Peerless Sword Saint Checks In Secretly For 3000 Years

Chapter 3: Check-In, Training Ground!

Junior disciple Mo Qingchen was in full black attire and carrying three blades of different styles behind his back. At that moment, his hands were shaking a little, and his eyes were full of regret.

“I’m just lamenting the hardships you’ve gone through, senior brother,” he replied.

Pooh.

You are the only person in the sect who does absolutely nothing. While everyone else is vanquishing demons, only you are hanging around doing nothing and radiating negative vibes.

“I’m alright. You and your peers have to work harder too, senior brother.” Shen Changge nodded gently, patted Mo Qingchen’s shoulder, sighed, and descended down the mountain.

Shen Changge felt like he should be doing something.

He had already acquired the Empyrean Sword Manual.

Was he still going to let himself be held back just because of his natural talent?

Impossible!

Just who do people think I am?

However, right now, Shen Changge had made the decision to study the system first.

In fact, he had already been thinking about a few questions he had. For instance, he had obtained the Empyrean Sword Manual under the Sword Lord statue. In that case, the system might have chosen this location because the person represented by the Sword Lord statue was the one who wrote the Empyrean Sword Manual. At the same time, this Sword Lord statue was extremely unique. Within the Empyrean Sword Sect, it was something that the sect’s disciples looked up to and revered. Hence, the statue had an inexplicable relationship with the legendary Empyrean Sword Manual that was hailed as the pinnacle of combat artistry!

The only reason he had acquired the Riding Sword Section was probably that he was in a side sect.

Not the main sect!

Shen Changge felt as though he possessed a certain amount of understanding of the system’s characteristics.

Since I was able to get the Empyrean Sword Manual under the Sword Lord Statue, what would happen if I checked in at the training grounds?

And are there any restrictions on checking in?

I can’t just go anywhere and check myself in at the location, right?

Does this system have a panel or something so that I can understand it more intuitively?

[Host: Shen Changge]

[Unlocked Location(s): Sword Lord statue: One day]

Unlocked Locations?

The number of days?

This means that-!

I can check in repeatedly at the same location!

If I got the Empyrean Sword Manual on the first day, what would I get on the second day?

Shen Changge decided to head towards the training ground to confirm his theory.

Passing through a rocky road, four massive pillars entered his line of sight. The pillars were slightly decayed and rundown. In the middle, there was a huge square-shaped space. That area was the training ground. At that time, a group of people was training in the square. Some had their swords raised as they performed moves naturally and smoothly like flowing water and unleashed their piercing Swordlight! Some were sitting with their legs crossed, cycling their own Qi and absorbing the Spiritual Qi that was pouring into them, resulting in an explosion of colors.

The arrival of Shen Changge had also attracted the attention of many people.

“Fascinating. What a sight to behold. Senior brother came to the training grounds?”

“I heard that back then, senior brother stepped into the Revelation stage with imposing momentum and became the most untalented disciple the great master has ever accepted.”

“And after three years, he’s just at the peak of the Revelation Stage.”

The stages in cultivation were: Revelation, Enlightenment, Qi Bending, Liberation, and Divine Bridge.

These were the first five stages.

The Sect Lord, Zhang Sanjian was a Sword Cultivator at the Divine Bridge stage, and it was this Divine Bridge Cultivator who shored up the Empyrean Sword Sect for a whole three years!

Their eldest senior brother, on the other hand, was just at the peak of the Revelation Stage after three years...

Now, most disciples in the sword sect were at the Enlightenment stage. After all, it was impossible for the sect to not accept any new disciples.

Their eldest senior brother was literally at the very bottom within the sect.

However, today, Shen Changge had actually come to the training ground?

Paying no attention to the surrounding stares, Shen Changge walked to the center of the training ground with his hands held behind his back.

The sky was hazy. Although there was no dark mist covering the area, it still felt as if there was a layer of tiny dark particles at the boundaries of this place. It was obscure and gloomy... However, that did not prevent Shen Changge from doing some fronting... oh, I mean, checking in.

“Senior brother... what a rare guest.”

Some junior disciples approached him to talk.

Shen Changge nodded his head gently.

“Check-in.”

“Location bind success: Training Ground.”

“Check-in Success, obtained: Cultivation Base* One year.”

Cultivation Base!

I got a Cultivation Base!

Shen Changge may have seemed indifferent on the outside, but in his heart, he was extremely excited! 𝙛𝑟𝘦ℯ𝘄e𝙗nov𝙚𝑙. 𝐜𝑜𝗺

The check-in had actually given him a Cultivation Base!

What’s more, this was exactly like what he had thought!

He was thinking that the function of the training ground was for disciples to train.

...

In that case, if he were to check in at this location, what could he possibly get?

He never expected this to be so overpowered.

He checked in and got raw Cultivation Base!

One year’s worth of cultivation!

Shen Changge glanced at the disciples at the training ground who were sweating profusely as they practiced, muttering something to themselves.

Hah.

Ants.

“Senior brother, the training ground needs to be cleared out in a while. Some people will be stepping into the Enlightenment stage later.”

At that moment, a disciple who obviously did not look very happy slowly walked over.

It was true that Shen Changge’s relationship with the people in the sect was so-so. After all, in such a place where everyone was fighting for survival, Shen Changge always behaved like a rotten fish that was waiting for the end to come.

Many people had long been dissatisfied with him.

...

Shen Changge glanced at them strangely.

“Why must we clear the venue when someone’s about to advance into the Enlightenment stage?”

Hearing him, the other disciple could not help but sneer.

“Senior brother, it is only natural that you don’t understand the profoundness of the Enlightenment stage. After all, you’ve been stuck in the Revelation stage for a very long time. You might not know that when one is stepping into the Enlightenment stage, the acupoints in their bodies will tremble, and someone has to be nearby to help suppress the activated acupoints. If not, it is very likely that one will go insane or have an incomplete breakthrough, which can impair their power level to a certain extent.”

The disciple’s words were evidently full of cutting sarcasm for Shen Changge.

How would a good-for-nothing senior brother like you know about these things?

Shen Changge’s eyelids twitched.

“Is that so? Let me test it,” Shen Changge replied.

The group of people could not contain their laughter.

He said he wanted to test it.

Wait.

What does he want to test?

But at that moment, a stream of power extremely pure in nature abruptly began circulating in Shen Changge’s body. As if appearing out of thin air, the energy poured into his limbs and bones. A warm torrent surged and swept across his body!

Everybody’s eyelids were twitching!

They saw the acupoints on their senior brother, who was deemed a waste in their eyes, resonating and trembling endlessly!

This was a sign of breaking into the Enlightenment stage!

Whoosh!

His acupoints rang in unison, opening and closing non-stop like glittering flowers competing to bloom!

How was that possible?!

Senior brother’s acupoints opened up so smoothly as he advanced into the Enlightenment stage!

It felt as if a massive river had rushed through all his acupoints in only a fraction of a second!

Ka-boom!

Shen Changge trembled intensely from head to toe and unleashed a monstrous muffled noise. Subsequently, his acupoints opened widely, ringing and vibrating!

Enlightenment was a success!

In fact, Shen Changge knew why they were satirizing him. After all, if he was among those disciples and shared their state of mind while having a strong desire to live, he would have despised a rotten egg like himself.

But since he dares to mock me, I guess he won’t mind me doing this right in his face.

Shen Changge held his hands behind his back and sighed.

“It is indeed. I’ve tried it just now. Stepping into the Enlightenment stage truly is full of perils. If one’s talent is ordinary, the opening of their acupoints may not be perfect enough.

“Work harder, junior brothers,” he said.

He patted the shoulders of the disciples there then straightened his body and left.

Looking at the lone receding figure in the distance, the group of disciples’ chests was filled with anger.

This guy...

Had he advanced to the Enlightenment stage?

However, at that moment, Shen Changge, who was walking along the path, was not looking too good.

Because...

Could the one-year cultivation represent the cultivation performed by someone of my talent for a year?

What the-?

Such pure cultivation efforts only brought me to the Enlightenment Stage? And with no excess?

Is my talent really that bad?

Having not trained for too long, he almost forgot that he was a waste.

There had to be a way!

Then, he looked at his own panel.

[Host: Shen Changge]

[Unlocked Location(s): Sword Lord statue: One day, Training Ground: One day]

As I expected!

All of a sudden, Shen Changge began anticipating what kind of surprise would he receive for his check-ins the next day.
