Two years later.
The Taiqing Flying Sword slashed out, following the movement of the magma as it adhered to the flow of Mana in the "All-transforming Magnetic Origin Sutra," tracing a beautiful arc to strike at the Sun Flame Crystal.
There was a crackling sound as the magma crust shattered.
A fiery red crystal emerged, swept up into the sky, and fell into the hands of a young man in green by the shore.
"Swordsman, you've been led astray by the Eastern Devil School."
"Now you've barely reached the swordsmanship level of core disciples at the Foundation Establishment stage in the Sword Pavilion, still far from being qualified..."
The voice of Yue appeared, seemingly chiding.
"Thank you!"
Jiang Ding seemed very excited.
Whoosh!
The Taiqing Flying Sword rose spiritedly into the sky, and the Blue-Gold Sword Light unfolded. A sword embodiment exactly the same as the Blue-Gold Sword diversified out of it, quickly multiplying—second, third—in the blink of an eye there were nine Flying Swords.
Their aura was identical, each carrying the power of Law-Breaking and destruction.
The first realm of swordsmanship,
Sword-light Diversification!
And he had already reached the peak of the first realm of swordsmanship, just one step away from achieving the second realm, Sword Qi Thunder Sound.
If a Sword Cultivator grasped such sword techniques, their strength could potentially increase several fold overnight.
"My strength, however, isn't that high."
Jiang Ding calculated in his mind for a moment: "My overall strength relies more on the boost from the Air-Space Warplane's Electromagnetic Main Gun, the ultimate in speed and power. Sword techniques don't have such a big impact on bombs..."
"But my strength has increased by at least thirty percent!"
Whoosh!
The nine Taiqing Flying Swords once again entered the magma river, alternating their slashes, enduring the burning of the surrounding magma sword fire. In no time, they delved near the Sun Flame Crystals, and the nine Blue-Gold Flying Swords struck in unison.
A crisp sound rang out.
The tough outer crust of magma around the Sun Flame Crystal shattered, revealing the translucent fiery red crystal which was retrieved and flew into the sky, then fell once more.
One by one, Sun Flame Crystals that would drive Sword Cultivators crazy kept falling into the pocket.
"One Sun Flame Crystal can be used for ten years, thirty crystals should suffice."
"Mining too much will affect the operation of the River of Sun Flame, which is my future cultivation site. Depleting the resources completely is out of the question."
"Right, Yue."
Jiang Ding suddenly remembered something and asked with anticipation, "The legacy of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion, the complete 'Great Sun Sword Scripture,' do you have it here?"
In these two years, the two of them had become quite familiar with each other.
The biggest obstacle in his path now was undoubtedly the lack of legacy!
If he could obtain the legacy of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion, many obstacles that seemed insurmountable would instantly become an open road. Even if some difficulties remained, they would undoubtedly be much less.
"Swordsman, I do not."
The voice of Yue came through.
"The Great Sun Heavenly Pond Array only operates according to the sword laws. All legacies are in the hands of the Great Sun Sword Masters and Swordsmen. Great Sun Sword Cultivation does not allow any other person or thing to control its lifeblood."
"Great Sun Sword Cultivation, only I, myself, without reliance on any external object."
"Swordsman, you should also strive in this direction."
"Maybe I will."
Jiang Ding shook his head but said nothing.
Days later, the last Sun Flame Crystal fell into the Storage Jade Pendant. Jiang Ding looked affectionately at the nearly red-hot Taiqing Flying Sword and transformed into an invisible sword light and flew out.
"The River of Sun Flame is for refining."
"The Moon Creek River is for tempering." seaʀᴄh thё NovelZone.fun website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
"Only the combination of both embodies the entire process of a Great Sun Swordsman's sword cultivation."
Jiang Ding looked in the direction of Moon Creek River: "The Taiyin Sword Sect, after the downfall of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion, the Eight Great Immortal Sects have been fronting, standing at the forefront to check the Demon Schools of the Immortal Sects, and in the midst of the Immortal Sect foundations being strained by the Xuanwu Heavenly Palace, over thousands of years, they have caused numerous deaths and injuries to the Immortal Sect Army."
"The Air-Space class teacher, Immortal Luling, was severely wounded by Immortal Yinwu of the Taiyin Sword Sect. An eyeball shattered, forcing him to retreat from the battlefield to recuperate and teach."
...
Moon Creek River.
Compared to the domineering, destructive, and dazzling River of Sun Flame, this place was more subdued. Even the riverside was surrounded by the chirping of birds, fragrant flowers, green plants, and butterflies, all shrouded in a misty haze.
It resembled a paradisiacal abode of immortals, a secluded paradise.
And not the cruel, bloody, and insane location known for the cultivation of sword cultivators.
"Moon."
At the source of the stream, within the faint mist.
A stunning girl with an icy demeanor, dressed in a moon-white fairy skirt, patted the white bear toy in her arms and once again connected with the core of the Great Sun Heavenly Pond's formation method.
There was no response.
"Moon."
"You were named after my Moon Vein, and the Sword Master of the Moon Vein took part in your construction," the girl said anxiously and unwillingly, "Why refuse to transfer the authority of the Great Sun Heavenly Pond?"
"Because..."
Around her, a cheerful female voice could be heard.
"You don't have the Great Sun Flying Sword, nor the Taiyin Flying Sword, you're neither a Dari Swordsman nor a Taiyin Swordsman."
"It is true, but..."
"Times have changed!"
The girl looked frustrated as she argued, "The Taiqing Spirit Iron has long been destroyed in the hands of the Eastern Devil School, the last bit of it has already been taken by them, it's utterly impossible to forge another Taiyin Flying Sword now!"
There was no further response.
The place became silent.
"The Daymoon Sword Pavilion has already perished, you need to adapt," Yu Qianzi tried to persuade, "The Dari lineage is tyrannical and extreme to an excessive extent, leading to their annihilation. Only the Moon Vein can revive the Daymoon Sword Pavilion..."
Her words were interrupted.
Whoosh!
A moon-white flying sword shot out from the moon mark on her forehead, along with sword intent that could freeze everything and halt the living, slashing near her crystalline ear.
Clink!
Sparks flew, and a piercing soundwave spread in all directions, breaking trees as thick as several people's embrace, shattering rocks, and dispersing the layers of fog to clear the sky.
A red-gold blue-gold flying sword appeared.
Its hot, sharp, and law-breaking aura spread out, like the sun's brilliant glow spanning the heavens and earth, dispelling the chill that had accumulated over countless years at the Moon Creek River.
The freezing Taiyin Sword Intent was compressed layer by layer, driven back, and confined to half of the sky.
"Taiyin Swordsman."
"Your sword isn't forged from the Divine Wood Heaven Seed, the inherited treasure of the Green Wood Immortal Sect."
Not far away, a young man clothed in green manifested himself, his face showing no shame from the failed sneak attack, his Divine Sense and Sword Intent scanning constantly, finally confirming.
"Therefore, you are not one of the Taoist disciples of the Green Wood Immortal Sect."
Jiang Ding felt somewhat disappointed and sighed, "Even though tens of thousands of years have passed, and disciples and elders have changed countless times, the Moon Vein is still the Moon Vein, and it's not regarded as an official Inheritance Disciple by the Green Wood Immortal Sect."
"Your value has suddenly diminished greatly."
Immortal Gold of the Xianmen Sect, Taiqing Spirit Iron of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion, Five Elements Void Copper of the Five Elements Heavenly Sect.
Yet for the Green Wood Immortal Sect, it's the Divine Wood Heaven Seed!
Not metal, but a seed, somewhat resembling a plant as well as a treasure, if it were used as one's Life Treasure, it could directly increase the chances of Refining Nothingness by ten or twenty percent.
That said, it's not as if the Taiyin Swordsman's treatment was poor.
Her flying sword, as well, was forged from a sixth-order Refinement Void Level material, exceptionally sharp, highly compatible with moonlight, starlight, coldness, and the like.
But compared to divine substances like Taiqing Spirit Iron and Five Elements Void Copper, it fell short by quite a lot.
