Chapter 200
The Divine Crown
Sou!
The Thousand Deep Sword danced quickly in the air, and another
slender
green sword danced along with it, quickly tearing through the dark skies.
Engraved Dragon Blade!
After experiencing the damage the last time, it had finally awakened.
Su Yun stood at the side of the Evil Spring, quickly urging the Profound
Spirit
Qi in his body, the seven types of Profound Spirit Qi which was like a ray
of
rainbow, following along the sword body, he recklessly swept around.
The
Thousand Deep Sword and Engraved Dragon Blade were originally not
strong,
but with the power of the special Profound Spirit Qi, they became
different, with
their might increasing.
For the next few days, he would either be training or be in the spring. All
the
food and necessities needed to supplement the training were provided
by Cheng
Xie. Although the meat related food he would find would either be rotten
or
minced, but it still tasted normal.
A month of time passed quickly, with the help of the Evil Spring and
Monarch
Occult Force, Su Yun’s body already produced 400 Evil Spirit Essences,
and 100
of them were already fully formed, and began to produce Evil Profound
Spirit
Qi. his Qi channels also became larger, his strength increased by bursts,
and he
had instantly stepped into the Spirit Core Disciple realm.
Although Su Yun could have quickly trained and stepped into the Spirit
Soul
Disciple realm with the help of the everlasting stone that gave a huge
boost at
the initial stages, but for Qing Er, he did not have time for himself, and
thus
spent very little time on training. But now, he could peacefully train.
Upon entering the first stage of the Spirit Core realm, the Evil Qi around
Su
Yun’s entire body became increasingly stronger, feeling that the bloating
feeling
was close to its maximum, in a while it disappeared, and he had
advanced to the
second stage.
Even for ordinary people with good talent, to rise from the first to second
stage of the Spirit Core Realm, would require at least a year. But for Su
Yun
with such godly treasures and techniques supporting him, how could his
cultivation not jump by leaps and bounds?
Cheng Xie could only nod his head, he was extremely fussy when it
comes to
Su Yun, but seeing the two flying swords in the air, his pitch black face
exposed
surprise.
“What technique is that?”
“Imperial Sword Technique.”
Su Yun replied.
“I have seen Imperial Sword users before, but they can only use one
sword,
but you are able to so easily wield two flying swords, seems like it’s not
as
simple as that.”
Su Yun did not say anything.
Cheng Xie laughed, and when his gaze landed on the black sword that
was
stabbed into the ground in front of Su Yun, a confused look appeared in
his eyes.
“This sword that is in its sheathe is giving me an intimate feeling, why
are you
not using it?”
“Once it comes out, it needs to kill someone, if not it will not rest. So I do
not
use it to practise. Even if I have to practise with it, I do not unsheathe it.”
“A good demonic sword.” Cheng Xie looked at the Death Sword. He
extended
his hand out wishing to touch it, but when his fingers grazed it, he
instantly
retracted it back, and asked: “Where did you obtain this sword?”
“I picked it up.” Su Yun lied.
Cheng Xie was startled, but did not ask anymore.
Time slowly crawled past. Su Yun had more and more Evil Spirit
Essences in
his body, his Evil Profound Spirit Qi becoming stronger and stronger. He
felt his
body becoming colder, as though his blood had already frozen, and
strange
thoughts of massacres and destructions would always surface in his
mind.
Was this the repercussions of cultivating Evil Profound Spirit Qi?
Su Yun did not feel it, but he was happy while cultivating the entire
period, as
he progressed by leaps and bounds. While the burst growth of Evil Spirit
Essences had caused the Profound Spirit Qi to be full, directly rushing
into the
second stage Spirit Core realm, and progressing steadily to the third
stage.
Such a rate of training, was extremely terrifying.
On one of the day, Su Yun came out of the Evil Spring, and went to his
frequented training area, which was the flat ground near the spring. The
open
space was barren except for dried leaves all around.
He went around searching for many tree branches, threw them on the
ground,
and began attempting controlling the branches.
It was a total of 100 branches. The Profound Spirit Qi in his body spurt
out
threads after threads of Spirit Qi like a spider, which stuck onto the
branches.
Sou sou sou sou
The threads quickly wrapped around the branches that all started to fly
out.
The 100 branches all flew around, quickly revolving around Su Yun’s
body,
forming a gale like momentum, they quickly rushed forth, as though they
were
forming a tornado.
Controlling the branches were extremely effortless, even if he changed
them
to swords, he should be able to control them.
Seeing that he had almost completed training in the first sword of the
Four
Swords Master Stage of the Limitless Sword Art, and could begin
training for
the second sword, and control a thousand swords.
(TN: Hi guys, in chapter 7, Sword Elder explained about the stages. Let
me
reiterate it here for y’all. I have decided to change it to Four Swords
Master
Stage, Twin Swords Saint Stage, and Single Sword God Stage)
“For the four bottom-tiered swords, the person can be rated as a Sword
Master. After training in one sword, it can be used to defend against a
hundreds
enemies. Actually, to defend themselves, the cultivators of this technique
can
make hundreds of blades fly through the air, attacking everything. To
practice
two swords, it can be used to defend against a thousand enemies, for
three
swords, it can be used to defend against ten thousand enemies. For four
swords,
you can use Spirit Sword techniques, thereby doubling your power.”
“To practice the two middle tiered swords, the person can be rated as a
Sword
Saint. After practicing one sword, the person can control ten thousand
swords.
Depending on how much Spirit Qi the person has, he could control
numerous
swords. After mastering two swords, the person can create Sword Stars.
However many stars are in the sky, the person can create the same
number of
Star Swords.”
“For absolute mastery, it requires mastery of the top tiered sword, called
Sword God. Once mastered, the person has endless swords, is able to
kill
anything, and completely dominate the world. If you became a Sword
God, what
will happen to the world? Every creature would submit to you.” Then the
old
man smiled and said: “But nowadays, very few people are able to train to
four
swords, other than my master. The strongest one was only able to train
in the
third sword of the four swords, but could still defend against a thousand
swords.
While mastery of the pair of swords is more than a legend in my
Limitless
Sword Arts.” )
Thousand swords attacking was equivalent to a huge tide of raining
swords,
hiding the skies and covering the earth, preventing enemies from
escaping. Just
by imagining such a vast scene, his mind surged with excitement.
Su Yun went to find more branches, and activated all of the Profound
Spirit
Qi, his base Spirit Essences, Earth Spirit Essences and Evil Spirit
Essences. His
Qi channels frantically worked, as huge amounts of Qi leaked out, and
wrapped
around the branches.
The branches all started to fly, all scattering out, the branches that were
wrapped by Profound Spirit Qi were as sharp as knives, and could easily
cut
down the trees in the surroundings.
“A total of 198. That means my limit is currently a 198 flying swords.”
After a long day, Su Yun could feel his limit. Wielding the Thousand
Deep
Sword, he panted and thought.
Seems like to complete the second sword, I still have a long way to go.
The basic training of Limitless Sword Art, was the playing importance on
the
ability as well as the performance of Profound Spirit Qi. Other than that,
that
would be what the Limitless Sword Art emphasized on ‘The heart and Qi
as one,
the heart and sword as one’. Upon attaining the ‘Heart and Qi as one’,
that
means that the cultivator is able to manipulate the Profound Spirit Qi to
the point
of instantaneous thought, while the heart and sword as one meant that
after
attaining the heart and Qi, the mind and the Qi acts as one, the Qi
controls the
sword, and the mind and sword acts as one. If the heart and sword are
as one to
the point of familiarity, controlling the flying swords would be extremely
smooth
and agile.
And to manipulate a large number of flying swords, he have to first train
his
Sword Qi, attaining the concept of the sword, and that cannot be done in
one
day, but have to go through a long time of practice.
Su Yun found a large amount of Evil Realm wood, and substituted them
for
wooden swords, and controlled them for practise. Everytime he
exhausted
himself, he would immerse himself in the Evil Spring, and moisten his
Evil
Spirit Essences and recover his strength. His strength dramatically
increased day
by day, and he extremely indulged in that feeling.
Sou sou sou sou sou
The use of the seven types of Profound Spirit Qi on the wooden swords
allowed them to fly in the air, forming a big sword screen, occasionally
dispersing in patterns, it was extremely graceful.
The Sword Elder had told him before, that the Limitless Sword Sect’s
secrets
still contained records regarding the Limitless Sword Arrays. Using the
Limitless Sword Arts to activate these strong sword arrays would create
astronomical results. But the Sword Elder had transformed into a sword
rock,
and all the sword arrays would not see the light of days, and was a pity.
“Not good!!”
Just as Su Yun was training in the forest, a loud shrill of Cheng Xie
suddenly
came out, only to see him running frantically towards him.
Su Yun was surprised, he dropped all the flying branches in the air, kept
the
Thousand Deep Sword and Engraved Dragon Blade, looked towards
Cheng Xie
and asked: “What’s happening?”
“Go! Quickly go! That group of people are here again, quickly go!!”
Cheng Xie ran and shouted towards Su Yun at the same time.
“That group of people?”
Su Yun was suspicious, but did not dare hang around, and immediately
followed Cheng Xie deeper into the forest.
Cheng Xie led Su Yun to hide behind a gigantic tree hole deep in the
forest.
The tree hole was jet black, with a large amount of dark Qi. The moment
the
both of them entered, they were enveloped in it.
Su Yun was confused, seeing how Cheng Xie leaning on the tree, his
entire
body shivering and his face displaying a terrified look, like a terrified
rabbit.
“Cheng Xie, what happened? Who is coming?”
Su Yun asked.
“It’s them! It’s them! Master’s enemies, they have once again come to
torture
the loyal guards of the Master!!”
Cheng Xie spoke while shivering.
“Loyal guards? Master?” Su Yun was confused, he did not understand
what
Cheng Xie was saying.
Cheng Xie grabbed his head, and said: “Human, you don’t understand, I
am
actually the Shrine of Evil Spirit’s guard leader, and am helping Master to
guard
the shrine. Master had travelled all around, and have met countless
strong
cultivators, and made them into his own servants, until there was one
day,
Master offended a huge being. Although he was not as strong as Master,
but he
used sneak attacks! When Master was not prepared, he used a huge
locking trap
arts, and lured Master in. He slowly sucked out Master’s spirit and soul,
causing
his cultivation to drop. In the end the huge being tore his body apart, and
all the
shrine guards who wanted revenge for our master, were all chopped up
by the
being. All of their spirits did not die, and after a bloody battle, they relied
on
Master’s instructed magic, and finally injured the huge being. That
angered him,
and he immediately set a curse on the guard’s souls, transforming them
into
fruits. They are hanging on the tree, being blown by the wind and under
the sun,
forever unable to experience rebirth!” Cheng Xie painfully shouted.
Hearing that, Su Yun thought of the human face fruits, and suddenly
realised:
“Those fruits there are the guard’s spirits?”
“That’s right! The fruits are spirit fruits, after consuming them you will
gain
huge increase in cultivation. Because the guards only recognize me,
other than
me, whoever picks them, the guards will choose to kill themselves and
die
forever. They would rather be dead than to let other people eat them,
other than
agreeing to me. Because they trust me, they believe that I can revive
them, and
revive Master. That is why I told you, these fruits, only I can pick them.”
“No wonder when you were plucking spirit fruits, you have to kowtow and
pay respects, so you were thanking them.”
“They all know that me plucking them are for the sake of reviving Master.
So
they are willing to sacrifice themselves. Even when they know that they
will be
eaten, they still do not care.”
Saying on and on, Cheng Xie’s face was filled with sorrow.
All these years, so many guards had sacrificed themselves for nothing.
Su Yun felt himself respecting Cheng Xie and all of the guards. To be
able to
last till now, their Master should feel gratified.
“So, the reason that you want me to go to the Shrine of Evil Spirits, is to
help
you revive your master?”
“Ever since the huge being got injured and left, he had sent people to
come
and destroy the shrine. All the boundaries in the shrine, the arrays, the
Evil Qi
and everything are all in a mess. And because they are all mixed up, it
had
attracted a large number of Evil Beings to come, and many of the Evil
Realm
soldiers who have been exposed to the Qi, will lose their minds, and
become a
walking corpse. For people like me, we cannot enter the shrine, much
less walk
inside. So I need your help, to go inside the shrine and retrieve the
Divine
Crown. Before dying, my master had quietly placed a spirit and soul
inside, and
I can use the divine crown and think of a way to revive my master! And
revive
the loyal guards.”
Cheng Xie wiped the tears, and said painfully: “Now, the huge being’s
people
have come again, they will not pluck the fruits down, but will torture them
endlessly, and cause the fruits to feel pain beyond life!”
“They are truly senseless.” Su Yun said helplessly.
“Wait until they have tortured enough, then they will head to the Shrine
of
Evil Spirits, and find the Master’s Divine Crown.”
“Find your master’s Divine Crown? Why didn’t they do it when they
destroyed the shrine?”
“Because only after the protection Master had sealed for the Divine
Crown
was broken, did the dense Qi leak out, so countless people of the Evil
Realm
have felt it! But up to date, the shrine is extremely terrifying, only the
strong can
enter, and over these few years countless of people have died trying.”
“So it’s like that.”
Su Yun nodded his head.
Just then, Cheng Xie’s terrified voice shouted: “They are here!”
Su Yun was startled, he quietly went to peek outside, to see a group of
Evil
Realm people coming closer.
At that moment, Su Yun’s heart was racing.
Cheng Xie was the master’s person, if he was taken, then that would
basically
meant death. And for him to be with Cheng Xie, it did not bode well for
him
either.
I have to think of a way to escape.
