Chapter 405: The Spirit of the Sword, Ziling, Refines Blood Qi into Blood Essence
Shen Mo took out the heavy, pitch-black greatsword.
His gaze fell upon the first layer of the seal.
As expected.
The once obscure and profound patterns had now beco clear and simple.
Shen Mo's gaze was like an invisible hand, unraveling layer by layer, analyzing the pattern.
For a full two hours, he remained completely still.
His eyes moved along the seal's lines.
Sotis upward, sotis downward.
Sotis shifting side to side.
At a certain mont, he suddenly withdrew his gaze.
Even for him, such intense analysis of the seal's pattern left him ntally exhausted.
However, the value was clearly imnse.
"So that's how it is. This is the Three Seals of the Grand Profound Spirit from the Spiritual Treasure Orthodox Sect."
"Specifically used to seal rare and strange spiritual weapons."
"These weapons, without exception, possess incredibly destructive power, but also co with severe side effects."
"To prevent these weapons from falling into the hands of evil cultivators and demonic cultivators, the Spiritual Treasure Orthodox Sect sealed them away."
Shen Mo exhaled a heavy breath and smiled.
But now, he could already break the first seal!
Shen Mo extended his finger, spiritual power surging to its tip.
In the blink of an eye, threads of spiritual energy like silk ford.
Agile and lively.
As if they had a life of their own.
Shen Mo's ten fingers danced rapidly.
In a flash, those threads ford an intricate and obscure pattern.
That pattern fell straight toward the first seal.
Crack.
A faint cracking sound seed to echo in the air.
Shen Mo looked closely.
The pattern of the first seal on Heavenbreaker's surface had vanished without a trace!
Buzz—buzz!
The pitch-black heavy greatsword trembled violently, as if reborn.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Bursts of sword cries rang out.
Shen Mo imdiately reached out and gripped Heavenbreaker's hilt tightly.
The imnse strength of the Venerable Realm erupted, his muscles bulging, barely keeping Heavenbreaker from flying out of his grasp.
As for the resounding sword cries, they were completely contained within the tent.
Long before settling into this tent, Shen Mo had arranged various formations inside.
Sound isolation was rely one of the many functions.
Such sword cries were utterly incapable of breaking through the restraints of the formations.
Heavenbreaker struggled fiercely in Shen Mo's grasp.
After a while, as if realizing it couldn't escape his hands, it finally cald down.
Shen Mo extended his divine sense, touching the spirit within Heavenbreaker.
Since it had beco a Heaven-rank spiritual weapon, it was bound to have a spirit.
However, having been sealed for so many years under three layers, its spirit's intelligence had likely been nearly worn away.
It was uncertain whether it could still match its forr peak.
Shen Mo's divine sense entered Heavenbreaker's interior.
It was pitch black within.
No trace of light could be seen.
Then, a woman's voice filled with killing intent suddenly rang out.
"You dare enter my body? Courting death!"
Imdiately after, a sword intent so fierce it seed to cleave heaven and earth surged forth and struck with a thunderous boom.
Shen Mo raised his brows slightly but didn't dodge. He simply stood there, facing the sword intent head-on.
Boom!
The fierce sword intent struck directly between Shen Mo's brows but did not continue downward.
The woman's voice rang out again, "You didn't dodge?"
Shen Mo smiled. "You don't dare kill ."
The woman gritted her teeth. "Who says I don't dare?!"
Shen Mo spoke calmly. "The Spiritual Treasure Orthodox Sect has long since been destroyed, and its legacy is severed. If you kill , who will remove the remaining two seals?"
The woman instantly fell silent.
After a long pause, she seed to bite down hard on her silver teeth and said coldly, "I'll spare your life—for now!"
Shen Mo gave a faint smile.
Perhaps this was the side effect of snatching a fortuitous encounter halfway.
If Lin Dongtian had obtained this opportunity instead, the spirit of Heavenbreaker would likely be affectionate and welcoming—how would there be such tests?
"Heavenbreaker, tell —what are you capable of?" Shen Mo asked casually.
The woman snorted coldly. "Heavenbreaker is the na of this sword. My na is not Heavenbreaker."
"Then what is your na?" Shen Mo asked indifferently.
The woman snorted again. "No one but my master is worthy of knowing my na!"
Shen Mo nodded. "Alright then, I'll call you Cuihua from now on."
The woman was montarily stunned, then flew into a rage. "What Cuihua?! That's awful! My na is Ziling!"
Shen Mo shrugged. "Well, didn't you just say it anyway? Why bother making such a fuss."
The woman: "..."
"Aren't you going to show yourself? How long do you plan to keep hiding?" Shen Mo looked into the surrounding darkness.
The woman snorted. "Not showing you."
Shen Mo thought for a mont, then asked, "Who was your master? Wu Zu?"
The woman sneered. "You're pretty clever to have guessed that."
"My master will definitely co back for . This little world is far too small to contain my complete self."
Shen Mo chuckled. "Is there a chance Wu Zu already abandoned you? Maybe he's found a better spiritual weapon by now."
Ziling was montarily dazed. "Impossible. Absolutely impossible! I followed my master since he was a child. He would never abandon ."
Shen Mo waved a hand, no longer interested in continuing that topic.
"You haven't answered my first question yet—what are you capable of?"
Ziling remained haughty and said nothing.
Shen Mo let out a cold laugh. "Recognize your status. You're the servant, and I'm the master."
"Right now, I'm the only one who can remove the remaining two seals."
"Your spirit needs to recover, and that requires to infuse blood qi into you."
Ziling was left speechless.
After a mont, she finally spoke with so reluctance. "Absorb blood qi and refine it into blood essence."
"This power is far stronger than spiritual power or blood qi. It can counter demonic energy."
Shen Mo raised his eyebrows, visibly intrigued.
So that's how it was.
Refining blood qi into blood essence to counter demonic energy.
It was indeed a solid concept.
With this kind of power, Shen Mo wouldn't have to expend massive amounts of blood qi and spiritual power in fighting the demon race.
"How many units of blood qi does it take to refine one unit of blood essence?" Shen Mo pressed further.
"One hundred to one. Each refinent takes a full day," Ziling said in a low voice, seemingly having accepted her fate. "Heavenbreaker can store up to ten units of blood essence."
Shen Mo was overjoyed.
This was trendous news!
It ant he now had a trump card to fight the demon race.
With that, his military rits would skyrocket.
"Good. Start refining blood essence now," Shen Mo nodded, actively channeling blood qi into her.
Ziling nodded and, without playing any tricks, began refining the blood essence for him.
Shen Mo exhaled deeply.
At once, he took out the Divine Thunder Water Essence, refining it while simultaneously cultivating the Divine Thunder Demon-Suppressing Canon.
With the aid of the Divine Thunder Water Essence, his cultivation speed in the Divine Thunder Demon-Suppressing Canon increased significantly.
Not to ntion, the spiritual energy in the Demon-Suppressing Sea was far more condensed than on the mainland.
In the month that followed, Shen Mo fully laid the foundation for his Divine Palace.
This ant he had taken the first step toward the Divine Palace Realm!
"The Divine Thunder Demon-Suppressing Canon was created by the True Fla Master, specifically to counter the demon race."
"As long as I enter the Divine Palace Realm, my spiritual power will carry a trace of Divine Thunder Force—enough to oppose demonic energy!"
"By then, I'll have both Divine Thunder Force and blood essence as ans to counter the demonic aura!"
Shen Mo smiled.
These two techniques already surpassed what ordinary Demon-Suppressing Guards could achieve.
With them, he would surely accelerate his accumulation of military rit!
