Nine Yang Alchemy Emperor
Chapter 139 Awakening to the Sword

Chapter 139: Chapter 139 Awakening to the Sword

In the secret chamber, Chu Feng gritted his teeth, incessantly refining and absorbing the energy of the Elixir. The Fire Sword Qi within his Fake Sword Vein steadily climbed as well.

Roughly every half quarter-hour, an additional strand of Fire Sword Qi, thin as a hair, would form.

As more Fire Sword Qi accumulated, he gradually felt waves of swelling pain. The surface of his Fake Sword Vein even began to show dark red lines.

They looked very much like the stretch marks on a pregnant woman.

It seemed as if at any moment, the Fake Sword Vein might burst open. Ascending to the realm of Sword Master was a gradual process.

One cannot rush it; otherwise, it’s extremely easy for danger to occur.

Let alone a Beginner Level Sword Master, even after successfully reaching the Sword Master Realm, with the sword meridians somewhat stabilized, one must still be very cautious. Sword Qi is extremely fierce and sharp.

It is just like a double-edged sword, capable of injuring both foe and oneself.

"Alas, it’s a pity I don’t have true sword meridians. Otherwise, I could take some Elixirs that strengthen the sword meridians and greatly enhance their strength. Ascending to the Sword Master Realm would then be much easier."

Chu Feng sighed.

Fake Sword Veins are far inferior to true sword meridians. To put it plainly, they are just a man-made sword meridian.

Since the Nine Yang Sword Veins were taken from Chu Feng, even having the most ordinary sword meridian has become a luxury for him.

This made him all the more eager to reclaim his Nine Yang Sword Veins.

After cultivating for about three more two-hour periods, Chu Feng felt the sword meridians swell and ache even more. The dark red lines seemed larger and thinner.

Like an inflated balloon that would burst if blown further.

He exhaled a turbid breath slowly and stopped his cultivation. Standing up, he began to practice the Glazed Sword Technique he had comprehended. At present, he had only grasped the Second Level of the Glazed Sword Technique.

The further he went, the more difficult and complex it became to comprehend the Sword Technique.

Just like a mathematical equation, the addition of an X results in many unknowns, increasing the difficulty of finding a solution.

The Sword Technique is a crucial part of the Sword Dao Heart Method.

To a Sword Cultivator, it is something that can be of lifetime benefit. Moreover, it is said that to attain higher-level Sword Dao Divine Powers in the future, one must base their practice on the Sword Technique.

Chu Feng, holding a three-foot-long sword, constantly waved, chopped, and thrust. His mind and spirit immersed in the world of the Glazed Sword Technique, gradually approaching a state of perfection.

If outsiders were present at that moment, they would be amazed to find that Chu Feng resembled a Buddha’s phantom image, with layers of sword shadows covering his figure. Impenetrable to wind and rain, the sword shadows were round and flawless.

As his Sword Dao Cultivation increased, the speed and power of his swings significantly improved.

Executing some complex movements of the Sword Technique thus became much easier and appeared more natural.

"The Glazed Sword Technique, I have already comprehended two layers, reaching a state impervious to wind and rain, seamless and perfect. I have also touched upon the mental method of the Third Level of the Sword Technique, only a hair’s breadth away from a breakthrough."

Chu Feng’s sword dance quickened, and the heavy sword shadows began to converge.

To be as firm and cohesive as the Glazed Jade.

They were like overlapping sword walls, daunting, like an impregnable iron fortress.

Shua shua shua!

The cold sword light interweaved, with the sword walls beginning to connect perfectly like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle.

Chu Feng’s eyes grew brighter and brighter.

He knew that he was on the verge of a breakthrough. He had already understood the true essence of the Third Level of the Glazed Sword Technique.

As the first light of dawn brightens the sky and the white belly of the fish appears, followed by the rising sun.

Chu Feng’s swordsmanship finally made a breakthrough, all sword walls linking together to form an impenetrable sword curtain, as solid and tight as glazed treasured jade.

"Haha, good, this is excellent!"

"I have comprehended the third level of the Glazed Sword Technique, reaching the pinnacle of the sword’s form. I believe that with my current cultivation, using this sword technique, dealing with ordinary Beginner Level Sword Master experts should be no problem. I might even challenge the weaker Middle Stage Sword Master experts."

Chu Feng was filled with confidence in his swordsmanship.

Although he had previously killed enemies of the Sword Master level, it was necessary then to rely on tools like Abnormal Fire and Talismanic Elixirs.

Now, having comprehended the Glazed Sword Technique, he no longer needs to depend on any external objects.

Merely by relying on the sword technique and his Ninth Rank Swordsman cultivation, he can defeat experts at the Beginner Level Sword Master.

You must know, between a Sword Master and a Ninth Rank Swordsman, there seems to only be one level’s difference. But this one level, it’s as vast as the difference between heaven and earth. It’s a huge gap across a great realm, truly staggering.

It can be said that even ten Ninth Rank Swordsmen together might not be able to defeat a single expert at the Beginner Level Sword Master.

This is absolutely no exaggeration.

What a Swordsman can rely on is only their body’s speed and strength. Meanwhile, a Sword Master can directly unleash terrifying Sword Qi to slay their enemies.

Don’t look at Chu Feng as if he is invincible, even able to withstand a full-strength blow from a Great Sword Master.

That’s because he had taken a Golden Rune Protecting Body Elixir; without the body protection elixir, let alone a full-strength strike from a Great Sword Master, even a casual strike from a Sword Master would kill him.

After taking a bath and changing into the Alchemy Academy’s clothes, Chu Feng prepared to go to the academy for classes.

Given his current rate of cultivation, his days at the Alchemy Academy shouldn’t be much longer.

Chu Feng set a goal for himself: to strive for a breakthrough to the Sword Master realm before the Ten Thousand Sword Sect’s trial, and to participate in the trial together with his second sister.

If both manage to enter the Ten Thousand Sword Sect, the Royal Family would find it difficult to easily eliminate Chu Feng and Chu Yun.

As for Chu Jianlan, with the secret help of Chu Feng, she too can be safe.

Recently, Chu Feng’s senior brother has risen through the ranks impressively. It’s said that he has gained the appreciation and reuse by Minister Wu of the Ministry of War.

Chu Feng had a vague feeling that things were not as simple as they seemed.

Ever since Minister Wu moved his ancestors’ graves, he appeared extremely active.

And given Chu Jianlan’s special identity, being highly feared by the Jianyun Emperor, other officials would avoid her rather than court her. However, Minister Wu not only heavily utilized Chu Jianlan but also promoted her repeatedly.

Could he not fear the Emperor’s displeasure?

Of course, Minister Wu, in reusing Chu Jianlan, has also reaped significant benefits.

Because Prince Jian has great influence in the military, both Chu Jianlan and Chu Feng are regarded as young masters in the hearts of Prince Jian’s old subordinates.

This move by Minister Wu has won over many hearts.

It has made many military leaders, particularly those brave and unruly generals, have a good impression and a sense of closeness to him. You can see the efficiency with which his recent military orders have been implemented—it’s surprisingly high.

It even solved some of the long-standing issues of the frontier garrison that even the Royal Family couldn’t resolve.

This act has made Minister Wu quite praised before the Jianyun Emperor and on the court floor, and his position as the top authority in the Ministry of War has become even more secure.

After all, Chu Feng, who has lived for thousands of years, is old and cunning. He keenly sensed that Minister Wu’s enthusiasm for Chu Jianlan was a bit too excessive. There was something odd about it, very abnormal.

"I must have Bloody Beard investigate Minister Wu’s intentions, to find out what’s really going on in his gourd! My senior brother and second sister are the only relatives I have left in this world, and I will not allow anyone to harm them, nor will I let them fall."
