“Aw…” A sudden whimper of grievance interrupted Ren Pingsheng's contemplation. He looked down and saw Little White Fox listlessly lying on one side.
“Oh dear, I was so engrossed in my cultivation that I forgot about you, Little One. You must be starving!” he asked with genuine concern, then bent down to pick her up.
“Alright, now I’ll go roast some meat for you to make up for the grievances of these past three days!” Ren Pingsheng said with a smile, and soon, under Little White Fox's expectant gaze, he brought over a Fierce Beast Corpse and set it on fire to roast.
“Aw…” Little White Fox cheered with her head tilted back, then began to circle around the campfire, eager to rush over and feast immediately.
“You little glutton, don’t rush; it will be ready soon.” He held her still to prevent her from moving around too much, and before long, an enticing aroma wafted through the air.
“Eat! Eat!” Once it was ready, Ren Pingsheng placed pieces of roasted meat in front of her. Watching her eat happily filled his heart with joy.
“You’ve gotten yourself all dirty again; I really can’t stand you. There’s no one else here to compete with you, so why can’t you eat slowly?” Seeing Little White Fox’s fur covered in grease and dirt, he couldn’t help but sigh. Then he circulated True Qi around her, and her white fur became clean and tidy again.
“Not bad; your cultivation level is quite impressive; you’ve actually broken through to Zongji Jing.” Ren Pingsheng said with a surprised smile as he looked at the person before him.
“Of course! Just look at who I am; I’m a genius!” The speaker was Chu Xiao, one of Ren Pingsheng’s earliest friends. He hadn’t expected him to return.
“It seems you just got back today.”
“That’s right. A year and a half ago, I received a summons from the sect asking some disciples who were traveling abroad to return. They said there was great trouble in the sect. However, I happened to have just entered a secret realm at that time, so I delayed my return. Later, I heard that the danger faced by the sect was resolved by you. Nevertheless, the sect still summoned many disciples back for an important discussion, so here I am.”
“It looks like your cultivation is mainly from your gains in the secret realm?” Ren Pingsheng glanced at him and had some guesses; this level of cultivation seemed like it had only recently been achieved.
“I did gain quite a bit in that secret realm and even obtained some Zongji Jing techniques, which made me happy for a while. However, after returning, I found that the sect also has a wealth of Zongji Jing techniques and martial skills; this should be thanks to you!” Chu Xiao said with an understanding expression.
"Ha ha, I suppose so! By the way, speaking of cultivation techniques, I happen to have a good one here for you to practice. But make sure not to let anyone know, okay?" He laughed as he tossed over a Jade Tablet.
"Oh, what technique is this? So mysterious." He took it and immediately widened his eyes in disbelief, looking at Ren Pingsheng as if he had seen a ghost. "Is this for real?"
"Would I lie to you? Kong Zhan and the others are practicing it too, so you can't fall behind them," Ren Pingsheng nodded and said.
"Haha, don't worry, I'm a genius; I'll definitely surpass them." Chu Xiao paused for a moment before laughing, but there was deep gratitude in his eyes.
"Alright, go back and cultivate well! I might leave in half a year, so this Azure Wind Sword Sect will be left in your hands."
"Don't worry, by the time you return, my cultivation will surely astonish you."
After chatting for a while, the two parted ways. Chu Xiao had just returned to the sect and surely had many things to attend to. Moreover, cultivators often spend little time together. The most important thing is cultivation; once they become strong, there will be plenty of time to reunite.
At this moment, Ren Pingsheng had already been in this Mountain Valley for a year and a half. Although the Jizhou Ascending Dragon Conference was three years away, he needed to visit Xuanjian Sect first six months prior to the Rising Dragon Conference. So he mentioned leaving in half a year. Two years' time plus travel would be about right.
One day, Ren Pingsheng was cultivating, his Sword Momentum radiating all around him—sometimes heavy as a mountain, sometimes sharp and endless. He was comprehending Sword Momentum. To become a King-Level Expert, the most important point is to condense momentum into intent. This means he needed to transform Sword Momentum into sword intent.
Only then could he be considered to have entered the King Level Boundary. Compared to the evolution of Profound Meaning, understanding sword intent is much more difficult. In fact, between Zongji Jing and King Level Boundary, there exists another realm known as Pseudo-King Realm.
This realm is referred to by those who have no hope of breaking through the King Level Boundary but have far surpassed Zongji Jing and Half-Step Monarchs. Unable to condense momentum into intent and break through yet unwilling to accept their fate, they take an alternative path by evolving and comprehending multiple Profound Meanings, focusing on these Profound Meanings instead. The fusion of various Profound Meanings results in great power.
Generally, anyone who can evolve even one Profound Meaning is called a Half-Step Monarch. Such individuals typically focus on understanding 'intent'; once they comprehend 'intent,' they will break through and become King-Level Experts.
At this stage, they do not spend too much energy on Profound Meaning but strive for a quicker breakthrough. Because after breaking through, comprehending Profound Meaning becomes much easier than when they were Half-Step Monarchs.
After realizing that he had made only slight progress after a day of contemplation, just as he was about to conclude his insights, the Killing Heart within him began to tremble. This Heart was a fusion of the Demon God Heart and the Killing Heart, with its lower half being a grayish-white Killing Heart.
The Killing Heart, for some unknown reason, started vibrating continuously, and pure gray Killing Power surged forth, circulating through the Meridian.
This abnormality startled Ren Pingsheng, prompting him to observe the Killing Heart with a calm mind. He had previously examined it, curious about its mysterious nature and how it could exponentially enhance one's power. Unfortunately, there had been no reactions until now.
As he once again probed into the Killing Heart with his spiritual sense, he suddenly felt something calling out to him. Before he could react, everything around him darkened.
When he regained consciousness, he found himself in a grayish-white space. It was empty, filled with gray Killing Power everywhere.
"Is this place similar to the Demon God Heart, the internal space of the Killing Heart? But there’s nothing here; what purpose could there be in pulling me into this place?" Ren Pingsheng said with some confusion after calming down.
Time passed slowly, and the space remained quiet without any unusual reactions. It seemed that Ren Pingsheng's arrival had no impact whatsoever.
"Strange, am I trapped here?" He looked around with a somewhat grim expression. His entry had been inexplicable, and now he had no idea how to leave.
After wandering around for a while without any discoveries, he decided to sit down and continue his cultivation. In his view, the Killing Heart wouldn’t have brought him here for no reason; perhaps the timing wasn’t right, so he could only settle down and wait patiently.
However, just as the Sword Momentum emanated from him, the entire Killing Heart began to shake. The grayish-white Killing Power in the empty space unexpectedly formed into monstrous figures that lunged at him with endless ferocity.
"This is bad!" Ren Pingsheng's expression changed dramatically. The Sword Momentum condensed like a sharp sword flashing continuously, shattering the approaching monsters back into streams of grayish-white Killing Power. Unfortunately, the monsters kept coming; even after waves were defeated, their numbers showed no signs of diminishing.
Finally, after enduring for three hours, Ren Pingsheng felt darkness enveloping him as countless monsters overwhelmed him. Then he opened his eyes to find himself still seated in the Mountain Valley, seemingly untouched. However, everything was dimmed before his eyes, and his mind felt foggy. His spiritual energy was depleted, leaving his entire Sea of Consciousness feeling empty.
He barely had time to think about this before activating the Soul Refinement Technique. Countless streams of Soul energy flowed in from afar, filling the vacant Sea of Consciousness. His spirit gradually improved, but his body and mind still felt heavy, and his eyelids began to droop.
Finally, he closed his eyes and fell asleep, only waking up a day later. Upon opening his eyes, he felt completely refreshed. It was then that he began to reflect on the situation with Killing Heart from yesterday.
"Why does it feel somewhat similar to the space of Magic Crystal? Could it be?" He immediately closed his eyes again and began to sense Sword Momentum. After a while, he broke into a delighted smile.
"Haha... just as I thought, this Killing Heart can actually refine Sword Momentum." Originally, he had only comprehended 82% of Sword Momentum, but now it had increased to 83%. This indicated that after the slaughter in the space of Killing Heart yesterday, his Sword Momentum had made a one percent improvement.
How could such a thing not excite him? This meant he could grasp Sword Momentum more quickly and, when the time was right, condense it into sword intent.
"Great, then I'll refine Sword Momentum to perfection first!" Ren Pingsheng calmed his excited heart, prepared provisions for Little White Fox, and then continued with the slaughter in the space of Killing Heart.
He would only emerge after exhausting his spiritual energy, and after a whole day of cultivation, he would re-enter. Every day was like this, passing through endless Battle.
Not only did this enhance his mastery of Sword Momentum, but it also became increasingly condensed. Now he had reached the level of 99%, and just one more step would lead him to the Perfected State.
Currently, he was engaged in Battle, with nine swords formed from Sword Momentum flying around him. He executed various Sword Techniques, all of which he had learned before, now applied through Sword Momentum. Using Sword Momentum instead of Artistic Conception, its power was equally formidable.
"Shatter for me!" As monsters threatened to overwhelm him, Ren Pingsheng shouted loudly. The nine swords slashed out simultaneously, creating a powerful shockwave that scattered hundreds and thousands of monsters. However, he was soon engulfed by the monsters that surged in afterward.
"Ah... finally broke through. I didn't expect that this last bit would require me to enter the slaughter space three times before I could officially break through." When he opened his eyes, he fought against the dizziness and first practiced the Soul Refinement Technique before collapsing into sleep.
This time he slept soundly; his Sword Momentum had reached perfection. He had completed another goal, but he still had little idea about how to condense sword intent. However, these things couldn't be rushed; they would eventually be resolved during the cultivation process.
