This Lesser Heavenly Sword was different from the previous one.
The previous Lesser Heavenly Sword could not be refined and was single-use.
It had only one strike; after that strike, it would be destroyed and rendered useless.
This Lesser Emperor's Sword, however, could be refined into his own.
It was equivalent to a spiritual treasure.
It could unleash only three sword strikes.
But that did not mean it would be destroyed after three strikes. It could very likely recover.
This was equivalent to having three life-saving talismans.
When he had encountered the Great Demon before, he had not dared to make a move, restraining himself again and again.
Now, the next time he encountered a Great Demon, he could draw his sword without hesitation.
One sword strike could slay a Great Demon.
Lu Wanshan said, "This sword does not count as a Heavenly Sword Clone, but it is enough for self-defense."
"Sect Leader, will it become useless after three strikes?"
"It would be best not to unleash all three strikes at once. If you do, it will need a long time to recover its power, and you will not be able to withstand the backlash of its power either."
"Yes." Chu Zhiyuan agreed. "After all three strikes are used, how long will it take to recover?"
"That depends on your cultivation." Lu Wanshan said. "The higher your cultivation, the shorter its recovery time."
"What about at my current level?"
"At your current level, you can at most wield two strikes. You cannot withstand the third. For two strikes, it will probably need a year to recover."
"What about three strikes?"
"Three strikes will take ten years."
"What about one strike?"
"Two months will suffice."
Chu Zhiyuan nodded slowly.
"Once you finish refining it, you will naturally understand." Lu Wanshan smiled.
