Chapter 32: Entering the Realm of the Immortals

After arranging the family matters, Yi Qianmo entered the secret room and officially began his retreat.

He held a total of twenty-nine Qi Nourishing Pills in his hands, of which nineteen were of medium quality and the remaining ten were of high quality.

For an ordinary martial artist, having so many Qi Nourishing Pills, if used properly, would make it easy to break through to the Qi Refining Stage and become an immortal. But he was different.

Because his body carried the Sword Pill, his training was fundamentally different from that of ordinary people.

When Yi Qianmo received the inheritance, the Sword Pill changed his physical nature, making his body attuned to sword intent, which is known as the Chaotic Sword Body.

This Chaotic Sword Body was created by his ancestor, the Long Life Emperor, who understood the mysterious Great Yi Sword Vault, but even his ancestor never mastered this Chaotic Sword Body.

Or perhaps, this Chaotic Sword Body was a unique technique his ancestor designed for his own reincarnation to cultivate the way of the sword.

However, even though his ancestor prepared everything, he ultimately did not have the chance to use it, all because his opponents were too strong.

Yi Qianmo’s ability to receive this inheritance was filled with countless coincidences, for if he had not entered the Yu family, he would not have swallowed the Sword Pill that turned into beast skin.

But even if he swallowed the Sword Pill, without these thirteen years of purifying his heart and strengthening his will, and without Yu Youwei’s powerful strike that shattered his dantian, he could not have received the inheritance.

"At the cost of their lives, deceiving their enemies, they preserved this spark, showing how great a threat our ancestors felt back then!"

Yi Qianmo felt a mix of excitement and worry in his heart.

In that vague memory, he learned that his ancestors were preparing to be reborn and even prepared a body for themselves.

However, this plan ultimately did not come to fruition, and they had no choice but to sacrifice their lives to preserve the inheritance.

He did not know how strong the Emperor was, but he understood that if there was even a glimmer of hope, people would not choose death.

The current situation could be said to be the worst path among the many plans laid out by his ancestors.

"Chaotic Sword Body, entering the path with the sword, Sword Pill as the foundation of the path, refining the body with sword intent!"

Feeling the hint of sword intent within him, Yi Qianmo closed his eyes. As the Sword Pill began to operate on its own, all of his Nine Yang True Qi was drawn out in an instant.

At the same time, the drained energy flowed back from the Sword Pill, but now this energy had turned into sword energy.

If it weren’t for the Sword Pill’s transformation, the sword energy returned would be enough to crush Yi Qianmo into pieces, but the transformed Sword Pill was different.

This is the Chaotic Sword Body, a very unique way to understand the path through the sword.

Martial artists refine their veins with energy, immortals strengthen their bodies and veins with spiritual power, while the Chaotic Sword Body refines its veins with sword energy.

This is like two martial artists training—one practices on a wooden dummy for years, while the other fights enemies on the battlefield!

The results of training in such different environments are, of course, completely different.

Yi Qianmo is the martial artist who fights enemies on the battlefield.

However, this training method requires a lot of energy; if the energy is insufficient, the Sword Pill will draw vital energy from the body to turn it into sword energy.

Vital energy is the source of blood; if there is no vital energy, the blood will become dispersed.

So in the first two times, Yi Qianmo used the Sword Pill, it was actually very dangerous. If it wasn’t for the lingering power of the modified body from the Sword Pill, he would have already been drained during his first use of it.

As the returning sword energy entered the special channels of his body, Yi Qianmo, who was sitting cross-legged on the mat, suddenly floated up, and his skin gleamed like mercury, shining with a soft glow.

When he opened his eyes, his pupils turned silver and emitted a silver light. This was the true form of the Chaotic Sword Body.

But this was still just a beginning.

At that moment, Yi Qianmo swallowed a Qi Nourishing Pill, and a massive amount of medicinal power flowed into his body.

Yi Qianmo immediately used the sword energy to guide this medicinal power, circulating it within his body. As it completed one cycle through the small and large circulatory pathways, this power entered his Dantian, transforming into the purest true energy.

But in an instant, this true energy was absorbed by the Sword Pill, which then returned it as even purer sword energy.

This cycle continued, making Yi Qianmo’s sword body more refined, and his channels expanded as the sword energy grew.

Half an hour later, Yi Qianmo swallowed a second Qi Nourishing Pill, and as the medicinal power entered his body, the true energy that had been completely depleted was once again gathered, but it was quickly absorbed by the Sword Pill.

In the secret room, the light grew brighter and brighter, and Yi Qianmo’s skin became more delicate and fair.

The cleansing of the body by the sword’s energy is ten times more effective than true energy, and it almost rivals the spiritual power of the immortals, expanding the meridians far beyond that of a usual martial artist.

It is unclear how much time has passed, but Yi Qianmo has used up all the mid-grade Qi Nourishing Pills.

He did not take out the top-grade Qi Nourishing Pills, not because he was worried about his body’s tolerance, but because in his current state, any stronger medicine would quickly be absorbed by the Sword Pill.

He stopped because he felt that he was close to a breakthrough; it was a very mysterious feeling.

It was like climbing a mountain; the further you go, the harder it becomes, but once you reach the top, you can see a view that is impossible to appreciate from below.

The Sword Pill stopped working, and the sword energy returned to the Sword Pill, while Yi Qianmo, suspended in mid-air, landed softly on the mat.

However, at this moment, he was still only at the peak of the innate level and had not yet entered the Qi Refining Stage.

"It’s time to transform true energy into spiritual power!"

Yi Qianmo took a long breath and swallowed a pill again!

This is a top-grade Qi Nourishing Pill. Only those who have reached the Qi Refining Stage can use such a pill; even the most skilled martial artist would die if they tried to take it.

Even ordinary immortals would not dare to swallow a top-grade Qi Nourishing Pill directly; they would only attempt to use high-quality pills when they reached the later stages of the Qi Refining Stage.

But Yi Qianmo swallowed it, and a powerful wave of medicine surged into his body, flooding his limbs and bones in an instant.

If it were a normal martial artist, they would have exploded by now, but Yi Qianmo’s body had been refined by sword energy, making his meridians much stronger than an ordinary martial artist’s.

So he only felt his body swell and experienced sharp pains inside, but he did not explode.

At the same time, Yi Qianmo focused his mind and guided the medicinal power into his dantian, imagining a whirlwind forming inside; this is the first step to entering the Qi Refining Stage, and also the hardest step.

Countless martial artists fail to become immortals, either because their willpower is not strong enough to visualize the whirlwind, or because their true energy is insufficient to form it.

But Yi Qianmo succeeded easily; the medicinal power entered his dantian and was quickly converted into true energy. With his strong will, he made this true energy rotate like a whirlwind in an instant.

If one were to look inside at this moment, they would find a swirling vortex of energy in his dantian, and at the center of the vortex was a Sword Pill, round like a goose egg.

However, the swirling energy has not yet stopped; to truly become a celestial being, one must transform the energy into spiritual power.

Without hesitation, Yi Qianmo seized the opportunity and swallowed the second top-grade Qi Nourishing Pill.

As a new wave of healing power emerged, Yi Qianmo guided it to flow within him for two complete cycles, transforming this healing power into energy.

When the energy flowed through his meridians into the dantian, the vortex within spun rapidly.

The mist-like energy gradually transformed into a clear liquid, as pure as well water, with the constant spinning of the vortex.
