Chapter 728: The Difficulty of Refining in the Middle Stage of Spiritualization
The void does not count years.
But if we count according to the history of the Taichang Realm, twenty years have passed since the battle between Taichang and Xuanmo.
At this moment, somewhere in the void, a storm was brewing.
The originally vast dark space was now illuminated as if it were daytime, and the sound of swords rose and fell like a landslide and tsunami, one wave higher than the other.
It was actually a terrifying storm formed by endless sword lights.
It is so boundless that there is no end in sight.
The force of space, which should have been the protagonist of the void, was like ordinary air in front of this sword storm. It was stirred and drifted with the flow, and completely became its supporting role.
It is conceivable that even if one were to be at the peak of the Spiritual Transformation stage, there would probably not be any good results.
However, even in such a terrifying environment, if you look closely, you can find that there is a figure standing at the center of the storm.
This person was seen standing there, holding a dark yellow spiritual gourd in his hand, his dark robe rustling in the wind, but he did not make any movement from beginning to end.
And the sword lights all over the sky were clearly targeting this person, and they were all shooting at him madly.
Streams of swords and waves of swords are coming one after another without stopping.
However, the scene of thousands of swords piercing the body did not appear.
After these sword lights approached this person within a certain range, they began to circle around him, appearing to protect him.
It was as if he had changed his stance and acknowledged this person as his master.
The originally fierce sword force now turned into a scene of thousands of swords coming towards it.
As time went by, endless sword lights continued to surge from the depths of the void.
The man not only did not seem to be in a hurry at all, but he was gradually showing an excitement.
I saw him slowly raise his hand and hold up the magic gourd in his hand.
And the sword lights in the sky seemed to be attracted by something, and they all stopped in mid-air for a moment, and then changed direction together, heading towards the spirit gourd.
The next moment, boundless sword light burst out and headed straight for the spirit gourd.
But the man remained indifferent, as if he ignored the sword lights in the sky.
In just a moment, the sword lights had already approached.
And its target was not this person, but the magic gourd in his hand.
However, before the sword light could touch the spirit gourd, it was instantly sucked in through the air.
Just like a dry sponge meeting water, it immediately begins to absorb it greedily.
“Although I didn’t get what I wanted, it was a pleasant surprise to have this.
It can be considered as 'losing something in one place, gaining something in another'."
His identity is obvious. He is Fang Xiao, who has been in seclusion in this small world for a long time.
If there was a Jindan cultivator of the same level here at this moment, he would be able to easily sense that Fang Xiao's cultivation had already advanced to the middle stage of Jindan.
After all, the speed of time flowing in this small world is more than three times that of the outside world.
In other words, the actual time Fang Xiao spent in seclusion was nearly seventy years.
Although it sounds like it takes a long time, you have to know that it is absolutely impossible for an ordinary cultivator to advance from the early stage of Spirit Transformation to the middle stage without a hundred years.
Moreover, Fang Xiao did not spend all his time cultivating his magic power and improving his Nascent Soul cultivation.
Refining the body, refining the spirit, nourishing the natal spiritual treasure, etc. all require a lot of effort, and of course there is a more important one.
That is to try to refine the Hunyuan sword path in the body.
Although Fang Xiao guessed that this process would not be that easy, he did not expect it to be so difficult.
At that time, the path of Hunyuan sword was divided into several parts by Taibai Sword Pill, and one of them was left on the Fashang Hunyuan Sword Master.
Of course, that was just suppressed by the sixth-level power left by Taibai Sword Pill and attached to the outside.
If you want to control it completely, you must refine it.
It was also because Fang Xiao's Dharmakāṇa upper limit was high enough that he had the qualifications for preliminary refining, so passing this initial stage was quite smooth.
I thought the road ahead would be smooth, but unfortunately Fang Xiao was happy too early.
He could never have imagined that getting started was so easy, but the refining process was so difficult.
The path of Hunyuan swordsmanship can be compared to a chain, which needs to be pulled into the hand completely before it can be successfully refined.
Fang Xiao's situation was also very obvious. He easily grabbed one end of the chain in his hand.
But its overall weight was beyond his imagination.
Fang Xiao felt like he was dragging a mountain with his mortal body; it was extremely difficult to shake.
One becomes ten, and one divide becomes ten cents.
If this incomplete path was 100%, Fang Xiao could only refine 80% at the beginning after trying his best and spending a year.
There are two reasons for this.
Firstly, what he refined was not the projection of the Dao track, but the real Dao track.
It is also the path derived from the first great way, the innate Hunyuan sword, when the world was first created.
It is certain that refining is difficult.
The reason why Fang Xiao could easily get started, besides because of his Dharma image, was also because he was the master of his own little world and had the Hunyuan Sword Body.
The fit is almost full.
If anyone else were to come, they probably wouldn't even be able to get through the door.
The second is Fang Xiao’s cultivation.
After all, when he started, he was only in the early stage of the Spiritual Transformation. Judging from the strength of his magic power, he was only in the middle stage of the Spiritual Transformation.
Refining the trajectory projection is something that only those who are about to advance to the Nascent Soul stage and are at the peak of the Spiritual Transformation stage will do.
For example, Zhenkong, a first-class spiritual treasure comparable to the peak of the Incarnation Realm, took only ten years to completely absorb all the heritage of the Diyuan Yanmo Peak.
Only then did he successfully step into the ranks of half-step Dao instruments.
If Fang Xiao could refine all of it in just a few moves with his cultivation level, that would be strange.
And in the past seventy years, nearly half of his time was spent on refining the Tao.
Of course, as the level of cultivation increases, the speed of refining has also improved slightly.
Although it was not significant enough overall, by the time Fang Xiao advanced to the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, he had managed to refine this incomplete path to 40%.
If he did not need to return to the great universe to transcend the tribulation, he would probably still be in seclusion on Earth, silently refining the Tao.
After all, in Fang Xiao's view, overcoming the tribulation is no trivial matter.
I wonder how much benefit the divine tribulation that occurred during the advancement brought to Fang Xiao and the small world.
Unfortunately, this time the heavenly calamity did not promote the growth of the small world as it did in the past.
And the Chaos Nirvana Tribulation that Fang Xiao had been thinking about so much, which could speed up the flow of time, didn't show up at all.
But while he felt regretful, he was also very grateful.
As expected, the heavenly tribulation when advancing to the Divine Transformation stage is a unique opportunity for the small world.
If I had missed it at that time, I don’t know how much time and resources it would take to make it grow to its current level.
