A Thousand Years of Immortal Dreams

"Watch closely!"

Shen Jingqiu did not make any amazing moves.

It was simply a simple standing posture.

"Follow my lead!"

Cao Wang immediately began to imitate the cat and tiger.

"The Primordial Sword Manual is a complete cultivation system that combines cultivation techniques with corresponding sword arts and immortal techniques."

The core of the Primordial Sword Manual is to cultivate sword essence.

Sword essence is a product of the spiritual energy within the body.

The basic standing meditation is a way to temper your physical constitution.

If the sword energy is too sharp and your physique is not up to par, the sword energy you condense will hurt you.

The cultivation method of the Primordial Sword Manual is the Nine Revolutions of Sword Essence, and the magic part is the Thirteen Primordial Swords.

What you need to do right now is to temper your body, refine your physique to the point where it can accommodate sword essence. Only then can you enter the first stage of the Nine Revolutions of Sword Essence: Condensing the Edge.

At this level, even sword essence transformed from ordinary spiritual energy possesses immense power.

……

Cao Wang began to learn from Shen Jingqiu, stroke by stroke.

After a while.

Cao Wang suddenly opened his eyes wide.

Because this seemingly simple standing posture actually consumes a great deal of spiritual energy.

After spiritual energy is depleted, physical strength comes into play.

After exhausting his strength, Cao Wang could no longer hold back and collapsed to the ground with a thud.

At this moment, he was as if he had been drained dry, his whole body convulsing, and he didn't even have the strength to move a finger.

"This is how it is at the beginning of cultivation, but your foundation is quite good, you actually lasted for a quarter of an hour. Just keep practicing this way until you can store sword energy, then I'll teach you the next step!"

……

overnight.

Cao Wang followed the method Shen Jingqiu taught him and practiced standing meditation continuously.

This was probably the most tiring sleep Cao Wang had ever had in his life.

Fortunately, it's alright.

After Cao Wang woke up, his body was completely restored.

I didn't feel exhausted at all.

"You must remember to practice Tai Chu Zhan Zhuang every morning when you wake up, at the transition between day and night, when Yin gives way to Yang. The effect will be several times greater than usual."

Cao Wang suddenly remembered Shen Jingqiu's instructions.

So he immediately got up and went outside.

Look around.

Cao Wang arrived at a huge rock on the edge of a cliff.

Looking out to the horizon, the rising sun is striving to break through the darkness.

The spiritual energy at this time is the most concentrated within the twelve two-hour periods of a day.

Some diligent disciples, like Cao Wang, are making the most of the early morning hours to cultivate.

On the boulder, Cao Wang, following Shen Jingqiu's instructions, assumed the posture of the Primordial Standing Posture.

From a distance, it looks like a golden rooster standing on one leg.

As time went by, Cao Wang was soon drenched in sweat.

The enormous exertion caused the spiritual energy within the body to be rapidly depleted.

Next comes the power of the body.

The moment the sun rises and peeks out.

Cao Wang was completely exhausted and collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

At this moment, Cao Wang unexpectedly discovered that, compared to the dream world...

In the real world, the speed at which one recovers spiritual and physical energy after exhaustion is less than one-tenth of that in the dream.

"It seems that cultivating in dreams can be considered a cheat code for accelerating cultivation!"

Cao Wang seems to have discovered a third use for the jade pendant.

In the morning, Cao Wang only did the standing meditation once, and then did not leave to continue.

After recovering a little.

Cao Wang then returned to his room, his legs weak.

"Goodness, you cultivated with a few senior sisters yesterday?"

The other fellow disciples who passed by were shocked when they saw Cao Wang's appearance.

"Bro, can I get the recipe?"

"Can this be enhanced by eating?"

The other person snorted coldly.

"In my opinion, we should directly perform limb transplantation. I've heard that there's an elder in the Inner Sect's Dan Peak who is skilled in this technique. He can transplant parts of demonic beasts into a person's body, giving that person the same powerful strength as the demonic beast."

"Really? If I could, I'd bring a donkey over!"

"The cost is very high, around a thousand spirit stones per session!"

"Forget it then, I'd rather just focus on honing my tongue skills!"

……

Faced with the envious glances of others, Cao Wang could only manage a wry smile.

"Even in the Blissful Sect, eating too much fatty meat gets greasy!"

Back in his room, Cao Wang locked the door behind him.

Then he took out a Qi Gathering Pill from the jade pendant and began to cultivate.

But the next moment.

Cao Wang was shocked to discover.

After a night of cultivation last night and another morning of cultivation.

My strength, which I achieved by breaking through to the sixth level of the Qi Refining stage yesterday, has been completely solidified.

At this moment, the spiritual power within his body has truly entered the sixth level of the Qi Refining stage. With one more step, he can reach the peak and touch the seventh level of the Qi Refining stage.

"This stance training is pretty good!"

Cao Wang was deeply shocked.

"Perhaps next time I can try using Qi Gathering Pills during stance training to extend the stance time and thus improve my progress in cultivating the Primordial Sword Manual!"

……

After consuming a Qi Gathering Pill.

Cao Wang recovered quickly.

After lunch, Cao Wang headed straight for Wangyue Peak.

Wangyue Peak is the sacred site where Lengyue resides.

Leng Yue was very satisfied with Cao Wang's excellent performance at Jiao San Niang's place yesterday.

Therefore, Leng Yue agreed to teach Cao Wang a magical technique.

To be honest, aside from talismans, Cao Wang only possessed a basic lightning strike technique, which was rather insufficient.

He now needs to learn a skill that can save his life as soon as possible.

……

……

The Moon Gazing Peak is lonely and desolate.

Just like Lengyue's own personality, it's not as lively as other places.

Even the buildings on the mountain are very simple.

"Who are you? Stop right there!"

Just as Cao Wang arrived at the mountain, he was suddenly stopped by a little girl who looked about fourteen or fifteen years old and had pigtails.

"Little sister, I need to see Elder Leng Yue. Please inform her!"

"Who's the little sister? I'm twenty-eight this year!"

Cao Wang: "..."

"Are you blind?!"

The grumpy little girl stood with her hands on her hips and angrily cursed.

Such a contrast left Cao Wang momentarily speechless.

"Senior...Sister! Please inform him that outer disciple Cao Wang requests an audience!"

"Hmph! Just you wait!"

The grumpy little girl snorted and turned to enter the courtyard.

……

"Are you also here to receive training from Elder Leng Yue?"

Just then, in a corner of the courtyard, a girl arranging flowers suddenly spoke up and asked a question.

Cao Wang then turned around to look.

But when he saw the girl's face, his expression changed immediately.

Qin Shuang!

Cao Wang never expected to run into her here.

"Uh, yes!"

"I advise you to leave. Elder Lengyue won't just teach outer disciples. Several people have come before, but they were all driven down the mountain!"

Qin Shuang kindly offered her advice.

"Thanks!"

Cao Wang didn't want to get entangled further, so he simply nodded slightly and ignored him.

Before long, the grumpy little girl hopped out.

He looked Cao Wang up and down with a suspicious gaze.

"Go inside!"

"Thank you... Senior Sister!"

Cao Wang bowed in gratitude and went straight inside.

The grumpy little girl scratched the back of her head: "That's strange, why does Master want to see this guy?"

Qin Shuang looked at Cao Wang's retreating figure with a puzzled expression.
