[10x reward applied. You have developed an initial understanding of the Transcendental Sword Dao. You have reached the first stage of the Transcendental Sword Dao, developing an Eternal Heart of the Sword.]

In a matter of minutes, Wang Chen's understanding of sword Dao soared beyond mortal limits. The distinction between sword and mortal vanished completely: they were one and the same.
