Chapter 33 Upgrade of the Calamity Sword - Cause and Effect

Good news, Zhang Yunqing is back.

The bad news is that Chen Ren realized he might have overdone it; his cheap master now wanted to seriously train him.

Zhang Yunqing simply told him that although the flawless body was good, his aptitude could only be considered average.

"In this ancient world, there is no shortage of geniuses. Even someone with a flawless physique like yours, or someone with pure Yang Qi like Renqi, can only be considered as good as a C-grade talent at most."

"If nothing unexpected happens, Qi Refining is the pinnacle for you. Unless there is a miracle, it is almost impossible for you to reach the Foundation Establishment stage or the Innate stage in this lifetime."

She asked Chen Ren directly, "Do you want to see a higher view? I have a way to help you break through the limitations of your talent."

"Master, I don't want to."

Chen Ren immediately stated that he only wanted to cultivate quietly and grow steadily.

"I'm only at the sixth level of Qi and Blood now, it's too early for me to take risks. Should I wait until I reach the Day after tomorrow stage?"

He has the Calamity Sword, and he can gradually improve his aptitude through slow cultivation, so there's no need for him to go out and take risks.

If you don't have the necessary qualifications, then just work on improving them; there's no need to put in the effort.

Zhang Yunqing: [Ding: Sword Drawing Value +500!]

The Foundation Establishment master is truly different; his sword-drawing value is enough to allow Chen Ren to break through his limits once.

No, you want to.

Her gaze was intense as she stared into Chen Ren's eyes: "Tell your teacher, what do you want!"

Chen Ren: "I really don't want to..."

Zhang Yunqing frowned, then nodded: "Alright, the Shangqing Palace lineage has always followed the natural course of things. If you don't want to work hard now, then forget it."

She seemed to dislike forcing things, only saying to Chen Rendao:

"However, I will still take you down the mountain for a walk a month later. There will be benefits for you, so you can prepare. In theory, there shouldn't be any danger."

Ha, you think you're all set just because you don't agree? She has plenty of ways to get things done; she'll just have to trick her into leaving first.

Those opportunities will be gone once this period is over.

Chen Ren pondered Zhang Yunqing's words.

Logically speaking

"should"

This is the last thing he wants to hear. Couldn't you just say there's no danger?

Unfortunately, the latter soared straight into the sky, leaving him no choice but to prepare in secret.

Although Zhang Yunqing returned to Shangqing Peak, the lack of mandatory missions made their connection almost nonexistent, unlike the complex web of interests among the other peaks.

The other senior brothers and sisters were not even given a second glance by their cheap master.

This also gave Chen Ren a convenient opportunity. He memorized the three subsequent levels of the Overlapping Waves Technique and broke through to the seventh level of Qi and Blood in just two days!

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang!"

That morning, as the sun rose over the ancient realm, Chen Ren unleashed a fist brimming with blood and qi, striking seven times in a row, finally breaking through the bottleneck!

But he didn't stop. Instead, he continued to throw punches, his blood and qi gathering in his body, and a totem shaped like an eye could be vaguely seen.

Chen Ren closed his eyes, seemingly to consolidate his cultivation, but in reality, a tremendous change was taking place in his sea of ​​consciousness!

Calamity Sword - Upgrade!

Within his sea of ​​consciousness, the seemingly ordinary longsword was now trembling slightly, faintly emitting a wisp of spiritual light.

It absorbed all the bluish-white jade, and the sword itself also possessed the qualities of bluish-white jade.

Delicate, warm, and full of radiance.

If you look closely, you can see that some mysterious patterns seem to appear on it.

Chen Ren and E Jian were of one mind, and streams of enlightenment kept flowing into their hearts.

The Calamity Sword has finally been upgraded!

Before the upgrade, this sword could only cut through ordinary mortal objects; anything related to cultivators required breaking through its limits.

But now it's different. With the upgrade of the Calamity Sword, it can cut through mortal objects as easily as cutting through refined energy!

Breaking the limit changed from the original Qi-condensing technique to Qi-refining technique!

This is our greatest asset, and not only that, new features have finally arrived!

【The Sword of Calamity】

[Sword Drawing Value: 1115]

[Evolution conditions: Sword drawing 31/100, Divine Bone x1, Acquired level 7.]

[Limit Break Condition: 500 Sword Drawing Points.]

[Drawing the Sword Based on Cause and Effect: 1000 Sword Drawing Points]

[The Karma-Based Sword-Drawing Value is now available. When your karmic connection with another person deepens to a certain extent, you can obtain Sword-Drawing Value from them.]

In addition to the various functions before, there are now more ways to collect sword-drawing points.

There's also the added causal sword-drawing technique.

Chen Ren's gaze fell on the sword drawn by the cause and effect, and he immediately understood what its purpose was.

The Sword of Cause and Effect, as the name suggests, is a sword that can sever cause and effect!

Cut off the cause, and the effect will follow!

Cut the fruit, let the cause fall!

Theoretically, accumulating 1,000 sword-drawing points can fundamentally solve a problem.

This...this is just too incredible!

He stared at his golden finger for a long time, and his breathing began to quicken.

If we cut off his spiritual root, can we change the fact that he has insufficient innate spiritual root?

It is widely known that martial arts and immortality can go hand in hand and both lead to longevity.

However, martial arts require far more resources than immortality. Immortals can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth simply by closing their eyes and meditating, but martial arts require eating and training.

If one can cultivate immortality, who would bother to painstakingly cultivate martial arts?

Does Chen Ren not want to cultivate immortality? Does he not want to be like Su Rentong, slashing out spiritual energy with a wave of his hand?

No, he had no choice.

He can only sever his connection with heaven and earth, and can only follow the path of martial arts cultivation.

He could only watch as Su Rentong cultivated the Azure Wood Essence, unable to do anything about it, because he himself could not cultivate the Immortal Path.

But now, with the words "cause and effect" looming before him, Chen Ren swallowed hard and drew his sword almost without hesitation!

Upon drawing the sword for the first time, the sword indicates that a rehearsal can be performed by spending 100 sword-drawing points.

The preview ends, and the 100 sword-drawing points will not be refunded, but you can choose whether to accept or refuse the preview ending.

If you accept, then you will have to pay the remaining 1000 sword-drawing points.

A rehearsal of the "Cause and Effect Sword Drawing" technique, costing only 100 points for practice, is definitely worthwhile for Chen Ren, who prefers to play it safe.

Cause and effect, cause and effect... Let him try and see if those thousand sword-drawing points are worth it!

The top of Shangqing Peak is unremarkable.

But in Chen Ren's view, everything was different. He was now one with the sword and saw a special line.

This line represents his life trajectory, originating from another distant parallel universe and crashing into this world.

That was his journey through time.

But at this moment, the sword of calamity, without any regard for reason, followed the line from which he had traveled and brought him back to the beginning of everything.

This is the starting point of his karma in this life. He comes from another world and has no aptitude for cultivating immortality, which is perfectly normal.

Chen Ren drew his sword, intending to take action against the karma that led to his immortal cultivation.

If cause and effect change, his aptitude will certainly change as well!

So he slashed at that line, forcefully severing his karma from his original world.

His causal qualities fell with the sword of calamity. After thinking for a moment, he placed his "cause" in the scorching summer of this world, on Mount Qingcheng.

In that very instant, during the rehearsal, his 1,000 sword-drawing points were cleared, and at the same time, another completely different memory, yet belonging to him, appeared, like a movie playing.

[Ding: You have severed your past life's karma and karmic connections, which have now manifested in this life.]

[You were born on a hot Earth and received the humanitarian protection of this world. You are very lucky to have been born in Qingcheng Mountain, where the spiritual energy of cultivators is abundant and the environment is excellent.]

[Your parents chose to plow one evening, and by chance, you were born.]

[Due to the altered cause and effect, you have successfully severed your own aptitude, becoming a cripple incapable of cultivating immortality.]

The rehearsal is over, and everything has returned to normal.

Chen Ren's expression changed drastically. He immediately looked at his sword-drawing value and cultivation level and found that apart from losing 100 sword-drawing values, there was still no change. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it was just a rehearsal. The cause and effect was to cut off his aptitude, but the effect was not very good, just like how he cut off his peach blossom luck in his previous life.

"It's good that we had a rehearsal, but isn't there too much uncertainty regarding their qualifications?"

He frowned. Cause and effect really can't be manipulated at will. No... maybe the method was wrong.
