Chapter 1049: Chapter 1049: Leijue Sword

After listening to Huangfu Yongchun’s introduction, Wang Chen fell into deep thought.

The purpose of the Qijue Club sounded very appealing. Huangfu Yongchun, along with the five other Golden Cores who had already joined, were all Loose Cultivators without any background powers. It was perfectly normal for everyone to band together for better survival.

But Wang Chen was now used to wandering alone, and suddenly joining a small team made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

“Taoist Friend Wang, you need not have any concerns.”

Observing his reaction, Huangfu Yongchun smiled and said: “The Qijue Club places no restrictions on its members. Although I am the president, my status is completely the same as everyone else’s, without any hierarchy.”

“And after you join, you will be the last member. Unless someone leaves, we will not recruit new members.”

“There are similarly no restrictions on leaving!”

His earnest explanation finally moved Wang Chen: “In that case, count me in.”

Without restrictions and free to come and go, it wouldn’t have much of an impact on his life.

And through the Qijue Club, Wang Chen could expand his network, as well as conveniently share knowledge with other Golden Core True Persons.

No matter how he thought about it, the benefits outweighed the cons!

“Excellent.”

Huangfu Yongchun clapped his hands with a laugh: “Now we have finally assembled all of the Qijue Sword members. Taoist Friend Wang, you should first properly comprehend this Leijue Sword Technique. If you encounter any problems, just send a message to me!”

His tone revealed a strong confidence, clearly possessing substantial expertise in this swordsmanship.

Wang Chen readily agreed.

Wang Chen actually wanted to ask, if he chose not to join the Qijue Club, would they still be able to assemble the Qijue Sword Formation without the Leijue Sword Technique?

But then he thought about it. The other party was a Golden Core over two hundred years old. How could they possibly not have a backup plan!

The Leijue Sword Technique that Huangfu Yongchun exchanged with Wang Chen was certainly not the only copy.

After seeing off Huangfu Yongchun, Wang Chen went into seclusion again.

Cultivating the Leijue Sword Technique.

This sword technique was profound and powerful, far stronger than the Four Seasons Sword and Lovesickness Sword, and definitely not easy to master its essence.

But Wang Chen had a cheat.

While forging the Flying Sword for Huangfu Yongchun, he had already initiated into this sword art, and what he needed to do next was gradually raise its mastery level.

Half a month later, Wang Chen emerged from seclusion.

He left Luodu Immortal City, shooting out a streak of Sword Light towards the southwest direction.

After flying hundreds of miles in one breath, he saw that his surroundings were desolate, with fluctuating mountains and steep peaks providing an exceedingly secluded location.

Wang Chen thus chose an empty piece of land to descend upon.

The next moment, he summoned the Dragon Abyss Sword.

Once his Life-bound Flying Sword was released, the fierce Sword Light immediately illuminated the surroundings, and Wang Chen immediately formed a sword gesture with his hands, wielding and displaying the Leijue Sword Technique. Thunderous sounds immediately echoed throughout the valley.

In an instant, the Dragon Abyss Sword circled Wang Chen dozens of times. The Sword Radiance it emitted gradually shifted from a pure white color to a deep blue with a tinge of purple, with serpentine bolts of electricity coiling around the sword’s body, crackling and hissing.

As the Flying Sword’s speed kept increasing, the released might of the Dragon Abyss Sword became increasingly terrifying. Thousands of thunderbolt rays swept through everything within a hundred steps, like a force of destruction.

Whether it was trees, thorns, or jutting rocks, all were turned to dust.

And at this very moment, Wang Chen’s Life-bound Flying Sword moved at speeds imperceptible to the naked eye, surrounded by overwhelmingly strong thunderous forces, making it difficult for Wang Chen to control.

Suddenly, a fiercely intense lightning beam shot straight into the firmament, tearing through the atmosphere, and the thunderous rumble resonated in all directions, rolling and echoing for a long time.

[Leijue Sword Technique Experience +1]

Standing in the valley, Wang Chen reached out with his hand, and the Dragon Abyss Sword swiftly returned with a flip, obediently coming back into his grasp.

Holding the sword in hand, Wang Chen opened up the Cultivation Panel.

[Leijue Sword Technique (Mastery): 0/2000]

The bottleneck of the sword technique has been broken!

Previously, he had practiced this sword technique in the seclusion of his private chamber, bringing the experience points to the pinnacle of the beginner stage.

Then he hit a wall and could not make a breakthrough.

Although Wang Chen could simply use Human Virtue Points to level up the sword technique to Mastery Level,

he felt that was the last resort.

Wang Chen realized the limitations of his training environment on swordsmanship, hence he decisively left his seclusion to go to a desolate wilderness, and, indeed, he succeeded in smoothly advancing to the mastery tier.

However, Wang Chen was not complacent because of this; he had profoundly experienced the power of this swordsmanship, and so he was determined to spend more time and effort to continue leveling it up.

Wang Chen estimated that during his Golden Core Stage, he could at most level this sword technique up to the Great Achievement Realm.

The tiers of Grandmaster and Great Perfection, on the other hand, required stepping into the Nascent Soul Stage to breach!

This was the conclusion Wang Chen had reached based on his understanding and insight into this sword technique.

Because the Jade Slip containing the cultivation techniques given to him by Huangfu Yongchun included the complete collection of the Qijue Sword Technique.

He stroked his chin, pondering.

If just one set of the Leijue Sword Technique is already so powerful, what kind of might could be achieved by collecting the full set?

According to Huangfu Yongchun, the sword formation comprised of seven Golden Cores each in charge of Heaven, Earth, Man, Wind, Thunder, Fire, and Rain Swords, could contend with mid-order Nascent Souls.

And if all seven Golden Cores were of high-order cultivation, they could battle against high-order Nascent Souls!

But there was a problem here: the attainment in sword techniques.

Everyone has different talents and Comprehension. One sword technique will show varying proficiency with each cultivator, not to mention seven different techniques.

Could it be that, regardless of the level of proficiency in sword techniques, as long as they form the Qijue Sword Formation, they could all wield such tremendous power?

Wang Chen didn’t believe Huangfu Yongchun was just bamboozling him.

He suspected that there was a profound mystery or secret with this sword technique, or rather the sword formation!

Unfortunately, obtaining the Leijue Sword Technique was already a feat. If not for Huangfu Yongchun having his own agenda, it would not have been possible for Wang Chen to trade for it. To collect the complete set of seven… unless…

Wang Chen shook his head, banishing murderous and pillaging thoughts from his mind.

He may not be a Saint, but he never committed evil for the sake of it; those he has slain all had it coming.

A true man should know what must be done and what must be avoided. This was the belief that Wang Chen adhered to, the Foundation of Establishing the Tao.

If he ever abandoned these principles, then he would never reach the highest peak!

Taking a long breath, Wang Chen prepared to move to another place to continue his sword practice.

It was rare for him to come out, so it was good to farm some more experience points.

Just as Wang Chen was about to set off, sudden streaks of light flitted through the air, blocking his path.

It turned out to be a group of young cultivators, a mix of men and women, totaling seven.

“Eh?”

The leading cultivator, handsome in appearance and exuding the aura of mid-order Golden Core, was surprised to see Wang Chen standing alone in the valley and a hint of astonishment flashed in his eyes.

This valley had already been “ravaged” by Wang Chen, looking as if it had just endured a mighty battle.

“My apologies.”

The leading Golden Core cultivator bowed to Wang Chen, signaled to his companions with a gesture, and then turned to depart.

Decisive and without dragging one’s feet at all!
