Chen Beixuan: "Exactly! Jiang Li-dage praised your Duoming Fifteen Swords before. Upload it so we can take a look!"
Yan Shisan: "I'm not bragging. I really created it!"
Yan Shisan: "But this Duoming Fifteen Swords is terrifying—nothing but destruction and death."
Yan Shisan: "You don't understand. When I created it just now, I almost got myself killed by that one sword filled with death and annihilation. Even I can't fully control its power."
Yan Shisan: "I've seen another realm of sword dao. Thanks to Monkey Bro. If one day he really fights the immortals and buddhas of his world, I'll probably owe him a karmic favor."
[Group member Yan Shisan has uploaded Duoming Fifteen Swords. Please check it in time!]
After rambling for a bit, Yan Shisan finally uploaded the sword technique.
His lingering fear toward Duoming Fifteen Swords could be felt by everyone.
Yan Shisan: "The Duoming Fifteen Swords is too wicked. I suggest that even if you exchange for it, don't use it lightly!"
Yan Shisan: "When I comprehended it earlier, I felt like the gates of hell were opening!"
Yaoyue: "You're talking way too mystically. You created this sword style yourself and nearly killed yourself with it?"
Zixia Junzijian: "Bragging much? Hell's gates opening?"
Wudang's Hundred-Year Old Daoist: "Have you all forgotten about the Sword Sage Dugu's Sword Twenty-Three? When that sword is unleashed, it seals time and space. The potential of martial arts is no weaker than cultivation!"
Yaoyue: "Yes, I suspect Yan Shisan's heart-spirit manifestation happened. Things that seem impossible to you are not strange at all to that kind of unfathomable power."
Wang Chao: "You can doubt Yan Shisan, but you cannot doubt Jiang Li-dage's eyesight."
Yaoyue: "Stop pestering him. Just go look—his Duoming Fifteen Swords is evaluated by the chat group at 400,000 points. Martial Saint-level technique!"
Zixia Junzijian: "Holy shit… was the clown me?"
Peach Blossom Island Little Chef: "Terrifying. Even Sword Twenty-Three is only 500,000 points. Doesn't that mean Duoming Fifteen Swords is only slightly weaker than it?"
Zixia Junzijian: "Yan Shisan-dage I was wrong! I shouldn't have doubted you!"
Chen Beixuan: "Interesting. No wonder Yan Shisan was acting so pretentious when he joined the group—he actually has the qualifications."
Chen Beixuan: "A sword technique that originally cost just over a hundred points suddenly becoming a fearsome technique worth 400,000 points… He does have some real skill."
Zombie Daoist: "Yan Shisan is actually a Dugu Qiubai-type figure. We really judged him with dog eyes!"
Swallowing Lord @Yan Shisan: "I'll trade you my Sacred Spirit Sword Art for your Duoming Thirteen Swords. Would you like to?"
The appearance of Duoming Fifteen Swords also made Jiang Li restless.
Trading a Sacred Spirit Sword Art evolved to Sword Twenty-Three for a Duoming Thirteen Swords evolved to Fifteen Swords—he was very willing.
Yan Shisan @Swallowing Lord: "More than willing! Thank you, Jiang Li-dage, for your generosity!"
Of course Yan Shisan agreed.
He'd checked the point mall before and knew what the Sacred Spirit Sword Art meant.
Originally, he thought he'd never be able to cultivate it.
Because he needed points to buy cultivation techniques.
Jiang Li's offer completed his wish perfectly.
The trade was completed quickly, and the evolved Duoming Fifteen Swords appeared in Jiang Li's mind.
Duoming Fifteen Swords indeed involved the power of heart-spirit manifestation.
Like Sword Twenty-Three, it also created a sword domain.
But the difference was—
Sword Twenty-Three's domain sealed all things, froze everything, and only the caster could move inside it.
The domain of Duoming Fifteen Swords was one of pure death and destruction.
Inside that domain, all things would be annihilated—including the caster.
It was a technique that did not distinguish between friend and foe.
Well—not completely.
It was simply that this move forcibly manifested heart-spirit power, consuming far too much.
Just like Sword Twenty-Three, using it forcibly meant the caster would die.
Swallowing Lord @Yan Shisan: "This Duoming Fifteen Swords annihilates everything. If your cultivation isn't at least Jindan level, don't use it!"
Swallowing Lord: "If you force it now, you'll die with it!"
Yan Shisan: "Don't worry, Jiang Li-dage. I'm not looking to die. I've glimpsed another realm of sword dao—I'm not willing to perish."
Yan Shisan: "Besides, in my world, no one is qualified to make me unleash the Fifteenth Sword."
Wang Chao: "Heart-spirit manifestation… Yan Shisan is taking off. Pity that I'm only at Martial Arts—Seeing God Not Bad. Who knows when I'll reach heart-spirit manifestation!"
Wudang's Hundred-Year Old Daoist: "What the—Wang Chao, you brat have already reached Seeing God Not Bad?!"
Long Bo: "Wang Chao is terrifying in his own right. His martial heart is too pure. Even with all these cultivation and immortal techniques in the chat group, he's unmoved and sticks to martial arts!"
Yaoyue: "Wang Chao really is rare. Hard to believe he can resist temptation just to reach heart-spirit manifestation."
Zixia Junzijian: "Stop, stop! I'm the weakest one in the group!"
Zombie Daoist: "…"
...
"Next step—cultivation!"
"Let's break through to Stellar-level first!"
Jiang Li's mind stirred, and the surrounding void rippled and twisted.
The next moment, he converted all eight hundred million points into spirit stones.
Piles of spirit stones poured out of the chat group like a mountain-flood.
"Zulong, devour!"
In an instant, an immense flood of energy surged into Jiang Li's body.
Rumble—
Jiang Li rapidly refined the energy. For a moment, roaring booms echoed within him.
Then his cultivation surged upward at frightening speed!
Planetary Level, Ninth-stage peak!
Stellar Level, First Stage!
Stellar Level, Second Stage!
Stellar Level, Third Stage!
In an instant, Jiang Li not only broke through to the Stellar level, but even reached the Third Stage.
"Finally… Stellar level."
A smile tugged at Jiang Li's lips.
And then he noticed—there was a new strand of memory in his mind.
"Wait?!"
"Why does it feel like… I suddenly gained a set of inherited memories?"
Jiang Li's pupils shrank. He never thought that breaking through to Stellar would actually gift him a piece of dragon-clan inheritance!
"No… it's not inheritance memory."
He examined it carefully and realized—it was a dragon-clan innate secret art.
"Supreme Golden Dragon Body?!"
"Five-Claw Shatter Heaven and Earth?!"
Jiang Li's eyes brightened.
He hadn't expected that even though he wasn't a true Zulong, he still developed innate secret techniques.
It was unbelievable.
Supreme Golden Dragon Body had five transformations.
Each transformation greatly increased physical attributes. Fully cultivated at Fifth Stage, it could even withstand divine tribulation.
But…
He had no idea just how strong a divine tribulation was.
Five-Claw Shatter Heaven and Earth was easier to understand.
"Five-Claw Shatter Heaven and Earth gathers all strength into one point. At minor mastery, it can unleash thirty-six times normal attack power. At major mastery, the condensed force reaches its peak—seventy-two times!"
The degree of power condensation determined the explosion of might.
One ton of force delivered by a fist was far weaker than the same force delivered through a blade or spear.
Why?
Because blades and spears were sharper and more focused.
Five-Claw Shatter Heaven and Earth was the ultimate form of piercing and condensing power.
Jiang Li was delighted.
He had gained two more trump cards.
"I'll study them slowly later. For now, I should deal with that little guy first."
Jiang Li walked out of the second-floor cultivation chamber.
"Hm? Ling Ling is still in the virtual space?"
Seeing Ling Ling wearing the helmet, Jiang Li hesitated a bit but chose not to disturb her.
Instead, he entered his storage space with his consciousness.
"Babata!"
"What? What?! Can't you see I'm working day and night here?!"
"???"
Babata's virtual form appeared in Jiang Li's sea of consciousness. At first he looked annoyed—but then his scarlet eyes widened.
"Jiang Li… what did you eat this time?!"
