Chapter 487: Nurturing the Intrinsic Flying Sword
Translator: CKtalon Editor: CKtalon
It was already late at night by the time Qin Yun returned to the Great Chang world.
The night happened to be after a heavy snowstorm so it was extremely cold.
Qin Yun walked through the snow-clad back garden, producing crunching noises. Yi Xiao and Qin Yiyi, who were having an evening chat, rushed over to receive him.
"Dad!" Qin Yiyi shouted from afar beaming. Yi Xiao also relaxed and smiled when she saw Qin Yun walking over.
"Why haven’t you gone to bed yet?" asked Qin Yun.
"I was waiting for you, Dad! How can a daughter sleep when her father is out dealing with Old Fiend Fire Puppet?" Qin Yiyi said with a smile before she pressed, "By the way, Dad, did you manage to kill Old Fiend Fire Puppet on your trip to Dragon Mountain world?"
Qin Yun shook his head gently. "He escaped."
"Escaped?" Yi Xiao asked perplexed. "Was his strength greater than expected?"
"Not really. It happened that there was an eighth firmament Skyfiend and an eighth firmament Skydemon visiting Old Fiend Fire Puppet. Therefore, I had to fight one against three!" said Qin Yun.
Yi Xiao was alarmed. "One against three?"
"The eighth firmament Skyfiend was General Roc Fiend. The eighth firmament Skydemon was Demon King Prestige Goat," said Qin Yun.
There was a limited number of experts that could reach the seventh firmament and higher in the Effulgent dominion! Of the many Daoists, Buddhists, Heavenly Courts, and fiends, those that reached such realms were rather famous experts. Yi Xiao and Qin Yiyi had learned of the top experts in the Effulgent dominion through Qin Yun. They even knew a little of some of the mighty figures in the Three Realms.
"It was the two of them? Isn’t Prestige Goat a demon? The fiends kill all but Prestige Goat actually joined forces with those other two Skyfiends?" inquired Yi Xiao.
"Most demons do not dare about colluding with Skyfiends." Qin Yun chuckled coldly. "However, Prestige Goat actually went to the Dragon Mountain world. He likely had a close relationship with Roc Fiend and Old Fiend Fire Puppet. He even dared to join forces with the two fiends to fight me! To act in such unbridled fashion in front of me, you can only imagine how bloodthirsty and overbearing he must have been. It’s no wonder he was plagued by heinous sins."
"Dad, you aren’t injured, right?" Qin Yiyi was a little worried.
Yi Xiao also looked worriedly at Qin Yun.
Upon seeing his wife and daughter looking worried, Qin Yun said with a smile, "Don’t worry. I managed to slay Prestige Goat despite fighting one against three. It’s just a pity that Roc Fiend and Old Fiend Fire Puppet managed to escape."
"Dad!" Qin Yiyi widened her eyes as she exclaimed, "You still managed to kill Prestige Goat despite fighting one against three?"
"Yes, now go to bed," urged Qin Yun.
"Dad, come on, tell me more. A battle of such scale is rare. Besides, you fought one against three," said Qin Yiyi as she reeled in anticipation.
"Go rest," Qin Yun said firmly.
Qin Yiyi pouted. "Okay."
"However, you are truly formidable, Dad. Alright, I’ll go back to my room," said Qin Yiyi who could not conceal her excitement. With a tap of her foot, she flew towards her residence.
"This girl." Qin Yun smiled as he watched his daughter depart.
"It’s quite harrowing this time," said Yi Xiao. "You should have investigated the enemy’s strength first, but you immediately found yourself stuck in an ant’s nest. You even fought one against three..."
"How could I have investigated?" Qin Yun shook his head. "Roc Fiend and Prestige Goat’s appearance there was meant to be a secret. When I arrived, it was already too late to research them and then the fighting began."
"You should have turned away and left. You could have waited for another time," said Yi Xiao.
"Who knows how long Roc Fiend and Prestige Goat intended to stay there for?" said Qin Yun with a smile. "I should take action when necessary. The three of them did not have what it takes to make me turn away."
Yi Xiao chuckled. "Yes, you are the best. Let’s return to our room."
Qin Yun said with a smile, "I obtained a wonder at Star Cluster Hall. I have to enter seclusion quickly to nurture my Intrinsic Flying Sword. An hour should be sufficient. You head on back first."
"What’s the wonder?" asked Yi Xiao out of curiosity.
"I’ll tell you when I’m back. In short, it’s a huge treasure." Qin Yun found it hard to conceal his excitement.
Qin Yun had reaped quite a huge harvest at the Dragon Mountain world, but he was still able to remain composed.
But the Connate Wonder, Chaos Pure Gold, had indeed made Qin Yun’s blood boil in excitement. After all, such a wonder was something even mighty figures would think of means to obtain. They could be considered the inchoate kernel of a Connate Numinous treasure. After all, one could only refine Connate Numinous treasures with Connate Wonders. Heavenly Lord of Numinous Treasure could definitely refine a Connate Numinous treasure with such a large piece of Chaos Pure Gold if he put his mind to it.
...
In his chamber.
Qin Yun sat cross-legged on a mat.
"Out."
Qin Yun held the yellow-skinned calabash. With a thought, a stream of light flew out of the calabash’s mouth. It rapidly expanded into a hunk of Chaos Pure Gold that was half the height of a person. Qin Yun released his Dao domain to protect the area. This chamber had been specially constructed by Qin Yun. It was augmented by array formations and was able to block the emission of the Chaos Pure Gold’s natural aura.
However, some items in the chamber, such as the mat, incense burner, or portraits, could not withstand its might.
The Dao domain’s protection was firstly to protect the items, and secondly, prevent outsiders from sneaking up on him.
"The materials needed to nurture my Intrinsic Flying Sword can be considered quality, but I have never been extravagant enough to use Connate Wonders to nurture it." Qin Yun looked at the Chaos Pure Gold. "Besides, among the Connate Wonders, Chaos Pure Gold is probably the best material to nurture an Intrinsic Flying Sword."
Out of the Five Elements, a flying sword was of the metal element.
Chaos Pure Gold... was definitely the most suitable item among the Connate Wonders to nurture an Intrinsic Flying Sword.
It was too extravagant!
It could massively change the flying sword in a qualitative manner.
"Alright."
Qin Yun waved his hand gently as a wisp of misty rain flew out of his fingertip. What was none other than his superior-grade Intrinsic Flying Sword, Misty Rain Sword, flew above the Chaos Pure Gold.
"To use the Chaos Pure Gold as a resource, I still need to use the specialized formulation Master bestowed me." Qin Yun immediately used his Dharmic powers to circulate the formulation. He saw a black-and-white chart surface over the Misty Rain Sword. It enveloped the Chaos Pure Gold beneath it, and immediately, bits of golden points of light flew up. Each light dot was filled with infinite sharpness as though they were purer than the sun’s rays.
These fragmentary golden points of light flew into the black-and-white chart and fused with the Misty Rain Sword.
Hum!
The Misty Rain Sword hummed as it trembled after absorbing a wisp.
Clearly, the act of absorbing affected it greatly.
It was able to draw upon the Chaos Pure Gold directly partially because of Heavenly Lord of Numinous Treasure’s mystic formulation. Another reason was that the Intrinsic Flying Sword was a superior-grade Numinous treasure. It had a rather robust foundation.
"I can sense my Intrinsic Flying Sword transforming rapidly. The aid the Connate Wonder, Chaos Pure Gold, gives my flying sword is indeed astonishing." Qin Yun marveled as he waited in anticipation.
******
Effulgent Great World. Bear Mountain.
While Qin Yun was beginning to nurture his Intrinsic Flying Sword back in his homeworld, Demon King Bear Mountain was cultivating in seclusion.
"Boom!!!"
Bear Mountain sat cross-legged amid a plume of blue flames.
"Oh?" Bear Mountain’s eyelids twitched as he opened his eyes.
The blue flames that enveloped his body rapidly fused back into him. A flame mark surfaced on his body, and after it absorbed the blue flames, it vanished.
"What happened?" Bear Mountain waved his hand as the void beside him rippled open. He looked at the other end of the void where a white wolf demon stood.
"Junior Brother Bai Chong, what’s the matter?" asked Bear Mountain with a frown.
"Senior Brother Bear Mountain, have you not been to Green Touring Palace?" The white wolf demon said immediately, "It has spread in Green Touring Palace, especially among the many demons of our Effulgent dominion."
"What do you speak of?" asked Bear Mountain.
Green Touring Palace was very mysterious in the Three Realms. Even mighty figures could not find it.
Green Touring Palace disciples had to rely on the disciple mark’s guidance before they could enter.
And normal means of communication could only be done in the same dominion! If one was in Green Touring Palace, there was no way to contact the exterior world.
Similarly, the exterior world had no way of communicating with Green Touring Palace.
The white wolf demon had returned to his lair before contacting Bear Mountain.
"Prestige Goat is dead!" said the white wolf demon immediately. "He was killed by Qin Yun!"
"What?" Bear Mountain found it unbelievable. "Prestige Goat is dead? Are you certain?"
"Yes, it happened today, not very long ago."
