Cultivation Begins with Skill Points-Chapter 285 "Six Void Sword Scripture

Purple Cloud Sect.

Fire Cloud Palace.

Zhong Lin sat cross-legged before the Pill Furnace, eyes slightly closed, with a misty aura surrounding him.

Half an hour later, Zhong Lin suddenly opened his eyes.

"Master, should I make the breakthrough to Yun Ling now..."

He stopped halfway through his sentence, looking at the empty hall, and chuckled helplessly.

"Suddenly having no one to talk to feels quite unfamiliar."

He had been used to having Chen Jia accompany him; although the old guy had ill intentions, he was like an encyclopedia, always having answers for any question.

"What a pity."

Zhong Lin shook his head, showing a trace of regret.

Zhong Lin was contemplating whether to break through to the Yunling Realm.

The Spirit Embryo Realm has no stages like early, middle, or perfection; a breakthrough is simply a breakthrough, and there’s no beginner or intermediate for a Spiritual Body.

As long as the accumulation is sufficient and the conditions are met, one can break through at any time.

The next realm is the Yunling Realm,

which is the "Spirit" among the three treasures of essence, energy, and spirit.

To break through, one must open the Soul Palace, which is the storehouse of Divine Soul, containing the Divine Soul.

The Yunling Realm is about opening the Soul Palace, strengthening the Divine Soul, and using the Soul Palace to nurture Spiritual Artifacts.

Zhong Lin was not unfamiliar with the Soul Palace; when Chen Jia attempted body seizing, it manifested in his Soul Palace, and he himself used external force to reveal his Divine Soul.

However, at that time, his Divine Soul was enveloped by the Soul Palace, with no connection to the outside, like a rootless duckweed, which is why it was dimmer and could not compare to Chen Jia.

Only by opening the Soul Palace, nurturing the divine with essence, and condensing with energy, can one strengthen the Divine Soul and move to the next realm.

If it were an ordinary Martial Artist, they would need the help of an elixir to break through to the Yunling Realm.

The Sixth Grade Elixir: Soul Breaking Pill.

This elixir can penetrate the Soul Palace, nurture the Divine Soul, and strengthen the soul body, allowing one to break open the Soul Palace and step into the Yunling Realm from within.

There are also various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to strengthen the Divine Soul. For instance, the "Jade Infant Divine Flower" Zhong Lin acquired in the Seven Star Secret Realm, which has effects similar to the Soul Breaking Pill, or even stronger.

Another way is to constantly enhance one’s conception. Like on the day of the body seizing, Zhong Lin’s Divine Soul clashed with Chen Jia using Sword Intent.

When the conception reaches a certain extent, one can rely on their own power to open the Soul Palace and step into the Yunling Realm.

However, to reach that extent, one must at least comprehend eighty percent of the conception. novelbuddy.cσ๓

An eighty percent comprehension of Sword Intent, "Sword Refining into Silk," results in extremely consolidated power, enough to break the Soul Palace even with a dim Divine Soul and lacking Soul Power.

Zhong Lin currently has only comprehended fifty percent of Sword Intent, and another step forward will be "Sword Qi to Thunder Sound," with Fist Intent merely reaching thirty percent.

This is insufficient to break open the Soul Palace and enter the Yunling Realm.

So he’s pondering whether to use the Jade Infant Divine Flower to breakthrough with its power.

After thinking for a while, Zhong Lin shook his head again.

"No rush, I’ve just formed the Spiritual Body and need time to contemplate and stabilize my foundation."

"During this time, I can also think of ways to gather some sword martial skills, and see if I can advance my Sword Intent further. If I can break through on my own, the effects of using the Jade Infant Divine Flower will be even better, since without the Soul Palace’s obstruction, the effect remains unconsumed."

"Moreover, enhancing combat power isn’t solely about breaking through to the Yunling Realm."

Zhong Lin’s eyes gleamed, a slight smile emerging on his lips.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

The hall door was pushed open, and Tang Xueyuan walked in gracefully, her body softening as she sat directly in Zhong Lin’s lap.

"Master."

A smile appeared on Zhong Lin’s face as his right hand naturally navigated onto a soft peak.

Tang Xueyuan adjusted her posture slightly to allow Zhong Lin to touch more comfortably.

"What’s the matter?"

"Mu Qing is here again."

At the mention of Mu Qing, Tang Xueyuan pouted, clearly displeased.

Zhong Lin laughed heartily and casually said, "Let her come then!"

After the battle at the port, Mu Qing became intensely curious about Zhong Lin and visited the Fire Cloud Palace frequently.

Zhong Lin didn’t mind, thinking she couldn’t devour him anyway; on the contrary, it’d be good if he didn’t devour her entirely.

With Ouyang Daoyong in mind, Zhong Lin had not acted against Mu Qing and even occasionally gifted her elixirs, which led Mu Qing to help him gather many sword martial skills in return.

"Go open the door, let her in."

"Alright!"

Tang Xueyuan pouted, reluctantly getting up. Though she disliked Mu Qing, she would never refuse Zhong Lin.

Tang Xueyuan was clever, knowing her everything came from Zhong Lin, and she would execute any request he made with absolute dedication, without the slightest neglect.

Moments later, Mu Qing, clad in white, stepped into the Fire Cloud Palace. Her white attire accentuated her purity, but her fuller body added a touch of sensuality within her innocence. Two seemingly opposite temperaments fused together, making others take a few more glances, igniting a flame of passion within.

"Disciple greets Elder Zhong."

Mu Qing bowed, her posture extremely proper, yet her tone dripping with seduction, the extreme contrast making one almost cry out in exasperation.

Beside her, Tang Xueyuan pursed her lips, secretly cursing "slut" while contemplating whether to attend classes at Minghua Building, feeling entirely overshadowed by Mu Qing except for her openness. But she worried about what if Zhong Lin got bored one day.

Zhong Lin placed a newly acquired Elixir Recipe aside, smiled and said, "No need for formalities."

Mu Qing stood up slowly, retrieving a Jade Scroll from her Storage Bracelet.

"Elder Zhong, Master has asked me to deliver the ’Six Void Sword Scripture’ to you."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Lin’s eyes lit up.

The ’Six Void Sword Scripture’ is an Earth Level Middle Grade Martial Arts skill, one of the core cultivation techniques of the Purple Cloud Sect, normally only the Sect Master gets to practice it, disciples seldom get the chance to see it.

Zhong Lin had previously wished to study it, but was declined by Ouyang Daoyong.

Now it’s sent over, clearly because Zhong Lin’s extraordinary combat prowess left them shocked.

Mu Qing handed over the Jade Scroll with a somewhat complex expression, recalling what Senior Brother Wan Pu vaguely said when passing it to her.

"Elder Zhong is an unparalleled genius, since you’re acquainted with him, do not miss the opportunity of fate."

The meaningful gaze at the end made Mu Qing’s heart tremble slightly.

Somewhat confused why a brief outing changed her understanding of Elder Zhong so vastly, even hinting that her relationship with him could advance further.

Advancing further would mean ending up in bed.
