"Xiao Cangjian's Divine Bloodline has likely reached the second stage. Just now, he actually wanted to continue enhancing his strength," the Demon Emperor said softly.
"Yes, I sensed that, which is why I exchanged the Heritage with him. A Heritage that is of no use to me can be traded for something else. Although my Killing Heart has also reached the second stage, the fourfold increase in strength puts too much strain on my body; I can't sustain it for more than a few breaths, so there's no need to force it," Ren Pingsheng nodded, gaining a deeper understanding of the Divine Bloodline. This was definitely a terrifying weapon.
"You know, that's good. I've only heard some old folks in the clan mention that the Divine Bloodline actually has three stages, each stage doubling the strength of the previous one. Once fully mastered, there are few rivals among peers. However, since you have the Killing Heart, you don't need to worry; if you continue down this path, you might not be any worse off. But your situation is quite rare. So far, only the Divine Bloodline can counteract it."
"The Divine Bloodline—I used to think it was just a legend. Now it seems there are quite a few people who possess it. Since it's present in the Southern Region, how could it be absent in other regions? Major forces might even have hidden ones. The waters of this continent run deep; with chaos approaching, there will likely be more powerful individuals emerging."
"Thank you; consider it a favor owed to you. If any trouble arises in the future and I can help, I will do my utmost," Xiao Cangjian said with a change in demeanor, putting away the Divine Bloodline and expressing his gratitude.
"We're just engaging in a fair trade; there's no debt involved," Ren Pingsheng replied with a smile, his own aura returning as all Demonic Energy vanished. At that moment, he realized that Xiao Cangjian was just an ordinary-looking man—so ordinary that he wouldn't be recognized even if thrown into a crowd.
"I have my principles; when I say I owe a debt, I mean it," he said seriously. "The Heritage has concluded; I plan to cultivate here for a while since this place greatly enhances comprehension of Artistic Conception and Sword Momentum."
"Me too; that's exactly why I'm here. My understanding of Artistic Conception isn't as profound as yours."
"Alright, then after we finish, I'll treat you to a drink," Xiao Cangjian said with a smile before finding a corner to close his eyes and begin cultivating. Surroundings rose with waves of green energy, clearly from the Wood Realm.
Aside from the legendary Heritage obtained after breaking through thirty levels, there were other rewards as well. This was also Ren Pingsheng's purpose for coming here; he intended to perfect all his Artistic Conceptions before breaking through.
With a flash, Ren Pingsheng moved to another spot and closed his eyes to cultivate as well. The space was large enough that they wouldn't disturb each other.
"First is Cloud Realm!" he murmured softly, and then the surroundings began to swirl with Cloud Mist. He immediately felt that state of Unity of Heaven and Man; his comprehension of Cloud Realm increased steadily. Originally at sixty percent comprehension of Cloud Realm, he made gradual progress.
Soon, the Cloud Mist in the surroundings rolled more violently, stretching and contracting into various shapes. Sometimes it resembled an eagle spreading its wings; at other times it looked like a tiger roaring in the mountains; sometimes it appeared like a dragon probing its claws.
"Boom..." The clouds suddenly contracted and then expanded all at once, countless wisps of mist shattered and slowly reappeared. His Cloud Artistic Conception, after two hours of comprehension, finally took a crucial step forward. The Cloud Artistic Conception had reached great success.
"Whoosh whoosh..." Golden sword lights suddenly appeared around him, dancing in the air, their sharpness seeming to pierce through the void. Occasionally colliding with each other, they emitted piercing clangs. He was comprehending the Golden Realm, which had already reached sixty-nine percent; only one last step remained.
On the other side, Xiao Cangjian was surrounded by a turbulent Water Realm. Along with the Wood Realm that Ren Pingsheng had seen at the beginning, he had also comprehended three types of Artistic Conceptions. It was just unclear whether he had comprehended any other Artistic Conceptions.
About half an hour later, his aura changed; the Water Realm disappeared and was replaced by bursts of Thunder Light, surprisingly revealing the rare Thunder's Realm. He had comprehended four types of Artistic Conceptions, just like Ren Pingsheng.
As time passed little by little, they were unaware of the passage of time while cultivating inside, but those outside the Sword Trial Tower were growing increasingly anxious. By this time, three hours had nearly passed, yet Ren Pingsheng and Xiao Cangjian remained on the thirtieth floor without any sign of movement, leaving everyone puzzled about their situation.
"Do you think they have already passed through and are inside enhancing their Artistic Conceptions and sword intent?" The Demon Prince said somewhat impatiently.
"That's possible. After all, there were only ten enemies left at that time. Since so much time has passed without failure, they should be close to getting through," Tianfeng said enviously. Passing the thirtieth floor was not only a symbol of strength but also meant gaining endless benefits; it was feared that their strength would increase significantly upon exiting.
"It’s been a hundred thousand years since anyone has passed the thirtieth floor of the Sword Trial Tower. I never expected that today two people would actually make it through; it’s truly unbelievable," Canglong sighed. Meanwhile, Fengluan stared at the Sword Trial Tower in a daze, lost in thought.
"Um, what is this? Such a strong smell of blood." Having comprehended Thunder's Realm to great success, Xiao Cangjian glanced at Ren Pingsheng in the distance surrounded by blood and couldn't help but frown.
"Could it be Blood Realm? How could he comprehend such an Artistic Conception? Moreover, he used demonic energy during battle earlier, but when he faced the titled experts, he clearly used true energy; it’s really strange." Confusion filled his face.
"Forget it; since my sword intent's Artistic Conception has reached great success, I should prepare to break through." These were private matters after all; he felt it inappropriate to ask and decided not to dwell on them.
He was originally at half-step Zong-level realm; now that his sword intent's Artistic Conception had reached great success, breaking through went smoothly. Soon the entire void began to ripple as countless true energies started to converge. However, an invisible Light Barrier shielded Ren Pingsheng from being affected in any way.
The phenomenon of breakthrough grew larger and soon expanded beyond the Sword Trial Tower. A wind dragon spiraled around the tower, sweeping away true energies within twenty miles. All surged into Xiao Cangjian within the tower as his internal true energy continued to compress.
"This momentum indicates someone is breaking through; this means they have already passed the thirtieth floor." Many martial artists with extensive experience immediately recognized that someone was breaking through to the Zong-level realm.
"Did you really break through the Thirty-Third Layer? I wonder if there is the legendary Heritage." A martial artist exclaimed with a dazed expression, filled with envy.
This situation lasted only a moment before it ended. After all, Xiao Cangjian had already condensed True Essence, which meant he was half a step into Zongji Jing, so this breakthrough was naturally much faster.
At the same time, Ren Pingsheng, who was immersed in the Blood Realm, was reaping even greater rewards. His understanding of the Blood Realm had skyrocketed from thirty percent to sixty percent, just one step away from mastery. It seemed that, as rumored, there were no time constraints here; one could comprehend their limits.
Ultimately, after Xiao Cangjian's breakthrough and comprehension came to an end, Ren Pingsheng also achieved mastery in the Blood Realm. The blood surrounding him shrank and all entered his body.
"Oh, have you already broken through?" Ren Pingsheng said with surprise as he opened his eyes and looked at Xiao Cangjian.
"That's right, I just finished my breakthrough. From the looks of you, it seems you've also completed your comprehension; your breakthrough must be just around the corner!" Xiao Cangjian replied with a light smile.
"Indeed, I am preparing to break through."
"Then I'll wait for you outside." He nodded and said. "Actually, there's no need to rush your breakthrough; you can take some time to comprehend. Once you break through, that state will be lost."
"I see. What you said makes sense. Then please take care of my companion in green; I'll wait a couple of days before going out!" Ren Pingsheng thought for a moment and felt this method was good.
"Don't worry!" He said and then disappeared, leaving the Trial Sword Tower.
"I didn't expect that this state would disappear after breaking through; it seems I should slow down a bit."
"That’s fine too, but you can focus on improving two types of Artistic Conception. You should know that when you break through, that state will be much stronger than this; at that time, you'll at least be able to comprehend three types of Artistic Conception," the Demon Emperor reminded him.
"That's right. This time I'll focus on comprehending Cloud Realm! During my breakthrough, I'll also understand other Artistic Conceptions and Sword Momentum." Having made his decision, he continued to close his eyes and delve into comprehension. The Storm Rising beside him was unpredictable.
Xiao Cangjian's appearance instantly attracted the attention of all martial artists. They stared intently, eager to rush over and ask what the outcome was to receive a definite answer.
"Did you break through?" In the end, it was the Demon Prince who stepped forward and asked with a hesitant expression.
"Yes, I broke through. Both of us did," he nodded and replied calmly.
"Then is the legend true? Is there really Heritage?" This was what everyone wanted to know.
"I suppose it's true! The Heritage is with me, but it's only a small part," Xiao Cangjian said after thinking for a moment, then quietly stared at the Trial Sword Tower and stopped speaking.
Upon hearing this, the others were filled with envy and jealousy. Even if it was just a small part, it made it hard for them to remain calm. After all, that was the Heritage of a Divine-Level Expert; even a part of it was impressive. Unfortunately, no one dared to take action. Not to mention his strength, even the power behind him was not something they could afford to offend.
As time passed little by little, two days went by in the blink of an eye. The news that someone had broken through the thirtieth level of the Trial Sword Tower spread throughout the Southern Region. Ren Pingsheng and Xiao Cangjian became hot topics among geniuses. Many talented individuals came to see the two in person over these two days.
"Isn't it about time?" Xiao Cangjian ignored the discussions around him regarding other martial artists. He opened his eyes and spoke towards the Trial Sword Tower. Yi Qingyi was sitting obediently beside him.
As soon as he finished speaking, a huge phoenix dragon appeared outside the time tower, instantly capturing the attention of all martial artists.
"The Wind and Cloud Sword Sovereign is starting to break through!" At that moment, they all shared this thought. They already knew that one could gain insights without time limits on the thirtieth level of the Trial Sword Tower. Now seeing this commotion, it was clear that it was caused by Ren Pingsheng, who had been staying there all along.
After two days of comprehension, Ren Pingsheng had raised his Cloud Realm to eighty percent but then hit a bottleneck. No matter how hard he tried, there was no progress. Without further delay, he finally prepared to break through.
The Soul Refinement Technique easily broke through; after a tumultuous change in his Sea of Consciousness, he sensed that his cultivation could no longer be suppressed.
