Versatile Sword Cultivator

[-3500!]

[-3500!]

[-3500!]

Realizing he had underestimated his opponent, Ti Wushen angrily swung his blade, cutting down all the clones.

However, Lin Jichen's true form appeared behind him like a ghost. By the time Ti Wushen reacted, a sword formation had already formed under his feet.

"Blade Storm!"

Countless phantom swords flew out from the formation, surrounding Ti Wushen.

[-2811!]

[-2811!]

[-2811!]

Wounds kept appearing on Ti Wushen's body. Gritting his teeth, he fled from the range of the sword formation.

But because he forcibly left the formation, a sword mark appeared above his head.

[Slowed: Movement speed reduced by 40%, lasts 15 seconds.]

[Bleeding: Loses 300 HP per second, lasts 15 seconds.]

[Armor Break: Defense reduced by 20%, lasts 15 seconds.]

The perfected version of Blade Storm was much more effective than before.

Seeing the three negative statuses on Ti Wushen, Lin Jichen immediately chased after him with his sword.

Martial Arts Techniques and Spirit Skills were thrown at Ti Wushen as if they cost nothing.

Just as Lin Jichen's mana was about to run out, the passive effect of Spirit Energy Rain triggered, replenishing 40% of his mana!

In contrast, Ti Wushen kept using movement techniques to dodge. He had already used up most of his mana earlier and was hit twice by Lin Jichen's Ghost Slash, losing nearly half of his mana.

His mana was already depleted, and he could only use basic blade techniques to barely defend himself.

But how could he be a match for Lin Jichen now?

An artifact cultivator with skills and one without, though not as exaggerated as a spell cultivator, still meant that Ti Wushen was at a disadvantage.

Moreover, with Lin Jichen controlling the rhythm of the battle, Ti Wushen was even more passive.

The balance of their fight, which had been evenly matched, was now tipping.

In fact, if Lin Jichen used Spirit Energy Rain and Thunder Vein Inheritor and switched back to spell cultivation, he could instantly become a spell machine gun, invincible in spell cultivation.

But alas, Lin Jichen was completely captivated by the allure of sword cultivation. He was determined to become the number one Sword Cultivator and the Sword Immortal of the Tale of Immortal!

Of course, it wasn't just the profession of sword cultivation that captivated him, but also a certain beauty on Sword Palace Mountain~

In the end, Ti Wushen couldn't escape Lin Jichen's endless techniques and seemingly infinite skills and died under his sword, his body and soul destroyed.

After dealing with Ti Wushen, Lin Jichen sat down to rest. Since entering the prison, he had been fighting various Gathering Spirit Realm bosses.

His energy and stamina were long exhausted, and he just wanted to log off and get a good night's sleep.

As for the remaining Tie Yehai, he didn't need to worry about him anymore.

Sure enough, it wasn't long before the good news of Tie Yehai's beheading came.

The girls returned immediately after defeating Tie Yehai, only to find that Lin Jichen had already finished.

Cheers and celebrations erupted on the third floor of the prison.

They had actually passed the Snowstorm Prison!

Lin Jichen hadn't expected it either. The Hell difficulty of Snowstorm Prison was indeed very challenging. The best way would have been to attempt it after reaching the late-Golden Elixir stage, which would have made it much easier.

Or at least bring a few more strong teammates, which would have made it a lot easier.

He had been a bit overconfident and underestimated the challenge, attempting Snowstorm Prison at the early-Golden Elixir stage with a few lazy teammates.

Like Shi Xiyue, Zhao Baige, and Liu Xiazi, who were all lazy teammates.

His team had three main damage dealers, none of whom were even at the Gathering Spirit Realm, yet they dared to venture in.

It could only be said that they were bold because of their high skill level.

This served as a wake-up call for Lin Jichen. Although he was getting stronger, in this perilous world of Tale of Immortal, he still had a long way to go to walk unchallenged.

Lin Jichen could confidently say that within a month, no other team could clear this Secret Realm.

Unless someone could assemble a team of top experts, with at least half of them at the Gathering Spirit Realm level.

Otherwise, passing this stage was simply a pipe dream.

After the battle, three Soul Burial Mounds remained to be opened.

Shi Xiyue went to open Fei Baihe's Soul Burial Mound, leaving the other two to Lin Jichen.

Shi Xiyue was the first to open Fei Baihe's Soul Burial Mound, revealing three Earth Grade items, five Mysterious Grade items, and a pile of Spirit Stones.

Among the three Earth Grade items, two were gold and one was purple.

For an early Gathering Spirit Realm boss, this was already very good.

Everyone was curious about the Earth Grade loot.

Having been with Lin Jichen for a long time, Mysterious Grade gold items no longer held much appeal.

The two Earth Grade gold items were a staff and a skill book.

[Earth Grade Weapon · Lihuo Staff]: Mental Power 120, Critical Hit 100, Fire Skill Damage 15%, each skill cast adds 1000 points of fire attribute damage and restores 100 points of mana.

[Double Casting]: Allows a Spirit Skill of Earth Grade or below to be cast again without any cost.

[Soul Chain]: Locks onto an enemy's soul, doubling the range of attacks on the target.

[Flame Barrier]: Creates a barrier of flames. Anyone passing through the barrier suffers burning damage, losing 1% HP per second for 8 seconds.

Requirement: Usable by spell cultivators at the Golden Elixir stage or above.

...

[Earth Grade Ultimate Technique · Seven Transformations of Heavenly Fire]: After a 4-second chant, summons seven different colored flames, each with unique effects and power, freely switchable.

Red Flame: Single-target damage flame, deals 15000 base skill damage to a single enemy.

Green Flame: Area damage flame, deals 4000 base skill damage to each enemy in the area.

Purple Flame: Continuous damage flame, deals burning damage to enemies in a small area, losing 2% HP per second for 10 seconds.

Orange Flame: Single-target defense flame, summons an orange flame to protect oneself, doubling defense for 30 seconds.

Blue Flame: Team defense flame, summons a blue flame to protect teammates in the area, lasting 30 seconds.

Cooldown: 3 days, Mana Cost: 20000 points.

Wow!

Everyone looked envious. These were amazing!

Both items were for spell cultivators.

There was no need to discuss who would get them.

"Then I won't be polite," Jiang Luoyu happily accepted the two items.

Besides Lin Jichen, she and Ren Lan had performed exceptionally well in this Secret Realm, making great contributions.

It was only right for her to take these two pieces of loot.

The remaining Earth Grade purple item was also a staff, but its attributes were far inferior to the Lihuo Staff.

Jiang Luoyu naturally didn't take it, and everyone decided to leave it to Lin Jichen to handle.

With such a rich haul from the first Soul Burial Mound, what treasures would the remaining two hold?

This novel is available on bit.ly/3iBfjkV.

Lin Jichen began to look forward to it.

He first went to Tie Yehai's Soul Burial Mound and opened it.

Again, there were three Earth Grade items, but surprisingly, all three were Earth Grade gold!

"Wow! It's confirmed! Lin the Great, I bet your luck is great luck! Isn't it?"

Su Wanling was certain. Lin Jichen had never admitted it before, but now she didn't need to know to guess.

Lin Jichen smiled slightly and didn't deny it, continuing to examine the three golden treasures.

[Earth Grade Weapon...
