Born with immortal seed

Chapter 338 Thunder Sound Sword

As the lightning dissipated, besides a large number of fragments of lightning crystals falling from the point of impact, a ball of purple light floated in mid-air.

Bai Zichen reached out and summoned a beam of blue light, which obediently landed in his hand, forming a three-foot-long flying sword.

The bamboo is deep purple with mottled lightning marks, and its texture feels like rough lava.

Because it was personally crafted, even without being refined, there was a sense of connection between them, as if they were an extension of each other's arms.

"This is the first Tier 3 flying sword I've ever made. With such a good start, why worry about not having a steady stream of Tier 3 flying swords in the future..."

Back in the day, every Core Formation cultivator in the main lineage of the Fish-Dragon Sect possessed a Thunder Sound Sword.

What Bai Zichen wants to do is to have a dozen Thunder Sound Swords for each person, and those who are wealthy can use the Thunder Sound Swords to set up a Star River Sword Formation.

He was taken aback when he gently swung the Thunder Sound Sword, only to find that there was no thunderous sound accompanying it.

"Even the Sound Bamboo Sword emits a jade-like sound when used, which has become a major feature. The Thunder Bamboo Sword, however, does not... It requires full power to unleash the heavenly thunder power contained within the bamboo, the Nine Heavens Thunder Sound, which has the ability to ward off evil spirits, suppress malevolent forces, and refine demonic energy."

The birth of Thunder Bamboo requires being struck by lightning, which imbues the bamboo with the most yang and powerful lightning energy.

At the final stage of forging the sword, it was tempered by thunder and fire, and only with this double blessing did the Thunder Sound Sword acquire its evil-repelling and demon-quelling supernatural powers.

However, after each outbreak, the Thunder Sound Sword needs at least three to five years to reassemble the thunderous power between heaven and earth.

In this process, it became an ordinary third-tier bamboo flying sword with no special features.

The fifth third-tier flying sword fell into his pocket, and after Bai Zichen quickly refined it, he also gave it a place in the Supreme Pure Micro Sword Box.

"According to the records of the Fish-Dragon Sect, the Thunder Sound Sword is made of spirit bamboo, so it is not as hard as a metal flying sword... When flying swords of the same level clash, they are easy to get nicks and scratches. However, both the sword-nurturing technique and the pure energy in the sword box are excellent for repairing flying swords. Even if a wooden flying sword is cut in two, it doesn't matter."

Unless he encounters a demonic cultivator he needs to restrain, the Thunder Sound Sword in Bai Zichen's hands is only used for setting up formations; he would never take it out for combat or sword fighting on ordinary days.

Therefore, the weakness of the flying sword itself can be basically ignored.

Even after successfully forging the sword, and with a second Enlightenment Bodhi and several Thunder Sound Bamboo plants in hand, he still restrained the urge to continue forging the sword.

The success rate of advancing from three to one is perfectly acceptable in regular sword training.

However, with the blessing of the Enlightened Bodhi, the weapon-refining skills he displayed far exceeded his original level.

With only a 30% success rate when cheating based on intuition, it seems too low.

The bamboo forest is on the right track. Every few years, a Sacred Sound Bamboo will withstand being struck by lightning and burst forth with vitality from its near-death state, mutating into Thunder Sound Bamboo.

However, if the success rate of sword forging is too low and too much Thunder Sound Bamboo is wasted, it will greatly delay the time to collect all twelve flying swords.

Sharpening the axe won't delay the work of chopping wood; he was prepared to thoroughly study and understand the experience gained from this successful sword-forging.

Even if you can't reach the third-tier top-grade weapon refining level, you should at least be a genuine third-tier top-grade sword refiner.

"Unfortunately, the current environment does not allow me to leave Black Mountain. Too many people are watching me... Otherwise, I could go to Beiyuan and exchange sword-forging experiences with the fellow Daoists of Tianhe Sword Sect, which should be very rewarding."

The sword-forging skills of the Tianhe Sword Sect are unparalleled in the Northern Region.

Even compared to the sword-cultivating sects in the Central Region, each has its own strengths and weaknesses, and it's hard to say which one is significantly stronger.

Even if your Five Phoenix Sword Sect is the most prominent sword cultivator sect in the current cultivation world, and has produced a Nascent Soul cultivator, it still doesn't have the ability to directly forge a fourth-order flying sword.

Everyone's maximum sword-forging ability is at the third-tier flying sword level; the only difference lies in the number of sword-forging secrets they have mastered and their success rate in forging swords.

When Bai Zichen obtained the Moon Jade Sword, he made a vow that he would definitely save the Heavenly River Sword Sect three times in his lifetime should it be in trouble.

However, judging from the current situation, the Tianhe Sword Sect has two Nascent Soul cultivators in charge, each with a fourth-tier flying sword, making them a powerful force in their region.

There was absolutely no indication that he wanted to ask for his help; Yuexuan Sword was definitely going to take advantage of the situation.

However, given this agreement, and the fact that both Tang Fei and Yan Yuanzai believed that Bai Zichen's swordsmanship talent was unparalleled throughout history, reaching a level where even a fourth-order flying sword would find it difficult to resist and would actively seek refuge with him.

Even if Bai Zichen refuses to switch allegiance to the Tianhe Sword Sect, he's practically one of their own, and they wish they could keep him firmly tied to the Sword Sect's ship.

He will surely be granted permission to visit and seek an exchange of sword-making techniques.

Yan Yuanzai, who had only recently reached the Nascent Soul stage, might even take the initiative to teach him the secrets of sword cultivators breaking through the core and reaching the Nascent Soul stage.

After all, Bai Zichen's miraculous feat of slaying a Nascent Soul cultivator with his sword further proved their foresight that day.

This completely shattered the claim that the Tianhe Sword Sect had suffered a silent loss and had no choice but to hand over their fourth-tier flying swords, and that they had only praised an unknown junior from Liang Kingdom to the skies to save face.

……

A female Taoist priest with a clean-cut face and fair complexion waited in the side hall of Tianlei Cliff.

After the meeting in the main hall concluded and everyone dispersed, he was invited inside.

"Senior Sister Chen, I'm so sorry, I've been quite busy today. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Huo Feiyan was actually not good at mundane affairs, but her two senior brothers, one became the acting sect leader and the other had reached the late Foundation Establishment stage at a young age. They were recognized as the disciples who most resembled their master and the top-ranked Core Formation seed in the sect.

She was all alone, and without any special skills, she could only take on the mundane tasks at Thunder Cliff.

Otherwise, her disciple would be too useless and would not have any value.

"Junior Sister Huo, you're too kind. I'm used to a leisurely life, and I don't have much to do at Benshan, so I came ahead of time."

Despite her much greater seniority, Chen Wei had no airs of a senior sister at all; she spoke gently and was very polite.

On one hand, Chen Wei is a gentle person who doesn't compete or fight for anything. On the other hand, both of them are in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, but in terms of background, she is far inferior to Huo Feiyan, the third disciple of Bai Laozu. Their status in Qingfeng Sect is actually not on the same level.

She didn't feel any psychological distress about it.

It's already quite fortunate that I've come this far from being an ordinary outer disciple.

With her aptitude, if she hadn't received a special inheritance at the Five Sacred Mountains Temple and been valued by Ancestor Ge Cang, she probably wouldn't have had any hope of overcoming the Foundation Establishment bottleneck.

However, her lightning strike body had no special properties and offered no help in cultivation, making her just like an ordinary cultivator.

After reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, Chen Wei began refining the Acquired Thunder God Pearl.

Logically speaking, only a Core Formation cultivator could refine this magic weapon, but due to the special nature of the Thunderclap Body, she was able to begin refining and nurturing it ahead of time.

After the Thunder God Pearl was refined, it remained motionless in her dantian, and even her mid-Foundation Establishment cultivation level couldn't activate it.

If Chen Wei reaches the point of Core Formation, this acquired Thunder God Pearl will automatically be upgraded into her natal magic weapon.

Decades ago, before refining the Heavenly Thunder God Pearl, Ancestor Ge Cang summoned her over and carefully observed her.

Having been summoned by Old Ancestor Bai again today, I already have a pretty good idea of ​​what's going on.

'Wow, that's fast! Old Ancestor Bai is already starting to consider refining the Acquired Thunder God Pearl to resist the Heavenly Tribulation...'

Huo Feiyan chatted with Chen Wei for almost half an hour, but they ran out of topics and started talking about the Lan family in the sect, which was in chaos because two Foundation Establishment cultivators had passed away in succession and they were fighting over their inheritance.

Finally, a chubby bear-like beast ran into the main hall, arrogantly jumped onto the table, and began to feast on the dried fruit dish on it.

"Senior Sister Chen, let's go over there. Master should have finished his meditation and breathing exercises."

Huo Feiyan led Chen Wei into the White Ancestor's cave, and they followed the jade bridge through a misty path before stopping outside the thatched hut to pay their respects.

"Master, I have brought Senior Sister Chen here."

"Chen Wei, do you know why I summoned you here?"

Bai Zichen opened his closed eyes, and a crimson light flashed, like a lightning blade.

"This disciple understands that it is an honor for this disciple that my humble abilities can benefit the Ancestor's Nascent Soul cultivation."

Chen Wei raised her head, reached out and tapped her body repeatedly, gathering all her magical power, and slowly spat out a precious pearl from her mouth.

The Thunder God Pearl had been rooted in her dantian for decades, and due to her Thunder Body, it had long since become an integral part of her.

At this moment, after being removed from the body, the patient experienced excruciating chest pain, a deathly pale complexion, and large beads of sweat rolling down their forehead.

Chen Wei bit her lip, suppressing the pain with great willpower, and tried to distract herself by thinking about other things.

"So this is the Divine Lightning Pearl of the Day After Tomorrow. It looks like an inconspicuous pearl, but it can actually absorb heavenly lightning..."

Bai Zichen murmured to himself, his divine sense having thoroughly explored the pearl from the inside out.

The method for refining the Heavenly Thunder God Pearl was clearly displayed on the third floor of the Transmission Hall, and he had already had it retrieved.

The reason for having Chen Wei come was to see what the truly refined divine pearl looked like, so as to avoid any deviations during the refining process.

As someone with a lightning-struck constitution, and having directly received the weapon-refining instructions from the inheritance stone tablet, Chen Wei's crafted magical artifacts are naturally the most authentic and flawless.
Besides preparing for the Heavenly Tribulation, Bai Zichen suddenly put the Day After Tomorrow Thunder God Pearl on his top priority because he discovered that this treasure seemed to be of great help in sword forging.

The biggest drawback in forging the Thunder Sound Sword is that the intensity of the heavenly lightning cannot be controlled, making it entirely up to fate whether the Thunder Sound Sword can withstand the tempering of thunder and fire.

The greatest function of the Heavenly Thunder God Pearl is to absorb heavenly lightning and reduce the power of the heavenly tribulation.

When forging the sword, wouldn't it be perfect to use the Heavenly Thunder God Pearl?

If the heavenly lightning is too strong, he will absorb a wisp of it, which will not only help him refine the sword, but also allow him to familiarize himself with the use of the acquired lightning-falling divine pearl in advance, so that he can use it with ease when he undergoes his tribulation.

He carefully examined the thunder bead in front of Chen Wei for a long time. The few ancient characters on it left a deep impression on him and brought a strong impact.

"It seems to represent the thunder god and heavenly punishment from the Flower and Bird Talisman, which, through simplification and decomposition, incorporates the acquired Thunder God Pearl..."

Since obtaining the complete translation of the Flower and Bird Records, Bai Zichen has been able to distinguish the meanings of most common Flower and Bird Records.

After thoroughly studying it, he waved for Chen Wei to take the pearl back, closed his eyes and pondered for a while, comparing it with the Acquired Thunder God Pearl from the weapon-refining inheritance.

Opening his eyes, he saw the weak Chen Wei being supported by Huo Feiyan. He rummaged through his storage bag, found a bamboo sword he had made for practice, and pushed it over.

"You've worked hard, go back and get some rest."

Over the years, Bai Zichen has bestowed nearly twenty Sound Bamboo Swords, making this sword the most popular flying sword among Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Qingfeng Sect.

All Foundation Establishment cultivators consider it an honor to possess a Sound Bamboo Sword.
