All Realms and Worlds: The Lost Home

The other disciples, though fearful, could only nod in agreement.

They knew that at this moment, they had no way out.

Either find an opportunity for revenge in the secret realm, or you will be forever suppressed by Shen Jianxin and his group.

Inside his residence, Shen Jianxin slowly opened his eyes.

Two sharp sword lights flashed across his eyes, then he returned to calm.

He felt the powerful spiritual energy within his body, and the giant cyan sword floating in his soul.

A slight upturn at the corners of his mouth revealed a relieved smile.

He finally understood why his cultivation of the Azure Cloud Technique automatically circulated through the Great Heavenly Cycle.

Why does sword intent condense within his soul? It turns out he was born with a sword physique.

Born to live with the sword and resonate with the Dao.

"Brother Jianxin, you're amazing! You've actually broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage!"

Lin Nannan rushed over, her face full of excitement and admiration, and said loudly.

Shi Si also walked over, his eyes full of satisfaction and approval: "Congratulations, Jian Xin, you have awakened your innate sword body and broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage."

"From now on, no one will be able to bully us easily anymore."

Shen Jianxin nodded slightly, his tone tinged with gratitude: "Thanks to the Azure Cloud Technique, and thanks to all of you."

"Without you, I might not have been able to awaken my physique and break through my cultivation level so smoothly."

He could clearly feel that his strength was more than one level higher than before.

The cyan giant sword in his soul not only enhances his sword intent but also helps him circulate his spiritual power.

The cultivation speed will also increase significantly.

Just then, the door to the residence was gently pushed open.

Elder Li entered with four inner sect elders, his face full of kind smiles.

He looked at Shen Jianxin with burning eyes.

"Shen Jianxin, congratulations on awakening your innate sword physique and breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage!" Elder Li said, his tone full of praise.

"You are a once-in-a-century genius of my Qingyun Sect. From this day forward, you will be my inner disciple, and I will personally teach you the art of swordsmanship!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Jianxin was startled and quickly bowed, saying, "Disciple Shen Jianxin greets all elders. Thank you for Elder Li's kindness!"

The other four elders also congratulated Shen Jianxin, their eyes full of admiration.

They all knew that Shen Jianxin's rise would bring new hope to the Qingyun Sect.

Shi Si and Lin Nannan also bowed respectfully, their faces full of joy.

Shen Jianxin becoming an inner disciple and receiving personal instruction from the elders was a tremendous good thing for them.

Elder Li waved his hand, signaling the three of them to stand up.

His gaze fell on Shen Jianxin, and his tone was solemn: "Jianxin, you are born with a sword physique and are exceptionally gifted. You must never be arrogant or complacent."

"In the days to come, I need to devote myself to training and diligently hone my swordsmanship."

"Strive to become a powerful sword cultivator as soon as possible and bring glory to my Qingyun Sect."

"This disciple will remember the elder's teachings!" Shen Jianxin replied solemnly, his eyes firm and his heart filled with fighting spirit.

He knew that his path to immortality had only just begun.

Awakening one's innate sword physique and breaking through the Foundation Establishment stage is just the beginning.

In the future, he needs to become stronger so that he can better protect Shi Si and Lin Nannan.

Only then can one carve out a place of their own in this world of cultivation.

Elder Li nodded in satisfaction, gave a few more instructions, and then left with the four elders.

Before leaving, he specifically instructed Shi Si and Lin Nannan to cultivate diligently, and that if they encountered any difficulties, they could go to the inner sect to find him at any time.

Peace was restored to the dwelling once more.

But the hearts of all three were filled with turmoil.

Shen Jianxin's rise to power freed them from the predicament of being harassed by the menial disciples.

However, this also presents them with new opportunities and challenges.

Three days later in the secret realm, Shen Jianxin had become a Foundation Establishment stage expert, and the original crisis seemed to have become less frightening.

But they all knew that the secret realm was not only fraught with Zhao Hu and his men's schemes, but also with unknown dangers.

Even more opportunities await them.

Shi Si looked at Shen Jianxin with a determined gaze: "Jianxin, you've broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage, and we can't fall behind."

"These past two days, we've been making the most of our time to cultivate, hoping to advance to the next realm before the secret realm opens."

"This way, we'll have an extra layer of protection while in the secret realm."

Lin Nannan nodded vigorously, her eyes filled with determination: "Yes! I also need to cultivate diligently, so as not to hold you back."

"I'll try to break through to the second level of Qi Refining; that way, I can help you all too!"

Shen Jianxin smiled and nodded: "Okay, let's cultivate together and become stronger together."

"Three days later, in the secret realm, we will fight side by side, seize the opportunity, and create new glories!"

The three of them sat down cross-legged again, closed their eyes, and devoted themselves to cultivation.

Shen Jianxin activated the Azure Cloud Technique, causing the giant azure sword in his soul to tremble slightly, guiding the primordial energy of heaven and earth to rapidly enhance his sword cultivation.

Shi Si continued to refine the compatibility between the Shadow Spiritual Root and the Azure Cloud Technique, steadily improving his cultivation.

Lin Nannan also devoted herself to cultivation, striving to break through her cultivation level.

Unbeknownst to anyone, while Shi Si was diligently cultivating, deep within his body lay a small, dormant black dagger.

At this moment, it began to tremble slightly, and a faint dark light appeared on its surface, like a sleeping beast quietly awakening.

A faint, almost imperceptible golden aura slowly emerged from the void.

Like a wisp of silk, it was quietly guided by the black dagger and slowly merged into it.

This wisp of spiritual energy was incomparably pure, far surpassing the spiritual energy of the Qingyun Sect's world; it was clearly the primordial spiritual energy from the upper realm.

"Buzzing—"

The black knife trembled slightly, and two extremely faint sounds, audible only to each other, quietly rang out from inside the knife.

"Isn't this a bad idea?" a slightly hesitant voice said, carrying a hint of apprehension.

"This kid hasn't grown up yet. If we were to illegally draw in spiritual energy from the upper realm and the enforcers there found out, we'd probably be skinned alive, our souls wouldn't even be left behind!"

Another voice, tinged with arrogance and confidence, said disdainfully, "What are you afraid of? Don't forget, we have the Emperor as our backer!"

"With the Emperor backing them up, how dare these mere law enforcers cause us trouble?"

"But the Emperor has long since fallen silent. If something really happens, the Emperor might not be able to protect us in time..." The hesitant voice remained uneasy.

"Hmph," the arrogant voice scoffed, "as long as we don't expose our tracks, we can quietly nurture this kid."

"Once he grows up, not only the law enforcers, but even those old monsters from the upper realms will have to give us some face!"

The two voices gradually fell silent, and the dark light of the black knife also subsided.

Silence returned, as if nothing had ever happened.

Shi Si was completely unaware of this and remained immersed in his cultivation.

The compatibility between the Shadow Spiritual Root and the Azure Cloud Technique is getting higher and higher, and the spiritual power in the body is also steadily increasing.

He vaguely felt that the spiritual energy around him seemed to be a bit purer than before, and his cultivation speed was also a little faster.

However, he didn't take it to heart, simply assuming it was because his cultivation of the Azure Cloud Technique was progressing well.

However, this smooth progress in cultivation did not last long, and Shi Si gradually realized that something was wrong.

The spiritual energy circulating within the body, from some unknown point in time, began to be drawn and compressed by an invisible force.

Moreover, the compression force is increasing, far exceeding the control range of his own Qingyun Technique.

At first, he thought it was just normal stagnation caused by the overly pure spiritual energy during its circulation.

However, as time went on, this feeling of compression became more and more intense.

The spiritual energy within his body was as if it had been stuffed into a small container, becoming increasingly condensed.

It even caused a slight throbbing pain in his meridians.

"What's going on?" Shi Si was secretly alarmed and subconsciously tried to control the spiritual energy in his body.

However, he discovered that the invisible compressive force did not come from himself, nor was it the effect of the Azure Cloud Technique.

Instead, it seemed to originate from deep within the body, faintly connected to that silent black dagger.

He tried to use his spiritual power to resist, but the more he resisted, the stronger the compressive force became.

The spiritual energy within the body was compressed more and more tightly, and the spiritual power that was originally like a stream gradually became like paste.

It even began to condense towards solidification, with every inch of spiritual energy containing an explosive force far exceeding that of the past.

Shi Si suppressed the throbbing pain in his meridians and secretly looked inward.

However, the black dagger was still nowhere to be seen; one could only vaguely sense that the compressive force was continuously emanating from the depths of the body.

Intertwined with the Azure Cloud Technique he cultivated and his own Shadow Spiritual Root, it silently altered the nature of the spiritual energy within his body.

He didn't make a fuss, but quietly adjusted the way the Azure Cloud Technique operated, trying to adapt to this state of spiritual energy compression.

However, he discovered that even though he deliberately slowed down the flow of spiritual energy, that invisible force continued to compress the spiritual energy.

It was as if he was trying to compress the spiritual energy within him to the extreme and condense it into some special form.

Shen Jianxin and Lin Nannan, who were standing to the side, were still immersed in their cultivation and did not notice Shi Si's unusual behavior at all.

The cyan giant sword in Shen Jianxin's soul trembled slightly, and his sword cultivation steadily improved.

The green aura surrounding Lin Nannan grew increasingly intense, bringing her closer and closer to the second level of Qi Refining.

Both of them were sprinting at full speed, preparing for their trip to the secret realm three days later.

Shi Si gritted his teeth, temporarily suppressing his doubts, and allowed the invisible force to compress the spiritual energy within his body.

He could vaguely sense that although his meridians were somewhat swollen and painful, the purity of this compressed spiritual energy far exceeded that of the past.

It even faintly carries a mysterious aura of spiritual energy from the upper realm.

If he can control this state, his cultivation level may experience a qualitative leap.

Little did he know that behind all of this, the small black knife was the culprit working in the shadows.

That invisible compressive force was secretly applied to his body by the black dagger after it drew in spiritual energy from the upper realm.

The purpose was to help him condense his spiritual power.
