Superior Pure Sword Profound, Divine Platform Spirit Communication.
This was the Sword Sect's strongest Foundation Establishment Physique, renowned as one of the twenty-four Acquired Spirit Bodies cultivable in the Cultivation World—the Superior Pure Spirit Body!
It was a Foundation Establishment Body that offered glimpses into the Immortal Ascension Realm!
The Dome Cauldron Sword Scripture described its possessor as having reached the Sword Xuan Tongming Realm.
Such a body, with Clean energy abounding eternally, naturally repels gloom, solitude, dust, and impurities, preventing their formation. All Techniques and spells become easily comprehensible. It is anciently formidable, as if a gift from the heavens.
In Wang Mu's understanding, this physique was actually quite simple.
It meant that any sword technique he executed would have its power amplified by one hundred percent. When performed by someone in the same Realm, his would be significantly stronger.
"Clean energy abounding eternally" signified that his Spiritual Power regenerated extremely quickly and was virtually inexhaustible, granting him exceptional endurance in combat. Unless depleted entirely in a single instant, it would rapidly replenish.
"Repels gloom, solitude, dust, and impurities, preventing their formation" meant that ghostly and malevolent entities would naturally avoid him. "Impurities" signified that powers derived from turbid qi were unlikely to develop within his body, and Heart Demons were unlikely to arise, thus paving a longer path of Cultivation.
Furthermore, learning any of the myriad techniques and spells would be faster and their comprehension easier.
This was one of the twenty publicly recognized Acquired Spirit Bodies that could be cultivated in the Nine Provinces Cultivation World, each one exceedingly difficult to achieve.
And yet, it was still considered a Foundation Establishment Body.
At this moment, Wang Mu's body was bathed in a cyan brilliance. His features underwent subtle changes; every line of his brow and face now emanated a clear, transcendent grace. His already handsome countenance gained an added layer of unique radiance.
His entire aura felt as pure and limpid as an Innate Spirit Spring, possessing an inexplicable magnetism.
Upon his forehead, a tiny, grain-sized mark had appeared. Resembling a sword scar, it pulsed with a piercing Sword Qi.
This was the unique Tao Trace of his physique, the wellspring of his Clean energy, and it held a touch of profound mystery.
"I've finally cultivated it."
Under the Blessing of Auspicious Cloud, after half a year, Wang Mu had smoothly cultivated to the Eighteenth Layer Realm of the Upper Heaven Energy Introduction Technique, successfully forming the Superior Pure Spirit Body.
For an ordinary cultivator, half a year of Cultivation was but the blink of an eye.
The process of Cultivation was, for the most part, dull and monotonous.
However, Wang Mu received action points monthly, and coupled with the Blessing of Auspicious Clouds, he could perceive his growth and changes each month. Far from feeling any monotony, he found himself reluctant to stop.
But now, the Blessing of Auspicious Clouds had vanished. His physique was complete, and the ten Spiritual Acupoints within him brimmed with a vast, river-like torrent of Spiritual Power, merely awaiting its condensation into a true, surging ocean of Spirit liquid!
PHEW...
Wang Mu opened his eyes. Within their pitch-black depths, a clear brilliance swirled, captivating to behold.
It felt awesome.
Over the past six months, whether he was cultivating or exploring nearby, he had experienced sheer elation wherever he went.
To put it simply, it was as if the heavens themselves were spoon-feeding him, granting his every desire.
After half a year of such blessings, the heavens had departed, and Wang Mu was content.
Although the Three-Life Illusion Realm had nearly been his end, the subsequent Blessing of Auspicious Cloud had been potent enough to see him through.
It was practically an openly declared cheat in the Cultivation World.
No wonder even Golden Core Nascent Soul experts were willing to attend the Magpie Bridge Festival in search of a Taoist couple.
"Next, I'm just missing an Immortal Transformation Burial to refine the Heavenly Foundation Establishment Pill..."
"Now, without the Blessing of Auspicious Cloud, I can only see if Travel will present any opportunities... It might not be found immediately."
But Wang Mu wasn't in a hurry. His half-year of intense practice had filled his Ten Great Spirit Acupoints with boundless Spiritual Power. Now that his Spirit Body was initially formed, he could take his time to adapt and master it, searching and stabilizing his condition concurrently.
He had cultivated the Great Yin Yang Joyful Map, which established a self-circulating balance of Yin Yang within him. This would allow him to stabilize and adapt to his vast Spiritual Power with great speed. His rapid progress wouldn't lead to an unstable foundation.
He could also use the time to practice his various sword techniques, aiming to max them out if possible, as well as the Mountain and Sea Body Refining Technique. This body technique was truly difficult and demanded unwavering persistence.
"I feel very strong right now, not at all on the same level as half a year ago..."
Wang Mu rose, a faint breeze seeming to stir around him. He felt incredibly light, as if partially merged with the heavens and earth.
He closed his eyes. His body, as light as a willow catkin, drifted upwards with barely any consumption of Spiritual Power.
Light as if rising with the wind, effortlessly soaring to the Nine Heavens—Wang Mu found he couldn't fully enumerate the myriad wonderful uses of this Upper Cloud Spirit Body in a single moment.
So far, only two individuals in the Sect had successfully cultivated it, Elder Yan being the previous one.
One could discuss the utility of this Spirit Body at length. Even the cultivation manuals couldn't fully predict all its effects on techniques; Elder Yan's insights were the most accurate, but unfortunately, she was in secluded cultivation to heal her injuries.
"I can't feel any consumption of Spiritual Power at all..."
"I wonder if it's simply because there's too much of it..."
"This shouldn't feel hollow anymore, should it?"
What did the Eighteenth Layer of the Upper Heaven Energy Introduction Technique truly signify?
The Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer was merely the Nine Layers Realm. However, the sheer volume of Spiritual Power brought by the Eighteen Layers Realm, even if its quality couldn't match the Spirit liquid of the Foundation Establishment Stage, was terrifyingly overwhelming in quantity alone.
Wang Mu walked to the Mechanical Man in the backyard and flicked a Spirit Stone at it.
The Mechanical Man activated.
Wang Mu casually drew a wooden sword towards himself. Holding it loosely, he channeled his Spiritual Power and lightly swung out a few sword lights.
SWISH, SWISH, SWISH!
In an instant, the Mechanical Man was enveloped by a boundless sword light woven from the wooden sword.
The newly activated Mechanical Man froze, as if stilled, then abruptly halted.
The next second, as the wooden sword shattered, the Mechanical Man disintegrated into countless fragments.
Wang Mu was rendered speechless.
"That's too overpowered," Wang Mu clicked his tongue.
Just a casual swing of a wooden sword, producing a few Sword Qi slashes. That was just one move.
The Mechanical Man, reputedly impossible to shatter in the Qi Refining Realm, was just gone like that?
At the Sixth Layer, my full force could only leave a dent...
At the Ninth Layer, using a sword technique would only result in cracks...
