Mortal Cultivator: Lin Tianzun

Chapter 91: The sword emerges like a dragon, showing extraordinary power, the heart is filled with shock and admiration for the magic weapon

Lin Fan's eyes flickered with uncontrollable excitement, a burning desire for his newly refined natal magic weapon—the Seven Star Sword. This anticipation surged like a surging tide, instantly engulfing him completely, leaving him unable to suppress his inner excitement. His lips parted slightly, then he suddenly opened his mouth and exhaled forcefully. In an instant, a mighty torrent of spiritual energy, accompanied by seven dazzling rays of light, erupted like a tsunami.

The seven blades were slender and straight, each one seemingly meticulously forged from pure gold. Their smooth lines vividly displayed their razor-sharp edge. Golden runes, like living creatures, slowly flowed and swirled along their spines, emitting a dazzling brilliance.

A closer look reveals that each flying sword's hilt is engraved with a unique name: Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang, and Yaoguang—all taken from the mysterious Big Dipper constellations in the vast universe. The spaces between the strokes of these names seem to contain boundless power from the vast universe, and as spiritual energy continuously surges, they radiate a mysterious light like the deep starry sky.

Lin Fan took a deep breath, and the spiritual energy around him surged like boiling river water. His hands moved in front of him with incredible speed, forming sword gestures. His fingertips evoked faint traces of spiritual energy, and the fluctuations in the air intensified, as if a storm was brewing. As if receiving silent instructions from the depths of Lin Fan's soul, the seven flying swords instantly formed themselves into the precise positions of the Big Dipper with dazzling speed.

The formation was like a perfect miniature of the unreachable, mysterious, and majestic Big Dipper in the vast universe, captured within this tiny expanse of heaven and earth. Faint threads of spiritual energy connected the seven swords, shimmering with a mysterious glow, imbuing the entire sword formation with majesty and solemnity, as if declaring its inviolable sacredness to all creation.

Then, the flying swords began to spin slowly, initially at a relatively slow speed, but in the blink of an eye, they spun faster and faster like an arrow shot from a bow. They drove the surrounding air, emitting a sharp, piercing whistling sound, like a sharp blade slicing through the air, causing a dull pain in the eardrums.

From each flying sword, there burst out a sharp and intimidating sword light, flashing with cold light, just like a meteor passing quickly across the night sky, but with a bit more chilling murderous aura than a meteor, as if it could ruthlessly tear apart everything in front of it, and even the seemingly solid void seemed to be cracked by the extremely sharp sword light.

In the blink of an eye, sword lights intertwined and multiplied, creating a breathtaking, dreamlike spectacle. The original seven flying swords, in a manner beyond imagination, multiplied, then multiplied, becoming forty-nine. In an instant, forty-nine swords hovered in the air in a staggered pattern. Each sword emanated a surge of spiritual energy, echoing and interweaving with each other, forming the astonishingly powerful Seven Star Sword Formation.

As the sword formation formed, the entire space seemed enveloped by an invisible yet immensely powerful force. Countless sword beams crisscrossed the air like razor-sharp blades, slicing and piercing through the air, weaving an impenetrable sword net.

In the sword net, seventy-seven and forty-nine flying swords were dancing nimbly, their trajectories changing unpredictably. Sometimes they were as swift as a violent storm, rushing towards the target with overwhelming momentum; sometimes they were as cunning as winding and agile snakes, moving and circling flexibly in the void, making it impossible to predict their next movement.

The speed of these flying swords was extremely fast, leaving only a series of blurred light and shadows, which made people dazzled. It was as if they were in a fantasy feast of light and shadow, but there were deadly dangers hidden everywhere.

However, within the brief interval of a few breaths, Lin Fan clearly felt the mana within him surge like a raging flood, unchecked and flowing away. In that short period of time, nearly half of his mana had been depleted. Lin Fan immediately used a hand gesture to stop the sword formation and then, with his mouth, retracted the flying swords one by one into his dantian.

At the same time, his face paled visibly, his lips also turning slightly pale. It was as if an invisible hand had drained all his energy and spirit from him. His body was unstable and began to stagger. "This consumption is outrageous!" Lin Fan was shocked. This magic weapon consumed mana at such a terrifying rate! Lin Fan gasped for breath, his chest heaving violently, his voice filled with exhaustion and shock as he muttered to himself.

He thought to himself, this must be a top-tier magical weapon, otherwise it would be impossible to cause such a horrific consumption of mana. After all, with his immensely deep foundation and mana reserves far exceeding those of ordinary Jindan-stage cultivators, he couldn't even withstand the operation of this magical weapon for just a few breaths. It was truly unbelievable.

Lin Fan found a stone bench and sat down. His breathing gradually calmed down, but his heart was filled with turmoil. This Seven Star Sword had been forged using over a dozen top-grade materials, each of which was a rare treasure in the cultivation world, worth a fortune.

If any one of these materials is used and refined by an ordinary weapon refiner, a top-grade magic weapon can be made; if it is handed over to a weapon refiner, it is not difficult to refine a top-level magic weapon.

With so many top-tier materials now gathered together, it would be incredible if they didn't ultimately produce a top-tier magical weapon. Lin Fan even secretly speculated that if a perfect combination of luck and factors coincided during the refining process, he wouldn't be surprised if a magical treasure was produced.

After all, in this world of cultivation full of opportunities and miracles, everything is possible, and the combination of these top-level materials provides a foundation of infinite possibilities for the birth of spiritual treasures.

A few days later, Lin Fan sat cross-legged in his cave, his aura steady and his nearly depleted mana fully restored. He slowly opened his eyes, a flicker of determination and anticipation in them as he prepared to embark on a crucial training exercise—transforming all of his mana into the unique Sword Energy of a sword cultivator.

Lin Fan recalled the immortal cultivation novels he had read in his previous life. In those fictional stories, sword cultivators possessing sword energy were considered to be heaven-defying beings. Their strength had long since transcended the constraints of ordinary realms and could not be measured by simple realm levels.

In the novel's setting, Sword Energy represents the ultimate manifestation of a sword cultivator's power. Entering this realm is like opening a gateway to transcendence. If a sword cultivator not only cultivates Sword Energy but also comprehends Sword Intent, their power is even greater. Those who comprehend Sword Intent resonate with the laws of the sword path, resonating with the laws of nature. The sword in their hands seems to possess a soul, and sword energy surges through their every gesture. For such a sword cultivator, defeating powerful foes by leaping several levels is no mere fantasy.

Take a cultivator in the late Jindan stage, for example. Possessing a top-grade flying sword already gives them a significant advantage over their peers. Furthermore, comprehending the sword's essence is like possessing the key to breaking through the barriers between realms. With a profound understanding of the sword's way and the sharpness of their divine weapon, they can bridge the vast realm gap and defeat a Yuanying cultivator, making it possible.

In the world of immortal cultivators, these transcendental battles are often the most breathtaking. They represent an individual's challenge to their limits, a struggle against fate, captivating countless readers. Now, Lin Fan is about to embark on the path of refining his sword energy. He anticipates creating his own miracles on this uncharted path, writing his own legendary chapter like the protagonists in those novels.
