Between heaven and earth,
everything was obscured by terrifying flashes of lightning.
The lightning flashed for a long time, enduring for a long time, until something fundamental began to change.
In the occasional gaps between flashes of lightning, one could vaguely see the Youth in Green Robes, utterly withered, pale-faced, and exceedingly weak, sitting cross-legged between two Lightning Swords.
Another ten-odd years passed.
The lightning and Destruction Light between heaven and earth dispersed.
Jiang Ding's aura was even weaker, his face a sickly yellow, his body frail and swaying as though he might fall at any moment, looking utterly spent and at the end of his wick.
"Ha ha ha!"
"Ha ha ha..."
Yet he was laughing, laughing wildly without end.
"Supreme Clarity Flying Sword,"
"you are now a quasi-Seventh Order Sword Embryo!"
Jiang Ding held his Natal Flying Sword in both hands and shouted in jubilation, "Merely refining a wisp of the essence of the Lightning Destruction Flying Sword was enough to leap into a quasi-Seventh Order Sword Embryo!"
"Achieving a Seventh Order Sword Embryo in the future will be as easy as breathing. There can't possibly be any difficulty at all."
A Seventh Order Sword Embryo or Sixth-grade Sword Embryo referred to a flying sword's potential, foundation, and accumulated heritage, not its magical treasure rank. Those were two entirely different things.
When Jiang Ding first obtained the Supreme Clarity Flying Sword Embryo, he had merely been a mortal, not even a Qi Refining cultivator. Yet the Supreme Clarity Flying Sword had already been a Sixth-grade Sword Embryo then.
The rank of a sword embryo and the rank of a flying sword were two completely different things.
"Eighth Order Sword Embryo!"
"Sword Child, just what kind of Sword Dao Heavenly Talent did you slay during this journey..."
