"It seems like breaking through to the grandmaster realm is harder than I thought!"
After two years of closed-door cultivation, he was no longer a young man at the intermediate stage of the Xiantian realm.
Two months ago, he had managed to reach the advanced stage of the Xiantian realm and was only one step away from the grandmaster realm.
However, just this one step he could not pass in these two months.
"Victor, are you worried about breaking through to the grandmaster realm?"
At this moment, the sound of the door being pushed open came from behind.
Zhang Lingren walked out of the courtyard.
Viktor's eyes sparkled. Zhang Lingren's understanding of cultivation was one of the best in the entire Jianghu.
Perhaps he could ask for advice and obtain a breakthrough method.
Viktor nodded. “Master, I have been stuck in the realm of a half-step grandmaster for two months. How am I not worried? ”
At this point, Victor could not help but sigh again.
“Eh..”
Zhang Lingren's face stiffened, and the corner of his mouth could not hold Twitch back.
He raised his hand, but Zhang Lingren put it down again.
At that moment, he could barely contain himself and slapped him.
Two months is a long time?
Countless were unable to take this step throughout their lives and ended up becoming half a grandmaster for the rest of their lives.
Not to mention the others, just senior brother Victor alone, how many of them had reached the grandmaster realm?
This kid on the other hand complained when he had just been stuck for two months.
If he did not know Victor well, Zhang Lingren would think that Victor was deliberately bragging in front of him.
Thinking back to when he had been trapped for nearly a year as a half grandmaster, Zhang Lingren's old face could not help but blush.
"Sir, do you have a good idea?"
Victor turned to look at Zhang Lingren, his face full of hope.
Zhang Lingren had experienced this stage a long time ago, so he definitely had some experience.
“I do have an idea, but saying it out loud may not be good for you.
“I can only tell you that the level of half a grandmaster is a huge threshold for us cultivators.
“Some people might make a breakthrough in three to five months.
“Or they might be stuck at the level of a half-step grandmaster for the rest of their lives, unable to advance any further.
“This is because the grandmaster level means we can already communicate with the spiritual energy around it and achieve a true energy release.
“To communicate with the spiritual energy around it and achieve the release of true energy, we must first activate the innate qi hidden in our body.”
"Inborn qi?"
Victor is no stranger to this term. He had seen it in a fantasy novel, like the Xianxia novel.
"That's right, innate qi!"
Zhang Lingren stroked his white beard, then placed his hands behind his back and continued.
“The so-called innate qi is a very pure type of spiritual qi contained within a person's body before they are born.
“Most innate qi will be contaminated by qi obtained from the outside world after a person is born. Only a small part of it will be hidden in the corners of our body.
“To break through to the grandmaster realm, the innate qi hidden in our bodies needs to be activated and then upgraded to a higher level of spiritual essence.
“This is all I can say to you. As for the corner of our body where the innate qi is hidden, I cannot tell you.
“Because the innate qi hidden in everyone's body may be different.”
"Master, then how should I find the innate qi?"
“With your heart!”
“With my heart?”
Zhang Lingren nodded.
“Victor, you can't rush!
“Sometimes, the more anxious you are, the more unproductive.
“At this time, you might as well focus on other things.
"For example, the way of the sword!"
"Swarp?"
Victor looked at Zhang Lingren doubtfully.
"Fuckin' thick! Road sword!”!
“Are you not paying attention?
Viktor was confused. He did not understand why Zhang Lingren had suddenly mentioned sword talent.
"Victor, do you think the pinnacle of sword talent is just to cultivate sword techniques perfectly?"
Zhang Lingren turned to look at Victor. Without waiting for Victor to answer, he answered his own question.
“No, quite the opposite. This is just the beginning of the way of the sword!”
"The beginning of the way of the sword?"
Victor's body trembled.
He suddenly recalled that three years ago, not long after the system had awakened, he asked the system what was the point of downloading the sword path talent.
At that moment, the system had told him that with sword talent, he could walk towards the peak of the sword path.
The system said so, and Zhang Lingren said the same thing now.
"That's fine. Only when a set of swordsmanship reached the stage of transformation could it be considered the beginning of swordsmanship. The previous ones, such as the early success stage or the perfection stage, can only be considered as a good collection of swordsmanship.”
"Sir, then what was the beginning of swordsmanship?"
Victor was so excited.
He realized that aside from his cultivation, it seemed like he could also contemplate swordsmanship.
“Victor, take a good look! Feel it carefully!”
As soon as he finished talking.
Victor immediately felt a strong pressure coming out from Zhang Lingren's body.
At present.
Zhang Lingren seemed to have turned into a divine sword, moving unhindered and pressing in all directions!
"Oh? This is... Eight Sword Techniques Desolates?”
At this moment, not far from them.
The disciples responsible for clearing Zhang Lingren's courtyard suddenly felt a strong pressure.
It was as if an invisible mountain had emerged from thin air and fallen from the sky.
They all retreated one after another, trying to escape from Zhang Lingren's courtyard.
The explosion!
Two of the weakest disciples were sent flying by an invisible pressure.
Their faces were all red. It was clear that they could not control the blood qi in their bodies.
The other disciples were in better shape, but they were still forced to kneel on the ground under pressure, unable to move!
Not to mention the other disciples, Victor, who was the closest to Zhang Lingren, also felt suffocated by the pressure.
The pressure comes and goes quickly!
With a thought from Zhang Lingren, the pressure disappeared without a trace.
“Teacher, what is this? It was so strong!”
Viktor's eyes sparkled.
He felt that if he could master this pressure, he could directly suppress those who were in the same realm!
"This is the sword force that I have developed from the Eight Desolates Sword technique after my sword technique reached a state of transformation, suppressing eight desolates!"
“Swield strength? Suppressing eight desolate? ”
Victor thought about it carefully. The pressure earlier was indeed an aura that seemed to suppress everything.
"Fuckin' thick! This is the power of the sword!”!
“Do not think that the power of the sword is the most powerful. In fact, I just reached the first stage.
“After the power of the sword, there is still sword intent!
“Unfortunately, I just reached the completion of sword force. My path is still long before reaching sword intent!”
“Swield strength? Sword Intent? ”
Zhang Lingren's words undoubtedly opened the door for Victor, a door that led to the peak of talent in the sword.
After which, Zhang Lingren chatted with Victor for almost half an hour.
After they finished chatting, Victor once again stepped into the courtyard and began cultivating in a closed manner.
This time, he did not try to break through to the half-grandmaster realm.
Instead, he wanted to see if he could understand sword force or even sword intent!
Time passed quickly while Victor was in seclusion.
In the blink of an eye, a year had passed.
At this moment, there was only half a year left until Zhang Lingren's 300th birthday.
