Chapter 17: Great Strength Increase, Secret Realm, Dragon Ranking!

Time flew.

One month later.

Creak~

The door was pushed open.

A figure in white walked out.

It was Meng Changqing.

But at this moment, his aura had greatly increased!

Quite imposing!

“Fourth Level of the Aperture Connecting Realm!”

To be honest, this realm was somewhat beyond his expectations.

He thought that reaching the Third Level was about the limit.

But unexpectedly, he had reached the Fourth Level.

But thinking about it, it was understandable.

After all, he already had a Root Bone of the Second Grade!

It’s incomparable.

Plus, there was the assistance of precious resources like the Elemental Spirit Grass.

Looking around, his eyes happened to fall on the huge stone in the courtyard.

This was specially provided for disciples to practice, and its texture was quite hard.

Feeling inspired, Meng Changqing also wanted to see the specific improvement in his current strength.

Swoosh!

Drawing his sword, he immediately executed the perfected Wind and Thunder Sword Art.

Under the cultivation of the Fourth Level of the Aperture Connecting Realm, the wind and thunder rolled in an instant!

But on the sword, there were densely packed electric lights flickering, like running thunderous serpents.

There was also a howling wind, stirring up thousands of fallen leaves in the courtyard.

Crack!

The sword light arrived in the blink of an eye and landed on the practice stone!

Sparks flew.

It actually split it in half.

Hiss!

Meng Changqing couldn’t help but draw a cold breath.

To be honest, this power was a bit beyond his imagination.

You should know that this was a practice stone.

You can imagine how hard it was.

But unexpectedly, he split it in half with just one sword!

Indeed, it was a perfected profound-level sword technique.

If he used Sword Qi?

If he integrated Sword Qi into his sword moves, turning them into Wind and Thunder Sword Intent, the scene would be even more astonishing.

Generally speaking, when a martial skill reached the profound level, it tends to lean towards intent, transcending the realm of technique.

It focused on the concept.

So if one comprehended qi, or even higher-level concepts…

They could truly unleash the full power of a profound-level martial skill.

Satisfied, he nodded.

Meng Changqing was about to sheathe his sword when he happened to see numerous cracks appearing on the sword’s body, as if it would shatter with a touch.

“I need to get a high-grade sword as soon as possible.”

The ordinary swords he carried with him couldn’t withstand his power anymore.

Just using one move of the Wind and Thunder Sword Art had led to this appearance.

“I should visit the clan.” Meng Changqing made up his mind.

Actually, the family had given him quite a few resources before, but since his aptitude had improved and he had reached the Second Grade, his consumption rate had become extremely fast.

His family, the Meng Clan Business Association, as the name suggests, primarily engaged in business.

So the family’s background was quite solid.

The current president, who happened to be his aunt, had said that with full support, they could cultivate a peak expert of the Dao Creation Realm!

It’s just a pity that the talents of the family’s descendants were all average, without anyone particularly outstanding.

“Hmm?” As if sensing something, Meng Changqing looked to his right.

He saw someone standing at the gate of the courtyard.

It was Qin Fang.

He stood there with his mouth agape, in a state of stunned disbelief.

His eyes were filled with incredulity!

“Senior Qin,” Meng Changqing smiled faintly.

At his words, Qin Fang suddenly came back to his senses, then quickly stepped forward, looking extremely shocked as he said, “Junior Meng, have you mastered the Wind and Thunder Sword Art to perfection?”

Perfection meant the merging of wind and thunder. And the situation just now was clearly something only achievable at the level of perfection.

“Yes,” Meng Changqing nodded.

Qin Fang immediately took two steps back, his expression shaking.

If he remembered correctly, Meng Changqing had only obtained the Wind and Thunder Sword Art a month ago.

Just a month.

In just one month, he had mastered it to perfection.

You have to know, this was a profound-level sword technique.

Not some lower-level one!

His comprehension was quite good.

But after practicing for eight years, he had only reached Mastery stage.

But Meng Changqing…

Was this guy really human?

But thinking about Meng Changqing’s situation, Qin Fang could understand it a little.

A person who comprehended Sword Qi.

Mastering the Wind and Thunder Sword Art to perfection in just a month didn’t seem like a difficult thing.

Hmm, that’s right.

“Junior Brother Meng’s comprehension is truly terrifying. In the future, I’m afraid even the ‘SpiritSword Canon’ could be learned by him,” Qin Fang said seriously.

“Senior Qin is too kind. I just got lucky,” Meng Changqing said modestly.

The “Spirit Sword Canon” was the highest-level sword technique of the Spirit Peak.

It contained ten parts.

It was said that the highest-ranked one is almost at the Heavenly level!

Qin Fang shook his head slightly.

Lucky?

Too modest.

What luck is there in practicing this martial art? It’s almost entirely based on comprehension.

“Senior Qin, did you come to me for something?” Meng Changqing asked.

“This…” Qin Fang was a little embarrassed.

Originally, he wanted to “advise” Meng Changqing a bit, to strengthen their relationship in advance.

Who would have thought that Meng Changqing, in just one month, had practiced to perfection!

His swordsmanship was even higher than his!

What advice could he give now?

“Ahem, there’s nothing really. I just came to see how you’re doing,” Qin Fang coughed lightly, not blushing or skipping a beat, “and also to give you some good news.”

“I’m all ears,” Meng Changqing’s spirits lifted.

Qin Fang was also considered an elder in the inner sect. What he considered good news was naturally not ordinary.

“The sect’s secret realm is going to be opened ahead of schedule,” Qin Fang’s voice carried a hint of excitement.

“A secret realm,” Meng Changqing was momentarily stunned, then his eyes lit up.

In the cultivation world, the words “secret realm” were almost synonymous with good fortune.

Inside, there were various treasures, elixirs, and wonders.

It was a land of opportunity.

But secret realms were controlled by major forces, and ordinary martial artists rarely had the chance to enter.

This was also one of the reasons why many martial artists wanted to join major forces.

It seemed that he was lucky. He had just arrived, and such a thing had happened. Generally speaking, secret realms were only opened every few years.

“When will it open?” Meng Changqing asked.

“About two months from now,” Qin Fang replied. “Originally, it was supposed to be at least half a year later, but recently, six of our sect’s disciples were struck off the Dragon Ranking, and the situation became critical. Therefore, the sect had to open it early.”

“The Dragon Ranking,” Meng Changqing narrowed his eyes slightly.

This was a list set up by the four major holy lands.

It aimed to stimulate martial artists’ fighting spirit and was also a symbol of the strength of various major forces.

It was said to also affect the evaluation of sect levels.

Anyway, it was very important and couldn’t be ignored.
