Three sword cultivators from the Heavenly Sword Sect advancing to the Integration Stage simultaneously was something that left other sects green with envy for a very long time.
The core figures—Jian Li, Jian Xu, and Jian Lu—had already become the representatives of the high-level cultivators in the Heavenly Sword Sect, excluding the Mahayana True Venerables. Not only their cultivation levels, but their combat prowess as well, had won universal recognition.
Jian Li owed his advancement to the Integration Stage entirely to the good fortune brought by Jian Xu and Jian Lu. Originally, based on his insights from battling Integration cultivators, he could have advanced to the Void Refining Late Stage, but because of his responsibilities in the Law Enforcement Hall, he had suppressed his cultivation. This time, aided by the golden light of merit, he broke directly through to the Great Circle and advanced to the Integration Stage.
