Free Web NovelChapter 2067: Chapter 2072: First Slay the Divine Mechanist, Then Seize the Ascension Command [Sixth Update]
"So, shouldn’t a sword spirit have a soul?"
Xia Liu found this quite confusing.
Since he had never encountered a sword spirit before.
When he acquired the Flowing Fire Sword in the past,
there was a remnant soul from the Cultivation Epoch inside it.
That shouldn’t be considered a sword spirit.
A true sword spirit enhances the power of a treasure,
adding strength to the cultivator.
Therefore, Xia Liu wasn’t really sure if sword spirits have a soul.
"I’ve lived for over three hundred years and never heard of a sword spirit having a soul."
Qi Mie gave a bitter smile and then continued, "But the Taiqing Sword is a divine blade from tens of thousands of years ago, so there’s a possibility that its sword spirit might have developed its own soul."
"Alright, since the sword spirit hasn’t made any movements after helping me escape, how do I make it recover?"
Not dwelling on whether the sword spirit has a soul,
Xia Liu just wanted to know how Elder Bai absorbed the Eight-Colored Illusionary Spirit.
"That’s very difficult, because the Eight-Colored Illusionary Spirit is corporeal. Unless you can extract its soul and turn it into an ethereal body to enter the Taiqing Sword."
...
Xia Liu was left baffled.
Could it be that the Eight-Colored Illusionary Spirit has a soul?
Soul extraction...
This is too mind-boggling.
"If the sword spirit can sense and absorb the corporeal power, then you can refine the Eight-Colored Illusionary Spirit into a liquid state and immerse the Taiqing Sword in it."
"That’s a good method!"
Xia Liu was immediately enlightened.
But he was also unsure if Elder Bai could sense the Eight-Colored Illusionary Spirit.
As long as it awakens for a moment, it can absorb it.
"I’m not too sure either; everything is recorded in ancient texts."
Qi Mie hurriedly explained.
Just in case it doesn’t work, Xia Liu might blame him.
Offending the heir of Sage Taiqing.
This crime is too serious for him to bear.
"Alright, I understand. I may need to retreat for a few days; I’ll need your assistance then, Senior."
"Young Friend Xia, you’re too kind. Being able to protect you is a blessing from the heavens."
"Hehe..."
Xia Liu gave a bitter smile.
It seems the presence of the Taiqing Sword has completely changed Qi Mie’s attitude towards him.
If all members of the Qi Family were like him,
then Xia Liu might dominate the Myriad Realms in the future.
Clearing away idle thoughts, Xia Liu took out a relatively large magic artifact from his storage ring.
He melted it directly with exotic fire and then crafted a simple sword box.
Then he slowly refined the Eight-Colored Illusionary Spirit with the Heavenly Gang Holy Fire.
Outside the cave,
Qi Mie and Qi Zheng communicated using divine sense.
The topic was about Xia Liu.
"Elder Qimie, do you want to bring Daoist Fellow Xia into the family and have the Patriarch make him a Guest Elder?"
Qi Zheng was also very interested in this.
This way, Xia Liu and the Qi Family would be on truly good terms.
"Yes, his talent is too formidable, and he’s also the heir of Sage Taiqing. Either way, he’s unparalleled in the world."
"By the way, Elder Qimie, how is the understanding of the Taiqing Sword in the Northern Realm now?"
Qi Zheng was more concerned with this point.
If Xia Liu becomes too famous, it might affect his cultivation path.
"The Taiqing Sword rose to fame in ancient times, so probably only a few people understand it. But as long as the major top forces are concerned about the celestial demon holy war of the past, they should all know."
Qi Mie hadn’t noticed this initially either,
because the Taiqing Sword was really too ancient.
"I understand now."
Qi Zheng nodded: "Regarding the Guest Elder, I think we should first send the message back to the Patriarch and have the Patriarch or the Family Head step up."
"The Young Master’s words are very true; Xia Liu’s identity is too special, and we indeed do not have the qualification to propose this."
Qi Mie agreed very much.
Moreover, if they mention it to Xia Liu now,
and changes occur upon returning to the Family Head,
it won’t be as simple as being a Guest Elder then.
There’s a fear that Xia Liu might completely despise the Qi Family.
If so, when Xia Liu grows, the Qi Family, in the Northern Realm and in the Righteous Path, might find themselves in a very awkward situation.
The four of them guarded outside the cave for five days.
Finally, Xia Liu came out.
But he seemed to be a bit displeased.
"Daoist Fellow Xia, how is it? Is the Eight-Colored Illusionary Spirit of no use to the Taiqing Sword?"
"The Eight-Colored Illusionary Spirit, once refined to a liquid state, cannot stay in the air for long; otherwise, it will evaporate."
Xia Liu looked helpless.
Only he knew this suffering. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
"This..."
Qi Zheng and the others were also embarrassed.
The hardly obtained Eight-Colored Illusionary Spirit,
finally evaporated and dissipated into the world.
No one could be happy about this.
They could understand Xia Liu’s distress.
"Forget it. I’ll look for some precious spiritual medicine to restore the sword spirit in the future..."
Actually, the real reason for Xia Liu’s sigh was not the evaporation of the Eight-Colored Illusionary Spirit,
but that Bai Jue had completely absorbed the Eight-Colored Illusionary Spirit,
and still hadn’t awakened.
He recalled the scene at that time.
The Eight-Colored Illusionary Spirit, refined into liquid,
would be greedily devoured by the Taiqing Sword as long as it dripped into the sword box,
finally burst out with a strong suction force.
After absorbing the whole Eight-Colored Illusionary Spirit,
Xia Liu waited for five days.
Moreover, he called out Bai Jue for five days.
The result was completely useless.
With no other way, he could only leave the cave.
Next, he would look for divine artifacts.
From this step, it wasn’t difficult to see what a great price Bai Jue had paid for him.
"Divine artifacts that can restore a sword spirit..."
Everyone fell into deep thought.
Suddenly, Qi Zheng thought of something: "The Immortal Ascension assembly!"
"The Immortal Ascension assembly?"
It wasn’t Xia Liu’s first time hearing this topic.
The Immortal Ascension assembly is mainly held by the Cultivation Alliance.
To attract young talents within the realm,
cultivating them to become high-level members of the Cultivation Alliance, contributing to the Cultivation Realm.
"That’s right! I suddenly remembered, this session of the Immortal Ascension assembly, as long as you obtain the Ascension Command, you can receive three types of rewards."
Qi Zheng suddenly became excited.
"What three kinds of rewards?"
"A low-grade spiritual artifact, a pill that assists in nascent soul formation, and a millennial spirit herb that enhances soul power and helps divine sense breakthrough."
Qi Zheng suddenly found a goal!
He wanted to participate in the Immortal Ascension assembly!
Obtain the Ascension Command and finally give the millennial spirit herb to Xia Liu!
"That’s right! I also remembered, this session of the Immortal Ascension assembly is the last one, and the rewards are very tempting."
Qi Mie nodded affirmatively.
"It seems, I’ll have to join in the excitement then..." freewebnovёl.ƈom
Xia Liu had little interest in the Immortal Ascension assembly.
But now things were completely different.
Obtaining the Ascension Command meant having the opportunity for a millennial spirit herb and a pill, even a low-grade spiritual artifact.
And the precious spiritual herb that can restore soul power and consolidate divine sense.
He couldn’t not go!
Xia Liu suspected that Bai Jue’s soul power consumption was too much.
Even a whole Eight-Colored Illusionary Spirit wasn’t enough to awaken him.
With this millennial spirit herb that restores soul power and consolidates divine sense,
it should be about right!
"Daoist Fellow Xia is also interested in participating?"
"Of course, but before going to the Immortal Ascension assembly, I want to make a trip to Hundred Flowers City to settle the life of the Divine Mechanist!"
Not a day goes by where the Divine Mechanist isn’t killed that Xia Liu’s mind isn’t at peace.
"It doesn’t conflict, there are still six months before the Immortal Ascension assembly begins. If you want to go to Hundred Flowers City, let us go together. Let’s see what extent my third brother Qi Ao has been enchanted to..."
PS: I recommend a super good novel to everyone, "Super Soldier King" written by Chao Tianyi, it’s wonderfully captivating. Make sure to give it a read!
