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

Chapter 123 Future Outlook, Changyun Sword Sect

"His strength is comparable to that of a flawless Dao Foundation Qi Refining Peak cultivator who has only mastered the rudimentary Qi Refining Techniques."

Even with a perfect Dao Foundation built upon a flawless foundation, not counting the qualitative leap in the later stages, I should have no problem facing an opponent at the peak of the mid-stage of the Qi Refining Secret Realm.

Lu Heng let out a long breath. Of course, he couldn't show such heaven-defying strength on the surface.

If he really dares to reveal his saintly appearance to the outside world.

What you will feel immediately is not goodwill, but an overwhelming force that will destroy the entire Qinghe City, or even overthrow Qingzhou.

However, one's own strength is ultimately the most fundamental basis for any cultivator.

Of course, there's no such thing as "my True Lord father" or "my Void Refining grandfather"—

These extremely rare and exceptional cases are not included.

"Is it enough to participate in the martial arts examination?" Lu Heng couldn't help but wonder.

Even though joining a sect is still a possibility, Lu Heng never leaves himself with only one option unless absolutely necessary.

However, he later rejected this idea and wanted to participate in the martial arts examination, which required participants to be under 20 years old.

At the same time, there were also cases where disciples of aristocratic families and sects proved themselves by participating in the martial arts examinations, and even joined the imperial court.

In this world, even the so-called poor families, at the very least, are third-rate, fallen aristocratic families.

Ordinary practitioners, or even independent practitioners, are not the same thing at all.

Lu Heng has been in this world for half a year, and he has a general understanding of these things.

If you absolutely had to ask a true scion of a prominent family, then it would be—

Can they be the same?

The cultivators who have strived for generations in aristocratic families are not here to allow others to compete fairly!

Eight years passed before I turned twenty and reached adulthood.

It is enough for a cultivation genius who is being nurtured by a powerful family as the next heir to raise his cultivation level to the late stage of the Qi Refining Secret Realm.

Even opponents at this level, with only entry-level Qi Refining Secret Realm techniques, are no longer a threat to Lu Heng.

However, since he was only a cultivation genius on the surface, he couldn't possibly show such strength, let alone his cultivation progress.

However, plans can't keep up with changes. The gains in the secret realm allowed Lu Heng, who might have spent a long time in the Body Refining Secret Realm, to advance earlier.

Given this, if the time comes when he cannot reveal his true strength but needs protection and must participate in the martial arts examination, will he be able to demonstrate even greater talent?

Top genius—

No, perhaps "cultivation prodigy" would be a more suitable term.

As a transmigrator, Lu Heng instinctively concealed his talents, but now, his outward display of genius-level talent is also a form of concealment!

Wait a minute.

Lu Heng forcibly suppressed his impulse.

"At least until the second life leap, when the Void Bloodline talent is fully awakened!"

Because of the remnant soul's message before entering the secret realm, Lu Heng corrected a previous misconception he had.

That was the bloodline he originally thought every member of a noble family possessed, which was the so-called innate supernatural power.

But in reality, it's not like that at all; in fact, it's completely different, a world apart.

There are also differences in talent.

Bloodline is a gift, and so are supernatural abilities.

The two may seem the same, but in reality they are worlds apart.

Bloodlines are something every family possesses, but supernatural abilities are only something that top-tier geniuses are qualified to have.

However, the bloodline of aristocratic families remains extremely important, as it provides a minimum guarantee of talent for those who possess it, and even makes it easier to cultivate supernatural abilities that are compatible with their own bloodline.

If Lu Heng could fully awaken the Void Bloodline talent, aside from everything else, at least at the third tier, his Azure Eyes would truly awaken into the [Void Eyes].

His talent naturally elevates him to the level of a top genius.

Even reaching the level of a cultivation prodigy seems barely acceptable.

As for talent—

No change?!

Lu Heng pondered his strength after his promotion.

Then, feeling himself rise to the upper level after his first life leap, equivalent to the cultivation talent of a cultivation genius, he pondered and pondered—

After assessing his own talent, he thought incredulously!

"Why is this so? Logically speaking, it is based on the Great Dao and its foundation."

Compared to others whose talent only increased by half a level, my cultivation talent should have increased by at least one level!

Rubbing his temples with a slight headache, Lu Heng suddenly had a very frustrating guess.

Is there a possibility that...?

He achieved a breakthrough in his realm with the most perfect foundation and the most perfect posture, yet he still failed to transform his talent.

The reason is that his first life leap has already allowed him to push his talent to its limit at this stage.

Or perhaps, his lack of a second life leap, and the absence of a life level that rose along with his cultivation realm, limited his talent for cultivation.

Both are possible, but Lu Heng leans more towards the latter.

He absolutely wouldn't believe it if you told him that his talent had reached its limit.

It should be understood that even if the transformation of talent in the Body Refining Secret Realm is slight, it is still a fundamental improvement.

For talents above the superior level, the effect may seem insignificant, but it still definitely exists.

It will definitely not remain unchanged.

"Let's wait and see about the second life leap."

Lu Heng finally calmly came to his conclusion.

In any case, even though breaking through the secret realm did not unexpectedly result in an improvement in talent.

But he does have evolutionary talent, which is a safety net.

At the same time, the panel's "Heaven rewards diligence" feature allows his talent to be displayed to a level far exceeding his own.

But speaking of which—

After upgrading to the Qi Refining Realm, the speed at which evolution points accumulate should be much faster.

Lu Heng thought to himself thoughtfully.

There's a reason why, even after accumulating enough evolution points, you can only accumulate one per day.

The reason is that 100 points of cultivation skill proficiency in the Body Refining Secret Realm can only be converted into one evolution point.

Once you reach the Qi Refining Secret Realm, things will likely be completely different in this regard.

After all, the changes in cultivation techniques are earth-shattering—

Looking at his own panel, Lu Heng seemed to be deep in thought.

"Let's go find the young lady first."

He stopped thinking about it and headed towards the location the two had agreed upon in advance, as recorded on the map of the secret realm, just as planned.

A mountain range far to the east.

It was not a wild, monster-infested mountain range, but rather the location of a sect.

One of the mountains, which is over a thousand meters high, has four huge characters carved on it.

The font is not elaborate, but it is sharp and unrestrained, as if it were an invincible divine sword capable of cleaving through heaven and earth.

Changyun Sword Sect!

On a mountain peak of the Changyun Sword Sect, second only to the sect's main peak, in a place known as the Ancestral Hall, thousands of years have passed.

During the trials in the secret realm, the elder of the Sword Sect reappeared in the mortal world after nearly ten thousand years.

A sword that had been without a master for thousands of years, and which no one could make recognize again, resonated throughout the land!
