Unreliable Sword Immortal.

"That was so exciting!"

Lu Chao didn't waste any time and quickly ascended the second step by riding a tiger and controlling the ship.

"Ding! You have arrived at the second level of the Ancient Path of the Primordial Dust. Congratulations! You have obtained 1 Unreliable Lottery Ticket and 100 Hunyuan Crystals. The items have been automatically sent to your storage space. Please check them yourself!"

"Ding! You can automatically gain cultivation points in this area. Please explore on your own."

"Ding! You may continue only after defeating any of the Hongchen Sword Spirits ahead."

"Ding, system notification: If you fail to challenge the Hongchen Sword Spirit, you will become the Hongchen Sword Spirit and remain here. Only after defeating the new Lin Daoist can you continue your journey."

With the system notification, Lu Chaoding saw the scene above the second step. In front of him, there were large swords stuck in the ground. The swords had a bronze texture and ancient patterns on their blades. They were estimated to be three zhang long.

On the hilts of those giant swords, there was a figure sitting cross-legged; those figures were the spirits of the Hongchen Sword!

Lu Chao could see brief information about the sword spirits. They were of different levels, some were level 60 and some were level 90, and their attribute values ​​varied greatly. Some were sword immortals, some were sword gods, some were sword saints, some were sword demons, and there were also sword ghosts and sword kings.

"Defeating any of the Hongchen Sword Spirits will allow us to continue? Isn't that just picking on the weakest link?"

Lu Chaoding smiled slightly, a glint of light flashing in his eyes. He had already used the [Gaze Sword Technique]. With his LV23 Gaze Sword Technique, none of the Hongchen Sword Spirits in front of him could withstand it. They all exploded with a bang and then disappeared into light with a single sweep of his gaze.

With a crash, as the sword spirit of Hongchen was killed, the greatsword beneath them shattered, revealing a passage leading forward.

"Completely vulnerable!"

Lu Chao was secretly pleased. He received a system notification that he could continue forward. He leisurely rode his sword forward. After passing the broken greatswords, the greatswords reformed, and the Hongchen Sword Spirit that had been killed on them reappeared, blocking the way for those who came after.

Next, Lu Chaoding easily reached the third level of the Hongchen Ancient Road. Here, he once again obtained an unreliable lottery ticket and 100 Hunyuan Crystals. He also discovered a new greatsword and the Hongchen Sword Spirit on it.

The number of Hongchen Sword Spirits on the third level seems to be less than that on the second level, but their average level is higher and they appear to be stronger.

Lu Chaoding swept his gaze across the area and quickly eliminated a large number of Hongchen Sword Spirits, opening up the road ahead.

However, Lu Chaoding was not in a hurry to move forward. He opened his storage space and saw the Hunyuan crystal inside.

[Hunyuan Crystal: A special item, a special resource, and a bound item. It is a special crystal containing the mysteries of Hunyuan, essential for players to advance to the Hunyuan Realm. Collecting 120 crystals allows you to synthesize a Hunyuan Heart. Using a Hunyuan Heart can forcibly break through the Hunyuan Realm bottleneck, raising the player's level cap to 150! Hunyuan Crystals can also be used to exchange for items in the Hunyuan Shop; please explore for details.]

"If that's the case, then I won't stand on ceremony!"

Lu Chaoding immediately consumed 120 Chaos Origin Crystals to synthesize a [Chaos Origin Heart]. This [Chaos Origin Heart] was a glowing sphere, about the size of a fist. When Lu Chaoding used it, a system notification sounded in his ear: "Ding, using the Chaos Origin Heart, your Chaos Origin Realm bottleneck has been removed, and your level cap has been raised to level 150!"

"We've broken through the bottleneck!"

Lu Chaoding's spirits lifted, and he immediately rummaged through his storage space, searching for items that could increase his cultivation level.

Although he no longer faces the bottleneck to advancing to the Hunyuan Realm, his level is still 120. Only when he reaches level 121 will he truly transcend the peak and advance to become a master of the Hunyuan Realm.

Lu Chaoding's storage space contained countless treasures accumulated over the years by the four major sword sects of the Shu Mountain Sword Domain, including many cultivation items. Lu Chaoding used them at will, and in a short while, he raised his level to 121!

At this point, Lu Chaoding was already a sword cultivator at the Hunyuan Realm, and the thresholds of his various attributes rose accordingly. His attack power increased to 10000 trillion, and his speed also increased to 10 billion.

"Ding! Congratulations on your advancement to the Hunyuan Realm. As a Hunyuan Realm Sword Immortal, you have automatically obtained the status of Grandmaster of Sword Dao. With this status, you can ignore the upgrade requirements and directly upgrade the level of regular sword cultivation skills to the maximum level. You can equip most other professions' sword cultivation skill books. You can modify and create sword cultivation skill books. Please explore the details on your own."

"Ding! As a sword cultivator in the Chaotic Origin Realm, you will possess a unique skill system, unlocking guidance for creating your own class!"

"Ding! Your current class is [Shangqing Daode Yin Yang Wuji Huangquan Qinglian Dayan Taiji Jiluo Duobao Sword Immortal]. After creating your own class, your current class effects will be retained and enhanced. Please name your created class (please do not exceed six characters). The default name is Supreme Sword Immortal. Do you wish to change it?"

"A self-created profession! A top-tier sword immortal?"

Lu Chao narrowed his eyes, thinking to himself that advancing to the Hunyuan Realm was indeed different. Not only did he gain the "Grandmaster of Sword Dao" status, but he could also create his own profession.

"It seems that advancing to the Chaotic Origin Realm requires creating one's own profession. Well, let's just accept it. A Supreme Sword Immortal it is, no need to change my name!"

After Lu Chaoding responded to the system, he quickly received another system notification: "Ding, congratulations on creating the [Super Sword Immortal] class. Class characteristics are being generated..."

"Ding! The Supreme Sword Immortal class trait has been generated. You have retained ten skill traits: [Shangqing], [Daode], [Yin Yang], [Wuji], [Huangquan], [Qinglian], [Dayan], [Taiji], [Daluo], and [Duobao], which have been merged into the Supreme Sword Immortal trait. The 'Sometimes effective, sometimes not' trait has been eliminated!"

"Ding! As a Sword Immortal of the Perfected Realm, you will possess a unique skill system. Please determine your core skills!"

"Hmm? A unique skill system? What does that mean? And what are the core skills?"

Lu Chao thought for a moment, then tentatively replied to the system: "The Twelve Hates of the Sword Immortal?"

"Ding! You have selected the ultimate skill [Twelve Hatreds of the Sword Immortal] as your core skill. This skill's power has been enhanced, and a passive trigger effect has been added: When you take damage, there is a chance to trigger [Twelve Hatreds of the Sword Immortal] to attack the target who inflicted the damage. Do you confirm this core skill?"

"Unsure! Let's try the [Gaze Sword Technique] instead."

"Ding! You have selected the ultimate skill [Gaze Sword Technique] as your core skill. This secret technique is enhanced in power and adds attack effects: When you use Gaze Sword Technique, the target locked by your gaze has a chance to be suppressed. Once suppressed, the target will be pulled into a special combat space, in which the target will lose the ability to move. Please explore the details yourself. Do you confirm this core skill?"
