Treasure, the Sword Mother Crystal Embryo
The resentment surrounding the Sword Devil Demon surged violently, and the wills of countless sword spirits struggled and hesitated.
The resentment accumulated over thousands of years could not ultimately outweigh the desire for "eternity" and the obsession with "regaining the edge of power".
The crimson flames of resentment gradually faded, the broken sword fragments on the demonic figure fell off one by one, and the pitch-black resentment dissipated like a tide, finally transforming into a pure and condensed black sword spirit carrying countless sword auras.
It bowed deeply to Li Yunjing, then transformed into a streak of light and rushed towards the Nine True Magnetic Light Sword.
The sword instantly emitted a long, earth-shaking cry, its nine-colored magnetic light surged a thousand feet, and countless profound sword patterns appeared on its surface, completely merging with the sword spirit.
The surrounding void shattered with a clang of swords, and the world returned to its original state. Li Yunjing remained standing in the same spot, the Nine True Magnetic Light Sword in his hand trembling slightly. It was no longer the cold, lifeless object it once was, but rather emanated a respectful yet sharp divine thought.
Zeng Yishui, Gu Anchen, and the Fire Dragon reappear.
"Was that... an illusion?" Li Yunjing muttered to himself.
The situation just now was clearly abnormal, which made Li Yunjing suspicious.
"Sect Leader, are you alright?"
At this moment, the Fire Dragon approached, its eyes filled with worry.
He had just realized that something was wrong with Li Yunjing, and stood there stunned.
But the Fire Dragon was completely unaware of how Li Yunjing had gotten into trouble.
Fortunately, Li Yunjing was unharmed and woke up, which relieved Fire Dragon considerably.
"It's alright, I was just pulled into an illusion and encountered the Sword Devil," Li Yunjing said.
"Sword Devil!?"
At this moment, Zeng Yishui shouted loudly.
He hurriedly went to check the condition of the Sword Furnace, and what he saw shocked Zeng Yishui.
"This Sword Furnace is completely useless; it has utterly lost its spirit!" Zeng Yishui shouted.
Li Yunjing and Gu Anchen also went over to check.
The two discovered that, just as Zeng Yishui had said, the Sword Furnace had become useless.
Although the Sword Furnace was previously bound by the formation, it was still evident that the Sword Furnace possessed a high level of spirituality.
But now this Sword Furnace has become an ordinary object, showing no signs of spiritual energy fluctuations.
"I understand now. All the previous Sword Furnace were able to nurture spirit swords because of the existence of the Sword Devil."
The Sword Furnace is merely a vessel; without the Sword Devil, the Sword Furnace becomes completely useless!
Zeng Yishui seemed to realize something and suddenly spoke up to explain.
Li Yunjing nodded slightly, agreeing with Zeng Yishui's speculation.
At this moment, the Nine True Magnetic Light Sword suddenly emitted a tremor, and the Sword Devil, having been cleansed of its resentment, suddenly flew out from the Nine True Magnetic Light Sword.
As soon as the black sword spirit appeared, the surrounding space was instantly filled with sword energy, making it feel suffocating.
Zeng Yishui stared at the sword spirit, his eyes wide.
"It actually washed away its resentment and became a sword spirit; that's quite rare," Zeng Yishui.
"Sect Leader Li, your Nine True Magnetic Light Sword has a bright future ahead of it!"
Gu Anchen chimed in, "That's right, that's right, this is a rare sword spirit. It can make any sword into an unparalleled divine sword!"
I can't even imagine how excited a sword cultivator would be if they obtained this sword spirit!
Both of them were incredibly amazed, because sword spirits were extremely rare.
This is a treasure that any sword cultivator would desperately desire.
As long as you obtain a sword spirit, even a sword-wielding failure can become a sword-wielding genius.
"Master, a Higher Vehicle Swordsmanship is hidden within that Sword Furnace. We can obtain it by destroying the Sword Furnace."
As soon as the sword spirit appeared, it pointed at the Sword Furnace and spoke to Li Yunjing.
"Oh? Higher Vehicle Swordsmanship?" Li Yunjing exclaimed in surprise.
Then, with a casual wave of his hand, a powerful spiritual force flew out and struck the Sword Furnace with a bang.
The Sword Furnace was shattered by spiritual power in an instant, breaking into pieces.
Li Yunjing released his Divine Sense and, among the many fragments, he discovered a Jade Slip.
He manipulated the Jade Slip with his Divine Sense, causing Jade Slip to fly into his hand.
Then Li Yunjing used his Divine Sense to examine the contents of the Jade Slip slip.
[Purple Thunder Divine Firmament Sword Instruction].
This is the name of this sword Swordsmanship.
Li Yunjing quickly read through the entire text and gained a general understanding of the sword Swordsmanship.
The Purple Thunder Divine Firmament Sword Instruction is not a simple Swordsmanship Swordsmanship; it is closely related to thunder.
To master this sword Swordsmanship, one must actively draw upon lightning to strike oneself and then absorb and refine that lightning into one's Dantian.
This alone is enough to illustrate the danger of this Swordsmanship.
It should be known that thunder is the most yang and powerful substance in the world, possessing astonishing destructive power.
Leaving aside whether a cultivator's physical body can withstand lightning, even if it can, it is extremely dangerous to refine the lightning into one's Dantian.
If one is not careful, the lightning can damage a cultivator's Dantian, rendering the cultivator useless.
This sword Swordsmanship requires more than just the initial step of drawing lightning into the Dantian.
Each subsequent advancement requires the same method, and it must be not ordinary lightning, but the rare spiritual lightning.
Ordinary lightning strikes are already too much for a cultivator's physical body to withstand.
Needless to say, spiritual lightning is something that cultivators simply cannot withstand without the aid of external objects.
Although practicing this Cultivation Method is dangerous, the benefits are also great.
Once this Swordsmanship is mastered, it can greatly enhance a cultivator's combat power.
Thunder cultivators and sword cultivators are the mainstays of combat power among cultivators.
The combined combat power of the two is unimaginable.
However, Li Yunjing was not interested in this Swordsmanship.
He is currently practicing the [Seven Slaughters Heaven-Slaying Dao Sword Book], which is a good sword Swordsmanship, no worse than the [Purple Thunder Divine Firmament Sword Instruction].
Moreover, practicing even one Swordsmanship already drained Li Yunjing's energy; practicing two Swordsmanship was simply beyond Li Yunjing capabilities.
He tossed the Jade Slip slip to Gu Anchen and then said, "Take this Swordsmanship back and make a copy, then leave it at the Heavenly Artifact Pavilion."
"See if anyone in your Heavenly Artifact Pavilion has an affinity for the Way of the Sword."
Gu Anchen immediately bowed and said, "Thank you, Sect Leader."
Li Yunjing nodded slightly and was about to leave when the sword spirit said, "Master, there's one more treasure you haven't taken!"
Li Yunjing stopped and looked at the sword spirit in confusion.
"There's more treasure?"
The sword spirit nodded, then reached out and beckoned towards the original location of the Sword Furnace.
Suddenly, a dazzling light erupted from that spot.
The next moment, all the light faded away.
Li Yunjing looked closely and saw something the size of a pigeon egg floating in that spot.
Its entire body is pure white like solidified fat, containing a chaotic galaxy flowing within. At its core, a miniature sword shadow floats and sinks, and nine invisible Taichu sword energies swirl around it. Without any prompting, a clear and melodious sword cry spontaneously emanates from it.
"This is..." Li Yunjing's eyes showed surprise; this thing looked unusual.
The Nine True Magnetic Light Sword, which was hovering beside Li Yunjing, vibrated slightly at this moment, actually conveying a message to Li Yunjing.
The Nine True Magnetic Light Sword desperately craved that thing.
"This is actually a Sword Mother Crystal Embryo!" Zeng Yishui shouted immediately upon seeing it.
Li Yunjing looked at Zeng Yishui curiously. "Do you know the origin of this thing?"
"I know." Zeng Yishui nodded seriously, "This thing is the most precious treasure of the sword path, it can even be said to be the number one treasure, without exception!"
This item can truly transform swords and sword cultivators, even allowing them to advance indefinitely!
