Chapter 398: Dragon Abyss Sword Spirit's True Body
What do you mean? What is a man who is not capable?
Why is this sword spirit so annoying? If it weren't for Lingxiang's appearance, Long Qi might have really taken action.
Long Qi was so angry that his teeth were itching, but he could do nothing. After all, he couldn't beat Lingxiang.
Besides, even if the sword spirit doesn’t look like Lingxiang, Long Qi will definitely not be able to defeat it.
Long Qi suppressed his breath while the sword spirit continued to speak:
"Although I don't understand your techniques, I do understand that spiritual power originates from the three burners and flows through the meridians. It flows from the meridians into the meridians and goes to where it is needed."
"Magic requires a steady and continuous flow. When you used to wield your sword, your spiritual power surged like a tide, but you lacked stamina. This is because you always poured your spiritual power out all at once, preventing the source of your three burners from turning around in time. That's why you couldn't perform magic."
After hearing this, Long Qi finally understood the truth. After deep thought, he put aside his dissatisfaction with the sword spirit.
"What about the talisman?"
Long Qi was a little puzzled. According to the sword spirit, it was because he couldn't hide his power. But now his spiritual power was restricted and a lot of spiritual power was gathered. Why couldn't he cast the talisman?
"As far as I know, talisman magic is the entry-level skill for Taoist practitioners, but the higher the level, the higher the upper limit."
"From drawing the talisman to chanting it, and finally twisting the fingers to perform the spell, the control of spiritual power is extremely demanding. Someone like you who can't control spiritual power freely will naturally not be able to practice it."
So that’s how it is!
When she was at Xianyunju, Lingxiang once said that her spiritual roots were incomplete and her spiritual power was limited, so she would be extremely cautious every time she cast a spell and would not use it easily unless she had to.
But when walking in the mortal world, sometimes you will always encounter situations where you have to take action, so Lingxiang will tinker with some strange things, which can not only save your life at critical moments, but also defeat the enemy with cleverness.
Long Qi was thinking about it when he heard the sword spirit speak again:
"The pill this little girl gave you seems to have restricted your meridians, but in fact it's helping you develop the habit of conserving your energy. When the restriction is lifted in the future, you'll be able to perform spells with ease. And..."
and?
"Besides this, there is another greater benefit."
"What's the benefit?"
"The spiritual energy you've accumulated will flow through your meridians the moment the restriction is lifted, cleansing your marrow and strengthening your tendons. Your cultivation will then advance by leaps and bounds, and you might even achieve a breakthrough. As for how far you can reach, that depends on your luck."
In this case, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages, but...
But this sword spirit has always looked down on him, so why would he say this to him today?
Long Qi seemed to be lost in thought, feeling that something was wrong. He thought about it for a long time but still had no clue.
I remember the sword spirit once said that she had served many masters since ancient times, but as far as Long Qi knew, the history of the Dragon Abyss Sword was not that long. And...
Moreover, the Longyuan Sword that Long Qi knew about was definitely not such a bulky giant sword.
"Who...are you?"
"What?" The sword spirit didn't react for a moment, "Is your brain rusted?"
Why is this silly boy talking so nonsense?
Long Qi stood up and walked to the sword spirit. This time, he did not look away. He looked directly at the sword spirit that looked like Lingxiang and asked out the questions in his mind.
After hearing this, the sword spirit pondered for a long time, then looked up and smiled.
"You really want to know?"
Looking at the sword spirit's joking expression, Long Qi nodded solemnly.
Patriarch Wuwei had said before that he had not seen Long Yuan's true form, and Su Tong also talked about this.
Long Qi was puzzled. What exactly was the so-called true body? Now that he thought about it, why not just ask the sword spirit directly?
The sword spirit glanced at Long Qi scrutinizingly, and said with a half-smile, "Then it will be as you wish."
…
In ancient times, there was a man named Chenglong, a disciple of the Queen of Heaven. He was ordered to help the goddess Nuwa repair the sky. However, he was greedy for wine and made mistakes. He was blamed by the true goddess of the Queen of Heaven, and his demon bones were shaved off and he was demoted to the mortal world.
At that time, the world was overrun with demons, their spirits chaotic and wreaking havoc on the human race. To escape the grip of evil desires, the great demon who created the world cultivated his body and spirit, expelling the foul energy from the abyss and ascending with the pure energy. Thus, the divine realm was established.
Over the years, the turbid energy of the abyss, untouched by anyone, gathered and accumulated, eventually developing spiritual intelligence. However, it lacked a physical body, so it wandered between heaven and earth as an invisible energy, bewildering the minds of all living beings.
When the Goddess of Heaven saw this, she could not bear to see the suffering of all the people on earth, so she imprisoned the dragon with its bones.
When the divine realm was first established, the divine court was empty and there was a shortage of divine positions. The upper realm then entrusted the immortal realm with the task of conferring gods to facilitate the great cause.
Although the great cause was accomplished, the evil still existed, and for over a hundred years, they continued to wreak havoc on the people and abuse their power. At that time, the evil was led by Zhu Yan, and because of this, there were many wars in the world.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a skilled craftsman known as Ou Yezi.
The Taiyi God instructed Ou Yezi to forge a sword on the peak of Chijin Mountain using the bones of a demon dragon, nine-colored deer horns, celestial black iron, and the stars. The Rain Master sprinkled the rain, the Thunder God struck the cauldron, a dragon held the furnace, and the Emperor of Heaven loaded the charcoal. Finally, three instruments were formed. The gods descended to earth and descended into one of them, one of which became the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss.
The upper realm was like a tiger with wings when it obtained these three artifacts. It subdued all the monsters and suppressed them in Jiuque Mountain. It also gave orders to three families to guard the three treasures for generations.
By using the Riding Dragon Demon Bone, the foul air of the Nether Abyss was able to breathe, and while suppressing the demons, it escaped into the Netherworld. The Netherworld is the incarnation of Hou Tu Niangniang, and the upper realm has no right to interfere, so it can only let it go.
It happened that the soul of the human prince heir had been in the underworld for a hundred years. The turbid air found an opportunity and merged into his soul. It was neither a ghost nor a monster, neither a god nor an immortal. No one knew what it was.
In just over ten years, this creature created a vast clan and wanted to return to the human world to regain hegemony.
When the upper realm learned of this, they were well aware of the pros and cons involved. Fearing that the Human King's lineage would once again challenge them, they ordered the three families to suppress them with the Three Talents Formation.
The vast clan could not escape the heavenly formation, so they regarded themselves as the demon clan and created their own world in the underworld. From then on, the demon world was established.
…
"So what does this have to do with who you are?" Long Qi interrupted the sword spirit impatiently.
The Dragon Abyss Sword Spirit glanced at Long Qi with dissatisfaction. His interest, which had finally been aroused, was interrupted by a reckless guy. It was really boring!
"Didn't you ask me who it belongs to? Didn't I tell you already?"
There were so many random things, nothing more than how the demons came to be, but Long Qi didn't care about these entanglements between gods and demons. If it were a normal day, Long Qi would listen to it as a story, but now he had to go save Lingxiang, and he didn't have that much time to listen to the sword spirit's storytelling.
The dragon mentioned by the sword spirit was the Long family's ancestor Wu Ji, and the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss was made from the ancestor's dragon bones. This was all known from the ancestor's mouth a long time ago. Although it was the first time he heard about the demon-suppressing and demon-eliminating story, Long Qi didn't care. What he wanted to know was the true form of Long Yuan mentioned by the ancestor.
Only by knowing the true body can you know how to use Longyuan. In this way, the chances of saving Lingxiang will be greater.
"Tsk! You little brat, you really don't have any patience at all. I've been talking for a long time, can't you understand what I mean?"
Meaning? What does it mean?
Long Qi carefully recalled the old stories that the sword spirit had told him: turbid air... exorcising demons... suppressing evil spirits...
"Could it be!"
"Finally you have some brains..." The sword spirit rolled his eyes, then lay down on the hammock again, crossed his legs, and started eating the snacks in his arms.
The demon bones of Chenglongwuji were originally used to suppress turbid air, and the demons were born from turbid air, so the swords they forged can kill the demons!
It seems that this trip is not without chance of success, but...
"But what does this have to do with your true identity?" Long Qi still had no clue.
The sword spirit laughed and shook the squeaking snack in his hand towards Long Qi.
"What do you think I'm eating?"
"Is...what is it?"
Long Qi was naturally curious, but those things looked disgusting, so he just ignored them.
The sword spirit curled his lips, looking very disappointed.
"You asked me about my true self. I believe you have investigated some things. You should also know that there has never been a giant sword in the Longyuan Sword Lineage since ancient times."
Yes, that’s right, these are exactly what Long Qi discovered, but what does it have to do with the snacks in her hand?
"The reason the Dragon Abyss Sword has become a separate lineage is because this Seven-Star Dragon Abyss can slay demons and monsters. As the original Dragon Abyss, it has gone through many great battles to eliminate demons, and naturally killed many demons and evil spirits. These..."
The sword spirit said as he stuffed the snack in his hand into his mouth and said vaguely: "It is the demon soul that died under Longyuan's sword."
After hearing this, Long Qi felt a chill.
This sword spirit always has a face that smells like spiritual fragrance, but it eats demon spirits one by one and seems to enjoy them so much. How can Long Qi accept this?
However, Long Qi understood what the sword spirit meant.
The reason why the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss has become what it is today is because it has absorbed a lot of demonic power. The real Dragon Abyss has always been just a long sword.
But what exactly did the ancestor mean by seeing the true body? And how could one see Long Yuan's true body?
Long Qi pondered for a long time, but he was puzzled. He asked Long Yuan Sword Spirit, but the Sword Spirit just waved his hand, crossed his legs lazily, and lay on the hammock, saying to him:
"The time has not come yet."
It has come to such a critical juncture, why keep it in suspense!
But Long Qi had no choice. He couldn't argue with her, so he could only sulk in frustration.
Seeing Long Qi sitting down, the sword spirit was surprised.
"Aren't you leaving yet?"
Go? Where to?
Long Qi was so angry that he didn't react for a moment. After he came to his senses, he rolled his eyes.
"I want to leave! But how?"
The sword spirit sneered and pointed at the gate.
"Listen, someone is calling you!"
Long Qi looked outside the door in confusion and listened carefully. Sure enough, someone was calling his name, but it was difficult to hear clearly because of the noisy market.
"Long Qi..."
"Long Qi..."
This is Long Qi’s own Qi pool. The street scene outside the door is nothing but clouds and mist. Who could be calling him there?
Long Qi moved closer to listen, and the voices became a little clearer, as if there was more than one person.
"Long Qi!"
"Daredevil!"
"Seventh Brother!"
Hearing this call, Long Qi finally remembered that he and his brothers were going through the gates of hell!
Coming to his senses, Long Qi hurriedly ran out the door. The moment he stepped over the threshold, a dazzling white light came towards him and instantly submerged his figure.
