Feng never imagi.

  It turned out that Absolute Sword Peak, among the seventy-two peaks, was ra the very bottom. The entire peak only had three people: his master, Wang Yuandao, the old servant Yang Tao, and himself.

  It was utterly desote.

  On other peaks, it was said, there were at least hundreds of disciples, if not more.

  What made things even more absurd was that Wang Yuandao admitted his lifespan was nearing its end—he only had about ten years left.

  For a moment, Fe like he had boarded a sinking ship.

  “Master, what will happen to Absolute Sword Peak if your lifespan runs out?” Feng asked suddenly.

  “If my lifespan ends and you haven’t ied the position of Peak Lord, Absolute Sword Peak will be removed from the sect,” Wang Yuandao replied with a faint smile. “So, I hope you take over as Peak Lord within the en years.”

  “Uh… Master, what are the requirements to i the position of Peak Lord?” Feng asked again, a bit dazed.

  “You must achieve Transdent Realm cultivation and pass the Peak Lord Trial,” Wang Yuandao replied, still smiling. Seeing Feng’s bewildered expression, he tinued, “The path of cultivation begins with the foundation of Body Refi. After that e the stages of Aperture Refi, Vein F, Qi Sea, Divine Wheel, Essence densation, iurning, ah. Only then will you reach the Transdent Realm.”

  Fe dizzy.

  Truly dizzy.

  He was just a rookie stu Body Refi, yet now he was being told to aim for the lofty heights of the Transdent Realm.

  Ten years!

  Could he even reach the Transdent Realm in ten years?

  Even with the Divine Creation Talisman in his possession, Feng wasn’t fident in the slightest.

  “Disciple, nothing is impossible if you put your heart into it,” Wang Yuandao said with a smile. “Do your best with all yht. Even if you fail in the end, you will have s.”

  “Well, if you have further questions, ask Yang Tao iail ter. For now, I will expih of cultivation to you,” Wang Yuandao said. “The Body Refi Stage is the foundation of martial cultivation. The more solid the foundation, the greater the bes for advang to higher realms iure.”

  “The Body Refi Stage doesn’t just have ransformations but actually sists of thirteen transformations.”

  Feng was stunned.

  Thirteen transformations?

  “After the standard ransformations, you ehe Greater Circution of Energy, whivolves refining your strength up to nine more times.”

  “At the eleventh transformation, refining your strength at least three times will result in a body as tough as steel, granting you defenses parable to beasts of the same level.”

  “At the twelfth transformation, refining your strength at least six times will produce a body akin to tempered steel, resulting in golden skin and jade-like bones, exceeding the durability of beasts of the same level.”

  “At the thirteenth transformation, refining your strength imes will grant you the power of a dragon or flood serpent, potentially unlog hidden potential within the human body and awakeniiny-defying abilities.”

  “Disciple, you’re currently at the early stages of the ninth transformation, but your refirength is already parable to the peak of the ninth transformation. Your foundation is det,” Wang Yuandao said as he assessed Feng’s cultivation. “, you o elevate your cultivation to the peak of the ninth transformation. Then, you must master the Greater Circution of Energy and refine your strength imes.”

  “Master, I think I already freely vert my strength…” Feng said cautiously.

  “Oh?” Wang Yuandao’s eyes narrowed, a trace of surprise fshing through them. “Show me.”

  Feng immediately began verting three different types of strength within his body.

  “Now try merging the three strengths into one and cirg it through your entire body,” Wang Yuandao instructed.

  Feng gave it a shot. Although it was a bit difficult at first, he soon mao circute the birength smoothly. As the energy coursed through his body, he felt a slight tingliion in his ans, muscles, bones, and skin. It wasn’t unfortable—on the trary, it was quite soothing.

  “Good.” Wang Yuandao’s smile grew wider.

  “Without guidance or exceptional talent, most cultivators in the Body Refi Stage never achieve the tenth transformation. Even with talent and guida takes signifit time to master energy version and the Greater Circution of Energy. How did you ma?” Wang Yuandao inquired.

  “Master, I thought that strength from the skin, muscles, and ans all inates from the same source—blood energy. If they share the same root, why ’t they be verted into one another?” Feng answered truthfully. “After tless attempts, I eventually figured it out.”

  “gratutions, my lord, on finding su exceptional disciple,” Yang Tao said with a ugh.

  “ Feng, first elevate your cultivation to the peak of the ninth transformation. Then, I will teach you the Chaotic Heaven Teique to refine your strength further,” Wang Yuandao instructed. He produced a jade bottle. “Inside are three Primordial Essence Pills, which should suffice to help you reach the peak of the ninth transformation.”

  “Master, I absorb pills very quickly,” Feng said as he accepted the bottle.

  “Oh? How fast?” Wang Yuandao asked, intrigued.

  Feng immediately opehe bottle, taking out a single golden pill. Its translut appearance made it look more like a work of art than medie. Without hesitation, he popped it into his mouth, chewed it, and swallowed.

  He was taking a gamble—a gamble that Wang Yuandao wouldn’t be able to detect the presence of the Divine Creation Talisman within him.

  Otherwise, staying on Absolute Sword Peak, stantly under Wang Yuandao’s watchful eye, would eventually lead to exposure. Better to test it now than live in stant fear.

  As Wang Yuandao observed him, his eyes narrowed, a sharp gleam fshing in them as if he were examining Feng’s body inside and out.

  “What astonishing speed of absorption…”

  Wang Yuandao was geaken aback, but he didn’t detect the Divine Creation Talisman.

  Feng marveled at the effects of the pill. “One Primordial Essence Pill is equivalent to five standard Essence Pills. Incredible!”

  He immediately ed the remaining two pills, refining and abs them. His blood energy surged, and his strength reached its peak.

  The ninth transformation, perfected!

  “Excellent. Your ability to refine and absorb pills so quickly, without leaving any impurities behind, is truly miraculous. Your refirength rivals that of those who achieve it through years of arduous training,” Wang Yuandao said with a hearty ugh. “With such talent, I will dedicate all my resources to cultivating you. Someday, you’ll stand above even the most gifted prodigies.”

  “Master, I swear, one day I will crush those so-called prodigies beh my sword,” Feng replied fidently.

  “Well said! A true swordsman must aspire to suppress all beh their bde,” Wang Yuandao ughed with satisfa.

  He hadn’t expected much when he initially chose Feng as his disciple—just someoh det swordsmanship to carry on his legacy. But this ued talent aermination gave him newfound hope.

  “Disciple, let’s go to the training hall. I will now teach you the Chaotic Heaven Teique,” Wang Yuandao said, his eyes bzing with hope as he led Feng to a tower-like pavilion. “The Chaotic Heaven Teique is the foundational chapter of our sect’s most revered scripture, the Chaotic Heaven Dao . Only true disciples may learn it.”

  “The Chaotic Heaven Teique refirength into something vast, pure, and overwhelming—unstoppable, unbreakable.”

  “You must first transform your strength into Chaotic Heaven Strength. Then, refi oo achieve the tenth transformation of Body Refi.”

  Wang Yuandao expined and analyzed the teique iail. With the Divine Creation Talisman enhang his prehension, Feng memorized the tent perfectly after hearing it just o felt as though the knowledge had been engraved into his mind and transformed into an innate uanding.

  He immediately began cirg his strength throughout his body, using the teiques of the Chaotic Heaven Teique to refine and transform it.

  “Just one expnation, and…” Wang Yuandao sehe ges in Feng's energy—a purer, more overwhelming ford couldn’t hide his shock. “Such extraordinary prehension…”

  “Master, I’ve already verted my strength into Chaotic Heaven Strength and pleted the first refi,” Feng said, his voice brimming with joy. His strength had increased several times over, being far more potent.

  Wang Yuandao ughed heartily. “Excellent! The other seventy-one peaks have no idea what they missed.”

  "Disciple, here are Blood densation Pills to restore your energy as you refine your strength further. Aim to plete the eleventh transformation within a year, f a body of steel and bohen, you’ll be ready to ehe Hidden Drago Realm to seize its opportunities."

  “What is the Hidden Drago Realm?” Feng asked.

  “If you reach the eleventh transformation within a year, I’ll tell you all about it,” Wang Yuandao replied with a smile.

  As Feng prepared for the stage of his cultivation, Wang Yuandao and Yang Tao couldn’t help but exge meaningful gnces.

  The future of Absolute Sword Peak suddenly seemed much brighter.
