Forge your destiny into a sword, slash your soul and ascend to immortality

Chapter 215 The System is Formed and the Great War Begins

The Great Thunderclap Sword Pellet flashed like lightning, hiding and dodging within Spirit Sword Mountain like a chick.

Four ferocious beasts, as fierce as wolves and tigers, were locked in a fierce battle above its head.

The spiritual energy that the Great Thunderclap Sword Pellet had just been ignited by the Immortal Remains Jade was frantically warning it that it was in grave danger.

Unfortunately, this secluded and isolated place has long since cut off all paths to survival.

It can scream its lungs out, but no one will listen!

The four swords, [Xumi], [Chunyang], [Yinji], and [Jili], will compete fairly, and the winner can go down to devour the [Daleiyin Sword Pill].

Without a doubt, the gap in rank was insurmountable, and the higher-ranking [Sumeru], with its absolute dominance, forcefully subdued the other three swords.

The next moment, it carried boundless killing intent, like a tiger descending the mountain, and pounced towards the [Great Thunder Sound Sword Pellet].

Just as an eagle pounces on a rabbit, and a hungry tiger pounces on a sheep, the [Sumeru Sword Pellet] was drawn like a dragon, sealing the heavens and earth, cutting off all chances of evasion, and struck the [Great Thunder Sound Sword Pellet] with a single sword strike.

"Om-!"

The newly ignited, thunderous spiritual energy of the Great Thunderclap Sword Pellet instantly froze, as if it had been thrown into solidified amber.

The violent arcs of lightning leaping around it now twisted and exploded in vain like a frightened snake, emitting faint moans, but they could not shake the light of the [Sumeru] sword in the slightest.

The will of [Sumeru] is cold and vast, carrying an unquestionable authority.

It unleashed its own Daoist aura, spreading and enveloping the [Great Thunder Sound Sword Pill] like a living thing, firmly controlling it within its magical cage.

This newly born sword pellet was naturally unwilling to perish.

Its spiritual shriek triggered the primal thunderous energy, causing it to erupt wildly.

In an instant, the blinding lightning expanded violently within the sword light, like a miniature sun exploding inside a sealed crystal ball!
However, this thunderous outburst, powerful enough to shatter mountains and break peaks, appeared so cramped and laughable within the domain of [Sumeru].

The light of the [Sumeru] sword rippled slightly, and the internal spatial dimensions seemed to be infinitely stretched and distorted.

The raging lightning, like a mud ox entering the sea, surged wildly for billions of miles within what seemed like a small space, its power constantly dispersed, diluted, and absorbed by the layers of spatial folds.

In the end, the seemingly devastating explosion only caused a few insignificant ripples on the light screen before completely subsiding.

The devouring of [Sumeru] has begun.

Meanwhile, in the [Void Realm], Jing Qian carefully sensed the changes within [Spirit Sword Mountain], ensuring that everything proceeded as he wished.

When the [Sumeru Sword Pill] began to devour the [Great Thunder Sound Sword Pill], he realized that the true cultivation of the [Xuanyuan Sword Sect] had officially begun.

After that, you can continuously condense new [Sword Pills] and continue feeding them.

The fall of the Great Thunder Sound Sword Pill also allowed Jing Qian to attempt to refine the Sword Formation destiny for the second time.

The cultivation between [Xuanyuan] and [Tongtian] has created a wonderful synergy, which is a great blessing for each of them.

Jing Qian raised his hand and pinched out another [Moon Goddess] bone. He once again used the secret method of the Chaos Sword Scripture to refine a [Minor Chaos Sword Array] destiny.

Immediately afterwards, he used [Sculpting of Wisdom] to shine upon [Minor Chaos Sword Array], pushing it towards the [Heavenly Mandate] rank.

To date, Jing Qian has already mastered two [Heavenly Mandate] sword formations: the [Great Zhou Tian Sumeru Sword Formation] and the [Great Thunder Sound Sword Formation]. He now has a thorough understanding of the sword formation form he truly needs.

Speaking only of these two [Sword Formation] Destinies, although the [Great Zhou Heaven Sumeru Sword Formation] is quite compatible with his [Sumeru] system, it is too complicated, too heavy, and lacks refinement.

To fully unleash the maximum power of this sword formation, it is necessary to craft a set of 365 perfect array swords called "Spiritual Mechanism".

With so many flying swords to forge, resources will be extremely scattered.

Even if Jing Qian had a cheat code, there was absolutely no way he could forge 365 swords comparable to the [Sumeru Sword Pill].

With that kind of energy, they could use the method of the [Xuanyuan Sword Pill] to make these 365 swords devour and melt each other, eventually forging a few ultimate killing swords with a potential much higher than the [Sword Formation].

The weapon that matches the [Great Zhou Heaven Sumeru Sword Formation] is the [Formation Nail], a unique type of sword capable of splitting.

However, for Jing Qian, this system was too useless, not the right path, and not worth wasting his resources on.

The Great Thunder Sound Sword Formation only requires two flying swords to be perfectly set up, making it much easier to set up and allowing the sword-forging process to be more focused, resulting in a better sword.

Unfortunately, the attributes of this [Sword Formation] are too narrow. Although lightning and sound attacks are also powerful offensive systems, they can only be considered as transitional countermeasures at best, and are not worthy of Jing Qian's attention.

Since he has enough opportunities to refine the [Sword Array] destiny, he will definitely draw out a powerful and suitable [Sword Array] before he can start the next stage of cultivating the [Heaven-Reaching] secret technique.

The second [Sword Formation] was quietly born, another powerful [Sword Formation] with unique offensive capabilities, called the [Sea of ​​Calamity Returns to Ruins Sword Formation].

It is a water-based array that combines the attributes of calamity and space, and is mysterious and inexplicable.

However, its attributes were still not a good fit, and for Jing Qian, there was no need to preserve it.

He then used a [Celestial Remains Jade] and combined it with the [Celestial Coffin] to shape it into a [Sword Pill], which he then fed into [Spirit Sword Mountain].

Taking advantage of the window of opportunity while the [Sumeru Sword Pill] was still digesting the [Great Thunder Sound Sword Pill], the [Pure Yang Sword Pill] stood out and was able to suppress and devour the second [Sword Pill].

Jing Qian then initiated the third [Destiny] draw.

He still has three pieces of [Immortal Remains Jade], which, including this time, will allow him to draw four more rounds.

If it still doesn't work after four more attempts, then try a different realm and cut out more [Immortal Remains Jade].

There are still several target areas for the Jingqian Reserve, and the number of areas to be drawn is sufficient.

In terms of the sophistication of his cultivation system, the abundance of his resources, and the clarity of his path forward, few can rival Jing Qian.

If his extravagant behavior were to occur within the main sect of the [Heavenly Sword Formation], it would undoubtedly make countless disciples struggling to condense the destiny of the [Sword Formation] green with envy.

The [Sword Formation] Destiny is extremely rare among the many sword paths [Destiny], and only the most suitable successor can obtain the title of [Son of Heaven].

In comparison, the cultivation tradition of the Pure Yang Heaven has no entry requirements whatsoever; anyone with any destiny can cultivate it.

If you are tough enough to withstand the trials and tribulations and survive to the end, then you will naturally be the most awesome [Chunyangzi].

Therefore, the number of [Tongtianzi] is extremely scarce among these five sword lineages!

However, Jing Qian was so extravagant that he took all the divine mandate of the [Sword Formation] that others could not obtain and used it to forge swords.

It's true what they say, some are dying of drought while others are drowning in floods!
He set the standard for this [Sword Formation] extremely high, and even after the sixth [Sword Formation] destiny was condensed, he was still not satisfied!

None of the six refinements of the [Heavenly Mandate] sword formation surpassed the [Great Zhou Heavenly Sumeru Sword Formation] in power or compatibility.

He refined them all into sword pellets and fed them into Spirit Sword Mountain.

Of the six [Sword Pills] fodder, three are [Sumeru Sword Pills], and the other three [Sword Pills] each occupy one.

After this first wave of absorption and replenishment, his four [Sword Pills] will be significantly strengthened.

And this is just the beginning!
Jing Qian has now fully grasped the power of Xuanyuanzi.

This method of refining the [Sword Pellet] is perfectly suited to the killing habits of sword cultivators!

If he had started accumulating power from the day he entered the Dao, and it had snowballed, then by now, his four [Sword Pills] would have been incredibly powerful.

He possesses the [Sumeru Great Dao Stele], which grants him a significant advantage in enhancing his [Spiritual Energy]. Even so, he may not be able to match the inherited methods of the [Xuanyuan Sword Sect].

He was quite satisfied with the methods of the Xuanyuan Sword Sect!
Meanwhile, Jing Qian also began his cultivation at the [Eternal Life Sword Palace].

This lineage for cultivating the [Sword Body] originates from the extremely powerful [Nine Dragon Cauldron Universe], a powerful inheritance that dominates a universe, possessing the ability to penetrate heaven and earth.

The "Nine Revolutions Spiritual Sword Body Refining Dao Book" passed down by the Longevity Sword Mansion is a method for refining the "spiritual energy" of the sword path and strengthening the bloodline and body.

This method of cultivation, taking a different approach, has its own unique strengths.

A highly condensed and sharp "sword body" greatly enhances physical defense and sword skills, but this is only the most basic supernatural ability.

However, Jing Qian awakened the Pangu bloodline and, based on it, perfectly incorporated the Jambudvipa system, generating the Six Paths of Reincarnation incarnation.

Beyond physical training and cultivation, the path of Pangu actually has a higher ceiling than any other path of body refinement.

In fact, he had no intention of switching to any other bloodline power.

It is important to know that the power of bloodline is most concerned with its source and purity.

His original Pangu bloodline gives him a high enough status and a brighter future.

If one were to casually cultivate some miscellaneous powers to enter one's bloodline, it would be tantamount to self-degradation, causing the bloodline to be downgraded, which is extremely unwise.

However, after Jing Qian carefully studied the "Nine Revolutions Spirit Sword Body Refining Dao Book", he was shocked to discover that...

This method does not alter a cultivator's original bloodline and physical body, nor does it impure the power of the bloodline.

Rather than calling it "Nine Revolutions Spirit Sword Body Refining Dao Book", it would be better to call it "Nine Revolutions Refining Gundam Dao Book" or "Black Star God Throne Mechanic's Experiment Log: High-Power Sword-Type Apostle Mechanic".

This is clearly a unique method that uses the secret techniques of the Longevity Sword Palace to nourish the physical body, utilize the power of the bloodline, and refine the spiritual energy to create a sword-wielding mecha that can be worn on the body, and then use it to protect oneself and kill enemies!

The [Sword Body] does not infringe upon the original bloodline power in the slightest, and it follows the same path as Jing Qian using his own bloodline to refine the Six Paths of Reincarnation Incarnation.

This method is clearly derived from the refining concept of [Dharma Image Armament], only it is more extreme and more powerful!

The [Dharma Armament], which had been in effect for a period of time, was solidified by a secret technique, forming a unique [Sword Body] mecha.

This sounds amazing, incredible, and requires a huge investment! I really want it!
Every man dreams of owning a mecha!
If such a path of "Sword Body" could be accommodated within the original cultivation system, of course no one would refuse it!

Jing Qian is pursuing a path of "cheating" as a sword cultivator, integrating top-tier swordsmanship from multiple lineages, possessing abundant resources, and aiming directly at the pinnacle.

The sword itself possesses extremely strong inclusiveness and adaptability.

Even if they acquire other sword-making traditions in the future, they can more easily integrate their essence into their sword body, enabling the mecha to iterate and evolve.

The "Nine Revolutions Spirit Sword Body Refining Dao Book" requires connecting and fusing nine sword techniques [spiritual mechanisms].

Each successful intake of a turn completes one cycle.

The grade of the [Sword Body] depends not only on the strength of the cultivator's physical body, but also on the grade of the [Spiritual Energy] it has refined.

Only by using an incomparably powerful body as a foundation and forging the peerless [Spiritual Energy] of the first rank can one forge the first rank [First Turn Sword Body]!
To advance to the [Second Transformation] or even higher realms, one must continue to find and refine top-tier [Spiritual Energy] of the same first-grade level in order to propel this "mecha" to a higher level of transformation!

This is a cultivation method that places great emphasis on accumulation, with an infinitely large gap between its upper and lower limits.

The difference between the "First-Rank Nine-Turn Sword Body" and the "Ninth-Rank One-Turn Sword Body" is much greater than the difference between a mass-produced agricultural hand tractor and the Liaoning aircraft carrier!
Jing Qian sat comfortably in the [Formless True Buddha Realm], taking advantage of the time it took for the four [Sword Pills] to digest and enhance him, and began to cultivate his own [Sword Body].

He illuminated his sea of ​​consciousness with the [Sculpting of Wisdom Source], and his spiritual intelligence became a thousand times more active.

The method of the "Nine Revolutions Spirit Sword Body Refining Dao Book" quietly began to operate, and a strange Daoist charm fell upon the [Azure Lotus Sword Box].

Meanwhile, the [Pangu Embryo] destiny began to rapidly devour the [Nine Desolate Immortal Qi] again, evolving into a vigorous bloodline power that gathered in the sea of ​​consciousness.

He is attempting to directly forge a first-grade sword body using the first-grade Qingping Sword Box!
Its powerful bloodline, abundant immortal energy, and first-grade spiritual energy are enough to support an extremely powerful sword-wielding mech.

As time went on, the highly concentrated bloodline energy successfully connected with the [Qingping Sword Box].

The Qingping Sword Box, which had been dormant in his sea of ​​consciousness, suddenly trembled and abruptly leaped down from his sea of ​​consciousness, heading straight into the seven seas of his dantian.

Subsequently, the boundless sword energy within the box surged back like a galaxy, merging seamlessly with Jing Qian's Pangu bloodline. The two immense forces collided violently with the massive amount of Nine Desolate Immortal Qi, unleashing a fierce torrent of magical power.

At the same time, the [Sculpting of Wisdom] burst forth with billions of rays of profound light, forcibly restraining the rampaging torrent of energy into a liquid state, and frantically rushing towards the center of the sternum along the meridians outlined in the "Nine Revolutions Spirit Sword Body Refining Dao Book".

"Crack—!" A metallic clang echoed from deep within the flesh and blood. The purplish-gold essence blood of Pangu, carrying chaotic sword energy, forged the liquid mana into rhomboid armor plates.

Each nail plate is engraved with Jingqian's unique "Sumeru" Dao pattern.

These armor plates seemed to grow directly from Jing Qian's body, embedding themselves perfectly into his chest, corresponding to the position of the [Qingping Sword Box].

The moment the seventy-second armor plate was embedded in the chest cavity, a breastplate was quietly born.

Then, a beam of magical light extended from the breastplate, completely enveloping Jing Qian's body and taking over the position of the [Saintly Appearance].

This magical light and shadow, like an extremely cool suit of light armor, exuded an extremely strong aura, causing the spacetime of the [True Buddha Realm] to be slightly distorted.

Of the entire armor, only the chest plate was actually formed; the rest was formed using magical power.

Upon closer inspection, the aura emanating from this light armor is already that of a first-grade [First-Turn Sword Body]!

Once the sword body was formed, a "Destiny" quietly condensed in Jing Qian's sea of ​​consciousness, occupying one tael and five qian of "fate".

This is proof of the identity of the [Sword Master of Immortality]:

【Destiny: Sumeru Xiang'er Sword Body】

[Position: Destiny]

[One transformation, one grade; evolving!]

Jing Qian silently experienced this [Sword Body], feeling as if he had returned to the womb, his whole body extremely relaxed and clear.

Although most of the [Nine Desolate Immortal Qi] in his body was consumed in the process.

However, the remaining [Immortal Qi] power is circulating within his body at twice the previous speed.

Jing Qian's abilities have once again made rapid progress!
He also possesses two Grade 1 Spiritual Elemental Techniques: the [Eternal Eye of a Fleeting Moment] and the [Sumeru Sword Pellet], which he can use to refine his [Sword Body].

Once he pushes his [Sword Body] to the [Third Rank], he can achieve a significant improvement!
However, when he continued to activate the secret technique of the Longevity Sword Palace and tried to connect with the second Spiritual Machine, he was shocked to find that his physical foundation was not strong enough. He had already overdrawn a lot of the essence of the Pangu bloodline in order to condense the First Transformation Sword Body.

If you want to refine the [Second-Tier Sword Body], you still need to let it settle for a while longer.

Jing Qian didn't dwell on it and immediately shifted his focus to the "Azure Lotus Sword Song Dao Book".

Of the five sword paths, he has personally experienced the wonders of four of them, leaving only the last one, the Azure Lotus Sword Light, which he has not yet cultivated.

The so-called "sword light" carries yet another meaning of cultivation.

If we say that the [Pure Yang Sword Box] accumulates sword energy, the focus is on quantity.

The [Azure Lotus Sword Light] focuses on quality when forging sword light.

By cultivating this lineage and refining the [Sword Light Diagram] destiny, one can extract a wisp of Dao essence from all the elements of one's sword cultivation. After gathering through the [Sword Light Diagram], it is refined and purified with one's own [Immortal Qi] power, ultimately transforming into a surging [Sword Light].

This can greatly enhance the quality of one's magical power by more than one level.

There was once a Qinglianzi who, at the third-grade Mend the Heaven realm, accumulated profound sword cultivation and successfully condensed a sword light of the divine light level, becoming invincible.

Among the five lineages of cultivation, the inheritances of [Azure Lotus] and [Xuanyuan] are the only two that allow one to glimpse the [Divine Light] level of divine power at the third-grade [Mending Heaven] realm.

Xuanyuan was able to condense divine light entirely thanks to a powerful sword pellet that could devour the heavens and the earth.

The Azure Lotus can condense divine light, but it is entirely due to its own inherent magical power.

In comparison, the [Azure Lotus] is much more solid!

The reason Jing Qian put it last in his cultivation was to first accumulate the sword cultivation elements corresponding to other lineages.

Finally, they gathered all their power on this foundation, attempting to refine and condense the [sword light], and comprehensively iterated their own sword energy.

This great retreat has now reached its final climax!
Jing Qian spent five years completing the inheritance of the five sword paths and fully began his training.

Although the other Pure Yang Masters, like him, also received four other inheritances.

However, in a short period of time, only Jing Qian was able to gain some insights from all the inheritances.

This is of utmost importance to his fundamental swordsmanship training!
From then on, his sword system was finally initially established, and the general direction was completely determined.

The only remaining way is through bloodshed and brutal battles to gradually fill in all the gaps and bring his system to full maturity.

He is frantically accumulating strength in preparation for the upcoming war.

This great battle will also mark one of the most important milestones in Jingqian's cultivation journey.

……

Several decades have passed since the [Cube Universe] issued its call to action.

The twenty-six [Cube Heavens] scattered throughout the void finally gathered together, enabling the [Cube Universe] to be successfully reassembled.

The final Rubik's Cube was missing a corner, which was the spot where [Daheitian] once stood.

However, [Daheitian] has already been completely harvested by Jing Qian, leaving not even a trace.

The complete [Cube Universe] now contains over forty powerful demons of the first rank or higher!
There are even four Rank One Great Demons who have cultivated the power of [Time Sequence]!

The power of the [Cube Universe] alone surpasses that of the [Hive Universe] by many times.

The reorganized [Cube Universe] has only one important goal: to settle the karmic debts of [Daheitian].

On this day, the forty-odd great demons who could decide the direction of the entire [Cube Universe] sent their avatars to gather in the very center of [Starry Sky Demon Realm] to discuss the follow-up arrangements.

After a brief and quick discussion, all the big bosses easily reached a consensus.

Unsurprisingly, everyone in Shanghai believes that:

"Kill, kill, kill!"

"Do it, do it!"

As for the specifics of how to kill and carry out the task, a first-rank Great Demon from [Demon Fortune Heaven] said the following:
"Fellow Demon Ancestors, I cultivate the Path of Cause and Effect, and am best able to discern the entanglements of cause and effect."

"The destruction of the Great Black Heaven is clearly related to a sword-cultivation lineage within the Dao Abyss Divine Shuttle Universe that only knows how to kill."

"I also happen to have a beacon from the [Dao Yuan Divine Shuttle Universe]."

"If we fly at full speed, we will reach that cosmic realm within three years."

"If we all exert our full strength, we can completely destroy that universe."

"The Xuanyuan Sword Sect, which slaughtered the Great Black Heaven, will naturally be reduced to ashes as well!"

The big devil spoke with such conviction that he successfully gained everyone's approval.

In fact, none of the great demons in the [Magic Cube Heaven] care whether the real culprit is the [Dao Yuan Divine Shuttle Universe].

For these demons, as long as there are living beings to kill and realms to conquer, that's all that matters.

They don't care about the truth!
Since this great demon is willing to share his treasured dimensional beacons, why don't the demon lords give it a try?
If the demons discover they killed the wrong person after destroying the [Dao Yuan Divine Shuttle Universe], they will be in trouble.

Doesn't that mean there are other realms to kill in?

That would be perfect!
……

Shang Xi did not stay in the Pure Yang Cave for too long.

After obtaining rubbings of several great inheritances, he returned to the mortal world and fled towards the [Southern Demonic Fortune Tathagata Heaven].

He could only study these rubbings while he was on the run!

His goal was extremely clear: to target the core area of ​​Lingshan Temple.

At this time, Shang Xi's cultivation had reached the peak of the third rank, "Mending the Heavens".

Originally, I was only a few suitable [Heavenly Mandates] away from being able to try to advance to the second rank.

With these four sword lineages now, he has no shortage of secret techniques for condensing the [Heavenly Mandate].

However, having been confined within the realm for thousands of years, his accumulation of resources is far inferior to that of other Pure Yang Masters.

Compared to Jing Qian, he was a complete loser and a poor wretch!
Shang Xiquan hoped to make up for his financial shortfall by taking advantage of Lingshan Temple in the upcoming battle.

The terrain of the Southern Demon Fortune Tathagata Heaven is quite peculiar, resembling a sandwich with distinct sections.

The spheres of influence of the Heavenly Demon Palace and the Lingshan Temple were each on one side, completely divided by the Xuanyuan Sword Sect in the middle.

Although they are in the same region, the Heavenly Demon Palace and the Lingshan Temple must pass through the barrier of the Xuanyuan Sword Sect to meet.

This almost caused the two factions to never speak to each other again.

This is the real reason why the demonic sects and Buddhist temples can coexist in the same area.

The connections between [Lingshan Temple] and [Ximang Longtian], and between [Tianmo Palace] and [Dongji Yuyu Changshengtian] are far more numerous than those between the other two.

Under this structure, the Xuanyuan Sword Sect can attack two realms simultaneously, which is more time-saving and labor-saving.

Shang Xi passed through the [Western Mang Longtian] and continued south, concealing his presence as he traversed this Buddhist domain.

Within the entire realm, almost no one noticed that a god of death was traveling at breakneck speed.

Even if someone possessed extraordinary spiritual abilities and sensed Shang Xi's whereabouts, they dared not utter a sound.

After all, judging from the soaring sword energy emanating from this guy, he's clearly a member of the Xuanyuan Sword Sect!
In this [Southern Demonic Fortune Tathagata Heaven], to provoke such a murderous creature is a grave taboo.

One wrong move and you could lose your family, your wife and children, and all your savings and treasures could be used to refine a sword pellet.

Therefore, Shangxi's journey went much more smoothly than he had imagined.

He possesses a spatial beacon transmitted through the [True Corn] by the [Eyeless], allowing him to clearly know the location of the [Eyeless].

After much effort and many twists and turns, he finally arrived at Lingshan City, a gathering place for independent cultivators at the foot of Lingshan Temple. Wuyan had already arranged his trip and had been waiting for him in Lingshan City for a long time.

The two incredibly compatible individuals, Chunyangzi and Yanfuzi, secretly met in the heart of the enemy's territory and exchanged almost no words of nonsense.

Shang Xi then took out a very unique petal from the [Sword Lotus] and solemnly handed it to [Eyeless], before speaking:
"I'm sorry to trouble you, Senior [Eyeless], but this is an item belonging to our sect's founder, [Dragon Power]. It can draw upon a sword aura to break through the mountain-sealing barrier of [Lingshan Temple]."

"However, we need to take this petal inside the Lingshan Temple and mark its location."

"Furthermore, please inform the other [Yanfuzi] as soon as possible."

"Once Ancestor [Dragon Power] breaks through the enemy's barrier with a single sword strike, alerting them, our planned great battle will begin immediately, and we cannot stop now!"

[Blind] took the petal in his hand and then replied:

“This matter is easy. Fellow Daoist, you can wait here for the Heavenly Sword to descend and break through the barrier.”

"I have been waiting for a long time. If I wait any longer, I will almost have cultivated a relic. I will make arrangements as soon as possible, fellow Daoist, please rest assured!"

Having said that, the little monk, who was the incarnation of the "Eyeless One," scurried off into the "Lingshan Temple."
