Chapter 1075: A Small Test of Skill

【Seven Ultimate Sword Technique (Mastery): 1/200,000】

Gazing at the data displayed on the Cultivation Panel, Wang Chen felt a wave of emotion.

The Seven Ultimate Sword Technique was undoubtedly the most intricate and challenging skill he had ever practiced. Achieving mastery required a staggering one hundred thousand experience points, which was nothing short of overwhelming.

To put it into perspective, the other Golden Core spells Wang Chen had mastered only required experience points in the thousands.

The sudden leap to a hundred thousand was enough to drive anyone to madness!

However, Wang Chen understood that the high demands of this sword technique were justified. Upon entry, it reached the fourth level, and mastering seven swords simultaneously was no small feat.

Under normal circumstances, it would take Wang Chen at least one or two years to reach the realm of mastery.

To expedite his progress in this formidable sword technique, he invested as many Virtue points as possible to exchange for experience points, ensuring he could maintain control. This strategy allowed him to achieve a breakthrough in just a few months.

Even so, Wang Chen estimated it would take him at least ten years to cultivate the Seven Ultimate Sword Technique to perfect mastery.

Of course, this estimate was based on his current status as a Golden Core true master. Once he advanced to the Yuan Ying stage, the situation might change, potentially shortening the time required.

Nevertheless, Wang Chen now possessed a technique capable of countering Nascent Soul true immortals, granting him a greater sense of security in the fiercely competitive Haotian Realm.

With a wave of his hand, the seven flying swords in the air instantly reassembled into the Large Sword, which then flew back into the sword box strapped to his back.

This was because the Seven Ultimate Great Sword was designed to be stored in the sword box, which was not suitable for a storage magic tool.

It wasn’t that it couldn’t be stored, but in the event of an enemy ambush or surprise attack, activating the sword box to release the sword was the fastest option. Drawing the sword in close combat was also quicker than retrieving it from the Xumi Ring.

Even a fraction of a second could mean the difference between victory and defeat, or even life and death!

Thus, while it was safe to store the sword box in the Xumi Ring within the immortal city, it was best to carry it when venturing out for training.

In the next moment, Wang Chen formed a sword gesture, unleashing a surge of sword energy that enveloped his body as he soared toward Luodu Immortal City.

Over the past few months, he had only returned home twice.

Now that he had made significant progress in the Seven Ultimate Sword Technique, it was time to focus on advancing to the ninety percent threshold of Golden Core, preparing for the ultimate goal of breaking the Golden Core and condensing the Yuan Ying.

Many talented Golden Core true masters began gathering resources for Yuan Ying condensation as they advanced to higher levels.

These resources included secluded cave abodes, spirit stones, elixirs, and various heavenly materials and treasures.

All of these could increase the success rate of Yuan Ying condensation, and their value was naturally exorbitant. Without the support of a large clan or powerful organizations, it was nearly impossible for an individual to gather them all.

This was also why many higher-level Golden Core loose cultivators turned to banditry.

Without amassing a fortune, how could one hope to condense the Yuan Ying?

But Wang Chen did not need to take this path.

He possessed the highest quality resource for Yuan Ying condensation—a small world.

As long as he could gather some resources from Cangqing to offer to the world consciousness of the Haotian Realm, advancing to Yuan Ying would be a certainty!

Riding the wind, Wang Chen slowed his speed, enjoying the scenery as he flew on his sword.

Although the route he was taking was within the Fulong Mountain area, it was along the outer edges, making it relatively safe and allowing him to fly freely.

If he were deeper in the Fulong Mountain Range, leisurely sword flight would be out of the question. Even riding a fast flying ship could attract the attention of displeased beast kings or beast lords.

What Wang Chen never expected was that the safety he thought he had was not absolute.

Suddenly, several streaks of light appeared to his right. One was racing ahead, while three others were closely chasing behind, their distance alarmingly close.

Initially, this had nothing to do with Wang Chen; he had no reason to meddle in someone else’s affairs.

However, the streak of light being chased suddenly changed direction and flew towards Wang Chen, shouting, “Fellow Traveler Zhang, save me!”

The speaker was a middle-aged cultivator, looking quite disheveled. He flew on a flying shuttle treasure, his hairstyle messy and his clothes tattered, clearly having just been through a fierce battle.

Fellow Traveler Zhang?

Wang Chen was taken aback.

He didn’t recognize the person and had no idea who this Fellow Traveler Zhang was.

But Wang Chen quickly realized that this Golden Core true master was clearly trying to divert danger to himself! He was trying to pull Wang Chen into the fray as a scapegoat!

“Let’s kill them together!”

Within a few breaths, the three Golden Core true masters caught up, and the leading cultivator shouted angrily, flicking his wrist to unleash glimmers of cold light.

The other two Golden Cores also attacked, casting spells to surround Wang Chen and the middle-aged cultivator.

Yet the middle-aged cultivator remained calm, chuckling as he formed a spell gesture, a gentle light flashing around him.

He mastered a powerful escape technique, but the enemies were too close on his tail for him to use it freely. With Wang Chen as a scapegoat, his chances of escaping dramatically increased.

However, the next moment, the middle-aged cultivator’s smile froze on his face.

As he activated the escape technique, Wang Chen unleashed the Seven Ultimate Sword!

Seven flying swords shot out simultaneously, forming a sword formation in an instant, encircling Wang Chen, the middle-aged cultivator, and their pursuers within it.

The destructive power of the sword formation awakened!

If the middle-aged cultivator had acted even a fraction of a second faster, he might have escaped, but the Seven Ultimate Sword Formation harnessed the elemental energy of heaven and earth. Once unleashed, it automatically sealed the space around them, a natural nemesis to any escape technique.

Therefore, the middle-aged cultivator’s spell failed; he barely moved ten steps before getting stuck in mid-air, looking quite ridiculous.

The treasures and spells that had been aimed at Wang Chen crashed against an invisible wall, rebounding ineffectively.

Upon seeing this, the leading pursuer’s expression changed drastically, and he immediately began to retreat.

“It’s a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!”

Just moments before, he had been fiercely determined to eliminate Wang Chen, but now he showed a humble and weak demeanor.

Wang Chen’s strength far exceeded his expectations!

Yet Wang Chen preferred the man’s earlier arrogant demeanor; after all, between men, there were only fortunes and no misunderstandings. He calmly formed a spell gesture and abruptly activated the Seven Ultimate Sword Formation.

The seven flying swords sparkled with dazzling light, carrying the powers of heaven, earth, humanity, wind, thunder, fire, and rain, weaving a dense net in the air.

Caught within this large net were four Golden Core true masters!

This was Wang Chen’s first time applying the Seven Ultimate Sword Formation in actual combat, and it was also the first time the seven exceptional Treasure Flying Swords revealed their true edges.

Amidst a chorus of gasps, screams, cries, and pleas for mercy, the enemies trapped within were consumed by increasingly fierce sword energy, and soon, there was no more sound from them.

After a moment, a rain of blood began to fall steadily!
