NOVPUBThe insights on the Sword Dao that Li Qing transmitted, except for those, Black Sword nearly completely filtered out everything else automatically.
It didn’t accept the slightest bit.
However, this was also within Li Qing’s expectations.
The Wooden Sword’s Heaven’s Wonder is purely a creation of the Law of the Sword.
How could it easily accommodate other laws?
Li Qing was not discouraged and continued to try different methods.
Time passed slowly.
The Black Sword became more solid, and the aura it contained grew stronger and stronger.
One day, the Black Sword, which had always strongly rejected foreign objects, suddenly absorbed a trace of the enlightenment that Li Qing had nurtured!
Li Qing’s eyes brightened, and upon quickly investigating, he immediately locked onto the existence that seemed to be able to merge with the Black Sword!
It was "Clumsiness"!
"Conceal the edge and uphold clumsiness, contain the Sword’s sharpness. With its non-aggression, one can be victorious in all battles..."
In Li Qing’s Spirit Consciousness, torrents of inspiration burst forth in an instant.
Some images felt familiar, yet he did not know their origin.
However, Li Qing didn’t care about that, and he used the overwhelming burst of inspiration to continuously nourish the Black Sword.
The previously very aloof Black Sword, which apart from the way of the sword, had no interest in anything else, was now unusually cooperative.
It even seemed eager, actively accepting Li Qing’s irrigation.
As the Path of Clumsiness slowly integrated, the originally becoming fully-formed and thus somewhat sharp and exposed Black Sword,
now once again slowly lost its sharpness.
It became even more dark and unremarkable.
But Li Qing knew, this was a sign that the Black Sword had transcended the ordinary constraints of the Sword Dao and taken a further step in its breakthrough.
Inside the Sword Tomb, the countless abandoned swords didn’t notice the slightest change.
Only the central Wooden Sword’s Heaven’s Wonder let out an imperceptible sword cry,
as if it were expressing its own joy.
Because of this sword cry, ten thousand swords bowed down once more. Only the Black Sword beside Li Fan seemed to bow similarly,
but was actually motionless.
"It’s done!"
Li Qing knew that it wouldn’t be long before he completely subdued this Black Sword Sky Oddity.
He closed his eyes and channeled the last essence of his understanding of the Sword Dao into the Black Sword.
After the Wooden Sword’s Heaven’s Wonder’s sword cry, the Sword Tomb fell into an even deeper deathly silence.
It was so quiet it was terrifying, to the point that Li Qing even started to have auditory hallucinations.
It was as if the ten thousand abandoned swords were each whispering softly, tempting Li Qing, persuading him to give up subduing the Black Sword and to take the other swords instead.
Images of the swords’ earth-shattering, brilliant capabilities also kept appearing in Li Qing’s Spirit Consciousness,
attempting to disturb Li Qing’s resolve.
But what kind of person was Li Qing? How could he be easily tempted?
He knew this might be a little trick the Wooden Sword’s Heaven’s Wonder was playing in the dark.
Its reasons could be that it did not want to rest assured that the Black Sword was taken by him, thus laying down the last test.
It could also be that, due to reluctance to lose the Black Sword, it resisted spontaneously.
But regardless, these little tricks ultimately could not affect Li Qing.
Facing thousands of illusions, Li Qing remained unshaken.
His spirit merged with the Black Sword, with no other distractions.
And so, through to three months later.
On this day, Li Qing suddenly opened his eyes.
The next moment, he stretched out his right hand and naturally grasped the hilt of the Black Sword.
Then lightly drew it out.
There wasn’t any divine object’s emergence, no earth-shattering sounds.
To be accurate, there wasn’t the slightest unusual noise at all.
Amidst the peaceful clouds and gentle breeze, the Black Sword thus fell into Li Qing’s hand.
The ten thousand swords in the Sword Tomb seemed to have no hint of awareness of this.
Even the central Wooden Sword’s Heaven’s Wonder didn’t make any opposing gestures.
Silence was the acceptance.
The deathly silence within the Sword Tomb was a testament to Li Qing’s success.
"Fake the wonder of heaven and earth to establish the Tao Foundation."
Li Qing chanted silently in his heart, and then the essence of the Black Sword in his hand turned into a ghostly radiance in an instant, merging into his body.
It escaped to nestle within his Dantian.
Moments later, the spiritual power within Li Qing, which had reached the Golden Core Full Realm, boiled up instantaneously.
It was like a myriad of streams rushing forth, all converging towards the Black Sword.
As hundreds of rivers flow east to the sea, under the washing of the surging spiritual power, the Black Sword gradually became ethereal.
It completely dissolved into Li Qing’s Dantian, becoming his Tao Foundation.
"Peeping the Law of Heaven and Earth to refine the golden pill."
Li Qing chanted longingly in his heart again.
The surging spiritual power inside of him did not cease, still rushing towards the Black Sword Tao Foundation.
Within the maelstrom of spiritual power, the Black Sword Phantom grew fainter and fainter.
Eventually, as it dissipated into nothingness, it seemed to form an abyss that devoured all the spiritual energy.
Boom!
A bright light burst forth, shining like the glory of the heavens and earth in their genesis.
It completely illuminated the insides of Li Qing.
The light flickered, lasting for several breaths.
When the blinding light finally receded, a pitch-black golden core, exuding an aura of ancient simplicity, had appeared within Li Qing’s Dantian.
If one looked closely, they could faintly see the patterns of ten thousand sword shadows spread across the black golden core.
But it seemed like an illusion formed in the darkness, vanishing upon closer inspection.
Golden Core achieved!
From start to finish, it took only a few breaths of time.
The split body of Li Qing had transformed from a mere shell of a cultivator at the Golden Core Perfection Realm into a true Golden Core Cultivator, having established the foundation with the Black Sword Sky Oddity and formed the core.
However, Li Qing was not yet satisfied.
"Swallow the essence of heaven and earth to become the Nascent Soul."
Li Qing continued to chant in his heart.
Ordinary cultivators, wishing to reach the Nascent Soul Realm, must rely on Cave Heaven.
But those who establish their Tao Foundation with the Heaven’s Oddities require none.
Because the Heaven’s Oddities are a part of the Heavenly Dao themselves.
They can completely transform into a Cave Heaven on their own!
A thought crossed Li Qing’s mind, and the newly-formed black golden core erupted with a thunderous explosion.
The hazy spiritual energy within spread instantaneously throughout Li Qing’s body.
The countless fragments of the black golden core flew to every part of his body in an instant.
They seemed to be scattered without order, but hidden within was a profound mystery!
The distribution of the golden core’s remains vaguely resembled the original appearance of the Black Sword!
Taking these remnants as the foundation, Li Qing’s spiritual energy, flesh, and bones
All within him, began to melt like a liquid.
They were absorbed by the root of those remnants.
From the outside, Li Qing instantly looked like a torn and ruined cloth doll, distorted and misshapen.
The horrific creaking noises coming from the forcibly extracted flesh and bones
Along with the terrifying appearance of compressed flesh
Made everything appear devilishly bizarre and mystical.
Faced with the overwhelming pain, Li Qing paid it no mind.
He only accelerated the process of the golden core remnants engulfing his body.
Once the remnants of Li Qing’s flesh in the air were completely devoured,
There seemed to be a network of connective tissue formed between the scattered golden core remnants, resembling the meridians of the human body.
The sinister and enchanting dark red tendrils interlinked. n𝚘𝚟𝚙u𝚋.co𝚖
Suddenly, a light surged from within the golden core remnants.
Then it flowed throughout the body in an instant.
In the flashing light, a miniature "Sword Transformation Cave Heaven" slowly took shape.
