When a sword reaches the level of a holy weapon, it can give birth to a sword spirit.
In other words, it is precisely because the sword gave birth to the sword spirit that it can be promoted to a holy weapon.
Shen Yuan's ancient sword is completely black and suspended in mid-air, as if it has life and is absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Eight hundred years ago, Shen Yuan's ancient sword gave birth to a sword spirit. However, after the sword body was cut off, the sword spirit also suffered heavy damage and fell into a dormant state.
It wasn't until the Divine Sword Holy Land repaired Shen Yuan's ancient sword, and the sword body began to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on its own, that the sword spirit finally woke up and regained its weak consciousness.
Under Kong Lanyou's gaze, Zhang Ruochen walked to the side of Shen Yuan's ancient sword, stretched out a hand, and gently touched the ancient sword body with his fingers.
Kong Lanyou's eyes were fixed on Zhang Ruochen and Shen Yuan's ancient sword. He held his breath and couldn't help but squeeze his fingers in his sleeves.
Ever since she reached the realm of a saint, she hasn't had such a nervous moment for a long time.
"Wow!"
Shen Yuan's ancient sword trembled, emitting black brilliance, turning into a light shuttle, flying up, flying around Zhang Ruochen, and finally fell into Zhang Ruochen's hands.
Zhang Ruochen held the hilt of the sword and felt a sense of returning family members in his heart, as if his bloodline was connected with the bloodline of Shen Yuan's ancient sword.
With his fingers tense, Zhang Ruochen immediately twisted his arm and stabbed out with his sword.
"Zheng!"
The long sword pierced the air and let out a joyful sword cry.
The light on the tip of the sword is full of spirituality.
Seeing this scene, Kong Lanyou felt as if he was electrocuted. He immediately rushed to Zhang Ruochen and said, "You are him. Tell me, you are him."
Zhang Ruochen put away his sword, stood up straight again, and said, "Senior, what are you talking about?"
"Don't pretend you don't know me. I know you are Zhang Ruochen, the same person you were eight hundred years ago." Kong Lanyou said.
Zhang Ruochen was still very calm and said: "I'm sorry, I don't know the relationship between senior and the previous owner of this sword. However, I can be sure that I am not the person senior is looking for. I would like to ask this question
, is that person from eight hundred years ago still alive?"
There was a trace of bitterness in Kong Lanyou's eyes. He took a step back, shook his head and said, "He...he is dead. Eight hundred years ago, I saw him die in front of me."
Seeing Kong Lanyou's sad look, Zhang Ruochen also felt extremely sad and said: "In this case, seniors should learn to let go. Eight hundred years have passed, and the dead have already left and turned into a handful of loess.
People should not continue to be immersed in sadness."
Kong Lanyou took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and said, "Step back!"
Zhang Ruochen nodded, took three steps back, then turned around, exited the bamboo forest with Lu Youcai and Nie Honglou, and left the mansion.
Kong Lanyou stood alone in the bamboo forest and said to himself: "Do you think it's him?"
In the void, an old voice sounded, saying: "They are very similar, but they are definitely not the same person. Moreover, he seems to know something about the past and is deliberately hiding something. This person is a bit weird."
Kong Lanyou opened his eyes again, his eyes became cold and sharp, and said: "Since Creation Shengjian can accept him, it means that he must have some relationship with the person back then. What is hidden in him?
Where’s the secret?”
…
…………
Back at Wushi Yiguan, Zhang Ruochen's heart could not calm down for a long time.
"How come Kong Lanyou is connected with the Holy Land of Divine Sword? What level of cultivation has she reached? She said that she saw me die in front of her. Is there any connection between her and Chi Yao? What happened back then,
Does it have anything to do with her?"
Zhang Ruochen was happy to see his eight hundred young relatives, but also very scared.
If so, even Kong Lanyou was his enemy, how sad would that be?
Finally, Zhang Ruochen put away his thoughts, fixed his gaze on Shen Yuan's ancient sword, and said: "Now that it's here, let's make peace with it. As long as I'm strong enough, I will naturally be able to find out the truth in the future."
"Wow!"
Shen Yuan's ancient sword flew up, with the sword tip downward and the hilt upward, floating in front of Zhang Ruochen, spinning slowly.
The inscriptions flowed on the sword body like a spider web.
"One hundred and eight basic inscriptions and eighteen intermediate inscriptions. With the current level of the Shen Yuan Ancient Sword, it should be considered to have initially entered the level of a sacred weapon."
The ancient sword of Shen Yuan can absorb other soldiers and continue to become stronger, just like Queen Chi Yao's blood-dropping sword, which can continue to absorb the blood of living creatures, and eventually grow into an unparalleled sword that makes the monks in the entire Kunlun world crazy.
of trembling.
As long as enough soldiers are refined, Shen Yuan Ancient Sword will definitely grow to the same level as the Blood Sword.
Sacred weapons are divided into three levels: sacred weapons with hundreds of patterns, sacred weapons with thousands of patterns, and sacred weapons with ten thousand patterns.
The so-called Hundred Pattern Sacred Artifacts refer to soldiers with more than a hundred basic inscriptions and more than ten intermediate inscriptions.
The more inscriptions there are, the stronger the power.
Now, Shen Yuan's ancient sword can only be regarded as the lowest grade among the holy weapons.
Of course, if you can reach the level of a holy weapon, even the weakest holy weapon will be extremely powerful.
Zhang Ruochen held the hilt of the sword with both hands, injected his true energy into it, and continuously activated the inscriptions on the sword body.
Gradually, Shen Yuan's ancient sword became heavier and heavier, and its light became more and more powerful.
With Zhang Ruochen's current level of cultivation in the Tianji Realm, he can only activate the seventy-second basic inscriptions on the sword body, which can probably exert 10% of the power of the holy sword.
Only when the inscriptions in the sword are fully activated can the full power of the holy sword be unleashed.
"Standing to the soul."
Zhang Ruochen held the sword in both hands, dragged out a long sword shadow, and slashed it down.
The shadow of a seven-foot-long giant sword appeared above Shen Yuan's ancient sword, fell vertically, and hit the ground. With a bang, the sword energy pierced the ground, leaving a deep sword pit.
"The power of this sword should be close to the full blow of the monk who transformed into a fish-dragon first."
Later, Zhang Ruochen released his martial soul and suspended it above his head. He used the martial soul to control the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and continuously injected the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the sword body.
You must know that Zhang Ruochen's current martial soul strength is comparable to the sixth transformation of fish and dragon, and has reached the ultimate level of his current cultivation.
With his martial spirit mobilized, Zhang Ruochen activated the ninety-nine basic inscriptions in the sword body, and the aura erupted from Shen Yuan's ancient sword became even more powerful.
"Swish!"
Under the influence of Shen Yuan's ancient sword, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth condensed into hundreds of sword-shaped gases, flying around Zhang Ruochen like waves of sword rain.
Zhang Ruochen waved his arm and struck out Shen Yuan's ancient sword.
Immediately, countless sword energy flew out and hit the formation light wall of Wushi Posthouse, sending out ripples like circles of water.
"It seems that with my current level of cultivation, I am still far from being able to exert the true power of Shen Yuan's ancient sword."
Zhang Ruochen sat cross-legged on the ground again, inserted Shen Yuan's ancient sword on the ground, and at the same time took out the Purple Thunder Sword, a tenth-level true weapon.
Shen Yuan's ancient sword automatically flew up and hit the Purple Thunder Sword's blade, making a loud noise and creating a crack on the surface of the Purple Thunder Sword.
"Wow!"
From the tip of Shen Yuan's ancient sword, wisps of black brilliance surged out and spun rapidly, forming a black vortex.
The Purple Thunder Sword split into metal particles, flew into the vortex, and merged into Shen Yuan's ancient sword.
Not long after, the Purple Thunder Sword completely disappeared.
Zhang Ruochen mentioned Shen Yuan's ancient sword again and found that not only had the sword become heavier, but there was also a basic inscription with the "electricity" attribute in the sword.
The total number of basic inscriptions reached one hundred and nine.
"Could it be that every time a soldier is absorbed, an inscription will be added to the Shen Yuan Ancient Sword?"
In order to confirm his conjecture, Zhang Ruochen took out the eleventh-level Zhenwu treasure-level dragon bone spear and used the Shen Yuan Ancient Sword to refine it.
Sure enough, there was another basic inscription in Shen Yuan's ancient sword, bringing the total number to one hundred and ten.
"The Purple Thunder Sword and the Dragon Bone Spear are both priceless weapons, but they only added two basic inscriptions to the Shen Yuan Ancient Sword." Zhang Ruochen sighed.
You know, the Purple Thunder Sword is worth 370,000 spiritual crystals.
The value of the dragon bone spear is even higher, exceeding one million spiritual crystals.
If used to purchase elixirs, it would be enough for large families and sects to train a large number of young disciples.
Now, Shen Yuan Ancient Sword has absorbed them and only added two basic inscriptions.
Continuing the test, Zhang Ruochen let Shen Yuan Ancient Sword absorb ten more true martial arts treasures. Among them, two eighth-level true martial arts treasures and one seventh-level true martial arts treasure. The remaining seven were all below seventh-level true martial arts treasures.
of soldiers.
After Shen Yuan Ancient Sword absorbed ten real weapons, it only added one basic inscription.
After Zhang Ruochen's analysis, he finally made a judgment that Shen Yuan's Ancient Sword could add a basic inscription by absorbing a ninth-level or above true weapon.
As for the true martial arts treasures below the ninth level, ten or even dozens of them need to be absorbed in order to add a basic inscription to the Shen Yuan Ancient Sword.
Of course, after Shen Yuan's Ancient Sword refines the warrior, it not only adds inscriptions, but also absorbs the essence of the warrior, making the sword sharper and harder.
"Now, Shen Yuan's ancient sword is at the level of a hundred-marked holy weapon. I don't know how many soldiers it needs to absorb to grow to the level of a thousand-marked holy weapon?"
Sacred artifacts are very precious. Even some semi-holy families only own one or two hundred-pattern sacred artifacts, which are already the family's treasures.
Only those saints with profound knowledge can possess Thousand Patterns Sacred Artifacts.
In the next two days, Zhang Ruochen spent 60 million spiritual crystals to buy one hundred tenth-level true martial arts treasures at the store in Wushi Qianzhuang.
What Zhang Ruochen is most indispensable for now is spiritual crystals. Even if he buys a hundred pieces of tenth-level true martial arts treasures, he still has 300 million spiritual crystals.
The combined wealth of the spiritual crystals and various treasures he currently possesses is even comparable to the total wealth accumulated by a semi-holy family over hundreds of years.
As long as the power of Shen Yuan's ancient sword can be improved, no matter how much spiritual crystals are spent, it is worth it.
