Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 492: Chapter 492 Half-Demon Half-Hero_1

After Ling Xiao left,

a tale of a young swordsman with a blend of demon and hero traits began to circulate in the area of Sanders Castle.

With his own strength alone, he destroyed Linglong Immortal Palace, killed the core disciple of Beast King Palace, Wang She,

rescued countless victimized women, and restored the former tranquility to Sanders Castle.

In fact, not long after this incident, Moon Hua Sect sent people to take over the place, and of course, they did so purely because Moon Lady had given Chang Yueying a heads-up.

After all, if Beast King Palace were to vent their fury on Sanders Castle, it was estimated that many people there would die.

The seemingly domineering and powerful woman, Moon Lady, was actually very thoughtful.

...

Before returning to Moon Hua Sect, Ling Xiao made a trip to Divine Sword Sect. He left behind a large number of Ordinary Treasures, Fine Treasures, gold and silver, and a great amount of elixirs before hurrying back to Moon Hua Sect.

Upon returning to the sect, Ling Xiao did not meet with anyone but went to his dwelling in the Outer Sect to start preparing for some things.

First, he used the Precious Treasure Artifacts he obtained from the Demon Lord’s Demon Cave to purify all thirty-six of his Tiăngāng Swords into Precious Treasure level flying swords.

He also refined the Floating Snow Sword while he was at it.

Thus, his two longswords, the Ice Dragon Sword and the Floating Snow Sword, were both at the level of Precious Treasure swords.

And all thirty-six Tiăngāng Swords had become Precious Treasure level flying swords, too.

In the entire Moon Hua Sect, no one could surpass him.

It was just unfortunate that he had used up all of the Precious Treasures, otherwise, he really would have liked to give one to Dai Yuling.

However, there were still three Fine Treasures left, which he planned to give to Dai Yuling, Zhao Zhi, and Shang Guan Lei.

Giving Dai Yuling one was naturally because of friendship.

Giving to Zhao Zhi and Shang Guan Lei, however, was to curry favor.

Don’t assume that just because those two were already Inner Sect Disciples, obtaining a Fine Treasure was easy for them.

Especially a defensive magical treasure.

This type of magical treasure was the hardest to come by within all treasures, yet its utility was the greatest.

Afterward, Ling Xiao spent a day reviewing and absorbing the battle scenes from recent days.

He transformed the experience gained in battles into his own.

With such efforts, his practice of Nine Veins Qi Sword finally entered an enlightened state, and the comprehension of the last three qi swords surprisingly only took him one shichen to master.

This was mainly because these past days, he had been continuously trying to use Nine Veins Qi Sword in battles, collecting a substantial amount of experience.

As he had anticipated, after the full cultivation of the nine qi swords, he discerned the true moves from the original incantations.

Surely, Gold-top Level Martial Arts could not just be a simple qi sword attack; if that were the case, it wouldn’t even compare to the Snow Lotus Sword Technique.

Now, he had clarified his understanding.

The mastery of this set of martial arts techniques required constant practice, accumulation of experience, and then going back to the incantations, leading to fresh realizations.

It was only regrettable that he had just managed to cultivate the nine qi swords, so he had only grasped one technique. This technique was formed in coordination with his Mountain and River Martial Soul and the incantation.

He had let his Martial Soul Avatar try out its power within the Mountain and River World, which was extremely terrifying. Just this one technique was nearly as powerful as the final move of the Snow Lotus Sword Technique.

The key is that it can be executed faster, and you don’t even need to draw your sword to use it.

It seems that as his cultivation level continued to rise, his proficiency in various martial skills improved, and the ”Snow Lotus Sword Technique” would gradually become obsolete.

However, this is a natural law, and he had nothing to worry about. Since the day he began practicing martial arts, he had cultivated many martial techniques, all of which eventually faced obsolescence. But these martial arts not only provided him with strong combat capabilities at that stage but, more importantly, they provided him with patterns and knowledge about cultivating martial arts.

This could be considered a form of accumulation.

If he had not cultivated the ”Snow Lotus Sword Technique” before, he would not have been able to practice the ”Nine Veins Qi Sword” as effortlessly as he does today.

Apart from the ”Nine Veins Qi Sword,” Ling Xiao’s ”Shadow Transmutation Sword Art” also improved. He could now condense ten Sword Soul Clones.

Yes, Sword Soul Clones, not Sword Shadow Clones.

The counter-hunting in the Fulong Mountain Range had allowed him to obtain a large number of sword-related Martial Souls, hence all his Sword Shadow Clones were condensed into Sword Soul Clones.

With only three Sword Soul Clones remaining to be condensed, once successful, he would be able to smoothly refine the techniques of the ”Shadow Transmutation Sword Art.”

In fact, the ”Shadow Transmutation Sword Art” was the replacement for the ”Snow Lotus Sword Technique.”

It is of a higher class, more powerful, and also a sword technique.

Additionally, he now has three Out-of-body Realm Martial Souls within his body — the Plague Demon King’s Martial Soul, Fairy Dragon Martial Soul, and Iron Pine Martial Spirit have all reached the realm of a one-day Out-of-body experience. It’s just a pity that because the Mountain and River Martial Soul’s level is quite low, he is temporarily unable to continue improving it.

Aside from that, he is still holding the ”Evil Beast Demon King” captive, raising an Ancient Golden Dragon, and also has an iron sheet that emanates a murderous aura which does not seem to be any less pressure-inducing than the Ancient Golden Dragon’s might.

As for other Martial Souls, he used some to strengthen the soul of the Ancient Golden Dragon, and the rest was given to the Mountain and River Martial Soul to devour.

The level of the Mountain and River Martial Soul is too low, so it must be elevated. Otherwise, the other Martial Souls would be stuck at the one-day Out-of-body Realm and unable to advance.

Luckily, after devouring so many Martial Souls, the Mountain and River Martial Soul had already reached the pinnacle of a Transparent Body, with a breakthrough possible at any time.

This was only a matter of time, as digesting those devoured Martial Souls would also take quite a long time.

He estimated that after this incident, at the very least, the Mountain and River Martial Soul would be able to advance to the pinnacle of the Complete Soul phantom stage, and potentially even to the Complete Soul corporeal stage.

The gains from this time at Sanders Castle and the Fulong Mountain Range were truly enormous.

After finishing these tasks, Ling Xiao then left his cave dwelling, ready to give three defense-oriented Precious Treasure Artifacts to Dai Yuling and the others.

There were two days left until the Moon’s Arrival Festival, and the Pagoda Climbing Ceremony would officially start on the third day after the festival began.

The previous three days would not be idle either, mainly used to hold a selection process. Apart from the seeded players, all other disciples who had not participated in the Pagoda Climbing Ceremony three times could participate in the qualification selection.

It is said that the Moon Lady made some adjustments to the rules of the Pagoda Climbing Ceremony’s qualification competition this time.

Because of the successive appearances of the Plague Demon King and the Evil Beast Demon King, as well as the emergence of the Mountain and River Martial Soul, it is felt that the Mysterious World will undergo major changes.

Adjusting the rules was meant to allow more disciples to qualify for the Pagoda Climbing Ceremony.

The previous conditions were too strict, and the number of disciples who ultimately qualified to enter the Moon Blossom Pagoda would definitely not exceed twenty.

Sometimes, there would be as few as only one or two.

But this time it was different. The original rules were not adopted, and instead, the number of spots for this Pagoda Climbing Ceremony was increased to fifty.

These fifty spots would be determined through competition.

That is to say, no matter what, this time, the number of disciples entering the Moon Blossom Pagoda would not be fewer than fifty.

This number might seem small compared to the number of disciples in the Moon Hua Sect, but it was many more than those who had entered in the past.
