Chapter 775: Chapter 12 Need to Recharge and Renew
Kunlun had sent soone to attend the ceremony this ti, but did not bring Changgeng True Person, much to the disappointnt of many guests who had hoped to see the excitent.
The First Grade Golden Core of Kunlun and the Tai Yin Sword Master of Shushan, these two young rising stars colliding could spark what kind of fireworks, or alternatively, a massive explosion, was sothing everyone was eager to see.
Although the onlookers were incredibly keen to witness it, the parties involved may not necessarily feel the sa. The incident that day at Shushan was difficult to keep a secret, and the Tai Yin Sword Master, when provoked, could even beat up immortals. Naturally, Kunlun would not allow Changgeng True Person to have a head-on clash with the Tai Yin Sword Master.
Therefore, the Head of the Kunlun Sect did not bring Changgeng True Person with him on this trip, also out of such considerations.
There wasn’t much to say about the ancestral rites ceremony; the history of the Shushan Shangqing Faction traced back to all being from the Clarify Cult, naturally too familiar to be any more well-known.
However, the Tai Yin Sword Master, Qing Heng True Person, was throughout treated as a mascot to be paraded around, with no opportunity to display his strength—not that he needed to, for after Qiu Changtian’s Core Formation, he had already gone through this process once which boosted his personal reputation, so Ling Yunpo didn’t really resist it,
As for the display of strength, just looking at Mount Ei outside, there was no need for him to truly draw his sword.
After the ancestral rites ceremony was over, everyone returned to their respective hos.
“What about the Tai Yin Sword Master?” Chi Song Immortal asked slowly.
Even though Ling Yunpo was not completely unknown before becoming the Tai Yin Sword Master, he was still not reputable enough to catch the eye of immortals from other sects.
“A worthy young talent of the Orthodox Sect,” was the terse reply of the Ziwei Master.
A young talent of the Orthodox Sect ant that among the young generation of Golden Cores, Ling Yunpo was definitely at the top tier, which was indisputable.
But what Chi Song Immortal was clearly asking was not that; as soone who had lived for over ten thousand years and seen generation after generation of “talents,” he was actually interested in knowing how Ling Yunpo compared to soone like Changgeng True Person, a cultivation genius that rarely appeared in millennia.
The Ziwei Master’s reply of “a young talent of the Orthodox Sect” subtly conveyed a nuance of “rely a young talent of the Orthodox Sect, still inferior to Changgeng,” a typically understated way of speaking among the people of Kunlun.
“Hmm,” Chi Song Immortal didn’t show much reaction, rely comnting, “The Tai Yin Suming Sword is indeed as renowned as its reputation claims.”
“Very powerful?” asked the Ziwei Master.
Powerful it certainly was, as the Head of the Kunlun Sect wouldn’t lack the ability to judge strength. But the strength discernible to soone at the Nascent Soul Realm might not align with what an immortal could perceive as powerful.
“The Innate Yin Energy is indeed extraordinary,” sighed Chi Song Immortal, “probably the last thread of Innate Yin Energy in the world since the cosmos was divided in ancient tis.”
The Ziwei Master certainly understood the immortal’s aning. Tai Yin Energy, rare as it might be in the world, was only considered ‘rare.’
But Innate Tai Yin Energy was the strand of Yin Energy that erged when Pangu split heaven and earth, an ultimate and purest Yin object in existence, overwhelmingly superior in rank.
The Tai Yin Suming Sword, forged from this energy, was less a sword and more an “innate treasure” in the shape of a sword. Using it in a direct confrontation with any Immortal Sword would result in nothing but the latter shattering, no other outco possible.
Moreover, what concerned Kunlun was that on that day, the Tai Yin Sword Master had only wielded Sword Qi and had not used any Sword Forbidden Law.
As an ancient treasure of the Human Race, various forbidden laws were naturally sealed within the Tai Yin Suming Sword.
Regrettably, the tis were too distant to ntion, and ancient historians tended to gloss over details, often summarizing with phrases like “Sword Erges, corpses strewn all over the field,” leaving unclear whether they ant Sword Qi or Sword Dao Techniques. No one really knew.
The Ziwei Master naturally couldn’t assu that the abilities of the forr Green Duckweed Sword were the sa as the Sword Dao Techniques of the Tai Yin Suming Sword. If the Sword Qi could cleave through Mount Ei, the Sword Dao Techniques would most likely be world-shattering. Otherwise, it would not do justice to the rank of the Innate Tai Yin Energy.
“In short, although the Tai Yin Suming Sword has appeared, it cannot change the world’s balance of power in a short ti,” the Ziwei Master slowly said, “After all, Qing Heng True Person is rely at the Golden Core rank.”
One must be at the Immortal rank to use the Tai Yin Suming Sword, which is not difficult to infer from the ancient texts.
Although it’s unclear what thod Qing Heng True Person used last ti to successfully activate the Tai Yin Suming Sword, it’s likely not sothing that can be easily repeated.
Otherwise, the current attitude of the Shushan Shangqing Faction towards Kunlun would be a completely different one.
“Naturally so,” the Chi Song Immortal agreed, “Changgeng, Qiong Ying, and others, need to rapidly enhance their Cultivation Realm.”
As long as Changgeng True Person enters the Daluo Golden Immortal realm before the Tai Yin Sword Master undergoes the Feather Transformation, Kunlun will not be at a significant disadvantage even if they compete with Shushan for the position of the Orthodox Sect’s leader.
Of course, even Chi Song Immortal has no confidence against the Tai Yin Suming Sword.
Both were seasoned old demons, and even if they were secretly worried, they did not show it on their faces. Instead, they discussed other matters, such as how the power shuffle at the top of Shushan would affect its strength, how its stance towards others would change, and what the reaction of the Six Paths would be, and so on.
anwhile, on the journey back to the East Sea, the Wan Xiang Immortal and the Master of Xuandu were talking about nearly the sa topics, but let’s not dwell on that for now.
Ling Yunpo was extrely busy during this period, entertaining guests from all directions and building his relationship with his master Su Jian, even reducing his interactions with Senior Sister An.
Once the ancestral worship ceremony was over, he finally found so free ti and asked the Summoning Sword in his Sea of Consciousness:
“So, Su Su…”
“Whom are you calling?” The Summoning Sword asked with a seemingly amused tone, “Are you mistaking for your Senior Sister An?”
“Ahem, isn’t it just a nicer way to address soone?” Ling Yunpo was not embarrassed at all, he said with a chuckle, “Suming, since we are now honest with each other, can you tell about the Daoist Magic that you possess?”
The Tai Yin Suming Sword was sowhat speechless; this Sword Master really had no ounce of reserve! Now that he knew his true identity, he had not a hint of awe?
However, the Sword Dao Techniques were not a secret, so it explained them in great detail.
First and foremost, any Sword Dao Techniques could only be activated by soone of the Immortal rank.
Next, the Forbidden Technique on the Tai Yin Suming Sword was called “Innate Tai Yin Five Elents Formation,” which simply put, was a series of powerful Yin Five Elents Spells.
The various Water System Forbidden Techniques that it appeared to use when impersonating the Green Duckweed Sword were actually just Gui Water Spans from the Yin Five Elents.
The Yang Five Elents are known for their overwhelming and irresistible force; the Yin Five Elents are known for their endless and unceasing nature. Although the Sword Dao Techniques of the Tai Yin Suming Sword may not be as overbearing as those of the Sun True Obscure Sword, they have a relatively larger range and consu less True Yuan.
But even this small consumption was not sothing a Golden Core True Person could afford. Unless the Summoning Sword voluntarily lowered the strength cap of the Daoist Magic, adjusting it to a level that a Golden Core True Person could easily use, its combat power would be about the sa as the forr Green Duckweed Sword.
As for transferring the consumption of True Yuan… unless it was a life-or-death situation, Ling Yunpo knew that Ah Jing would not casually expend an almost vast amount of Spiritual Energy to help him recharge and renew the Tai Yin Sword Master’s energy.
In other words, the Tai Yin Suming Sword most of the ti could only serve as a nuclear weapon for deterrence and could not, like the last ti it split Mount Ei, unleash its full strength at will.
