Douluo Continent: A Fallen Immortal Descends to Earth, Slaying Gods with a Drunken Sword

Chapter 29: An Unparalleled Immortal Flower Not Found in the Original Novel—The Sword Soul Jade Heart Orchid! The Azure Lotus Sword Achieves Ultimate Sharpness
"Within the original storyline and its inevitable fate..."

Li Zhexian walked slowly among the spiritual herbs, pondering in his heart.

"Tang San swallowed the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot Blossom whole, boasting that he had cultivated a body that was impervious to water and fire."

In this regard.

Li Bai's evaluation is:
"Bastard!"

"Does someone who eats edible herbs like ginseng fruit, like Pigsy swallowing them, deserve to be called invulnerable to water and fire?"

"It's just that the martial soul has a slight increase in resistance to water and fire!"

"Can he withstand Ma Hongjun's Phoenix Flame head-on?"

Li Zhexian looked at the two immortal flowers growing beside the ice spring and the fire spring, his eyes gleaming.

"Only by using the essence of ice and fire as the lees can one brew the Ice Flame Dew that harmonizes yin and yang."

"Only by using the Immortal Dew as a medicinal guide and simultaneously consuming the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot Delicate Grass can the medicinal effects of these two immortal herbs be maximized."

"According to the Brewing Record, one can even cultivate the 'Frost Meridian Body,' where the meridians are interwoven like lava and frost, which not only makes one truly immune to ice and fire attacks, but also allows one to replenish oneself with ice and fire energy."

Thinking of that mysterious constitution.

Li Zhexian was deeply moved.

however.

Just as Li Zhexian was scanning the area, preparing to scoop up the spiritual spring water to brew wine...

A strangely shaped herb suddenly caught his eye.

This magical herb...

It takes root at the junction of the fire spring and the ice spring.

Enduring the ravages of ice and fire, it still stands straight as a sword, proudly facing the wind.

The stems resemble ancient, cold jade, and the leaves are narrow and long, like sharp swords intertwined and layered.

The flower's core is even more wondrous, with several petals detached and suspended, surrounding a phantom of a small golden sword, radiating a chillingly sharp edge.

"This……"

Li Zhexian's gaze slowly froze.

This miraculous herb!

There is absolutely no record of it in the original work!
As he searched through his memories, Li Zhexian's breathing became slightly rapid.

He now knew what this magical herb was called.

—Sword Soul Jade Heart Orchid.

A peerless fairy flower that can produce "sword fruit," but will disappear from the world if not picked in time.

In the brewing records that document countless spiritual creatures, the Sword Soul Jade Heart Orchid is an extremely rare find.

Its effects are also mysterious: it tempers the sword's spirit and directly expresses the sword's heart.

"At this stage, the Douluo Continent does not yet have the concept of 'ultimate'."

“But deep down, I could sense that when using ‘Three Swords of Splendor,’ the Azure Lotus Sword had already reached ‘extreme sharpness.’”

"If one consumes the Sword Soul Jade Heart Orchid..."

Li Zhexian's heart was burning with passion.

"Can the Azure Lotus Sword truly step into the 'ultimate' realm?!"

Sa——

Sa——

Just as his heart was surging with emotion.

Thin yet incredibly sharp sword energies suddenly emanated from the Jade Heart Orchid Sword Soul.

At the heart of the flower, the illusory golden sword shone brightly, instantly solidifying into a tangible golden sword.

Only a single golden thread, thinner than a human hair, remained, barely holding the small sword to the flower's core.

"The sword fruit has been successfully produced?!"

"So fast!"

Li Zhexian dared not hesitate for even a moment.

With a flick of his wrist, the Azure Lotus Sword was in his hand.

The sword flashed!
Slash at the golden fibers connecting the small sword and the flower core!
This is the second extraordinary aspect of the Sword Soul Jade Heart Orchid: if one is not destined to receive it, the sword fruit will be scattered rather than given!

The Azure Lotus Sword was incomparably sharp, sweeping in instantly.

Just as the blade was about to touch the fibers.

The solid golden scissor seemed to possess a spirit.

With a sudden jolt, the sword took the initiative to meet the Azure Lotus Sword.

when--!
A sound like the clash of gold and jade suddenly rang out.

The golden sapling detached itself from the flower's core and fell gracefully to the ground.

Li Zhexian was quick-witted and nimble-fingered.

He grabbed it and held it in his hand.

It feels warm and smooth to the touch, yet it contains an indescribable sharpness.

"Does this mean you acknowledge me?"

Li Bai marveled, then began to have some doubts:
"It can even withstand a direct hit from the Azure Lotus Sword."

"Won't you break your teeth if you eat it like that?"

He hesitated for a few moments.

Li Zhexian tried to put the sword fruit into his mouth. But the moment the sword fruit touched his teeth, it turned into a stream of icy, bone-chilling liquid and slid into his stomach.

In an instant.

A clear, melodious sword cry suddenly erupted from Li Zhexian's chest.

"Humph……"

The internal organs felt as if they were being pierced by a thousand needles.

Yet, it is through this intense pain that impurities are forged.

In a daze, Li Zhexian seemed to see every drop of his blood transform into tiny sword lights, washing over his meridians.

The bones emitted a clanging sound like metal striking stone!

A foul, rusty smell seeped from my pores!
This is the Jade Heart Orchid of the Sword Soul shaping a pure sword body for him!
at the same time.

The Azure Lotus Sword stood three feet in front of Li Zhexian.

It was permeated by the golden light emanating from Li Zhexian's body.

The sword emitted a crisp hum, as if it were undergoing tempering.

The already crisp and clear blade gradually took on a warm and jade-like texture.

On the three-finger-wide spine of the sword, twelve blue lotus flowers bloom in succession, lifelike.

The Azure Lotus Sword simply stood there!
The surrounding air began to distort and blur!
The space within three feet around the blade seemed unable to withstand its sharpness, and visible ripples spread out!
Li Zhexian, sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, sank into some mysterious realm.

He heard the sword whisper—

It wasn't the sound of weapons cutting through the wind, but the natural rhythm of snow falling on bamboo tips and dew dripping into a secluded pool.

Om-!
The Azure Lotus Sword, summoned by an invisible force, leaped into Li Zhexian's hand on its own.

Li Zhexian suddenly opened his eyes.

Two tangible cyan sword beams shot out from his eyes, piercing the air three feet before slowly dissipating.

With a slight thought, he raised the Azure Lotus Sword.

Swing your sword!

Silent!

The speed was unbelievably fast!

The sword follows the heart, and the blade strikes with every thought!
A faint, almost invisible, clear sword light swept across a distant, hard, black iron boulder washed by a fire spring.

There was no roar, no vibration.

The boulder silently split in two.

The cut surface is as smooth as a mirror, and can even clearly reflect a person's image.

"Is this the ultimate, sharpest sword...?"

Li Zhexian stroked the sword tip and chuckled softly.

However, the incomparably sharp sword did not leave the slightest mark on his fingertips.

The Azure Lotus Sword, as smooth as chalcedony, has become sentient, reaching the profound realm of "its sharpness is concealed, so as not to harm its master."

At that moment, Li Zhexian suddenly understood.

The so-called ultimate means pushing a certain element or ability to its absolute theoretical peak.

The ultimate ice is absolute zero, which freezes everything.

The ultimate fire is the core of the sun that burns the entire world.

Extreme sharpness, its mystery and power, far surpasses the ultimate sharpness of any element.

From then on, his sword represented the sharpest edge in the world.

at this time.

The sky was already beginning to lighten.

Despite not sleeping all night, Li Bai was full of energy.

He hummed a little tune as he felled trees in the valley.

Since I've decided to build a hut to live in temporarily, I should naturally adopt the demeanor of a hermit.

"The bright moon shines among the pines, and the clear spring flows over the rocks."

Looking at the small wooden house he had built and smelling the aroma of roasting wild rabbit over the campfire, Li Zhexian nodded in satisfaction.

"Ok?"

He suddenly frowned.

"It seems like you've forgotten something?"

"Never mind, I can't remember, I don't want to think about it anymore."

Lotus Lake.

Xue Qinghe was carrying three immortal chickens.

They stood there from the early morning when the dew was still fresh until noon when the sun was high in the sky.

He stood silently, his lips pursed, and a look of anger gradually appeared on his gentle and refined face.

"Li! The banished immortal!"

Xue Qinghe said angrily:
You actually stood me up!

I fell asleep at my desk, so I'm posting these two chapters a little late...

Please give me some free votes! Thank you so much, dear readers! The author bows deeply in gratitude!
