I bear witness to immortality in the human world.

Chapter 75 The Power of the Flying Sword
The Crimson Python Spear was placed aside.

Wu Ming took a pebble and placed it in front of him. He then focused his soul power again, extended it out of his body, and touched the pebble with his invisible soul power. This time, however, it was different from before. His soul power did not pass through directly, but instead picked up the pebble and let it float in front of him, spinning around.

Because the soul's thoughts are hidden, ordinary people cannot see their existence. They can only see a pebble floating in the air. If it is the middle of the night, they will be frightened and think it is haunted. In fact, ordinary ghosts and demons cannot move matter at all. Only extremely fierce ghosts, or those like Wu Ming who have entered the third level of the primordial spirit realm, can use their soul thoughts to grasp matter.

"It's so heavy."

Wu Ming stared at the pebble. Since he was not holding it with his physical hands, but forcibly lifting it with his soul, even though it was only the size of a thumb, it still felt very heavy to him. Only by concentrating his mind could he lift it. If his mind relaxed even slightly, it would immediately fall from the sky.

He tried to move the pebble in the air with his soul, but the speed was extremely slow. Even if it wasn't a pebble but a poisoned dart, moving it at such a slow speed would be something an ordinary person could react to.

"According to the description in the True Explanation of Daoist Methods, in order to unleash the power of controlling objects, one must practice the methods of controlling objects and refine them into magical artifacts using secret techniques in order to wield them flexibly. But if it were to be replaced by the Art of War..."

Wu Ming took a deep breath, a glint of light flashed in his eyes, and his mind instantly activated the Soldier's Word Technique.

hum!
A profound and mysterious feeling arose spontaneously, and his entire soul underwent a transformation. A secret rune of the character "兵" (soldier) flowed deep within his soul, occupying the entire soul. The soul thoughts stimulated by the "兵" character also contained an indescribable mystery.

In an instant, Wu Ming felt that the soul he had barely managed to capture in that pebble had forcibly penetrated into the pebble's interior and merged directly into it. The secret runes of the character "兵" contained in the soul seemed to permeate the entire pebble in an instant.

The pebble, which had felt incredibly heavy to him, suddenly became as light as a feather. Moreover, Wu Ming felt as if the pebble had become a part of his body, able to be controlled at will.

Swish, swish, swish.

This time, when Wu Ming manipulated the stone again, its speed suddenly became terrifying. In an instant, it spun around Wu Ming's body several times, and then burst out with a sharp whooshing sound as it flew towards the edge of the training room.

Just as it was about to crash into the wall of the quiet room, it suddenly stopped and hovered in the air. Then, with a thought from Wu Ming, it flew back again, leaving only a residual image in the air. When it stopped again, it was floating a foot in front of his brow.

"Amazing, amazing..."

Now Wu Ming finally experienced the power of the magic of manipulating objects, and a hint of amazement appeared in his eyes.

Under his manipulation, this pebble was as easy to control as an extension of his arm, its flexibility beyond imagination. Unlike the human martial arts body, it exerted force without any warning and moved forward and backward at will.

Moreover, the force he unleashes when he goes all out is quite terrifying, even more powerful and faster than when he holds it in his hand and throws it with all his might. It is likely that ordinary blood-coagulation martial artists would have no chance to catch its trajectory.

"With just this insignificant pebble, it would only take a moment to deal with ten or eight martial artists who have undergone secondary blood clotting."

Wu Ming raised his hand, held the pebble between his fingers, and at the same time dispersed his spiritual thoughts.

After refining his primordial spirit three times, he could now operate the "Soldier" technique freely. He also truly experienced the power of this object-controlling secret method. Unlike other object-controlling methods recorded in the Daoist True Explanation, which require inscribing secret patterns and refining them into magical artifacts before they can be operated freely, the "Soldier" technique can control all things without any restrictions. It can directly drive any substance, just like a magical artifact!

Furthermore, due to the unparalleled mystery of the "Soldier's Technique," its ability to control objects is far superior to ordinary methods. Wu Ming estimated that in terms of speed and power, it would far surpass the weapon control techniques recorded in the "True Explanation of Daoist Methods."

at least,

He felt that he could easily disorient He Tian, ​​the Black Cloud Bandit, even when he was at his peak, by simply controlling this pebble. If he were to use a more powerful hundred-refined steel needle, killing He Tian would be no problem at all!
It should be noted that He Tian is no ordinary person. Among the martial arts masters who have achieved the third stage of blood coagulation, he is almost at the peak, and his skills have even reached the realm of unity. Even if Zhou Huai'an and the other three masters of the Night Patrol Division joined forces, they would not be able to defeat him in a short period of time.

"call."

Wu Ming took a deep breath. A glint of darkness flashed in his eyes as his mind sank into the depths of his soul.

Although the "Soldier's Mantra" can control all things, it is still inferior to a true magical artifact in terms of power when controlling ordinary stones and steel needles. According to the description in the "True Explanation of Daoist Methods", it is not easy to forge a magical artifact. First of all, the blank is hard to find. It requires refined steel or materials with extremely yin properties. It must be forged into a type with killing power, such as a steel needle or a small sword.

Afterwards, one needs to use their own cultivated manipulation techniques to inscribe secret runes and refine them day and night for at least forty-nine days to initially complete the process. Even after completion, it still needs to be tempered daily in order to reach a state of perfect unity and unleash its maximum power.

but,
He happened to have no shortage of ritual implements.

Wu Ming, wielding the "Soldier" technique, once again touched the Black Emperor's Demon-Subduing Diagram with his soul, entering the Demon-Subduing Realm once more. Looking at the endless array of billions of weapons of war planted upside down on the earth, he randomly selected the one closest to him.

This is a flying sword, unlike the swords used by martial arts masters. It does not have a hilt or guard, because it does not need to be held in the hand. Therefore, the hilt and guard are both cumbersome. Its length is also shorter than that of a short sword in martial arts, only a little over a foot.

"These are all magical artifacts that were forged after the Demon-Subduing Diagram suppressed evil spirits. In essence, they should all have been forged using the Military Arts Technique, and they contain the secret patterns of the Military Arts Technique. I should be able to control them easily."

With that thought in mind, Wu Ming immediately manipulated his soul, sending it surging towards the flying sword and instantly merging into it.

boom.

The moment his soul entered the flying sword, Wu Ming felt a thunderous roar in his mind, as if a blood-red thunderbolt had exploded in his consciousness, and an incomparably terrifying aura of ferocity and killing intent permeated the air.

It was only with his powerful divine soul, forged through three refinements of his primordial spirit, and the resilient will tempered by the "Lin" technique, that he was able to barely withstand the impact of this killing aura, preventing his consciousness from being overwhelmed and dominated by violence and slaughter.

"What a terrifying magical artifact..."

Although Wu Ming had anticipated this, he still trembled at the terrifying aura of killing intent.

According to the description in the Daoist True Explanation, this flying sword located at the very edge should only be of low grade, but the killing aura contained within it is incredibly astonishing. Moreover, Wu Ming is indeed wielding this flying sword as he expected, as if it were an extension of his own arm, without any sense of awkwardness. Its essence is indeed a magical artifact forged by the Soldier's Technique.

This flying sword was placed in this world within the map, casually positioned at the very edge. It had been dormant for countless years. In other words, it had been tempered by the "Soldier's Mantra" for countless years. The intent of war and slaughter had long been integrated into every inch of the sword's blade. Such a magic weapon, refined to the extreme, was undoubtedly the pinnacle among low-grade weapons.

Swish! Swish!

With a thought, Wu Ming manipulated the flying sword, flicking it out in mid-air to create two sword flowers.

These two casual strokes brought an indescribable shock to Wu Ming's heart.

Strong.

too strong.

This flying sword was actually much heavier than the pebble he had picked up, but in his perception it was much lighter than that pebble. It was effortless to wield, and its speed and power were more than twice as strong!
Recalling the battle between He Tian and Zhou Huai'an and others that night, Wu Ming felt that if he were to wield this flying sword and strike from mid-air, it would probably only take him an instant to kill He Tian!

"I've only just entered the third stage of the Nascent Soul Refinement, yet I can wield this weapon of slaughter with such power..."

Wu Ming was so engrossed in the powerful energy of the flying sword that he was momentarily dazed.
