After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, Chen Daoxuan opened his eyes, and a bright light flashed from the depths of his eyes.

Then, a wave of ecstasy flooded him.

After careful calculation, it had only been four months since he had started cultivating the wind chasing sword technique.

Even among the sword dao geniuses of the Qianyuan Sword sect, the number of cultivators who could reach the small success stage of the wind chasing sword technique, after cultivating it for only four months, could be counted on one’s fingers.

In addition, Chen Daoxuan had long surpassed the large success stage of the wind chasing sword technique.

After all, Chen Daoxuan possessed the freakish cheat-like ability of the Hong Meng Enlightenment Dao Sutra, which allowed him to accumulate his comprehension ability, and experience an epiphany once every ten days.

Even though the duration of each epiphany was not long; it only lasted for the time it took for an incense stick to burn but, in four months, he had experienced a total of twelve epiphanies.

What kind of crazy concept was this?

One had to know that he had only used two epiphanies in order to cultivate the wind chasing sword technique to the large success stage.

It was only ten full epiphanies later that he finally cultivated the wind chasing sword technique to the perfect stage today.

Based on the number of epiphanies, it seemed that cultivating the wind chasing sword technique from the large success stage to the perfect stage was about five times more difficult than cultivating it from the beginner stage to the large success stage.

However, in reality, it was ten times harder, or perhaps even a hundred times harder!

This was because, even if an ordinary Qi refinement realm cultivator spent an entire lifetime, it was impossible to cultivate it from the great success stage to the perfect stage.

After all, there were some things that you could not understand. No matter how unconvinced you were, no matter how much time you spent, you would not be able to understand it at all.

Otherwise, there would not be so many world-class math problems that could not be solved in his previous life.

…

The next day…

After Chen Daoxuan broke through to the fourth level of the Qi refinement realm, his true Qi was still in a weak state. However, after a night of cultivation, it had become solid again.

Walking out of the cave abode, Chen Daoxuan saw a small figure standing on the cliff, practicing the sword against the backdrop of the rising sun.

Perhaps it was because the small figure had just started practicing martial arts, but he still looked a little awkward when he waved the sword around. He appeared even more unsteady given that he was wielding an iron sword that weighed ten jin.

Chen Daoxuan watched quietly and did not make a sound to disturb him.

Chen Daoxuan had long understood Chen Daochu’s stubborn character after spending a month with him.

Of course, this kind of character had both its pros and cons. On the upside, people with this kind of character would often possess astonishing perseverance and would advance bravely despite countless difficulties.

The downside of such a character was that it was also very likely that they would fall into a slump during their future cultivation and would not be able to extricate themselves from it.

Soon, the time it took for half an incense stick to burn had passed.

Chen Daochu was already so tired that his face was covered in sweat. His entire body felt heavy, as if he had been fished out of water.

“Hu! Hu! Hu!”

He could be seen sitting on the edge of the cliff, panting heavily.

Chen Daoxuan walked over at this time and pointed out to him, “Sit cross-legged and calmly sense your dantian…”

“Young clan leader…”

Chen Daochu turned around and saw Chen Daoxuan. He struggled to get up and bow, but was stopped by Chen Daoxuan. “Hurry up and do it!”

“Yes, young clan leader!”

Hearing that, Chen Daochu regulated his breathing and sat down cross-legged. He started to regulate his breathing.

Seeing that Chen Daochu was able to enter a meditative state skillfully, Chen Daoxuan nodded with satisfaction. Then, he used the wind control spell and flew toward the direction of the spiritual artifact factory; another busy day was about to begin.

…

In the Southwest Sea region of the Myriad Sea of Stars, about ten thousand miles away from Shuanghu Island, there was an undersea world.

The undersea world of the Myriad Sea of Stars was different from what Chen Daoxuan had imagined. It was also completely different from the undersea world on Earth.

Under normal circumstances, because there was no light at the bottom of the deep sea, one would only sense darkness. The undersea world back on Earth was akin to a pitch-black space.

However, the bottom of the Myriad Sea of Stars was different.

The undersea world of the Myriad Sea of Stars was a world filled with dazzling starlight.

Here, if one raised their head and looked up, they would find billions of ‘stars’ floating in the dark ‘sky’ layer of the undersea that was tens of thousands of meters high.

These billions of ‘stars’ illuminated the entire undersea world of the Myriad Sea of Stars, allowing countless species to live and reproduce in the undersea world of the Myriad Sea of Stars.

This was also the origin of the name ‘Myriad Sea of Stars’.

“Father!”

At the bottom of the sea in the Southwest Sea region of the Myriad Sea of Stars, a mermaid whose left arm was injured and right shoulder had a gash, swam in front of a merman whose chest had a huge gash, and said in a mournful voice, “At this rate, even if we take down the Water Devil Ape’s territory, our clansmen will suffer heavy casualties!”

The mermaid who spoke was none other than Luo Li, the mermaid princess whom Chen Daoxuan had met on his way back from Guang’an Prefecture.

However, judging from her miserable appearance, it was obvious that she had not been having a good time recently.

“Cough, cough!”

Hearing this, the merfolk tribe leader coughed violently. “The injuries that Zhou Mubai inflicted on me are more serious than I thought.”

As he spoke, he lowered his head to look at the wound on his chest where the sword Qi was wreaking havoc. He felt a headache coming on and said, “I have to use my power to suppress this sword Qi at all times. Otherwise, my injuries will only end up getting worse.”

As he said this, the merfolk clan leader looked gloomy. “However, if I don’t participate in the battle, you won’t be able to deal with the leader of the water demon apes…”

Hearing this, Luo Li fell silent.

She knew that what her father said was the truth.

Without her father, who was a high-level late-stage third-level merman, the merfolk, whose highest cultivation level was only equivalent to the foundation establishment realm of the human race, would not be able to deal with the water demon apes.

This was because the leader of the water demon apes on Devil Ape Mountain was an existence at the mid-stage third-level.

The other party had never attacked the low-level merfolk, and was completely afraid of her father, the late-stage third-level merfolk tribe leader.

However, the other party did not know that her father had sustained such serious injuries.

Otherwise, it would not be the merfolk suppressing the water devil apes, but rather the opposite.

“Damn it!”

Seeing her heavily injured father, Luo Li felt for the first time that she was so useless, and unable to support the merfolk tribe.

“Father, why don’t we stop attacking Devil Ape Mountain and choose another territory?”

As if he could see the frustration in Luo Li’s eyes, the merfolk tribe leader finally made a decision in his heart. He stroked Luo Li’s beautiful hair, and smiled. “Silly child, we have been searching for so long at the bottom of the sea. Which territory is more suitable for the merfolk to live and reproduce other than Devil Ape Mountain?”

Hearing this, Luo Li fell silent.

She knew that her father was right. The competition between the creatures in the undersea world was more brutal and straightforward than the competition in the human world.

“In three days, I will fight the leader of the water devil apes and kill this monster!” The merfolk tribe leader said firmly.

“But, father, your injuries…”

“It’s okay. A mere leader of the water devil apes at the mid-stage of the third level is nothing to me!”

The merfolk tribe leader was extremely heroic, but when he looked at Luo Li, a hint of reluctance flashed in his eyes. In the end, this reluctance was discarded and he put on a resolute expression.

“Three days later, we will launch a full-scale attack on the Water Devil Ape tribe of Devil Ape Mountain!”

“En!”

Hearing this, Luo Li nodded excitedly, but then she seemed to have thought of something, “Oh right, father, didn’t we agree to cooperate with the Chen clan of Shuanghu Island? Why don’t we purchase a batch of weapons from them to increase the strength of our clansmen?”

“With those weapons, our clansmen will definitely become much stronger!”

Luo Li said excitedly as she seemed to recall the Flying Snow sword that Chen Daoxuan had.

Originally, they had only launched probing attacks because of the leader of the water demon ape tribe. However, now that they were launching a full-scale attack, they definitely had to put all their chips on the table.

Weapons that could increase the strength of their clansmen were obviously a very important chip.

Hearing this, the merfolk tribe leader thought for a moment, and then nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll leave this matter to you!”

Obviously, he also felt that the spiritual weapons would result in an extraordinary increase in the strength of his tribe members. They would definitely be of great help in the upcoming battle.
