He chose to learn this mainly because he possessed the True Yang Star Flame, which he assumed would make it more powerful than other techniques when utilized.

This Sword technique was the Secret skill of Dan Sword Peak, with a total of three moves, each immensely powerful. Even cultivators at the Golden Core Nascent Soul Realm would find it more than sufficient!

Such Secret skills were never taught to outsiders. Only if the disciples within the peak had an extremely high affinity with each other might there be a chance of passing on a move to a fellow sect member.

As for Outer Sect disciples, unless they had made significant contributions to the Sword Sect or the specific Sword Peak, they would never be taught these techniques.

Secret skills are truly high-level Sword techniques with enormous power.

Since all Six Peaks had been opened to him, Wang Mu, despite not being at the Foundation Establishment Realm, had still learned all three moves.

He reached the Third Layer instantly upon studying with Action points.

Perhaps the comprehension boost from the headband influenced the effect of the Action points!

Wang Mu could only admit he was too strong. If I study with full effort, with just twelve Action points in three months, I could have it Fulfilled.

This is a high-level Sword technique, after all!

Without wearing this headband, Wang Mu estimated that it might take him half a year to completely master it with Action points.

As for the Love Nine Sword Technique, although Yan Qingwu had only taught him one move, he practiced it casually for fun and felt like he was on the brink of Great Success... and he hadn't even used Action points for it.

Moreover, Wang Mu felt that this one move might be a bit too powerful...

With the Top-grade flying sword added on... I feel like I'm already decked out in early-stage Divine Equipment!

With these three Magic Artifacts at his disposal, Wang Mu immediately felt that even if he couldn't beat a Golden Core cultivator, he would still be able to escape.

「By the early days of February in the third year」

Wang Mu's Energy Introduction Skill had reached Sixteen Layers. Only two more layers were left, and he started to find Cultivation a bit challenging. He wanted to resort to Elixirs at first but then thought better of it.

While there's time, let's gather the ingredients for that Heavenly Foundation Establishment Pill.

He had obtained this Foundation Establishment Pill recipe from Luo Qifang. He hadn't paid much attention to it until now, close to reaching the Eighteen Layers Realm, and it was time to consider the Foundation Establishment Pill.

「By the end of the second year」

Many disciples had already started their Foundation Establishment. Mainly disciples with outstanding talents, like Zhong Feng, Luo Qifang, and the Feathered People Clan's siblings, had completed their Foundation Establishment during January and February of the third year and became Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

I can't lag too far behind, although... I definitely have to consider the Foundation Establishment Pill.

However, upon examining the recipe for the Heavenly Foundation Establishment Pill, Wang Mu was stunned.

Heavenly Dusk Morning Dew, Earth Spirit Bone, Thousand Flames Holy Sunflower, Constant Gold Stone Milk, Ten-thousand-year-old Spirit Wood... They're all Top-grade Spiritual Medicines. It even requires a Tao Grade Spirit Medicine, Immortal Transformation Burial. Just the Top-grade Spiritual Medicines alone are incredibly hard to find... For just a Foundation Establishment Pill, it requires a Tao Grade Spirit Medicine...

Wang Mu finally understood why the recipe was so easy to come by. The ingredients are virtually impossible to find!

These various Spiritual Medicines complement the Five Elements of heaven and earth and are the best among Top-grade medicines. Many Golden Core Nascent Soul Cultivators specifically use them for concocting various Spirit Pills.

Immortal Transformation Burial, said to be the remains shed by an Immortal Spiritual Medicine upon transforming, contains the mother essence of Innate quintessence...

Wang Mu's Alchemy Skill was also very high by now; he was nearly reaching level thirty with his monthly alchemy endeavors. He had learned many Elixir recipes and about Elixirs... but had only heard about this one.

Just to collect the first five types of Spiritual Medicine, I estimate that I would need at least a year of inquiring in various Workshops—if lucky, I might be able to purchase them... And this Immortal Transformation Burial poses quite a challenge.

With the Heavenly Foundation Establishment, one can obtain a second Innate Divine Power... It also increases the odds of successful Foundation Establishment by helping overcome the Heart Demon Illusion... Without refining it, it would feel less than perfect...

Wang Mu decided to give it a try regardless. He first asked Master Wu, only to find out that Dan Sword Peak had only one of the required Top-grade Spiritual Medicines, the Thousand Flames Holy Sunflower. The other four were not available.

「By the end of the second month」

Wang Mu, with the help of his senior brother, found an Earth Spirit Bone in a Workshop after making several inquiries.

「At the beginning of March in the third year」

Wang Mu went on a journey to perform sect missions and accidentally entered an ancient relic, where he found several Mid-grade Spiritual Medicines, including a vial of Constant Gold Stone Milk.

「In late March」

Wang Mu went out to hunt Demon Beasts and found a secluded spring in a gully on Gu Yun Mountain. He cultivated for half a month in that spring, whose Spiritual Energy far exceeded other places, and advanced the Energy Introduction Skill to the Seventeenth Layer Realm in one breath.

「At the beginning of April in the third year」

Chen Feng and Shen Jiao from Dan King Sect brought several Mid-grade Spiritual Medicines, among which was a piece of Ten-thousand-year-old Spirit Wood. They stopped by to check on Wang Mu's Cultivation progress and found that he had not yet reached Foundation Establishment; they intended to give him a Foundation Establishment Pill, but Wang Mu declined.

「In late April」

Wang Mu practiced the Mountain and Sea Body Refining Technique during his daily Cultivation in Yunlai Creek and unexpectedly discovered a drop of Heavenly Dusk Morning Dew. He elevated the Energy Introduction Skill to the pinnacle of the Seventeenth Layer Realm and advanced the Mountain and Sea Body Refining Technique to the Third Layer.

With this, all five Spiritual Medicines were gathered. The Energy Introduction Skill was just one step away from reaching the Eighteen Layers Realm. And the Blessing of Auspicious Cloud was also nearing its end.

In Cultivation, there are no years; these six months flew by in an instant.

This Blessing of Auspicious Cloud truly defies the heavens... It's even stronger than Travel... What a pity, just a few months' time...

「At the beginning of the fifth month」

The blessing officially disappeared, signaling that the streak of good luck had ended. Wang Mu was then making a push into the Eighteen Layers Realm of the Energy Introduction Skill.

Originally, he thought that reaching the Eighteen Layers Realm would take at least several years. However, since the Magpie Bridge Festival ended, fortune came his way, and his Cultivation progressed smoothly and effortlessly, marking the most enjoyable few months in Wang Mu's Cultivation journey... It felt even better than cheating...

With these few months, Wang Mu first successfully learned the Spirit God Dual Use Divine Power from his eldest senior brother, crafted a set of Divine Equipment suitable for the Foundation Establishment Stage, approached Great Success in the Li Fire Burning Bright Sword Technique, achieved Fulfilled proficiency in one move of the Love Nine Sword Technique, neared completion in the Energy Introduction Skill, approached perfection in the Great Yin Yang Joyful Map, and advanced to the Third Layer in the Mountain and Sea Body Refining Technique. He also gathered all five Spiritual Medicines needed for the Heavenly Foundation Establishment Pill.

Now that the blessing was about to disappear, although Wang Mu still had a lingering wish, he felt very satisfied.

So, let's advance the Energy Introduction Skill to the Eighteen Layers Realm.

「At the beginning of May」

Wang Mu took a deep breath. On Heavenly Sword Peak, he sat down among many Spirit Stones, ready to make a breakthrough into the final layer.

The Eighteen Layers Realm of the Energy Introduction Skill was said to be so advanced that one could cultivate a formidable Superior Pure Spirit Body. Elder Yan was the first to successfully cultivate it. Despite numerous predecessors of the Sword Sect refining the technique, the difficulty of cultivating it remained unchanged, and only Elder Yan managed to succeed.

Wang Mu, at the peak of the Seventeenth Layer Realm, could already feel that the ten Spiritual Acupoints inside his body were nearly saturated.

I know why no one else has succeeded.

It was because in the later stages of the Eighteen Layers Realm of the Energy Introduction Skill, the body simply couldn't bear the vast influx of Spiritual Power and had to undergo Foundation Establishment. The only reason he could cultivate it further was that he had previously practiced the Hundred Refinement Body Technique. This technique gave him ten Spiritual Acupoints that could be completely filled with immense amounts of Spiritual Power, allowing him to cultivate to the later stages.

Torrential Spiritual Energy, accompanied by Spirit Stones, converged all around Wang Mu.

Just as Wang Mu activated the spell, the Circulation of Pure Qi above the Sword Sect, as if finding an outlet, surged into Wang Mu's body like a swarm.

In an instant, Wang Mu's body lit up with ten dazzling swirls of light, shining through him, like stars twinkling incessantly in the night sky. An immense amount of Spiritual Power circulated throughout his entire body.

As the Spiritual Energy converged, Spiritual Power filled up the last Spiritual Acupoint until the Ten Great Spirit Acupoints, like ten deep-sea whirlpools, spun around.

The surrounding bamboo forest spun rapidly, changing from green to white, and then to ash, as if undergoing a cycle of rebirth, experiencing growth and decay.

At that moment, a sublime radiance burst forth from his body and shot up into the sky.
