Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 347: Chapter 347 Inner Sect Combined Training_1

The Sword Soul Avatar can transform into a sword, appear in human form, or allow the martial artist’s own attack to produce special effects depending on the Martial Soul.

The two Sword Martial Spirits Ling Xiao purchased were only Complete Soul First Level Transparent Body, so the special effects they came with were very weak.

Most Martial Souls at this stage only possess two abilities, one is to enhance the martial artist’s capabilities.

The other is to assist the martial artist in attacking.

Of course, the Mountain and River Martial Soul is somewhat of an exception.

The same goes for these two Sword Martial Spirits, one is the Sword Martial Spirit of Speed, and the other is the Sword Martial Spirit of Strength.

They can respectively increase Ling Xiao’s attack speed and attack strength by ten percent.

It might not sound like much, but against an evenly matched opponent, this help could be significantly impactful.

...

Having condensed two Sword Soul Avatars, Ling Xiao immediately stopped using the Shadow Cultivation Secret Technique and switched to practicing the Shadow Transmutation Sword Art.

Thereafter, he sought to enhance his cultivation level.

He was currently at the pinnacle of the first level of the Transcendent Realm.

The so-called Transcendent Nine Heavens are completely different from the Nine Layers of the Martial Vein Realm.

The Nine Layers of the Martial Vein Realm are actually about accumulating power to awaken the Nine Martial Meridians and laying a solid foundation.

In contrast, the nine layers of transcendence are truly nine realms, akin to the nine heavenly steps leading to the Heavenly Man Realm.

Each step up is a transformation from soul to body, and the difference between each layer is much greater than the difference between the nine layers of the Martial Vein Realm.

For this reason, each breakthrough in the Transcendent Realm Nine Heavens is extremely difficult.

Especially for martial artists with an unstable foundation, it’s quite common to remain at the first heaven for a lifetime.

Master Baiyun was quite young when he broke through to the Transcendent Realm, only in his twenties, yet now, over a hundred years old, he is still at the first heaven of the Transcendent Realm.

He is a prime example of this.

This is also why Master Baiyun always insisted that his disciples must lay a solid foundation and not aim too high too soon.

He had a similar experience, eager for quick success; though he ascended to the Transcendent Realm, he fears he may find it difficult to break through to the second level for the rest of his life, let alone the Heavenly Man Realm.

In fact, each of the nine levels of the Transcendent Realm has a specific name, which is to help martial artists better understand exactly what the Transcendent Nine Heavens are.

The first level purifies the marrow, the second level changes the blood, the third level opens the orifices, the fourth level balances hardness and softness, the fifth level divine power, the sixth level integration, the seventh level godly courage, the eighth level divine transformation, the ninth level divine abilities!

It’s clear that the first three levels are a complete metamorphosis.

Normally, after advancing to the Transcendent Realm, martial artists must complete these three stages, and it is very difficult.

However, Ling Xiao, due to practicing the Heavenly Dragon Golden Body, and on top of that, integrating the blood of the Ancient Golden Dragon,

as well as the anomaly of the Mountain and River Martial Soul,

led to him fully experiencing these three stages as soon as he advanced to the first level of the Transcendent Realm.

That is to say, for Ling Xiao, the first three levels of the Transcendent Realm will hardly pose any difficulty; it’s expected that he can cultivate successfully with ease.

Starting from the fourth level, that’s when it will gradually become more challenging.

”Is Ling Xiao there?”

Suddenly, a voice rang out from outside the cave abode.

”Elder Bai?”

Ling Xiao was quite familiar with this voice.

In the Outer Sect, Elder Bai was someone who valued him highly, and his assistance to Ling Xiao had also been significant.

”Yes!”

Ling Xiao stood up and then walked out of the cave abode.

”Elder Bai, what brings you here? Do you need something?”

”Well, the Hall Master of the Outer Sect Main Hall, Venerable Pure Sky, requests your presence.”

Since joining the Sect, Ling Xiao had yet to meet the Hall Master of the Outer Sect Main Hall.

”Venerable Pure Sky, huh? That title does sound quite interesting.”

Could it be someone with a penchant for cleanliness?

Ling Xiao speculated maliciously.

”Disciple obeys.”

Since he planned to stay in the Outer Sect for a while longer, he couldn’t afford to offend the Hall Master of the Outer Sect Main Hall.

Besides, he guessed that there might be some good fortune waiting for him this time.

After all, he was the top disciple of the Outer Disciples, and the ”star of hope” that the older generations yearned for to breathe out their frustrations.

Ling Xiao didn’t mind helping these elders release their frustration.

He also felt that those from the Inner Sect were a bit too arrogant.

All along, within the Inner Sect, only the geniuses who were directly chosen by elders, like Leng Hao and Ming Tian, possessed certain privileges.

And their status was exceedingly high.

On the contrary, the disciples who were promoted from the Outer to the Inner Sect, even after reaching the Inner Sect, were looked down upon by these proud children of the heavens.

This was the sorrow of these disciples.

And the sorrow of the Outer Sect.

After all, to date, no disciple who had ascended from the Outer Sect had ever challenged the status of these favored children.

Talent was certainly one reason.

However, the more significant issue actually lay in the fact that the Inner Sect disciples who had been promoted were very unwelcome and couldn’t get enough resources. Although cultivation was not a problem, they couldn’t compare with those pampered prodigies.

Zhao Zhi had told him all about these matters.

Zhao Zhi and Zhao Ci, as members of the Imperial Family, both felt this discrimination acutely. Their imperial uncle Elder was indifferent to them; instead, he devoted all his efforts to cultivating the favored child he had brought back from outside.

Dai Yuling was somewhat luckier.

Lan Yu’er was her only disciple, and she treated her as dearly as a real sister.

Ling Xiao reckoned that he would face the same treatment upon entering the Inner Sect.

Therefore, he planned to give these pampered prodigies something to worry about before he stepped in.

He disliked the terms ”chance” and ”opportunity” and believed that it was better to have control over his own destiny.

Otherwise, even when opportunity knocked, he wouldn’t be able to grasp it.

Right now, he was executing his plan methodically. If the task that Venerable Pure Sky wanted him to do this time coincided with his plans, he would naturally go all out to accomplish it.

If it went against his plans, he might just deal with it casually.

There was no need to take it too seriously.

”Ling Xiao, I have summoned you here today to inform you of something,” said Venerable Pure Sky in his dustless white robes. This guy definitely had a thing for cleanliness; seeing his subordinates staying at least ten meters away from him, lest they cause him discomfort, confirmed Ling Xiao’s judgment.

”Hall Master, just give your orders, and your disciple will brave water and tread through fire without hesitation!” Ling Xiao bowed with his hands clasped in front of him.

Some formalities had to be observed.

”Hahaha, it’s good to have such resolve. Actually, this is a rare opportunity for you,” Venerable Pure Sky said with a smile. ”Every month, to help Outer Disciples advance to the Inner Sect as soon as possible, the top three of the Outer Sect are invited to train with the Inner Sect for a period. The duration varies, but you will live and cultivate alongside Inner Sect Disciples, and it will not exceed three months at most.”

”Hall Master, aren’t you making it sound too nice? Saying it’s to help Outer Disciples advance... It’s really just to give those bottom-tier Inner Sect Disciples a confidence boost,” came a voice from Elder Bai, who felt it was necessary to tell Ling Xiao the truth.
