The Ancient Sword Continent, the Land of Divine Wind. Qingyun County sits atop a grand mountain range to the west, shrouded in mist year-round. Within this range lie countless towering peaks, and it is on one such peak that the Qingfeng Sword Sect makes its home. At this time, on the summit of the back mountain of Qingfeng Sword Sect, a fifteen-year-old boy in black was sitting quietly, his eyes deep and gazing down at the entire Qingfeng Sword Sect. "It's been three days already," Fang Chen muttered to himself. Three days ago, Fang Chen was still a student at a university on Earth. But the night before three days ago, an unexpected event occurred that caused Fang Chen to travel to the present day. It was a pitch-black night. Fangchen went out to play with his classmates, but he had to leave early because of something. He walked back to school alone. Fang Chen vaguely remembered that just as he was about to return to school, suddenly thunder boomed in the sky and dark clouds gathered. In the blink of an eye, heavy rain began to pour from the sky. Just then, whether it was a hallucination or reality, Fang Chen felt a flash before his eyes. Then he saw the sky torn apart, and a golden long sword shot towards him at incredible speed. Fang Chen wanted to dodge, but he was unable to move. In the face of his own fear, Fang Chen saw the golden long sword that fell from the sky directly pierce his mouth. The next moment, Fang Chen lost consciousness. When Fang Chen woke up again, he found himself in a strange world, and he had been reborn. It wasn't until that moment that Fang Chen realized he had transmigrated. His soul had entered the body of a deceased disciple from the Qingfeng Sword Sect, and what was even more surprising, the disciple shared his name. Fang Chen, from the Qingfeng Sword Sect, was a former outer disciple. However, due to his low talent and slow cultivation progress, he was regarded as a waste by other outer disciples of the Qingfeng Sword Sect. Fang Chen died because three days ago he had a dispute with an outer sect disciple. The two fought, and as Fang Chen was of lower cultivation, he fell into a coma and eventually died. When Fang Chen woke up, he found himself in a strange place. Naturally, he was a little panicked, but after three days, Fang Chen had accepted this fact. He no longer thought about the things on Earth. Since he had traveled here, he should live well. Perhaps one day he could return to Earth. In three days, Fang Chen finally understood the entire Qingfeng Jianpai. The area where the Qingfeng Sword School is located belongs to Qingyun County, one of the counties within the Shenfeng Kingdom. Qingyun County has many sects, and the Qingfeng Sword Sect is one of them. However, the Qingfeng Sword Sect's overall strength is very weak, ranking at the bottom among the sects in Qingyun County. The Qingfeng Sword Sect has many disciples, divided into outer sect disciples and inner sect disciples. Fang Chen, who died, was killed because he offended an outer sect disciple named Liang Yong. "Since I've taken your place in this reincarnation, I will definitely avenge you." Fang Chen thought to himself, clenching his fist and speaking in a low voice. This world is completely different from Earth. It is a world where martial arts are paramount, and all warriors in this world are cultivating their skills. A martial artist, capable of absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to temper and strengthen themselves. To a certain degree, they can even overturn rivers and seas. And Fang Chen, also understood the cultivation system of martial artists in this world. The very first realm a martial artist reaches is the Qi Refining Realm, followed by the Qi Transformation Realm... Each major realm has nine smaller realms. At this time, Fang Chen was only a first-level Qi Refining Realm martial artist. Among the Qingfeng Sword Sect, he was considered the weakest disciple. Except for Fang Chen, the weakest outer disciples of the Qingfeng Sword Sect were all at the second level of Qi Refining Realm. In three days since arriving in this world, Fang Chen has gradually learned some cultivation methods. The first step for a martial artist to cultivate is to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to temper oneself. The Qi Refining Realm First Level has only the strength of one ox, while the Qi Refining Realm Second Level possesses the strength of two oxen. The difference in power is very significant. "Right now, I need to improve my abilities." Fang Chen made a decision. He was considered a waste within the outer gate. At fifteen years old, he was only at the first level of Qi Refining Realm. If he wanted revenge, he had to increase his strength. After a moment's thought, Fang Chen slowly stood up and began to cultivate. Only Fang Chen, with his eyes slightly closed, clenched his fists and unleashed punch after punch. The surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth slowly seeped into Fang Chen, tempering him. Drink.... A series of roars echoed through the air, and in no time at all, Fang Chen was drenched in sweat, panting heavily. "He's really weak, isn't he? After only a short while of cultivation, he's already exhausted." Fang Chen was speechless. No wonder he had been called a废 before. This is too weak, I've only been cultivating for less than a quarter of an hour and already tired like this. No, you must first strengthen yourself. Only when you are strong enough can you support your own cultivation. Next, Fang Chen is still diligently honing himself. Just as Fang Chen unleashed a punch, and the air was still swirling with residual energy, several extremely piercing sounds suddenly rang out from afar. "Isn't this Waste Fangchen? He's actually not dead?" "I'm so lucky, to be beaten up by Senior Brother Liang like that and still be alive. I must have been extremely fortunate." Three days ago, I was knocked unconscious by Senior Brother Liang. Unexpectedly, three days later, I'm as lively as ever. It seems Senior Brother Liang's strike wasn't strong enough. At this time, on the halfway up the mountain, three outer sect disciples discovered Fang Chen, their faces full of mockery. Fang Chen heard this, his eyes flashed with a barely perceptible anger, then he immediately regained his composure and seriously practiced his punches. Seeing Fang Chen ignore them, the three felt a bit indignant. "Fang Chen, you useless good-for-nothing, just wait for Senior Brother Liang to teach you a lesson." One of them snorted coldly, then the three of them left directly. "Ability, is the most important." Fang Chen deeply felt that he urgently needed to improve his strength. Only then would he not be bullied by others. That so-called senior brother Liang, since he wants to put himself to death and finds that he's still alive, he will definitely make another move. Liang Yong is a martial artist at the second level of the Qi Refining Realm, with strength reaching that of two oxen. With Fang Chen's current abilities, he wouldn't be able to withstand even one punch from Liang Yong. "Continue cultivating." Fang Chen gritted his teeth and began to cultivate. Time passed by bit by bit, and in the blink of an eye, an hour had gone by. During this hour, Fang Chen almost gave up several times, but his indomitable perseverance still saw him through. However, after an hour, Fang Chen finally couldn't hold on any longer. Huff huff huff... Fang Chen's breathing was ragged, his face covered in beads of sweat. "I can't hold on any longer." Fang Chen smiled wryly, said. Fang Chen already had the thought of sitting on the ground to rest, but just then, his heart jumped a few times quickly. Then, Fang Chen was surprised to find that a clear stream flowed out from his heart. This clear stream instantly circulated throughout his body. The next moment, Fang Chen was astonished to find that the fatigue within him had completely vanished. His body was instantly filled with power. "Huh? How could this be, what's with this clear stream, what is it?" Fang Chen was a bit puzzled, what exactly was going on in this scene. I felt the clear current flowing from my heart, but alas, as a Qi-transformation martial artist, I had just begun to connect with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Absorbing and refining this energy was all I could manage, and it wasn't possible for me to perceive my own internal organs. He could clearly feel the airflow within, but he couldn't see it. Fang Chen was very suspicious. However, the next scene left Fang Chen speechless. Because…… His eyes inadvertently swept over his own, and he was shocked to discover that he could see everything inside, even his heart. Of course, that wasn't what surprised Fang Chen the most. What truly astonished him was... His heart, it turned to gold. "My heart, how could it turn gold?" Fang Chen exclaimed in astonishment, feeling an incredible sense of disbelief. How could a person's heart turn to gold? Fang Chen was baffled beyond measure. "Could it be that golden sword?" Fang Chen instantly thought of why he had transmigrated. After comparing with his heart, he found that the golden long sword that pierced his mouth was exactly the same size as his heart. What on earth is going on? Could it be that I traveled through time because of that golden sword? But why has the golden sword vanished? Why does the heart turn gold? After the shock subsided, Fang Chen made an effort to regain his composure and immediately began checking his heart to see if there were any changes. But after a thorough examination, Fang Chen discovered that besides turning golden, the heart had no other special features. Until this moment, Ye Xingchen was certain that his ability to see was absolutely due to Jin's heart. "As I gasped for breath, my heart pounded and clear fluid appeared?" Fang Chen said softly. Then Fang Chen continued to cultivate. Because of that stream of pure energy, Fang Chen's strength was extra abundant. This time, he practiced for a full two hours before he felt tired. "Here I come..." Fang Chen felt his heart racing again. This time, Fang Chen directly looked at his heart, wanting to see what was going on. After his heart skipped a few beats, Fang Chen discovered that from Jin's heart, a clear stream suddenly gushed out, directly spreading throughout his limbs and veins. In an instant, he was once again filled with strength. "It's really because of the heart." Ye Xingchen exclaimed. In this way, Fang Chen repeatedly experimented three or four times before finally understanding that Jin's heart could flow with clear water when he was weak, allowing him to recover his strength instantly. After this discovery, Fang Chen's face was full of smiles. Perhaps this is what they call "great misfortune brings good fortune"? Since I couldn't figure out the relationship between the golden sword and the golden heart, I stopped thinking about it. Besides, the golden heart wasn't giving me any discomfort; instead, it was providing me with strength. "With this clear flow, my cultivation will progress much faster." Fang Chen clenched his fist and smiled. Then, Fang Chen began to practice boxing. The set of boxing he practiced was the most basic boxing technique of the Qingfeng Jianpai, and it was also the strengthening boxing technique of the Qingfeng Jianpai. Every disciple could cultivate it. The Lianquan, in total, has nine levels. Upon completion of the first three levels, one can possess the strength of a bull, equivalent to that of a first-level Qi Refinement disciple. After completing the triple refinement, one can possess the strength of two oxen, equivalent to a Qi Refining Realm second-layer disciple. The third refinement allows for the possession of three oxen's strength, equivalent to a Qi Refining Realm third-layer disciple. Even throughout the entire outer sect of the Qingfeng Sword School, there weren't many people who could cultivate the Fist Techniques to the later third realm. Fang Chen, having cultivated the Fist Refinement Technique to the third level, possessed the strength of a bull and was at the first level of the Qi Refining realm. "Reiki." As Fang Chen roared, he clenched his fists and instantly punched out. With a cracking sound, the large stone far away shattered instantly. This scene also surprised Fang Chen somewhat. "How is that possible?" It turned out that, unknowingly, Fang Chen's martial arts cultivation had already reached the fourth level. |
