Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 239: Soul Breakthrough

Following this, Xu Ping’an immersed himself completely in his cultivation practice.

After three days, he had fully stabilized his cultivation at the Fifth Rank First Layer Realm.

Not only that, he completed the second transformation of his sword-shaped Thunder Attribute True Elemental, and the Metal Attribute True Elemental began The Fourth Transformation.

As a result, Xu Ping’an’s strength had notably increased.

During these three days, Zhou Mengyue also brought over the Hehuan Sect’s information about the families of the Seven Major Attributes.

Xu Ping’an reviewed all this information.

And indeed, he found some useful information within.

About the families of the Seven Major Attributes, there were speculations that there were actually nine major attributes.

Some had seen individuals with the Power of the Taiyin and the Power of the Sun, but since the members of these two families were extremely rare, the person who put forth this speculation did not gain the recognition of others.

The family with the Power of the Sun had even been exterminated by their enemies long ago, leaving no descendants behind.

As for the origins of these attribute families, there were no clear records.

However, some have suggested that these families could be descendants of the bloodline of the gods of the Seven Attributes.

This idea did surprise Xu Ping’an.

After all, even in the Spirit Realm, there are very few records about gods.

Xu Ping’an actually agreed with this idea, as the Seven Luminaries Ring could not have been created by the Immortal Emperor.

The whereabouts of the other attribute families were not mentioned in the book.

…

The third day quickly arrived.

When Xu Ping’an and his companions arrived at the Holy Battlefield, he found that the number of people present had reached a peak.

Xu Ping’an also observed some of the geniuses who advanced that day and found that their strength had somewhat improved.

Clearly, they had not been idle these past three days.

Even Song Kaitian had broken through to the Fifth Rank Eighth Layer Realm.

With this, his strength became even more formidable.

Then looking at Li Qingyi, her strength had reached the Fifth Rank Fourth Layer Realm.

It had to be said, her strength improved quickly, and upon closer inspection by Xu Ping’an, her aura was not weak but rather extremely solid.

In other words, she wasn’t purely chasing after higher realms in her strength improvement.

However, feeling the intense heat emanating from Li Qingyi, Xu Ping’an still frowned slightly.

"Don’t stress too much, it’s okay if we don’t get a spot. The slots are good, but there’s no need to insist on getting one," Xu Ping’an pondered and then spoke.

Li Qingyi was startled, then burst out laughing.

"Don’t worry, I also want to give it my all," Li Qingyi said with determination in her eyes.

"Hmm, I know you’re not someone who gives up easily. I’m not asking you to give up. I just think there’s no need to put too much pressure on yourself because you have me," Xu Ping’an said earnestly.

Li Qingyi smiled sweetly, clearly very happy, and nodded lightly, "Okay."

"Does it hurt?" Xu Ping’an asked after some thought.

Li Qingyi’s smile became even more radiant as she replied, "It hurts, but I can bear it."

Indeed, Xu Ping’an noticed it.

Seeing her response, a hint of heartache flashed in Xu Ping’an’s eyes.

He understood why Li Qingyi’s strength had increased so rapidly.

She was using the True Phoenix Fire to forge herself, undergoing rebirth by fire almost every time.

This method of cultivation was incredibly potent, but the pain it entailed was beyond what most could imagine.

It could be said that each session of fire tempering was akin to experiencing an ordeal worse than death.

With her talent, she didn’t need to go to such extremes.

She could very well progress slowly in her cultivation, yet she chose this self-harming path.

And most likely, a big part of the reason for this was because of him.

Watching Li Qingyi smiling so freely, Xu Ping’an was caught between laughter and tears.

Is this girl a fool?

Is it worth it?

However, Li Qingyi’s actions deeply moved Xu Ping’an’s heart.

One could say that at this moment, Li Qingyi truly and thoroughly entered Xu Ping’an’s heart.

"Since you’ve given so much, then strive for what you want. I believe in you, let them see that my woman, Xu Ping’an’s woman, is destined to dazzle." Xu Ping’an said earnestly.

"Okay!" Li Qingyi nodded, her eyes filled with unprecedented determination.

Xu Ping’an also took a deep breath, and in the next moment, his Soul Power suddenly underwent a transformation.

From the late stage of multitasking with one heart, he broke through to the peak of multitasking with one heart.

"Huh?" Xu Ping’an was taken aback.

His Soul Realm had actually broken through?

But soon, he showed a self-mocking smile.

That’s right, just now he had come to understand some things, so his Soul Realm had suddenly improved.

He didn’t expect to still be influenced by the memories of his past, even after his rebirth.

He thought he had moved on, but now it seemed that he had truly let go only just now.

"Hmm, this is quite interesting."

Meanwhile, on the high platform.

The Sovereign of Great Qin looked at Xu Ping’an with surprise.

The Martial King and the National Stabilizing General also noticed the fluctuations in Xu Ping’an’s soul, and expressions of astonishment appeared on their faces.

A Fifth Rank, and his Soul Realm had already reached such a level.

Once he reaches the Sixth Rank Peak, perhaps he will face no bottlenecks.

One must know how many people get stuck at the bottleneck of Soul Solidifying and can’t break through for their whole lives.

Therefore, Xu Ping’an’s current breakthrough in Soul Power was seen as something inconceivable by the Sovereign of Great Qin and the others.

"This young man truly is a genius. It seems like he had a moment of epiphany just now, leading to a breakthrough in his Heart Realm, and that’s why his Soul Power improved," the National Stabilizing General couldn’t help but say.

"Yes, indeed, an improvement in Heart Realm can indeed elevate the Soul Realm, indicating that his soul inherently has a great potential," the Sovereign of Great Qin remarked.

"He is a genius. I’ve previously tried to get Long Zhan to train his Soul Power, but his progress was slow. Yet this man’s Soul Realm has already reached the peak of multitasking with one heart; he is probably not far from breaking through to the Heart Like a Clear Mirror," the Martial King couldn’t help but add.

Heart Like a Clear Mirror?

Many Sixth Rank Peak powerhouses spend decades without achieving it.

But how old is Xu Ping’an?

This potential, it seems even stronger than Song Kaitian and the others.

"This lad truly is a monster; even falling in love makes his soul break through." At this moment, Master Yan Wu was also full of surprise.

He had been observing Xu Ping’an all along, so he had seen the flash of insight that had passed through Xu Ping’an’s eyes just now.

If Xu Ping’an truly broke through to the Soul Solidifying Realm, wouldn’t that mean he is fully capable of refining Immortal Instruments?

An Immortal Instrument Master under twenty years old?

Yan Wu gasped in shock, unable to even imagine.

Once this news gets out, it will certainly shake the entire Mortal Realm, and perhaps the Fifth Realms as well.

"Would the top hundred contestants please proceed to the Holy Refinement Ground," said General Long Yan at this moment.

Following General Long Yan’s statement, the entire plaza instantly fell silent.

And then, multiple figures darted out from the stands, landing in the center of the Holy Battlefield.

As these contestants appeared, the stands erupted once more with incredibly excited cheers.

"Let’s go!" Xu Ping’an said with a slight smile.

He grabbed Li Qingyi’s hand and darted toward the Holy Battlefield.

Li Qingyi blushed, then followed Xu Ping’an to the Holy Battlefield with a face full of joy.

And this scene immediately attracted the attention of many.
