Chapter 612 - 257: Sword Qi Rainbow Transformation, Power Enhancement

After reaching 19 points of enlightenment, the Innate Divinity Realm.

Chen Ping not only felt that this piece of Heaven and Earth had become different in his sight, things that were accustomed to seeing seemed to unveil the mysterious veil from another level in his heart.

What made him feel that this upgrade was worthwhile was that he found cultivation was no longer a tedious task, no need to concentrate one’s spirit, accumulating True Essence Magical Power bit by bit.

Even the Dragon Essence, this Heaven and Earth fortune, the power of the people’s gratitude, the gathered True Dragon Qi, can actually be actively converted.

In the past, Chen Ping only passively accepted this already formed power, knowing its existence but not its principles.

He only knew that the larger his territory, the greater the fortune, the faster his cultivation speed.

Yet he was entirely unaware of how this power was generated.

Now that his enlightenment has reached a very high level, he found that whether it is Yin and Yang or Five Elements Energy, they can be converted to each other.

Even converting into the Power of Destiny is possible, except that the conversion process consumes quite a bit of power.

For instance, now he holds a Spirit Stone; if it were Venerable Yuxiao or Situ Yun, they can absorb it to increase a hundred strands of True Essence Magical Power.

However, if converted to Purple Sky Thunder Power, it can only become fifty strands; and post-conversion to Dragon Essence, it can only become ten strands.

From this, it can be seen that some high-grade Attribute Powers are fundamentally not on the same level as ordinary True Essence.

This also explains why after refining false and cultivating true, and forming the True Dragon Dharma Body, the frontal combat power of the same level Body Refining Bloodline cultivator is somewhat stronger than the average Divine Martial Realm.

In essence, it is simply that the quality of True Essence itself is different.

Of course, cultivators practicing ordinary Five Elements True Essence don’t just engage in a battle of brute force; they often use a myriad of peculiar spells, adept at using one part of force to evoke ten parts Power of Heaven and Earth; when truly fighting, the situation becomes quite complicated.

It’s not just about overpowering others with force, but also with skills, through superior divine techniques...

For Chen Ping, he doesn’t disregard the knowledge on True Essence Dao Skill even if he walks the Body Refining Bloodline path.

In his perspective, both sides need to be grasped tightly.

Not only does the body need to be strong, but the quality of True Essence needs to be stronger, and at the same time, there can’t be any shortcomings in spells and divine techniques.

Only then can one be a true hexagonal warrior.

To avoid being taken down by exposing weaknesses.

Moreover, using Spirit Stone for cultivation or absorbing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi for the conversion to Dragon Essence to enhance cultivation at this stage is actually not a cost-effective approach.

One Qi Transforming Ten Thousand Methods, even if one understands the essence, it’s not meant to be used like this.

He now knows that the Central Plains where he is located actually has a more significant role, with numerous benefits to be tapped into.

But this place lacks Spiritual Qi, making cultivation challenging.

Rather than using these scarce dozen Spirit Stones to enhance his cultivation, an act akin to scooping water from a cart with a cup, it’s better to cultivate a few capable assistants to pacify this land swiftly.

Then govern it well, let the people enjoy peace, increase happiness, and enhance one’s fortune greatly.

This is truly the foundation of the Dao.

...

Outside the city, the troops continue to gather, the clouds of war gradually shroud Liiyang’s area, and propaganda begins to take action.

Under the covert push of Celestial Heart Pavilion, the news of King Ping’s expedition, punishing tyrants for the sake of the people, starts spreading in the Southern Region’s four hundred and twenty-three cities.

Regardless of whether these city folk are loyal, under this massive trend, no one dares to lag behind.

Loose governance doesn’t equate to encouraging rebellion; when Celestial Heart Pavilion executed and exposed countless spies, the rear stabilized.

It only took half a month.

Not only was the army gathered, defenses were in place everywhere, and an immense Power of Destiny converged upon Chen Ping, and the forty-thousand soldiers outside the city.

This time, Chen Ping did not use this Power of Destiny to practice, nor did he break through the bottleneck of the Divine Martial Fourth Layer, thus drawing upon the Power of Destiny would be wasteful.

But he did not leave things undone.

The first thing was to refine the sword.

Ever since acquiring the Jade Cloud Sword, the low-grade Spiritual Treasure Sword, he has taken a keen interest in [Sword Control Technique], this Immortal Swordsmanship.

If holding the sword for attack at the top level means man and sword unity, the best attack mode is when Body Technique and Sword Technique blend into one, Sword Qi fortifying the strongest attack method.

Then, with the Sword Control Technique here, Chen Ping discovered that so-called man and sword unity is merely foundational.

But the Unity of Heart and Sword is the normal attack method.

Heart and Sword Reach Together, Divine Will is foremost.

The specific attack mode makes Body Technique not particularly important anymore.

He even got accustomed to standing still, relying solely on mental intent... and with a thought, launching a frenzy of sword attacks.

Furthermore, he can attack from all Eight Directions, the sword Qi slicing across dozens or hundreds of feet, the complexity and dexterity of swordsmanship surpassing holding sword attacks by more than tenfold.

Gripping the long sword, some movements cannot be done, but the Spiritual Artifact long sword can traverse back and forth, rapidly executing cutting strikes effortlessly.

"No wonder, the opening statement in this Sword Control Technique speaks of inflating a big balloon, claiming one sword breaking ten thousand methods."

Chen Ping understood in his heart.
