Chapter 47: 044: Reunion of the Flying Dagger, Knife and Dao Become Masterful!_1 Chapter 47: 044: Reunion of the Flying Dagger, Knife and Dao Become Masterful!_1 Although the Ice Spirit Sword is named as such, it is actually made from the metal and water category spiritual materials of Thousand Water Cold Gold.
This gold is similar to amber ice crystals, but its texture is extremely hard.
It is an excellent material for making magic weapons and is seemingly very expensive.
However, it is produced in large quantities in the cold rivers of the Northern Region.
Therefore, the broadsword in Chen Dengming’s hand, which is three feet seven inches long, was made entirely out of Thousand Water Cold Gold, costing only eighteen low-grade spirit stones in total.
But this kind of price is already quite cheap among medium-grade magic artifacts, after all, Boss Hu gave a 30% discount.
Like ordinary low-grade magic weapons, at most a palm-sized piece of Thousand Water Cold Gold is needed, but Chen Dengming’s magic weapon broadsword is a massive piece.
...
“Gold produces water; this magical broadsword made of gold-water spiritual materials is just right for me.
Unfortunately, within this small courtyard, this sword is like a trapped dragon in a well; it’s difficult to use…”
Chen Dengming caressed the icy surface of the blade, growing fonder the more he touched.
This sword was customized according to his preferences.
It was inspired by a treasure sword in a martial arts TV show from his past life, three feet seven inches long.
Whether it was the length, width, or appearance, it was all in line with his heart’s desire.
Wielding this kind of broadsword and unleashing Qingqiu Mad Dragon’s thirty-foot broadsword Qi was truly manly.
He held the big sword; his breath gradually became even and lengthy.
In the blink of an eye, he reached another state of mind, his spirit seemed to merge with the knife, and he controlled it as though it was an extension of his arm.
When it comes to sword usage, his name as Mad Blade wasn’t for show, even without using the “Artifact Controlling Secret”, he could optimize the usage of the broadsword.
He suddenly brought the broadsword upright in front of his forehead, looking straight down the blade.
His gaze instantly became as sharp as a sword, producing a vast sword Qi that suddenly burst out like thunderclouds and lightning.
“Yell――”
Chen Dengming aggressively stepped forward, his eyes shone fiercely, a shocking four feet of sword Qi swept out, like an Ice Dragon snapping and clawing down.
As it approached the ground, the sword Qi transformed into a cold light and disappeared.
Chen Dengming timely sheathed his sword.
At this moment, whether it’s the ground or the leaves and branches of the trees in his courtyard, a layer of ice crystals had already formed, crystal clear and sparkling, stabbing painfully into people’s eyes.
The surface of the pond was floating with thin ice.

Suddenly, the crisp sound of ‘kaka kaka’ echoed continuously.
All the residual sword Qi in the ice crystals exploded, numerous ice particles shattered, ice powder filled the sky, the scene appeared as if shaking cotton.
Chen Dengming took a deep breath, his white hair danced wildly, his eyes flashed with radiance, like hidden electricity flickering, he felt at this moment that his Sword Dao has truly reached Great Perfection, he and his sword had become one.
He suddenly raised his palm, without needing to form a seal, the long sword vibrated with a hum and flew by itself, the spiritual light increased tremendously, and suddenly shrank to the size of a palm to spin in his palm, the transparent body of the sword was dazzling.
With a whoosh—
The sword flashed!
The flying sword was nowhere to be seen!
But suddenly, a see-through hole appeared in a rock, with ice forming within.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh—
Under the dual control of Chen Dengming’s “Artifact Controlling Secret” and the Sword Dao’s Sword Intention, the flying sword, like a bird full of spirituality, flew all over the place at an incredible speed.
With just a light turn, a piece of tough blue stone was cut in half, with the cross section smooth as a mirror.
“Hum!
—”
The flying knife flashed and, like a bird seeking its owner, returned to Chen Dengming’s palm and disappeared into his sleeve.
“Flying knives, once again flying knives, the lost art of the martial world.
I didn’t expect that now in the Cultivation World, it could reach another level…
The combination of martial arts and instrument control skill reduces the consumption of my spiritual energy by nearly half when I strike with my sword.”
Chen Dengming had mixed feelings in his heart, but his state of mind was neither happy nor sad.
At this moment, he surprisingly found a delicate and indescribable point of agreement between martial arts and the Dao of Immortality, allowing his sword technique and Daoism to reach another level.
Sword, Dao, Sword, Dao.
Sword Sword Sword Sword Sword!
Dao Dao Dao Dao Dao!
Among the three thousand paths of the Great Dao, perhaps the Sword and the Dao also coincide.
Within the panel, several of his statuses changed.
The Chen Clan Martial Arts Guidelines upgraded from ‘Complete’ at 99/100 status straight to the ‘Great Perfection’, thus increasing his lifespan by ten years.
Additionally, the “Artifact Controlling Secret” also went from the proficient level directly to the master level.
Among the first-tier first-level skills Chen Dengming had learned, this was the only one that had broken through to the master level, thus also increasing his lifespan by ten years.
In the future, unless other first-tier, first-level skills can break through to a level higher than the master level faster than the “Artifact Controlling Secret”, it will be difficult to extend life further due to the overlapping effect of the same level cultivation techniques.
However, his current lifespan had risen directly from 222 years to 247 years.
“Now, I hold two Gu worms, the Golden Silkworm and the Blood Centipede, my speed is not weak…
The only drawback is my defense.
I can’t confidently face cultivators at the Sixth Level of Qi Cultivation, but perhaps…
I should be capable of handling ordinary Fifth-Level practitioners?”
Chen Dengming mused, but felt this idea too inflated.
Why engage in conflict?
Best to avoid trouble whenever possible.
He put away his magic artifacts and Spirit Gu, and went back to his room for cultivation.
The courtyard was empty, and the room was desolate and cold.
Suddenly, he missed the old days when he was selling fish and practising cultivation.
At least then he had a few neighbours to chat with, occasionally boasting about going to a bar, but in fact just casually passing by Zanhua Building.
His journey to become an immortal was not devoid of human warmth, and his Dao of Immortality was not solitary.
But now he had no one to communicate with.
Would the loneliness only get worse with further cultivation?
Would he eventually reach the state of Forgetfulness?
“I wonder how Xu Wei is doing in the Luo family?
It feels like it hasn’t been two months since things happened.
The current situation of the Luo family isn’t good, she must be having hard times too…”
In the courtyard, a drop of icy crystal melting from a branch, swaying and vibrating, finally fell onto the water surface, causing ripples to spread.
In his room, Chen Dengming calmed the ripples in his mind, assumed a posture, and started to devote himself to cultivation.
True masters are lonely.
A lamp can’t burn without oil.
Depth in arts requires silent tranquility, and a high level of skill carries no weight.
However, during this practice, he always felt restless.
It was as if something in the dark was spying on him, even faintly conveying a sense of timid emotion.
A warning bell rang in Chen Dengming’s heart.
He just merged the sword Dao, reached the complete state of the sword Dao, fully restored his spirit and energy.
It was the moment when his spiritual sensitivity was at its peak, almost approaching a state of maintaining tranquility and emptiness, his perception had increased by more than several times.
At this moment, his face was calm as still water, his spirit was gathered like numerous small points, as if his third eye had opened, and suddenly locked onto a spot.
Although his eyes were closed, he seemed to see an exquisite silhouette of a woman, and a special feeling surged into his clear and glittering spiritual wisdom.
“Ah!”
A timid feminine cry suddenly transmitted into his spirit.
“Who’s there?!”
Chen Dengming was startled himself, the Blood Centipede Gu flew out from his ears, he bounced off the ground and sprung several feet away from his original spot and the Ice Spirit Sword landed in his hand with a ‘clang’.
He was about to unleash a devastating blow as swift as a gale.
“Dao, Dao Friends, please spare me!”
At this moment, that voice, like a mental transmission again, entered Chen Dengming’s mind.
He stared in surprise at the Array Plate on the ground, only to see that the image of a woman was ghostly appearing on the surface of the Array Plate.
It was like a spiritual body, emitting a faint light, as if he was seeing a ghost.
“What the heck is that?”
Chen Dengming and the spiritual entity emitting a light similar to that of the ancient and crude Soul Snatching Array Plate, stared at each other, almost ready to stab at its shameless figure with his Ice Spirit Sword.
From his perspective, the spiritual woman seemed to be wearing clothes.
However, because of her spiritual state, her clothes appeared slightly transparent, like a veil as thin as a cicada’s wings.
It almost revealed the tops her breasts and panties covering important parts.
The faintly discernible view revealed a delicate waist and…um, beautiful features.
“I am…
I am Ling’er.”
Chen Dengming frowned and suspiciously scrutinized the beautiful image that had suddenly appeared inside the Array Plate, “Ling’er?
I might as well call myself Li Xiaoyao.
What the hell are you?
If you don’t start talking, I will…”
Before he could finish his sentence, the woman was already on the verge of tears, her pitiful appearance was even more delicate than Xu Wei’s, evoking immediate sympathy.
However, Chen Dengming only had a moment of distraction before he steeled his resolution.
His Sword Dao was complete, and his intention was like a sword, how could he be easily fooled?
He immediately shouted in anger.
“Demon!
You dare bewitch me!”
With no woman in his heart, he drew his sword with godly precision!
He abruptly raised his hand and struck out with his sword.
The intense and surging Sword Qi instantly made the two rows of lit candles flicker before they extinguished…
…
