In just a few days, he has broken through from the Foundation Establishment Realm to the peak of the Core Formation Realm. Such progress is truly miraculous. The Floating Pagoda is indeed an ancient divine artifact."

Cui Yi smiled slightly, about to say something, when he suddenly remembered something.

"Senior, I have something I'd like to ask you."

"explain."

With a thought, the fake pill covered with Dao patterns in Cui Yi's dantian trembled slightly, and golden light faintly leaked out through his body.

"What exactly is this mark?"

Xi Yue glanced at him, remained silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke.

"The Dao patterns are the seeds of laws."

Cui Yi raised an eyebrow slightly.

law?

"The reason why cultivators at the Golden Core Realm and above can create such a vast gap with lower-level cultivators is not because their true essence is more abundant, nor because their physical bodies are stronger."

"But because of—the law."

"Golden Core cultivators touch the threshold of the laws, Nascent Soul cultivators gain a preliminary grasp of the laws, and Deity Transformation cultivators become one with the laws."

"And the starting point of all this is the Dao pattern."

Cui Yi's pupils contracted slightly, and he said thoughtfully, "So, Senior, you mean that the more Dao patterns one has, the stronger the laws one can comprehend?"

"more than."

Xi Yue shook her head. "The number of Dao patterns determines how many laws you can comprehend, and also determines the depth to which you can comprehend those laws."

After saying that, Xi Yue raised her jade hand and gently touched the air with her slender fingertips.

A glimmer of golden light emerged from her fingertip, within which countless fine lines could be faintly seen flowing.

"Ordinary Golden Core cultivators only have three or fewer Dao patterns on their Golden Core."

"Such a cultivator can only touch the edge of a law in his entire life, and his limit is to grasp even a tiny bit of it."

"Cultivators at the fourth to sixth level can initially grasp one law, and may even have the opportunity to touch upon a second one."

"Cultivators at the seventh to ninth level have the hope of mastering two or even three laws."

"However, such people are extremely rare. Most of the world's chosen ones are only around the Six Paths."

Cui Yi fell silent.

Looking at the fake pill in his dantian, covered with eight Dao patterns, he felt an indescribable emotion welling up inside him.

Even the chosen ones of heaven only have six paths, while he has already possessed eight paths before even breaking through to the Golden Core realm!

If this gets out, wouldn't it terrify people to death?

Cui Yi was just curious about how many laws he would be able to master when he broke through to the Golden Core Realm.

Xi Yue seemed to see through his thoughts and quickly asked, "You're thinking, with eight Dao patterns, how many laws can you master?"

Cui Yi nodded honestly, because he really wanted to know the answer to this question.

"have no idea."

Xi Yue's answer was surprisingly direct: "Because no one at your level has ever possessed so many Dao patterns!"

"No one in the world has ever possessed Dao patterns while in the Core Formation stage!"
