Chapter 530: Chapter 530: Unlocking 3 Diagrams in Succession

Inside the Cultivation Cave Mansion, the dazzling saber light illuminated every detail of the stone cavern.

The seventy-two cave mansions of the Upper Scenic Celestial were carved into different mountain peaks. Although the one Zhang Yuan rented was of the lowest grade, it had all the necessary facilities.

Zhang Yuan had been channeling the divine saber light to wear down the Celestial Divine Iron for three days and nights, and he was still full of energy, without the slightest fatigue or weariness.

Perhaps this cave mansion could indeed gather spiritual qi, greatly benefiting the cultivator within.

However, this wasn’t Zhang Yuan’s focus; his attention was wholly concentrated on the Celestial Divine Iron in front of him.

After thirty-six consecutive hours of cutting and grinding, half an inch of the surface of the Celestial Divine Iron had been removed, fully exposing its dark golden core.

In fact, initially, the Red Blood Saber’s divine light quickly dissolved the iron.

But as he got closer to the core, the difficulty increased significantly.

It was as if this Celestial Divine Iron possessed a strong spirituality, stubbornly resisting the divine light of the Red Blood Saber, showing great resilience.

If not for Zhang Yuan’s constant infusion of Primordial Gang Force, continually activating the power of this divine weapon.

It would likely take a year or so just to break this shell.

Zhang Yuan finally understood why the people of the Hulan Tribe, after obtaining the Celestial Divine Iron, could not put it to any use.

They truly couldn’t solve the problem of melting it.

These three days and nights were also a refining journey in cultivation for Zhang Yuan.

His Gang Power and aura intermingled with the Red Blood Saber, deepening his mastery of the divine weapon.

Now, it was harvest time!

As yet another layer of Celestial Divine Iron, thin as a cicada’s wing, was worn away by the saber light, the core of this treasure suddenly emitted a dazzling light, causing Zhang Yuan, close by, to instinctively close his eyes.

His eyelids even felt a slight pain, as if pierced by countless sharp needles.

The Red Blood Saber hovering above the divine iron suddenly hummed loudly, emitting an ecstatic resonance.

When Zhang Yuan reopened his eyes, he saw the outer shell of the Celestial Divine Iron had been shaved off, and its core, under the guidance of the saber light, floated upward automatically.

Condensing into a size of an egg.

This dark golden liquid metal emitted an indescribable aura.

The next moment, it burst silently into hundreds of thousands of drops of golden liquid, merging into the Red Blood Saber.

The Red Blood Saber appeared to be coated in a layer of gold, its body gleaming, with its aura and light constantly changing.

Under Zhang Yuan’s gaze, this divine weapon extended nearly three inches, its form greatly altered from before.

The surface of the blade faintly bore countless mysterious runes.

Just one look left Zhang Yuan dizzy and shocked!

The runes on the Red Blood Saber were definitely not ordinary runes, unlike anything he had seen before.

But at this moment, Zhang Yuan had no time to study them, as the saber’s light flashed, instantly disappearing without a trace.

It actually returned of its own accord to his Qi Sea Dantian!

Undoubtedly, after merging with the core of the Celestial Divine Iron, this divine weapon’s spirituality had significantly increased.

Zhang Yuan sensed it had fallen into slumber again.

And this slumber would surely last much longer than before!

He had rented the cultivation cave mansion for ten days.

According to sect rules, if one leaves halfway, the rent, which is paid in Daoist Merit, will not be refunded.

Thus, Zhang Yuan simply continued cultivating the Primordial Celestial Spirit True Method within the cave mansion.

His cultivation realm had already reached the peak of Tier Six, just a step away from the Divinity Realm.

But this step has blocked countless heroes throughout history.

Numerous talented martial artists spend their entire lives hovering before Tier Seven, unable to find the entrance.

Because stepping into the Divine Realm requires not only exceptional talent, a powerful cultivation technique, and relentless effort.

It also requires luck and opportunity!

Without the right opportunity and sufficient luck, one cannot hope to overcome this heavenly chasm.

The rapid advancement of Zhang Yuan’s cultivation realm inevitably left his foundation somewhat lacking, so he planned to spend two to three years nourishing spirit and qi, to build a solid foundation for advancing into Tier Seven.

Zhang Yuan actually had another major issue.

That is, he came from the bottom, having fought his way up like a loose cultivator, incomparable to the elite disciples of aristocratic families and major sects, unable to obtain true martial arts legacy.

Though Zhang Yuan is now an Outer Guardian of the Martial Pavilion, the word "outer" indicates his status.

Even though he could seek guidance from Upper Scenic Celestial martial arts experts using Daoist Merit, he shouldn’t expect them to impart the sect’s core cultivation techniques and martial arts principles.

Fortunately, Zhang Yuan had enough luck to obtain King Zhou of Yin’s Extreme Martial Golden Core.

This Golden Core contained endless martial arts secrets, holding the spiritual energies of seventy-six grandmasters, encompassing countless martial memories, equivalent to a martial arts library of a five-hundred-year dynasty.

The path to Tier Seven had already been paved for Zhang Yuan!

He practiced in the cultivation cave mansion for another three days.

This particular day, while Zhang Yuan was channeling his energy, he suddenly felt a stirring in his heart and abruptly opened his eyes.

The next moment, he stretched out his right hand with the palm facing up, and the Red Blood Saber instantly appeared above his palm, emitting a faint glow.

The originally crimson divine weapon had not only increased in size but also displayed an awe-inspiring gold and red hue along the blade, with a faint shimmering glint, signifying its sharpness.

Boom!

At the moment of summoning the Red Blood Saber, it was as if a Level 9 earthquake occurred within Zhang Yuan’s sea of consciousness.

The Twelve Divine Weapon Maps simultaneously manifested in his sea of consciousness.

Besides the first, second, and third previously unlocked maps, three new maps were unexpectedly unlocked, a torrent of memories flooding into Zhang Yuan’s divine soul, almost causing his head to explode on the spot!

Though he had some premonition, Zhang Yuan never imagined that after the Red Blood Saber digested the core of the Celestial Divine Iron, it would unlock three divine weapon maps at once.

It indeed took him by surprise.

Luckily, Zhang Yuan’s Divine Soul Will was extraordinarily strong, his sea of consciousness far surpassing his peers, so though the impact of the three maps was intense and overwhelming, it didn’t cause him essential harm.

Moments later, Zhang Yuan regained his composure and began sorting through the divine weapon techniques he just acquired.

The first three maps of the Twelve Divine Weapon Maps bestowed Zhang Yuan with the Divine Treasure Technique, Divine Defense Technique, and Divine Concealment Technique.

The fourth, fifth, and sixth maps just unlocked bestowed the Divine Lock Technique, Divine Light Technique, and Divine Flash Technique!

Zhang Yuan spent another three days in the cultivation cave mansion to basically master the three magic techniques related to the Red Blood Saber.

However, it was just a preliminary mastery, clearly still some way from fully utilizing them.

Nonetheless, Zhang Yuan was extremely satisfied.

Because the addition of these three divine weapon maps greatly reinforced the Red Blood Saber’s status as his primary weapon.

He would have enough resolve to face stronger opponents in the future!
