Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
During the day, Qin Chen spent his time studying the information about the Sword Tomb, understanding its situation. Feng Tianzhen gave him a sword token, informing Qin Chen that this was something his great-grandfather obtained from the Sword Tomb many years ago. It contained the secrets of the Sword Tomb, having been passed down through countless years until it reached his hands. However, he had been unable to decipher its profound meanings and only knew that cultivating with the sword token would greatly aid his swordsmanship.
Now, he was giving this sword token to Qin Chen, hoping that Qin Chen could uncover its secrets.
At first, Qin Chen was reluctant to accept it, as it was a relic from Feng Tianzhen's great-grandfather. However, Feng Tianzhen insisted on gifting it to Qin Chen, saying that Qin Chen had helped the Ancient Dao Sect so much, yet the sect had not repaid him. This sword token might be of help to Qin Chen.
Moreover, Qin Chen was also an heir of the Tongtian Sword Pavilion, so giving this sword token to him was also a way of returning it to its rightful owner.
With no other choice, Qin Chen accepted it. These days, he focused on studying this sword token. The more he studied, the more he felt its vast mysteries, as if it contained the supreme truths of swordsmanship, leading to an astounding improvement in his own swordsmanship.
At night, Qin Chen would enter the Qian Kun Creation Jade Dish to concentrate on cultivation, striving to enhance his cultivation level.
Under the accelerated effect of the power of time within the Qian Kun Creation Jade Dish, half a month felt equivalent to several years of closed-door cultivation for Qin Chen.
That night, just after Qin Chen finished his cultivation, a roar erupted from within him. Infinite powers of the mid-stage peak Saint Master surged rapidly, transforming into terrifying Saint Yuan and merging with his entire being.
On the sword token, streams of brilliant light circulated, with sword patterns flashing and revealing an astonishing vastness, which integrated into Qin Chen's body. Suddenly, a terrifying sword aura surged into the sky, transforming into a vast river.
"Hmm?
My sword rules actually broke through. It's very difficult to elevate the realm of Saint Master; after such a long time, I finally feel the urge to break past the later stage Saint Master."
A joyful expression appeared on Qin Chen's face. The best improvement in cultivation is when potential is sufficient; sooner or later, one will reach their goals. However, no matter how easy it is to improve, it still requires a certain amount of time for oneself to fully integrate with the Heavenly Dao.
The later stage Saint Master requires one to merge with the universe, reaching a terrifying level above various rules.
Initially, after absorbing the Fate Dao of the Zhuge family, Qin Chen had already sensed the opportunity to break through to later stage Saint Master. However, he didn't rashly attempt it, for relying solely on the Fate Dao was not enough to directly step into the later stage Saint Master realm.
After coming to the Ancient Dao Sect, Qin Chen felt the fate of the sect. These days, he also studied the sword techniques inherited from the sect and finally had an epiphany, feeling a vague impulse in the path of swordsmanship.
This made Qin Chen ecstatic.
Generally, breakthroughs in cultivation require time, and what Qin Chen lacked most was time, which made him feel that his progress was too slow.
Now, he finally felt the sensation of breaking through the later stage Saint Master, indicating that his realm had indeed improved again.
"I just need a little more, just one more opportunity, and I can break through to the later stage Saint Master realm. Once I do, my strength will definitely reach new heights."
Qin Chen sighed.
"These days, I have entrusted everything to Qingqiu Ziyi and Dao Wang Mu Zhifeng. I wonder how they have developed the Ancient Dao Sect?"
Feeling bored, Qin Chen released his soul power, sweeping it throughout the Ancient Dao Sect.
