Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming-Chapter 2200 - 776: Nascent Soul Middle Stage, Secret Treasure of the Sword Cavern

Chapter 2200: Chapter 776: Nascent Soul Middle Stage, Secret Treasure of the Sword Cavern

When the sword intent severed his Divine Soul, the Sword Spirit that struck him also awakened from its slumber, introducing itself in rage, thus revealing the name of the sword to him.

And since the Sword Spirit still existed and could unleash sword intent to wound him, it indicated that this sword was evidently still a perfectly intact Heaven-Connecting Spirit Treasure, not some degraded artifact!

However, it’s puzzling why such a treasure would be left in the Myriad Fathom Sword Cavern by Tai Geng Divine Venerable, rather than being refined and used by himself.

Even if Tai Geng Divine Venerable’s main body already possesses a flying sword of Heaven-Connecting Spiritual Treasure level, his incarnation could still use it!

If his incarnation had this [Roc Soaring Sword], in the previous great battle with the Demon Clan, both the so-called "Saint Junior Jin Xuan" and that Ice-Fire Demon Ape could have been easily slaughtered, avoiding the later predicament!

Zhou Chun couldn’t figure this out but knew there must be some deeper meaning he’s unaware of.

He chuckled self-deprecatingly and remarked, "When Venerables of the Divinity Transformation Stage act, they have their considerations. I shouldn’t trouble myself with these musings!"

Then he calmed his mind to heal his injuries.

In the following time, Zhou Chun discovered additional benefits brought by the Spirit Sense Incarnation Realm.

For example, the [Great Yarn Fate Concealing Art] Secret Technique, which he previously could never successfully cultivate, was now effortlessly initiated upon retrial!

Once this Secret Technique is mastered, those techniques that trace and lock onto one’s Divine Soul through Secret Technique Divine Skills would hardly be effective again.

He could even use this Secret Technique to infer and locate people and objects!

Also, due to the sharp increase in his Divine Sense, his "Metal Escape Technique" Divine Skill advanced rapidly and became more proficient.

Other Divine Skills like [Formless Geng Metal Divine Light], [Geng Metal Splitting Sky Thunder], [Falling Treasure Golden Light], and [Heaven Gold Body Art] saw enhanced power due to his significant increase in Cultivation Level and Divine Sense, accelerating their cultivation progress.

Upon these discoveries, Zhou Chun was in no rush to leave this Secret Mansion immediately.

"By this time, Ying’er should have already gone into seclusion to form her Nascent Soul, and the ancestor can still support life for several decades. Even if I remain here in retreat for another ten or so years, it would be alright."

"This opportunity is rare. Missing this chance, Tai Geng Divine Venerable might not agree to let me cultivate here in Myriad Fathom Sword Cavern again!"

Zhou Chun’s eyes flickered, and after some careful consideration, he dispelled distractions and continued his cultivation here.

In subsequent times, Zhou Chun mainly focused on refining the Geng Metal Power to boost his Cultivation Level, while the training of Secret Technique Divine Skills took a somewhat lesser priority, as cultivation level is fundamental for a Cultivator.

Thus, training in the Myriad Fathom Sword Cavern for one year equated to three or four years of cultivation in his own cave at Kunwu Mountain, and the mana he cultivated was incomparably solid and pure.

However, under his continuous refining and consumption, the total amount of Geng Metal Power in the Myriad Fathom Sword Cavern began to decrease, evidently indicating that the Geng Metal Power here was not inexhaustible.

Previously, Tai Geng Divine Venerable’s incarnation said this place had not been opened for over two hundred years, which allowed such a rich accumulation of Geng Metal Power.

If it weren’t for granting Zhou Chun an opportunity, such Geng Metal Power should have been absorbed and refined by Tai Geng Divine Venerable’s main body.

Even for a Deity Transformation Stage Cultivator like him, directly absorbing and refining such rich Geng Metal Power could slightly enhance his cultivation level.

However, Zhou Chun’s good days were not to last long.

In the third year after he broke through to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, Tai Geng Divine Venerable’s main body suddenly arrived at the Secret Mansion.

"You young one, if I hadn’t come, would you have drained all the Geng Metal Power in the Myriad Fathom Sword Cavern before stopping?"

In the Myriad Fathom Sword Cavern, the suddenly arriving Tai Geng Divine Venerable’s main body saw Zhou Chun meditating in the deepest part of the cavern, his gaze focused, then looked at him with a half-smile, half-interrogating expression.

Hearing the soul-wrenching inquiry, Zhou Chun was embarrassed and didn’t know how to respond, so he awkwardly lowered his head and replied, "Forgive me, Senior Tai Geng, since starting on the path of cultivation, I have never experienced such a rapid advancement in cultivation, I temporarily lost myself in it!"

This reply left Tai Geng Divine Venerable smiling silently, waving a hand dismissively, "Forget it, no need to struggle with explanations, since I allowed you to train here, I don’t intend to hold you responsible."

He then solemnly warned, "However, the Geng Metal Power in the Myriad Fathom Sword Cavern indeed can’t be fully absorbed and refined by you, otherwise many Dharma Treasures inside will lose the nurturing of the Geng Metal Power and significantly deteriorate!"

"Yes, I understand now, the grace of your creation, Senior Tai Geng, I am immensely grateful!"

Zhou Chun breathed a sigh of relief, quickly nodding in agreement, sincerely bowing to express his gratitude to Tai Geng Divine Venerable.

"Oh, has this [Roc Soaring Sword] awakened, did you awaken it?"

At this moment, Tai Geng Divine Venerable appeared shocked, looking at Zhou Chun with surprise, asking.

Hearing this, Zhou Chun did not dare to hide, settling truthfully, "Senior Tai Geng, I’m sorry, my cultivation was breaking through before, and my Divine Sense increased dramatically. Out of curiosity, I attempted to inquire about the sword’s information, unexpectedly angering the slumbering Sword Spirit within, and was slashed by its released sword intent!"

Upon hearing this, Tai Geng Divine Venerable chuckled, "That slash must not have been pleasant!"

"Senior Tai Geng, your insight is spot-on. If not for my rather strong Divine Sense and the presence of Spiritual Objects to mitigate remaining sword intent, I might still be recuperating in the outer meditation chamber!"

Zhou Chun answered in a low voice with a wry smile, feeling a lingering sense of fear.

"Hmm, the Spirit Sense Incarnation Realm indeed surpasses the majority of Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivators, with such powerful Divine Sense, the chances of breaking through the Nascent Soul Late Stage Barrier in the future increase by ten percent more!"

Tai Geng Divine Venerable nodded slightly, seeming not very surprised by Zhou Chun reaching the Spirit Sense Incarnation Realm.

Then he shook his head gently, "You truly are fearless like a newborn calf not fearing a tiger, this [Roc Soaring Sword] is not to be trifled with. Had it not known you were permitted by me to train here, it might have been more than a mere sword intent slice!"

"Senior Tai Geng, why didn’t you refine this sword?"

Zhou Chun hesitated for a moment, then couldn’t help but ask.

Hearing this, Tai Geng Divine Venerable’s gaze flickered, slightly shaking his head, "There’s no need, for me, an additional flying sword doesn’t significantly boost my power, besides, the [Sky Crystal Spirit-Slaying Sword] in my hand fits me better!"

"Moreover, without this sword suppressing here, the Myriad Fathom Sword Cavern wouldn’t possess its current unique utility, so unless absolutely necessary, it’s best not to move it!" 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Really?

Zhou Chun was somewhat skeptical, feeling that Tai Geng Divine Venerable’s reasons were somewhat strained, possibly not the true cause behind his choice.

However, Tai Geng Divine Venerable providing him an explanation was a great favor. Naturally, he wouldn’t press onward, forcing the truth out.

Immediately, he replied, "I understand, thank you, Senior Tai Geng, for enlightening me."

"Alright, come with me away from here; I have the Spiritual Treasure you entrusted me to craft with me now."

Tai Geng Divine Venerable waved a hand and immediately led the way out of the cavern.
