Chapter 157

A sword spirit carrying ten pounds...

Ten thousand sword spirits equal one hundred thousand jin...

Cough, Li Yang didn't mean to bully the sword spirits, but rather to introduce them to a fun and interesting job that could also earn them a living.

Chapter 157

When Chaochao helped transform the Masterless Sword into Growth-Type Divine Weapon, Li Yang had also inquired about the Sword Spirit Clan.

Chaochao didn't elaborate at the time, only saying that there were hardly any people left in the Sword Spirit Boundary Domain, and that he didn't want to go back.

Anyway, he was used to being in the Noisy Pot, and now that Li Yang wasn't keeping him confined, he could come and go freely, so he didn't want to leave.

Li Yang's sudden question made him awkward again, "Very good, extremely good, so good that only one Realm Domain remains!"

Li Yang: "..."

She also used Li Yaowan's access privileges to check the situation in the Sword Spirit Boundary Domain.

However, the information found was very limited, less than what she herself knew.

The Star Nexus Pavilion might know more, but Li Yang didn't want to alarm Marquis of Wind Pavilion, so she didn't ask.

Li Yang didn't waste any more time Chaochao and immediately unleashed her trump card.

Right now, Lianxin is playing on the Shattered Fruit Sea. As long as she holds the little doll in her arms, Chaochao will start answering every question.

Any arrogance or awkwardness will transform into obedience and honesty.

Li Yang couldn't help but wonder, was Lianlian really that scary?

It's probably a case of one thing subduing another. Luckily, Lianxin was able to keep the Chaochao quiet, otherwise, talking to this sword spirit prophet would have been too much of a hassle!

Lianxin was having a great time playing.

He truly lives up to his name, Star Plant, having a natural affinity for water.

Especially since there is a large amount of Deep Star Water beneath this Shattered Fruit Sea, which Lianxin can sense from a great distance, she enjoys playing in this sea even more.

But as soon as Li Yang called him softly, Lianxin would immediately return to her side and gently land on her shoulder.

"Fellow Daoist, is there anything I can help you with?"

Li Yang held the small doll in her arms and said, "Stay with me and chat with Chaochao for a while."

Lianxin: "!"

[Lifespan increased by 700 years.]

[Lifespan increased by 700 years.]

Li Yang didn't know why Lianlian was happy. Did he actually enjoy chatting with Chaochao?

As soon as Chaochao saw Lianxin coming over, he immediately wilted.

Li Yang asked him again, "What is the current situation of the Sword Spirit Clan?"

Chaochao: "..."

Lianxin looked at him and said, "Answer the question."

It was a cute, doll-like voice, which made Li Yang's ears tremble involuntarily.

Lianlian is so cute!

She held Lianxin's hand tightly, unable to resist tightening it again.

[Lifespan increased by 700 years.]

[Lifespan increased by 700 years.]

However, Chaochao looked terrified, his whole soul trembling. His voice became much more humble as he honestly confessed, "Only the Lost-Knowledge Sword Spirit remains in the Sword Spirit Boundary Domain; the rest have been captured."

Chaochao quieted down and earnestly explained the situation of the Sword Spirit Boundary Domain to Li Yang.

The fate of the Sword Spirit Boundary Domain is a classic example of "the innocent man is guilty of possessing a treasure, but the guilty man is guilty of a crime."

Just as the Sand Fruit Realm Domain has its own racial talent, the Sword Spirit Clan's racial talent is a natural affinity for Star Weapon, which in turn gives rise to different effects.

Chaochao had introduced Blade & Soul to Li Yang before, but she only talked about the Prophet class.

In fact, there are also differences within the Sword Spirit Clan.

Sorted from least to most numerous, they are: prophet, Aware, unaware, and deluded.

The Prophet is the most talented member of the Sword Spirit Clan.

Due to its unique nature, the path of cultivation for Blade Spirits differs from that of most Star Wielders in the Astral Realm.

They don't cultivate Physique Points or Spirit Points; instead, they directly cultivate soul power.

This soul power is not unfamiliar to the Star Wielders.

For example, Li Yang was able to sense the presence of soul power after she condensed her Star Soul.

She is currently cultivating her soul power.

However, most Astral Realm beings begin their cultivation with Physique Points and Spirit Points, gradually progressing to cultivating soul power.

The Sword Spirit Clan, on the other hand, focuses on cultivating soul power from the outset, which makes their cultivation progress both difficult and slow.

Although Chaochao is a prophet of the Sword Spirit Clan, he has no combat ability to date.

His cultivated soul power was already far superior to Li Yang's, but because he couldn't condense Star Soul or Origin Soul, he couldn't defeat anyone.

Of course, Li Yang couldn't hurt him either.

Blade spirits are like beings living between life and death; they cannot harm others, and others cannot kill them.

If they didn't have that special talent, they probably wouldn't be living such a miserable life.

I don't know how long ago that was.

A Supreme of the Weapon Forging Department discovered the unique characteristics of different sword spirits.

Sword spirit prophets like Chaochao can guide intelligent Star Weapon and Star Wielders to form growth contracts and evolve into Growth-Type Divine Weapon.

The next Aware down from the Chaochao sword spirit is the ability to gradually awaken the intelligence of Star Weapon who previously lacked it, transforming them into even more valuable Star Weapon.

The next level down, the sword spirit, has a different effect: it can calm down a frenzied Star Weapon, causing it to lose its intelligence again and return to being a valuable material for weapon forging.

The lowest-ranking sword spirit is the one that weaponsmiths avoid like the plague.

The Blade & Soul's knowledge also affects Star Weapon, but not for a good reason. Rather, it acts like a source of pollution, causing Star Weapon to have a tendency to self-destruct.

Therefore, in the current Sword Spirit Boundary Domain, the Prophet, the Aware, and the Unaware have all been abducted, leaving behind only countless Lost-Knowledge Sword Spirit.

At this point, Chaochao's voice trailed off, revealing an undeniable sense of desolation.

He said, "The largest weapon-forging group in the Astral Realm is in the Upper Three Realms... and many of my friends are trapped there."

Due to its form, the Blade Spirit can be considered an immortal being.

Time doesn't mean much to them.

But the premise is that they are free.

Once freedom is lost, this endless time becomes endless suffering.

The predicament of the Sword Spirit Boundary Domain is far too heavy.

Let alone Li Yang right now, even if the Huaxia Heavenly Palace were to exert all its strength, it would be difficult to defeat the weapon-forging group of the Upper Three Realms.

Even if we win...

Li Yang was also not optimistic about the situation in the Sword Spirit Boundary Domain.

Star Weapon are extremely important to Star Wielders, and since Sword Spirits possess such racial talents, they are easily sought after and controlled.

Li Yang can promise Chaochao that he will not restrict his freedom.

But Li Yang doesn't represent everyone else.

Perhaps only under the law can the Sword Spirit Clan be barely guaranteed a certain degree of freedom...

But all of these are too far away.

Li Yang couldn't worry about that right now.

Li Yang asked, "How is the Lost-Knowledge Sword Spirit of the Sword Spirit Boundary Domain doing these days?"

Chaochao sighed softly, "Terrible, so terrible."

Li Yang was taken aback, and continued to ask, "Why? They weren't captured; they should be in the Sword Spirit Boundary Domain..."

"You don't understand the Sword Spirit Boundary Domain. The reason we have this racial talent is to adapt to the environment of the Sword Spirit Boundary Domain."

Chaochao then gave Li Yang a brief introduction to the ecological environment of the Sword Spirit Boundary Domain.

This further broadened Li Yang's worldview.

The environment of the Sword Spirit Boundary Domain is extremely harsh compared to that of the Huaxia, making it unsuitable for survival.

But in this Realm Domain, after countless years, a spirit like the Sword Spirit awakened its intelligence and became the ruler of the Sword Spirit Boundary Domain.

In order to survive, they gradually evolved a unique survival system of their own.

First, there are the prophets. They can sense the matter in the Sword Spirit Boundary Domain and promote its growth—which is why they can transform Star Weapon into Growth-Type Divine Weapon.

Secondly, there is Aware; they will endow these growing substances with intelligence, gradually forming sword spirits.

Then, it is unknown whether they will calm the newly born sword spirit down, so that it will not fall into chaos and madness due to its lack of physical form.

As for the Mysterious Knowledge, it is the constant stirring of the inanimate objects in the Sword Spirit Boundary Domain, causing them to evolve into substances with growth potential.

This is a complete loop.

Although it completely overturned Li Yang's understanding, this is undoubtedly an ecosystem suitable for the Sword Spirit Boundary Domain.

But with the abduction of the Prophet, Aware, and Unawareness, only the Enigmatic One remains in the Sword Spirit Boundary Domain.

Mizhi continues to diligently disturb the Sword Spirit Boundary Domain, stimulating the growth of many substances.

However, without a series of guidance from prophets, Aware, and ignorance, these substances are unlikely to become sword spirits.

Ultimately, the accumulation of a large amount of material capable of growth plunged the entire Sword Spirit Boundary Domain into chaos and turmoil.

The Lost-Knowledge Sword Spirit suppressed its instincts as much as possible, no longer disturbing the Sword Spirit Boundary Domain.

But for them, it was as painful and unbearable as not being able to breathe.

Even with such efforts to suppress their instincts, the Sword Spirit Boundary Domain was already in chaos.

The Lost-Knowledge Sword Spirit could only hide in the last safe zone of the Sword Spirit Boundary Domain, barely clinging to life.

The Mecha Doll standing nearby, feeling frustrated, couldn't help but ask, "Didn't they ever think about leaving the Sword Spirit Boundary Domain?"

Chaochao said indignantly, "They are the Lost-Knowledge Sword Spirit that everyone hates! So what if they leave the Sword Spirit Boundary Domain? Every Star Wielders has Star Weapon. As long as they sense them, they will definitely drive them away, or even lock them in a black box that will never see the light of day again."

This is more terrifying than death.

For the immortal Sword Spirit Clan, the perpetual darkness is an extremely terrifying form of torture.

Chen Ri was speechless.

Li Yang had already considered these things. What she was concerned about was. "How wide and deep is the influence of the Lost-Knowledge Sword Spirit on the Star Weapon?"

After thinking for a moment, Chaochao said, "If a Lost-Knowledge Sword Spirit enters the Blue Crystal Realm Domain, then... the more than 27,000 Masterless Sword in the plantation will slowly develop self-destructive tendencies. At most, within a hundred years, they will all self-destruct and die."

Li Yang: "..."

That's truly terrifying, and this is just a Lost-Knowledge Sword Spirit.
