Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 1514: Sword Markings
"Yes, I definitely want it."
Xiao Yi glared at the Sword Spirit.
"Tsk tsk." The Sword Spirit sneered disdainfully, "Humans, truly greedy creatures."
Xiao Yi gave the Sword Spirit a sidelong glance, "Your master, the Sword Emperor, was also human, wasn’t he?"
Upon hearing this, the Sword Spirit’s face suddenly stiffened, and he fell silent.
After a moment, the Sword Spirit said gravely, "Inside the Sword Emperor Stele, there are three layers of space, each with its own trial."
"If you pass all of them, the Sword Emperor Origin will be yours."
"How do I take it?" Xiao Yi asked.
This light orb was both real and illusory, but it contained immense power, not just a phantom entity.
Xiao Yi didn’t know how to take it.
The Sword Spirit replied, "Don’t rush. Since the master left his origin power, there’s naturally a method to use it."
"Later, I will imprint a prohibition on you."
"With this prohibition, you can carry this Sword Emperor Origin with you."
"Carry it with me?" Xiao Yi frowned.
He suddenly realized, what exactly is this Sword Emperor Origin used for?
Xiao Yi hesitantly glanced at the "light orb," then looked at the Sword Spirit in confusion and voiced his question.
"What’s its use? Hehe." The Sword Spirit chuckled, looking at Xiao Yi.
That look seemed as if he was looking at an idiot.
Xiao Yi’s face twitched.
From the moment he saw the Sword Spirit’s appearance in this space until now, although the Sword Spirit appeared like a young man, he always acted old-fashioned.
That troublesome expression, if he wasn’t a Monument Spirit, Xiao Yi really wanted to punch him hard.
"The master’s origin power is naturally unpredictable in its uses," the Sword Spirit said solemnly.
"But, its real uses, there are two points."
"Firstly, it allows you, no matter where you are on this continent, to not be affected by the Heaven and Earth Martial Arts and thus use Sword Power."
"Hmm?" Xiao Yi frowned.
"Do you mean that, normally, Martial Artists cannot use Sword Power outside the Sword Domain?"
"Correct." The Sword Spirit nodded.
"Because of the master’s origin power, the Heaven and Earth Rules of the Sword Domain are disturbed, thus generating this peculiar power called Sword Power."
"Outside the Sword Domain, in other places, the Heaven and Earth Rules don’t have the essence of Sword Power."
"Without this power in the world, how can other Martial Artists use it?"
Xiao Yi understood.
At its core, the essence of Sword Power is not a perfect martial arts rule and cannot exist in normal regions.
This is power derived from the Sword Emperor’s forces.
Thus, Lin Family Members, as descendants of the Sword Emperor, possess the Sword Emperor Bloodline and hence possess Soul Sword Force.
And other Martial Artists within the Sword Domain, like the Qi Sect and Artifact Sect, were born in the Sword Domain. Whether in cultivation or Martial Soul Awakening, they are always in the Sword Domain.
Thus, they can naturally align themselves with the Heaven and Earth Martial Arts Rules here.
Meaning, they can establish a connection with the ’essence of Sword Power’ in the world.
But lacking the Sword Emperor Bloodline, they can’t perfectly control or comprehend this essence of Sword Power.
Thus, ordinary Sword Domain swordmen can only comprehend ’Qi Sword Force’ or ’Artifact Sword Power.’
And can’t like the Lin Family members, comprehend the ’Soul Sword Force’ that can integrate with everything.
As for external sword cultivators.
External sword cultivators have their Martial Souls awakened outside their regions.
The Martial Soul, shaped by the Heaven and Earth Rules, accompanies Martial Artists throughout their lives.
Naturally, external sword cultivators can’t align with the special Heaven and Earth Rules of the Sword Domain and can’t establish a connection with the ’essence of Sword Power’ here, hence they can’t cultivate Sword Power.
Xiao Yi, now no longer an average Martial Artist, has seen much and controls quite a lot of martial arts forces himself.
Therefore, the Sword Spirit’s simple explanation made Xiao Yi understand the reasons behind it.
Of course, this explanation is from the perspective of Heaven and Earth Martial Arts.
But, there’s still one thing Xiao Yi doesn’t understand.
He’s an external sword cultivator. His Martial Soul, let alone awakened outside, was awakened even more outside, over in the Eastern Domain.
Then how did he cultivate Sword Power? Moreover, it’s Soul Sword Power?
Xiao Yi looked at the Sword Spirit, his hand gathered a strand of Soul Sword Force.
"Even I, an external sword cultivator, have cultivated Soul Sword Power. What could this mean?"
Xiao Yi looked at the Sword Spirit in puzzlement.
The Sword Spirit glanced at him, showing no surprise.
It had always been inside the Cold Flame Sword, so it had long known that Xiao Yi had used Soul Sword Power.
"In fact, I’m quite curious too," The Sword Spirit said gravely.
"You aren’t a Sword Domain swordsman, yet you managed to cultivate Sword Power; you aren’t a Lin Family descendant. I’ve sensed it before, you don’t have the Sword Emperor Bloodline, yet you cultivated Soul Sword Force." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
Being the Monument Spirit of the Sword Emperor Stele, the Sword Spirit is naturally extremely sensitive to the Sword Emperor Bloodline.
Whether Xiao Yi has the Sword Emperor Bloodline or not is clear at a glance.
The Sword Spirit gazed directly at Xiao Yi and said earnestly, "There’s only one possibility."
"And that is that there are certain things on your person that ignore the Heaven and Earth Rules."
"Even if you are in the Sword Domain, you still ignore the Heaven and Earth Rules of the Sword Domain and cultivate Sword Power."
"Hmm?" Xiao Yi heard this and suddenly realized.
The Ice Phoenix Sword!
Whether the Ice Phoenix Sword or the ’Taiyin and Taiyang Eyes’ empowered by it, many instances of ignoring the Heaven and Earth Rules have already occurred.
Such as absorbing others’ Martial Soul Power.
And elevating one’s own Martial Soul Rank.
"Extend your hand." At this moment, the Sword Spirit glanced impatiently at Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi nodded and stretched out his left hand.
The Sword Spirit condensed two fingers and touched Xiao Yi’s wrist.
Intricate patterns began to gather and imprint on Xiao Yi’s wrist.
Xiao Yi observed the movement of the patterns, and could roughly discern the function of these patterns.
He is an Array Master, and he has imprinted similar patterns before.
Indeed, the patterns now being imprinted by the Sword Spirit are somewhat similar to the ’Ice Pattern’ he once imprinted.
Their effect is to imprint a prohibition space within the body.
Within the Ice Pattern, massive amounts of Ice Attribute Elemental Power are stored.
As for this imprint from the Sword Spirit, it’s creating a space to store the Sword Emperor Origin.
Of course, the patterns imprinted by the Sword Spirit are evidently of a higher level than the ’Ice Pattern.’
Xiao Yi could distinctly sense that a space prohibition of astonishing solidity was slowly forming on his wrist.
"The Sword Emperor Origin will be placed inside the prohibition afterward," the Sword Spirit said solemnly while imprinting.
"It will also be equivalent to being placed within your body."
"No matter where you are, you can use Sword Power."
Xiao Yi nodded.
The Sword Emperor Origin is the greatest opportunity within the Sword Emperor Stele.
No wonder Elder Yun Yuan mentioned before that if he managed to obtain the opportunity inside, it would be a unique fortune across millennia.
Even a hundred Heavenly Hidden Academies couldn’t provide such benefits.
Looking at it now, it’s not just unique in a millennia; it’s unique in countless ages.
Xiao Yi also realized why the Martial Artists here in the Sword Domain rarely leave.
Because once they leave the Sword Domain, they won’t be able to use Sword Power, greatly reducing their strength.
Take the Six Sword Guards for example; they are just Martial Arts Great Power, but within the Sword Domain, bolstered by Sword Power, their strength is extremely formidable.
If an external sword cultivator were to come, even Supreme Experts like the Eighteen Mansions Masters might not fare well against them.
Yet outside the Sword Domain, they would just have the ordinary strength of Martial Arts Great Power.
No need to mention Supreme Experts like the Qi Sect Master.
An external Supreme Expert probably wouldn’t be able to withstand ten moves against him.
...
Second update.
