Transmigration After Becoming Love Saint

A year passed, and Wang Mu truly understood the meaning of the saying: 'cultivation knows no passage of years.'

It flashed by in the blink of an eye.

His daily cultivation and meditation seemed to pass even more quickly than playing video games in his past life.

If he were refining a batch of elixirs, time would seem to pass even faster.

Wang Mu sat atop a roof on Heavenly Sword Peak, absorbing and refining the dawn's Spiritual Energy. He hadn't gone anywhere these past few months.

The Sword Sect's history spans a thousand years, yet almost no one has cultivated the Energy Introduction Skill to the Eighteen Layers Realm...

Oh, wait, that's not right. There was one; Yan Qingwu, it seems.

Normal disciples can only cultivate up to the ninth layer. After that, they cannot continue and must choose to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Hmm... I feel like I can still continue cultivating?

He opened his eyes, feeling the pure Spiritual Power within his body.

Right now, I only have Spiritual Power filling four of my ten Spiritual Acupoints. Even though I've cultivated to the ninth layer, the fifth Spiritual Acupoint isn't filled yet...

Does that mean if I fill all the Spiritual Acupoints in my body with Spiritual Energy, I'll roughly reach the Eighteen Layers Realm?

Ordinary disciples couldn't cultivate to higher layers because their bodies couldn't store more Spiritual Power.

However, Wang Mu, with his Hundred Refinement Body Technique at one hundred layers, possessed ten Spiritual Acupoints. These slowly revolved, constantly absorbing the Spiritual Energy from the heavens and earth, allowing his body to store far more Spiritual Power than that of ordinary Cultivators.

It was just that after reaching the ninth layer, his cultivation speed had slowed considerably.

Without using Action Points, the progress of his Energy Introduction Skill was so slow it was practically negligible.

The more Spiritual Power in the body, the harder it is to control...

Wang Mu pondered slightly. For every additional bit of Spiritual Power I cultivate, I need to perform the Grand Circulation several more times. This means that with each layer I progress, more Divine Sense is needed to control the Spiritual Power within my body.

Both of my auxiliary cultivation methods are Fulfilled, especially the Heart Calming Illusion Sword Technique. My Divine Sense is far beyond what it was a year ago.

Even with Flying Swords, I can control several at once without diminishing their power.

But even so, if I continue to cultivate by pouring Action Points into it, I might struggle to advance even one layer a month. Progress in the later layers would likely be even slower...

I wonder if I can cultivate to the Eighteen Layers Realm in two years...

During these two years, I won't be able to use Action Points to cultivate anything else... And also...

Upon careful consideration, it felt like a significant trade-off.

In fact, reaching the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer in one year already placed him far ahead of the current entry-level disciples.

Most disciples from his intake cohort were only around the fourth or fifth layer. The more talented ones were only at the sixth or seventh layer, with only a very select few reaching the Eighth Layer Realm.

I was planning to improve my Alchemy Skill this year...

Wang Mu shook his head. However, there was a serious problem.

He could no longer improve his Alchemy Skill.

After his Alchemy Skill reached level 10, refining Low-grade Elixirs no longer increased his proficiency. To advance this skill, he had to start refining Mid-grade Elixirs.

The issue was that many of the medicines required for Mid-grade Elixirs needed a higher intensity of Spirit Flame for refinement. Only after reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage, where Spiritual Power liquefied, could one stably refine them using True Fire.

This was unless one possessed a Top-grade Fire Spiritual Root or a special constitution, which would allow someone in the Qi Refining Realm to use Spirit Flame to refine Mid-grade Elixirs.

I have neither of those...

Either I break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage, so my Alchemy Skill can continue to improve...

Otherwise...

I'd have to rely on luck to find one of those Innate Divine Flames... but such things are extremely rare.

In this vast world, how could it be so easy to obtain one? The slightest rumor of such a Supreme Treasure would stir up a storm, leading to endless contention from all quarters.

Forget it. I should learn some other Spells first...

Wang Mu sighed and went to find Su Yu to ask about Spells.

"Ah, Junior Brother, you finally remembered you wanted to learn Spells?" Su Yu sounded somewhat excited. "I thought that after immersing yourself in cultivation these past few months, you had long forgotten about them. Spiritual Power may be our foundation, but you absolutely mustn't neglect learning Spells!"

"It's generally said that one can start learning them once their Energy Introduction Skill reaches the fourth or fifth level and their auxiliary cultivation methods reach two or three layers."

"When I returned a few months ago, I heard disciples from other Sword Peaks say your Energy Introduction Skill was already at the Sixth Layer half a year ago. Although it gets progressively harder, you should be at the seventh or eighth layer by now, right?"

Su Yu took out a tome, flipped it open, and explained, "Our Heavenly Sword Peak primarily focuses on sword techniques; you should be familiar with the Brotherhood Nine Sword Technique. This sword technique is powerful and can only be cultivated at the Foundation Establishment Stage. The primary sword techniques of other Sword Peaks also generally require the Foundation Establishment Stage. Otherwise, even if one learns one or two forms, being unable to execute them properly would be quite embarrassing."

"However, there are quite a few sword techniques available to those in the Qi Refining Realm. You also learned the Sword Control Technique on your own while I was away."

"So, let me introduce you to a few advanced sword techniques."

Advanced?

"That's right. The Sword Control Technique has many advanced variations that are very powerful in the Qi Refining Realm. Some only require a few layers of mastery to become significantly more potent than a Fulfilled Sword Control Technique. Of course, if both your auxiliary cultivation methods are Fulfilled, the Sword Control Technique alone would actually be enough to dominate the Qi Refining Realm."

"However, when you're out gaining experience through actual combat, you're bound to encounter enemies stronger than yourself. In those situations, relying solely on the Sword Control Technique won't be enough."

Wang Mu nodded upon hearing this.

"The first one to mention is, naturally, the sword technique most revered by Qi Refining Realm disciples in our Sword Sect: the Ten Thousand Sword Technique."

...Wang Mu.

I know this one!

It's like an infinite version of the Sword Control Technique, right?

"As the saying goes, 'Humans, ghosts, Demons, and fiends—their numbers may be endless, but beneath the Ten Thousand Sword Technique, they all become wandering spirits!' This Ten Thousand Sword Technique is indeed one of the most famous sword techniques of our Sword Sect."

"Countless malevolent spirits, Demons, and fiendish creatures have all perished under this Ten Thousand Sword Technique."
