Chapter 182: Chapter 182 Testing the Sword at Black Wind Cliff (Part 2)
 

The deadly wind howled, and the number of Black Jade Bees flying out of the cave soared.

Perhaps it was Wang Chen’s merciless slaughter that aroused their fury, or maybe he was too close to their hive; thousands of Black Jade Bees swarmed, obscuring the sky like storm clouds rolling in.

One after another, their venomous stingers shot towards Wang Chen like a violent wind.

And at this moment, Wang Chen was fully channeling the Fire Crow Sword, making the Flying Sword dart around him swiftly while expanding the fierce momentum of his swordsmanship outward.

Although he had just succeeded in condensing his sword momentum, the Sword Qi radiating from the blade was crisscrossing and extremely sharp.

Whether it was the stingers shot by the Black Jade Bees or the bees themselves.

Everything that collided turned to dust!

“Human Virtue +1”, “Human Virtue +1”, “Human Virtue +1″…

Not a single Black Jade Bee could break through the barrier of Sword Qi; they were like moths to a flame. Their spirit in defending their home was indeed commendable, but even the most heroic sacrifices couldn’t prevent a failing outcome.

In addition to contributing a large amount of Human Virtue to Wang Chen, these Black Jade Bees also helped him refine his swordsmanship.

Allowing Wang Chen to truly grasp the essence of the Sword Control Technique.

The strategies he had learned over the past few months were now fully integrated into his own path of the sword!

Even though the number of Black Jade Bees kept increasing, showing no sign of stopping their assault,

Wang Chen’s heart surged with excitement, and he unexpectedly broke through his previous limit.

The power of his sword momentum suddenly soared, covering hundreds of Black Jade Bees and shredding them all in an instant!

The information prompts in Wang Chen’s view started creating a blur of images.

However, his Mana in the Dantian was plummeting, quickly reaching rock bottom, and it seemed he would be unable to sustain it much longer.

Wang Chen suddenly retreated, breaking through the encirclement of bees and widening the gap from the Black Wind Cliff.

Shrinking Ground into Inches!

This special Heart Method, he had already mastered to the Mastery Level.

Twenty steps in an instant.

After using it five times in succession, Wang Chen had retreated over a hundred steps away.

Only now did the Black Jade Bees, which had lost their target, begin to react; they immediately pursued him.

However, in the blink of an eye, Wang Chen was already far from the Black Wind Cliff.

His figure and breath completely vanished!

The furious swarm buzzed around aimlessly in the air like headless flies, never able to find the fiend who had slaughtered their companions, and finally sulkily returned to their hive.

The Great Perfection level Stealth Breath Technique was truly not something these low-level monster insects could detect!

At this time, Wang Chen was already over five hundred steps away.

Taking advantage of the rocks and bushes for cover, he sat down calmly to regulate his breathing and restore his nearly depleted Mana.

Actually, Wang Chen could have maintained prolonged combat by drawing on the Spiritual Power stored in the Demon-Slaying Net.

But he chose not to do so.

Because the Spiritual Power in the Demon-Slaying Net was hard-earned and not worth consuming without a critical need.

Moreover, Wang Chen didn’t want to develop a reliance on this treasure.

The most important part was, such combat at his limits could stimulate his potential, greatly benefiting his cultivation.

He took out millet rice balls, Monster Beast jerkies, and Spiritual Wine from his Storage Bag to fill his stomach while speeding up the recovery of his Mana.

When his Essence, Qi, and Spirit had all returned to their peak state, Wang Chen charged towards Black Wind Cliff again.

Continuing his grind for points!

After the previous fierce battle, his Human Virtue points had returned to the four digits.

In such a prime location, he wouldn’t stop grinding until he was worn out; Wang Chen simply wouldn’t rest!

He would draw out the Black Jade Bees from their nest, kill a batch, and then use Shrinking Ground into Inches combined with the Stealth Breath Technique to retreat, recovering at his leisure in a safe area.

Counting the increasing Human Virtue points with delight.

Wang Chen even dug a tunnel nearby and a secret underground chamber for hiding.

Since Chang Chun’s assigned task had no time limit, he planned to grind his Human Virtue to five digits before collecting the Spiritual Honey.

And Wang Chen’s tactics were indeed relentless.

“`

But very effective.

Batch after batch of Black Jade Bees were used by him as tools for grinding points and experience.

In addition to the continuously increasing Human Virtue points, Wang Chen’s Sword Control Technique experience also synchronously improved.

Breaking through to Great Perfection was just a matter of time.

This kind of battle continued until it was dark before coming to an end.

After nightfall, many Monster Beasts would come out to hunt for food, and the danger increased exponentially.

Even though hunting Black Jade Bees was very gratifying, Wang Chen didn’t let it get to his head.

As soon as it got dark, he decisively retreated and hid in an underground chamber, completely sealing the entrance tunnel.

Of course, before he hid himself away, Wang Chen didn’t forget to stick the Mandarin Duck Mirror next to the entrance on the rock wall.

In this way, even while underground, he could use the Mandarin Duck Mirror to observe the situation above ground.

To ensure nothing went wrong!

Heaven Cloud Mountain stretched for a hundred thousand li, housing who knows how many Monster Race Fierce Beasts; one could never be too cautious.

After ensuring his own safety, Wang Chen began to tally today’s gains.

The first and foremost, of course, was the Human Virtue points.

He summoned the Immortal Cultivation panel and saw that he had actually grinded over three thousand Human Virtue points, equivalent to the gains from taking down three Blood God Children!

Thinking back to the initial effort and hard work he put in just to gain a little bit of Human Virtue points.

Wang Chen couldn’t help but feel a myriad of emotions.

With the improvement of his strength, things that were not easy to do before had become much easier now.

Next was the improvement in his swordsmanship cultivation level.

Over three thousand Black Jade Bees sacrificed their lives, allowing Wang Chen to integrate what he learned and finally condense a true sword stance.

His swordsmanship had finally reached a masterful level!

Both added together.

This trip to Heaven Cloud Mountain had already been highly profitable for Wang Chen.

After tallying the gains, he sat in the secret chamber, continuing his cultivation of the Five Elements Skill.

The long night had only just begun.

This night, Wang Chen did not have a particularly peaceful time.

Even though he was hidden in a secret chamber tens of meters underground, the shadows of beasts that occasionally appeared in the Mandarin Duck Mirror and the noises from the surface kept him on high alert at all times.

Not until daylight did he sense no danger; then Wang Chen reopened the tunnel and returned to the surface.

To continue hunting Black Jade Bees.

These demonized bees really hit a streak of bad luck.

Because of the fierce evil wind, along with the particularly large number of Black Jade Bees, common Qi Cultivation cultivators wouldn’t bother them.

Moreover, the Spiritual Honey produced by the beehive wasn’t an extraordinarily precious item.

Hunter Cultivators had much better targets to choose from.

So, this area had become Wang Chen’s grinding and experience-farming Holy Land!

But the Black Jade Bees were not truly infinite; by the third day of Wang Chen’s stay at Black Wind Cliff, the badly damaged swarm had all retreated into their stone cave nests.

No matter how Wang Chen approached, they would no longer come out to meet their deaths!

These low-level demonized insects seemed to have become aware.

The problem is that while you can run away from a monk, you can’t run away from the temple; the Black Jade Bees might escape, but their beehive could not be moved.

So Wang Chen, who was about to be sick of grinding Black Jade Bees, began to target the Spiritual Honey in the beehive!

Chang Chun’s requirement was a hundred jins of Spiritual Honey.

Wang Chen felt that bringing back a thousand jins wouldn’t be a problem!
