Sophie described how to cultivate a Sword Body to James in detail. James’ body was unique. First of all, his physical body was reshaped by a Grand Emperor’s Natal Demonic Lotus and possessed supreme Demonic Power. Secondly, he obtained the providence of Elemental Inversion. Thus, his physical body had become an Elemental Holy Body, and his blood vessels and bones all contained Elemental Power. Elemental Power interwoven and restrained each other inside James’ body. To forge a Sword Body was to refine oneself into a sword. The physical body was the sword, and the sword was the physical body. Simply put, all James needed to do was to absorb the power of this peerless Sword Energy and nourished his physical body. When the time came, his body would become a Sword Body. However, this was easier said than done. That was because Sword Energy would cause great damage to the physical body upon entering the body. No cultivator would even dare try using ordinary Sword Energy, let alone a pe
As Demonic Energy circulated throughout his body, his injuries began healing at a rapid pace. Soon, he had completely recovered. He absorbed the power once more. Again, his body was destroyed. While he cultivated the Sword Body, he was also refining his physical body. Due to the Novenary Golden Body Siddhi, his body would rejuvenate after every destruction and would grow even stronger each time. Time passed. James kept absorbing the Sword Energy’s power to damage his body. He was constantly enduring immense pain, so much so that he almost could not bear it anymore. “You have to persevere, James!” Sophie said, “It’s not because there is hope that we persevere. Rather, we persevere so that we can see hope.” “Humanity is on its last leg. It’s too difficult for humans to rise. Only a handful of people can break through the Elysian Seal, not to mention the huge amount of time needed to accomplish such a feat. Many would never be able to advance into the next rank.” “Soon,
In essence, a sword seed was the seed of a sword. Take oneself as the sword and the seed, and plant the seed of swordsmanship in the body. This was the key to becoming a peerless sword master. Sophie looked at James and said, “Next, it’s time to plant the sword seed, which is much simpler than refining the Sword Body.” “Mhm.” James listened intently. Looking at the Sword Energy that floated in mid-air, Sophie said, “Use this Sword Energy as a seed and plant it in your body. Then, use your blood and True Essence to slowly cultivate it. Once the Sword Energy materializes once more, it will become your Yogacara. “There are a few steps. First, you have to absorb the refined Sword Energy and transform them into a seed. As I’ve already refined it for you, you should be able to absorb it easily. Secondly, open up a special space in the elixir field similar to the elixir reservoir in your body’s acupuncture points. This space is where the sword seed will be planted.” … After Soph
In combination with the previous 300 years, 800 years had passed since James entered the Time Formation. 500 years later… James was sitting in a lotus position on the ground. Threads of Sword Energy materialized from within his body and enveloped him. Meanwhile, the seed of swordsmanship planted 500 years ago had cracked open. This was where the Sword Energy had come from. As threads of Sword Energy that contained enormous power materialized and nourished his physical body, his physical strength increased drastically without him realizing it. After 500 years had passed, his physical strength had reached the Tribulation Rank. Crack! At that moment, a clear cracking sound came from the seed of swordsmanship inside his body. Then, an extremely immense power was awakened. Majestic and overwhelming Sword Energy enveloped James’ body. Sophie, who was scrutinizing the ancient texts, glanced at James. Sensing the changes in his aura, she exclaimed, “What a powerful aura…” T
After cultivating inside the Time Formation for 800 years, James finally cultivated the sword body and planted the sword seed, which had transformed into a peerless Yogacara. Although James had only recently crossed into the Mage Rank, his physical strength had reached the Tribulation Rank. Besides that, his Yogacara was terrifying. Even in the First Stage, it possessed the ability to annihilate a Sage. Even Sophie was impressed by James’ Yogacara. James stored his Yogacara away and looked at Sophie. Wearing a smile, he thanked her, “Thank you, Sophie, for your guidance all these years. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to gain insight into the Yogacara.” Sophie smiled and said, “You have potential as well. Otherwise, you won’t be able to gain insight into the Yogacara no matter how much guidance I provide you.” “By the way…” James shifted the subject and asked, “Sophie, how’s the Magic Circle going?” “Mhm.” Sophie nodded and said, “I have more or less gained insight into
They stood before the abyss. James peered at the abyss before him, which was filled with a black aura. The black mist blocked his vision, making it difficult for him to see what was inside. Sophie said, “The region outside is still considered safe. If they’re fortunate, even ordinary living beings can reach there by traversing the Ancient Magic Circle. However, this is the true restricted area of the Demon Realm where even Grand Emperors would not dare barge in recklessly.” Hearing this, James furrowed his eyebrows. “Even Grand Emperors?” “Yes.” Sophie nodded and said, “Legend has it that there’s an Emperor-Annihilating Talisman here. It was left behind by powerful figures in the Primeval Age to prevent Grand-Emperors from coming here.” James asked puzzledly, “Why do they want to prevent Grand Emperors from coming here?” Sophie shook her head, “I don’t know either. When Emperor Jabari came here, my strength was still weak, and he didn’t tell me a lot of things. He only me
The ground was covered with skeletal remains. Ordinary skeletons would not last long before disintegrating into nothingness. However, although countless ages had passed, the skeletal remains in this place were all well-preserved. This indicated that the ones who came here were all peerless fighters. After all, who else would dare intrude besides those who were unrivaled? “Where is Xandros trapped?” James scanned his surroundings. As the abyss was huge, he could not see the end at a glance. Puzzled, he proceeded with caution. There were skeletal remains everywhere, which puzzled him. Why were there so many skeletal remains on the ground? Did a fierce battle break out here? James found it hard to believe that every living being that came here was dead. The only explanation was that a fierce battle had broken out here in the past, and many were involved in the conflict. However, they were all dead. As he stepped on some skeletal remains on the ground, they instantly shattere
On an empty plot of land… James had been highly focused on his search for Xandros all these years, so he was exhausted. So, he sat down to have a rest. “Sophie, the Demon Abyss is too big. Without any clues, I’m just searching around blindly.” James was dejected. Thirty years had passed, and he could not find anything. Sophie who was in the Celestial Abode furrowed her eyebrows. After some contemplation, she said, “Don’t worry, James, I’ll divine for you.” Then, Sophie tried to peer into the future. At that moment, the Spirit Tool walked toward her. Wearing a black robe and holding a cane, he appeared before Sophie and said grimly, “Do you have a death wish, Sophie?” Sophie smiled bitterly and said, “James has run into some trouble. Without any clues, he won’t be able to find Xandros.” Wearing a grim expression, the Spirit Tool warned, “Do you have any idea who Xandros is? He’s the lord of the Human Realm and a Grand Emperor. Besides that, he was imprisoned in the Dem
