You promised yourself to be a caged bird, but you became the supreme young master?

Chapter 122 Talent [Sword Seed], Immortal Dao Foundation

The Secret Realm Trial and the Secret Realm Sky are the same, or rather, they are in the same place, just in different spatial dimensions.

A huge vortex appeared in the sky.

At this moment, many young masters from noble families in the secret realm also looked up at the sky.

The three major families in Qinghe City are the Lu family, the Zhou family, and the Li family.

Just then, the two young men from the Zhou family, who were extremely close to each other at the beginning of the secret realm, approached each other immediately.

"What is this strange phenomenon in the sky?"

Why do I feel like this is a breakthrough?

One of the two Zhou family youths looked at the sky in shock and said...

"It's about breaking through. Some demons at the peak of the second tier couldn't hold back and chose to break through to the third tier."

Judging from this strange phenomenon, that peak second-tier demon probably has quite a remarkable bloodline!

Unfortunately, within the secret realm, any attempt to break through to the third tier is a certain death.

Another young man from the Zhou family said solemnly and with certainty.

Compared to his companions, he was clearly more knowledgeable and experienced.

Why does the secret realm restrict the demon race from breaking through to the third rank?

Could it be that the rules of this secret realm were once altered by a powerful being with overwhelming force?

The other Zhou family youth clearly only knew some basic common sense before entering the secret realm and did not delve too deeply into it.

"Uh, no, not at all."

Within this secret realm, any demon attempting to break through to the third tier will be instantly annihilated by the power of heaven and earth drawn upon by the formation that has existed within the realm for thousands of years.

The young man from the Zhou family touched his nose and said somewhat awkwardly.

Sure enough, the vortex in the sky disappeared in a short time.

There was absolutely no tribulation lightning in the Refining Mystic Realm.

An unnamed grassland in a hidden realm.

A boy who had disappeared not long ago has silently reappeared on the grassland.

-

Compared to his previous handsome and otherworldly appearance, the young man is still considered handsome, but his original ethereal and otherworldly temperament is gone. Instead, he appears extremely reserved and peaceful.

He gives off a gentle and refined feeling, without any sharp edges.

Compared to his first life leap, he now gives people a feeling that is closer to his state before the life leap.

If we exclude improvements in appearance, this is the situation.

Lu Heng

[12 years old]

Life Rank: One

[Cultivation Realm: Early Stage of Qi Refining Secret Realm (Perfect State, Foundation of the Great Dao)]

(Realm-derived characteristic "Immortal Dao Foundation")

(The boundary-derived trait "Saint's Stance")

[Destiny: Chosen One]

[Talents: Innate Physique (Partial Awakening), Void Bloodline (Partial Awakening), True Seed of Sword Dao (Partial Awakening)]

[Cultivation Technique: Basic Body Refinement Method (Limited, derived cultivation technique with the characteristic "Mastery of Cultivation", now encompassing the three elements of essence, qi, and spirit, and can be renamed)]

Basic Swordsmanship (Limited, derived skill trait "Swordsmanship Mastery", sword energy component has been developed, can be renamed)

"Spiritual Food Production (Limited, derived skill trait 'Spiritual Food Proficiency', can be renamed)"

Evolution Points: 100/300 (After reaching the maximum value, it cannot be accumulated, but can unlock one life leap)

(Evolution points can only be accumulated through daily settlements)

"Is this the effect of the Immortal Dao Foundation realm?" Lu Heng, who could clearly perceive the changes in himself, couldn't help but wonder.

There was a reason why his demeanor changed so drastically.

The reason lies in the fact that when breaking through the Qi Refining Secret Realm, in addition to refining the sword seed according to the method emphasized by the elder of the Sword Sect, he also obtained a new semi-awakened talent.

Along with the breakthrough in his realm, perhaps due to the Dao foundation he built with the unparalleled Three-Method Limit Break, which surpasses the Two-Method Limit Break, he also gained a new characteristic.

It is called the "Immortal Dao Foundation".

The function of this feature is very simple and clear.

Or rather, as the number of traits increased, Lu Heng gained a better understanding of their characteristics, and they were no longer complicated.

It should either be helpful to oneself or to one's spiritual practice.

The function of the Immortal Dao Foundation realm is not to help cultivation, but to help oneself.

It can maintain its peak condition until all spiritual energy is exhausted.

As long as the attack received does not exceed one's own limit, one can withstand it by consuming one's own spiritual power and thus remain unharmed.

This is an extremely outrageous ability. In Lu Heng's previous life, in the game, this ability would be called "locked health".

In addition to its own immortality, the Immortal Dao Foundation also has a seemingly insignificant but extremely helpful characteristic ability.

That is absolute control over oneself under the enhancement of the Immortal Dao Foundation characteristics.

It's not just about absolute control over one's own cultivation level, which prevents even those in the Refining Mystic Realm from detecting anything unusual; it also includes absolute control over the cultivator themselves.

This includes absolute control over one's temperament.

As long as Lu Heng himself does not exceed the scope of the Qi Refining Secret Realm, this characteristic will allow him to have absolute control over himself.

Putting aside other benefits, even if the only reward was the unique characteristic of an immortal foundation, Lu Heng felt that breaking through to the Qi Refining Secret Realm with an unparalleled foundation was a huge win.

The ability to lock blood will never be outdated, not only in the Qi Refining Secret Realm, but even for Void Refinement experts.

If one reaches the limit in every realm, one will obtain a realm characteristic that is almost like having a cheat code.

Lu Heng couldn't even imagine how strong he would become in the end.

Come to think of it, even without his special abilities, he's already ridiculously strong.

With the foundation of his Dao after his breakthrough, Lu Heng silently assessed his current strength.

Once you reach the Qi Refining Secret Realm, the cultivation level is no longer divided into nine levels, but rather into early, middle, late, and even peak stages.

These correspond to the beginner, proficient, minor success, and major success stages of the Qi Refining Secret Realm techniques, respectively.

Even in the Qi Refining Secret Realm, only the most outstanding talents can possess a perfect-level cultivation technique.

Furthermore, due to the elevation of the secret realm, top cultivation geniuses who originally had even the slightest chance of achieving perfection in the Body Refining Secret Realm now have virtually no possibility of achieving perfection unless they can defy fate.

Falling behind at one step leads to falling behind at every step.

One cannot transform one's own talent by relying on a Dao Foundation of a higher level than one's own talent.

The upper limit of most cultivators is determined by their seemingly starting talent.

At the same time, compared to the minor completion level of the Body Refining Secret Realm, it is possible to break through to the Qi Refining Secret Realm.

Once you reach the Qi Refining Secret Realm, even a minor-level Qi Refining technique can only be cultivated to the late stage of the Qi Refining Secret Realm, which is an insurmountable barrier.

That's really cruel.

While reflecting on his thoughts, Lu Heng also pondered his own strength and talent.
