Long Junhai polished out all the raw stones of the Heavenly Dao. The total value of those Heavenly Dao steles was about 20 million divine stones. It was not a big profit, but it was not a big loss either. However, he obtained a lot of Heavenly Dao aura. The Heavenly Dao aura he absorbed in these days gave his soul a lot of supplements, making his soul power more and more full, and there was already a trend of repair.
Long Junhai originally wanted to absorb some of the power from the Heavenly Dao Stele, but because he had not practiced sword for a long time, he decided to continue practicing sword. After all, improving strength is the most important thing. In the future, he will not lack wealth and the Heavenly Dao Stele, so there is no need to rush to deal with things in this regard.
Spring passed, autumn came, year after year. Long Junhai practiced swordplay during the day and absorbed the power of the Heavenly Dao Stele at night. He persisted every day for a full twenty years. Finally, he unlocked the Shenglong Sword once again. Now, the Shenglong Sword weighed as much as fifty dragons! This was another major challenge for him!
Every time when Long Junhai was about to reach the peak of swordsmanship, he would be thrown back into the abyss. His body would constantly surpass the limit. It was like forging a sword. Only after thousands of hammerings could it cut through all the obstacles!
Long Junhai's mentality is now much more stable, and he is no longer as impatient as before. Whether he can become a core disciple or not is no longer so important to him, because he has found a way to repair his soul, but the process is relatively slow.
Long Junhai absorbed a large amount of Heavenly Dao aura and the power from the Heavenly Dao Stele. His overall strength has reached the peak of a True God. If he continues to practice, he will sooner or later break through to the Heavenly God realm.
However, Long Junhai knew that if he continued to practice like this, his foundation would be unstable and he would also need constant tempering, so he thought about going out to hone his skills.
This year, a white light flew across the sky. When Long Junhai looked up, he found that Jian Chi was already standing in front of him. The other party's cultivation was more than twice as strong as before, and was at least at the mid-stage of the Divine King!
"Master! You're back!" Long Junhai greeted him happily.
"Haha, I forgot that I have a disciple like you. I have gained a lot during these decades of being away. How's your strength now? You haven't been slacking off all the time, have you? After so many years, you are still at the True God realm. I am really disappointed!" said the sword maniac, shaking his head.
Long Junhai smiled bitterly in his heart. Even for those geniuses, it would take more than a hundred years to break through a small level in the realm of True God, not to mention someone like him who could not use divine power. It was already very good to be able to reach the current level!
"Master, I have already unlocked the Shenglong Sword to the power of fifty dragons, but my own realm is improving relatively slowly." Long Junhai said with a smile.
"Hmm? The power of fifty dragons? This is still so-so, barely reaching the passing line of the god level. Come on, let me see your actual combat ability." The sword maniac said with a smile.
Long Junhai nodded, concentrated his mind and calmed down, without any reservation, and rushed forward with his Shenglong Sword!
At this moment, the sword maniac smiled and used his sword fingers instead of flying swords, easily blocking Long Junhai's attack.
Long Junhai was horrified. He had already used all his strength, but Jian Chi only blocked it with two fingers, with a calm expression on his face. This showed that there was a huge difference in strength between the two!
Long Junhai used all the sword techniques he had learned: stabbing, slashing, chopping, and slashing. There were only these four movements, but he moved as smoothly as flowing water, without the slightest flaw! The only difference between him and the sword maniac was his strength.
"Haha, that's really good! It seems you haven't been lazy. Stabbing, slashing, chopping, and slashing are the four most basic moves. It's really impressive that you can practice these four basic moves to this level! Now I'm going to teach you a new move! You better watch carefully!"
After the sword maniac finished speaking, he frowned and his aura suddenly burst out. He seemed to have turned into a sharp sword, and instantly knocked Long Junhai more than ten meters away. He spit out a mouthful of blood while in mid-air, and smashed a big hole more than one meter deep in the thick ground!
"Oh my, your defense is not good enough! If you can't even withstand such a small amount of sword intent, how can you fight with others? It seems you need to practice more!" After saying this, the sword maniac happily returned to his study.
Long Junhai was lying in the deep pit, gasping for breath. He didn't even have time to wipe the blood off himself, let alone climb out of the pit!
Seven days had passed in the blink of an eye, and Long Junhai's injuries had finally stabilized. He felt that he had almost died before! If the sword maniac hadn't controlled that little bit of sword intent, he would have been cut in half on the spot! But even so, he was still seriously injured!
Long Junhai struggled to climb out of the deep pit and wanted to go back to his room to heal his wounds and rest. At this time, he heard the voice of the sword fanatic coming from the study: "As a sword cultivator, how can you abandon your sword? Pick up your sword quickly! Otherwise, don't practice sword here with me!"
Long Junhai was stunned when he heard this. Although he understood that what the sword maniac said made sense, how could he take out the Shenglong Sword from the deep pit in his current state?
But Long Junhai also knew Jianchi's temper. If the other party asked him to do this, there must be a reason. If he disobeyed, the other party would really expel him from the sect!
So Long Junhai gritted his teeth and fell into the deep pit. He didn't have the strength to climb out with the Shenglong Sword, so he could only recuperate in the deep pit.
However, without any elixirs or food in the deep pit, a physical cultivator like Long Junhai really couldn't recover his strength. The longer he stayed there, the weaker he became.
Moreover, there was a very weak sword intent left by the sword maniac in this deep pit. Although this sword intent would not cause secondary damage to Long Junhai, it seriously interfered with the concentration of his own strength.
Therefore, if you want to gather strength and crawl out with the Shenglong Sword, you must first fight against these sword intentions!
In the blink of an eye, more than a month passed. Long Junhai was starving to the point of being skin and bones, but his mental strength did not collapse at all. Instead, it became much tougher than before. He continued to gather his own strength to fight against the weak sword intent left by the sword maniac, and finally dissipated all of this sword intent!
Without the interference of the sword intent, Long Junhai felt much less pressure. Although his body was weak, when he tried to pick up the Shenglong Sword again, he found that he actually felt a resonance with the Shenglong Sword!
"What is this? Is this my own sword intent?" Long Junhai muttered to himself in confusion. He even felt that the weight of the Shenglong Sword had been reduced a lot!
"Haha, this can't be considered sword intent. It's just the prototype of sword intent." The sword maniac said with a smile.
