Eternal Life: My Lifespan Increases Daily

Chapter 250: Chapter 248: Water-Phase Flood Dragon Body

”My lord, I have arduously cultivated the Sword Dao for forty years, and I wish to give it a try.” A foreigner on the mountaintop came forward to Ding Shengyu and cupped his hands.

Ding Shengyu merely gave him a slight glance.

The next moment, the foreign martial artist suddenly felt his inner Qi go out of control, surging within his body.

Immediately, the Sword Intent around him seemed to be released as if triggered.

This process lasted for less than two breaths before it stopped.

”What happened to me...” The foreign martial artist was astonished by his recent state, unaware of what means the person in front of him used to make him feel out of control.

”Your Sword Dao aptitude is mediocre, Qi Refining cultivation is inadequate, you cannot enter our Spirit Sword Mountain.” In just a brief moment, Ding Shengyu seemed to have seen through everything about the foreign martial artist in front of him, speaking bluntly.

The foreign martial artist was a bit disappointed upon hearing this, but he still unwillingly asked, ”Do I have a Sword Tao Physique?”

He knew that his Qi Refining cultivation did not meet the entry requirements of Spirit Sword Mountain, so he hoped that his unique Sword Tao Physique would be recognized, allowing the sect to make an exception to accept him.

However, the rarity of such Innate Physiques is one in ten thousand among martial artists and not easily discovered.

”You do not.” Ding Shengyu shattered his hopes completely, and he retreated in disappointment.

After that, other foreign powers on the mountaintop also began to make choices, leaving Song Changming and the others unbothered, and proceeding to make their attempts.

Compared to besieging Song Changming and his group, whether they could be accepted by the sects and cults of the Ancient Abyss Country was their most pressing concern.

”Thunder attribute aptitude is below average, scram, go stand aside.”

”Water attribute aptitude is mediocre, I’m sorry, you cannot enter our Zhuyu Sect.”

”...”

One must admit, these visitors were extremely stringent, rigorously evaluating everyone based on the previously stated requirements.

No matter what, if the standard wasn’t met, talking about the sky falling was futile.

These martial artists on the mountaintop, having honed their prowess to such levels, were surely exceptional in Martial Tao talent from Song Changming’s perspective.

At least, in Da Han, they were among the top on the Celestial List.

However, among these ten visitors, they were picky, and most did not meet the requirements, with only a few having sufficient talent and were successfully recruited.

Around this time, Nan Wuji also decided to step forward, coming to Ding Shengyu of Spirit Sword Sect.

Earlier, although various sects and gangs recruited a few, Spirit Sword Mountain still had nothing to show for, almost as if it had come in vain.

”Oh!” Ding Shengyu perked up as soon as he cast a glance at Nan Wuji.

Without needing Nan Wuji to speak, he already showed a glint in his eyes, releasing a special Powerful Qi into Nan Wuji’s body.

In the next moment, the fluctuations of Nan Wuji’s Eighth Layer Qi Refining inner Qi reverberated, drawing everyone’s attention.

”Is there really someone with such cultivation?” Gao Xin remarked in surprise not far away.

”How did someone emerge from this barren land with such scarce spiritual Qi?”

”It’s precisely the restrictive cultivation conditions here that highlight this person’s high cultivation talent, indeed a rare cultivation talent. It’s just uncertain how his Sword Dao aptitude measures...” Another Innate Powerhouse commented.

Given that he approached Ding Shengyu of Spirit Sword Mountain, it suggests his Sword Dao aptitude must be notable.

Subsequently, a Sword Intent soared from Nan Wuji’s body, piercing the sky and dispersing the thick fog!

Then, behind him, a phenomenon appeared.

The phenomenon was a sword shadow, looming ten plus meters high, containing a unique divine aura!

If the ascending Sword Intent symbolized high Sword Dao talent, then the emergence of the sword shadow represented only one thing.

”Sword Dao phenomenon! This person has the Sword Dao Physique!” An Innate Powerhouse exclaimed.

”With just this one, Spirit Sword Mountain’s visit is worthwhile...” Chen Feiyi sighed lightly.

She also felt slightly regretful.

The Zhuyu Sect behind her also followed the Sword Dao route, and acquiring such talent would be excellent.

But she knew, Ding Shengyu would not let go of the person before him.

Indeed, that was the case.

For the first time, a smile appeared on Ding Shengyu’s face, and he said, ”May I ask your name?”

”I am Nan Wuji,” Nan Wuji replied calmly.

”You have excellent Sword Dao aptitude and possess a Sword Body, a rare sword cultivator talent. Today, you are meant to join our Spirit Sword Mountain!

In due time, as your Sword Body is further developed, tremendous changes will occur in your Sword Dao accomplishments, staying here would be a waste...”

Ding Shengyu uncharacteristically spoke a few more sentences, his attitude towards Nan Wuji evidently different from the other aspirants.

Nan Wuji thanked him and thus became the first recruit of Spirit Sword Mountain.

”Song Xiaodi, aren’t you going to give it a try?” Su Yaoguang turned to Song Changming and asked.

”I specialize in wielding a saber, so I won’t go to Spirit Sword Mountain. I believe the senior should be fine,” Song Changming replied, shaking his head.

Su Yaoguang nodded and walked towards Ding Shengyu.

In no time, another Sword Intent shot to the sky, hardly less impressive than Nan Wuji’s.

Most notably, a phenomenon also appeared behind Su Yaoguang.

The revealed phenomenon, resembling either a bright moon or a sword shadow, appeared more enigmatic than Nan Wuji’s.

”With these two talents, I can report back with ease,” Ding Shengyu said with a faint smile.

There was no suspense, Su Yaoguang and Nan Wuji were easily recruited by Spirit Sword Mountain.

This seemed normal, considering the two of them were arguably the most outstanding martial artists among so many in Da Han.

If they weren’t selected, it would be challenging for all of Da Han to find more suitable recruitment targets.

Seeing that both individuals now had secured places, Song Changming began to act.

He had plans beforehand, so without hesitation, he approached one of the ten, the Fire Element Sect.

This Fire Element Sect recruited those with Fire Attribute and Sword Tao aptitudes.

Choosing to enter the Fire Element Sect based on his current knowledge seemed sensible enough.

Named Guo Gui, the middle-aged man’s eyes were small, just slits; his face was not handsome, even somewhat sly.

Yet no one dared to underestimate the person before them.

He was, after all, a legendary Innate master!

Standing before him, Song Changming only felt the subtle yet substantial pressure from the other, keeping him on edge.

Fortunately, the opponent did not intentionally target him, and the other’s aura was deliberately restrained.

”Please give me a try, senior,” Song Changming cupped his hands and greeted.

”Hmm.” Guo Gui said little more, like Ding Shengyu, releasing exceptionally pure Powerful Qi into his body.

Song Changming felt this Qi was extremely pure, albeit just a wisp, yet intensely potent, and although inner Qi, it was quite different from the inner Qi generated by the five Qi vortexes within him.

The Powerful Qi was mild, causing no harm, just circulating within, acting like a trigger, unleashing all his latent potential, both explicit and hidden.

Song Changming didn’t know how the other managed this, and like others, the five Qi vortexes inside him suddenly synchronized, stirring up inner Qi.

Soon after, a soaring Sword Intent emerged from him.

”Not bad, excellent Sword Tao aptitude, and a Qi Refining Fifth Layer cultivation that is fairly adequate...”

Guo Gui nodded, then suddenly furrowed his brow, looking again at Song Changming.

”Why is your Blood Qi so mixed?”

”Mixed Blood Qi?” Song Changming was puzzled, not understanding.

Guo Gui, with his slit eyes flashing sharply, stepped forward, placing a hand on Song Changming’s shoulder, and spoke.

”Do not resist, let me take a closer look.”

After saying so, his Spiritual Power enveloped Song Changming, quickly uncovering the truth.

At this moment, a phenomenon emerged behind Song Changming!

A dragon shadow!

A Dragon, in a scene of raging water.

Roar!

A roar, as if provoked, directly dispersed Guo Gui’s Spiritual Power attached to Song Changming.

”This is the Water-Phase Flood Dragon Body! This person is truly fortunate!” Chen Feiyi of the Zhuyu sect blinked and recognized it.

She knew this Water Element Physique wasn’t naturally innate but acquired through significant fortune afterward.

Hence, she commented that Song Changming was lucky.
