Eternal Life: Hundredfold Rewards-Chapter 344 - 203: Slain! Tier Three Top Grade Flying Sword!

Chapter 344: Chapter 203: Slain! Tier Three Top Grade Flying Sword!

Situ Jiang did not mind this.

He had long known that Qi Chuan was not someone ordinary.

For Qi Chuan, the Wind Moon Sect was a bit too small. Joining the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect would offer better opportunities for development.

Such situations are actually quite common in the Immortal World and are very normal.

However, for ordinary cultivators, a Core Formation Sect is more than enough to accommodate their development. Thus, such situations hardly occurred in the Wind Moon Sect, but it is indeed quite normal in itself.

Furthermore, if Qi Chuan hadn’t joined the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect and brought Feng Tan, a Core Formation Middle Stage aid, the crisis of the Wind Moon Sect would truly have been unsolvable.

"Fellow Daoist Situ, please rest assured. Although Junior Brother Qi Chuan has joined our Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect, he will also remain a member of the Wind Moon Sect. Our Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect will not impose strict restrictions on him," Feng Tan said to Situ Jiang.

Situ Jiang nodded and said, "This is a good thing for both Qi Chuan and our Wind Moon Sect."

In fact, this is inherently a win-win situation for all three parties.

The three chatted for a while longer, then Feng Tan proposed to leave and return to the Cave Mansion temporarily provided to him by the Wind Moon Sect.

After Feng Tan left, Qi Chuan couldn’t help but ask Situ Jiang, "Master, is it true that the Grandmaster has really..."

Situ Jiang sighed and nodded, saying, "A few years ago, I received a message sent by the Grandmaster before his passing. By the time I arrived at his place of retreat, I only found a lifeless..."

Qi Chuan fell silent.

Situ Jiang said, "The Celestial Punishment Thunder Prison Visualization Method came too late. If it had been earlier, perhaps the Grandmaster might have had some chances. You know, the Celestial Punishment Thunder Prison Visualization Method is inherently difficult to cultivate, and the chances of a breakthrough are even lower as one’s great limit approaches than during the peak of vitality..."

He had also practiced the Celestial Punishment Thunder Prison Visualization Method.

Though this Refining God Technique was powerful, it was extremely difficult to cultivate. Over the years, he had only slightly enhanced the strength of his Divine Soul.

Now he has broken through the Fake Pill Stage, and because of the Celestial Punishment Thunder Prison Visualization Method, his Divine Soul is comparable to an ordinary Core Formation Early Stage cultivator, which is already considered good.

But Profound Sword True Master was different.

Profound Sword True Master aimed to achieve the breakthrough of the Divine Soul into the Nascent Soul Stage at the Peak of Core Formation.

Then use the Divine Soul at the Nascent Soul Stage to reverse deduce the Profound Celestial Spirit Devouring Sword Technique, deducing the Tenth Layer Sword Technique.

And finally, through the Tenth Layer Sword Technique, allowing Profound Sword True Master to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm.

The challenge here is immense in merely causing the Divine Soul Level to advance into the Nascent Soul Stage ahead of time.

Moreover, there are subsequent steps that are equally difficult.

Every step must be completed well enough to allow Profound Sword True Master to become a Nascent Soul, and any error in one step would lead to failure.

This is also the drawback of the Profound Celestial Spirit Devouring Sword Technique. Though powerful, the limitations are indeed significant.

Qi Chuan, too, practiced the Profound Celestial Spirit Devouring Sword Technique, naturally understanding this principle deeply.

However, upon suddenly hearing this confirmed news, he couldn’t help but lapse into a long silence.

Situ Jiang also let out a sigh, not speaking for a long time.

He too had once fantasized about Profound Sword True Master breaking through to the Nascent Soul, with the Wind Moon Sect ascending to become a Nascent Soul Major Sect, standing alongside the North Magnetic Divine Palace, renowned throughout Nanhua State.

But ultimately, it was not to be realized.

After a long time, Situ Jiang patted Qi Chuan on the shoulder, comforting him, "However, the Grandmaster still left you with something."

"What is it?"

Qi Chuan was somewhat surprised and lifted his head.

Then he saw his master take out a Three-foot Black Sword from the Qiankun Bag.

The Black Sword looked as if it was forged from ordinary Profound Iron, with a surface that seemed a little pitted and a not-so-sharp blade, rather blunt.

It was actually a Dull Bladeless Sword.

And no sword Qi was being emitted from it.

Qi Chuan did not expect that the Grandmaster would leave him such a sword, appearing quite ordinary.

He instinctively released his Divine Sense to scan the Three-foot Black Sword before him.

Then, he discovered that the Three-foot Black Sword spontaneously generated a force, holding his Divine Sense at bay.

"This is..."

Witnessing this scene, Qi Chuan’s expression couldn’t help but change dramatically.

It must be known that, with his current Divine Soul Level, even ordinary Core Formation Early Stage couldn’t compare.

And yet, the Three-foot Black Sword before him could repel his Divine Sense, its grade at least amounted to that of a Magical Treasure!

And the Grandmaster, being at the Peak of Core Formation Late Stage True Master, left behind such a sword, on the same level as a magical treasure, for him, could it be...

"It seems you’ve guessed it."

Situ Jiang nodded and said, "You are right. This sword is indeed the Grandmaster’s Lifebound Flying Sword in his lifetime. In his will, he explicitly stated it was meant for you."

"However, although this sword is rated as a Tier Three Top Grade, for some reason, I can’t make the slightest use of it. The Grandmaster left it for you, and I don’t know whether it will be of any help to you."

Situ Jiang said as he handed the Three-foot Black Sword over to Qi Chuan.

For years, he led the Wind Moon Sect’s folks in resistance against the Celestial Soul Hall’s cultivator army, naturally striving to boost his own strength to protect the Wind Moon Sect.

This Three-foot Black Sword, of course, he would pass on to Qi Chuan.

But before that, he tried borrowing it to mitigate the Wind Moon Sect’s crisis.

After all, being a Tier Three Top Grade Flying Sword, its power was undoubtedly potent. Even though he was a Fake Pill, as long as he could utilize part of the power, fighting the Golden Silkworm wouldn’t be as strenuous.

But in the end, it was unusable; this Tier Three Top Grade Flying Sword remained a mundane object in his hands.

Qi Chuan gazed at the Three-foot Black Sword before him.

He naturally understood why his master couldn’t use this flying sword.

In fact, not only could his master not use it, but even he, as a cultivator in the Core Formation Early Stage who had practiced the Profound Celestial Spirit Devouring Sword Technique, couldn’t use it.

Including his Tier Two Top Grade Flying Sword, Vibrating Annihilation Sword, if he were to perish, others wouldn’t be able to use it either.

This is one of the effects after upgrading the flying sword’s grade through the Spirit Devouring Sword Forging Technique.

However, the Grandmaster passing on the Three-foot Black Sword to him still represents an incredibly precious gift.

Because although Qi Chuan couldn’t use it, he could utilize the Spirit Devouring Sword Forging Technique to devour and refine some of the Metal Essence Qi within it, integrating it into his own flying sword, thereby raising its grade.

At this moment, looking at the Tier Three Top Grade Flying Sword before him, Qi Chuan felt it to be incomparably weighty, as though a mortal facing a sword weighing over a thousand pounds.

Because the Grandmaster bestowed upon him the Sword Technique and his Lifebound Flying Sword accumulated over a lifetime of cultivation, the sense of gratitude was immense. Yet, in the end, the Celestial Punishment Thunder Prison Visualization Method that he mastered couldn’t aid the Grandmaster.

Now, the Grandmaster has passed, and these debts of gratitude have nowhere to be redeemed.

Reflecting on these, for some reason, Qi Chuan felt a profound sense of regret, a vast regret.

This regret didn’t stem from himself but rather for others.

"The world is unpredictable; how can there be perfection?"

Seeing Qi Chuan’s expression, Situ Jiang could naturally vaguely surmise the inner turmoil Qi Chuan was experiencing, gently smiling at him and saying, "Take heart. If you truly wish to do something about it, why not carry the Supreme Elder’s Sword Technique and Flying Sword, carving a path through the challenges of cultivation, striving to climb to the pinnacle, and that would be it."

Listening to Situ Jiang’s words, Qi Chuan slightly pursed his lips.

He didn’t quite believe that.

Compensating for regrets from the external is, after all, not genuine compensation.

However, what his master said was correct in one aspect.

That is, while such a method doesn’t wholly compensate for regrets, it is, after all, the only thing he can do.

"Thank you, Master, for the guidance. I now understand what I should do."

Qi Chuan nodded. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Although his eyes still carried hues of regret, they were no longer muddled.
