A martial artist at the ninth level of the Spiritual Vortex Realm had nine Spiritual Vortices in his Qi Sea.
The nine Spiritual Vortices complemented each other and circled around each other. Endless Spiritual Qi flowed out from the nine Spiritual Vortices.
Once one broke through to the Real Martial Realm, the first step was to change the Spiritual Vortices.
The nine Spiritual Vortices would merge together to form a single Spiritual Vortex.
This single Spiritual Vortex contained all the characteristics of the nine Spiritual Vortices. It was very powerful and the Spiritual Qi it contained was even more majestic.
Fang Chen glanced at the center of his Qi Sea. The Spiritual Vortex that looked like an eye was spinning rapidly. Wisps of Spiritual Qi were spewing out. His face was full of smiles.
Now, he had finally stepped into the Real Martial Realm.
Moreover, he had passed the 12th Tribulation, which was like a dream.
"My physical body reached the Late-stage of the Body Refining Realm at the critical moment of the 12th Tribulation."
Speaking of his physical body, Fang Chen was very excited.
The Late-stage of the Body Refining Realm's Sword Body was already the limit. His defense had increased in all aspects.
Of course, this was only one of the benefits.
In short, when the Sword Body reached the limit, Fang Chen's understanding of the Way of the Sword became more profound.
When he used his swordsmanship, there was an additional boost in power.
Then, he did a simple check of his body. Then, with a thought, the aura of the Real Martial Realm spread out.
"This …"
When he sensed the aura of the Real Martial Realm around him, Fang Chen's face was full of astonishment.
Then, a stormy sea rose in his heart.
Yes, it was a stormy sea.
Fang Chen clenched his fists tightly. Instantly, he could feel a powerful force, as though it could shatter the void.
"Lv 4 True Martial Realm!"
Fang Chen's face was filled with ecstasy.
After passing the Tribulation, his cultivation had increased to Lv 4 True Martial Realm. This made Fang Chen feel incredulous.
"Could this be the benefit of the 12th Tribulation?"
Fang Chen muttered to himself. At this moment, he was already shocked.
It was much more difficult for a True Martial Realm expert to increase his cultivation compared to a Spiritual Vortex Realm expert.
Some True Martial Realm experts would spend years or even decades cultivating, but Fang Chen had just crossed the True Martial Realm Thunder Tribulation, and his cultivation had already reached the 4th level of the True Martial Realm.
"It's too dreamy." Fang Chen shook his head and said softly.
After a long time, Fang Chen tried his best to suppress the excitement in his heart and calmed down.
"As expected of the 12th Heaven Tribulation, it's so powerful. It actually raised my cultivation to Lv 4 of the True Martial Realm."
After pondering for a long time, Fang Chen couldn't help but sigh at the power of the twelfth-level tribulation.
When he was in the Heavenly Void Secret Realm, Star and Moon did not have such an exaggerated increase in strength even when they underwent the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation.
However, after Star and Moon reached the Genuine Martial Arts Realm, their strength was also abnormally strong.
After pondering for a while, Fang Chen finally looked away. He was the first martial artist to cross the 12th Heaven Tribulation in nearly ten thousand years. Just the fact that he had crossed the 12th Heaven Tribulation alone would cause a stir.
After carefully inspecting his body, Fang Chen found that after his cultivation reached the 4th level of the True Martial Realm, his Sword Will had also silently broken through to the second grade.
"Maybe I broke through when I was crossing the tribulation." Fang Chen muttered to himself.
In short, Fang Chen's cultivation had increased in all aspects.
"Let's try the Mu Sen Swordsmanship."
Fang Chen suddenly stood up, held the Hidden Star Sword in his hand, and displayed the Mu Sen Swordsmanship.
In an instant, countless Wood Elemental Sword Radiance appeared in the cave. These Sword Radiance merged together at a speed invisible to the naked eye, forming a peerless sword.
In the end, this terrifying Sword Radiance dissipated in the void.
"So powerful."
Fang Chen couldn't help but exclaim.
The Mu Sen Swordsmanship had also reached the Perfection of Martial Arts.
This meant that Fang Chen's five Sword Techniques had all reached the Perfection of Martial Arts. He could finally start practicing the Five Elements Sword Techniques.
Fang Chen could feel the change in his strength.
With Fang Chen's current strength, he could easily defeat a martial artist at the 4th level of the True Martial Realm. He could even challenge a martial artist at the 5th level of the True Martial Realm.
This was the strength of the 12th Heaven Tribulation.
However, Fang Chen was not in a hurry to practice the Five Elements Sword Techniques. Instead, he wanted to confirm where he was.
Fang Chen held the Hidden Star Sword in his hand, surrounded by an aura, and carefully came out of the cave.
He looked around and found that he was still in the canyon where he had crossed the tribulation.
"Well, it's here."
Seeing the familiar canyon, Fang Chen grinned.
Then, he came to the center of the canyon. Seeing the sorry state of the canyon, Fang Chen shook his head slightly and finally walked out of the canyon.
After a while, Fang Chen appeared in the wilderness.
Suddenly, Fang Chen felt that the air around him was filled with majestic Sword Qi.
"This feeling is so familiar."
Fang Chen muttered to himself. Immediately, Sword Intent spread out from his body and blended with the Sword Qi in the air.
In an instant, Fang Chen's face changed and he cried out, "Is this the Sword Cultivator's Heaven?"
Fang Chen had been taken to the Sword Cultivator's Heaven by the head in the three-legged, two-eared cauldron and had fought with the geniuses there.
Fang Chen's memory of that time was still fresh in his mind.
At this moment, the familiar Sword Cultivator's aura hit him in the face again.
Fang Chen was sure that this was the Sword Cultivator's Heaven.
"Why am I in the Sword Cultivator's Heaven? What's going on?"
Fang Chen's heart was filled with countless questions.
Where was the Sword Cultivator's Heaven? Why was he there?
After racking his brains, Fang Chen still couldn't figure out the reason. In the end, he gave up.
"Could it be that the three-legged, two-eared cauldron brought me here?"
Fang Chen said softly.
Just as Fang Chen was thinking, several voices came from afar.
Shortly after, a few True Martial Realm martial artists flew over from afar.
They saw Fang Chen and instantly landed on the ground.
"There's a warrior here." One of the men said in a low voice.
"Let's go and ask." Another warrior said.
The three warriors quickly came to Fang Chen's side. The leader asked in a deep voice, "Boy, you came out of the canyon."
Fang Chen saw this and shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
"Hmm, have you seen any suspicious characters?" another warrior asked.
"No." Fang Chen said.
The last warrior narrowed his eyes and glanced at Fang Chen. Then he said, "A warrior who just entered the True Martial Realm dares to come here. You're courting death."
"What's going on here?" Fang Chen suddenly asked.
"Get out of here." The leader said coldly.
Soon after, the three warriors instantly entered the canyon.
Fang Chen saw this and his eyes flickered.
Ever since Fang Chen learned that this was the Sword Cultivator's Heaven, he was extremely excited.
The Sword Cultivator's Heaven. The reason why it was called the Sword Cultivator's Heaven was because there was a vast amount of Sword Qi in the air.
Even the slightest aptitude could be improved here.
Not long after, Fang Chen saw the Golden Sword City.
Then, Fang Chen entered the Golden Sword City.
Now, he knew nothing about the Sword Cultivator's Heaven. He needed to find someone to ask about it.
After arriving, Fang Chen found a passerby and asked, "Little brother, may I ask where I can get information in Golden Sword City?"
"You're from another city, right?" The warrior carefully observed Fang Chen.
Fang Chen nodded. "There's an information pavilion in the center of Golden Sword City. You can go there to buy information."
"Many thanks, little brother."
Fang Chen followed the young man's directions and arrived at the Information Pavilion.
"What do you need?" asked the staff member.
"I want detailed information about this place," said Fang Chen.
"Do you want information about Golden Sword City or the entire Sword Burial Prefecture?" The staff member raised his head and glanced at Fang Chen.
"Sword Burial Prefecture."
Although Fang Chen didn't know what the Sword Burial Prefecture was, his intuition told him that the Sword Burial Prefecture was related to the Sword Cultivator's Heaven.
"Detailed information will cost one hundred violet crystals. Simple information will only cost thirty violet crystals," said the staff member.
Hearing the words Purple Crystal, Fang Chen was also stunned.
The currency used here was actually Purple Crystal Stones.
Thinking of this, Fang Chen felt a bit embarrassed. He had long since used up all the violet crystals in his spatial ring. He only had top grade spirit stones left.
"Excuse me, can I use spirit stones?"
Fang Chen asked embarrassedly.
The staff member looked at Fang Chen with surprise.
