The old man from Bishan stared intently at the Xuan Guang sword, a hint of hesitation in his eyes.
He turned to look at Lin Xiaofei and said slowly:
Xiao Fei, if you want to possess that Xuan Guang Sword, the only way right now is to find a way to control it.
Otherwise, if you continue to entangle with those four sand demons, you will see that each of them is at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.
When the four of them joined forces, their strength was equivalent to that of someone in the early stages of a combined attack.
Your continued fighting with them is also quite disadvantageous to you.
Furthermore, with the blessing of the Xuan Guang Sword, they can reassemble their bodies, making them invincible.
Lin Xiaofei nodded, agreeing with what the old man from Bishan had said.
His gaze swept over the surrounding sand and cave, recalling the moment of their earlier exchange, when some cracks had already appeared on the surrounding sand and stone walls.
If the entire sand cave were to collapse, the three of them would be buried in the sand, which would be absolutely disadvantageous for them.
Lin Xiaofei thought for a moment, then looked puzzled and asked the old man from Bishan:
"Senior, with those four sand demons eyeing me menacingly, how am I supposed to control this Xuan Guang Sword?"
The old man from Bishan hesitated for a moment, then his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said:
When we approached slowly just now, the four sand demons did not appear, so we probably did not intend to attack at that time.
The reason you drew them out was simply because the divine power you released was aggressive.
So, if I'm not mistaken, you can try flying over them, but remember not to show any hostility.
Then, channel your spiritual power into the Xuan Guang Sword and see if you can sense its spiritual consciousness and control it.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Zichuan, standing to the side, showed a hint of curiosity and asked, "
"Senior Bishan, is it feasible for my elder brother to infuse his spiritual power into the Xuan Guang Sword and connect it with the spiritual consciousness there?"
The old man from Bishan answered affirmatively:
This method is certainly feasible.
You may not know this, but every magical artifact possesses sentience.
"As long as you can control its spiritual consciousness, the Xuan Guang Sword will automatically recognize your elder brother as its master."
A hint of anticipation flashed in Zhao Zichuan's eyes, and he asked curiously, "
"Senior, if I release my spiritual power to sense the Xuan Guang Sword's spiritual consciousness, is it possible for me to control it?"
The old man from Bishan shook his head and slowly said:
You don't have that possibility.
Your level of cultivation is too low, and there are conditions for a spiritual treasure to recognize its master.
Your elder brother has extremely high talent. At a young age, he already possesses the combat power of a Nascent Soul cultivator. Coupled with the power of his spiritual energy, he is countless times stronger than you.
Therefore, your elder brother has a good chance of controlling the spirit of that Xuan Guang Sword, while you do not.
The old man from Bishan spoke with a sense of determination and experience.
A hint of disappointment appeared on Zhao Zichuan's face, but he was not discouraged. Instead, he nodded to show his understanding.
He knew there was a gap in strength between him and his elder brother, but he also understood that this was a process that required both strength and opportunity.
Lin Xiaofei noticed the disappointment on Zhao Zichuan's face and smiled to comfort him:
Zichuan, you don't need to be discouraged.
With diligent cultivation, one can strive to reach the Nascent Soul realm as soon as possible.
At that time, if you have the opportunity to encounter a spiritual treasure, you will have the chance to control or subdue one.
Zhao Zichuan nodded and said firmly, "Okay, big brother. I will work hard in my cultivation."
However, he still had doubts in his mind, and after hesitating for a moment, he asked:
But brother, how can I quickly attain your level of mastery and power?
In Zhao Zichuan's eyes, Lin Xiaofei's cultivation speed from the ninth level of Qi Refining to the mid-stage of Nascent Soul in just about three years was something he could only dream of.
Lin Xiaofei is like an insurmountable mountain. He can easily kill a demonic cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage with his mid-Nascent Soul stage cultivation. His strength is even comparable to that of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator.
Such strength is extremely outstanding in the entire cultivation world, comparable to the sect leaders of those super-large cultivation sects.
As far as he knew, those cultivators who could reach the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm had all cultivated for thousands, or even nearly ten thousand years.
Lin Xiaofei sensed Zhao Zichuan's doubt and longing. He pondered for a moment, then said softly:
Zichuan, there are no shortcuts on the path of cultivation.
Everyone's path of self-cultivation is unique, requiring continuous effort and accumulation.
First, one must maintain firm belief and perseverance. Cultivation is a long-term process and one cannot be impatient for quick results.
Secondly, it is important to focus on building a solid foundation, diligently practicing techniques and spells, and continuously improving one's strength.
In addition, communicate more with others, participate in spiritual practice and training, and broaden your horizons and experience.
Most importantly, one must be adept at understanding and breaking through limitations, constantly exploring one's own potential.
As Zhao Zichuan listened to Lin Xiaofei's words, his doubts gradually dissipated, and he understood the hardships of the path of cultivation and the importance of perseverance.
With a determined look in his eyes, he said, "Brother, I understand. I will diligently cultivate according to your teachings and live up to your expectations."
At this moment, a determination welled up in Zhao Zichuan's heart. He would take Lin Xiaofei as his role model, forge ahead bravely, and pursue a higher realm of cultivation.
The old man from Bishan smiled but didn't say much. He believed that Lin Xiaofei agreed with what Zhao Zichuan said.
Lin Xiaofei then said:
Alright, I'm going to start controlling the spirit of that Xuan Guang Sword.
"You should all step back a bit. If, during my control, the Xuan Guang Sword unleashes its attack power, I urge Senior Bishan to protect Zichuan's safety."
The old man from Bishan nodded.
After Lin Xiaofan finished speaking, he took a step forward, his figure soaring into the air, gracefully leaping above the Xuan Guang Sword, and then sat down cross-legged.
He adjusted his breathing, and the spiritual energy within his body slowly surged out like a large net, gradually approaching the Xuan Guang Sword floating on the stone table.
...
"What's going on? How did the figures of Black God True Monarch and the other two suddenly disappear?" The demonic cultivators and the others were filled with doubt and surprise.
"Let's go take a look," someone suggested.
As the group cautiously approached, they discovered that there was a desert trap there. It resembled a giant, bottomless maw, inspiring fear in all who beheld it.
"What should we do? Should we go down?" someone asked hesitantly.
Just then, a gust of wind blew by, stirring up a cloud of yellow sand that made people squint. In this boundless desert, a trap lay like a hidden fang, waiting for its prey to fall into its clutches.
After a moment of silence, a demonic cultivator broke the silence, his voice carrying a hint of contemplation:
I remember the Demon King once said that there was a hidden underground cave dwelling of a Nascent Soul cultivator in this desert, which might contain treasures.
At this moment, the three of them, including the Black God True Monarch, had somehow fallen into this desert trap, which was very likely the cave of the former Nascent Soul cultivator.
If they find treasures in the cave and their strength increases significantly, it will be disadvantageous for us in our pursuit of them.
