Chapter Seven Hundred and Thirty Five – Kun Lun’s Spirit

A perfect body slowly floated up from the medicine pool.

On the tall figure, every muscle was clearly defined and balanced. The eyes on the handsome face were lightly closed. As his eyelids slowly opened they revealed eyes that were deep like the vast stars, and would cause people to get lost in.

He sat up and the water droplets on his body were like the dew on the lily pads, rolling off.

He was flawless, a work of the heavens. All of the elders had satisfied expressions.

“How do you feel?” the snowy-haired sect leader asked. Lin Qian could hear the concern in the sect leader’s words.

He did not immediately answer. He tried to move his body and his expression was slightly puzzled.

The sect leader saw this and unhesitatingly said, “To the Sword Testing Field.”

Sword Testing Field.

When Lin Qian effortlessly cut a sword testing stone with a single blow as thought it was tofu, all of the elders inhaled sharply.

The sword testing shone was one of the hardest stones in the world. This sword testing stone was Kun Lun’s largest piece and was over a zhang tall. Even the sect leader, using all his ling power, would be unable to cut this sword testing stone into two.

Lin Qian did not notice the expressions of the elders. He was immersed in a wondrous state.

This slightly unfamiliar body contained astounding power. As he moved, shen power would naturally flow, and it moved to his thoughts. He tried to merge sword essence into it. There was no obstruction and its power skyrocketed.

Yet the flying sword in his hand could not tolerate the great shen power, melting into liquid metal that dripped down.

This caused Lin Qian to show a surprised expression. The flying sword in his hand was one of the famed swords of Kun Lun, called [Heaven’s Death]. It was seventh-grade, and he hadn’t thought it would be unable to tolerate shen power.

All of the elders frowned. Shen power was powerful, but if even seventh-grade flying swords could not withstand it, then it was slightly troublesome.

“It seems that we need to carry out our journeys to the ancient ruins earlier,” an elder said gravely.

“Yes, a seventh-grade flying sword actually melted, it is most likely that even an eighth-grade sword would be unable to express the power of shen power,” another elder said with a sigh. “It would be great if we had the [Angel Device Raiment]. I don’t know how powerful the two of them combined would be.”

“Why should we sacrifice what is near for what is far? There are so many ruins, there definitely would be one or two shen devices. It is just that we did not pay such attention to them in the past.”

The sect leader’s gaze was thoughtful. He suddenly said, “Elder Ming, you try.”

“Alright!” An elder with snowy-white hair nodded. He went in front of the bisected sword testing stone. He channeled his shen power and made a slice. The sword went halfway into the stone.

All of the elders were intelligent and immediately showed thoughtful expressions.

“As I expected!” The sect leader’s authoritative eyes flashed as he said gravely, “If one is in fanxu and starts to cultivate shen power, their power will increase, but it will be much weaker compared to those who are not in fanxu.”

Elder Ming’s expression turned stern upon hearing this. He closed his eyes and thought for a while. “The sect leader is right. After entering fanxu, one can communicate with the world and be one with them. It is hard to change paths, and the increase in power is limited.”

He looked at the flying sword in his hand and his expression was slightly dim. The flying sword in his hand was also seventh grade yet it was unharmed. It could be seen from this that his shen power was much weaker than Lin Qian’s shen power.

“Is it better to cultivate this shen power as early as possible?” an elder couldn’t resist saying.

“Lin Qian, say what you think,” the sect leader suddenly said.

Lin Qian thought for a moment before slowly speaking, “This disciple does not feel that. Our shen power is actually too different from the shen power of the ancient ear. Our shen power comes from ling power, and it is possible to see it as a new power with ling power and sword essence as the foundation. It is its own system. Ling power is the foundation. Before jindan, ling power will be unstable. After entering fanxu, it will be completed. This disciple thinks that it should be the disciples that are in jindan and yuanying that study shen power first. It is likely that those at the peak of yuanying will be affected. However, we will only know the result after trying.”

“This is reasonable.”

All of the elders nodded. Each of them was profound in cultivation and had a deeper understanding of cultivation than Lin Qian. After Lin Qian pointed this out, each of them realized it. Many elders had dim expressions. Those that were able to become elders were either fanxu, or pseudo-fanxu that were at the peak of yuanying.

The shen power they cultivated could not transform as purely as the young disciples. It meant that their potential in shen power was fated to be limited. They had never thought that the cultivation they had worked so hard for became the obstacle in stopping them from progressing.

The mood became slightly low.

“Lin Qian!” the sect leader suddenly spoke.

“This disciple is listening!” Lin Qian hurriedly went forward and acknowledged.

“You comprehended shen power. While the other shishu have helped you perfect it, you cannot slack off. You need to study it everyday.”

“Starting from today, you are the Pavilion Master of Sword Pavilion, and can form the Sword Pavilion.”
