Chapter 684 - 673: Zhang Sanfeng

And the enhancement of Sword Intent causes the Sword Spirit to become stronger as well.

The speed of absorbing and refining the Domain Crystal also becomes faster.

The more Domain Crystals are refined, the stronger the Sword Spirit becomes, which in turn nourishes Ding Ling, the true self.

This is a positive cycle!

Within this cycle.

Ding Ling is rapidly growing stronger at an extremely terrifying and fearsome speed!

[Agility: 126.9]

Many Sword Skills do not provide Attribute Points, but even so, agility has increased by more than ten points, shooting up to 126.9.

Hoo hoo!

Ding Ling channels all Sword Intent into the Supreme Sword Dao!

Causing the Supreme Sword Intent to transform and elevate continuously upon absorbing these Sword Intents!

Hundreds of different Sword Intents!

The Supreme Sword Intent, having absorbed so many Sword Intents, once again experienced a subtle change mysteriously, becoming increasingly sharp and versatile!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Another wave of Residual Spirits arrives.

Ding Ling unleashes the Heartless Dao within the Supreme Sword Dao mercilessly to eradicate them!

He felt a bit fortunate to have learned such a Spiritual Killing Technique; otherwise, faced with such Sword Spirits, he would be at a loss.

[Silver Ring Swordmanship Full Level]

[Luan Cang Swordmanship Full Level]

[Agility +0.4]

[Moluo Swordmanship Full Level]

[Ruyi Swordmanship Full Level]

...

This time, thousands of Residual Spirits and Residual Thoughts were eradicated.

He obtained more than two thousand Sword Skills.

Among them was the Luan Cang Sword Skill, a Grandmaster Peak Level skill!

There were also Innate Level Sword Skills like the Moluo Swordmanship.

Yet, the vast majority were First-class, Innate Level Sword Skills that couldn’t provide Attribute Points.

But from the thousands.

Still, there were quite a number of Grandmaster Level and above Sword Skills.

[Agility +8.2]

[Agility: 135.1]

The rapid increase in agility is remarkable.

Ding Ling senses it.

Now, even without using any True Qi, Breathing Technique, Lightweight Skill, etc., he can become a person who chases the wind solely with pure agility!

"Is there finally none left?"

Perhaps they were all wiped out?

Or perhaps these Residual Spirits finally felt fear instinctively, knowing that their self-sacrifice behaviors were all leading to death and thus recoiled?

It’s hard to know the truth.

But Ding Ling truly did not see any Residual Spirits again.

He could no longer sense them.

Ding Ling stood by his own Sword Spirit and did not venture far.

Now is the crucial moment of the Sword Spirit refining the Domain Crystal, naturally, he couldn’t covet for these Sword Skills and leave the Sword Spirit.

"Three-fourths refined."

Ding Ling carefully senses.

’The remaining one-fourth is particularly difficult to refine, it should take about a day and a night.’

Ding Ling patiently waits.

He carefully senses the progress of the Martial Arts Melting Furnace Body: 100%

Previously, it was 95%.

It’s unknown when the furnace body’s progress reached a pinnacle, condensed as if tangible like the furnace’s lid.

Thinking.

During this time he learned the Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Root, Iron Refining Hand, Five Thunders Transcendent Hand, Sword Thought Spirit Tempering Technique, Qiankun Qi Sword, Snow Blood Claw Internal and External Skills, Breaking Snow and Opening the Heavens, Vast Righteous Qi Zither Sound, etc., all without exception high-tier secret skills.

And now, within the Sword Realm, he obtained thousands of Sword Skills of various types.

Among them were Shattering Level skills!

And all these turned into nourishment for the Martial Arts Melting Furnace to elevate and manifest!

Making the furnace body condensed as if tangible.

Originally, the Martial Arts Melting Furnace’s three legs also began to manifest towards tangibility.

Current progress is: 5%.

"The entire Martial Arts Melting Furnace is composed of a lid, furnace body, and three legs. Now, both the lid and furnace body have already become tangible, incredibly powerful, if the three legs also successfully condense, then I can fuse all Martial Arts into one."

Ding Ling takes a deep breath.

He knows too many Martial Arts.

The path of Martial Dao is long and arduous.

If he can refine the essence from these Martial Arts and condense into a Secret Manual, it can be imagined how strong this manual would be.

Ding Ling looks at the Character Panel.

As he defeats Jian Yue and other Sword Spirits again.

Task 1 progress leaps forward considerably once more.

Task 2 progress remains at zero.

Evidently, the strongest of the Wind and Cloud Plane has not yet been defeated by him.

"Who exactly is this strongest?"

Ding Ling is puzzled.

But he doesn’t dwell on it, there will always be a way when the time comes.

His immediate priority is to grow stronger in the Sword Realm, allowing the Sword Spirit to transform and elevate to the level of Jian Yue!

Half a day later.

The refining progress of the Domain Crystal reaches 90%.

Besides Ding Ling, there is still not another person in his location.

The mountains, waters, Phoenix Pavilion Dragon Pavilion, flowers, trees, etc., are also fake!

Giving Ding Ling a very empty and lonely feeling.

Especially as the Sword Spirit becomes more in tune with this territory, Ding Ling’s perception and awareness become increasingly heightened.

Through the eyes of the Sword Spirit.

One look.

Where are the mountains and waters? Clearly, all are surging, vast Sword Intent, Sword Thought, spiritual and other invisible, unseeable material raging fiercely! Flowing towards the Ten Directions Realm!

This feeling is very strange.

Looking with human eyes, the mountains and waters seem distinct, magnificent.

Looking with the eyes of the Sword Spirit, there is no mountain, only endless Sword Thought, Sword Intent, swordsman’s spirit, etc.

And within these Sword Intent and spirit, are inscribed various Techniques and Laws!

These are the imprints left after the swordsman’s spirit has fallen, absorbed by the Sword Realm, leaving only imprints, while the true Techniques and Laws have been fully absorbed by the Sword Realm.

"Sword Realm."

Ding Ling raises an eyebrow.

He remembers after the Sword Saint died, the Sword Qi Space he condensed, that is, the Sword Heart Hell, was swallowed by the Sword Realm, acquiring all its creation.

"Thus it’s evident, this Sword Realm is also growing stronger mysteriously!"

’Especially as the Ascenders continuously fall, it’s fearful that these swordsmen among the Ascenders may unknowingly fall into this realm.’

Ding Ling ponders.

"Could this Sword Realm be alive?!"

He feels a chill.

And shakes his head:

"Probably not. If it were alive, falling into its mouth, wouldn’t I be doomed?"

Ding Ling silently waits.

And then a few hours later.

When the refining progress of the Domain Crystal reaches 97%.

A person walks over from Ding Ling’s left side.

He has a head full of white hair, dressed in a robe, strolling casually, resembling an Immortal taking a walk, exuding the ambiance of the Immortal Family.

Approaching closer.

Ding Ling sees more clearly, this person has an extraordinary visage, filled with Righteous Qi, a kindly face, eyes deep like holding stars and sea, embodying the demeanor of Immortal grace, leaving a memorable impression.

"I am Zhang Sanfeng, greetings young hero."

"Zhang Sanfeng?!"

Ding Ling is surprised, turning sideways:

"Are you truly Zhang Sanfeng?"

Zhang Sanfeng, who in the world doesn’t know?

His renowned name is like thunder reverberating in Ding Ling’s ears.

Yet always having no chance to meet.

Todays meeting.

Ding Ling is quite moved, not for any other reason, just because he has heard of this name since childhood. Seeing for the first time, his emotions inevitably fluctuate.
