One day, half a month later, Fang Chen's body was surrounded by a strong Essence of Water. He suddenly opened his eyes.
"In half a month, I haven't had a breakthrough in the Essence of Water, but my Flowing Water Swordsmanship has reached the Small Success Level," Fang Chen whispered.
The Flowing Water Swordsmanship was a Rank Six Cultivation Technique. It was very powerful, and the Flowing Water Swordsmanship that had reached the Small Success Level was even more powerful.
"Let's try again."
Fang Chen slowly stood up and said in a low voice.
Then, he entered the first floor of the Heaven Pagoda again.
"Human, you've had a breakthrough," the skinny old man stared at Fang Chen and asked.
"I've had a breakthrough," Fang Chen said.
"Okay, let me try," the skinny old man said.
For a long time, he had been very lonely here. Now that a warrior had come here, of course, he had to play with him.
"Take this!"
Fang Chen shouted and waved the Hidden Star Sword in his hand. A strong Essence of Water emerged around him, and the Flowing Water Swordsmanship at the Small Success Level was fully activated.
Suddenly, countless water ripples appeared in the sky. These water ripples turned into water splashes under the control of Fang Chen. The water splashes contained an extremely majestic Sword Essence.
Crash!
Above Fang Chen's head, the Golden Dharma Idol Sword was activated. A strong Sword Essence shot out from the Golden Dharma Idol Sword and poured into Fang Chen's Hidden Star Sword.
This was Fang Chen's strongest attack. If even this move couldn't defeat the skinny old man, then he could only cultivate again.
"Hmm."
The skinny old man noticed the abnormality of Fang Chen's Dharma Idol. His face changed slightly, and he immediately used Hadouken.
During this time, whenever Fang Chen came to challenge him, the skinny old man would use Hadouken against Fang Chen. The result was that Fang Chen was blown away by Hadouken.
Hadouken was a unique skill of the Water God Sect. It was very powerful. Moreover, Hadouken contained the Perfect Essence of Water, which allowed Fang Chen to deeply understand the mysteries of the Essence of Water.
Rumble
The skinny old man used his Oscillating Fist and punched towards Fang Chen.
At the same time, the latter controlled the water in the sky and blasted it toward the Fluctuating Fist Aura.
Bang
After the two collided, the shockwave of the fist shattered Fang Chen's water splashes. However, one of the water splashes still slipped through the net.
Puchi
This water splash dodged the fluctuating fist light and hit the skinny old man's body. In an instant, the skinny old man's clothes were torn apart.
The skinny old man lowered his head and looked at his tattered clothes. A smile of admiration appeared on his face.
"Human, your improvement is very fast," the skinny old man said.
Fang Chen curled his lips, feeling a little helpless. Even the lesser mastery of the Flowing Water Swordsmanship couldn't defeat the skinny old man.
However, being able to hit the skinny old man was still a small improvement.
Just as Fang Chen was about to speak, the Essence of Water suddenly vibrated in his mind. Then, his face became very serious and he hurriedly left the Heaven Pagoda.
Just a moment ago, Fang Chen suddenly had an epiphany. He had a new understanding of the Essence of Water and needed to quickly go into seclusion to cultivate.
Seeing Fang Chen leave, the skinny old man nodded his head in satisfaction.
"Although this kid's strength is a little weak, he has great potential," the skinny old man said.
Especially when the skinny old man felt Fang Chen's golden Dharma Idol, he was a little puzzled. A Dharma Idol that even he couldn't see through was really strange.
"It's a pity that this kid was born to be a sword cultivator," the skinny old man said with a little loneliness.
The Water God Sect was good at Water Cultivation Techniques. Therefore, when looking for a successor, they hoped to find a Water Warrior.
Although Fang Chen also had the Essence of Water, the skinny old man knew that he was a natural Sword Cultivator. He was most suitable for the Way of the Sword.
In the Heaven Pagoda, Fang Chen sat cross-legged. In his mind, he recalled the Oscillating Fist that the skinny old man had just used. The fist radiance contained a majestic Essence of Water.
In his soul, there was a vast ocean. There were surging waves in the ocean. Fang Chen carefully observed every wave that flew up.
Time passed bit by bit. The Essence of Water around him became more and more intense.
After about six hours, the vast ocean in Fang Chen's mind suddenly disappeared. Then, a deafening sound came from Fang Chen's body.
Fang Chen suddenly opened his eyes. There was a hint of joy on his face.
After six hours of enlightenment, he finally discovered the true essence of the Essence of Water.
"Breakthrough."
Fang Chen shouted. The aura of the Essence of Water around him rose rapidly. In a short while, it rose to the critical point. Then, it easily broke through to the third minor realm.
When the state of water rose to the third minor realm, Fang Chen's mind suddenly opened up. Countless ripples of water filled his mind and spun around.
"Essence of Water, the third minor realm."
There was a hint of joy on Fang Chen's face.
In more than half a month, he had raised the Essence of Water to the third minor realm. It could be considered a great improvement.
Of course, this was all thanks to the skinny old man on the first floor of the Heaven Pagoda.
"Now, I think I should have the strength to defeat the skinny old man," Fang Chen said to himself.
Half a month ago, he couldn't even touch the skinny old man's clothes. Half a month later, he was confident that he could defeat the skinny old man.
Even the skinny old man blushed with shame at such a speed of growth.
Since the Essence of Water had just broken through, Fang Chen didn't rush to challenge the skinny old man. Instead, he first stabilized the Essence of Water.
After a day, he completely stabilized the Essence of Water. At this time, Fang Chen stood up and entered the first floor of the Heaven Pagoda.
"Senior, I think I should be able to defeat you this time." Fang Chen cupped his hands and said to the skinny old man.
"Oh."
Hearing this, the skinny old man's eyes lit up. He carefully sized up Fang Chen. Then, he discovered that Fang Chen's Essence of Water had reached the third minor realm.
"Kid, I was right. You have great potential. If there are no accidents, you will definitely be famous in the Ancient Sword Continent." The skinny old man laughed.
Fang Chen's Essence of Water could reach the third minor realm. He was also very happy.
"Senior, I am going to make my move." Fang Chen said.
"Don't worry. Make your move." The skinny old man said.
Swoosh
The third minor realm of the Essence of Water instantly emerged. Then, Fang Chen displayed the Small Success Level of the Flowing Water Swordsmanship.
In the sky, countless water splashes with biting cold Sword Essence pierced towards the skinny old man.
This attack was clean and neat.
The skinny old man's Hadouken was actually unable to block Fang Chen's attack.
Puchi
Countless water splashes directly shattered the skinny old man's Hadouken and then bombarded the skinny old man's body.
Hiss Hiss Hiss
The skinny old man's body slowly collapsed.
"Human, you have passed the first level. You can choose any treasure on the first floor."
After the skinny old man finished speaking, his body collapsed in the first floor.
Seeing this scene, he was a little disappointed. After fighting with the skinny old man for more than half a month, he couldn't accept this fact for a while.
"Senior."
Fang Chen called out, but no one responded.
In the end, Fang Chen shook his head and restrained his emotions.
Huala
At this moment, countless weapons appeared on the first floor. These weapons were placed in an orderly manner on the first floor.
"These are the weapons of the Water God Sect." Fang Chen thought to himself.
Fang Chen only took a cursory look and found that the lowest grade of these weapons was a Spiritual Grade weapon. There were also many Profound Grade weapons.
"What treasure should I choose?" Fang Chen was puzzled.
"As a sword cultivator, you already have the Hidden Star Sword. There is no need to choose a weapon. Choose some other treasures." Ancestor Bronze reminded.
Fang Chen nodded and then left the weapons area and walked to the treasure area.
There were many weapons on the first floor, but very few treasures.
Fang Chen took a closer look. There were a total of five Utmost Treasures here.
"Only five treasures." Fang Chen was a little puzzled, but he still walked to the treasures and began to choose.
"Watercloud Shuttle, infused with the Essence of Water. It can explode with the combat power of the Second Level of the Spiritual Vortex Realm."
"Waterfall, infused with the Essence of Water. During battle, it can change its form at will. It is extremely powerful."
The five treasures were all Water Attribute treasures. Fang Chen took a closer look and finally fixed his eyes on a jade pendant.
"Waterjade, this is an auxiliary treasure. It contains a majestic Essence of Water. The warrior who wears this jade pendant can increase his comprehension of the Essence of Water."
When Fang Chen saw the Aqua Jade, a smile appeared on his face. He said, "This is it."
Then, Fang Chen picked up the Waterjade and wore it around his neck. Suddenly, a cool feeling came from the Waterjade. In an instant, Fang Chen felt the Essence of Water in his mind rolling.
"Good stuff."
The other four true treasures were all combat-type true treasures. Only this one was an auxiliary true treasure.
If it was someone else, they might want to increase their strength and choose the other four treasures. But Fang Chen chose the auxiliary treasure, the Waterjade.
Through his conversation with the skinny old man, Fang Chen knew that after passing the first level's test, he could only choose one treasure because it had to be left for the later generations. As for the weapons, he could take any.
After Fang Chen chose the Waterjade, he naturally didn't hold back. With a wave of his sleeve, he put all the weapons into his spatial ring.
Although these weapons were useless to him, he could give them away.
"I wonder how powerful the second level's inheritance is."
After Fang Chen put away the weapons, he looked at the entrance to the second level with a burning gaze.
The Water God Sect's treasures weren't very useful to Fang Chen. But as for the inheritance, Fang Chen cared a lot about it.
When Fang Chen obtained the treasures, the priest in the Earth City suddenly opened his eyes. His face was full of smiles.
"Hahaha, I've finally researched this array formation. The inheritance treasures in the Earth City Pagoda all belong to me, the priest." The priest laughed wildly.
After spending half a month, he had successfully upgraded the Bloody Soul Extinguishing Array by one level. This allowed the Priest to vaguely touch the threshold of the Array Grandmaster Array.
