Eternal Life: Hundredfold Rewards
Chapter 462 - 262: Tier Four Lower Grade Flying Sword, Sea-Splitting Sword!
Its color is a pure sea blue, appearing quite mysterious and captivating.
The sword is four feet long and a palm wide, engraved with many intricate sword patterns, giving it a majestic and detailed appearance.
At this moment, holding the sword, Qi Chuan suddenly had an illusion, as if all Tier Four Lower Grade Spirit Treasures could be split apart with a single slash in front of his Lifebound Flying Sword.
"Not bad, truly not bad..."
Looking at his new flying sword, Qi Chuan grew more and more satisfied, and then pondered over a new name for the sword, quickly settling on one.
"The new flying sword will be called the Sea-Splitting Sword!"
Buzz!
As soon as the three words "Sea-Splitting Sword" were uttered, the Lifebound Flying Sword emitted a buzzing sound, seemingly hinting at a trace of joy, as if it was delighted to have a nice new name.
"It seems you are quite pleased with the name ’Sea-Splitting Sword’ as well."
Seeing this, Qi Chuan smiled slightly and remarked.
He knew this wasn’t an illusion, but rather a slight emotional expression from the Sea-Splitting Sword itself.
The current Sea-Splitting Sword is already a Tier Four Lower Grade Flying Sword, at the same level as a Tier Four Lower Grade Spirit Treasure.
A Tier Four Lower Grade Spirit Treasure inherently possesses a hint of autonomous spirituality.
And as his Lifebound Flying Sword, the spirituality of the Sea-Splitting Sword surpasses that of many Tier Four Lower Grade Spirit Treasures, hence the strange manifestation earlier.
Whoosh!
Qi Chuan’s fingers curved into a sword-like form, slashing and thrusting, and the Sea-Splitting Sword moved agilely in response, darting forward, slashing, dancing, spinning, and flipping in the void, appearing extremely nimble. Under the myriad of sword shadows, the void seemed as if it was being slashed apart, shattered into countless fragments.
Then, the sword blade of the Sea-Splitting Sword twisted, curling back, continuously shrinking during the process, and finally transformed into a pure sea-blue glow, entering Qi Chuan’s mouth and returning to his Dantian.
Inside the Dantian, a small Nascent Soul, with features identical to Qi Chuan’s, originally had its eyes tightly shut. At this moment, they suddenly opened, locking onto the mini Sea-Splitting Sword before extending a pair of tender white hands to embrace it, after which the eyes closed once more, resuming quiet meditation.
After storing the Sea-Splitting Sword in his Dantian, Qi Chuan also stretched lazily, feeling in an exceptionally good mood. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
Bang! Bang!
At that instant, it seemed as if the array outside his Cave Mansion was suddenly triggered by someone.
"Hmm? Who would come looking for me?"
Qi Chuan raised his eyelid, looking toward the outside of his Cave Mansion, and his Divine Sense spread out, quickly discovering Zhao Ming waiting outside the array of his Cave Mansion.
"Zhao Ming came looking for me, I wonder what happened?"
Qi Chuan thought to himself.
Then he walked out of the Cave Mansion, arriving at the entrance, opening both the Cave Mansion’s gate and the external array.
Upon seeing Qi Chuan emerge, Zhao Ming immediately lowered his gaze and respectfully greeted Qi Chuan with a grand salute: "Greetings, Second Supreme Elder!"
"Sect Leader, no need for such formalities between us." Qi Chuan shook his head, signaling to Zhao Ming that such formalities were unnecessary.
Hearing this, Zhao Ming also smiled and relaxed a lot, then reported: "The Supreme Elder is now in the Myriad Flowers Hall, inviting the Second Supreme Elder to discuss important matters."
Relaxed as he was, the titles could not be changed.
Zhao Ming believed this was a matter of principle.
"Senior Brother Qingyun is looking for me?" Hearing this, Qi Chuan’s eyes showed some curiosity.
The fact that Qingyun True Monarch sought him for a discussion indicated that it wasn’t a simple matter.
Thus, Qi Chuan, under Zhao Ming’s guidance, transformed into two streaks of Escape Light, swiftly heading to the Myriad Flowers Hall.
Whoosh!
Before long, the two streaks of Escape Light descended onto the Peak of Myriad Flowers, revealing the figures of Qi Chuan and Zhao Ming in the palace square.
After appearing, Qi Chuan immediately entered the Myriad Flowers Hall.
Upon entering the Myriad Flowers Hall, Qi Chuan raised his eyelid and saw that at the primary seat of the grand hall, Qingyun True Monarch was already seated.
However, the main seat at this time had been changed to two parallel seats, with Qingyun True Monarch sitting on the left, signifying his status as the First Supreme Elder.
"Junior Brother Qi Chuan, you’ve arrived." Upon seeing Qi Chuan, Qingyun True Monarch raised his eyelid and smiled in greeting.
"I wonder what Senior Brother Qingyun needs from me?" Qi Chuan asked as he walked to the right side of the primary seat in the grand hall and sat down.
As for Sect Leader Zhao Ming, he stood beside in the grand hall, for as the Sect Leader, he was typically allowed to listen in on the discussions between the two Supreme Elders.
"It’s like this, regarding the matter of Nanhua State and the North Magnetic Divine Palace..." Qingyun True Monarch had a peculiar smile on his face as he took out an ornate invitation and placed it on the jade table before him.
"The North Magnetic Divine Palace?" Upon hearing this name, Qi Chuan raised his eyelid slightly, his gaze involuntarily landing on the invitation on the jade table.
"Yes," Qingyun True Monarch smiled, "recently, the Supreme Elder of the North Magnetic Divine Palace, True Monarch Yuanzhi, is about to celebrate his nine hundredth birthday, and thus has sent out numerous invitations, extending a broad invitation to notable forces from Nanhua State and neighboring states to attend."
"Though True Monarch Yuanzhi is merely in the Nascent Soul Early Stage, his mana is near its peak, and due to the peculiar cultivation method of the Jade Magnet Divine Light, it’s rumored he possesses some capability to rival a Nascent Soul Middle Stage True Monarch, though the truth is uncertain, he must not be underestimated."
"Though Nanhua State is a bit distant from our Immortal Sect, the North Magnetic Divine Palace is nevertheless a Nascent Soul Major Sect, and True Monarch Yuanzhi isn’t weak either, so we’ve traditionally given face to this matter by sending a Core Formation Elder with gifts to offer birthday congratulations."
"However, given that this relates to your origins in Nanhua State, I know the Wind Moon Sect you hail from previously had some unfavorable conflicts with the North Magnetic Divine Palace; thus, I’d like to consult your opinion to decide how to handle this matter, what do you think?"
"The North Magnetic Divine Palace’s Supreme Elder, True Monarch Yuanzhi’s nine hundredth birthday?" Upon hearing this, Qi Chuan’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Back then, the Celestial Soul Hall besieged the Wind Moon Sect for a long time without success, reaching a stalemate. To break the deadlock, the Supreme Elder Jin Can of the Celestial Soul Hall went to the North Magnetic Divine Palace to obtain a Tier Three Top Grade Forbidden-Breaking Talisman. After returning, they decisively broke through the Wind Moon Sect’s Sect Protection Array.
If I hadn’t arrived in time, the Wind Moon Sect would have already been devastated, the Sect annihilated, and my master Situ Jiang would not have escaped this calamity.
Though the disaster was ultimately averted, Qi Chuan had already accounted for this against the North Magnetic Divine Palace in his mind.
As a Nascent Soul Major Sect, the North Magnetic Divine Palace couldn’t have been unaware that a Tier Three Top Grade Forbidden-Breaking Talisman could directly determine the survival of the Wind Moon Sect, yet they still decided to loan out the talisman, signifying, in a way, a desire for the Wind Moon Sect’s destruction.
This decision must have been made either by the Sect Leader of the North Magnetic Divine Palace or by its Supreme Elder, True Monarch Yuanzhi.
Qi Chuan had always wanted to settle this score, not to obliterate the North Magnetic Divine Palace’s mountain gate, but to regain some ground and clear his mind.
Nevertheless, earlier he was only at the Core Formation Realm, lacking the strength to do so, and couldn’t morally coerce the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect into helping him against another Nascent Soul Major Sect.
Now, I am already in the Nascent Soul True Monarch Realm, and my long-cherished Lifebound Flying Sword has entered the Tier Four Lower Grade Flying Sword level. Today I encounter True Monarch Yuanzhi’s nine hundredth birthday, wouldn’t it be the perfect opportunity? How could I miss it?
As for True Monarch Yuanzhi’s strength, Qi Chuan wasn’t too concerned.
Regardless, this person is after all in the Nascent Soul Early Stage, the same realm as me.
Moreover, my Nascent Soul was condensed from a First-Grade Nine Orifice Golden Core, along with Perfection Inspiration Opportunity, and numerous top auxiliary external objects, resulting in an extraordinary foundation far superior to ordinary Nascent Souls.
My Profound Celestial Spirit Devouring Sword Technique is certainly no weaker than his Jade Magnet Divine Light.
Thus, Qi Chuan certainly would not be deterred from going forward!
