Chapter 186: Condensing a True Dragon Sword; Sun Yuying and the Divine Mother Sword Array.

Out in the Boiling Rock Forest, a tranquil oasis nestled between Spirit Harmony Peak and Blue Steam Mountain, Sun Yuying found herself in a perfect spot for unwinding and cultivating. The steam from the surroundings worked wonders, opening her meridians and allowing her Qi to flow freely. Seated in a lotus position, she awaited the arrival of Mu Lin and Yun Feiyan, but they hadn't shown up yet.

It's as if they just take me for a junior disciple they can freely order around, hmph!

Pulling out a scroll, Sun Yuying spread it before her. "Maybe I should try condensing a supreme dragon sword while I have the chance," she mused to herself.

Unfolding the scroll some more, she studied the celestial illustrations closely. "Golden Serpent Awakening is the first level," she muttered, absorbing the information.

The illustration portrayed a majestic golden serpent, coiled around a celestial pillar.

After a moment of contemplation, she folded her arms decisively. "So, I just need to meditate deeply enough to connect with the golden serpent's gaze," she concluded.

With a determined nod, she sat upright and performed a double-handed mudra, fixing her gaze on the golden serpent on the scroll. Soon, an internal resonance ignited, unleashing the latent potential within her dragon vein Qi. Immediately, she felt a surge of spiritual energy that resonated with the concept of a dragon sword, both spiritually and physically.

I can feel it...

Sun Yuying was already brimming with potent dragon vein Qi, causing her entire body to pulsate with azure energy.

"Alright, now for the second level...!"

She closely studied the celestial illustration.

"Cerulean Blade Refinement is all about condensing dragon vein Qi until it forms a mighty ethereal sword. At its basic level, it's like creating a foundation, but a Cerulean Blade is just the beginning of a truly supreme dragon sword. Chapter Find:

It may sound similar to condensing a dragon sword, but cultivators refine this Qi within, making the Cerulean Blade a vessel for their profound insights, which strengthens its foundation."

"Ah, I think I get it," she nodded to herself.

Sun Yuying couldn't shake off her unease. If she didn't know any better, she'd mistake the woman for an enemy, judging by the way she stared at her with those expressionless eyes. Her mind spun, feeling like something was draining her consciousness. She felt helpless, as if her soul and body were no longer existing. Everything, even the concept of life and death, seemed to fade from her mind.

"I am truly grateful that you have survived to this moment, for the Divine Sword Sect now lives through both you and I," the woman calmly informed Sun Yuying.

As her mind began to recover, Sun Yuying instinctively took a few steps back. Her face was pale, and she was drenched in cold sweat. The fear that had gripped her heart didn't seem to loosen.

The woman bowed her head. "Apologies, it seems your cultivation base is too low, so you can't withstand prolonged exposure to me. However, with some assistance, you should be able to endure for at least three blinks of an eye."

She lowered her cultivation base until it was minuscule.

Although she wasn't in her prime, her current Nascent Soul aura was still intimidating. As the celestial Qi surrounding her dissipated, Sun Yuying could finally see her clearly, although her eyes took a moment to adjust.

Examining the woman closely with newfound clarity, Sun Yuying could sense that she was an ancient being, having lived for millions of years. Even those who could see yet could not perceive, would easily be able to note the profound air of ancientness she had about her.

"Who are you?" Sun Yuying asked again. Her voice carried far more respect than before.

The woman kept her introduction simple.

"I am the Divine Mother Sword Array, a supreme treasure of the once-existing Divine Sword Sect of the Holy Sword Domain."

Sun Yuying felt her knees weaken once more, her vision starting to blur. She realized that the brief moment of clarity was coming to an end, and she hadn't had the chance to ask much of many questions yet. She extended a trembling hand and pleaded, "Please, wait. I still have... so many more questions, I..."

The Divine Mother Sword Array nodded understandingly. "In time, all your questions will be answered," she assured.

With cautious steps, the Divine Mother Sword Array approached the weakened Sun Yuying, who seemed on the verge of collapse. "If my master wishes to fight, I will offer aid. And if she wishes to protect, I will also offer aid, for my master has grasped my true intent and made me in her image. Therefore, I shall protect that image to the best of my power."

Just as she drew near, the beautiful lady dissolved into purple wisps of energy and entered Sun Yuying's body, disappearing from sight.
