Potential for Spirit Transmutation
"Sword Light Transformation! I should have thought of that!"
During the conversation between Chen Mobai and Pei Azurefrost, Lou Fengcheng finally caught the key information. He spoke with a shocked expression, which drew puzzled looks from the Foundation Establishment True Cultivator of the Sky Mending Dao Academy beside him.
"What is Sword Light Transformation? Is it a technique for using a sword?"
On the platform of the neighboring Supreme Origin Academy, Tao Mingqing asked directly.
"It's a realm of swordsmanship!"
"Realms? Among the Nine Sword Dao Realms, there doesn't seem to be a ' Sword Light Transformation '?"
As one of the most popular professions in the Immortal Sect, Sword Cultivator are well-known for their Major Realm, but Tao Mingqing had never heard of "Sword Light Transformation".
"The Sword Light Transformation is not within the Major Realm of ' One Sword Breaks Ten Thousand Laws,' but rather on another path of swordsmanship: ' One Sword Creates Ten Thousand Laws.'"
"One Sword Creates Ten Thousand Laws? I think I've heard of that."
Although within the Immortal Sect, only those Core Formation Sword Cultivator would have access to and understand information about the "One Sword Creates Ten Thousand Laws" technique, Lou Fengcheng and Tao Mingqing, the most core students of the Daoist Academy, had still heard about this subject through extensive extracurricular reading and learning.
Lou Fengcheng that the practice of the "Square Inch Book" is a process of accumulating a large amount of knowledge. The more one knows, the more powerful this technique becomes.
In the process of learning about Sword Cultivator, he explored the Major Realm of "One Sword Breaks Ten Thousand Laws" and also learned about the less common "One Sword Creates Ten Thousand Laws". He remembered that this sword path was the most difficult, but it had been proven to be the supreme path that could lead to the top.
"' Sword Light Transformation ' is the sign that you have stepped into the threshold of ' One Sword Creates Ten Thousand Laws '. If you have the opportunity, you can go further on this path. Old Ancestor Bai Guang has successfully walked the path of ' One Sword Creates Ten Thousand Laws ' and his Primordial Spirit Lodging Sword."
Just as everyone was filled with doubt, Lou Fengcheng calmly said something that caused everyone's expression to change drastically.
"The Path to Godhood!"
"This guy is incredibly terrifying."
"No wonder he was able to overpower all of us with only the third level of Foundation Establishment. It turns out that it was the Old Ancestor Bai Guang's talent."
"This person's talent already makes him the number one swordsman in the Immortal Sect for a thousand years!"
Upon hearing Lou Fengcheng's words, the hundred-plus Foundation Establishment True Cultivator, who were already intimidated by Chen Mobai's combat abilities, finally accepted the fact that they were no match for him.
It's normal that they can't beat him; if they could, wouldn't that mean that the Old Ancestor Bai Guang was all talk and no action?
However, while the Foundation Establishment True Cultivator below accepted it, Xiahou Weihuan and others Foundation Ranking, Chen Mobai's opponents in the following days could not accept it.
Although they were all the Proud Son of Heaven of their respective schools, after cultivating to this point, they only hoped to successfully Core Formation, and some with higher aspirations only dreamed of forming their Nascent Formation.
However, the guy in front of me now has the potential to become a god.
No wonder he dared to challenge these top Foundation Establishment True Cultivator the Immortal Sect all by himself. If he didn't have this kind of courage, he really wouldn't have been able to become a Nascent Soul cultivator.
[' Sword Light Transformation ' merely represents the initial stage of "One Sword Creates Ten Thousand Laws." Its combat ability at this level is inferior to ' Sword Light Condensing Sha ' at the same level. I can still win!]
Xiahou Weihuan said this to himself. As the Sword Cultivator second only to Pei Azurefrost and Chen Mobai present, he also knew that One Sword Creates Ten Thousand Laws, but he had not thought of it before.
However, at this point, no matter how strong Chen Mobai was, Xiahou Weihuan would not bow down and admit defeat.
Moreover, he had mastered the most powerful Primordial Yang Sword Sha in the immortal Immortal Sect. If they were to fight head-on, unless it was Wenren Xuewei, a monster with an Infinity health bar, he was confident that he could defeat any opponent of the same realm.
"You're next to face him. Are you going to concede?"
Seeing that Lou Fengcheng's expression was a bit unpleasant, Tao Mingqing asked him a question with a teasing tone.
"' Sword Light Transformation ' only means that he has stepped onto the path of One Sword Creates Ten Thousand Laws. In the thousands of years of the Immortal Sect, there have been many Sword Cultivator of this level, but in the end, the only one whose Primordial Spirit Lodging Sword was the Old Ancestor Bai Guang."
Provoked by Tao Mingqing's words, Lou Fengcheng calmed down and returned to his usual self.
"That's right. So what if he really has the Potential for Spirit Transmutation? Senior Lou, you've mastered the ' Square Inch Book,' and even Ancestor Qianxing used the ' Square Inch Book ' to become a Nascent Soul cultivator. By comparison, Senior Lou, you also Potential for Spirit Transmutation."
A Foundation Establishment True Cultivator from the Sky Mending Dao Academy flattered him.
The Immortal Sect Twin Saints, Star Pulling Baiguang! Among them, the Ancestor Qianxing came from the Supreme Origin Academy. After graduating, he successfully Graduate Exam and entered the Sky Mending Dao Academy for further study.
It was during this period that the ancestor received the inheritance of the Square Inch Book, laying the foundation for his transformation into a deity.
Therefore, it is not unreasonable to say that Lou Fengcheng, who mastered the "Square Inch Book", was Potential for Spirit Transmutation.
However, Lou Fengcheng himself was very clear-headed; he knew that he could not win this battle.
But in order to prove something to his allies, he still had to get involved.
Even if he loses, he wants to drag it out long enough.
The longer the sparring match lasts, the more information the "Square Inch Book" gathers, making it easier to deduce the opponent's weaknesses.
You must have mastered the Sword Demon Technique, right?
Xiahou Weihuan was still glaring at Chen Mobai when Lou Fengcheng's words suddenly reached his ears, causing his eyes to widen in surprise.
[This Square Inch Book is truly extraordinary; you actually recognized it.]
After all, they were allies now, Xiahou Weihuan immediately nodded in agreement.
[Meet me at the usual place tonight. I'll rearrange the tactics. From now on, Mingqing and I will pave the way for your duel with him. I hope your sword aura won't disappoint us.]
Upon hearing Lou Fengcheng's words, Xiahou Weihuan clenched his fist confidently and uttered a very domineering statement.
If I lose, I will never use a sword again!
Chen Mobai was naturally unaware of the alliance between his rivals, but even if he had known, he wouldn't have cared.
After all, there won't be another Wenren Xuewei.
The power of "The Square Inch Book" lies in its intelligence. Although he has already made five moves, his biggest trump card, Sword Fiend, has not yet been revealed. Lou Fengcheng to lose against him.
Although Tao Mingqing was ranked fifth on the Foundation Ranking, Chen Mobai felt that his true strength might not be as good as Lou Fengcheng's. However, his foundation might be slightly deeper, so Ding Chunzhi ranked him ahead of Lou Fengcheng.
Although Qi Huanzhi had also mastered a portion of the "Six Imperial Scripture," Chen Mobai was confident that he could break it with his sword aura.
Xiahou Weihuan couldn't withstand his own sword aura.
Only with Pei Azurefrost did Chen Mobai sense a chilling, bone-deep sword intent during their several eye contact.
Considering that even Lan Haitan was unwilling to fight her, it's easy to imagine that she was another formidable opponent who could force him to go all out.
I just don't know if she's as resilient as Wenren Xuewei; I hope she's not the kind that breaks at the slightest touch.
After considering all their upcoming opponents, Chen Mobai and Wenren Xuewei left the stage at the same time and returned to their respective Dao Academy's platform.
"Wenren Xuewei has stopped there."
Chen Mobai came up, Chi Shicheng suddenly spoke up.
"Oh, what do you mean?"
"Here, she could have borrowed the power of the Great Camphor Tree itself, but she didn't. Perhaps she felt that it would be unfair to win, or perhaps she wanted to fight you fairly."
After hearing Chi Shicheng's words, Chen Mobai realized that it was indeed true.
Earlier, when this Offline Sparring had just begun, Wenren Xuewei had said that she could use the Great Camphor Tree to suppress anyone present.
However, when she fought Chen Mobai, she only managed to use this power to crush the "Fire Chain Art" when she was about to be dragged off the lake and onto the arena.
"Jialan, could you ask Senior Wenren when she's free? I want to invite her to dinner."
Chen Mobai, however, felt that this matter could be clarified in person.
However, as a man, it would be too embarrassing for him to invite a woman so abruptly and be rejected, so he sent Zhuang Jialan ahead to pave the way.
"You don't need to ask now. Go after I leave."
After speaking, Chen Mobai watched two more matches of his own Dao Academy's members sparring on the platform.
Zhongli Tianyu won easily, but Jiang Yuyuan encountered a senior student from the Five Thunder Academy who was at the fourth level of Foundation Establishment. Although she was his fan, she did not hold back during the sparring match and decisively defeated him.
After Zhai Jianbai left the stage, Chen Mobai stopped watching and left early as usual.
After a while, Zhuang Jialan's text message came through.
It is said that Wenren Xuewei will be having tea at the Curving Water Pavilion in the evening, and if Chen Mobai has something to do, he can go to see her at that time.
Where is the Curving Water Pavilion?
Inside the Alchemy room, Chen Mobai asked Qing Nü a question.
"On the west side of Wood God Island, there are many pavilions extending from the island, which can also be considered as Cultivation Room for our Dao Academy. Curving Water Pavilion is one of them, but it seems that that place has been reserved by Senior Wenren for a long time. Where are you going today?"
Qing Nü suddenly realized what she was saying, turned around and stared at Chen Mobai with wide eyes.
"Yes, I fought Wenren Xuewei today. Her Evergreen Technique is indeed powerful. She actually forced me to a draw. However, I have some doubts about this sparring match and need to ask her about it in person."
Chen Mobai did not hide anything from Qing Nü and told her the truth.
"You and Senior Wenren tied!?"
Qing Nü found it hard to believe. Having experienced the wonders of the Evergreen Technique firsthand, she knew best the power of this Spirit Transmutation Great Law.
With Xiantian innate advantage and the fact that she was fighting next to the Great Camphor Tree, even if Lan Haitan came, he probably wouldn't be a match for Wenren Xuewei.
"It's a tie, but Senior Chi said she might have held back. I'm planning to ask her about it tonight."
Qing Nü took a deep breath and looked the handsome young man up and down again.
Although I knew he was a formidable fighter back in Vermilion Cloud City, I never imagined that even Wenren Xuewei had mastered the Evergreen Technique, couldn't defeat him.
The title given to him by the True Person Scarlet Robe was indeed correct.
Magic Combat Victor! "Go quickly and return quickly."
Qing Nü couldn't think of any reason to stop Chen Mobai from Wenren Xuewei, so she could only say these four words.
"What do you want for a late-night snack tonight? I'll bring it to you when I get back."
"Bring more barbecue, I feel like I've gotten too thin lately."
Chen Mobai was a little stunned by Qing Nü's words.
"Oh, okay."
He was just saying it casually, but she actually took it seriously.
Curving Water Pavilion.
When Chen Mobai arrived, he found that Wenren Xuewei was not alone.
"I've met both of you senior students."
Besides Wenren Xuewei, with her flowing black hair and long green dress, there was also a woman with a cool temperament and extremely beautiful, fair skin.
The two were sitting together drinking tea, so they must be of the same generation. Calling her "senior sister" would definitely be appropriate.
"Originally, Cui'er was also coming, but she said that if she met you beforehand, the sword intent she had been cultivating might be triggered by you prematurely, so she didn't come."
"Who is Cui'er...?"
Chen Mobai asked questions when he didn't understand.
"Cui'er is Pei Azurefrost. Her original name was Pei Cui. After obtaining the Azurefrost Sword, she changed her name to Pei Azurefrost in order to perfectly match the sword."
Wenren Xuewei smiled and spoke, then pointed to an empty seat, indicating that Chen Mobai should sit down.
"I see. After fighting with Senior Wenren, among the remaining opponents, only Senior Pei makes me look forward to it."
After Chen Mobai sat down, he spoke his mind.
What do you want from me?
Did the senior student hold back today?
Upon hearing this, Wenren Xuewei paused in her tea-making, looking over with a strange expression.
Why do you think that?
Chen Mobai relayed Chi Shicheng's assessment, Wenren Xuewei nodded in understanding.
"I suppose so, but don't think I can perfectly control the Great Camphor Tree. The Everlasting Evergreen Technique's constant state is an agreement made between our Goumang Dao Academy's founder and the Great Camphor Divine Tree, which means we can passively utilize its power. However, if we want to actively control the Great Camphor Tree's power, I need to actively consume my own spiritual power and Spiritual Sense."
"I already experienced the pain of almost having my body riddled with holes just from fighting you. Even if I managed to suppress you by borrowing the power of the Great Camphor Tree, I'll probably be bedridden for a year and a half afterward."
"If you are that kind of mortal enemy, I am naturally willing, but it's just a friendly spar, there's no need for that. Besides, we Goumang and your Dance Weapon are brother schools with thousands of years of friendship."
After hearing Wenren Xuewei's explanation, Chen Mobai suddenly understood.
At this moment, she handed him a cup of tea, which Chen Mobai immediately accepted.
"However, considering the friendship between our two Dao Academy, you, my junior, didn't hold back at all when you were fighting me. When my body was pierced with holes on the stage, I was so angry that I almost couldn't help but fight back."
Chen Mobai could only smile awkwardly, lower his head to drink his tea, and change the subject while offering compliments.
"Senior, you are truly wise and righteous; I am far inferior to you. By the way, I still don't know your name?"
"I am Yan Qiongzhi, and I often hear Xuan'er mention you."
Wenren Xuewei could even introduce her, Yan Qiongzhi had already spoken up.
"So you are a senior. Last time in Vermilion Cloud City, you were wearing a veil. It is only today that I have seen your stunning face. I did not recognize you at first. My apologies."
At this moment, Wenren Xuewei couldn't help but ask a question.
"You little rascal, how come you speak in the same tone as those old officials?"
