Xiao Lingchen nodded.

  Then, Jiang Luoxian set up a formation, isolating the entire Back Mountain from the outside world.

  Allowing Xiao Lingchen to refine in peace.

  Xiao Lingchen wasted no time.

  He immediately followed Jiang Luoxian's instructions and began to refine the sword bone.

  Refining the sword bone was no simple task.

  The first step was to shatter the bone in the same position within his body, then implant the sword bone, nurturing it with essence blood, and gradually refining it, making it a part of his body!

  This first step was extremely difficult!

  After all, the bone to be shattered wasn't a hand bone or a leg bone, but the chest bone!

  Once this bone was shattered, the pain endured would be thousands of times greater than any other bone!

  Moreover, if he failed, his body would be paralyzed.

  He might not even be able to take care of himself for the rest of his life!

  Of course, that was for others. Xiao Lingchen, with his immortal and indestructible body, naturally had no fear of paralysis.

  But the pain of shattering bones still had to be endured.

  "Master, let's begin."

  Naturally, having someone else help with this first step was best.

  Without hesitation, Xiao Lingchen entrusted this task to Jiang Luoxian.

  Jiang Luoxian nodded lightly.

  Then, with a swift palm strike, she struck Xiao Lingchen's chest.

  "Poof!"

  What seemed like a gentle palm actually contained terrifying power.

  With just this one strike, Xiao Lingchen's chest bone was shattered, and the immense pain caused him to spit out a mouthful of blood, nearly fainting.

  "You must suppress your body's self-healing, or you'll have to endure the pain all over again."

  Xiao Lingchen quickly nodded.

  Now, he had cultivated an immortal and indestructible body.

  This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

  If he didn't actively suppress it, the shattered chest bone would quickly heal, making the strike pointless!

  Under Xiao Lingchen's self-intervention, the chest bone ceased its self-repair.

  Then, Jiang Luoxian cast a spell, sending the sword bone into Xiao Lingchen's body.

  Replacing the shattered chest bone, it became Xiao Lingchen's new bone!

  However, this sword bone was extremely domineering.

  As soon as it entered Xiao Lingchen's body, it fiercely resisted.

  Suddenly, sword qi erupted.

  It tore Xiao Lingchen into countless pieces!

  Fortunately, in the next second, Xiao Lingchen was restored to his original state.

  But the immense pain left him feeling weak and drained.

  Jiang Luoxian said:

  "The sword bone is too domineering; it's not easy to refine."

  "You must concentrate fully, suppress and refine it without any distractions."

  Xiao Lingchen nodded.

  He was immensely grateful for his immortal and indestructible body.

  If it were anyone else, they would have been killed by the sword bone.

  But he had countless opportunities!

  So, after Xiao Lingchen prepared himself once more.

  Jiang Luoxian shattered his healed chest bone again and implanted the sword bone.

  But this time, they still failed!

  Xiao Lingchen's aura weakened further.

  Jiang Luoxian couldn't help but feel a bit heartbroken:

  "Do you want to continue?"

  Xiao Lingchen took out a bottle of restorative elixir, swallowed it, and nodded:

  "Continue."

  Although the process was painful, he knew that once the sword bone was refined, his strength would soar.

  With countless benefits, he was unwilling to give up easily.

  Jiang Luoxian said no more.

  She continued to shatter Xiao Lingchen's chest bone and implant the sword bone.

  And the third time, they failed again.

  Then came the fourth time, the tenth time, the hundredth time, the thousandth time...

  Any slight mistake, and the sword qi would erupt, tearing Xiao Lingchen to pieces!

  The sun rose and set.

  In the blink of an eye, twenty days passed.

  After more than forty thousand failures and consuming countless restorative spiritual herbs, Xiao Lingchen finally succeeded in perfectly implanting the sword bone into his body.

  And he refined it!

  At this moment.

  Xiao Lingchen's aura surged, like a mighty torrent, sweeping across the entire Supreme Mystical Sect, dispersing the clouds above.

  His gaze became sharp and determined, his whole being like a treasured sword, radiating brilliance!

  In the Supreme Mystical Sect, countless swords resonated with a crisp hum, echoing throughout the land, as if responding to the fierce sword intent emanating from Xiao Lingchen.

  At this moment.

  Xiao Lingchen seemed to have undergone many changes.

  Not just in his aura, but also in his understanding, thoughts, and perspective on the way of the sword.

  At this moment, he felt that his previous swordplay was as childish as a child's.

  If he faced his past self, he believed that with one sword strike, he could defeat his former self!

  He took out the Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect divine power manual he had obtained from Yun Zhanyi.

  With just a cursory glance, he didn't even need to use the Qian Kun Mirror's ability to fully comprehend the Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect.

  From entry level, to minor success, to major success.

  Finally, perfection.

  The entire process took him only a few breaths to comprehend!

  With a thought.

  Around him, above his head, and in the sky, tens of thousands of sword shadows instantly formed!

  Covering the vast sky!

  [Image needed here!! I really can't find a picture that matches the scene in my mind! The imagined scene is incredibly cool!]

  The disciples of the Supreme Mystical Sect all noticed this phenomenon.

  Instinctively, they looked up.

  When they saw the tens of thousands of sword shadows floating in the sky, and felt the overwhelming sword intent enveloping them, they were all left speechless in shock and awe!

  The more timid disciples were so frightened they wet themselves.

  The female disciples of Small Bamboo Peak also noticed this scene.

  They were very familiar with the sword shadows in the sky; wasn't that their Senior Sister Yun Zhanyi's Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect?

  "That's Senior Sister's Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect!"

  "So powerful, so powerful!"

  "I remember Senior Sister could only condense a few hundred sword shadows before, but this time she actually condensed tens of thousands of sword shadows. It seems she's cultivated Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect to major success, even perfection!"

  "Amazing! As expected of our Senior Sister! I admire her so much!"

  "......"

  Meanwhile.

  Hearing the commotion outside, Yun Zhanyi walked out of her cave abode.

  Seeing the scene in the sky, she was both shocked and helpless.

  She had indeed been cultivating Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect in her cave abode and had made significant breakthroughs.

  She had cultivated the entry-level Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect to major success.

  However, with her current talent and understanding of Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect, she could only condense a thousand or so sword shadows.

  Which meant everyone misunderstood; the tens of thousands of sword shadows in the sky weren't her doing at all.

  At this moment.

  Yun Zhanyi's gaze naturally turned towards the direction of the sect's main peak's Back Mountain.

  In the entire Supreme Mystical Sect, besides her, there was only one other person who had cultivated Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect.

  That person was naturally Xiao Lingchen!

  Yun Zhanyi couldn't help but shake her head and smile wryly:

  "Who would have thought, in just over twenty days, this guy would cultivate Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect to such an extent."

  "This guy's talent is truly terrifying!"

  Pawread.
