Chapter 128 Natal Magic Treasure! 72 Flying Swords!
In the quiet room, Lin Chuan stood up and clenched his fist slightly.
Then, he took out a magic weapon longsword, used his mid-Foundation Establishment stage magic power, and stabbed it straight into his own arm!
"Bang!"
Sparks appeared when the magical artifacts collided.
The sound was like metal clashing!
But his skin was completely unharmed!
Even without using his magic to activate his golden body defense, his physical strength alone is comparable to that of a level four demon beast, making it easy for him to withstand attacks from late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators!
The body-refining exercises have come to a temporary end.
Next, I will attempt to break through to the late stage of Core Formation.
Lin Chuan took out the mana-enhancing pills made from seventh-level demon cores and began his seclusion.
Day after day, month after month.
Two years later.
On this day, the spiritual energy in the cave suddenly surged!
Lin Chuan's aura surged like a tide, breaking through the bottleneck that had troubled him for so long.
The Azure Origin Sword Technique has broken through to the ninth level.
His cultivation progressed naturally to the late stage of Core Formation.
Lin Chuan focused his inner vision on his dantian, feeling the immense magical power within.
Because he underwent three rounds of cultivation before forming the Core Formation, although he is only in the late stage of Core Formation at this moment, the total amount of mana in his body has already exceeded that of an ordinary peak Core Formation cultivator!
"Nascent Soul Formation..."
He muttered to himself.
Forming the Nascent Soul is the most important thing.
With his dual spiritual roots, coupled with the fact that he had consumed the remnants of the Heaven-Mending Pill to refine his spiritual roots and then underwent a third transformation to lay a solid foundation, he was able to achieve this.
The difficulty of forming a Nascent Soul is not very high.
Even some cultivators with Heavenly Spiritual Roots don't have as high a chance of forming their Nascent Soul as he does!
The key is whether I can break through to the Nascent Soul stage before the next opening of the Void Heaven Palace.
"Continue your seclusion and cultivate until you reach the peak of the Core Formation stage."
……
Fourteen years have passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, Lin Chuan opened his eyes in the quiet room.
His aura was as steady as a mountain, and his magical power was abundant and perfect—the peak of the late stage of Core Formation, which is what the cultivation world often calls a pseudo-infant cultivator!
At the same time, he also cultivated the Great Evolution Technique to the fourth level of perfection.
With the help of the "Awakening of Insects Divine Sword" divine sense technique, he broke through to the seventh level.
His divine sense covered an astonishing 160 miles!
One hundred and sixty li!
What does this mean?
The range of a Nascent Soul cultivator's divine sense is only ninety to one hundred and ten miles.
Even a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator's divine sense can only accurately cover 170 to 200 miles.
In other words, Lin Chuan's spiritual sense has now surpassed the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm and is comparable to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm!
Furthermore, the total amount of magical power within him far exceeds that of ordinary nascent infant cultivators.
In terms of combat strength, he might not be without the ability to fight against some weaker early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.
After all, the secret technique of the Awakening Insect Divine Sword has enabled Lin Chuan to kill people of higher levels on multiple occasions!
"Now that I've reached the peak of Core Formation, it's time to go out and seek opportunities to form Nascent Soul."
Lin Chuan had a plan in mind.
Because the Void Heaven Palace is about to open, this ancient ruin will randomly appear in a certain part of the sky in the Inner Star Sea each time it appears.
He doesn't plan to go to the outer sea this time; instead, he intends to seek opportunities in the inner sea, so that he won't be too late to return if the Void Heaven Palace appears.
Just as he was about to get up and go out—
Suddenly, a fluctuation came from the restrictions outside the cave.
Someone has come to visit.
Lin Chuan scanned the area with his divine sense, a smile appearing on his lips.
It's Han Li.
……
Lin Chuan opened the barrier and welcomed Han Li into the cave.
"Junior Brother Han, it's been a long time!" Lin Chuan said with a smile.
"Senior Brother Lin."
Han Li bowed respectfully, his expression solemn. He took out a storage bag from his robes and handed it to Lin Chuan with both hands.
"Senior Brother Lin, I've come to deliver spirit bamboo to you."
Lin Chuan took the storage bag and probed it with his divine sense.
Inside the storage bag lay six pale golden bamboo stalks.
Each bamboo stalk is about three feet long, with a golden sheen flowing throughout, and subtle lightning patterns running across its surface, exuding a chilling aura.
Golden Thunder Bamboo (Eternal Life)!
"Junior Brother Han, this..." Lin Chuan looked up at Han Li, his eyes filled with inquiry.
Han Li remained calm and said indifferently, "I was lucky enough to find it in an ancient cultivator's cave. This bamboo is extremely precious, so please use it discreetly, Senior Brother Lin, and do not make a fuss about it."
Lin Chuan chuckled inwardly.
Ancient cultivator's cave dwelling?
Han Li, you were clearly induced and nurtured using that little green bottle, yet you're using this excuse to fob me off.
However, he put on a solemn expression and nodded, saying, "Junior Brother Han, rest assured, I understand the importance of this matter. I will not divulge a single word about this spirit bamboo."
Han Li nodded upon hearing this, exchanged a few more pleasantries, and then took his leave.
……
After seeing Han Li off, Lin Chuan returned to his cave dwelling and sat in his quiet room, looking at the six ancient golden thunder bamboos in his hand, his mind filled with countless thoughts.
He had originally planned to go out and seek an opportunity to form a Nascent Soul.
But now that we have the Golden Thunder Bamboo, the most important thing is to refine our natal magic weapon.
After all, having a suitable natal magic weapon makes one more confident in seeking opportunities or venturing into the Void Heaven Palace in the future.
"Forget it, it seems we'll have to postpone the Nascent Soul formation for now."
He calmed his mind and began preparing to refine his natal magic weapon.
……
Refining a natal magic weapon is by no means an easy task.
Especially the "Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword" set of magical treasures, which consists of seventy-two flying swords, is far more difficult to forge than ordinary magical treasures.
Fortunately, Lin Chuan had made preparations over the years, including various auxiliary materials.
Fortunately, Lin Chuan had made preparations over the years, including various auxiliary materials.
He had already prepared the ancient black iron, the cold copper of the deep sea, the refined gold of the Earth Mother, and the meteorite iron from outer space.
He was also thoroughly familiar with the refining methods.
He began smelting golden bamboo.
Clusters of cinnabar fire surged from his palm, enveloping a Golden Thunder Bamboo.
The bamboo appeared withered and yellow, but under the scorching heat of the alchemical fire, it slowly softened and deformed, eventually turning into a ball of pale golden liquid spirit fluid, which floated in the air.
One plant, two plants, three plants...
For two whole months, Lin Chuan worked tirelessly without sleep, and finally melted all six ancient Golden Thunder Bamboo plants into spiritual liquid.
Next comes the most crucial step – refining the sword embryo.
He strictly followed the forging sequence of the "Azure Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword," fusing, shaping, engraving, and infusing the Golden Thunder Bamboo Spirit Liquid with various auxiliary materials...
One, two, three...
Two more months have passed.
When the last flying sword's embryo took shape in his hand, Lin Chuan breathed a long sigh of relief.
Seventy-two flying swords hovered neatly in front of him.
Each sword is about three feet long, with a pale gold body and lightning patterns flowing across its blade, faintly exuding a sharp sword intent.
He opened his mouth and inhaled, and the seventy-two flying swords transformed into seventy-two golden rays, which filed in and entered his dantian, where they began to be nourished by the dantian fire.
"Finally, I've successfully forged my natal magic weapon..."
Lin Chuan closed his eyes and looked inward, feeling the familiar sensation emanating from the seventy-two flying swords in his dantian, a smile appearing on his lips.
"Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword" is complete.
Next came the daily nurturing and refining, allowing these flying swords to truly become a part of his body, as easy to use as his own limbs, and in perfect harmony with his mind.
The opening day of the Void Heaven Palace is drawing ever closer.
