Chapter 124: The Life-Death Flying Sword
In the dark mine, a giant five-colored ape stood there, as if guarding something!
Not far away, a figure sat there quietly! This person was Wang Chen.
In front of Wang Chen, a white powder floated in the air, surrounded by flames. The red flames burned the powder, and after a moment, the flames disappeared, replaced by golden sword energy as large as fingernails, which rampaged through the powder once again!
Then, water flow, soil sand, and wood energy appeared one after another. Wang Chen quietly watched until everything was done, and the white powder returned to his hand.
Looking at the white powder floating on his hand, Wang Chen was entangled for a long time.
"This white powder, although I don't know what it is, can be certain that it transcends the five elements and yin-yang, and also matches my sword intent. Alright! Let's use this to refine my life-bound flying sword!"
There are three ways to refine the Benming Flying Sword:
The simplest way is to create an embryo and then continuously nourish it with one's own essence and energy until the heart and mind are connected!
This is the practice of most Benming Treasures! Although this method is relatively common, it indirectly proves its superiority. Most people accept it because it is simple and easy to practice, and its power is also very great!
The second method is to use the blood-refining technique, which consumes more of one's own essence and blood, but reduces the time it takes to cultivate the life-bound treasure, allowing one to reach the realm where blood vessels and mind are connected in a short period of time!
The third method is a divine refining technique that many cultivators are unaware of, and even if they knew about it, no one would be willing to do so. Using their divine sense to grind the ore into powder, and then using their own will and divine sense to forcibly form the powdered material into their own innate treasure, the difficulty of this process makes most people hesitant!
Even among those who chose this method, the vast majority failed and had no choice but to choose a simpler approach!
Relatively speaking, Jian Xiu adopts this method more often because the special nature of sword intent greatly reduces the difficulty of this approach.
However, Wang Chen's method of refining his life-bound treasure was slightly different, as there were no ores to be crushed, the materials themselves were already in powder form!
With both hands continuously forming seals, a pair of incense sticks worth of spiritual energy was spent, and the powder in front of Wang Chen finally underwent a change. At the same time, a faint sword intent silhouette slowly appeared in front of him!
As if the immortal who gazes down at the world, like a high and lofty deity, this small sword's ethereal shadow emits an extraordinary transcendent aura, not putting anything in its sights, extremely calm, yet different from the aura of dominance, because the aura itself is not dominant, but rather gives people a feeling of being looked down upon, high above.
The sword intent's illusory shadow revolved around the powder, and then the powder actually flew slowly towards the sword intent's illusory shadow under the effect of the law!
The entire sword intent's shadow gradually had a color, a powdery white!
The white that doesn't belong to the world, unique and transcendent, carrying a meaning consistent with the sword intent of transcendence, suddenly the virtual shadow of the sword intent seems to have expanded a bit!
"Not bad, this powder outside the five elements of yin and yang matches my sword intent, it's just that because it transcends the five elements, it can't enter into my sword intent!"
Wang Chen's face was filled with surprise and worry at the same time. The method of refining his life-bound flying sword was recorded in Feng Wuji's Sword Book, but it didn't mention this phenomenon. Although the powder had wrapped up the sword intent's virtual shadow, it hadn't entered inside, simply put, it was just a superficial display!
Since it can't be done this way, then there's no choice but to forcibly merge them!
Mobilizing his entire body's spirit and willpower, Wang Chen began to forcibly squeeze the powder into the sword intent's virtual shadow!
Wang Chen's will was incredibly strong, having cultivated the Refining Hell Divine Sense Great Technique and undergone ten rounds of painful soul division, he could be said to be able to withstand the collapse of heaven and earth without changing color, and face the gates of hell with a smile!
Boundless will appeared, and the powder that formed in the boundary bead, transcending the five elements of yin and yang, slowly entered the sword intent's virtual shadow.
The faint shadow of the slow sword suddenly solidified!
At this moment, Wang Chen let out a breath and the sweat on his forehead also fell.
"Finally!"
In front of him, a small white sword about the length of a palm appeared. The small white sword emitted an extraordinary and transcendent aura. As soon as Wang Chen's mind moved, the small white sword also moved, without any hesitation or estrangement, as if it had been tempered for a long time!
The method of refining gods is indeed extraordinary!
Intentionally trying out Xiao Jian's might, with a stir of his spirit, the white small sword struck the stone wall beside him!
Ding!
A small hole appeared on the stone wall, and the white short sword disappeared. Through his senses, Wang Chen knew that the sword was somewhere inside the stone wall.
The next moment, a white light flashed by, and the small sword reappeared in front of Wang Chen!
The previously solid stone wall was no different from tofu in front of the white small sword, and it broke with just one bucket!
With a slight movement of his mind, the small sword penetrated into Wang Chen's body and then appeared on top of his dantian!
After the Jin Dan period of Master's advancement, the Jin Dan will produce Ben Ming Yuan Qi. These Ben Ming Yuan Qi can greatly enhance the power of Ben Ming Fa Bao. Of course, Ben Ming Yuan Qi is not infinite and only a small amount can be produced after a certain period of time. The quantity is also related to the cultivator's cultivation, Gong Fa, etc.!
His lifebound flying sword should be a treasure in terms of rank, but Wang Chen's lifebound flying sword is limited to his cultivation and only has the quality of an upper-grade artifact. It can only be further upgraded after advancing to the next stage! However, even so, it has been of great help to Wang Chen!
The sword technique unleashed by the white flying sword is about 20% more powerful! This is the power of the destined flying sword and the unity of the sword intent, which will be even greater later on!
This is also why sword cultivators only use their own swords, and never switch them out for life. Many times, when the sword is gone, the person is gone too, because a sword cultivator pours all of his sword intent into the sword in his hand!
Once the sword is broken, the pursuit of a single sound of sword repair, the sword intent itself is also broken, and it's hard to regenerate!
The will of the sword wants to be reborn, it's much harder than reforging a sword!
Therefore, the Benming Flying Sword is the most precious existence for sword cultivators. Wang Chen's flying sword barely counts as a Benming Flying Sword, but it lacks the subsequent long-term nourishment, so its power is still relatively weak and not even comparable to an ordinary magic treasure!
After refining the Benming Flying Sword, Wang Chen also stopped mining and walked out of the mine. However, Wang Chen didn't know that in the eyes of many disciples, he had become a unique genius elder with a hobby for mining!
More than ten days have passed, and nothing has happened in the Shilin mine vein. The war is still a long way off, and there's no need to worry about short-term gains or losses! Usually around once a month, there will be a fierce battle!
Until half a month later on a certain day, the scout monk sent news that the demon cultivator had set up an array outside the mine and the great battle was about to begin!
Wang Chen was speechless upon hearing this. Although he wasn't clear about the war in the immortal world, he also knew that formation was a crucial aspect, and yet the enemy had set up formations outside while the people inside were unaware, it's really unknown how many foundation-building cultivators were arranged!
But this also indirectly proves that the opponent is extraordinary, and it's not easy to set up a formation under their nose!
But for Wang Chen, the problem wasn't that big. After all, arrays were dead things, and with the power of the array, although Wang Chen might not be able to defeat the six Foundation Establishment cultivators and a hundred Qi Refining cultivators, he could still escape without anyone being able to stop him!
