87 Test- phase Long Tao started his cultivation. As soon as Long Tao soaked himself in the blood pool, the pores of his body began to open and absorb the fluid inside. The first feeling of Long Tao was a warm heat which started to increase as time went by. It started to become unbearable after a period of time. “Start to refine it using the blood tempering art or you will blow up yourself in pieces. The quality of the blood pool is quite good. I would also absorb some of It. It would be good for the growth of the herbs too. This pool can accommodate the blood tempering art of yours for at least until the Qi king realm. You need to take possession of the mansion. Failure is out of question. Start the cultivation this instant.”. Long Tao started chanting the mantra as the blood energy that entered his body started to get devoured and refined by Long Tao.
The blood tempering art continued to rotate and Long Tao was feeling more and more adaptable and comfortable as time went by. The speed of Blood tempering art seemed to have increased due to the quality of Blood energy in the Blood pool. The fifth cycle ended and Long Tao stepped into the sixth. Long Tao closed his eyes in meditation and didn’t worry about the outside world. Long Tao’s body was feeling more and more comfortable with the passing time. He even asked the keeper to help him absorb the blood pool into the crimson lord world. The keeper agreed. The amount of the blood energy within the pool was massive. Long Tao agreed with the keeper when he said that this pool could last Long Tao until the QI king realm, may be even longer. Long Tao wanted to build a similar pool in the crimson lord world. He could use the hunted beasts blood essence to replenish it and grow it. Given he was allowed to stay here for a longer period of time, Long Tao was sure that he would be able to get to peak Qi master realm.
The girl managed to complete the challenge and her limit was a Qi general level 3 warrior with her special bloodline. It was not as exaggerated as Long Tao’s achievement but she still managed to fight with opponent that were two levels higher than her. She was then transported to a similar world that Long Tao was transported to and the voice sounded again.” Congratulations on passing the first test. You can choose a prize between a Qi king level weapon and an earth grade art. Choose fast.”. The girl weighed her choices and chose the earth grade art at the end. She was teleported to another location and in front of her was a stone Steele. A scripture was written on top of it. It was the earth grade art. The girl sat down and began meditating on the scriptures. The stele lit up and words began to flow out and enter the body of the girl. The art was being transmitted to her.
Long Tao was currently at his seventh rotation. The blood energy was really potent. It accelerated the speed of blood tempering art to an unknown level. The seventh cycle ended shortly and the eight one began. Long Tao wanted to make full use of the whole blood pool and cultivate the Blood tempering art to the Qi master peak. His wish as being fulfilled. The cultivation began to increase. The eight-cycle completed and then came the ninth. The crimson Lord artifact managed to absorb quite a good amount of blood energy from the pool. A small reservoir was already visible within the Crimson lord world. Long Tao now possessed multiple reservoirs of energy. One was the diluted Crimson world QI, the other were hell-heaven QI, Thunder Qi and lastly the blood pool. The herbs planted were constantly replenished by these diluted energies, raising their potency to the next level.
The ninth rotation came to an end and Long Tao was just about to begin the final rotation when the voice sounded again. “The time here is completed. Proceed to the next zone.”. A door opened in front of Long Tao’s eyes. He got out of the pool, dressed up and went into the door. He was currently in another domain. There was a mountain in front. “The structure in front of you is the sword mountain created by the disciple and masters of the Heaven Cleaver sect in the past. You will hereby proceed to climb the structure and resonate yourself to one of the swords. The higher you go, the more difficult it becomes. Your point will be defined by the hight you are able to reach and the sword you are able to resonate with. Long Tao proceeded after hearing the commands and briefs about the test. He started climbing to the top. When stepped on the mountain for the first time, he felt a sword energy blasting it self towards him. Long Tao started using his second level sword intent to pit against the incoming energy.
This sword mountain was somewhat similar to the stele grounds of the Star emperor academy. He could use this mountain to temper his intent. Long Tao continued to climb. After some time passed Long Tao finally met a wall. He couldn’t proceed any further. He sat down and began tempering his intent within the mountain. Long Tao couldn’t believe his luck. After the Blood pool, the second test was something so advantageous. Long Tao’s practice began. He used the same procedure he used when he took the entrance test of the Star emperor academy. His will was shattered multiple time and Long Tao was injured continuously, but he still persisted. He could feel every successive manifest of his will was more powerful than the last one. Hence, he continued the process. Finally, he was bale to take a step forward, but the intensity increased again.
Li Wen was facing the same difficulty. She too was restricted in the sword mountain. Every step in here required one to meditate and adjust themselves to. Unlike Long Tao, Li Wen decided to push through with power and manage to beat Long Tao’s current location. She was hoping to get as high as he can. She knew of Long Tao’s talent and was very wary of it. She wanted to take the inheritance for herself and hence would have to force herself to some extent to reach higher than Long Tao currently was. One could describe her movements to be rushed while Long Tao was being steady, He was gradually raising his power. Given the current cultivation of Blood Tempering at, Long Tao could easily bet Li Wen would they have a fight again. The same went for the current situation. He could force his way through. But he decided to be steady.
Long Tao’s intent was growing continuously. He was gradually climbing the mountain. After going through a certain distance, the sword intents started taking shape. The first confrontation that Long ta faced was a illusionary figure. This was the preliminary manifestation of the sword intent. Once a sword user gets to advance level 2 intent, his intent starts to materialise and take shape. Some prodigies are able to so while they are in intermediate level of stage 2 intent. Long Tao was getting there. The materialisation started to get clearer and cleared as Long Tao climbed up. Finally, Long Tao managed to break through intermediate level of sword intent. The biggest advantage that Long Tao held over Li Wen in this case was the lack of any time limit to climb the mountains. Given Long Tao’s talent, this scenario was suitable for him to showcase his strong areas.
Li Wen managed to climb up quite far, but she soon encounters a sword materialisation that was of the shape of a beast. The attacks collided and Li Wen couldn’t hold any further and gave up at that position. She stopped at the level and found as word suitable for her and established contact with it. She hoped that this would eb able to defeat Long Tao. She looked down and saw Long Tao steadily climbing the mountain. At first, she was ignorant with the activity. She was confident that she will be the winner of this trial, but as time passed her confidence began to falter. Long Tao reached her position after a period of time, but he didn’t stop there. He trained his intent and continued to climb. Long Tao’s intent also managed to take shape of an illusionary figure this time and its was beginning to materialise as time passed. As he got further and further, Long Tao’s intent got more and more solid. Finally, he fought with the beast and defeated him, and went to the next height.
.....
Li Wen hoped that his score doesn’t surpass hers by too much, but he was soon out of the visible range. Long Tao was on the verge of advance realm of level 2 intent. His first intent as taking shape. It started to materialise as beast too. Long Tao’s first sword materialisation was based on the swift sword arts, and hence the beats formed was agile. Finally reaching a certain level, the beats formed out fully. Long Tao finally stepped into the advance stage of level 2 sword intent.
