Magic Item Soul Shocking Silk, Battling Shu Sword Pavilion Sword Cultivator

One month later, inside the spacious cave abode of the Longevity Sect.

With the help of He Yingyu and Xu Wei, Chen Dengming combed his hair, put on his robes, and donned his Pearl Crown. Looking at his reflection in the mirror, where he appeared as a dignified and enlightened master, he sighed at his current life of enjoying the blessings of having multiple wives and said...

"Actually, it's just getting dressed. I can handle these things myself. You two don't need to be so attentive."

He Yingyu rolled her eyes with a charming smile and said, "Don't pretend you're innocent after getting a good deal. Are you trying to say you don't need the two of us to serve you, and are you looking for an excuse to bring a few more maids to the cave abode to serve Old Chen?"

Chen Dengming shook his head with a smile, "That's not it, it's just that you are, after all, a False Core Great Cultivator."

"What's wrong with fake pills?"

He Yingyu snorted, "Outside, I'm the dignified and powerful He False Core, but at home, I'm your submissive little concubine. Isn't that the kind of person you like?"

She smiled at Xu Wei, took Xu Wei's hand, and said, "Besides, Weiwei can serve you, and so can I."

Xu Wei covered her mouth and laughed, "That won't do. There are some things that only you can handle, sister. I can't keep up for long."

As she said this, she felt a little sore inside; in the past, she would never have shown weakness.

He Yingyu was taken aback, then immediately understood what Xu Wei was talking about. Her pretty face flushed red, making her look incredibly alluring. She grabbed Xu Wei's hand and said, "You little rascal, Weiwei, you always like to undermine me. Let's see if you can last long tonight."

"I can't take it anymore, I can't take it anymore. You have to be the one to handle this kind of thing."

"No, we sisters are of one mind, we must stay together!"

The two laughed and playfully pinched each other, showing their very good relationship.

Seeing the two women like this, Chen Dengming couldn't help but recall their beautiful figures from yesterday, their slender waists that were so delicate yet so supple, and their fair skin that rivaled the color of ice and snow. He couldn't help but feel slightly hot.

However, considering that he had been cultivating far too frequently since returning recently, he immediately coughed and stood up.

"Alright, you wish. I'm not going to cultivate with you tonight."

Senior sister, now that I've successfully crafted my Law Treasure, why don't you go out and give it a try?

The Sect Mission begins in three days, and we'll be setting off then.

Just yesterday, He Yingyu successfully used her Core Power to fuse one of Han Yongxu's Law Treasure and refine a magic Law Treasure tailor-made for Chen Dengming.

The Law Treasure belongs to the Third-tier Magic Item category.

However, once Law Artifact reaches the third tier, it is forged from the fire of Core Power, and the materials used in its forging are extremely precious, resulting in great power; hence, it is called a treasure.

The Law Treasure that He Yingyu tailored for Chen Dengming was a main battle magic Law Treasure that was refined based on Chen Dengming's fighting style, his own strengths and weaknesses, etc. It was more suitable for him to use and was much stronger than a ready-made magic Law Treasure that could be purchased directly.

Law Treasure like the harp used by Han Yongxu and the Soul Bell used by Lin He are completely unsuitable for Chen Dengming to use. They cannot unleash the full power of these Law Treasure and are even inferior to some Second-tier High-grade Magic Item.

Before embarking on the sect's Beheading Mission, obtaining a tailor-made magic Law Treasure felt like adding wings to a tiger for Chen Dengming.

He Yingyu said, "Since Junior Brother wants to test his Law Treasure, let's go to the Illusory True Cave. It's similar to the Heart Refining Cave of the Evergreen Sect. I heard it can simulate many opponents for practical combat training. Weiwei and I won't go."

"Oh? It seems that the Heart Refining Cave of the Evergreen Sect was built in imitation of the Illusory True Cave of the Longevity Sect, which must have required a lot of Sect Contribution."

"It not only consumes Sect Contribution, but I've also heard it consumes a certain amount of spirit crystals."

Chen Dengming simply said "Oh," not taking it too seriously.

He has a lot of spirit crystals now.

After taking over the Lin family's assets, his pockets bulged, and now he's quite wealthy and powerful.

Although much of the Lin family's wealth was used for setting up formations and cultivation, the remaining fortune still amounted to more than two thousand High-grade Spirit Crystal.

If we also include Lin He's two Law Treasure, then there are even more.

Chen Dengming even considered gritting his teeth, selling a Law Treasure, and buying a Third-tier Spirit Boat to give He Yingyu a surprise.

However, the thought of becoming penniless immediately after buying Third-tier Spirit Boat made him temporarily suppress his inflated desires.

After an incense stick has burned.

Inside the Longevity Sect's Illusory True Cave.

A Foundation Establishment Deacon named Jiang Tengda politely explained the situation of the Illusory True Cave to Chen Dengming.

"Senior Brother Chen, you come from the Evergreen Sect. This Illusion Cave is actually no different from your sect's Heart Refining Cave, only it's more advanced. It stores more information about your enemies, and even cultivators in the Golden Core Mid Stage are recorded in it."

"Huh?"

Chen Dengming looked surprised. "It can even simulate Golden Core Great Cultivator? That's really impressive."

The Heart Refining Cave within the Evergreen Sect can at most simulate enemies at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage for actual combat, which is a huge difference.

Jiang Tengda laughed and said, "Last time, Senior Brother Chen and Senior True Man Yu Ding defeated the Blazing Flame Blood Devil together. Afterwards, Senior Master Yuding came and recorded the information from the Sound-Image Pearl into the Formation of the Illusory True Cave, in exchange for a lot of Sect Contribution."

"Within this Illusion Cave, there are now reports of the Blazing Flame Blood Devil's battle."

"Can I exchange information about my opponent for Sect Contribution if I enter it into the Illusion Cave?"

Chen Dengming was surprised, because the Heart Refining Cave of the Evergreen Sect did not have this rule.

Jiang Tengda said, "That's natural. As long as you record a battle with the Sound-Image Pearl, you can store it inside the Illusory True Cave as battle information. The stronger or more special the enemy, the better."

For example, combat information about rare Demon Beast like the Flood Dragon is rarely recorded within the Illusory True Cave. The more such combat information is recorded, the more Sect Contribution one can obtain."

"It's a pity. I don't have the habit of bringing my Sound-Image Pearl with me when I go out. I'll have to remember that next time," Chen Dengming said regretfully and with a touch of heartache.

We should learn from True Man Yu Ding: always carry Sound-Image Pearl with you when you go out, record every battle you have, earn Sect Contribution, and benefit the disciples—how awesome is that?

He has fought against many Golden Core Great Cultivators.

If all of these were recorded using the Sound-Image Pearl and entered into the Illusory True Cave, it would surely yield considerable Sect Contribution.

The Sect Contribution of the Longevity Sect are quite valuable. If you accumulate enough contributions, you can even directly exchange them for Golden Core Law Treasure, or third- or even fourth-order Nascent Soul Dao techniques.

"Junior Brother Jiang, give me an opponent at the Golden Core Early Stage. I want to test the power of the Law Treasure that Madam just refined."

Jiang Tengda felt a pang of sadness upon hearing this.

Is this stinky Senior Brother trying to show off his wife in front of him?

It's true what they say, comparisons are odious. He's still single and hasn't even seen what Law Treasure looks like, while Senior Brother Chen has a fake elixir-wielding wife.

The key is that the lady is also very capable; she can even refine Law Treasure, which is truly enviable.

Despite his jealousy, Jiang Tengda didn't show it on his face. He explained, "There are many types of opponents in the Golden Core Early Stage, including ordinary cultivators, Tiandao Sect cultivators, Shu Sword Pavilion cultivators, and Golden Core Demon Beast. The amount of spirit crystals required for each type varies."

Chen Dengming was surprised, "Oh? I heard that the Golden Core Cultivator the Tiandao Sect and the Shu Sword Pavilion are all incredibly powerful. Junior Brother, please find me an opponent from the Shu Sword Pavilion."

Jiang Tengda: "To simulate the Golden Core Early Stage cultivation of the Shu Sword Pavilion, you need twenty High-grade Spirit Crystal and the time required is equivalent to the time it takes to brew a cup of tea."

Chen Dengming clicked his tongue upon hearing this, feeling a pang of regret.

The resources required to simulate an opponent of Golden Core Early Stage cultivator exceed those required to travel back and forth to the South via the Five Sects' teleportation array.

However, considering that Golden Core Early Stage cultivators often deplete the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi when they make a move, it is indeed necessary to use a lot of spirit crystals to simulate this.

"Twenty High-grade Spirit Crystal for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea. That's really expensive, and the experience is far too short."

Chen Dengming felt both emotional and pained. He had been used to being poor and knew how expensive daily necessities were, but he couldn't bear not experiencing it now.

He still feigned nonchalance and took out twenty High-grade Spirit Crystal from his Storage Bag to pay.

With so many spirit crystals, I could buy a decent second-tier top-tier magic Law Artifact. I hope this experience was worthwhile.

"Senior Brother Chen is really generous and rich."

Seeing Chen Dengming take out twenty High-grade Spirit Crystal, Jiang Tengda was filled with envy, while secretly laughing to himself. This Senior Brother Chen was getting a bit arrogant, probably losing himself in the boasting of some Senior Brother.

The Golden Core Great Cultivator from the Shu Sword Pavilion is a renowned Sword Cultivator, famous for his formidable fighting skills.

No matter how powerful a fake pill from the Longevity Sect is, he's just the tallest among the short.

To fight against a Golden Sword Cultivator like this, being able to last ten breaths would be considered an incredible feat; a cup of tea would be more than enough.

A short while later.

Inside the Illusion Cave.

The environment transformed into a secluded mountain forest with ancient vines as the power of the Formation shifted.

Chen Dengming, residing in the mountains, summoned the Soul Shocking Silk Law Treasure crafted for him by He Yingyu.

In an instant, strands of transparent silk, shimmering like the aurora borealis under the influence of his Core Power, surrounded him, emanating an extremely sharp aura that seemed to make the air itself become sharper.

This Soul Shocking Silk was crafted by He Yingyu after she melted down Han Yongxu's harp Law Treasure.

Once activated, thousands of Soul Shocking Silk are launched, easily piercing through the enemy like sieves.

Moreover, these gossamer threads can be both soft and hard. When they are condensed into a single thread, they can transform into a sharp longsword or a flying sword. When they are spread out, they can form a net or a protective shield, with endless wonderful uses.

He didn't have to wait long.

Suddenly, a sword light shone from the opposite mountain forest, soaring straight into the sky in an instant.

A powerful sword aura, accompanied by blinding Golden Light, arrived with earth-shattering force.

"Wandering freely with my sword, vanquishing demons across the land! The True Person of the Shu Sword Pavilion is here to exorcise demons; all idlers, retreat!"

The newcomer let out a long howl, its power astonishing.

Chen Dengming hadn't even seen the approaching figure clearly from hundreds of feet away when he saw a figure of Sword Qi carrying astonishing Sword Qi energy rapidly approaching through the blurry air. The mountains and forests in front of him were instantly cut into pieces by the astonishing sword energy, bringing Chen Dengming immense pressure.

"It seems that this is a record of the demon-slaying process of the Golden Core Cultivator of the Shu Sword Pavilion, made by one of our sect's seniors using the Sound-Image Pearl. So, I've now become that demon to be slain?"

As this thought crossed Chen Dengming's mind, the Golden Core cultivator from the Shu Sword Pavilion opposite him was already nearly a hundred feet away.

An extremely terrifying spiritual power rushed towards us, accompanied by Sword Qi as swift as a whirlwind.

Chen Dengming felt his mind instantly tremble, and for a moment, a horrific image flashed in his mind of being torn to pieces by the Sword Qi.

Before even exchanging blows, the pressure was already so intense that his mind trembled, his heart palpitated, and he felt powerless. The light of the Law Treasure around him dimmed as his mind was suppressed.

The Sword Cultivator of the Shu Sword Pavilion, a Golden Core cultivator, whose sword aura combined with spiritual power was emitted from a distance, actually surpassed the pressure exerted on Lin He, Golden Core Great Cultivator.

In a flash, Chen Dengming forced himself to calm down, and Silver Light shone in his Sea of Consciousness, immediately dispelling the feeling of fear.

"Bring it on!"

He shouted, Soul Shocking Silk surrounding his body instantly condensed forward, then emitted a blinding white light.

Boom--

Thousands of Soul Shocking Silk seemed to coalesce into a blazing white beam of light, shooting out with unparalleled speed, like mercury spilling onto the ground.

In the blink of an eye, the attacking Golden Sword Cultivator unleashed Sword Qi that crashed down like a collapsing pillar of heaven. Thousands of Sword Qi converged into a vast river of sword energy, approaching with unparalleled Sword Intent.

A deafening explosion followed.

Chen Dengming's ears were filled with the sound of countless fragments shattering into countless ringing sounds.

The Soul Shocking Silk he had just released was swiftly torn apart by a series of flashing sword lights, as if peeling away layers of silk.

In the blink of an eye, the thousands of Soul Shocking Silk that had been condensed into a single thread collapsed once again.

It's like a giant peacock spreading its colorful tail feathers, flying freely and unrestrained.

A sharp sword light, accompanied by a dazzling light and shadow like the sun, instantly approached.

The terrifying spiritual power, like a blinding blazing sun, burned Chen Dengming as if his very soul was about to be scorched.

Chen Dengming quickly retreated, ceasing his probing. With a hand seal, two silver Daoist runes merged into the Soul Shocking Silk, transforming into specks of light that spread out like a net, protecting his vital points as he retreated rapidly.

"A trivial skill!"

The Golden Sword Cultivator from the Shu Sword Pavilion coldly snorted and made a hand seal. In an instant, the sword light split into countless, dense rays, like a torrential downpour from the sky, continuing to attack Chen Dengming through the gaps in the net, making it difficult for the enemy to dodge.

Chen Dengming was startled and immediately made a hand seal to use the Substitute Peach for Plum technique.

With a 'bang'.

A piece of wood was torn apart by the flash of the sword.

Chen Dengming appeared fifty feet away, but in the blink of an eye, a torrential downpour of Sword Qi rushed towards him.

"Freeze!"

As Chen Dengming made a hand seal, Myriad Gold Pearl instantly shone brightly, transforming into a golden shield.

At the same time, his entire body, clad in Mysterious Gold Robe, shimmered with Golden Light, revealing a Solid as Gold protective shield.

His entire body shone with a dazzling Silver Light. He used Daoist script to perform the Indestructible Vajra Zen Skill, causing his physique to swell dramatically. His bones crackled and popped repeatedly, his muscles bulged, and his hair flew wildly, as if Vajra had descended to earth.

Click!

Upon initial contact, the Myriad Gold Pearl was torn apart by the Sword Qi, shattering into countless metal fragments.

The Solid as Gold protective barrier formed by the Mysterious Gold Robe also collapsed.

"That strong?"

Chen Dengming's expression changed, and he immediately crossed his arms to block in front of him, but was blasted away with a 'clang'.

On the other side, the Golden Sword Cultivator unleashed a sword strike, the air compressed by the Sword Qi forming a terrifying golden shockwave that slammed into the rapidly contracting, net-like Soul Shocking Silk, attempting to tear it apart instantly.

However, a silver power flowed across the surface of the Soul Shocking Silk. This sharp Sword Qi collapsed the moment it collided with the silver power, instead shaking the net and creating violent sonic tremors that vibrated the mind and made people dizzy.

The Soul Shocking Silk was crafted from Han Yongxu's harp Law Treasure and possesses its own sonic attack. Once triggered, it is like being bombarded with demonic sounds.

"Um?"

The first time the Golden Core Sword Cultivator of the Shu Sword Pavilion changed color.

In the woods, Chen Dengming, whose body seemed to have swelled and grown several feet taller, and whose whole body was filled with dazzling Silver Light, got up from the ground and cursed under his breath.

He glanced down at the powerful, iron-like arms, which had been cleaved open with deep, bone-revealing wounds, and his pupils contracted.

Damn, that's incredible!

This Golden Core Great Cultivator from the Shu Sword Pavilion is too powerful!

Since the Daoist culture turned into a silver liquid, when he used the Indestructible Vajra Zen Skill, he could transform into a small giant whose body was filled with the power of the Daoist culture.

Not only have their strength and speed increased exponentially, but their physical defenses have also become astonishingly strong.

Even when He Yingyu unleashed her full power with the comb, it only managed to tear his skin, failing to cause significant damage.

This Golden Sword Cultivator's Sword Qi actually managed to break through the protection of the Myriad Gold Pearl and the Mysterious Gold Robe, and still manage to cleave his arm like this; its destructive power is astonishing.

Just then, a dozen metallic tremors came from the other side, and the Daoist power infused into the Soul Shocking Silk was completely worn away.

Chen Dengming immediately made a hand seal.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh--

The shattered Myriad Gold Pearl quickly gathered together, transforming into thousands of blades that all crashed towards the Golden Core Sword Cultivator opposite them.

At the same time, his hands formed a Tai Chi symbol, and suddenly his right hand shot out from a distance, his whole body enveloped in Gang Qi.

Dao Wen's silvery Dao power instantly poured into the Soul Shocking Silk again. Using the method of circulating Innate Qi Skill, countless Soul Shocking Silk dispersed once more, shooting towards the Golden Core Sword Cultivator.

In an instant, that area was overwhelmed by Chen Dengming's offensive.

The air was violently turbulent, the air currents were raging, and countless shockwaves collided fiercely with the Sword Qi.

Suddenly, Chen Dengming felt a jolt in his heart, his hair stood on end, and without hesitation, he summoned the Divine Transformation Blade.

At the same time, a startling long howl came from the front, transforming into an incredibly concentrated and dazzling beam of Sword Qi that attacked.

Chen Dengming also let out a sharp shout, and a dazzling silver light shot into the sky.

The Divine Transformation Blade transformed into a gigantic blade of energy eight zhang long.

He was like a small silver giant wielding a huge side sword, colliding with a golden sun that was hurtling towards him.

Boom!

A ring-shaped shockwave, shimmering with gold and silver, spread outwards, snapping surrounding trees and sending countless branches and leaves flying through the air.

Outside the Illusory True Cave, Jiang Tengda leaned against a cabinet, looking at the Formation inside the cave, which was still in operation, with a surprised expression.

The Formation Flag fluttered fiercely, and Spiritual Qi surged, indicating that the battle within was quite intense.

He glanced suspiciously at the hourglass beside him, noticing that half the time it takes to drink a cup of tea had already passed, and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"What happened? Did I choose the wrong opponent for Senior Brother Chen? Did I start him up wrong? How could he last so long?"

After a while, just as Jiang Tengda was about to lose his composure, the Formation inside the Illusory True Cave suddenly quieted down.

Chen Dengming emerged from the cave, his face slightly pale.

Jiang Tengda breathed a sigh of relief, but was secretly alarmed.

This Senior Brother Chen seems to have truly astonishing combat power; he's managed to hold out for so long.

However, he tried his best to remain calm and walked over with a smile, "Senior Brother Chen, how is it? How strong are the Golden Core Sword Cultivator of the Shu Sword Pavilion? Aren't they very powerful?"

Chen Dengming exhaled, gave a thumbs up, and forced a smile, "Strong! Really strong! As expected of Sword Cultivator."

Jiang Tengda Senior Brother, "That's right. I was already very surprised that you could hold out for so long before you were defeated. Senior Brother truly have exceptional combat strength."

Chen Dengming's expression froze for a moment, then he nodded slightly and said solemnly, "There are so many heroes in the world; the disciples of major sects should not be underestimated."

He wanted to say that he hadn't actually lost; on the contrary, he had killed the Sword Cultivator. However, to keep a low profile, he decided it was better not to say it.

The Sword Cultivator of the Shu Sword Pavilion were, after all, simulated, and they only used the same few moves and Technique Method recorded in the Sound-Image Pearl, which lacked flexibility.

It is indeed very strong, but once you can withstand that kind of offensive, you can naturally kill the opponent when they keep using the same old tricks.

Therefore, the simulated Golden Sword Cultivator may only possess 60-70% of the combat power of a real Golden Sword Cultivator.

Before the Soul Shocking Silk was refined, Chen Dengming would have had a very difficult time killing this simulated entity, and even protecting himself would have been a challenge.

However, after the creation of the Soul Shocking Silk, Law Treasure that could be used for both offense and defense and was controllable, his combat power had increased significantly once again.

After bidding farewell to Jiang Tengda, Chen Dengming returned to his cave abode.

He recounted the experience of trying out the Law Treasure to He Yingyu, expressing his satisfaction with Law Treasure power.

This was the first Law Treasure he had ever acquired in his cultivation journey, and he cherished it greatly. He put his arm around He Yingyu's shoulder and smiled with appreciation, "Thank you for your hard work in crafting this Law Treasure, my wife!"

He Yingyu smiled and asked, "Then how should my Husband reward me?"

"I'll arrange the reward tonight! You wanted it too, didn't you, Madam?"

"Ugh! Weiwei's still watching."

"Let's do it together tonight!"

Three days later.

Outside the gate of the Longevity Sect Mountain Gate.

A giant Fourth-tier Spirit Boat, hundreds of feet long and over twenty feet high, hovered outside the Mountain Gate.

This colossal, mountain-like structure carried many disciples of the Longevity Sect, and the atmosphere was solemn.

Chen Dengming and a group of False Core Great Cultivator were having a serious discussion on the top deck of the spirit ship.

Today is the day we must set out to carry out the Beheading Mission.

Not only did Chen Dengming and his group of six have a mission, but other cultivators within the sect also had other missions.

This spirit boat was the one that transported everyone to the front Battlefield.

Most of the cultivators in the Longevity Sect were unwilling to go to the Battlefield, preferring to live a life of quiet desperation. However, given the sect's current needs, they had no choice but to fulfill their duties.
