Now that he had fused a Major Dao, this multiple had increased to about five times.
In other words, one day of cultivation for him was equivalent to thirty-five days of cultivation for an ordinary cultivator.
And this was only the cultivation method. In normal battles, the recovery speed of Lu Yuan’s spiritual energy was not something that an ordinary cultivator could compare to.
As such, he was able to use many powerful divine abilities with his current cultivation of Level 1 of the Nascent Soul Stage.
In addition to the transformation of his Dharma Idol, although his cultivation base seemed to have not improved in the past 100 years, his combat strength had increased by many times.
From this, it could be seen that a cultivator’s strength was not completely determined by his own cultivation.
It was also affected by many other factors.
However, cultivation was still the foundation of a cultivator. Lu Yuan felt that he could now focus on improving his cultivation.
He didn’t need much. He just needed to advance to the fifth level of the Nascent Soul Stage.
If he was in the Disha cities, Lu Yuan felt that the time he spent to advance by one level would probably take about sixty years.
However, in this place, it might only take him half or even lesser than sixty years of cultivation.
Lu Yuan estimated that if he went all out to increase his cultivation.
In about twenty to twenty-five years, he would be able to increase his cultivation by one level.
In other words, in two hundred years at most, he would be able to reach the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage and break through to the Apotheosis Stage.
At that time, his lifespan would have just reached 600 years old, which was still a lot lesser than the 1,000-year lifespan of the Nascent Soul Stage.
It was enough for him to break through to the Apottheosis Stage.
And this cultivation was without taking into account medicinal pills or other auxiliary circumstances.
If he had enough medicinal pills to assist him, he might not even need 200 years to reach the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage.
The prerequisite for all of this was that he had so much time to cultivate peacefully.
At present, he did not know much about the Big Dipper Sword Domain.
He also did not know which Big Dipper Sword Domain he was going to next.
However, considering the importance Song Zheng had placed on him before, Lu Yuan felt that although he had only shown a Dharma Sword, this Dharma Idol Sword should be able to earn him the name of a heavenly pride.
As for talents, they would be treated seriously no matter which Sword Domain it was.
Moreover, Lu Yuan had a way out.
He had his connections in the current Spirit Sword Sect.
Xu Wan’er was currently in the Guilt Star Sword Domain of the thirty-six Big Dipper Sword Domains.
This place was also ranked second among all the Sword Domains. Its overall strength was shocking.
Originally, Lu Yuan wanted to directly enter the Big Dipper Sword Domain through his relationship with Xu Wan’er.
However, when he found out about the situation in the Guilt Star Sword Domain. Lu Yuan decisively chose to give up.
Because the Guilt Star Sword Domain is the most competitive among all the Sword Domains.
This was likely because the Sword Intent of the Guilt Star Sword Domain emphasized that ‘even death cannot atone for any sins’.
Their sword intent needed to be cultivated by killing evil spirits.
Xu Wa’er’s overwhelming blood aura back then was not entirely due to her own Dharma Idol.
It also had a lot to do with the Guilt Star Sword Intent.
It was precisely because of the uniqueness of their Sword Intent that the sword cultivators of the Guilt Star Sword Domain were not as combative as those of the Killer Star Sword Domain.
They were the most diligent people among all the sword domains in the sect!
Almost all of the disciples in the Sword Domain were mission experts of the Spirit Sword Sect.
Disciples in other Sword Domains might have trained for ten years and cultivated for a hundred years.
However, the people from the Guilt Star Sword Domain were the complete opposite. They had trained for 100 years and cultivated for 10 years.
Letting Lu Yuan go to such a Sword Domain is equivalent to letting him leave Spirit Sword Sect directly.
He was not interested in executing justice or slaying devils.
Thus, after giving up on the idea of going to the Guilt Star Sword Domain, Lu Yuan naturally did not bother Xu Wan’er anymore.
He was even worried that Xu Wan’er would come to help.
Unless it was absolutely necessary, he would never use this relationship to enter the Big Dipper Sword Domain.
And among all the sword domains, Lu Yuan was most satisfied with the Wealth Star, Solitary Star and Leisure Star.
The first was the Sword Domain which was dedicated to earning resources for the Spirit Sword Sect.
The second place was the gathering place of the loners in the Spirit Sword Sect. The cultivator inside were all loners who liked to act alone.
The third Sword Domain was the place where the Spirit Sword Sect placed the idlers.
Many disciples who didn’t seek to improve but had some talent, or are relatives and descendants in the sect, were placed in this Sword Domain.
Due to the uniqueness of these three Sword Domains, they were not considered particularly eye-catching among all the Sword Domains. Only the Wealth Star Sword Domain was slightly more high-profile.
The last two Sword Domains could be considered the least eye-catching places among all the Sword Domains.
Regardless of whether it was the business atmosphere of the Wealth Star Sword Domain, the loner atmosphere of the Solitary Star Sword Domain, or the trash land of the Leisure Star Sword Domain, they were all the best choices in Lu Yuan’s heart.
What he wanted to be the most now was a rich, independent, and unambitious guy.
Unfortunately, he could not choose which Sword Domain he wanted to go to!
Thinking about the possibility of missing the three Sword Domains, Lu Yuan is very heartbroken.
But it didn’t matter. Lu Yuan also learned about a special rule in Spirit Sword Sect.
That was, as long as he obtained the approval of the Sword Domain’s elder or the agreement of other Sword Domain’s elders, he had the opportunity to enter other Sword Domains to cultivate through an exchange.
Even if he had the means to change his appearance and join other sword domains, it was not impossible.
However, if he wanted to change his appearance, he needed to make a lot of preparations.
At this moment, Lu Yuan was making these preparations.
Although he didn’t know which Sword Domain he would go to in the future, as long as he wasn’t satisfied with that Sword Domain, he could only think of a way to get himself sent to these three Sword Domains.
On the tenth day after Lu Yuan arrived at the Fourth Heaven, someone finally arrived at his residence.
An ancient bird, the Sun Eagle, suddenly stopped in front of his residence.
Sensing the other party’s arrival, Lu Yuan walked out of the residence.
Looking at the armoured female general standing on the Sun Eagle, Lu Yuan’s mind began to spin rapidly, searching for her identity.
Not long after, Lu Yuan had a result.
As expected, the other party should be from a famous gathering place for female cultivators in the thirty-six Big Dipper Sword Domain… the Speed Star Sword Domain.
Lu Yuan felt shocked when he recalled what he had learned about the Speed Star Sword Domain from Xu Wan’er.
This was because the Speed Star Sword Domain was the only ‘Female Kingdom’ in the thirty-six Sword Domains.
This was not only to say that most of the cultivators in the Speed Star Sword Domain were females but also to say that they are a rare sword domain with an Empire as its organizational structure.
Even though it was up to the Sword Masters themselves to decide how each Sword Domain governed their disciples.
However, most of the Sword Domains still preferred to use the method of separating humans and mortals, and they were usually governed by the method of cultivating holy lands.
The Speed Star Sword Domain was not the only one among the thirty-six Big Dipper Sword Domains that had established an Empire to govern. However, it was the only one with a female cultivator as its leader.
Therefore, although the Speed Star Sword Domain was only ranked eleventh among all the Sword Domains, its influence was comparable to the top five Sword Domains.
“Why would a Sword Domain with a female cultivation base see in me?” Lu Yuan’s mind was filled with confusion.
Among the Sword Domains that he had imagined he would enter, he had never even thought about the Speed Star Sword Domain.
After all, he felt that the possibility of him entering the Speed Star Sword Domain was one in ten thousand.
In a split second, Lu Yuan began to think about why such a situation had occurred.
The biggest possibility was his Dharma Idol.
Could it be that even if he only showed a portion of his Dharma Idol, it would be enough to attract the Sword Master’s attention?
At this moment, the female cultivator from the Speed Star Sword Domain was also sizing up Lu Yuan.
Her gaze, for some reason, was not looking at an ordinary disciple. Instead, there was a hint of something else.
Her gaze was like that of a eunuch who helped the emperor choose a concubine….
