Fairyland Sunshine

Chapter 154: Thinking about Refining the Sword

When Master Xuanxin saw Xu Heng's expression, he knew that he had made up his mind and couldn't help but smile slightly.

This was indeed the case. In almost an instant, Xu Heng made up his mind to go to the Eye of the East China Sea to compete for the essence of the five elements.

With his cultivation and foundation, if he wants to cultivate the golden elixir in the future, the amount of innate five elements essence he will need will certainly not be a small number.

Moreover, Xu Heng knew that, regardless of the style of Tianchi Mountain or the temperament of Master Qiao, it was impossible for them to prepare all the things for cultivation for him.
He is definitely not the kind of person who waits for benefits to fall from the sky, or waits until the boat reaches the bridge before being unprepared.

As early as when he was in Taiguang Immortal Palace, Xu Heng had already figured it out -

fight!
Ultimately, it's just this one word.

Of course, if you want to fight, you can't do it blindly and recklessly. Xu Heng calmed down and asked Xuan Xin Zhenren: "When will the Immortal Palace of the Supreme Palace be born? Does Master know?"

"I don't know." Xuan Xin Zhenren denied it, but seeing that Xu Heng was not anxious and was still listening carefully, he nodded secretly and continued, "Since the first time the shadow of the palace appeared in the sea eye more than ten years ago, some people have speculated that this fairy palace will appear."

"But till now, although there are more and more shadows of the palace, it has never really appeared in the world."

"Oh?" Xu Heng pondered, "If there really is a day for him to be born, there must be some signs..."

"Haha." Xuan Xin Zhenren smiled slightly, and without further ado, he said, "According to the records of the ancients, the Supreme Palace surrounds the void and absorbs the essence of the five elements. There are a total of 7749 immortal palaces."

“Therefore, many people predict that when the number of the Immortal Palace is fully revealed, it will be the day of his birth.”

"However, the number of palace shadows has increased without any trace. Sometimes they appear one after another day, and sometimes not a single one appears in a year. So far, only forty-five have appeared."

"I see." Xu Heng said, "So, the day of the Immortal Palace's birth seems to be near, but in fact it is still uncertain."

"That's right." Xuan Xin Zhenren said, "But after more than ten years, forty-five have appeared one after another. There are many people who are impatient or even have time to spare. I'm afraid the East China Sea Eye is very busy now."

"Oh?" Xu Heng said, "Yes, this is to be expected."

Master Xuanxin was a little surprised. She had long seen that Xu Heng had always wanted to compete, but she didn't expect that even after talking to this point, he didn't show any sign of anxiety.

What surprised Master Xuanxin even more was that Xu Heng pondered for a moment, then stood up and said, "In that case, I still have some homework to sort out, so I won't bother you anymore."

After saying this, he bowed to her and left.

When Master Xuanxin saw his back as he walked out of the courtyard, a smile appeared on his face, but it quickly faded away. He seemed to say something to himself softly, but it was unclear.

……

-

The sun and the moon pass through the sky, and a hundred days pass by.

Xu Heng sat cross-legged. Even though he was next to a waterfall, with the roar of water and the gurgling of springs, and the continuous and noisy sounds surrounding him, he remained unmoved, and his mind remained clear.

In his heart, there was only a flash of lightning that kept flashing over and over again, and gradually it seemed as if a sharp sword intent was sprouting, growing, and accumulating from deep within his body... until it exploded!
"Go!"

Xu Heng opened his eyes, suddenly raised his finger and a sword light flew out!

Boom! A loud roar like rolling thunder burst out at the same time, suppressing the sound of the waterfall for a while, and then it returned to silence at the same time -

Xu Heng's sword actually cut off the momentum of the waterfall. After several breaths, the water began to flow again and the waterfall flow gradually returned to normal.

"Huh..." Xu Heng let out a long breath, but the thoughtful look in his eyes was still there.

During these hundred days, in addition to practicing magic, he has been trying to imitate Kong Nanqiu's sword-drawing method, hoping to figure out the peerless sword technique of "Sword Qi Thunder Sound".

However, although it cannot be said to be a stunning glimpse, he was just a spectator of a fight. It is impossible for Xu Heng to fully understand Kong Nanqiu's swordsmanship.

But there was a comparison shadow that undoubtedly helped him see the direction clearly in the fog.

Through countless attempts, Xu Heng gradually figured out a way to maximize the speed and killing power of the sword. Although it was limited to just one move of drawing the sword, it could be considered as a process from nothing to something.

Unfortunately, there is still a long way to go before one can perfect the 'Sword Qi and Thunder Sound'.

"You can draw your sword even faster and more fiercely! But this requires more than just long hours of training."

Xu Heng thought: "With stronger magic power, it will naturally give greater blessing to swordsmanship. In this regard, I have a lot of room for improvement..."

Xu Heng is still in the stage of refining his physical body, gaining feedback from the three treasures, and increasing his magic power. He may reach a new limit within a year.

By then, Xu Heng's magical power would probably be unmatched by ordinary cultivators who practiced the art of refining the inner energy, not to mention that he had never formally practiced the inner energy.

Xu Heng believed that the magic power was not the obstacle for him to cultivate the sword energy and thunder sound, so what other factors were there?
"...A flying sword?" Xu Heng frowned slightly, raised his hand to recall the Transparent Shadow Sword, and wiped the sword's spine with two fingers. The dark color in his eyes deepened.

The quality of the Shadow-Transmitting Sword was indeed not up to par with his progress. What was even more fatal was that the sword had already suffered some damage from fighting against Master Yin Zi's White Bone Flying Sword and Kong Nanqiu's Thunder Sound Sword Qi. Although it was not fatal now, if it continued like this...

It is only a matter of time before it collapses or even gets cut off.

Humans are not plants or trees. This sword has been with Xu Heng for quite some time, but he doesn't want to see this.

Moreover, the restrictions on the Shadow-Transmitting Sword were mediocre, with only ordinary changes in hardness and softness, and its texture did not support continued refinement.

Rather than destroying the sword, putting it away might be a better outcome. One day, I can hold it in my hands and reminisce about it...

Xu Heng sighed softly and had already thought about changing swords.

And almost at this moment, Xu Heng remembered the rainbow light that broke through the Taiguang Immortal Palace and left——

Xuanhong Sword! This is the masterpiece of Xuanwei Patriarch's Taoism. Before it showed any sharpness after its birth, it was ranked seventh among the ten great flying swords compiled by Shuijing Zhenren.

There is no doubt that Xuanhong is not only a better flying sword, but also the best flying sword in the world!

However, with Xu Heng's current swordsmanship, he could not control such a magical sword. Moreover, from what he sensed, the direction where Xuanhong was was not an ordinary place...

Xu Heng had long thought that if one day he succeeded in cultivating the golden elixir, he would try to get Xuan Hong back. As for now, it was far from the time to be impatient.

However, apart from the Xuanhong Sword, where else can Xu Heng find a better flying sword?
Xu Heng was in deep thought, and suddenly an idea came to his mind.

Why not refine a flying sword yourself that perfectly suits your swordsmanship?
