Chapter 581 - 581: Function

Chu Qingyun randomly chose a training room, walked in, and locked the door.

Inside the training room was a stone platform. On the platform was a slot the same size as a Token.

After Chu Qingyun placed his Token into the slot, he saw that the number on it decreased by one hundred and twenty-eight.

The number in the middle of the Token had been "95048." After placing it in the slot, it immediately changed to "94920."

On the seventh floor, aside from the increased consumption of Saint Extreme Points, everything else was used the same way as on the first floor.

After the corresponding Saint Extreme Points were deducted, a peculiar aura soon began to fill the training room.

At first, Chu Qingyun felt this aura was very similar to the pressure he had experienced on the Saint Extreme Road, but upon closer inspection, it wasn't the same.

The pressure on the Saint Extreme Road felt like a heavy weight on one's body.

This aura, however, gave off a very unique sensation. It caused Chu Qingyun's mind to become highly focused involuntarily, and his Spiritual Sense seemed to have sharpened considerably.

Just then, Chu Qingyun suddenly sensed something above the training room, faintly calling to him, making him want to go up.

However, the feeling vanished in a flash.

By the time Chu Qingyun grew accustomed to the unique aura in the training room, the calling sensation had disappeared completely.

'Was it just my imagination...'

Chu Qingyun shook his head and didn't dwell on it.

For now, he was more interested in the so-called cultivation-aiding effects of the Saint Extreme Tower.

The training room was spacious, designed for practicing Secret Manuals within.

Chu Qingyun drew his Thunder Shock Sword, preparing to try practicing the Lightning Sword.

He swung his sword. Failure.

He swung again. Still a failure.

Yet on his third swing, Chu Qingyun succeeded, executing the Lightning Sword once.

This astonished Chu Qingyun. It seemed the success rate of executing the Lightning Sword in this seventh-floor training room was indeed much higher than outside.

However, one success wasn't enough to prove anything.

So, Chu Qingyun continued to practice with his sword.

Swing after swing, as he continuously practiced, Chu Qingyun's success rate for the Lightning Sword gradually stabilized to one success every three attempts.

Moreover, he even had a feeling that with every success, his comprehension of the technique—and even his comprehension of his entire Thunder Sword Intent—would increase tremendously.

Just like that, after two hours of practice, Chu Qingyun had actually stabilized his success rate with the Lightning Sword to one success every two attempts!

Such a rate of progress was simply inconceivable, utterly unimaginable!

Only two hours! Back when he was practicing the Thunder Sword, it had taken Chu Qingyun several full days in the Light Card Illusion Realm to reach this stage!

'So there really is something special about this place...'

Chu Qingyun thought to himself.

Putting everything else aside, just based on this boost to practicing Sword Techniques, the Saint Extreme Tower's reputation was well-deserved.

However, Chu Qingyun felt that the Saint Extreme Tower's supportive effects were likely not limited to this. Otherwise, it wouldn't have received such high praise and acclaim from both the Inner and Outer Sects.

After sheathing his Thunder Shock Sword, Chu Qingyun sat down cross-legged on the floor, preparing to try cultivating the Ten Thousand Spirits Saint Body Inner Chapter.

If he could master this Secret Technique, its power would be absolutely immense.

But its turtle-like cultivation speed truly made Chu Qingyun feel helpless, which was why he had always held expectations for the Saint Extreme Tower.

He hoped that inside the Saint Extreme Tower, he could accelerate his cultivation speed for this Secret Technique.

Calming his heart and concentrating his spirit, Chu Qingyun focused his energy and began to activate the Blood Talisman Core he had already refined, which started to absorb his blood—his so-called Qi and Blood Power.

The Blood Talisman Core activated.

A moment later, Chu Qingyun's expression changed abruptly, but a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

He had just clearly sensed that the Blood Talisman Core was absorbing his blood more than a hundred times faster than it did outside!

To cultivate the Ten Thousand Spirits Saint Body Inner Chapter, Chu Qingyun had a long-accumulated and sufficient supply of Blood Pills to replenish his own lost Qi and Blood Power.

But the greatest difficulty had always been that the Blood Talisman Core absorbed blood far too slowly.

And now, inside the Saint Extreme Tower, this speed had been boosted by over a hundred times, meaning Chu Qingyun's cultivation speed for this Secret Technique had also been increased by over a hundred times!

This finally gave him some hope of cultivating the First Layer before reaching the Martial King Realm.

However, Chu Qingyun then grew a bit puzzled.

The supportive effects of each floor of the Saint Extreme Tower corresponded to the number of Saint Extreme Points consumed. It seemed that besides saving a few days, the higher floors offered no other special advantages.

From this perspective, there didn't seem to be any particular benefit to challenging the Saint Extreme Road or ascending to the higher floors of the Saint Extreme Tower.

After all, not everyone needed to cultivate a time-consuming Secret Technique like the Ten Thousand Spirits Saint Body Inner Chapter.

For most people, there wasn't much difference between spending a few more days or a few less days.

After a moment of thought, a look of sudden realization appeared on Chu Qingyun's face.

There was indeed a point to entering the higher floors of the Saint Extreme Tower.

Because nearly all Inner and Outer Disciples would only enter the Saint Extreme Tower when they encountered a cultivation bottleneck. They would use the mysterious aura here to aid their cultivation in an attempt to break through.

In that case, it was possible that someone could cultivate for many days on a lower floor of the Saint Extreme Tower and still fail to break through their bottleneck.

But on a higher floor, they might break through that same bottleneck in just a few hours, or even a few minutes.

It was like using a stream to break a dam. A gentle, constant flow might never breach the dam, but if you accumulated the water for one powerful surge, you might just break through all at once.

And that was the significance of the higher floors of the Saint Extreme Tower.

To accumulate enough Saint Extreme Points and break through one's cultivation bottleneck in a single go!

This made it very meaningful to pass more trials on the Saint Extreme Road. Otherwise, even if one had enough Saint Extreme Points, they wouldn't be able to enter the higher-level training rooms at all.

'Seems my brain works better inside the Saint Extreme Tower...'

Chu Qingyun chuckled self-deprecatingly, then began to concentrate on cultivating the Ten Thousand Spirits Saint Body Inner Chapter.

He could practice the Lightning Sword in the Illusion Realm. Although the effect might not be as good as the seventh floor of the Saint Extreme Tower, it would still save a considerable amount of time.

But cultivating the Ten Thousand Spirits Saint Body Inner Chapter outside was simply too time-consuming.
