The Sword Master God's Journey to Face Slapping

That's right, the mission. After Xuan Yuan entered the foundation-building stage and successfully worshipped the elder of the Sword Sect, Yun Jun Zhenren, as his disciple, do you think that Xuan Yuan has reached the peak of his life and his path of cultivation has been smooth sailing since then? Of course not. After worshipping Yun Jun Zhenren as his master, Xuan Yuan did successfully change from an outer disciple to a core disciple, and his treatment and status were soaring.

However, that was all. After worshipping Yun Jun Zhenren as his master, the changes that took place in Xuan Yuan's life were just that. There was no development that he became a core disciple and became the most influential person in the Sword Sect. Although he was also valued by the sect, it was a joke to say that he could walk sideways in the Sword Sect and had a high status in the Sword Sect.

Xuan Yuan was a core disciple, but he was just a cultivator in the foundation building stage. In the Sword Sect, where strength was the key to status, he was really not a big shot. Becoming a disciple did not give Xuan Yuan any capital to show off, nor did it make him rise to become a well-known figure in the Sword Sect. Moreover, in the Sword Sect, disciples, deacons and elders after the foundation building stage were all busy with cultivation, so this figure had to be able to be a big figure.

Xuan Yuan was very calm about everything he faced after becoming a disciple. He was not disappointed and frustrated because he could not reach the top in one step. On the contrary, he was very satisfied with the treatment he received after becoming a disciple. The monthly allowance of core disciples was definitely not comparable to that of outer disciples. Xuan Yuan could be regarded as a wealthy person in the cultivation world, not as stretched as before.

And not only did the monthly allowance increase a lot, but Xuan Yuan also received great help in cultivation. When he first joined the Sword Sect, he could only rely on the records in the Sword Canon to practice by himself. He had no idea whether he was practicing correctly. He practiced based on instinct... Xuanyuan was lucky to be able to develop the sword intent in the Qi Refining Stage and not be exhausted.

After he became Yunjun Zhenren's master, although he adhered to the consistent principles and rules of the Sword Sect, Yunjun Zhenren did not interfere too much with Xuanyuan's practice, but he still gave Xuanyuan some guidance on the sword way and taught him the correct way to condense the sword intent. He could not teach the way of sword cultivation, but he had no problem with some of the skills and methods of sword cultivation.

In addition to guiding Xuanyuan to walk more correctly on the way of sword cultivation, Yunjun Zhenren also carefully selected some of the sword insights he gave Xuanyuan. After watching them, they could bring Xuanyuan some insights that could be applied to other things, so that he could have a deeper understanding of the sword canon and the sword intent, so that he would not lose his way on the road of cultivation.

Compared to when he first joined the Sword Sect and had to learn by himself, after becoming Yunjun Zhenren's disciple, Xuanyuan really felt that this was a great improvement from the bottom of his heart. He felt that he was lucky enough to have a reliable master to guide and teach him, so that he would not go astray in the practice of swordsmanship.

In order to guide Xuanyuan to go further on the path of cultivation and not to deviate from the path, Yunjun Zhenren not only selected some swordsmanship insights left by the predecessors of the Sword Sect for Xuanyuan to watch, but also arranged a large number of tasks for Xuanyuan. The difficulty of these tasks is naturally a level higher and more difficult than the ones Xuanyuan accepted during the Qi Refining Period.

After the Foundation Establishment Period, Xuanyuan's biggest change is not the improvement of strength, but the successful refining of his natal flying sword. Only after he has his natal flying sword, he can be considered a true sword cultivator. The strength of a sword cultivator with his natal flying sword is naturally different from that before he had the flying sword. Therefore, after the foundation building period, if the difficulty of the task does not increase dramatically, it will really not be difficult for Xuanyuan.

The reason why Master Yunjun gave Xuanyuan a task was very simple. The path of sword cultivation was not a path that could be taken in a greenhouse with careful care and cultivation. It was a path destined to break out in blood and fire, destined to be hard and dangerous all the way. To sharpen the sword spirit in the heart of a sword cultivator, he needed constant fighting and experience.

So in order to ensure that his newly accepted disciple could thrive and make progress on the path of sword cultivation, Master Yunjun very straightforwardly accepted a series of tasks tailored for Xuanyuan, and ordered Xuanyuan to complete these tasks one by one without slacking off, and to continue to practice hard in the process of completing the tasks.

Xuanyuan, who was less than 19 or 20 years old at the time, was really a stubborn person. He had a stubborn side in his character and a resolute and decisive temperament. At the beginning, Xuanyuan didn't think about how difficult it was or how difficult it was to complete the tasks arranged by Master Yunjun. He just recognized one thing: if he wanted to become stronger, he had to complete these tasks.

So during the period of cultivation in the foundation-building period, Xuan Yuan rushed from one task to another every day, diligently and conscientiously completing the tasks assigned by Yun Jun Zhenren, not slacking off at all, and even not fearing those tasks that were obviously too difficult, and really just went up with his natal flying sword.

Yun Jun Zhenren assigned such heavy, tedious and large tasks to Xuan Yuan, not because he was deliberately looking for trouble. In fact, his original intention was to let Xuan Yuan choose the appropriate tasks to do, as long as he ensured that he had some training during the foundation-building period. Those tasks were carefully selected by him, and each one was very sharpening. As long as Xuan Yuan chose any one to practice, he could do it.

Even Master Yunjun didn't expect that Xuanyuan didn't just pick out a few of the tasks he arranged, but he completed all of them without missing a single one, and never complained or felt tired, just persevered to complete those tasks during the foundation-building period.

During the foundation-building period, Xuanyuan's practice in the sword canon was guided by Master Yunjun. In terms of the concentration of sword intent, he not only had Master Yunjun's advice, but also learned a lot from the sword-fighting insights left by the predecessors of the sword sect. With so many difficult and dangerous tasks to hone himself, Xuanyuan's cultivation can be said to be advancing by leaps and bounds.

However, although Xuanyuan's cultivation speed during the foundation-building period was among the best in the entire sword sect, he still felt that he was not good enough and not working hard enough. He practiced more and more desperately and hard, but there was no time to relax or slack off.

When Xuanyuan was in the foundation-building stage, most of the tasks assigned to him by Yunjun Zhenren were to hunt monsters. In the more than ten years since Xuanyuan entered the foundation-building stage, the monsters in the back mountain of Jianzong were really unlucky. Every few days, they would encounter Xuanyuan, the killing god, rushing into the back mountain to hunt monsters, as if he didn't feel the danger at all, and was not afraid of the monsters' ferocity.

And rushing into the back mountain to hunt monsters frequently was not the most excessive. The most excessive thing was that when Xuanyuan cultivated to the peak of the initial foundation-building stage, in order to seek an opportunity to break through to the middle foundation-building stage, Xuanyuan directly brought enough fasting pills and lived in the back mountain of Jianzong, pretending to stay here forever, and he didn't plan to leave the back mountain for a while.

That time, Xuan Yuan stayed in the back mountain of Jianzong for a whole year, and he couldn't even count the number of monsters he hunted that year. When he entered the back mountain of Jianzong, he brought several storage bags with him. When he successfully advanced to the middle stage of foundation building and temporarily left the back mountain, his storage bags were full of monster pills and useful refining materials.

These things filled Xuan Yuan's storage bag so much that it couldn't fit them all. In the end, many of the ones with slightly lower quality were directly abandoned by Xuan Yuan, and he was too lazy to bring them back from the back mountain of Jianzong. Just from this point, we can know how many monsters Xuan Yuan killed and how many sins he committed in the year when he was looking for a breakthrough opportunity in the back mountain of Jianzong.

So, compared to the monsters, Xuan Yuan is indeed more vicious...

After all, he was the man who single-handedly killed the number of monsters in the hunting ground in the back mountain of Jianzong, which was specially opened for his disciples to train, and reduced the number of monsters to no monsters left to kill. During the years when Xuanyuan was active in the back mountain of Jianzong, if the monsters were not very fertile, and if the elders of Jianzong had not been constantly transporting new monsters to the back mountain, it is possible that Xuanyuan would have killed all the monsters.

In this way, stepping on the blood of the monsters in the back mountain of Jianzong, Xuanyuan spent his happiest (?), most fulfilling and simplest period of cultivation in Jianzong. It must be said that during the years when he killed monsters every day and survived on monster meat and wild spiritual fruits growing in the back mountain, Xuanyuan's cultivation level really increased rapidly. After all, monster meat contains abundant spiritual power, which greatly reduces the time Xuanyuan spends on cultivation.

In this way, relying on his own hard practice and the constant battles and tempering between life and death, Xuanyuan successfully cultivated to the late stage of foundation building in just over ten years. His cultivation speed really made many elders of Jianzong look at him sideways, and they secretly sighed that he was a good disciple and a good sword cultivator, and that Master Yunjun really accepted a good disciple.

Being able to cultivate so fast is the cultivation speed that should be shown by breaking through the three spiritual roots. Everyone in the Sword Sect understands that Xuan Yuan has such progress and strength, not because he worships someone as his master, but purely because of his own will and persistence. This situation is all due to his own hard work.

After advancing to the late stage of foundation building, unlike other magic cultivators and weapon cultivators who rely on pills or continue to practice step by step to break through the bottleneck, Xuan Yuan chose a breakthrough method that is very consistent with the practice of sword cultivators - Oh, you ask what is the way for sword cultivators to break through the bottleneck? Do you need to ask more? Of course, it is fighting. Walking between life and death in blood and fire is the way for sword cultivators to advance.

So in order to seek an opportunity to break through to the Golden Core Stage, Xuan Yuan, who was at the perfect stage of foundation building at that time, directly confronted the most powerful monster at the back door of the Sword Sect. It was a monster with a real Golden Core Stage cultivation. Without bragging, it is really not much harder to kill a cultivator with a perfect foundation building with one claw than to drink water.

As for why the strongest monster in the back mountain of the Sword Sect is only in the Jindan stage, it is because the back mountain of the Sword Sect is a martial arts field opened up by the Sword Sect for the disciples to practice. In fact, all the monsters in the back mountain have been carefully selected and inspected by the top leaders of the Sword Sect, and they will not allow monsters that are too powerful to stay in the back mountain to attack the disciples.

After a battle with a Jindan stage monster, Xuanyuan killed the Jindan stage monster at the cost of being half-crippled after surviving a near-death experience, and successfully advanced to the Jindan stage.

Then... Xuanyuan, who successfully advanced to the Jindan stage, was driven out by the Sword Sect, under the pretext of: training.
