Chapter 203: Eat and Sleep
The sword embryo paid him no heed and continued flooding him with its thoughts.
Fang Chens face darkened.
This fellows background is indeed extraordinary. If what I saw earlier was real, it would mean that this sword embryo is actually the core of a massive planet, and that hand is likely the doing of a sect ancestor-level existence!
Even so, if this fellow demands to be fed an endless supply of blood essence, it would be no different from a malevolent entity. Not only must I not use it, but I also have to find a way to seal it off. Otherwise, its existence will be like a time bomb that may explode at any moment.
Fang Chen suddenly froze up. He sensed the sword embryo relaying its indignance.
You dont want my blood essence? Fang Chen asked in surprise.
The sword embryo shook sideways.
Then what do you want to eat Fang Chen asked.
The sword embryo was unable to relay detailed information, possibly because their connection wasnt deep enough. Even so, Fang Chen could sense it slowly becoming anxious.
Calm down, let me try to figure it out. Fang Chen consoled it as his mind spun into action.
Its all good as long as it isnt a malevolent entity.
Seconds later, Fang Chens eyes lit up. He took out the Moonsunk Gold Truncheons fragments from his storage ring and asked, Is this what you want?
The sword embryo responded with its action. It enveloped the fragments with its fluid body, and bubbles began popping outward. It looked as if it was digesting the Moonsunk Gold Truncheon.
Fifteen seconds later, a massive bubble popped out from its body, as if it was burping.
Fang Chen had been observing it meanwhile. He noticed that the sword embryos aura had gotten stronger after devouring the Moonsunk Gold Truncheon, and their connection appeared to have deepened as well.
So, is it an artifact that devours other artifacts?
Fang Chen was perplexed. He had no idea whether there were other such artifacts in the world of cultivation, but regardless, it was clear this sword embryo was no ordinary entity. Does this mean that the sword embryo will get increasingly stronger if I feed it a steady supply of artifacts?
Hungry, hungry The sword embryo revolved around Fang Chen. Its message was much clearer this time around.
Youre still hungry? The Moonsunk Gold Truncheon might just be fragments, but it still used to be a twelve daosoul imprint artifact Fang Chen mumbled.
Tr, ash
Fang Chen stared at the sword embryo before slowly speaking up, Youre still young. You shouldnt curse.
Hungry, hungry, very hungry!
Wait.
Not bad. One more step, and youll reach Earth Profound realm. Ill impart the Purple Aura Formula to you. You should practice that alongside your martial cultivation. Whether anything comes out of it or not depends on you, Fang Chen said.
Thank you, young master! Xu Ge nodded in excitement.
Zhao Yan looked at Xu Ge in envy. He might have his martial arts legacy, but he also looked forward to becoming an immortal cultivator too.
Do you wish to become an immortal cultivator too? Fang Chen asked Zhao Yan.
I do. Zhao Yan nodded.
Ill impart a cultivation method to you once you reach Heaven Profound realm, lest you get distracted at this point, Fang Chen replied with a smile.
Zhao Yan was stunned before he broke out in a beaming smile. Thank you, young master. That day wont be too far away.
Fang Chen knew that he wasnt boasting. He sensed that Zhao Yans aura had greatly strengthened over the last few days, a sign that he was close to reaching pinnacle Longevity Ki. Beyond that was Heaven Profound realm.
Heaven Profound realm martial artists, even by the standards of grade-7 states, were not weaklings. Elder Cloudcrane had told him that a pinnacle Heaven Profound realm martial artist was on par with a twelfth stage Ki Refinement cultivator.
Similarly, Liu Suifeng also revealed a look of fear when talking about Heaven Profound realm martial artists.
From this, Fang Chen deduced that martial artists underwent a metamorphosis in this realm, and this metamorphosis might grant them the ability to cross blows with cultivators.
As for what the metamorphosis was, he would have to wait till Zhao Yan made his breakthrough to know for sure.
Young master Fang, Ji Lenghuangs respectful voice could be heard from the doorway.
Fang Chen opened the door.
Ji Lenghuang hurriedly bowed before reporting, Our Old Master says that he has prepared the necessary manpower, and he would like to ask when you wish to make a move.
We can set off now, Fang Chen replied.
He had made a breakthrough to eighth stage Ki Refinement, and he had plenty of Purple Lightning Talismans in his storage ring. It shouldnt be too tough for him to distract the stone fae and bat fae, not to mention that Ji Congyun would be lending a helping hand too.
Ji Lenghuangs eyes lit up in delight. He quickly took his leave to report the matter.
Soon, the Ji Clans massive procession began marching toward the cavern.
This huge commotion naturally caught Chillwaters emperors notice.
Chillwaters emperor stood on the palace walls as he watched the procession leave the capital with a distressed frown.
The Ji Clan has joined hands with Great Xias War God. They might have even opened up the hidden land they have guarded for many years to him too. At this rate, it wont be long before the Ji Clan gains enough power to corner us. What should I do?
An old eunuch standing behind the emperor pondered before replying, Your Majesty, now that the Old Ancestor has fallen, I fear that only the intervention of the White Tiger Empire can turn the tables around.nove(l)bi(n.)com
