Chapter 433: Communication With the Sword Spirit
Translator: jinzeffect
For the next few days, Li Fuchen attempted to communicate with the sword spirit inside the Joint-Heaven Sword.
The ability to communicate with the weapon spirit was different from each individual.
There were some weapon spirits that would automatically choose their owners, while some would be unyielding and would have to be subdued with willpower. There were some weapons spirits that were extremely evil and would tempt the owner without the need to communicate.
The Joint-Heaven Sword was in the sealed state, hence, the sword spirit must also be sealed up. If Li Fuchen wanted to communicate with it, it was truly quite difficult.
The only thing Li Fuchen could rely on was his exceptional awareness.
He had to use his awareness to sense the sword spirit and communicate with it.
Days passed by and Li Fuchen would spare out a portion of time to sense the sword spirit on a daily basis.
There wasn’t any gain but during the process, Li Fuchen had an increased understanding of the Joint-Heaven Sword. He had comprehended more of the sword pattern in the Joint-Heaven Sword. The sword pattern foundation in his body was methodically increasing.
“The Joint-Heaven Sword’s sword pattern is too profound. I might be able to sense the sword pattern, but only the most fundamental outer borders of the sword pattern. However, it still gives off a heavenly law-like sensation.” Li Fuchen felt that if he could completely grasp the fundamental sword pattern of the Joint-Heaven Sword, his sword pattern proficiency would definitely reach an extremely high level. Becoming a Sword Pattern Grandmaster was just a matter of time.
A Sword Pattern Grandmaster was able to form sword patterns that were earth class low-tier or beyond. Even a stick in the hand would be able to burst out with the power of an earth class low-tier weapon within a short period of time.
On this day, Li Fuchen continued to sense the sword spirit and comprehend the mystics of the sword pattern.
Suddenly, Li Fuchen had an inspiration as the sword pattern foundation in his mind was integrated and had developed an earth class low-tier sword pattern.
This earth class low-tier sword pattern was very abstruse like a sharp sword made of nothing.
Li Fuchen picked up a dried-up branch from the ground and embedded it with the earth class low-tier sword pattern.
Chi Chi!
The branch burst out with shocking sword radiance. For an instant, the qi presence from the branch was comparable to the earth class low-tier, Scarlet Blood Sword.
But in the next moment, the branch split open and was turned into fine dust.
The earth class low-tier sword pattern was too dominant and the branch couldn’t endure it at all.
“Now that I have comprehended an earth class low-tier sword pattern, perhaps I can try to complete the incompleted Silver Sword Essence.”
Li Fuchen had obtained three parts of the Sword Essence secret technique. The Black Iron Sword Essence and the Bronze Sword Essence were complete, but the Silver Sword Essence had one missing part.
Since the Silver Sword Essence was incomplete, it was naturally unable to be cultivated. The silver sword pattern that would be ultimately formed wasn’t an ordinary earth class mid-tier sword pattern, but an extremely special earth class mid-tier sword pattern. After all, if it was just an ordinary sword pattern, it would be too simple.
Every single Sword Pattern Grandmaster would have comprehended plenty of earth class sword patterns. Didn’t it mean that every Sword Pattern Grandmaster were able to create a sword essence secret technique?
The sword patterns from the sword essence secret technique were very suitable for the human body. They could be perfectly integrated with the human skeleton and become a part of the bones. An ordinary sword pattern might be able to enhance the bones but it would also solidify the bones, causing the bones to lose any potential to grow.
With the incomplete Silver Sword Essence, Li Fuchen was bold enough to say he could try to complete it. If he had to create an entire sword essence by himself, he would simply give up.
Sword essence secret techniques were too insane as they could be stacked to enhance other secret techniques.
If Li Fuchen didn’t guess it wrongly, individuals who were able to create sword essence secret techniques must be upper echelons of establishments. Their cultivation would at least be at the Primary Sea Realm or even beyond.
Perhaps, there was a Gold Sword Essence after this?
“Have you finally comprehended the fundamental sword pattern of the Joint-Heaven Sword?” An unreal voice echoed from the Joint-Heaven Sword.
“Sword spirit?” Li Fuchen’s heart jumped as he asked.
“That’s right, it is this supreme one. If you are able to obtain the Joint-Heaven Sword, it meant that you share the fate of the Joint-Heaven Sword and also with me. Right now, I will release a trace of qi presence to aid you in undoing the first seal.” As the voice spoke, a trace of world destructive and severe qi presence was released.
Li Fuchen had almost subconsciously executed the Mystic Heaven Sword Intent.
With the combination of two, there was a sound of chains being broken that came from within the Joint-Heaven Sword. At the same moment, an extremely tyrannic sword qi rushed towards the sky, piercing through the boundless wind and snow.
The first seal of the Joint-Heaven Sword was unsealed.
“Earth class mid-tier?” Li Fuchen’s brows were raised as he held the Joint-Heaven Sword and sensed the sword qi’s prowess from the sword.
If it had reached the earth class mid-tier after unsealing the first seal, didn’t it mean it would reach the earth class peak-tier or the heaven class low-tier after the second seal was broken?
“This truly is an incredible artifact sword.” Li Fuchen was in a great mood.
Earth class mid-tier weapons were very rare even on the Seven Color Continent. They were generally not seen in the market, especially artifact swords. Due to the high demand, people could only contest for it with a huge price in auctions.
With the Joint-Heaven Sword, Li Fuchen’s strength would certainly be increased significantly.
“Of course it is incredible. In ancient times, the Joint-Heaven Sword stands at the top of the Three Mighty Divine Swords. It has slaughtered countless saints. A single trace of sword qi is already enough to extinguish countless of people like you.” The sword spirit spoke with arrogance.
Li Fuchen let out an embarrassed smile and asked, “What cultivation realm are saints in?”
“You are still far from that realm. Telling you will only waste my time. Alright then, you have merely undone the first seal. Talking to you is squandering a lot of my energy. I will go back to sleep. Remember, do not disturb me unless necessary.”
After speaking, there was no more presence.
“Saints should be existences that are far beyond the Primary Sea Realm monarchs!” The highest realm that Li Fuchen currently knew was the Primary Sea Realm. As for the realms above the Primary Sea Realm, maybe only the Seven Color Continent would have such information.
Of course, as just as the sword spirit mentioned. Knowing wouldn’t do Li Fuchen any good. When he reached the Battle Spirit Realm or the Primary Sea Realm, he would naturally know.
“That’s right. I wonder if there is any sword art to inherit after undoing the first seal.”
Wielding the Joint-Heaven Sword, Li Fuchen thrust towards the sky.
This sword seemed to be the sword from the heavens, it was silent and without presence. The wind and snow above the Wind Snow Mountains were split open along with the layers of clouds above. It looked as though the sky was split into two and the horrific qi presence was still extending upwards.
Subsequently, Li Fuchen’s mind was surging with plenty of information. The information started off in a very disordered manner but soon enough, it had formed into a set of words.
“High Heaven Sword Art, earth class mid-tier sword art...”
“Earth class mid-tier sword art uh?” Li Fuchen revealed a smile.
He might already have the Green Sun Sword Intent, but it didn’t mean that he didn’t need other earth class mid-tier sword arts.
Furthermore, the Green Sun Sword Intent didn’t have any moves. It was very formidable but it had to be slowly comprehended.
The High Heaven Sword Art was different. With the Joint-Heaven Sword, the comprehension speed of the High Heaven Sword Art would be many times faster. Furthermore, the moves contained within the High Heaven Sword Art was much stronger with each subsequent move. There were moves and stances that had far superior profundity than the Green Sun Absolution.
The Green Sun Absolution was created by Li Fuchen and couldn’t be considered anything as it was merely releasing a large portion of qi.
“Now that the sword is upgraded, no one will be a match for Young Hero Li in the East Unicorn Continent.”
The thrust by Li Fuchen made an excessive commotion. Mu Hanxin who was familiarizing himself with the earth class low-tier gloves had looked over and seen an unforgettable scene.
The outer borders of the Joint-Heaven Sword was only the fundamental sword pattern, after undoing the first seal, the sword pattern was much more profound. It was as though countless earth class sword patterns were combined. A single glance had numbed Li Fuchen’s scalp, he knew that without spending years, he wasn’t going to comprehend it.
“Kid, spend more time to comprehend the sword pattern. It will be beneficial to you.” The sword spirit who was in a deep sleep had suddenly said another statement.
Li Fuchen knew deeply that sword patterns and sword arts were all part of the sword dao. Comprehending the sword patterns was the same as comprehending the sword dao.
Of course, comprehending sword patterns wasn’t something that could be done overnight, there wasn’t any method to be impetuous.
“Let me cultivate the High Heaven Sword Art first.”
Li Fuchen wished to know the difference between the High Heaven Sword Art and the Green Sun Sword Intent.
...
Huff Huff Huff...
In the peak that was covered in white snow, wind and snow was everywhere.
Chi!
A pale blue sword light that looked like it had a spirit was traversing through the wind and snow with speed of a lightning bolt.
Chi Chi Chi...
More pale blue sword lights were released and each of them had a different trajectory. They were all contained with extraordinary spirituality.
The one practicing the sword was naturally Li Fuchen.
Since the High Heaven Sword Art had moves, it was much easier to cultivate than the Green Sun Sword Intent.
Of course, this was mainly because the sword intents of the High Heaven Sword Art and the Joint-Heaven Sword was very compatible, hence, only half the effort required to produce double the cultivation results.
In just three short days, Li Fuchen had cultivated the High Heaven Sword Art to the sub-completion stage.
The High Heaven Sword Art had a total of four moves. The first move was corresponding to the sub-completion stage, the second move corresponded to the completion stage which was also the sub-perfection stage, the third move corresponded to the perfection stage, and the fourth move corresponded to the trance stage.
As long as the first move was mastered, the High Heaven Sword Art would be considered to be at the sub-completion stage.
After mastering the second move, the High Heaven Sword Art would be at the completion stage, and so on.
But this didn’t mean that the first move would be useless after mastering the second move.
The sub-completion stage would be achieved after mastering the first move, but after the second move was mastered, the first move’s power would also increase together and reach the completion stage.
“This move is called Fish in the Water. It is extremely nimble and is simply at the extreme opposites of the Green Sun Sword Intent.”
The Green Sun Sword Intent might be a burst of thousands of sword lights. It was vast, imposing, and magnificent, but if the opponent could react in time, it would be easily defended.
But Fish in the Water wasn’t that easy to defend.
Of course, it didn’t mean that the Green Sun Sword Intent was inferior to the High Heaven Sword Art.
The power of the Green Sun Sword Intent surpassed the High Heaven Sword Art. Furthermore, no matter the moment, more sword lights was also an advantage. When thousands of sword lights were blasted out, there were just a few same level individuals that could block against them.
The first move used up three days of Li Fuchen’s time. The second move took up ten days.
This move was called Brave the Wind. It was extremely tyrannical and extremely aggressive.
The sword light would be released instantly when the sword was brandished, and it would have a fearsome prowess.
The third move was called Soar Into the Sky and fourth move was called High Heaven’s Sword.
“If I master the third move, the power is probably comparable to the Green Sun Absolution.”
The Green Sun Absolution was ultimately created by Li Fuchen and there were many aspects that were flawed and it contained shallow sword dao’s laws.
The High Heaven Sword Art was different, every move was extremely profound. 30% of qi was enough to produce 100% of the effect.
Li Fuchen reckoned that the third move would use qi that was only 10% of what the Green Sun Absolution used.
Once Li Fuchen mastered it, he wouldn’t have any problems in extended battles.
