Infinite Regressor: SSS-Ranked Skill In Cultivation World!
Chapter 36: Perfection Realm!

Chapter 36: Perfection Realm!

From afar, Shi Jing was like a dot on top of the summit. The cold wind blew against his face, but couldn’t freeze him.

His sword intent hummed, as though it was humming the tone of autumn, followed by the circulation of his spiritual essence.

With a soft whisper, he raised his silver sword, aiming at the heavens.

"A single drop conceal my sword."

His sword moved in an arc while forming a single droplet that was illusionary.

"Ten drops to form my sword intent!"

This single droplet shudder before dissipating, transforming into two, three, five, then ten drops.

It didn’t stop there.

These droplet was like a living organism, replicating itself. At the same time, Shi Jing frowned at the consumption of his spiritual essence.

Finally, after the 61th drop, he stopped.

"This is my limit! At the perfection realm of the autumn stroke, I can form 61 drop. If one day, I can reach 81 drop, then that is when I step into the realm of Great-Perfection!"

The sixty one droplets float in the air. Seeing this, he was curious.

Pushed by curiosity, he swung his sword vertically.

Sixty one drop congealed together to slash the sky, slicing the heavenly cloud above!

Boom!

The sea of clouds was left with a clean line in the middle.

He didn’t expect the single sword stroke to contain such might.

"With this strike, I wonder if I can kill a wandering sea realm expert!"

He couldn’t test that thought yet and placed his attention on the rewards.

The first reward was better saved for later.

Due to his diligent effort over the months, it would be a waste to use the cultivation stage reward now.

This is because he was just a step away from foundation establishment.

So naturally, he decided to postpone it.

Perhaps it would be better to use this reward when he reach the peak of foundation establishment.

As for the Ghostly Concealment cloak, this put a smile on his face.

[Ghostly Concealment Cloak: Enhances the effect of the ghostly concealment art. Greatly conceal wearer from divination, deduction, or spiritual senses.]

The cloak was black and white in color. At a glance, it was similar to the Sword Cloud Manor uniform. But it was much thinner, almost transparent.

"It’s better if I wore this underneath my uniform..." He thought.

The moment he put it on, the mist from the ghostly concealment boiled.

Before, the mist would cover the surface of his body, but now, they retracted within the thin surface of the cloak.

As for the spring mist cloud sword art, it was only at the minor mastery. This was not worth mentioning.

After Shi Jing displayed the might of the Perfection Realm Autumn Stroke, he unknowingly caused an uproar among the outer courts.

This was due to the phenomenon left behind, the sight of the clouds being parted.

No one knew where it originated from. The only thing they knew was that it occured in the outer court.

Lin Xue happened to hear this rumor, causing her to think of a particular figure. It was that peculiar youth with golden pupil.

"It can’t be... Even I cannot perform that sword stroke." She thought to herself.

"Lin Xue, you have been slacking lately. It’s better to spend time in seclusion to form your sword intent instead of visiting that useless brat!"

Elder Xing Yue sighed. She was an inner court elder at the Dao Seed Realm. Her status is above that of Elder Wang, and much higher than Elder Chen.

Hearing about rumors of Lin Xue wasting her time visiting that infamous youth, she decided to intervene and placed Lin Xue in isolation.

Even now, Lin Xue was reluctant and blamed Xing Yue for her misunderstanding.

"This is for your own good," Xing Yue softly whispered.

Lin Xue bit her lip as she helplessly retorted.

"Teacher, you don’t understand..."

"I am a Dao Seed Realm powerhouse, how can I not understand? Wasting your time with a body tempering junior will do nothing but harm your dao heart!"

Lin Xue didn’t refute Xing Yue’s words and remained silent.

...

On the sixth month of Shi Jing seclusion.

"Finally! I have accumulate my essence to its limit. All I need now is the foundation establishment pill in order to increase my chances at breaking through!"

Shi Jing left his cultivation cave, feeling the warm ray of sunlight while being accompanied by cold winter wind.

Six months has passed since his entry into the Sword Cloud Manor.

He had also turned fourteen.

During these six months, his accumulation grew greatly.

Firstly, his essence has reached the tipping point of Peak Qi-Refinement.

At the same time, with the cultivation reward, if he wanted to, he could breakthrough instantly, but he decided to wait.

Secondly, his One Autumn Stroke sword art has reached perfection.

If he were to unleash its full might, perhaps he could even injure a Wandering Sea expert in a clash.

This is not including Elder Wang from his last life, who was caught off guard.

Beside that case, with the newly obtained ghostly concealment cloak, Shi Jing was confident in killing a Wandering Sea expert given the right circumstance!

This idea alone is frightening.

A fourteen year old killing a Wandering Sea expert? Inconceivable!

At this moment, the sun was high in the sky.

Shi Jing walked down the crowded road. He still wore an outer disciple robe with one cloud engravings.

However, his appearance has changed considerably. The most noticeable thing is his height. Six month ago, he was shorter than Lin Xue.

If he were to meet Lin Xue again, even she would be surprised by this change.

At the same time, his eyes was much more refined. Before, it was an unsheath sword, but now, it looked ordinary, like a hidden blade waiting to strike.

The first place he visit was the "Sword Cloud Repository".

Walking past the familiar door, he was greeted with a bustling line of people. At the front desk is Zhao Ping, whose appearance remain unchanged.

Six month has not changed this man one bit.

The same cannot be said for Shi Jing.

Zhao Ping didn’t recognized him with the increased in his height as well as other minor details.

However, Shi Jing was patient as he waited in line, his gaze observing the people around him without drawing attention to himself.

Everyone in line here is clearly at least Qi-Refinement and an outer disciple. This is because they were all signing up to enter the Inner Court competition.

Shi Jing was here for the same purpose.

After a brief moment of time, he finally got up front.

"Senior brother, I’m here to update my information," He said, his voice low and deep.

Zhao Ping was too busy to look up as he questioned.

"State your name, cultivation, and current status."

Hearing this, Shi Jing smile, his voice lowered to a whisper.

"Shi Jing, Early-Qi Refinement, Outer Disciple."

Zhao Ping pen paused, finally, he raised his head.

Seeing Shi Jing young and pale face, he was startled. If it was before, he would see a sea of sword aiming at him.

But now, Shi Jing was extremely ordinary in his eyes.

"Junior brother Jing!"
