Light Cultivation
Eps. 204 — Strength Enhancement II
"Chen'er, this pool I'm talking about... Chen'er, can you hear me?" Master Jian Chen raised his eyebrows as the student continued to look back and did not pay attention to his words.
"Ah, I'm sorry Master, I just haven't gotten used to seeing the scenery just now." Jian Chen smiled awkwardly.
As Jian Chen headed towards the pond that was inside the cave, he crossed paths with an abundant mountain of spirit stones.
One spirit stone alone was already extremely rare in the Dragon Empire, it could make warriors fight each other just because of a stone but in front of it was a mountain of spirit stones that had already piled up.
As Jian Chen wanted to take just a few to save, his teacher directly forbade him. Jian Chen belatedly realized that the two were not alone here.
Near the mountain of spirit stones, there was a huge wolf that had a head of three sleeping on top of the pillar, according to his teacher the big wolf was the guardian of this ancient tomb.
It was not difficult for Master Jian Chen to defeat that demon just that he had no reason to kill it.
Jian Chen or his teacher used the cultivation of the Light God so that spirit stones were not very valuable to them.
Now Jian Chen realized the reason his teacher had forbidden to break the formation at the mouth of the cave, if anyone else had come here it was likely that they would have been killed by the creature.
"I understand Chen'er, spirit stones are very rare to encounter in this Empire, if you want that pile of spirit stones you must take them with your strength.."
Jian Chen nodded, "Good teacher, students understand."
The three-headed wolf is a demon that has approached the demon king or its age has reached ten thousand years more.
With his strength as well as his cultivation that now Jian Chen could not fight against him.
Jian Chen's gaze then shifted to the pond that his teacher was talking about, a hot spring that formed inside the cave.
The pond water is greenish and slightly luminous, formed from the rocks surrounding the pond.
"Chen'er, try soaking here, you'll feel the properties of the stealth gem pool..."
"Teacher, what kind of pool is this?"
"Not anything, the pool is a pool, it's just that this pool is very good for warriors like you. Try to get in there."
Jian Chen scratched his head, did not refute it and directly descended into that pool of warm water, he could feel as his body went into the water, slowly his profound energy started to replenish.
Jian's eyes widened despite hearing the efficacy of the pond, he could imagine that if he filled the power inside here then he could recover faster.
"This teacher..." Jian Chen was hard to say.
"Hm, I accidentally discovered this cave, for a while you'd better train yourself in this cave Chen'er."
"But Master, what about that wolf demon?"
"He won't attack you as long as you don't take his spirit stones. Besides he's been sleeping a long time and only woke up if the formation is broken, so even if you yell at him he won't wake up."
Hearing that Jian Chen breathed a sigh of relief, at least he was safe here despite having to be with the creepy creatures.
Master Jian Chen then left the cave, he could not accompany his disciple continuously or Jian Chen would not develop to the maximum.
Meanwhile to learn the Sun Sword Technique, Jian Chen had already memorized all of his movements, he stayed to perfect the techniques he had already remembered.
"Hm, in addition to replenishing my internal energy faster it turns out that this pool can increase the amount of energy in my body..." Jian Chen muttered softly.
After Jian Chen soaked an hour there, he could feel a loop of inner energy forming as he absorbed the stealth gems.
He is an expert swordsman in energy so the energy in is the most important thing for his development.
***
"I think this is enough..." It had been three weeks since Jian Chen had been in the cave, he had trained there to master the sun sword technique.
When Jian Chen ran out of steam in he was going to soak in the pond, this thing he continuously repeated daily.
Teacher Jian Chen would come occasionally when bringing food for him, Jian Chen felt bad at being treated like that but his teacher said that was not a problem.
Many weeks passed, besides Jian Chen's sword ability to rapidly increase his profound strength had also formed a lot.
"Chen'er, it doesn't matter if you want to focus on increasing the power in first but you have to remember, the amount of energy in not determining the strength of a swordsman."
In the martial world there are various factors to win a fight such as a lot of fighting experience, martial techniques, weapons, and also strategy.
Although Jian Chen could have super much inner strength, it would be useless if the other abilities were not honed.
"I understand Master, thank you for your enlightenment."
Jian Chen was indeed too excited to multiply the amount of power in because according to him it was the most important thing so he forgot to increase his cultivation as well.
"Chen'er, do you know how to ascend to the next realm?"
Jian Chen nodded, after the Semi Crystal Light God Realm was the Ocean Light God, then then the Earth Light God, the Sunlight God, and the Star Light God.
The strength of Jian Chen in his first life was in the Sunlight God Realm, his strength was equivalent to that of a Celestial Realm swordsman.
Jian Chen was actually about to break through to the Star Realm that time but he was hunted to death.
"Ah, if you break through to the Starlight God maybe your strength is already equal to that of the King Realm warrior, you won't die then..."
"King's Nature, what is Teacher?"
"Hm, you don't know, what I was in life and then didn't explain this?"
Jian Chen nodded.
"If you think back, you should not know..." Master Jian Chen stroked his beard. "In this small empire no one should be above the Sky Realm, the King Realm is the cultivation level after the Sky Realm."
Jian Chen was silent for a while after hearing that, to be honest he had heard of cultivation after the Sky Realm yet only this time did he hear his name.
Indeed what his teacher said was true, until the end of his life Jian Chen had never met someone who was above the Sky Realm. Emperors from the Dragon Empire alone were known to be at the peak of the Sky Realm.
"Chen'er, you better focus first on your sword skills, cultivation can be pursued as long as you have enough light in your 8 meridians."
Jian Chen nodded in understanding, with the cultivation of the Light God, he can break through to the next realm in no time let alone he has experience in the past.
Jian Chen then practiced the Sun Sword Technique deeper while his teacher noticed Jian Chen's swordplay while occasionally clucking in admiration.
"It seems like this is enough, although you still have to master it more but it can be pushed back next time, we learn the Eclipse Sword Technique from now on."
The Sun Sword Technique Jian Chen could say was already at the understanding stage, it was not necessary to be in a deeper state so his teacher chose to use the Eclipse Sword Technique.
