Cultivation: Become God by playing a game

Chapter 72

After Fang Heng regained his body and made what he thought was the right choice.

The battle between Su Chen and Red Tail Snake has come to an end.

In reality, Red Tail Snake, who was originally preparing to fight Su Chen to the death, suddenly stopped where he was.

It ignored Su Chen's attack and did not react at all.

It was as if someone had cast a spell on it.

When Su Chen saw this scene, he knew that his plan... was successful!

In fact, in the previous battles, Su Chen had forced Red Tail Snake to fight for his body with Fang Heng many times.

But at that time he was unable to force the red-tail snake into danger.

As a result, Red Tail Snake still had a lot of external power left to suppress Fang Heng.

Therefore, he was never able to completely defeat the red-tail snake.

But this time he used himself as bait, forcing Red Tail Snake to cut off one of his arms, which seriously injured his vitality.

He also drew upon the combat experience he had gained from his many battles with the red-tail snake.

In the second stage, the fight lasted for a long time, forcing him to release the poisonous mist with all his strength to compress his dodging space.

After all this, the red-tail snake's outer path power was no longer enough.

It also created an excellent opportunity for Fang Heng to take back his body.

Therefore, in a sense, the red-tail snake was never fighting with Su Chen alone.

He has been fighting with Su Chen and Fang Heng!

After all, as a disciple of the Taichu Divine Sect, Fang Heng would never accept that he would have to live as a heretic and evil demon in the future.

If that were true, he would rather die.

This is the choice Fang Heng made.

Bang!

On the second floor of the Sword Pavilion, Su Chen broke through the poisonous fog and came to the red-tail snake and attacked with all his strength.

The sword energy around him spread out and condensed into a silver-white dragon.

This dragon is lifelike and possesses an invisible dragon power.

A silver-white light passed through the red-tail snake's body. Su Chen aimed at the half of the naked body exposed on the snake's head and pierced his chest with a sword.

And this sword not only defeated the external demon body condensed by a red tail snake.

It also destroyed the remaining soul in Fang Heng's body.

Fang Heng, with only half of his body left, looked at the black dragon sword inserted in his chest with a very calm expression.

At this moment, he had no fear of death at all, only endless relief.

Snap...

As Su Chen drew out the black dragon sword, a sound like glass breaking was heard.

In the next second, a large number of cracks began to appear on the red-tail snake's huge body.

Then, with a bang, it turned into red fragments all over the sky and slowly melted like ice and snow.

Su Chen landed gently and looked up at the fragments floating in the air as if he were watching a silent farewell ceremony.

A broken red sword covered with cracks fell to the ground amidst the debris.

Finally, it was completely shattered into powder and disappeared into the room on the second floor of the sword pavilion.

The evil sword Red Tail snake that had blocked Su Chen for a long time finally disappeared.

Also disappearing with him was Fang Heng, the inner sect disciple of the Taichu Divine Sect who had been hiding for his entire life.

Su Chen watched all this, and after a long silence, he put away his sword and bowed.

"Su Chen, the 65th generation disciple of Taichu Divine Sect, congratulates fellow Taoists on his ascension."

Although Fang Heng had been hiding for his entire life, he finally realized his true feelings and made the decision he thought was right.

Even though this realization came a little late, he did not lose his reputation.

Such a person deserves Su Chen's courtesy.

It was just like the scene after he defeated Ye Chenglin in the ancient tomb.

Although these two people have very different personalities, they are equally firm in upholding the Tao.

"Defending the Dao with one's own body? Being able to teach all the disciples to this level, Taichu Divine Sect is worthy of being the leader of the five major righteous sects."

Su Chen recalled the performances of Ye Chenglin and Fang Heng and felt inexplicably complicated.

Although he was in the Taichu Divine Sect in the game, he looked at things from a third-person perspective.

But he had to admit that the atmosphere in Taichu Divine Sect made him feel comfortable.

Not only is the sect very good to its disciples, but the relationships among them are also very harmonious.

Although there is competition among everyone, this competition is mostly benign and does not harm harmony.

Su Chen thought about it from another perspective, wondering if he was born in a sect like the Taichu Divine Sect.

Then perhaps he will fight for the sect until the last moment.

After all, the cruelty of immortal cultivators mostly comes from the departure of countless relatives and friends over a long period of time.

It doesn't mean that cultivators are born cold-blooded and heartless.

After all, cultivators are also human beings, and they also hate separation and death.

But that is the secular situation, not the situation in the sect's holy land.

In the mortal world, your family and friends may have changed drastically, and nothing has changed after you finish your retreat.

But in the sect, when you come out of seclusion, most of the people you are familiar with are there, and you won't feel abandoned by the world.

"No wonder people always say there is a difference between immortals and mortals. It's not because immortals are cold-blooded and don't want to interact with mortals."

"It's just that mortals have a limited lifespan and they are tired of separation, so they don't want to experience such a thing again."

After sighing, Su Chen immediately looked at his game panel.

At the moment of defeating Fang Heng, Su Chen immediately felt a lot of changes.

This change is not only reflected in in-game data but also in other aspects.

[You defeated the Foundation Establishment Stage Magic Corpse/Heretic Sword Demon—Fang Heng, you gained 5000 experience points, you gained Soul Crystal Fragments (green)*2, you gained Unknown Sword Intent*1]

[Number of Soul Crystal Fragments (Green): 3]

[Innate magical power (67/100): not awakened]

[Current experience value: 6792]

Fang Heng, who was at the first level of the foundation building stage, had two thousand more experience points and one soul crystal fragment (green) than Ye Chenglin, who was at the first level of the foundation building stage.

Su Chen speculated that this was because he not only defeated Fang Heng but also his spiritual sword, the redtail snake, which was contaminated by the power of the heretic path.

He thinks these extra experience points and soul crystal fragments were provided by the red-tail snake.

Therefore, although it seemed that he only defeated one dungeon boss, he defeated two.

It can be said that the harvest was fruitful.

And now the number of soul crystal fragments is enough for him to complete the awakening of his innate supernatural powers.

However, Su Chen was not in a hurry to awaken his innate magical power because he was studying the 'unknown sword intent' that he had accidentally obtained.

[Unknown Sword Intention]

[Effect: After using it, you can have a special sword perception. It is recommended to use it after a certain sword skill reaches the "small success level" to avoid affecting your swordsmanship.]

After extreme state, one can enter the Dao?

Through the description of the effect of the unknown sword intent, Su Chen obtained unexpected information.

He had been curious before if "extreme realm" meant that you had practiced a skill beyond the scope of "art.".

What is above the realm of extreme states?

Now there is an answer to this question.

The next state after the extreme state, the realm, is entering the Tao.

And this state can be understood literally.

"No wonder even though I cultivated Water Dragon Roar to the point of extreme state, I still couldn't cultivate the sword intent that sword cultivators talk about."

"extreme state is the limit of the technique, but not the limit of the Tao."

"Or, in other words, extreme State means the final step. As long as he can take one more step, he can completely peek into the realm of Tao."

"No wonder some sword cultivators cannot cultivate sword intent in their entire lives. This entry-level sword technique is not something that can be achieved by just spending time. It also requires amazing understanding and a bit of luck."

"That is, I can use experience points to improve my skills, and there will be no so-called bottleneck when upgrading my skills."

"Otherwise, I don't know what kind of amazing person can take care of his cultivation while also elevating his magic to a level of enlightenment."

"And now that the game suggests that I should comprehend the sword intent after entering the Dao, I'd better not waste time on the sword intent for now and see what innate magical power I can awaken first."

Su Chen didn't think the game's suggestion was groundless.

There must be a reason why it gives him this advice.

Thinking of this, Su Chen took out two soul crystal fragments (green)...
