Chapter 342: Chapter 341: Lifebound Flying Sword Achieved

Compared to the originally fierce aura of the Silver Flood Dragon Sword, this Flying Sword, which Gu Yuan has re-forged, now looks noticeably less intimidating on the surface.

However, Gu Yuan knows well that this Flying Sword is much more terrifying, due to its sharpness being restrained, than the original Silver Flood Dragon Sword.

Whether in grade or power, this is indeed the case.

Without hesitation, Gu Yuan sliced his palm, forcing out a stream of crimson blood, which he sprinkled onto the blade of the Flying Sword before him.

In an instant, the blood was absorbed and devoured by the Flying Sword, just like a sponge soaking up water.

Clang——!!!

Subsequently, the Flying Sword vibrated with a crisp and resonant sword hum, making one’s scalp tingle and hair stand on end.

Gu Yuan then sensed that the Flying Sword, which had already a slight connection with him, now suddenly became much more intimately linked, feeling almost as if it was an extension of his own arm, moving seamlessly with his will.

It seemed that he only needed to move his mind, and he could easily maneuver the Flying Sword to soar and dive.

Moreover, Gu Yuan could also sense the nascent trace of spirituality within the Flying Sword, not particularly intense, yet having a kind of naive and lively demeanor.

“From now on, your name will be the Primordial Jade Scenery Sword!”

Gu Yuan murmured to himself, almost as if talking to the Flying Sword in front of him, then the Primordial Jade Scenery Sword trembled slightly, emitted another sword hum, and immediately transformed into a wisp of clear light, flying towards Gu Yuan.

The light flashed and disappeared in an instant, then inside Gu Yuan’s Dantian, a small and agile wisp of clear light transformed into a Flying Sword, remaining stationary right at the center of his Dantian.

The faint mist formed by the Primordial True Water from all around surged over, entwining and nourishing this Flying Sword.

“It’s finally accomplished!”

Gu Yuan retracted his divine thought and let out a long breath.

Now, the Primordial Jade Scenery Sword, which he had completed forging, has been successfully tamed. Next, he just needs to nurture it well and familiarize himself with its various characteristics.

When the time is right, the Primordial Jade Scenery Sword will naturally become his Lifebound Flying Sword, like an extension of his body, closely linked with his life and cultivation.

As for the grade of this Flying Sword, hmm, it remains a top-tier Magical Artifact.

However, unlike the previous Silver Flood Dragon Sword with sixty-three layers of restrictions, it now has seventy-two layers of restrictions.

The reason it has not reached the grade of a Magical Treasure, despite being forged with Celestial Spirit Silver Sand and Geng Metal Essence as main materials, is because Gu Yuan’s cultivation is not sufficient.

A Magical Artifact becomes a Magical Treasure only by integrating and merging seventy-two layers of Earth Demon Restrictions into one Celestial Spirit Restriction.

This is something only Golden Core Great Cultivators or even Yin Spirit and Yang Spirit masters can achieve.

Even though Gu Yuan’s combat ability is astonishing, having even slain several Golden Core Great Cultivators, combat prowess is not to be equated with other aspects.

Actually, the reason why Golden Core Great Cultivators are so mighty and cultivated, is because their True Qi has transformed into the more profound Mana.

No matter how strong Gu Yuan’s combat power is or how refined and intricate his True Qi is, his Primordial True Qi is still somewhat inferior to the Mana of Golden Core Great Cultivators.

True Qi is formed by cultivators absorbing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, and fusing it with one’s own essence, Qi, and blood.

Whereas Mana is the fusion of True Qi, Essence, Qi, and Spirit, and all the various divine techniques cultivated by oneself, a more sophisticated and fundamentally stronger power!

Without the refining of Mana, without the involvement of a Golden Core Great Cultivator-level cultivator, a Magical Artifact can never become a Magical Treasure.

However, if he ascends to become a Golden Core Great Cultivator in the future, as long as he continues nurturing it, this Primordial Jade Scenery Sword will naturally rise to become a Magical Treasure.

Yet, even if Gu Yuan’s Primordial Jade Scenery Sword has not reached the Magical Treasure level now, because it is made from Divine Gold materials, Gu Yuan has no fear of clashing head-on with others.

Even when it collides with other Flying Swords of Magical Treasure grade, the Primordial Jade Scenery Sword will not suffer any damage in the slightest.

In terms of power, this Flying Sword may be weaker than a Magical Treasure, but its essence is extremely solid and sharp, challenging to damage.

…

Now that the Primordial Jade Scenery Sword is fully forged, only nurturing and familiarization is needed. Next, Gu Yuan should attend to other matters.

With a wave of his hand, two Jade Bottles appeared before Gu Yuan.

Inside one of the Jade Bottles is a mass of golden blood, shimmering with golden light, exuding an aura of majesty, nobility, and mystery.

This mass of blood is the True Dragon Blood obtained by Gu Yuan after slaying a Dragon Turtle in the Red Dragon Small World and refining its blood.

In the other Jade Bottle is a similar golden blood, about the size of a fist, slightly lesser in quantity, but seemingly of higher quality than the previous one.

It was obtained by Gu Yuan after slaying Du Yuntu and refining the substance within his body.

These two masses of True Dragon Blood are indeed rare treasures, useful in crafting Spirit Pills or in tempering and forging Magical Treasures.

Even consuming and refining them can enhance cultivation and temper the physique.

Aside from that, they can be refined into the body, allowing ownership of the True Dragon Bloodline.

Of course, Gu Yuan disdains such an approach.

What he plans to do now is to enhance his cultivation, particularly his body cultivation.

The “Red Fetus Roasting Furnace Scripture” cultivated by Gu Yuan is an authentic body cultivation Daoist Scripture, pointing directly to the Primordial Spirit Realm, emphasizing Physical Ascension. Once perfected, he would become Immortal, even able to withstand a Spirit Treasure with his physical body.

Even if he dies, as long as a drop of blood or a piece of flesh remains, he can ultimately recover completely.

This Daoist Scripture consists of three parts: the upper volume, the lower volume, and the summary.

The upper volume comprises the Celestial Human Chapter and the Golden Core Chapter, the lower volume contains the Yin Spirit Chapter and the Yang Spirit Chapter.

The summary is the essence of this book, the cultivation technique for reaching the Primordial Spirit Realm.

Gu Yuan’s present body cultivation has reached the Great Success Realm of the Golden Core Chapter, allowing him to compete head-on with cultivators in the Golden Core Great Success Realm using his physical strength.

Now, Gu Yuan plans to use this True Dragon Blood to cleanse himself, elevating his cultivation to a higher level!

True Dragon Blood is a treasure, and to utilize its full potential without waste, careful consideration is required.

After all, Gu Yuan possesses profound alchemy techniques, and to some extent, can be considered an Alchemy Master.

He contemplated for a moment and then took out a large wooden barrel, more than half a person’s height, made of spiritual wood assembled and refined.

It can be used for bathing, and the water inside won’t cool, a rare clever contraption.

Gu Yuan forgot whose storage pouch he found it from, but he has many similar gadgets and, seeing no issue, decided to use it.

After taking out the barrel, Gu Yuan filled it with some Spiritual Spring Water until it was sixty percent full, then began taking out various Spirit Medicines, Spirit Flowers, Demon Beast Essence Blood, and other unidentified items.

After a simple processing, he poured them all into the barrel, quickly turning the Spiritual Spring Water into a bluish-gray color, and a faint medicinal fragrance wafted out.
