Chapter 936: Sword Spirit |
Shortly after distributing the spoils of war, Xu Mengying left Taiyi Sect and returned to the Yellow Lotus Holy Mountain.
Meng Zhang and the others needed to refine the newly acquired magic tools and supervise the three big merchant families in compensating for the cultivation resources. There were plenty of tasks to handle.
Jin Li, the True Monarch, also returned to Taiyi Sect for a while.
Upon learning from Meng Zhang about the Primordial Spirit grand battle, she felt regretful for missing such a splendid event.
Of course, being entangled by Guyue Shuyao and her group, it would be difficult for her to return to Taiyi Sect's mountain gate.
The compensation from the three big merchant families to Taiyi Sect included many items that needed to be transported from the native land of the Dali Dynasty, which would take some time to arrive.
The distance between Jiuqu Province and the native land of the Dali Dynasty was too far, making transportation inconvenient.
Currently, the native land of the Dali Dynasty had dispatched a Formation Master to work together with the Jiuqu Province Governor's Office to survey the Earth Pulse and prepare for the installation of a long-distance teleportation formation, directly connecting the Dali Dynasty's native land with Jiuqu Province.
Once this long-distance teleportation formation was successfully set up, it would significantly reduce the travel time between the two places, bringing numerous conveniences.
Taiyi Sect lacked the ability to set up a long-distance teleportation formation and could only rely on a set of Mother-Child Transmission Discs.
One mother disc and two child discs brought countless benefits to Taiyi Sect and played a significant strategic role.
In Taiyi Sect's history, this set of Mother-Child Transmission Discs had once turned the tide of a major war.
Nowadays, a single set of Mother-Child Transmission Discs was slowly becoming insufficient to meet Taiyi Sect's various needs.
Meng Zhang was eager to possess a long-distance teleportation formation and hoped that Taiyi Sect could have the ability to set it up.
The method of setting up a long-distance teleportation formation was a closely guarded secret among major cultivation forces. Not to mention that it also required the consumption of many precious materials.
In the treasury of the Dali Dynasty, there were magic tools similar to the Mother-Child Transmission Disc that subordinates could exchange for.
However, Meng Zhang currently couldn't provide enough military merits to exchange for such a magic tool.
Obtaining the ability to set up a long-distance teleportation formation had become a crucial strategic goal for Taiyi Sect.
In his spare time, Meng Zhang began refining the Fourth Rank flying sword, "Startling Swan Sword."
During the early stage of his Primordial Spirit cultivation base, he could refine three Fourth Rank magic tools. Now that his cultivation base had advanced to the mid-stage of Primordial Spirit, he had no problem refining five or six Fourth Rank magic tools.Moreover, with the improvement of his Cultivation Base, he could refine even more Fourth Rank magic tools.
Of course, the more Fourth Rank magic tools he refines, the heavier the burden on himself, and it will slow down his cultivation speed.
Between his own Cultivation Base and Daoist protection ability, what to choose, everyone has their own decisions.
Meng Zhang calmed down and deeply understood the Startling Swan Sword, unable to help but sigh repeatedly in his heart.
This guy, Luo Wenhui True Monarch, I don't know what kind of luck he had, to actually obtain such a high-end flying sword.
For someone who doesn't know sword arts, possessing the Startling Swan Sword is like casting pearls before swine; he can't unleash its full potential at all.
The tool spirit of the Startling Swan Sword spends most of its time in a dormant state, with only a few moments of awakening.
When it comes to other people's refinement, it instinctively resists. Although the resistance is limited, it can still be easily refined.
Of course, if one wants to completely refine this flying rainbow sword, it will take some effort.
Luo Wenhui True Monarch didn't thoroughly refine the Startling Swan Sword; he only roughly refined it, obtaining some basic control authority, and could barely use it.
This convenience was beneficial to Meng Zhang.
Regarding how to seize control of others' Fourth Rank magic tools and how to refine Fourth Rank magic tools, Meng Zhang had mastered quite a few practical secrets.
Meng Zhang didn't exert much effort and easily dispelled the Primordial Spirit imprint left by Luo Wenhui in the Startling Swan Sword.
Next, he used a secret method to awaken the Startling Swan Sword's tool spirit.
A young man dressed in white, with red lips and white teeth, appeared in front of Meng Zhang.
From the weak appearance of the young man, he was heavily injured and in poor condition.
Although he hadn't been in contact with the Startling Swan Sword for long, Meng Zhang had already felt some of its will.
The tool spirit of the Startling Swan Sword was very proud and only willing to submit to a master proficient in swordsmanship.
The original owner of the Startling Swan Sword was an extremely powerful sword master.
After the original owner of the Startling Swan Sword fell, the tool spirit also suffered heavy damage and fell into a slumber.
After many twists and turns, the Startling Swan Sword ended up in the hands of Luo Wenhui True Monarch.
Luo Wenhui True Monarch was not the satisfied owner of the Startling Swan Sword's tool spirit and had never obtained its full recognition.Of course, although the tool spirit of the Startling Swan Sword is proud, it is not foolish or rigid. When there is no other way, it knows how to adapt.
The tool spirit of the Startling Swan Sword temporarily submits to Luo Wenhui True Monarch, absorbing the power of his Primordial Spirit to nourish itself.
However, the tool spirit of the Startling Swan Sword has reservations and does not wholeheartedly serve Luo Wenhui True Monarch.
Luo Wenhui True Monarch himself has only average swordsmanship and is not skilled in sword fighting.
In his hands, the Startling Swan Sword is not much different from other magic tools, as he uses it conventionally.
Meng Zhang and Luo Wenhui True Monarch are fundamentally different. Meng Zhang has received advanced swordsmanship inheritance and possesses exceptional talent in sword art. Naturally, he wants to fully utilize the flying sword and unleash its full power.
Meng Zhang is not satisfied with superficial submission from the tool spirit of the Startling Swan Sword; he wants to completely subdue it.
The tool spirit of a Fourth Rank flying sword is also known as the Sword Spirit.
The most direct way to completely subdue it is to demonstrate superb swordsmanship, making it willingly submit.
Meng Zhang infused a large amount of Primordial Spirit power into the Startling Swan Sword, temporarily restoring some vitality to the tool spirit.
Without wasting words, Meng Zhang directly conveyed his intention to engage in a sword fight.
The sword spirit of the Startling Swan Sword calls itself the Startling Swan Son and calmly accepted Meng Zhang's challenge.
Meng Zhang does not want to win unfairly, nor does he want to rely on brute force.
He suppressed his Cultivation Base to match that of the Startling Swan Son, using True Essence to manifest a sharp sword, and began the battle.
For so many years, Meng Zhang has never put aside his swordsmanship.
Since his youth, he had a dream of soaring beyond the skies while controlling a sword.
Although he couldn't become a Sword Cultivator, he diligently practiced swordsmanship, investing a lot of time and effort into it.
Taiyi Sect didn't have exceptionally profound Sword Cultivator inheritances, but it did have several high-level swordsmanship techniques.
On his cultivation journey, Meng Zhang also came across fortuitous opportunities to receive swordsmanship teachings from other schools.
Although he couldn't claim to have assimilated the best of a hundred schools, he had accumulated rich experiences and broad knowledge in various sword arts.
After reaching the Primordial Spirit stage, he gradually integrated all the swordsmanship he had learned, making improvements and compensating for weaknesses, forming his unique style, which had a touch of the aura of a Sword Master.
