Forge your destiny into a sword, slash your soul and ascend to immortality

Chapter 74 Whale Cream
What Yang Jia called herding, as you can see before your eyes, is to suppress the eighth-grade [Green-winged] sea monster and give it to the Yin Ghost as bait in order to cultivate a seventh-grade Yin Corpse.

All you need to do is pay with an eighth-grade creature that has been blessed by a Yin Ghost, and you can harvest two extremely precious seventh-grade treasures from it. This is an unimaginably cost-effective deal.

Why is there no sign of an eighth-grade sea monster on this vast ocean?
This is because all the eighth-grade sirens have fallen under his control.

The high-level siren group headed by Yang Jia treated their own descendants as living resources, harvesting them one after another to support their own practice.

In order to maximize the harvest, the sea people even cooperated with the human race.

The seventh-grade Yin corpses that they cannot eat will be handed over to the human race to deal with, and the resources will be shared with them.

This big herding at the end of every Yin year is a feast of heaven and sea that is anticipated by humans and sirens alike in the entire Hunzhou Sea.

But this year the situation is very different!
The sea tribe brought double the number of eighth-grade [Green Wings].

However, these seventh-grade monsters all withdrew and did not make any effort to harvest the Yin corpses.

Although according to the agreement between the two parties, even if the human race hunts the Yin corpse, they need to share the profits with the sea clan.

But these big monsters gave up a terrifying amount of profit after all.

However, this part of the profit is not easy to get.

In this Yin Year, the human race lost two [Life Islands], [Shedizang Island] and [Jiangzhu Island] one after another. Although [Qizhishi Island] was replaced by the new [Chanming Island] and did not collapse, it was also seriously damaged.

The entire human race fell into an absolute low point.

But the number of enemies faced has doubled.

Even though the government mobilized all the islands in time, it was the first time that such a large-scale coalition was formed.

But we are still facing tremendous pressure.

Not long after, Crayfish and Big Star also arrived one after another.

Both monsters dragged over fifteen eighth-grade sirens.

The number of seventh-grade Yin corpses at the scene officially exceeded that of the human fleet.

The war situation is becoming increasingly severe.

Even though this seventh-grade Yin corpse that was holding on was lacking in magical powers and spells, it was considered the weakest among all seventh-grade creatures.

But his physical strength is still unmatched.

When dozens of seventh-grade Yin corpses appeared at the same time, the aura of a huge demon, like a dark cloud covering the sky, cast a heavy shadow over the hearts of the human coalition forces.

And there are still powerful monsters on the way, and the intensity of the battle is still rising.

……

Inside the [virtual world], Jing Qian stretched and woke up from his deep meditation.

This was undoubtedly a successful practice, and Jing Qian could already deeply feel the changes in himself.

He looked inwards into his sea of ​​consciousness and saw a small jade sword box hidden inside, and the fate of [Qing Ping Mo] was tightly contained in the sword box.

He scanned the sword box with his [Worldly Solution], and the information on it came into his sight:

[Inspiration: Qingping Sword Box]

[Requirements for suppression: the appearance of spiritual treasures, the appearance of gods and ghosts]

【Life span burden: two hours/day】

Unlike the [Qili Divine Seal] that was swallowed by the [Void Furnace], this [Qingping Sword Box] is truly integrated into Jing Qian's cultivation system and is the [Spiritual Inspiration] controlled by him.

He used the secret method of [Chun Yang Ruins] to cast the sword case, gained [inspiration], and successfully completed [inspiration casting destiny].

Even though he had never been to the sacrificial ground, he had already become the Pure Yang [Lingjizi] that the Taoist Shangxi had been longing for.

Having obtained this valuable new treasure, Jing Qian devoted himself to exploring the miraculous effects of the [Qingping Sword Box].

This is the sword box [inspiration] blessed by the [destiny] of swordsmanship!
He pushed the power of [Solution to the World] to the extreme, wrapped it in the sword box, and carefully experienced the various wonderful changes brought about by [Inspiration].

Soon, the first level of the magic of the sword box entered his heart.

Suddenly, a one-meter square dimensional space appeared in the sword box.

The small bamboo leaf sword manifested by [Qing Ping Mo] is in this space, being constantly nurtured and blessed by the magic power of the sword box.

The sword box [Spirit] refined by the "Sword Box" has the function of storing treasures.

This is a basic function that all sword boxes have.

Jing Qian's sword box originated from Chi Ling's [Chun Yang Sword Box], and the storage space in it was also perfectly inherited by him.

At this moment, a small pile of miscellaneous items appeared in his [Qingping Sword Box]. These were Chi Ling's personal belongings.

Jing Qian is not like Chi Ling, who has no shortage of storage space.

He just waved his hand and threw all the messy things in the sword box into the [virtual world].

Only the sword body of [Qing Ping Mo] was left inside.

Just as Jing Qian finished moving the garbage, a ray of light suddenly fell into his hands from among Chi Ling's miscellaneous items, and actually activated his [Lifespan] destiny, and began to circle in the palm of his hand.

Jing Qian was startled. This spiritual light seemed quite strange. It emitted a faint warm luster and seemed to contain some unknown power.

He carefully sensed again, and a message came in:
"Zhuling Cave Heaven, on May 5th, it appears, it is a battle for longevity, it is a spiritual opportunity."

This strange magical power was actually what Zhizhou Luo Yaozhi wanted to obtain from the academy Chi Ling, the beacon to enter the [Zhuling Cave Heaven].

Chi Ling hid this beacon in the sword box. Once she was promoted to [Extended Life] and awakened her [Lifespan] destiny, it could be officially activated and secure her place in [Zhuling Cave Heaven].

However, although Jing Qian was only at the ninth level of [Destiny] cultivation, he miraculously awakened [Lifespan] and also activated the beacon, thus securing a spot.

There is still half a year until the fifth day of May, so he can already consider whether to go to [Zhuling Cave Heaven].

However, Jing Qian knew too little information about [Zhuling Cave Heaven] and did not react much to this opportunity.

Instead, it was the beacon in his hand that made his eyes light up.

This is a superb use of the power of subspace, which is quite instructive for his [Sumeru].

He used the [Sumeru] destiny to swallow it in one gulp and slowly began to digest it.

Afterwards, Jing Qian once again focused his mind on the sword box, and saw [Qing Ping Mo] in this space, agile as a fish.

He tried to channel a [White Fang Life Essence] into the sword box and add it to the [Green Ping Powder].

A faint sword energy began to linger.

He then channeled another [Life Essence] into it, and the sword energy became stronger.

One by one, Jing Qian poured all of his [Life Essence] and magic power into the [Qingping Sword Box].

Inside the sword box, the power of the sword energy becomes stronger and stronger.

Without stopping, he used the [Sealing Technique] to restore his magic power and poured the newly acquired [Life Essence] into the sword box.

The power of the sword energy was further enhanced. At this time, the [Life Essence] magic power in the box had exceeded Jing Qian's own magic power limit.

This is the second magical effect of the [Qingping Sword Box] besides storage, which is to "store sword energy".

As long as Jing Qian continues to infuse [Life Essence] into it, the intensity of the sword energy in the sword box will continue to increase.

From then on, as long as he had enough [Life Essence], he could pour it into the sword box.

If he continued to do this for years and months, an extremely terrifying sword energy would surely emerge from his sword box.

Considering the extremely high status of [Qing Ping Mo], this sword energy must be Jing Qian's strongest trump card.

If there is a powerful enemy that he cannot defeat immediately, he can choose to take some time to calm down and fight hard.

Jing Qian couldn't help but imagine various scenarios of counterattack, reversal, and crushing in his mind, and his spirits soared for a while.

He was quite satisfied with the second level of magical effect, which was worthy of being called [Destiny].

He continued to explore the [Qingping Sword Box], and the third level of magical effect directly entered his mind, and he easily digested and comprehended it.

This magical effect is called "Sword Light Differentiation"!
This is a powerful life technique in the way of the sword, and it is a perfect match with the second magical effect of the sword box.

Jing Qian's ultimate sword energy skill stored in the sword box cannot be easily used in daily battles.

But relying on this "sword light differentiation" technique, he can separate the sword energy in the sword box and use it against the enemy.

The power of this differentiated sword energy is naturally not comparable to the basic sword energy. At most, it is only one-fifth of the basic sword energy, but it has the advantage of low cost and consumes very little mana.

However, as more and more [Life Essence] and mana accumulate in the [Qingping Sword Box], the power of that fundamental sword energy will one day be more than five times that of Jing Qian's full-strength sword.

By then, every sword energy that was differentiated was better than Jing Qian's full output.

Moreover, as his practice of [Sword Light Differentiation] deepens, he will be able to separate out the second, third, or even more sword energies sooner or later.

The power of this sword box can be seen from this. Jing Qian's output limit has been greatly improved!
The newly-born [Qingping Sword Box], with just these three magical effects, was enough to make him extremely surprised.

And when he connects other [destiny] to the sword box, each additional one will bring an additional magical effect.

Each level of magical effect is a qualitative change!
As the most fundamental inheritance with the highest threshold among the twelve lineages of the academy, this "Sword Box" is extremely powerful.

Especially after Jing Qian arrived at the Fate Monument Space, he became more aware of the power of this [Inspiration]. In the real world, the sword energy he had painstakingly cultivated was a powerful move that could not be easily used.

But within this space, there are conventional weapons that will be refreshed after death!
Thinking of this, Jing Qian didn't want to do anything anymore, and left all the ghosts and corpses aside.

He jumped out of the [virtual world] and sank into the deep sea, and began to use the [Sealing Technique] over and over again, madly absorbing external vitality, restoring his magic power, and then pouring it into the sword box to increase the power of the sword energy.

While casting the spell, he used [Solution to the World] to frantically deduce the technique of connecting the sword box with [Fate].

I wish I could add all the powerful [fates] such as [Sumeru] and [World Solution] to it in the next second.

Jing Qian is already drunk!
Every time the sword energy from the outside world becomes stronger, he wishes it could become ten times stronger in the life monument space.

Within his space, there is also the incarnation of the soul of a great continent. The magic power and memories contained in it are absolutely priceless!
He originally thought that he would not be able to kill Zhizhou in a short time.

But now he suddenly saw a glimmer of hope, and he couldn't help but get excited.

This is also the true portrayal of all the cultivators in [Chunyangxu].

The power of the secret technique "Sword Box" will attract practitioners to devote themselves to it.

The increase in combat power it brings will subtly encourage monks to challenge more powerful opponents.

This resulted in an alarmingly high death rate among disciples of [Chun Yang Xu], who already had difficulty inheriting the tradition.

If Chi Ling had not been too confident in his own fighting ability, he would not have bravely ventured into the vast ocean alone and been plotted against by the monster.

Jing Qian just lay on the bottom of the sea and started a unique sword-making journey.

By fully promoting the [Sealing Technique], more than ten [White Fang Life Essences] can be restored in one hour.

With Jing Qian's spiritual power, working continuously for six or seven hours a day is no problem at all!
He just worked hard without caring about anything.

The task I set for myself every day is to pour more than a hundred [Life Essences] into the sword box.

The power of his sword energy increases day by day.

When he struggled for around ten days, the fundamental sword energy of the [Qingping Sword Box] broke through a critical node, and its power increased by more than five times that of his full-strength sword.

From that day on, the power of the sword energy generated by his [Sword Light Differentiation] officially surpassed his full-strength sword attack that did not rely on [Inspiration].

The mana consumed is less than 10% of the total mana reserves.

Excluding the sword energy ultimate move, his output increased tenfold!
The reason why [Lingjizi] is considered the most top-notch cultivator of his generation naturally means that he is far more powerful than ordinary people.

Take Su Min'er for example. As soon as he received the [Spiritual Inspiration], he was able to fight with the [Green Lantern] for three days and three nights.

Miss Chi Ling is only at the [Dragon Elephant] level, but it took a group of great cultivators decades to suppress her.

Jing Qian can be said to be the all-round evolved Chi Ling, and he will never live up to the name of "Lingjizi".

He worked even harder. From now on, every additional [Life Essence] he poured into his body would raise his output limit a little bit.

The efficiency of this combat power improvement is comparable to that of Deep Blue points, and it cannot be stopped at all.

This alternative practice lasted until the last month of the Yin year, the twelfth month, when it was unexpectedly interrupted.

Jing Qian sank to the bottom of the sea ten thousand meters deep and suddenly found an extremely huge divine whale swimming over his head.

The evil aura rising into the sky made his hair stand on end.

[Worldly Solution] With a sweep, the scene above the sea surface entered his mind directly.

It was the [Island Whale] that was swimming, dragging a long and thick iron chain and twenty eighth-grade [Blue-Winged] sirens.

Jing Qian looked very familiar with this divine whale.

More than a year ago, it was the one that swallowed the [Green Pearl] alive.

At that time, Jing Qian was so weak, like a porcelain doll that would break at the slightest touch.

But at this moment, he just raised a huge mass!

Even he himself doesn't know how powerful the big sword blessed by [Spiritual Inspiration] is.

Jing Qian quietly stood up from the reef, jumped into the dimensional void, and disappeared.

When you meet old friends again after a long time, you will be treated to good wine and cigarettes.

This seventh-grade [Island Whale] has a long lifespan and a strong body. It is one of the most distinctive and representative creatures in this sea area.

After years of growth, its entire body has been covered with a thick layer of shell.

In the dimension, Jing Qian's fingertips slid across the warm jade surface of the [Qingping Sword Box], and a sharp halo flowed on the patterns on the sword box.

The sword energy that has been accumulated for nearly a month is roaring in the box. It is the sharp edge forged by the burning of thousands of [Life Essence].

"[Worldly Solution], open!"

Mysterious runes appeared in his pupils, and the world in Jing Qian's eyes suddenly deconstructed.

On the shell of [Island Whale], three spiritual power veins are intertwined with each other, forming its magical protection system.

This system looks very sparse and a bit sloppy.

This is not surprising. Over the years, no one has ever taken the initiative to cause trouble for this [Island Whale].

Its terrifying body, which is a thousand feet long, is its best barrier.

But now, some people use it as a target for sword testing.

I saw a shallow void crack opening up from the belly of the Island Whale.

A green sword energy shot out, and the sword art [Destiny] carried by [Qing Ping Mo] appeared in the world for the first time.

Even though the Island Whale had thick skin and flesh, like a solid wall of iron and steel, it was still deeply penetrated by the sword light.

The magical light on the plastron of [Island Whale] flickered wildly, but melted like wax encountering fire the moment it touched the sword energy.

As it was moving, it felt a slight sensation, as if its abdomen had been scratched by a sharp object, which had scratched the skin a little.

This was a slight tingling sensation that I hadn't felt in a long time.

[Island Whale] swept his spiritual sense around and found nothing unusual.

It then changed its way of cruising. It started moving forward while flapping its mountain-like fins, making itself spin.

Its movement immediately caused the entire sea area to shake and surge.

There is no way any ordinary creature could get close to him.

Unfortunately, the enemy it encountered this time was quite powerful and was not affected at all by the waves it created.

I saw a crack in the void open at the place where I was stabbed by the sword, and a sword energy shone on the wound and slashed out again.

This time, the sword energy penetrated deeper, and the wound was a hundred meters deep.

The reaction of the [Island Whale] became even more obvious, and it actually twisted its body violently.

It began to realize the unusual situation and immediately launched a more aggressive defense.

I saw an incomparably powerful [Blue Blood Life Essence] gushing out from its sea of ​​consciousness and rushing along its huge body.

[Island Whale] has a body that is tens of thousands times larger than that of an ordinary person, which also gives it almost endless accumulation of magical power.

[Life Essence] surged like a tide, quickly condensing into a layer of light blue crystal shield on the surface of its shell, flashing with a deep spiritual light.

But it doesn't know that this is all a useless waste of magic power.

The enemy it had been defending against so painstakingly had already begun to move around in its body.

Jing Qian was in the dimensional void, and took the opportunity to break the shell of the [Island Whale] and drilled into its body.

This place seemed like a hell of flesh and blood, emitting a thick blood-colored aura everywhere.

Jing Qian had no way of telling the direction, so he followed the magical veins seen in the eyes of [Shijie] and went deeper.

As he walked, he casually slashed out with sharp sword energy.

He specializes in attacking the key points of the meridians, the circulation of Qi and blood, and the flow of magical power, so every sword he strikes is a vital point.

This old whale was really unlucky. He felt as if he had a serious illness and his whole body was in pain, but he couldn't tell the specific reason.

As Jing Qian went deeper and deeper and cut harder and harder, he finally found a way to control this [Island Whale].

No one knows how long this terrifying monster has lived.

During its long life, it accumulated an extremely precious treasure within its body.

That is a strand of [whale cream] produced by refining its own fat with magic power and vitality for a long time.

If the quality of this treasure is better, it can even serve as the possession of the [Life Stove].

But even the current [Whale Cream] is an excellent supplement to help fuel the [Life Stove].

It is just right for Jing Qian to evolve the [Tushita Furnace].

Jing Qian drilled into the [Island Whale], looking for the location of the [Whale Cream], and started mining it without caring about the life or death of the [Island Whale].
