Chapter 274: Grand Sword Cultivator and Strength Levels

“To step into the Grand Sword Cultivator Realm, in addition to comprehending Sword Momentum, you also need to forge a Sword Embryo, condense the Sword Momentum onto the Sword Embryo, and nurture it within your body. Only then can you be considered a true Grand Sword Cultivator.”

In a secret chamber, Li Feng took out the Sword of Life. The blade emitted a faint green light, revealing a sharp edge.

Without hesitation.

He circulated the Great Derivation Sword Scripture, imprinting the Immortal Sword Momentum onto it. The blade emitted a soft hum, and mysterious runes faintly appeared and disappeared on its surface. Eventually, they transformed into lines, outlining beautiful scenes. It was the Sword Momentum automatically manifesting, depicting towering mountains that pierced the clouds, an eternally flowing river, the sun, moon, and stars, seemingly immortal and indestructible, stretching across the landscape, exuding an ancient and desolate aura.

The originally simple Sword Embryo now appeared profoundly ancient and extraordinary.

The first Immortal Sword Momentum was imprinted very smoothly, almost without any hindrance, which brought a smile to Li Feng’s face.

“For the second one, I should imprint the Devouring Sword Momentum!”

Following that, Li Feng once again circulated the Great Derivation Sword Scripture, imprinting the Devouring Sword Momentum onto it.

Boom!

In the center of the Sword of Life’s blade, a black dot appeared and rapidly expanded. But at this moment, an unexpected change occurred.

The black dot spread extremely quickly and soon collided with the depicted mountains and rivers. A terrifying aura erupted, and a visible ripple surged outwards.

“I knew it wouldn’t be that simple,” Li Feng muttered, his expression turning serious.

Ordinary Sword Cultivators only comprehended one type of Sword Momentum, or two complementary types, making it easy to imprint them. Even if there were some resistance, it could be easily overcome.

However, the Devouring Sword Momentum was very domineering, displaying an attitude of swallowing mountains and rivers, wanting to devour the mountains, rivers, sun, and moon to strengthen itself.

Now, the two Sword Momentums were engaged in a fierce confrontation on the blade’s surface.

Sharp sword lights burst forth, spreading in all directions and striking the sturdy walls, leaving deep marks.

This secret chamber was specially built, and even ordinary Awakened level experts would struggle to break it. Now, just being grazed by some sword lights left numerous small pits.

“Fortunately, my Sword of Life is made entirely of God-Level materials. Otherwise, it would probably have exploded by now,” Li Feng thought with relief.

If the Sword Embryo were destroyed, his advancement would fail.

The two Sword Momentums battled for a long time before Li Feng barely managed to suppress them. He was drenched in sweat, and his face was pale.

Although the Immortal Sword Momentum and the Devouring Sword Momentum were still in conflict, the scenes depicted by the Immortal Sword Momentum were constantly shrinking. Eventually, the two Sword Momentums clearly separated, each occupying half of the blade.

Li Feng hesitated, unsure whether he should imprint the third Sword Momentum. Because once the Demonic Dao Sword Momentum was added, it would stir up the already turbulent situation even more.

Now, the Devouring Sword Momentum and the Immortal Sword Momentum had reached a balance point. Imprinting the Demonic Dao Sword Momentum would be like pouring water into boiling oil, likely causing an immediate explosion.

“This Sword of Life should be able to withstand it,” Li Feng finally decided, resolving to imprint the third Sword Momentum.

Because among the materials used to forge the Sword of Life was Life Spirit Wood, which had fallen from the Life Tree.

Boom! A domineering Sword Momentum erupted from Li Feng’s body. In the void, a faint shadow vaguely appeared. It was a Demon King, incomparably domineering, even more so than the dominance displayed by the Devouring Sword Intent, as if proclaiming itself supreme in heaven and on earth.

This black Sword Momentum, like a True Dragon, directly crashed into the Sword of Life. The interior immediately exploded, and the blade emitted a sound similar to a stellar explosion.

The Demonic Dao Sword Momentum charged in, boldly and simultaneously challenging both the Immortal Sword Momentum and the Devouring Sword Momentum. This left Li Feng speechless.

The Immortal Sword Momentum and the Devouring Sword Momentum, which had just calmed down, now flared up again, each displaying their own power. The secret chamber was filled with dazzling light and terrifying divine radiance. The walls and floor cracked, seemingly unable to withstand this terrifying power.

Rumble.

Li Feng’s ears rang. Because the Sword of Life was right in front of him, the intense explosions from within made him dizzy.

The three Sword Momentums clashed continuously, causing him great concern. He said, “I was a bit impulsive. I hope the Sword of Life won’t disintegrate because of this. Otherwise, it would be a huge loss.”

If that really happened, he would regret it immensely.

However, this was a necessary step to becoming a Grand Sword Cultivator. If the Sword of Life could truly accommodate the three Sword Momentums, its foundation would be even stronger. When he integrated the sword into his body, it would bring him even greater benefits. This would be a baptism from the inside out.

Buzz buzz.

The Sword of Life floated in the void, countless sword lights shooting out from within, like heavenly swords, sweeping in all directions. Even Li Feng was affected.

Reluctantly, he took action, intercepting some of the sword lights. Otherwise, the secret chamber would likely be destroyed.

Bang bang, his large palms emitted a dazzling light, enveloping the sword lights and directly obliterating them.

After about an hour of struggle, the runes on the Sword of Life once again separated, dividing into three, each occupying a territory.

Li Feng’s eyes revealed joy, but also a hint of heartache. He could see that the Sword of Life had tiny cracks, showing some damage, and its size had slightly reduced.

“If a Sword Embryo made of ordinary materials had been used, it would probably have shattered by now,” Li Feng was relieved. “But even so, there are cracks on it. As long as I integrate the sword into my body, the cracks will automatically repair. There shouldn’t be any major problems.”

Once the final step of becoming a Grand Sword Cultivator was completed, the Sword Embryo would also become a different kind of life form, capable of self-repairing its own injuries and continuing to grow.

This was also the terrifying aspect of the Sword Immortal system. The legendary saying of “sword energy stretching three thousand miles, a single sword’s light chilling nineteen provinces” would no longer be just a myth.

Li Feng formed hand seals, using the method from the Great Derivation Sword Scripture to integrate the sword into his body. Streaks of light danced from his fingertips, forming a large, brilliant golden net in the void, enveloping the Sword of Life.

Pfft.

An accident occurred. Before the large net could get close, it was torn apart by the sword lights emitted from the Sword Embryo. This sudden change made Li Feng’s expression instantly change.

Integrating the sword into the body was the final step to becoming a Grand Sword Cultivator. He never expected to be stuck here.

Li Feng didn’t give up and tried again.

Soon, half an hour passed. His face was even paler, and large drops of sweat fell from his forehead. After more than ten attempts, without exception, the large net was pierced by the sword energy, unable to complete the final step.

“Others who step into the Grand Sword Cultivator Realm, cultivate Sword Momentum, forge a Sword Embryo, and easily enter this realm. Why is it so tumultuous and difficult for me?”

Li Feng felt exhausted.

He had reached the final step but was blocked at the door.

He stopped and carefully examined the Sword of Life floating in the void. He didn’t continue trying but began to think deeply.

“If I don’t complete the final step, I won’t be able to undergo the transformation, and I might even have to abandon the Sword of Life,” he thought, extremely troubled.

This was an unprecedented accident. Even if he returned to the Ten Thousand Swords Immortal Domain and interrogated those Sword Immortals, they would probably be dumbfounded by this situation.

Li Feng stared intently at the Sword of Life, feeling helpless. Any object that approached the Sword of Life would be crushed to pieces because of the two extremely domineering Sword Momentums inside, not allowing anything to get close. He thought to himself, “You’re so domineering, why don’t you beat yourself up?”

◈◈◈

Thinking of this, he paused, “Same origin, how could I forget this?”

The next moment, he formed hand seals again, and a large, brilliantly shining net condensed. But this time, the golden net didn’t immediately rush towards the Sword of Life.

A strange energy emanated from Li Feng’s body, assimilating into the golden net. He activated his talent skill ‘Transformation’. The process was extremely smooth, as if he was born to use it, incredibly proficient.

The aura of the golden net was gradually distorted, emitting the same aura as the Sword of Life. Then, the golden net slowly approached the Sword of Life.

“It might work,” Li Feng’s eyes lit up.

Because at this moment, the golden net was very close to the Sword of Life, and the Sword of Life hadn’t resisted.

With a whoosh.

The golden net completely enveloped the Sword of Life. The blade trembled slightly but didn’t show any further unusual movement.

“Absorb!” Li Feng formed hand seals, performing the final step. The large net dragged the Sword of Life, rushing into Li Feng’s forehead.

With a buzz.

Li Feng’s crystal-clear forehead emitted a brilliant light, golden light radiating in all directions, illuminating the entire secret chamber. From afar, he looked like a living Buddha, holy and sacred.

But this sacred state didn’t last long.

Bang bang, sounds like metal clashing came from within Li Feng’s body. The next moment, he spat out a mouthful of black blood, and his body gradually cracked, blood seeping out.

Li Feng wanted to curse. This transformation was too intense. The three Sword Momentums on the Sword of Life erupted, penetrating his body from top to bottom. The three Sword Momentums were like three True Dragons, rampaging and thoroughly baptizing him. The changes were very obvious.

He could feel that all his meridians were severed, countless pores on his body were bleeding, and his internal organs were no exception, torn with numerous wounds. He was severely injured, continuously coughing up blood, but the blood was black, emitting a foul odor and highly corrosive.

In a short while, he became a bloodied figure, as if he had been fished out of a sea of blood.

This intense baptism was not something ordinary people could endure. It was only because Li Feng had achieved the Immortal Sword Body, constantly repairing from behind, that he didn’t face a life-threatening situation.

This baptism lasted for a long time before it ended. Li Feng’s body once again emitted a radiant glow. All the blood on his body’s surface was shaken off, revealing his crystal-clear skin, now covered with a layer of brilliance, both dazzling and understated.

An unprecedentedly powerful aura erupted from Li Feng’s body. Golden light overflowed from his eyes, and his crystal-clear forehead extended seven-colored divine light. The Sword of Life was nurtured in his forehead.

In fact, that seven-colored divine light was the radiance emitted by the Sword of Life itself.

The next moment, with a thought from Li Feng, the Sword of Life shot out from his forehead like a bolt of lightning, extremely fast, as if teleporting, piercing through the secret chamber’s wall without any resistance, creating a hole that let in light.

“So sharp,” Li Feng was surprised. This secret chamber was made of many rare materials, extremely sturdy, but in front of the Sword of Life’s edge, it was as easy as cutting tofu.

This made him very excited. With this alone, he could kill most experts of the same level.

Then, he reviewed the Great Derivation Sword Scripture. The scripture he obtained was complete, containing the entire path of the Sword Immortal system. Previously, his strength was insufficient, and he couldn’t read the later parts of the scripture.

Now, he had stepped into the Grand Sword Cultivator Realm and could see the path ahead.

“Sword Immortal, Sword Soul?”

Soon, Li Feng understood the next realm. After the Grand Sword Cultivator, there was the Sword Immortal Realm. And to become a Sword Immortal, one needed to comprehend the Sword Soul.

Above Sword Momentum was the Sword Soul. If one could comprehend the Sword Soul, the Sword of Life would have its own consciousness, could be released to fight independently, and wouldn’t need Li Feng’s control.

However, comprehending the Sword Soul was extremely difficult. Therefore, in the Ten Thousand Swords Immortal Domain, after so many years, it was difficult for a Sword Immortal to appear.

Because this was a qualitative change. Comprehending the Sword Soul could give a divine sword a soul, a different kind of method of creating life, a great miracle. If not for the Sword Immortal path being complementary to the Sword Embryo, with their minds connected, it would be difficult to achieve such a feat.

Afterwards, Li Feng carefully reviewed it several times, trying to understand it. He discovered that in the Grand Sword Cultivator Realm, there wasn’t a very detailed division of strength.

He could now be considered to be at the initial stage of the Grand Sword Cultivator, or at the peak stage. As long as he comprehended the Sword Soul, he could cross to another level.

“I wonder if I can extract a Sword Soul from the game?” Li Feng thought of his special ability, pondering silently.

He felt that after stepping into the Grand Sword Cultivator Realm, although his strength had changed significantly, and he could be considered a ‘top’ in the Awakened level, he was still far from the Destruction level.

“I can be considered invincible among the Awakened level now, right?” Li Feng muttered to himself. He felt that his strength was sufficient to deal with Zhou Ping.

Of course, that was assuming the other party hadn’t stepped into the Destruction level.

Then, Li Feng looked at his attribute panel. The Xianxia system panel had new changes.

Xianxia System: Great Derivation Sword Immortal.

Life Level: Grand Sword Cultivator.

Physique: Immortal Divine Body.

Cultivation Technique: Great Derivation Sword Scripture （Second Level）.

No more updates tonight.

For a new author, there’s at least a two-month period from the new book period to going on shelves where the author has no income. So, opening a new book is to seamlessly connect, so that when the old book ends, the new book also passes the new book period.

Of course, this excludes great authors who don’t care about not having income for a month or two. This book won’t end so quickly.
