This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable

Chapter 538: Chapter 41: Then I Must Win Over Him

Raising the level of Heaven Suppressing to this point indeed doubled its power, but it also brought notable drawbacks.

As a Secret Sword with an enormous burden, the increase in Heaven Suppressing’s power meant the load I had to bear surged drastically as well.

Currently, I am not able to wield the sword technique at fifteen times its power as freely as before.

In other words, Heaven Suppressing had transformed from a well-known minor ultimate that could be used at will into a major ultimate reserved for crucial moments.

But in that moment of use, it was sure to catch the opponent off guard—declaring the fifteen-fold increase in power of Heaven Suppressing a new Secret Sword would not be too far-fetched compared to its original quintuple power.

Once everything was settled, Lu Qingshan opened his eyes, feeling that everything was different.

In my perception, the fluctuations and undulations of the surrounding Spiritual Power became clear and discernible.

This sensation was quite extraordinary.

Undoubtedly, after my Primordial Spirit entered the Control Realm, my perception of all things in the world had greatly advanced.

It is known that even among Void Refining Cultivators, those who have cultivated their Primordial Spirit to the Control Realm are extremely rare.

If Luo Yi’s Primordial Spirit Realm is still lingering in the Solidifying Form stage, with just my Primordial Spirit alone, I’m confident that I could give him a significant disadvantage when the time comes.

The Western Rat King was looking at me eagerly from the side.

The little rat demon never had the ambition to be equal to Lu Qingshan.

It was well aware of its own limitations—its mere ten-plus catties compared to the hundred or so catties of Lu Qingshan, naturally differed as much as the clouds are from the mud, it’s totally normal.

But the Western Rat King vividly remembered the first time it met Lu Qingshan, even though it was also firmly under control, at least it could see Lu Qingshan’s limits.

Looking at Lu Qingshan now was like staring into a fog, completely unfathomable.

The speed of this Cultivation… damn it… it really makes one… makes a rat despair.

“There is no destiny, only striving!” the little rat demon encouraged itself in its heart, “As long as Rat Lord works hard in Cultivation, there will be a day when I can turn the tables and sing the songs of freedom!”

Yet outwardly, the Western Rat King immediately revealed a sycophantic smile to Lu Qingshan, stating in an oratorical tone with varying inflections, “The shining pearl of the Sword Sect, a pillar amongst the currents, ah! Lu Qingshan, congratulations on your significant progress in Cultivation!”

Without ability, avoid making reckless comments; overestimating oneself is the most terrifying.

The Western Rat King, who considers itself well-read in the “Four Books and Five Classics,” has many tricks up its sleeve; able to flatter and yield, it knows its place very well and promptly flatters as respect.

Why did my revered mistress, that eminent and imposing woman, take a second glance at me and reward me a Pill?

Isn’t it just because the Rat Lord has a sweet mouth!

Lu Qingshan looked at the Western Rat King with a smile that was not quite a smile.

In fact, he couldn’t figure out how the little rat demon, while earnestly learning Human Race culture, ended up on a crooked path, drifting farther from the spiritual mouse direction.

But no matter, whether it’s a European mouse, a sycophantic mouse, or a spiritual little mouse, in the end, all had to be firmly managed by me.

Lu Qingshan calmed his emotions slightly and glanced at his panel again.

In the Experience Points column, the previously massive ten million points dwindled to two million after he raised his Cultivation to the Nascent Soul Late Stage and invested in the Heaven Suppressing Secret Sword.

After some thought, Lu Qingshan decided to sit cross-legged once more, taking out the Spirit Crystals given by Xia Daoyun from his Storage Ring and started to absorb and refine the pure Spiritual Power inside, circulating his Cultivation Technique.

Two hundred Spirit Crystals were equivalent to ten million Experience Points.

Lu Qingshan converted this astonishingly large sum of assets directly into Experience Points in one go.

The accumulated Experience Points once again reached twelve million.

Once everything was done, just a month and a half had passed.

Lu Qingshan left the bamboo house and, after some thought, flew away from Sword Coming Peak on his sword, heading straight for Stabilizing Heart Peak.

…

When Lu Qingshan saw Kong Shan Daoist, it was clear that this Peak Master of Stabilizing Heart Peak was still looking worried.

The root of this matter was a certain quarrel someone from the Great Xia had with my master.

Since I’d have to head to the Central Heavenly Realm in some days to settle this matter, I wanted to understand the intricacies beforehand.

Knowing Lu Qingshan’s intention, Kong Shan Daoist hesitated for a long time before slowly speaking, “This matter involves the origin of the Sword Coming Peak Master, which I should not be spreading privately.

But since you asked, and you are Xia Daoyun’s Chief Disciple, and although this is rarely mentioned, it is by no means a disgraceful secret, so I’ll make an exception and reveal a bit to you.

After all, as a disciple, understanding a bit about the master’s origin is only fitting.”

Lu Qingshan’s mind sharpened.

From the few words of Kong Shan Daoist, he understood that Xia Daoyun’s background might be even more noble than he had imagined.

He promptly adopted an attentive listening posture.

“Do you know who the ruler of Great Xia is today?” Kong Shan Daoist asked.

Lu Qingshan frowned slightly but eventually spoke out a name, “Xia Zhao.”

“Precisely. As a woman, Xia Zhao becoming the Supreme is indeed a novel precedent.

You should know that throughout history, there has never been a top-level power of the Human Race ruled by a woman,” Kong Shan Daoist nodded, somewhat emotional, then asked again, “Do you know why the Great Xia is now ruled by a woman?”

Lu Qingshan shook his head. How could he be privy to the secrets of who has the power in the Great Xia?

“After Ancestral Daoist Xia achieved enlightenment, he expelled the demon race from the Abyss and established the Great Xia Dynasty. For some reasons, he then began a closed-door cultivation in an unknown place and remained hidden from the world for ten thousand years.
