The Birth of Sword God-Chapter 48 - 47: Spiritual Embryo Divine Techniques: Sword Heart Clarity

Chapter 48: Chapter 47: Spiritual Embryo Divine Techniques: Sword Heart Clarity

Beside the Cold Pool, those registered disciples showed no reaction, completely unaware of anything.

They only noticed that the long sword strapped on Vice-Captain Liu Chenggong’s back suddenly started to tremble.

These people were only at the Acupoint Opening Stage in their cultivation; they didn’t even have spiritual power in their bodies, so they hadn’t truly begun their cultivation journey.

Thus, they were completely oblivious to the unusual occurrences between heaven and earth.

But Liu Tianfeng and the others were different.

The old man suddenly stood up, his gaze fixed on the Cold Pool in shock.

Niu Yuanshan couldn’t help but step forward, bending down to peer into the seemingly bottomless pool.

Given their level of cultivation, they could perceive another mystical "ripple" spreading outward.

Liu Chenggong’s sword reacted in this way; it must be due to this reason!

The two outer sect stewards exchanged glances, unable to discern any further details despite their realms.

They immediately approached Liu Chenggong and began to examine the sword.

"Did you acquire this sword from Hidden Spirit Mountain?" Niu Yuanshan asked.

Liu Chenggong removed the long sword; this was his lifebound magical treasure, and logically it should be in tune with his mind, yet at this moment, he was unable to control it!

"Steward Niu, this sword is named: Cangsong, indeed obtained from Hidden Spirit Mountain; it is a middle-grade sword embryo, my lifebound spirit sword." He replied honestly, eyes wide with astonishment.

This was his treasure; generally, an outer sect disciple wouldn’t even qualify to obtain a magical treasure from Hidden Spirit Mountain.

People inevitably have a bit of a show-off mentality; Liu Chenggong carried this sword for the envious glances it would draw!

But what was happening now?

"It’s a bit strange," Liu Tianfeng said while looking at the Cangsong sword.

Niu Yuanshan, however, spoke with a certain assurance, "I suspect the mystical force at the bottom of the Cold Pool doesn’t affect just this sword."

He and Liu Tianfeng were not sword cultivators...

But one thing they could confirm was that a treasure in the secret realm had definitely been acquired; otherwise, there wouldn’t be such anomalies!

It’s just unclear who finally obtained it!

...

...

The Outer Sect, Medicine Mountain.

Mo Qingmei, one of the nine stewards, was practicing swordsmanship in her courtyard.

In the entire Outer Sect, there were only three female stewards, half the number of the male stewards, and she was one of them.

Mo Qingmei was middle-aged but well-maintained, a graceful and charming mature woman, the type that Liu Chengqi would intensity imagine in the night.

She wasn’t particularly stunning in beauty but had very fair and pleasing skin, having a charismatic disposition.

Coupled with the fuller figure typical of her age, matched with a gentle demeanor, she was quite popular among the outer sect disciple community.

Recently, Mo Qingmei acquired a new set of profound level swordsmanship, known as Falling Cherry Blossoms.

This swordsmanship was created by a senior female sword cultivator, greatly appealing to her, for it was exceptionally beautiful when performed.

At this moment, halfway through her sword practice, she suddenly turned back in surprise.

She sensed a mystical power undulating in a ripple form, spreading outward, just then passing through her courtyard.

The lifebound spirit sword in Mo Qingmei’s hands began to tremble uncontrollably!

Although the trembling wasn’t as pronounced as Liu Chenggong’s Cangsong, it was still somewhat beyond control.

"What’s going on!" She was immediately alarmed.

Such anomalies in a lifebound magical treasure were not trifles.

"It seems to be coming from the Cold Pool side?" Mo Qingmei glanced westward.

She sheathed her sword immediately and headed toward the Cold Pool.

Strangely, even though the sword was sheathed, it still trembled slightly.

Mo Qingmei was a cultivator at the peak of the Third Realm, and unlike Liu Chenggong, who was merely an outer sect disciple.

She had nurtured her lifebound spirit sword for many years, and the sword spirit must be more spiritually inclined than that of the Cangsong sword.

"It seems... a bit excited." Mo Qingmei couldn’t fathom why.

She quickly moved in the direction of the Cold Pool, her expression serious.

...

...

This ripple continued spreading outwards, soon beyond the scope of Medicine Mountain.

The Daoist Sect’s outer sect consisted of three peaks, with Medicine Mountain being the closest to the Inner Sect.

In the Inner Sect’s Purple Bamboo Forest, Tenth Elder Chu Yinyin was flying in the sky.

She held her lifebound spirit sword, her expression full of gravity.

However, due to her cultivation technique, her physical appearance remained that of a little girl. Hence, her serious expression gave her an appearance of a little adult.

She quickly flew into the depths of the Purple Bamboo Forest, looking solemn as if facing a formidable enemy.

Ahead, there was a stone wall, in front of which sat a woman cross-legged on a boulder.

She was slim, almost too thinly frail, looking extremely fragile.

The woman wore a Daoist robe, dressed in a nun-like manner, with her long black hair styled into a Daoist bun, held by an antique wooden hairpin.

She faced the stone wall, with her back to Chu Yinyin.

She was so slender that her Daoist robe appeared slightly loose.

Chu Yinyin, as the Tenth Elder of the Daoist sect, had cultivation at the Sixth Realm’s Great Perfection.

She deliberately concealed her aura, quietly flying to this place, and fiercely thrust her lifebound spirit sword towards the Daoist nun on the boulder.

As she approached, the Daoist nun, who had her back to her, remained motionless, only the wooden hairpin in her hair seemed to have an imperceptible radiance flowing around it.

An aura spread out, sending Chu Yinyin flying backward, landing heavily on the ground, butt first.

The surprise attack thus failed, and the naturally boisterous her cried out in pain, going into a fit on the spot: "You wretched woman! You deliberately made me fall on my butt again!"

The Daoist nun, one of the Daoist Seven Elders, still faced the stone wall, respectfully seated on the boulder, back to Chu Yinyin, not uttering a word, as if she hadn’t heard a thing.

Chu Yinyin cursed and swore for a long time, but the other party ignored her.

But she seemed long used to it.

After venting her frustration, Chu Yinyin finally looked up at the slender figure on the boulder and said, "Shen Man, when are you going to finish your seclusion? You have no idea how they bullied me while you were away!"

She started to nag about her experiences in the main hall that day, explaining how they all spoke in riddles, saying there was important business to discuss, with those below the Seventh Realm unworthy of knowing. The senior brother, who was the Law Enforcement Elder, even set up an array to stop her from eavesdropping...

"They just look down on me!" Chu Yinyin stood with her hands on her hips, puffing up her flat chest in anger.

As the little junior sister, she actually liked the seventh senior sister the most and disliked the ninth senior sister Nangong Yue the most.

The reason was simple. Because of the drawbacks of her cultivation technique, she still looked like a little girl, while Nangong Yue was the epitome of a buxom beauty.

Not only was she attractive, but her chest was also astonishingly large.

Chu Yinyin had bathed with her, and those two things could even float on water, making her feel so dizzy with jealousy! It was really infuriating.

But the seventh senior sister was different. Because she was so thin, she only had a little budding figure.

Though she had an incredibly ethereal aura, and despite being skinny, inexplicably gave off a fairy-like vibe, she thought she was very cute too!

Not inferior, definitely not inferior!

But Nangong Yue was different; she was obscenely big, ridiculously large!

Therefore, although she called her a wretched woman after failing her antics, in reality, after Daoist Seven Elder Shen Man received the Dao Ancestor Inheritance, she painted a boundary in the Purple Bamboo Forest for seclusion in enlightenment, only Chu Yinyin frequently disturbed her, as she missed her dearly after just a few days apart.

After she spoke at length alone, the Daoist nun on the boulder merely nodded slightly, still saying nothing, like a mute.

But Chu Yinyin naturally knew, how could Seventh Elder be a mute? She just didn’t like to speak.

Even if she did speak, Shen Man, true to her name, would speak very slowly, and her pauses would be odd.

—Because she stuttered.

Just as Chu Yinyin intended to say a few more words, she suddenly turned around, looking behind her.

The mystical ripple had already spread to this place.

The ripple, in its undulation, triggered countless swords.

Even her lifebound spirit sword, "Reunion Joy," trembled slightly.

Though very subtle, Chu Yinyin certainly noticed it.

"Hmm? What kind of phenomenon is this..." she suddenly looked up at the Daoist nun on the boulder.

Chu Yinyin’s eyes curiously fixed on the wooden hairpin in her hair.

In the end, she was disappointed.

Because her spirit sword "Reunion Joy" couldn’t help but react too, but the Daoist nun, a fellow sword cultivator, had that wooden hairpin that didn’t budge at all.

The entire ripple, after spreading to the boulder’s location, stopped abruptly.

For the first time, the Daoist nun, who had remained silent, responded to her.

She provided the answer to this phenomenon.

Her speech was slow, her pauses odd, but her voice was pleasant to the ear:

"Sword...Heart...Clarity." 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

"What!?" Chu Yinyin immediately let out a shriek and then looked towards Medicine Mountain’s direction.

"That’s the Outer Sect!" Her tone rose a few pitches.

Her figure instantly vanished, flying toward Medicine Mountain, leaving only a sentence in the air, "Shen Man, I’m off!"

Leaving the Daoist nun on the boulder, who shook her head with a wry smile.

"She... did not even call me senior sister... no, no manners." She spoke in a doting tone softly.

...

...

In the Cold Pool Secret Realm, Chu Huaixu, sitting cross-legged, and Han Shuangjiang, who was safeguarding him, were unaware of how lively it was at the edge of the cold pool.

The Profound Celestial Fetal Breath Pill was rapidly digesting and absorbing, making him feel warm all over.

Though his body felt as if it were about to boil, he felt no discomfort whatsoever.

Unlike when he was cultivating the "Refining Sword Formulas" section of "Dysmenorrhea," Chu Huaixu felt he was in utter bliss!

Just half a stick of incense ago, he heard a system prompt: "[Ding! Congratulations, your Spiritual Embryo Attribute +1]."

And just now, he heard the same content again.

A single Profound Celestial Fetal Breath Pill actually increased his Spiritual Embryo Attribute by two whole points!

He initially thought it would barely add 1 point, especially since the pill’s feature was a high chance to enhance the Spiritual Embryo grade, also meaning it was possible not to increase even 1 point.

"No wonder it was personally crafted by the Pill King, it’s incredibly potent!" He mused in admiration.

Chu Huaixu even suspected that an ordinary Profound Celestial Fetal Breath Pill was a Seventh Level Spirit Pill, and this one might not just be Seventh Level!

Following this, he soon heard a third system prompt.

"[Ding! You have successfully unlocked the Spiritual Embryo Divine Technique: Sword Heart Clarity!]"

Hearing this, the meditating Chu Huaixu suddenly opened his eyes.
