Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword-Chapter 111 - Initial Separation Realm

From above, the forest extended dozens of acres, lush and continuous.

Under each large tree, Spirit Grass might be growing, fostered alongside.

This was the unique planting method of the Dayan Sect, which was very effective but unfortunately lost with the sudden fall of the sect.

Finding Spirit Grass among a carpet of dry leaves, weeds, and roots was challenging.

Moreover, given the vastness of the area, even a month might not be enough to walk back and forth once!

However, major powers strictly forbid cutting down trees to search, for Cold Blue Country, this was a harvest period every eighteen years.

While cutting trees could improve the harvest once, it meant there would be no next time!

No power would allow such a situation to arise, whoever committed such an act would become the public enemy of Cold Blue Country, and everyone would condemn them.

Therefore, no one dared do such a thing.

Zhou Heng expanded his Divine Sense, paying most attention to the movements of the Black Broken Sword in his Dantian, as this grand entity was the top capacity for treasure hunting.

Unfortunately, it seemed none of the Spirit Grass here was intriguing enough to “stir” its interest, showing no reaction.

Compared to Heart Net Hall, this place indeed lacked class!

What treasures could compare to the Nine Mystic Trial Tower, a treasure of the Divinity Transformation Realm!

Not to be mistaken, if a true opponent of the Divinity Transformation Realm appeared on the tenth floor, wouldn’t it have to be at least half a level higher than the Divinity Transformation Realm?

An Immortal Artifact or a Demi Immortal Artifact?

Does immortality truly exist in the world?

The existence of eternal life, undying and indestructible?

Zhou Heng was eager, unfortunately, he didn’t have many trustworthy people; otherwise, letting someone go in and challenge each level could have resulted in huge gains!

Unable to cheat, they had to rely solely on their vision.

Zhou Heng released Lin Fuxiang, and the four of them began searching together.

“Got it!” Lin Fuxiang suddenly exclaimed, holding up an all-green Exotic Herb triumphantly, “Look, Green Luo Heart Herb, it must be at least three hundred years old.

I’m really incredible; it was hidden for so many years without being discovered, yet I found it!”

Zhou Heng and the others looked at each other and had to nod; her luck was indeed good.

Unfortunately, the Green Luo Heart Herb wasn’t very useful, which might also be a reason why it survived.

“Wait!” Just as Lin Fuxiang and the others were about to leave, Zhou Heng stopped them, “Take a closer look, there are bite marks on the leaves of this Green Luo Heart Herb.”

“That’s pretty normal, there are always bugs in the forest!” Lin Fuxiang said nonchalantly.

Gu Zi and An Yumei both brightened at the same time, but it was An Yumei who said, “Green Luo Heart Herb is known for its toughness, and it is used in medicine for this effect, to significantly slow down the decay of pills.

Basically, no insects eat Green Luo Heart Herb, unless—”

“Unless there are Bright Jade Bees here!” Zhou Heng interjected.

“The honey from Bright Jade Bees is a great tonic!” An Yumei suddenly became excited, her face glowing charmingly as if she had just been intimate with Zhou Heng.

“They should be on the large trees nearby, let’s look!” Zhou Heng and the others immediately spread out, jumping onto the treetops to search carefully.

“I found it!” Before long, Lin Fuxiang exclaimed excitedly.

“Don’t move!” Zhou Heng said hastily, knowing that although ordinary Bright Jade Bees were Demon Beasts of the Body Refinement Realm, there definitely were a few male bees defending the hive that had reached the Spirit Gathering Realm, far beyond what Lin Fuxiang could handle.

If she moved recklessly, she might be stung into a wasp’s nest; the venom of a Spirit Gathering Realm bee was not to be underestimated!

Zhou Heng flew over and saw that there was indeed a huge bee hive on a tree branch, about half the height of a person.

However, it was hidden by dense leaves and would have been impossible to find had they not climbed the branches.

While everyone’s eyes were fixed on the Spirit Grass below, they had totally missed such a treasure as the Bright Jade Bee nest.

Without hesitating, Zhou Heng enlarged the Nine Mystic Trial Tower, kicked out with one foot, and whoosh, the entire bee hive immediately flew into the tower.

A myriad of snow-white bees flew out of the hive and rushed towards Zhou Heng.

Bang!

The tower closed, and with a thought, Zhou Heng had already stored away the Nine Mystic Trial.

At that moment, An Yumei and Gu Zi also jumped over, and Zhou Heng hugged all three women and said, “Everyone into the tower!”

With a thought, since the three women did not resist his will, they were suddenly collected into the Nine Mystic Trial Tower.

Immediately, countless jade bees swirled towards the four.

“None of you take action!” Zhou Heng shouted, summoning the Black Sword and unleashing the Flying Waterfall Sword Technique.

Amidst the swirling black sword waterfalls, countless jade bees perished.

Although these jade bees were not high in realm, their numbers were vast and not to be underestimated.

He controlled the momentum, and a single sword stroke seemed to generate myriad others, its lethality incredibly fierce.

In just a minute, he had already piled up a half-circle of jade bee corpses around him, each half a foot high.

After killing five Spirit Gathering Realm Jade Bees, the remaining hundred or so Jade Bees no longer dared to approach and simply hovered around the hive.

Zhou Heng carefully split open the hive, took away 90% of the honey, then fused and solidified the hive before placing it back on the tree.

He spared the queen bee and left 10% of the honey and the remaining bees, enough to continue propagation.

The bee swarm hadn’t offended him, but for his own empowerment, Zhou Heng took action to plunder, yet he left a lifeline; this was his principle.

There was plenty of honey, divided equally into four parts, each the size of a fist.

Zhou Heng didn’t favor one over the other.

Since there were four people traveling together, everyone’s share should be the same.

“The competition ahead will be fierce.

Let’s refine this honey right away and strive for a breakthrough!” Zhou Heng said.

Their group was not very strong.

If they were to compete for treasures, the chances of winning were slim, and if they encountered Princess Shuiyue, there might even be a risk to their lives!

Enhancing their strength was urgent.

The four partitioned the benefits of refining the Bright Jade Bee honey within the Nine Mystic Trial Tower.

Zhou Heng did not immediately consume the Bright Jade Bee Honey but instead refined the power absorbed by the Black Sword.

In just over two hours, his cultivation level had risen to the medium period of the Third Layer Heaven of the Spirit Gathering Realm.

After cutting the Bright Jade Peak honey into small pieces and consuming them one by one, his cultivation soared and after a day and a night, he reached the peak of the Spirit Gathering Realm!

He was now ready to tackle the Initial Separation Realm!

This could take a long time, ten days to half a month wasn’t considered long!

Zhou Heng thought about it and after discussing with An Yumei and the other two ladies, they decided to stay within the Nine Mystic Trial Tower for safety.

Once the decision was unanimous, Zhou Heng confidently began his attempt to reach the Initial Separation Realm.

His Dantian space was now filled with spiritual power so dense that it had turned into a liquid.

The next step was to divide the Dantian, with the murky energy sinking to form earth and the clear energy rising to form heaven.

Of course, the process involved both the Land Cleaving Realm and the Open Heaven Realm.

He was far from reaching these steps; he just needed to initiate the Separation of Dantian.

However, how to divide was a major challenge; what were known as stages and barriers referred to this dilemma.

It was indescribable and could be understood but not taught.

If one could not comprehend, one might stay at this realm forever, unable to advance even slightly.

But for Zhou Heng, this was a minor issue!

His Divine Sense took shape, a Black Sword in hand, and he performed the Sky-soaring Nine Forms within the Dantian.

Chop after chop, break after break!

Thunderous booming sounds resonated continuously from within his body, as if the cosmos was being formed anew, shaking all domains!

The Initial Separation Realm was about separating the elements to form the rudiments of an internal world.

With a clear understanding in his heart, Zhou Heng performed the Sky-opening and Earth-cleaving techniques of the Nine Forms!

Boom!

The space of his Dantian quivered intensely; it cracked like an eggshell, the fissures spreading across the entire Dantian and then shattering with a colossal break, forming two parts, upper and lower!

During this process, the Dantian space also expanded rapidly, eventually enlarging tenfold!

Tenfold!

When he had first opened his Dantian, his space had expanded fourfold, but this time it had grown tenfold!

Most people at the Initial Separation Realm might expand their Dantian space by onefold, but Zhou Heng’s Dantian space was now forty times that of a typical Initial Separation Realm practitioner!

This indicated that not only his potential for growth had not diminished, but it was also increasing!

Nature’s spiritual energy surged towards him, and Zhou Heng greedily absorbed it, stabilizing his realm.

Half an hour later, he stopped not to stand up, but to consume the remaining Bright Jade Bee Honey, continuing to elevate his cultivation.

Medium Period of the First Layer of Initial Separation Realm!

Zhou Heng reopened his eyes, revealing a satisfied expression.

Now, if he were to encounter Nangong Yuerong again, with his full ability, he could surely slay the adversary!

He raised both hands; boom, his left hand ignited with Purple Flame, while his right transformed into metal.

This time, both the Metallic Transformation and the Purple Flame reached up to his forearm!

The power of his Bloodline had significantly improved!

Zhou Heng fetched the Spirit Crystal Pillar—purchased for him by An Yumei so that he could periodically test his Bloodline Power.

Double Ten-Star Human Spirit Body!

One more breakthrough, even a minor one, would advance his Bloodline Power to that of an Earth Spirit Body!

That was outrageously incredible!

As Zhou Heng marveled, his brows danced with delight; the Initial Separation Realm truly wasn’t comparable to the Spirit Gathering Realm, his strength now was at least thirty times what it had been before!

—Normally, elevating from the Spirit Gathering Realm to Initial Separation Realm, one’s strength increases about tenfold, but Zhou Heng wasn’t ordinary.

He directly ascended to the third floor, beginning the trials of the Initial Separation Realm!
