309: Nine Gods Pure Realm, Sword of Nothingness - Gas-Transformed Sword

Feng Zixian's worry was not unfounded.

When they approached within 100,000 li of the Blood Wave Divine Sword, their physical strength, which was at the Three Gods Immaculate Realm, could no longer proceed further.

Within 10,000 li, only those with physical strength reaching the Five Gods Immaculate Realm could enter.

Within 1,000 li, those at the Six Gods Immaculate Realm could move freely.

Within 100 li, only those at the Seven Gods Immaculate Realm could set foot!

Feng Zixian undoubtedly stopped outside the 100 li mark.

"Husband, you continue to go deeper. If you can't, don't push yourself too hard, lest you injure yourself."

"A man cannot say he can't!"

..."Alright, just do what you can."

Feng Zixian also let out a wry smile.

She didn't expect Long Aotian to be so carefree at this moment; his mentality was truly good. She thought that even if he couldn't obtain the Blood Wave Divine Sword, he shouldn't have any problems.

However, in her heart, she naturally hoped and prayed that Long Aotian would be able to obtain the sword.

Long Aotian was not at ease leaving Feng Zixian outside, so with a thought, he directly brought her into the Sixth Layer Space World, and then he continued to go deeper alone.

Upon stepping within 10 li, Long Aotian clearly felt the power of the Sword Qi suddenly increase by a notch, and only those with physical strength reaching the Eight Gods Immaculate Realm could enter.

At this moment, Long Aotian's expression couldn't help but become solemn.

He, too, like Feng Zixian, had vaguely worried earlier that he wouldn't be able to reach the Blood Wave Divine Sword, feeling that with his current physical strength, he still couldn't reach the Blood Wave Divine Sword.

This made his heart sink.

Within 10 li, Long Aotian did not dare to move too quickly, each step only covering about ten meters.

With each step he took, he felt the power of the Sword Qi rapidly increasing. He wondered if it was because he was getting closer to the Blood Wave Divine Sword? The distance over which it increased was shrinking, but its power was intensifying.

The closer he got, the more somber Long Aotian's expression became.

As expected, when his figure appeared within one li of the Blood Wave Divine Sword, the terrifying Sword Qi was already able to leave shallow marks on his Eight Gods Immaculate Realm body.

Based on experience, within this one li radius, only those with physical strength reaching the Nine Gods Immaculate Realm could enter!

With the Blood Wave Divine Sword right before him, was he to miss it just like this?

Long Aotian's heart was filled with unwillingness!

He couldn't help but step within one li to test it out. As a result, after merely stepping ten meters in, the terrifying Sword Qi instantly injured him, turning him into a blood wave person, and he hurriedly retreated.

Strong!

Too strong!

This Sword Qi simply couldn't be forced through!

Otherwise, there would only be one outcome: death!

The closer one got to the Blood Wave Divine Sword, the denser the Sword Qi became. A single strand of Sword Qi seemed to contain billions of Sword Qi, which dispersed as it traveled further, echoing in space.

Trying to cleverly obtain it with speed was also unfeasible!

If one's body was not strong enough, no matter how fast one was, as long as one approached, as long as one entered, one would be cut into pieces.

"Hmm? It's recovering quite fast, and I can vaguely feel that as my body recovers, its strength also increases by a tiny bit, especially with a subtle trace of Sword Qi remaining within my body."

Long Aotian suddenly noticed that after his injuries rapidly healed, he not only didn't become weak in the slightest from being injured by the Sword Qi, but instead subtly grew a tiny bit stronger. This made him overjoyed.

When he looked at the Sword Qi blocking his path, his heart was no longer somber, his expression no longer solemn, but instead his eyes became bright, and his heart grew excited.

"This place is an excellent spot for Body Tempering!

Perhaps, the Swordplay Technique is here, and the latter part of the Cultivation Technique might also achieve a Breakthrough!"

Long Aotian thought of using the terrifying Sword Qi for self-harming Body Tempering, and he saw the hope of breaking through to the Nine Gods Immaculate Realm.

Furthermore!

The combat Martial Skill Swordplay Technique he Cultivated was divided into an upper and lower part. He had already Cultivated the upper part, the Swordplay of Existence, to its peak, but he had been unable to grasp the knack of Cultivating the lower part, the Swordplay of Nothingness.

Upon seeing the domineering Sword Qi echoing before him, Long Aotian had a faint feeling in his heart that this might be an opportunity for a Breakthrough in the Swordplay of Nothingness.

With a Breakthrough in his physical Realm and a Breakthrough in his combat Martial Skill, how could this terrifying one-li forbidden zone before him still be a place of extreme danger?

To him, Long Aotian, this was clearly a blessed land!

Long Aotian planned to Cultivate here for a period of time, so he told Feng Zixian, who was in the Sixth Layer Space World. As soon as she heard that he was going to use Sword Qi for Body Tempering, she didn't even frown and expressed her desire to join him.

How could Long Aotian bear to let her temper her body through self-harm?

But Feng Zixian also couldn't bear for him to temper his body through self-harm, and she also said that they should share blessings and tribulations together. If she also used Sword Qi for Body Tempering, she wouldn't feel so sad about him being injured by the Sword Qi.

Especially, with a couple progressing together, she wouldn't have that sense of loss in her heart.

Having no choice, Long Aotian had to go out a hundred li, release her, and let her also use Sword Qi for Body Tempering.

To save time, Long Aotian naturally did not forget to activate the time flow acceleration of the Sixth Layer Space World.

Under the acceleration of time, half a month passed outside, while ten years passed inside. During this period, Long Aotian's body was constantly cut by Sword Qi and then rapidly recovered. After countless repetitions, Long Aotian didn't know how many times he had been injured.

His body's recovery ability went from taking half a day to recover from Sword Qi injuries, to five hours, four hours... half an hour, a quarter of an hour, half a breath... Finally, when the Sword Qi within one li of the Blood Wave Divine Sword could no longer cut his body, Long Aotian's physical strength successfully broke through to the Nine Gods Immaculate Realm.

Because he was injured by the intrusion of Sword Qi, Long Aotian didn't know how many strands of Sword Qi remained in his body during this period. Under the operation of the Chaos Dao Art, these Sword Qi were actually refined. Unbeknownst to him, Long Aotian had actually condensed into the sword body that Sword Cultivators dreamed of during those ten years.

At this moment, Long Aotian, upon seeing the Sword Qi echoing in the air, felt as if he was seeing sharp swords.

The Swordplay of Nothingness, unknowingly, had also been initiated...
