Chapter 50: 46 Chapter The Three Great Forces of the Flying Sword

Just as Ye Chen stood up, the sword-shaped seed, a deep blue like water, floating before Jiang Yao's snow-white forehead suddenly shot towards the center of her brow.

A faint pattern of enchantments rippled on the spot between Jiang Yao's eyebrows, and the entire "Ghostly Water Flying Sword" merged into Jiang Yao's Sword Palace Acupoint.

The Ghostly Water Flying Sword, likewise, had successfully acknowledged its master!

Jiang Yao slowly closed her beautiful eyes, quietly sensing the "Ghostly Water Flying Sword" that had just accepted her as its master, and after a long time, she then opened her eyes.

When she opened her eyes, a shallow smile appeared on her delicate little face, and her small dimples were irresistibly enticing.

"Ye Chen."

Jiang Yao turned her head to look at Ye Chen and saw his smiling gaze directed at her.

From Ye Chen's look, she knew that, just like her, he also had succeeded in having a flying sword acknowledge him as master.

"Congratulations to you both!"

At that moment, Qian Jizi's voice came over, his tone also contained a trace of joy.

Ye Chen and Jiang Yao had obtained the Flying Sword Heritage, and Qian Jizi was genuinely happy for them!

"Elder Qian Jizi!"

Both Ye Chen and Jiang Yao stood up and walked towards Qian Jizi, bowing deeply to him.

The "Crimson Fire" and "Ghostly Water" flying swords were originally obtained by Qian Jizi and Lian Yue in the Sea God Palace; these swords were imbued with their hard work and, to a certain extent, Lian Yue's injury was even related to these swords!

That Ye Chen and Jiang Yao had become the masters of this pair of flying swords, of course, they were extremely grateful to Qian Jizi and Lian Yue.

"Elder, who is the person you mentioned earlier who betrayed and fled?"

"Now that Jiang Yao and I have successfully made the flying swords recognize us as masters, we will certainly fulfill that requirement!"

Ye Chen said to Qian Jizi.

Previously, Qian Jizi had mentioned that the person who obtained the Flying Sword Heritage must capture the one who severely injured Lian Yue and then fled, and bring them back to the Thousand Lotus Cave Abode when they could; Ye Chen had already agreed to this.

This promise had never been forgotten by Ye Chen, and now he brought it up again.

"Yes, please inform us about that person, elder," Jiang Yao also looked towards Qian Jizi.

Qian Jizi had not spoken before because Ye Chen and Jiang Yao had not yet made the flying swords accept them as masters, but now that the two were the masters of the twin "Crimson Fire" and "Ghostly Water" flying swords, he no longer hesitated.

"That person who fled is called 'Heavenly Saint Tuoshan'!"

With a gesture from Qian Jizi's hand, a figure appeared within the void.

"The 'Flying Sword Heritage' of the Thousand Lotus Cave Abode already has an inheritor. Before you leave, I will tell you a few more things about flying swords, which you must remember."

"A flying sword is a treasured companion of a Sword Cultivator, which needs continuous nurturing to become more and more powerful."

"The quality of a flying sword itself determines the final tier of the flying sword once it is fully cultivated. The pair of flying swords you've assimilated into the Sword Palace Acupoint are of 'Sacred Artifact' grade; that is to say, once you've fully cultivated them, this pair of flying swords can become true Sacred Artifacts!"

"A Sacred Artifact is sufficient for you to use all the way to the Heavenly Saint Realm, just like this Thousand Lotus Cave Abode of mine, which is a spatial Sacred Artifact."

"To nurture a flying sword, you need Sword Qi Spirit Liquid. The Sword Qi Spirit Liquid you extracted from the Lotus Sword Pool comes from the Tai'a Sword Sect, the great sword faction that Lian Yue and I once joined. It contains 'Tai'a Sword Qi', a tremendously powerful form of Innate Sword Qi."

"The Sword Qi Spirit Liquid should be enough for you to nurture the flying swords you've assimilated. Of course, if you can find other types of Innate Sword Qi in the future, you can assimilate it into the Sword Palace Acupoint to continue nurturing your flying swords."

"Lastly, I will tell you about the three major combat capabilities of a flying sword."

Upon saying this, Qian Jizi's expression turned serious.

Ye Chen and Jiang Yao, who had been listening attentively, sensed the gravity in Qian Jizi's tone and grew even more focused, realizing that what was to follow was extremely important for them as the owners of flying swords.

"A so-called flying sword, hidden within the Sword Palace Acupoint, serves as a kind of secret technique, a powerful concealed method!"

"Therefore, this secret should not be used frequently; reserve it for critical moments."

"The three major combat capabilities of a flying sword are its 'Normal State', 'Life-bound Flying Sword Breakage', and 'Flying Sword Self-Destruction'!"

"Under its Normal State, the flying sword can aid you in regular combat."

"Life-bound Flying Sword Breakage involves sacrificing the flying sword's own quality to boost combat power suddenly. For example, Ye Chen is now at the True Qi Realm, but if he uses the 'Crimson Fire Life-bound Flying Sword Breakage', he can be a match for a Spirit Sea Realm expert.

However, Life-bound Flying Sword Breakage must not be used lightly because once employed, the flying sword will fall into a deep slumber until it repairs itself, after which it can be used again."

"If Ye Chen were to use Crimson Fire's breakage against a late-stage Spirit Sea Realm individual, the flying sword would need at least a thousand years to recover. Even if used against a mid-stage Spirit Sea Realm person, the sword would have to sleep for at least a century!"

"Therefore, the combat power of Life-bound Flying Sword Breakage should not be deployed casually!"

When Qian Jizi talked about Ye Chen being able to match Spirit Sea Realm experts with Life-bound Flying Sword Breakage, a flicker of sharp light appeared in Ye Chen's eyes, but neither Qian Jizi nor Jiang Yao, deeply engrossed in their discussion, noticed his expression.

"Lastly, we come to Flying Sword Self-Destruction," he said, his voice growing heavy.

"Flying Sword Self-Destruction is an utter unleashing of the flying sword's life-bound quality, releasing all its power at once! Under such circumstances, it can even exhibit the strongest state of a mature life-bound flying sword!"

"But this should only be used in a life-and-death situation and not otherwise, because once a flying sword self-destructs, you, deeply connected with the sword in spirit, will also suffer a severe blow. At that point, not only will the flying sword be destroyed, but your Sword Palace Acupoint will also be completely shattered!"

"Back when Lian Yue and I encountered betrayal and an attempt on our lives by Tuoshan and the others, Lian Yue's flying sword self-destructed in the end. Although it killed two of them and gravely wounded another, from that moment on, Lian Yue fell into a deep unconsciousness."

"You must remember that while 'Life-bound Flying Sword Breakage' can be used once or twice, 'Flying Sword Self-Destruction' must absolutely not be used unless it is a matter of life or death!"

Qian Jizi looked at Ye Chen and Jiang Yao earnestly as he spoke.
