Chapter 3655 Natural Sword Bone
Although the grade of that treasure is unknown, judging from its aura alone, it is more powerful than many ancient immortal artifacts.

and.

more importantly.

It contains a power of Shen Changqing.

Not to mention ordinary cultivators, even many peak masters showed envy on their faces.

But envy is one thing.

No one dared to have any improper thoughts.

Anyone who dares to covet what this sect leader has bestowed will face dire consequences.

"Thank you for the reward, Sect Master!"

Xiao Ling was also excited. Although he didn't have time to observe the condition of the treasure in his dantian, he understood that such an opportunity was rare and hard to come by.

Shen Changqing said calmly, "Cultivate diligently. If you can reach the peak of the Immortal King realm, you can travel to the Divine Sun Domain. Perhaps you will even have the opportunity to leave your name on the Immortal King Stele!"

"This disciple will do his best."

Xiao Ling was shaken.

He had heard of the existence of the Immortal King Stele.

Heavenly Dao Divine Stele.

Only the most outstanding talents of our time can leave their mark.

Anyone who can enter the Immortal King Stele, even for just a moment, is enough to demonstrate their profound foundation, placing them among the top cultivators of the same realm in the entire Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.

As long as he doesn't die unexpectedly, breaking through to the Immortal Emperor realm in the future should be no problem.

Before this, Xiao Ling had also thought about vying for the opportunity of the Immortal King Stele, even though he knew that such an existence was too far removed from him.

but--

Even if there was only a sliver of hope, Xiao Ling was willing to give it a try.

This is why he had to undergo the Tribulation of the Ancient Immortal King.

Hearing what Shen Changqing said, Xiao Ling's confidence naturally increased.

Subsequently.

Shen Changqing glanced at the other person, and then his figure disappeared.

When they reappeared, they were already inside the Yangxin Residence.

"The Eternal Tribulation of the Immortal King!"

"The blessing bestowed upon this child by Heaven is no ordinary thing. If things continue like this, there is indeed a good chance that he can compete for the opportunity of the Immortal King's Stele!"

Shen Changqing pondered to himself.

Although the Eternal Immortal King Tribulation is not the threshold for the Immortal King Stele, 99% of the cultivators who can ascend to the Immortal King Stele are those who have survived the Eternal Immortal King Tribulation.

Only a very few individuals are able to rise against the odds and ultimately leave their mark on the Immortal King Stele without undergoing the Eternal Immortal King Tribulation.

However, this probability is extremely low.

Even among ten thousand cultivators who ascend the Immortal King Stele, it's not guaranteed that one will succeed.

Said without politeness.

The Eternal Immortal King Tribulation serves as the threshold for distinguishing ordinary geniuses from top geniuses.

Only by overcoming such a heavenly tribulation can one barely be considered a top-tier genius.

after all.

Once you survive the heavenly tribulation, you will receive blessings from the heavens.

Such blessings from Heaven are either top-tier treasures that perfectly suit a cultivator's own abilities, like the Burning Flame Emperor Bell in Ji Yang's possession.

These superior-grade Emperor Immortal artifacts, bestowed by the Heavenly Dao, are the pinnacle among Emperor Immortal artifacts of the same rank.

and.

For a newly ascended ancient immortal, a top-grade superior immortal artifact is enough to allow them to fight beyond their level and easily suppress other cultivators in the ancient immortal realm.

Just saying.

Ji Yang was the reincarnation of the Dao Venerable and possessed an innate immortal body, which is why the Burning Flame Emperor Bell did not appear to be particularly powerful.

But in fact, the importance of the Burning Flame Emperor Bell is by no means small.

These are priceless treasures.

It is enough to greatly improve the strength of many cultivators, and even if they break through to the Immortal Emperor realm later, it can still play a great role.

Closer to home.

Now that Xiao Ling has survived the Ancient Immortal King Tribulation, he at least has the key to unlock the Immortal King Stele. However, whether he can truly leave his name on such a divine stele depends on his own destiny.

……

The news that the Xuantian Dao Sect had produced another top genius naturally shocked all sides.

However, these effects were not too widespread.

After all, before Xiao Ling, the Xuan Tian Dao Sect had already produced several innate immortal bodies.

Even the Xuan Tian Sword Master, in the eyes of many cultivators, is probably a primordial immortal body.

otherwise.

How could the opponent have improved their cultivation and strength to this extent in such a short time?

In contrast.

Although Xiao Ling survived the Ancient Immortal King Tribulation, he was not a born immortal body, so his influence was much less.

Regardless, the appearance of a prodigy who has survived the ancient Immortal King Tribulation still attracts the attention of many forces.

On the summit of Sword Peak.

For many days.

Qianhen couldn't stop smiling.

After all, Xiao Ling had survived the Ancient Immortal King Tribulation and received personal praise from Shen Changqing, which naturally boosted Sword Peak's reputation.

Most importantly, Xiao Ling's potential has already begun to transform into true strength.

When the opponent was at the first level of the Great Power realm, he was able to suppress half-step Immortal Kings like Tantai Bai, whose strength was actually no weaker than that of an ordinary Immortal King.

In other words.

At that stage, Xiao Ling's strength was already no weaker than that of a Celestial King.

Now that he has broken through to the Immortal King realm and survived the Eternal Immortal King Tribulation, even if his strength cannot compare to that of the Ancient Immortal Realm, it is estimated that it is not much different.

If the other party can further consolidate their abilities, then being able to rival the ancient immortals will definitely not be a problem.

Fighting against those of higher ranks.

This is something unimaginable for ordinary cultivators.

But for top geniuses, it's naturally not a big problem.

With Xiao Ling's talent, if he cultivates step by step, he will have a chance to break through to the Ancient Immortal Realm in millions of years.

Got to that point.

Xiao Ling's strength is among the best in the entire Sword Peak.

If one is even luckier and manages to ascend the Immortal King's Stele, or even survive the Eternal Immortal Tribulation, that would be even more extraordinary.

of course.

Qianhen could also understand that truly achieving these two steps was extremely difficult. Even if Xiao Ling had now passed the Ancient Immortal King Tribulation, the probability of him succeeding in truly achieving this step was still not high.

"But I wonder what kind of blessing Xiao Ling received from Heaven this time!"

Qianhen took a deep breath, suppressing the distracting thoughts in his mind.

After successfully surviving his tribulation, Xiao Ling immediately went into seclusion to consolidate his cultivation, so he wasn't able to ask too many questions for the time being.
……

A month later.

Xiao Ling emerged from seclusion.

The first thing the other party did was to come and pay their respects to Qianhen.

"Master!"

Looking at the disciple before him, whose spirit and energy were completely different, Qianhen smiled and said, "You have undergone the eternal tribulation. I wonder what kind of blessing from the Heavenly Dao you have received?"

"What this disciple has obtained is a naturally born sword bone!"

"Born with sword bones?"

Qianhen looked puzzled.

In this regard.

This was the first time he had heard of it.

Xiao Ling said, "The so-called innate sword bone is a special physique, which is not within the category of immortal physique."

Those who are born with sword bones will achieve twice the results with half the effort in cultivating sword skills.

However, in terms of normal cultivation, the improvement isn't significant!

Hear the words.

Qianhen's expression became clear: "I see... However, although this innate sword bone is not a powerful immortal body or bloodline, it is still quite good for you."

"You already possess exceptional talent in swordsmanship. Now, with the addition of innate sword bones, your subsequent efforts to comprehend the great principles of the sword will undoubtedly be even more efficient!"

Qianhen was also aware of the so-called special constitution.

Unlike the immortal body, this type of physique can only improve one aspect and is not as comprehensive as the immortal body.

Like a celestial body, whether acquired or innate, as long as one possesses it, one can surpass ordinary cultivators in every aspect.

For example, the innate sword embryo immortal body is outstanding in swordsmanship, but similarly, the opponent's aptitude for cultivation has also improved considerably.

However, this is not the case for people with special physical conditions.

Prior to this.

The Xuantian Dao Sect also has special physical constitutions.

That is the ancient Dao Xuan of the peak of arts.

The other party possesses a clear and enlightened Dao mind, which can be considered a special physique. His cultivation of techniques and supernatural powers is as if he has divine assistance, hence the title of the Divine Lord of Ten Thousand Daos.

The so-called myriad paths.

It naturally refers to all kinds of supernatural powers.

of course.

The term "ten thousand paths" is an exaggeration, but it is enough to illustrate the power of a clear and enlightened Dao mind.

Gu Daoxuan is also relying on his advantage of having a clear Dao heart. Now, his strength is not only among the top ranks of the sect, but also among the strongest in the Nine Peaks.

Even some of the weaker peak masters among the nine peak masters might not be able to completely overpower Gu Daoxuan.

This.

That's the strength of a special physique.

of course.

If the other party can take advantage of this opportunity to transform their acquired bloodline into an innate bloodline, or even obtain an acquired immortal body, that would be even better.

After all, even the weakest acquired immortal body can still help the other party's cultivation aptitude to advance further.

With his acquired bloodline and innate sword bone, Xiao Ling is already quite good in Qianhen's eyes.

After all, while innate sword bones are not as good as immortal bodies or powerful bloodlines, they might be more useful to Xiao Ling than obtaining ordinary immortal bodies and bloodlines.

His swordsmanship aptitude was already formidable; with the addition of a natural sword bone, he was like a tiger with wings.

Think of this.

Qianhen took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement, and said with a serious expression: "What you need to do next is to raise your cultivation to the peak of Immortal King as much as possible."

You may ask for any cultivation resources you need during this period, and I will do my best to meet them.

However, just like those at the Great Power Realm, upon reaching the peak of the Immortal King Realm, there's no need to rush to break through to the Ancient Immortal Realm; one should accumulate experience as much as possible.

"in addition--"

"The sect leader once said that you have a chance to compete for the opportunity of the Heavenly Dao Divine Stele."

"If you can reach the peak of the Immortal King realm, I will shamelessly go to the sect master to plead with him and see if I can secure you a chance to travel to the Divine Sun Domain!"

The Divine Sun Domain and the Divine Heaven Domain are separated by many Immortal Domains. Without sufficient cultivation, attempting to traverse the Immortal Domains or even cross the Chaos Void is tantamount to suicide.

and so.

To reach the Divine Sun Domain, one must be led by a powerful expert.

Among the many powerful figures in the Xuantian Dao Sect, in Qianhen's opinion, only Shen Changqing and those few mysterious half-saint elders are truly capable of safely reaching the Divine Sun Domain.

But ultimately, the latter is also subject to the former's orders.

and so.

If Xiao Ling really goes to that point, as his master, he must do everything he can to secure a future for himself.

Xiao Ling was deeply moved: "Master's kindness is so great that even if I were to die, I could never repay it!"

"There's no need to say more. Your growth is the greatest reward for me and for Sword Peak."

The sect's strength is growing stronger every day. Once the Heavenly Dao Battlefield opens, the Divine Heaven Domain will inevitably be promoted to a high-level Immortal Domain, or even a top-level Immortal Domain.

If Jianfeng doesn't improve by then, it won't just be a matter of losing face!

Qianhen sighed.

As the master of Sword Peak, he also bears considerable pressure.

Fortunately.

Now that Xiao Ling has emerged from Jianfeng, it's no problem for him to shoulder the heavy responsibility of Jianfeng in the future.
