“That’s right!” Ye Qingyun thought for a moment and then said, “Originally, I planned to send you down the mountain to take a look, but considering that your injuries haven’t healed yet, and that my junior sister volunteered, I’ll let her go!”
"Something unusual is bound to happen; we should be careful about this!"
Although Ye Qingyun was worried, he thought about it and decided to trust his junior sister. He then said, "Never mind, let's not talk about this now. We'll talk about it when you return to the mountain. By the way, how are your injuries, junior brother?"
Hearing his senior brother suddenly ask about his condition, Xiao Yuhan could only quickly cover it up, "What else can I do? Just rest for now. Your junior brother is now a master of the third level of the Void Realm. Ordinary people can't hurt me. Senior brother, please don't worry too much!"
"That's true. With your junior sister's help, there shouldn't be any major problems. However, things haven't been peaceful down the mountain lately, so you'd better be on your guard!"
Xiao Yuhan nodded in agreement, "Judging by the days, Senior Brother Liu should be back soon."
...
A few days later, Liu Jiantang, who had just returned to the mountain, began to forge a sword in seclusion. As soon as he made progress, he immediately sent someone to summon Xiao Yuhan.
Upon learning that Senior Brother Liu had returned, Xiao Yuhan went directly to the sword-forging platform in Sword Valley. When he arrived, he found that Senior Brother Sect Leader and Senior Brother Liu had been waiting there for a long time.
"Senior Brother Ye and Junior Brother Xiao, come and see! This time I found two good materials. I used one to reforge the Dragon Slayer Sword. Following Junior Brother Xiao's method, I incorporated my own heart's blood into the forging process. As a result, I found that the method Junior Brother Xiao mentioned really works!" Liu Jiantang took out the reforged Dragon Slayer Sword and handed it to the two of them.
Xiao Yuhan examined the sword and discovered that although its aura was similar to the original Dragon Slayer Sword, it was not the same sword. "Senior brother, this sword is not the one from before, right? Did you melt down the broken pieces of the Dragon Slayer Sword into it?"
"That's right, this is a new sword, but I'll still name it Dragon Slayer. Senior brothers, take a good look!"
As he spoke, Liu Jiantang threw his sword into the sky, then formed a hand seal and directly performed the Disintegration of the Sword. Instantly, a dragon's roar resounded throughout the heavens, but this time the dragon's roar seemed to be less powerful than before.
But just as the two were surprised, Liu Jiantang casually grabbed, and the nine golden dragons immediately returned to Liu Jiantang's hand, transforming once again into the Dragon-Slaying Sword.
This series of actions stunned Ye Qingyun, who immediately asked, "Junior Brother Liu! How did you do that? You can recover after disintegrating your body?"
Liu Jiantang explained, "This was an idea proposed by my junior brother. When forging the sword, he melts his own heart's blood into it. This way, after the sword is destroyed, it can still be restored to its original state. However, this kind of destruction is not as powerful as the method that damages the sword, but it is not much different. At least from now on, the method of destruction will no longer be a desperate way to sacrifice one's life, but can be used as an essential move for sword cultivators!"
After listening to Liu Jiantang's explanation, Ye Qingyun immediately asked, "Are there any side effects to this method?"
Liu Jiantang said, "We haven't found anything yet, so there shouldn't be any problems. By the way, let's not talk about that for now. This time, I went to the Kunlun Mountains and found a piece of meteorite iron that fell from the sky. It is said to have been there for a long time, but no one dares to approach it because it is surrounded by lightning and has extremely strong destructive power. I thought that Junior Brother Xiao is good at lightning magic. If this item is used to forge a sword for Junior Brother, it will definitely be a great help!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuhan immediately became interested and asked Liu Jiantang to take out the meteorite iron to take a look.
Liu Jiantang led the two into the smelting area and pointed towards the furnace. "However, I really have no way to smelt it, so I asked Senior Brother Sect Leader to come and help. I'm sure with Senior Brother's Undying True Flame, he can definitely smelt this thing!"
Xiao Yuhan looked at the furnace and saw that the black meteorite iron inside did not show any signs of turning red under the high temperature of the furnace, and black lightning was swirling around it, which was really strange.
"Why is there black lightning here?" Xiao Yuhan couldn't help but ask.
Liu Jiantang shook his head, indicating he didn't know. At this moment, the knowledgeable senior brother, the sect leader, rolled his eyes at the two of them and said, "I told you to study hard before, but you didn't listen. Now you're dumbfounded, aren't you? This is called tribulation lightning. It is said that the tribulation to ascend to immortality after the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation is when black lightning descends. Junior Brother Liu has really struck gold this time!"
"Tribulation lightning? Isn't that something that only appears when Mahayana cultivators undergo tribulation to ascend to immortality?" Xiao Yuhan pressed.
Ye Qingyun shook his head. "The Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation begins when one enters the Mahayana Realm from the ninth level of the Dao Integration Realm. Each tribulation leads to a further step. Passing the ninth tribulation leads to the ninth level of the Mahayana Realm. At the ninth level of the Mahayana Realm, the Ascension Tribulation will immediately descend. Success leads to the Ascension Realm, while failure leads to oblivion. Therefore, this black lightning that only appears during the Ascension Tribulation is extremely rare and hard to come by."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuhan immediately shook his head, "Such a valuable item, Senior Brother Liu should keep it for himself. How could I possibly use such a thing!"
At this moment, Liu Jiantang said in a serious tone, "My previous trip to the Southern Frontier caused my junior brother to destroy the Immortal Sword. This item is a token of my goodwill. I would feel uneasy if my junior brother is unwilling to accept it!"
At this moment, Ye Qingyun smiled and echoed, "This item is probably only something you, Junior Brother, can handle. No one here uses lightning magic, so please accept it. After all, it's a token of your Senior Brother Liu's goodwill."
Xiao Yuhan then stopped refusing, thinking that even the sect leader had spoken, so she reluctantly agreed.
The three brothers got right to work: Ye Qingyun melted iron, Liu Jiantang forged a sword, and Xiao Yuhan used his heart's blood to help with the forging.
The sword-making process went very smoothly, and the sword was completed in no time.
Just as Xiao Yuhan was condensing his heart blood, he suddenly felt the suppressed Blood King Gu in his heart meridian begin to stir, and suddenly a flash of inspiration struck him.
A thought suddenly popped into my head.
Heart's blood can be used to establish a connection between oneself and the sword.
Although the Blood King Gu is a type of Gu poison, it is mixed with blood. This thing is somewhere between blood, Gu, and spiritual energy, making it a hybrid of the three.
If we could use the connection established through the blood of the heart to force the Blood King Gu into this sword that is about to be forged, would that be feasible?
Upon realizing this, Xiao Yuhan felt as if he had been enlightened. Without hesitation, as he fused his heart's blood into the sword, he immediately channeled all his spiritual energy to force the Blood King Gu into the sword.
But this series of actions made everyone feel uneasy.
The sword that had already taken shape began to emit a terrifying sword intent, and black lightning swept through the cave, while the red blood energy representing the Blood King Gu actually began to fight against the black lightning.
With a deafening roar, the cave where the Sword Valley Sword Forging Platform was located suddenly collapsed. Seeing that something was wrong, Ye Qingyun and Liu Jiantang ignored the sword and grabbed Xiao Yuhan as they flew out of the cave. Even so, the three of them were still seriously injured.
Xiao Yuhan fainted as a result, but he was very fortunate because he clearly felt the Blood King Gu in his body disappear before he lost consciousness.
