Chapter 124 – Heavenly Origin Realm, cultivate divine sense!
Hong Qi had been following Meng Fan for quite some time, and although she appeared to be merely a sword spirit in form, her essence was, without a doubt, human.
Meng Fan naturally wanted to "revive" Hong Qi if given the chance.
But it was a monumental task, not something that could be achieved overnight, and Meng Fan currently lacked the ability to do so.
Promising such a feat now and failing to deliver would only lead to disappointment for Hong Qi.
Thus, even though Meng Fan harbored this desire, he kept it to himself.
However, Meng Fan's thoughts were not mere flights of fancy!
As long as the Hong Qi Sword became his personal Law Sword, not only would the sword itself be nurtured by him, but so would the sword spirit, Hong Qi.
Especially since Meng Fan practiced Fu Xi's visualization techniques, which were far more powerful than ordinary methods, giving him an advantage.
Day by day, under Meng Fan's nurturing, the sword spirit Hong Qi would grow stronger and more substantial.
Eventually, she could evolve from a spirit body into a soul body.
And then, with further progression, she could become a "Ghost Cultivator."
These gradual changes would transform Hong Qi completely.
If Meng Fan could find a method to reconstruct a physical body, then Hong Qi could truly be revived.
Of course, this was still a long and arduous journey.
Without decades or even centuries, it was unlikely to be accomplished!
"Next, I plan to break through to the Heavenly Origin Realm and simultaneously condense my Divine Sense, which will be the most critical step for the Hong Qi Sword to become my personal Law Sword," Meng Fan said to Hong Qi. "Return to the Hong Qi Sword for now, and no matter what happens next, do not resist!"
"Understood, Master!" Hong Qi nodded and her ethereal figure returned to the Hong Qi Sword.
Meng Fan sat cross-legged on the bed, placing the Hong Qi Sword on his knees.
Xiao Qing, sensing something unusual from inside his pocket, crawled out and coiled on the bed, watching Meng Fan cautiously.
Intuition told Xiao Qing that something significant was about to happen.
After some thought, Xiao Qing slithered off the bed and onto a distant table.
A gentleman does not stand under a collapsing wall.
Xiao Qing considered itself a serpent of nobility.
No, it was a Jiao, a hundred times more distinguished than a mere snake.
It was destined to become a dragon!!!
Even if Meng Fan were in danger, it wasn't Luo's place to worry—Elder Lin would certainly intervene.
Elder Lin's inaction was proof enough that Meng Fan was safe.
With that thought, Luo felt much more at ease.
And as Senior Disciple Luo had surmised, Elder Lin, meditating on the second floor of the Sword Pavilion, had also sensed the disturbance.
Opening his eyes, Elder Lin muttered with a hint of helplessness, "Rashness, it's the impatience of youth!"
He not only sensed Meng Fan's breakthrough to the Heavenly Origin Realm and the formation of his Divine Sense but also that Meng Fan was cultivating his personal Law Sword.
Meng Fan's advancement to the Heavenly Origin Realm and the formation of his Divine Sense should have been a joyous occasion.
But the boy had just formed his Divine Sense and was already intent on cultivating his personal Law Sword, without even informing him.
Elder Lin had previously mentioned that once Meng Fan reached the Heavenly Origin Realm, he would consider helping him subdue a Law Sword!
Yet, in his haste, the boy had rushed to refine a Spiritual Sword into his personal Law Sword.
A personal Law Sword, if not unexpectedly, was likely to accompany a sword cultivator for life, making it extremely important!
The boy was too impatient...
However, by the time Elder Lin sensed this scene, Meng Fan had already begun refining the Hong Qi Sword into his personal Law Sword.
Even if Elder Lin wanted to stop it, it was too late!
"Sigh, the folly of youth," Elder Lin sighed helplessly.
But what's done was done, and regret was too late.
Moreover, while a Spiritual Sword as a personal Law Sword was somewhat inferior to a Law Sword, a personal Law Sword could be enhanced and evolved, so it wasn't unacceptable.
Elder Lin shook his head, withdrew his attention from Meng Fan, knowing full well there was no danger to him.
But he was mistaken; Meng Fan was not being impetuous but had deliberated deeply and had no regrets!
In Meng Fan's room, the Hong Qi Sword had ceased its trembling and Sword Song, gradually returning to calm.
Meng Fan's complexion, however, was slightly pale.
The consumption of essence blood and Divine Sense had taken a toll on him.
But it was worth it!
Moments later, Hong Qi's ethereal figure floated out from the Hong Qi Sword and bowed to Meng Fan.
"Master."
