Chapter 1859: Extreme Cultivation

In a room piled with notes, rotten wooden boards, and paper fragments, Su Xiao sat on a wooden carving carved from tree roots. It was engraved with text, but due to insect damage and erosion by wind and rain, the handwriting on the wooden carving was already very blurred.

Everything in this room was related to sword techniques, swordsmanship, potion preparation, and eternal power.

With Su Xiao's current power, it was easy for him to find these. He only needed to give orders to Wu Fu, Zos, and others, and these two would send their subordinates to collect them. After hearing about this, the Minister of Finance also sent quite a few, which were said to have come mostly from the Imperial Treasury.

"Sword techniques can be practiced like this?"

Su Xiao muttered, looking at a metal leaf in his hand and clicking his tongue in wonder. This was left by a sword technique expert. The other party was a transcendent, and a long sword was the other party's main weapon.

The Black King World belonged to a medium-high martial arts world, and the level of technique in this world was not low. This could be seen from Prisoner Hera's "Bare-handed Combat Master lv. 29."

One had to know that the other party was no longer as clear-headed as before death, so the level of the "Bare-handed Combat Master" ability would also be reduced. But even so, the other party still had a lv. 29 Bare-handed Combat Master ability.

Before the Black King appeared, the law of the jungle ran rampant in the Black King World. This continent was controlled by experts who called themselves Mystics, which were the transcendents of today.

As for those with superb techniques, they were respectfully called Extreme Cultivators, who tempered transcendent skills by transcending their own limits.

Powerful Mystics were generation after generation, and they were the hegemons of this continent. As for Extreme Cultivators, they had no interest in ruling but focused on breaking through their own limits, comparing themselves with mortal bodies to certain powerful existences, which were the "gods" high above in this world.

In fact, the so-called gods were Mystics who had become powerful to the limit. They were completely assimilated with eternal power, lost most of their personality, and existed in different spaces.

Mystics and gods formed the ruling class of this continent. Mystics needed to obey the gods, while Extreme Cultivators traveled on the continent. They would respect powerful gods but would not worship them.

As for the commoners, there were 27 orthodox sects on this continent at most. In the end, whoever didn't believe in gods was a sinner. It was bloody, fanatical, but also distortedly prosperous.

One day, a child openly provoked the sects. Although young, he advocated that believing in gods in this way was wrong. People shouldn't be destined to become slaves from birth. This world needed to be managed by ordinary people with ability. Mystics could be respected, but they couldn't act recklessly. The same was true for gods. Only Extreme Cultivators could be considered experts. They pursued their own strength and wouldn't squeeze the living space of ordinary people.

No one should be born under oppression, and no one should be born a sacrifice. Beautiful women should be free to choose their spouses, rather than being picked like dolls by Mystics.

Once these remarks were made, the local sect was furious and decided to put the child to death, but an Extreme Cultivator rescued the child. This child was named Adegesh.

Twenty years later, Adegesh returned from the sea, bringing only three Extreme Cultivators.

In just over a dozen years, this continent was conquered by him. All gods were slaughtered and trampled by his army. The high-and-mighty Mystics could only kneel under the throne, and the deep-rooted concepts of ordinary people were shattered.

And this former child was called the Black King by later generations. He was the king that the human race followed to the death, a tyrant in the eyes of the border alien races, and a world-destroyer in the eyes of the sea race.

It could be said that the Black King ended the law of the jungle on this continent and brought the civilization of this continent to its peak.

But it wasn't without disadvantages. After peace, Mystics, that is, transcendents, were no longer urgently needed, and their status dropped sharply, especially Extreme Cultivators. After 1350 of the Dark Era, they almost faded out of people's sight.

Even so, there were still many records of Extreme Cultivator secret techniques left on this continent. What Su Xiao collected were exactly these things.

The era of gods lasted for thousands of years. That was the most glorious era of eternal power, and the development of techniques far exceeded the present.

Although the things Su Xiao collected couldn't directly improve the sword technique level, they could broaden his horizons and his development of sword techniques, etc.

Unknowingly, Su Xiao was immersed in this knowledge. Extreme Cultivators were crazy, not crazy in personality, but in pursuit.

Some Extreme Cultivators, in order to temper themselves, even extracted the eternal power from their bodies, and then tried to travel across the entire continent with broken bodies, without sleep, without food, and without replenishing necessary water.

They wanted to let the eternal power return to their bodies, not to actively absorb it, but to make the eternal power a part of the body through the tempering of the body, just like blood.

As long as they were successful Extreme Cultivators, Mystics would avoid them. Even the former "gods" would not easily provoke these people. Their combat power was shockingly strong.

This knowledge attracted Su Xiao, especially the techniques recorded by those Extreme Cultivators.

Unknowingly, two days passed. During this period, Su Xiao completely ignored whether the rule-breaker appeared. Compared to this knowledge, the rule-breaker could go to hell.

【Prompt: Sword Technique Master has been upgraded to lv. 26.】

Su Xiao was holding a stone slab to check and didn't notice the prompt from the Reincarnation Paradise at all. When he came back to his senses, he was obviously somewhat surprised.

Since his sword technique was upgraded to the Master level, he had never upgraded his sword technique through his own efforts, because the time for each mission was limited. Sword technique, besides having some realization, was a matter of grinding, accumulating bit by bit. Without the help of a special environment, it would be very good to upgrade a level of Sword Technique Master in a few years, or even a dozen years.

And the sword technique upgraded through the Reincarnation Paradise, as long as it was tempered by high-intensity combat, had a better effect than the sword technique upgraded by time.

Both had their own strengths. The former was good at fighting, the latter was good at cultivating. In terms of teaching disciples, the former was completely crushed by the latter. This was the difference between the practical school and the academic school.

Su Xiao didn't have the hobby of teaching apprentices, so the Reincarnation Paradise's upgrade method was more suitable for him. But this time, he actually upgraded two levels of Sword Technique Master through his own efforts.

Su Xiao put down the palm-sized stone slab, placed the sheathed Checking Zhan Long Shan flat on his legs, and tried to enter meditation.

A moment later, Su Xiao opened his eyes and concluded that he would never develop toward the "cultivation" school of sword techniques in his life. That kind was more suitable for kind-faced old men.

"Being able to kill the enemy is enough."

Su Xiao held the scabbard of Checking Zhan Long Shan, and blood energy clung to it. He didn't know how many enemies he had killed with Checking Zhan Long Shan. Checking Zhan Long Shan couldn't be called a demon blade, because compared to Checking Zhan Long Shan, a demon blade was just a little brother. This was already a magic blade harboring the Blade Demon Spirit. ===== CHAPTER 1860 =====
