Sacrificial Artifact System: From Bell-ringer to the Ancestral Patriarch of the Sect novel Chapter 45

Chapter 45: Chapter 45 Perfect Innate

"The Pure Sword Body is indeed peculiar."

Li Qian felt his body resonating faintly with the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi with each breath.

This was a sign of the Pure Sword Body absorbing the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi.

If he wished... he could now break through the barrier between the Postnatal and the Innate Realm, stepping into the Innate Realm.

Normally, there are three ways for a Postnatal Martial Artist at their limit to enter the Innate Realm.

One way is to use Perfect Level Inner Qi to break through the Heavenly Spirit Acupoint at the top of the head, creating a channel between man and heaven, allowing the absorption of Heaven and Earth Essence Qi into the body, merging with Postnatal Qi, and ultimately transforming it into True Qi.

However, the risk is substantial.

A slight mishap could damage the brain, and there’s a certain failure rate.

Unless one’s Root Bone qualifications are high enough, the breakthrough would be relatively simple.

The second method is to comprehend Martial Intent before entering the Innate Realm, using Martial Intent as a medium to guide Inner Qi to break through the Heavenly Spirit Acupoint, which poses little risk and has almost no chance of failure.

This requires a high level of comprehension.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to comprehend Martial Intent in advance.

The third method is to consume an Innate Pill to forcefully open the Heavenly Spirit Acupoint... but the drawback is obvious; it is said that it’s very difficult to advance one’s Cultivation Realm further, limiting one’s future potential, also known as Half-step Innate.

Those who resort to the third method... are often Postnatal Martial Artists with mediocre Root Bone qualifications and comprehension.

For many Postnatal Martial Artists, being able to achieve Innate status, even if only Half-step Innate, is already satisfying enough.

Moreover... Innate Pills are in themselves very precious.

Without enough financial resources and connections, it’s not certain one could even buy them.

But now, after Li Qian cultivated the Pure Sword Body, it was as if his body could naturally absorb Heaven and Earth Essence Qi.

This was outrageous.

Moreover, his whole body could absorb Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, the efficiency of which was countless times higher than that of an ordinary Innate.

He has not yet achieved Innate, but Li Qian already almost understood why it was called Perfect Innate.

This might only be one of the advantages.

"Then let’s break through."

Li Qian looked up at the sky, his eyes lifting.

A full moon hung high, spilling its silver radiance and rendering the world hazy.

He took a deep breath and for the first time began to operate the Heartless Sword Technique.

Since reaching the Perfect Postnatal state, he had not practiced the Heartless Sword Technique.

At most, he would practice the Five Elements Swordsmanship.

Even after such a long time without practicing the Heartless Sword Technique, there was no sense of obstruction when he operated his Inner Strength.

No, it ran even smoother than before.

There was only one term he could use to describe it.

Silky smooth.

"Indeed, after cultivating the Pure Sword Body, operating the Heartless Sword Technique has become even more silky smooth."

Li Qian was very satisfied in his heart.

After practicing one set of the Heartless Sword Technique, the robust Inner Qi in his body circulated a Grand Circulation within the Pure Sword Body, and the boundless Heaven and Earth Essence Qi surrounding him, as if suddenly breaking through a barrier, rushed frantically into his body through all the acupoints.

A layer of peculiar luminescence began to emerge on his body.

This was the halo produced by the overwhelming Heaven and Earth Essence Qi under the illumination of moonlight.

As the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi entered his body, influenced by the Pure Sword Body, it merged with the Postnatal Inner Qi, forming a new kind of power.

True Qi.

Or, Innate True Qi, to be exact.

This Innate True Qi, like strands of silver-white silk, rapidly branched throughout the meridians all over his body.

...

Meanwhile, in a wooden hut hundreds of meters away from the Bell Platform.

Zhou Buping was trying to cultivate.

Although his injuries had largely healed.

Recovering the damaged Qi Sea was not that easy.

The same was true for Sword Intent.

Cultivation decline and the waning of Sword Intent had already become facts.

"Alas, it’s still not working."
