Supreme Emperor of Swords

Chapter 120 Reflection: The Promotion of Strength

After two hours, night fell completely.

It was too dangerous to continue his way in the darkness. Ding Hao thought twice and decided to find a place to spend the night. Next day he would continue his way back to the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect.

After some consideration, he chose a stout giant tree which was at least a hundred meters high.

After reaching the top quickly, he made a warning device on the branches and leaves below. Ding Hao sat on a large tree branch cross-legged and began to think with his eyes closed.

Ding Hao had a very good habit.

Every night, he would take a short time to recall various things he experienced and analyzed them one by one. They summed up the experience and lessons learned.

‘Although this trial trip was interrupted and I also met with many setbacks along the way, it meant a lot for me since it really strengthened my will.’

‘It was the first time I saw the cruelty of this wild world, the first time I killed the Ominous Beasts, the first time I faced some experts I couldn’t deal with, and the first time I started a feud with others... I don’t want to incur any hatred, but I couldn’t help but find myself a huge rival. Is this the so-called Jianghu world?’

‘Although I had a big problem, I finally managed it. Hehe, I’m going to give myself nine points as it was a good performance!’

‘A decade of grinding a sword, the frost blade has never been tried; now look at the King, who has any grievances?’

‘The rusted sword stained the blood and killed the scum of the Tranquility Academy. I don’t regret it at all. Even if I can choose it again, I will not hesitate to swing the sword and cross into the strange world. It is God who gives me an opportunity for dramatic vengeance. It absolutely cannot be wasted. I want to be a real expert!’

‘Mu Tianyang is a very powerful opponent who is a millennium peerless genius from the Tranquility Academy. However, I am an even rarer Saintly Being of Saber and Sword, and there is still a pair of abnormal grandfather and grandmother in my mind. In three years, I will definitely not lose!’

‘Only strong opponents can give me tremendous pressure!’

‘Only if the pressure is transformed into motivation, the potential in my body can be really stimulated!’

‘People respect me, I respect them more!’

‘My sword and my saber will never surrender to provocation and conspiracy. I killed Song Ke, and I don’t regret it!’

‘My strength today can sweep all opponents in the same realm, but I’m still no rival to Mu Tianyang and I’m even not the opponent of the triangle-faced man and the bearded man. Even in the five academies competition, I defeated Li Muyun by luck...’

‘So, I need more cultivation and cannot relax for a moment. From now on, I must go all out to cultivate!’

As he thought of it, Ding Hao had a sense of crisis growing around him.

Looking up subconsciously, he saw a bright, flawless silver moon hung in the sky. Ding Hao’s heart suddenly felt soft as he couldn’t help but think of a beautiful girl wearing a scarlet-colored armor and carrying a scabbard.

He shook his head and dispelled the tempting illusion in his mind.

It was not the right time to think about these things of beastly beauty.

He carefully combed all the things happened today, summed up his gains and losses, and found out his own shortcomings. After drawing a conclusion, Ding Hao began to get down to work. Emptying his mind, he started cultivating with his gas sinking into dantian.

The dantian swordsmanship under the abdomen had reached the peak of the three-apertured Martial Disciple Realm.

In the following steps, according to the restrictions of the Saintly Being of the Saber and Sword, he must rebuild the middle dantian in his chest, and raise the saber technique to a three-apertured Martial Disciple Realm so as to further improve himself.

Ding Hao entered a meditative state like an elder monk with his mind and spirit merged. He used the technique of One Saber to Begin Your Journey Technique to drive burning flame Qi, the first saber technique among the Ren Meridian in six extra-channels and began slowly striking the third key aperture located in the twelve apertures from the Ren Meridian in sequence.

Yutang aperture.

Time flies in the roar of beasts.

Under the moonlight, Ding Hao was covered with a silver light as if he were a statue, sitting quietly at the top of the giant tree, absorbing the essence of the moon, inhaling and exhaling Qi, and devoting himself to cultivation.

Ding Hao didn’t know how long it took and then suddenly opened his eyes.

There was a surprising look shining in his eyes.

A faint red scattered light flashed away from Ding Hao’s body, and the air was filled with a clear sense of heat. The trunk and fresh green leaves under his body became instantly sickly yellow.

Ding Hao showed a satisfactory look.

‘Haha, okay! The Yutang aperture has been refined, and the saber technique has reached the three-apertured Martial Disciple Realm. The power of burning flame Qi has added up another layer. Then I can continue to cultivate swordsmanship of dantian under the abdomen!’

Although the limitation of two dantians cultivating at the same time enabled Ding Hao not to push one of the Qi in one breath, the benefits along the way were obvious.

Ding Hao also believed that by the time when both veins of odd number and positive number in his two dantians succeeded, his strength would definitely exceed the opponents in the same realm.

At this moment, the night seemed still dark and long.

There were faint sounds of all kinds of fierce beasts coming around.

‘I planned to ask Sword Master to teach me the technique of forging the Storage Ring. However, there are no fellow male apprentices guarding here. The fire and light in the process of forging may attract the attention of some powerful demons. So I’d better continue to cultivate swordsmanship. After returning to the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, I will forge my own Storage Ring!’

After communicating with Sword Master, Ding Hao began to cultivate again.

In the middle of the lower dantian, the first three apertures, Consciousness Sea, Life River, and Spiritual Tao, of Hand’s Minor Yin in the Shaoyin First Channel of Hand have been refined, and now it’s turn to the fourth aperture, Shaofu.

With the previous experience of striking to refine apertures, it was much easier this time.

Ding Hao once again entered a meditative state with his mind and spirit united. He performed the Taixuan Sword-seeking Scripture and motivating ice and snow Qi, slowly infiltrating to the Shaofu aperture. Slowing striking, he looked calm and quiet like an eminent monk passing away. Sitting still, he then instantly came into an ethereal cultivation state.

Time flew quickly.

The silver moon fell and the sun rose.

The first ray of the sun shone on Ding Hao’s face, bringing a touch of warmth. He slowly opened his eyes, a chill that was twice as strong as before spread around him.

The Shaofu aperture was finished!

Ding Hao finally took another solid step into the four-apertured Martial Disciple Realm!

A warrior of the four-apertured Martial Disciple Realm could rotate Qi forty times per second. The speed of each movement is much quicker, and the body can carry 2000 kilograms. Without relying on qinggong, one could jump as high as 30-40 meters as combat strength is enhanced tremendously
