Another month had passed, and the atmosphere within the cultivation chamber grew increasingly heavy.

Xu Ping stood quietly in place, surrounded by an almost imperceptible aura of Sword Qi.

This Sword Qi was no longer sharp and fierce, but carried a gentle and peaceful yet unfathomable presence.

Finally, in a tranquil moment, Xu Ping gently shook the wooden sword in his hand.

In an instant, a soft and radiant light blossomed from the sword's tip.

The light was not dazzlingly bright, but spread like moonlight, gentle and far-reaching.

The next instant.

"Hoo!"

Xu Ping exhaled a long breath, slowly waking from the miraculous state of enlightenment.

He opened his eyes slowly, a sharp gleam seemingly flashing through his gaze.

At this moment, he appeared bewildered, as if he had just endured a long and deep dream, momentarily unsure of his whereabouts.

Only after a long daze did he gradually regain his senses.

Feeling the surging Spiritual Power within him, and the sword Dao insights brimming in his mind.

"I have completely... comprehended Sword Light Like a Rainbow?" Xu Ping murmured to himself.

A strong sense of joy filled his heart and soul, and he couldn't help but smile, which soon turned into a broad grin, culminating in hearty laughter that echoed through the cultivation chamber:

"Hahaha..."

"After years of effort, I have finally entered the second stage of Sword Dao—Sword Light Like a Rainbow!!"

He had comprehended Sword Qi Thunder Sound during the fifth level of Qi Cultivation, yet only fully grasped Sword Light Like a Rainbow by the Late-Stage Foundation Establishment.

And this was with the assistance of the proficiency panel.

It's no wonder, even those peerless Sword Cultivators fully comprehend Sword Light Like a Rainbow at the middle stage of the Golden Core, or even late-stage Golden Core, Perfection Level.

It is hard to imagine how tough it must be to fully comprehend the third stage of Sword Dao—Sword Light Diversification.

Such Sword Cultivators are likely among the elite even as Nascent Soul Cultivators.

...

As his emotions calmed slightly, Xu Ping activated the proficiency panel.

[Primordial Sword Skill Perfection: ∞]

"It's finally perfect!" Xu Ping couldn't help but be filled with deep emotion.

Though he had perfected numerous skills over the years.

The boost to his combat power brought by the perfection of the Primordial Sword Skill likely equaled a major realm breakthrough.

Xu Ping's gaze shifted, landing on the Magical Treasure Wooden Sword in his hand.

At this moment, a sudden urge surged within him to unleash a powerful strike.

Fortunately, he managed to restrain himself.

If he were to unleash it, not only would the cultivation chamber be destroyed, but the array would likely be obliterated too.

At this moment, a strange yet wondrous feeling quietly emerged in his heart.

Xu Ping vaguely felt that he could merge completely with the Magical Treasure Wooden Sword in his hand.

"Body Fusion?"

Xu Ping murmured softly, his expression filled with contemplation.

Afterward, he slowly left the cultivation chamber.

Warm sunlight cascaded gently upon him, bringing traces of warmth.

He leisurely made his way to the open field.

Xu Ping stood firm, holding his sword in one hand, and closed his eyes.

He calmed his mind, focusing entirely on feeling that wondrous sense of merging with the sword.

Time flowed gently in the silence.

The feeling of merging with the sword grew increasingly intense, like streams converging into mighty rivers.

When this feeling peaked!

Xu Ping opened his eyes suddenly, a sharp gleam flashed through them.

The next moment.

Mana surged around Xu Ping, causing the Magical Treasure Wooden Sword to hum and its blade to shine brightly.

"Shoo!"

Accompanied by a sharp sound breaking the air, his figure vanished instantly from his original spot.

In the blink of an eye, he appeared on a small hill on Thousand Leaves Mountain.

The soft breeze gently fluttered his hair and clothes as Xu Ping stood quietly at the hilltop, gazing at the open field he had just left. His mouth unconsciously curved into a satisfied smile.

"This... truly is Sword Flight!"

Xu Ping murmured to himself, his tone filled with a strong sense of joy.

Sword Flight, a distinctive escape technique, is renowned in the cultivation realm.

It's known that the reason Sword Cultivators are widely famed in the cultivation realm isn't solely because of their unparalleled offense.

Their unique escape technique—Sword Flight—is undoubtedly top-tier as well.

Facing Sword Cultivators, many cultivators find themselves in the plight of being unable to compete in combat or flee!

This is the fundamental reason why Sword Cultivators hold such tremendous renown in the cultivation world.

Xu Ping secretly compared Sword Flight with the Perfection Level Elemental Magnetic Escape Skill.

Through this comparison, he was surprised to discover that Sword Flight was indeed faster by more than a notch than the Perfection Level Elemental Magnetic Escape Skill.

"At this speed, perhaps even Early-Stage Golden Core Cultivators are far behind me." Xu Ping's eyes flashed with excitement and thrill.

After all, while the Perfection Level Elemental Magnetic Escape Skill is considered one of the fastest among Fake Pill Cultivators, it still falls slightly short compared to true Golden Core Level escape techniques.

But now, with mastery over Sword Flight, the situation is entirely different.

"Song Fei, heaven is surely against you!" Xu Ping's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness.

Before mastering Sword Flight, Song Fei still had a fair chance of escaping pursuit using speed.

Yet now, such a possibility has significantly diminished.

However, Xu Ping wasn't recklessly driven by emotion, he didn't act impulsively.

After all, he had just barely broken through to the Sword Light Like a Rainbow stage; regardless of swordsmanship or escape technique, his familiarity was yet to be deep.

It's better to wait until he can use them effortlessly and proficiently before seeking out Song Fei.

...

...

In the following days, Xu Ping focused on adapting to his swordsmanship after mastery of Sword Light Like a Rainbow and the top-tier escape technique, Sword Flight.

Even with his profound strength at the time, it took a full five days to cultivate these two skills to a seamless, effortless level.

That day at noon.

In the pavilion on Thousand Leaves Mountain.

Xu Ping was savoring Spirit Tea served by the Water Lake Mouse.

Swoosh!

A Foundation Establishment Stage Escape Light, carrying waves of surging Spiritual Power, streaked like a meteor swiftly traveling from beyond the Purple Lord Mountain.
