"So that's how it is! No wonder the Baidi Sect is so crazy!" Master Lou said in a deep voice after receiving the latest intelligence from the Western Yan Continent through the ultra-long-distance communication formation of the long-distance flying boat.
Thinking about the fact that Baidi Sect suddenly formed an alliance with Yuqing Sect and suddenly attacked Master Teng, the reason for all these things was the death of Master Shi Dong.
He thought of the great monk Shi Dong who had taken his sword. That sword brought together the fire sword intent that he had enhanced by introducing anger, and the secret method of accumulating power. In addition, he paralyzed the great monk Shi Dong with the Three Swords Agreement, which resulted in the great monk Shi Dong being seriously injured by the sword.
But the injuries of Master Shi Dong were definitely not fatal. Even without elixirs to treat him, he would only need a dozen years of recuperation.
"It seems that a cultivator attacked and killed Shi Dong, but the Baidi Sect thought it was us who did it!" He did not feel too strange. If Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion encountered the same situation, they would also blame the enemy.
If nothing is done, not only will the reputation of the sect be affected, but it will also discourage the great monks of the sect.
The information received by Master Lou was also received by the other master sword masters, and the Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion even got the information first.
The Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion did not explain to the Baidi Sect that it was not the sword cultivators from the Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion who killed the great monk Shi Dong, but adopted a tacit attitude.
This was the greatest achievement in the long battle between the two sides. In the battle between super powers, it was rare for great monks to die. Such an achievement was enough to enhance the reputation of Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion once again.
As the core swordsman of Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion, Li Yuanba also received information about his identity on the jade disc.
He just glanced at it and didn't pay any more attention to it.
He was in contact with his original body Li Shiming, who had finally upgraded the 'Traceless Phantom Sword'.
'Phantom Sword Without Trace' is currently Li Shiming's highest weapon refining achievement, but it has not yet undergone the test of weapon calamity. Only after 'Phantom Sword Without Trace' passes the test of weapon calamity can we know whether it is successful.
Great monk Luo Pei came out of retreat. He returned from the "Heavenly Dao" hall in the cave to the temporary cave on the island. He did not choose another place and just hovered over the island.
Li Shiming stayed in the 'Tianren Dao' hall in the cave. The 'Traceless Fantasy Sword' completed the engraving of the last rune in the machine room space, and then was sent out of the cave and fell into the hands of the great monk Luo Pei.
The 'Untraceable Phantom Sword' was upgraded using the fourth-grade top-quality 'Untraceable Gold'. The special nature of 'Untraceable Gold' allows the 'Untraceable Phantom Sword' to retain its original special concealment effect after the upgrade.
However, the runes on the original 'Traceless Phantom Sword' were modified by him.
Thanks to the refining experience of 'Wanjian Peak', and the quality of 'Wuhen Huanjian' is the fusion of two fourth-grade top materials, its strength exceeds that of ordinary fourth-grade top refining materials, so he can engrave more runes on 'Wuhen Huanjian'.
In addition, the design improvements allow the 'Untraceable Phantom Sword' to accommodate a number of runes that exceeds its maximum limit.
After the upgrade of the 'Untraceable Fantasy Sword', all the original runes on the sword body were cleared. The first thing Li Shiming engraved on the sword body was the solidity rune. A full 400 million solidity runes plus the special distribution of solidity runes were spread all over every part of the 'Untraceable Fantasy Sword', allowing the sword body of the 'Untraceable Fantasy Sword' to withstand more runes.
Four hundred million solid runes were arranged on the 'Untraceable Fantasy Sword' to form a solid formation. This was a formation that he and IBMz15 had researched on their own after learning a lot of formation knowledge. He had not taught it to anyone else, so the name he gave it was very casual.
But this solid formation is not as casual and simple as its name suggests. Four hundred million solid runes are arranged on the surface of the small "Invisible Fantasy Sword". It is extremely difficult to form a solid formation, not to mention that enough space must be reserved to accommodate the subsequent runes.
The design work of the 'Traceless Phantom Sword' alone took him several months, and the amount of knowledge he had to prepare for it was difficult to calculate.
After strengthening with 400 million solid runes, he engraved another 1 billion sharp runes on the 'Traceless Fantasy Sword'. This is the theoretical endurance limit of the 'Traceless Fantasy Sword' after being blessed with 400 million solid runes.
When he was engraving the last sharp rune, he could feel that if he added one more rune, the 'Untraceable Phantom Sword' might collapse directly.
Fortunately, the 'Phantom Sword Without Trace' is his natal flying sword, and he has been nurturing it in the body of the Golden Thunder Yuanying. The connection between him and the 'Phantom Sword Without Trace' is very deep, and he can sense the slightest changes of the 'Phantom Sword Without Trace' more clearly, which gives him the confidence to dare to do so.
Now, the 'Traceless Phantom Sword' engraved with one billion sharp runes and four hundred million solid runes appeared in the outside world.
The world has a strong aversion to the 'Untraceable Phantom Sword'. This sword should not appear in this world. In many aspects, this sword is beyond the rules of this world.
The weapon calamity then occurs. This is a test from heaven and earth for spiritual objects that exceed the scope of the rules. If they pass, they will be transformed by the energy of the rules of heaven and earth, and thus be converted into spiritual objects that conform to this world. If they fail, they will be reduced to ashes.
Master Luo Pei did not want to participate in the calamity, so he threw the 'Traceless Phantom Sword' onto the sea beside him.
As a great cultivator, if he were to participate in the tribulation of the 'Phantom Sword Without Trace', then the 'Phantom Sword Without Trace' would have to face the tribulation of a great cultivator.
Since it was Li Shiming who refined the 'Phantom Sword Without Trace', and Li Shiming's cultivation was at the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, theoretically, the weapon tribulation that the 'Phantom Sword Without Trace' needed to overcome was the thunder tribulation at the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.
But if a great cultivator intervenes, then the party with higher cultivation will be used as the benchmark, and a thunder tribulation corresponding to the participant with higher cultivation will be brought down.
Sure enough, when Li Shiming observed the thunderclouds that appeared above the 'Traceless Phantom Sword' through the eyes of Great Monk Luo Pei, he recognized that it was a thunder tribulation of the middle Nascent Soul stage.
Although the power of this thunder tribulation was considered top-notch in the middle Nascent Soul stage, he was not worried at all.
The 'Traceless Phantom Sword' is extremely quiet, and the sword body suspended in the air is in a hidden state. Its existence cannot be detected by either naked eye observation or spiritual sense scanning.
But this could not escape the attention of heaven and earth, and thunderclouds loomed above the 'Invisible Phantom Sword'.
With a loud 'boom', a bolt of lightning fell from the sky and hit the 'Traceless Phantom Sword' directly.
The 'Traceless Phantom Sword' did not evade at all, and the Heavenly Thunder was unable to evade either, and it did not even fight back.
Just let the thunder strike the sword body, and countless rune lights flashed on the sword body, exposing the hidden sword body.
Lightning flashed back and forth on the sword, trying to destroy it, but under the influence of 400 million solid runes, the lightning could only cause visual effects and could not cause real damage.
The second and third thunderbolts fell one after another, and the 'Untraceable Phantom Sword' obediently endured the attacks of the thunderbolts. This was Li Shiming's experience: the more he resisted, the stronger the power of the thunderbolts would be.
Although the stronger the heavenly thunder, the greater the rewards from heaven and earth after surviving the heavenly tribulation will be, but considering the corresponding dangers, Li Shiming would rather successfully survive the thunder tribulation.
The heavenly thunder that the 'Untraceable Fantasy Sword' has encountered now is already the strongest thunder tribulation at the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Realm. If the power of the heavenly thunder is increased, it will be the heavenly thunder of the great monk level.
In that case, the chance of the 'Untraceable Fantasy Sword' surviving the catastrophe would decrease, and he didn't want his own flying sword to be destroyed by the thunder.
The energy and time spent on the 'Phantom Sword Without Trace' alone is a huge cost, not to mention the two types of top-grade fourth-grade materials needed for the 'Phantom Sword Without Trace', which are both rare materials that can be encountered by chance.
As the power of the last heavenly thunder dissipated, the energy rewarded by heaven and earth surged on the 'Traceless Phantom Sword'.
Great Monk Luo Pei waited for a while, then he released his own aura, which prevented the spirit beasts and monks in the distance who were attracted by the thunder from coming closer.
The aura of the great monk is still extremely intimidating, and can make the monks feel cautious.
After a while, the energy surge on the 'Untraceable Phantom Sword' ended, and the sword body disappeared into the void again, returning to its hidden state.
Li Shiming's mind moved slightly, and the 'Traceless Phantom Sword' flew back to the side of the great monk Luo Pei, and was put into the cave by him again.
Looking at the 'Phantom Sword Without Trace' in front of him, he could sense the powerful weapon spirit inside the 'Phantom Sword Without Trace' through spiritual connection.
As for cultivating the spirit of the spiritual treasure's natal flying sword, I can share my experience with my clone Li Yuanba, and I also know how to cultivate it in the best way.
You should know that the clone Li Yuanba received guidance from Old Jian and practiced the "Secret Method of Controlling Spirits and Pregnant Treasures", which is a special secret method for spiritual treasures.
Of the one billion sharp runes engraved on the surface of the 'Untraceable Fantasy Sword', four hundred million solid runes were hidden, leaving only two rule marks, one sharp rule mark, and one solid rule mark.
Li Shiming's requirements for his natal flying sword are completely different from those of his clone Li Yuanba. Compared with Li Yuanba's pursuit of extreme speed, he has more combat methods, plus the concealment ability of the 'Traceless Fantasy Sword', so his demand for speed is not high. The initial speed of his natal flying sword of the spiritual treasure level is enough.
What the 'Traceless Fantasy Sword' requires is the strongest armor-piercing effect. With the blessing of one billion sharp runes and sharp rule marks, the defense of a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul may not even need to use the 'Void-Breaking Sword Intent' to easily tear through the defense.
He activated the 'Secret Method of Controlling Souls and Pregnant Treasures', and passed on his and his clone Li Yuanba's understanding of the 'Sword Intent Soaring to the Sky' and the sword-cultivating combat techniques to the 'Traceless Fantasy Sword' spirit bit by bit.
This is a long process. The more knowledge the weapon spirit learns, the more help it will be to him in battle.
Outside, the figure of Great Monk Luo Pei turned into a stream of water and entered the ocean, using water escape to leave the island.
His direction was towards Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion. This time he needed to welcome back Li Yuanba and receive some weapons.
Great Monk Luo Pei now has fewer concerns when traveling, mainly because the main monks of the Baidi Sect, which he is most concerned about, have evacuated from the Zhongzhou Continent.
Not to mention that the conflict between the Baidi Sect and the Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion has intensified, so there is no way they can take care of him.
Of course, he couldn't take it lightly, as he was dealing with a valuable treasure. As long as there was a chance, the Baidi Sect would definitely come looking for him.
His reputation is not good now, and he has a bad reputation. From now on, he can only be a casual cultivator, and it is impossible for him to join any sect.
No matter what the reason was, he had brought such harm to the Fuliu Sect that it was almost on the verge of extinction. Any sect would be on guard against him to prevent him from going crazy for no reason one day and attacking their own sect.
He also didn't care about Luo Pei's identity as a great monk, just to be able to access the resources of a great monk.
Now Li Shiming has enough resources of his own, and he only needs to retreat for a long time to try to become a great monk.
When he reached the realm of great monk, the combat power of Great Monk Luo Pei was dispensable to Li Shiming.
Of course, Li Shiming also had an important arrangement for Master Luo Pei, which was that all matters related to corpse refining in the future would be placed on Master Luo Pei.
With the realm of a great monk, Master Luo Pei can contract with refined corpses of the highest stage of the Golden Core stage, and the number is extremely large, enough for him to contract a large number of refined corpses at will.
Great Monk Luo Pei is a body of the Heavenly Ghost, and the Heavenly Ghost is Li Shiming's spiritual pet. Under this relationship, Li Shiming has control over Great Monk Luo Pei's corpse that is almost the same as his own.
After another month's voyage, Li Yuanba's flying boat returned to Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion.
All the great monks of Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion went to participate in the meeting, but he did not have the ability to attend such a meeting, so he was still extremely free.
He declined many requests from sword cultivators to make pills, using the excuse of taking a break.
Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion is an extremely united sect. It can be seen that his alchemy level is only known within the pavilion and has not spread beyond the scope of Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion.
He flew out of Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion and met the great monk Luo Pei on the sea thousands of miles away from Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion.
The two did not say anything, and Li Yuanba handed over all the harvest to Master Luo Pei.
Including the Precious Lotus Palace, the 'Aurora Swift Shadow Boat', the Jade Spring and the Fire Jade Furnace, even the materials for the two great monks' healing elixirs were handed over.
In addition, there are a large number of corpses. The most valuable among these corpses is the corpse of the great monk Shi Dong. The others are as many as twelve corpses of the core monks of the Baidi Sect in the middle Nascent Soul stage.
If all of these corpses were refined into golden corpses, I'm afraid that all of Zhai Ge's cave heaven golden corpse cores would be consumed. Before Zhai Ge's cave heaven is completely controlled, there will be no replenishment of cave heaven golden corpse cores.
Of course, to refine so many corpses, a huge amount of fourth-grade corpse refining materials are needed. Especially if the corpse of Great Monk Shi Dong is to be refined into a golden corpse, at least Great Monk Luo Pei cannot do it now.
I'm afraid that Master Luo Pei's cultivation level cannot suppress the corpse transformed by Master Shi Dong. Master Shi Dong's realm is much stronger than Master Luo Pei's. Although they both belong to the realm of master, Master Shi Dong belongs to the upper-middle level among the masters, while Master Luo Pei is at the bottom.
