Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams-Chapter 241 - 181: Cyan Yuan Sword Nurturing Gourd (6)
Luo Yao saw this, her expression solemn as she spoke.
Cultivators refine their hearts.
The five pests and seven desires accompany them for life.
If the mind’s state is lost, one of the five pests or seven desires will seize the opportunity to grow rapidly and take control.
A cultivator at this time is said to be "Fallen into Demon".
Mountain Master He was already twisted psychologically and bloodthirsty due to his body’s condition.
Now, with the war beast that accompanied him for over a century slain, his mind’s state momentarily faltered, showing signs of falling into demon.
Luo Yao continuously formed spells with both hands, and the spiritual power in her surged madly.
All around, the pervasive fog churned, gradually emitting a dull clanking of chains.
Soon, chains of fog shot out from the surrounding dense fog, instantly wrapping around Mountain Master He!
Those chains tied Mountain Master He up like a zongzi, slowly tightening around him!
Yet Mountain Master He remained unmoved.
The black evil qi on him grew more intense, causing his entire body to tremble violently, and the whites of his long eyes gradually disappeared!
"Roar!"
When the whites in his eyes completely vanished, his four-foot-tall body suddenly erupted with a terrifying evil qi!
The black evil qi enveloped him like burning flames!
The numerous chains of fog summoned by Luo Yao burst in an instant, dispersing into the sky as mist.
Affected by this, Luo Yao’s face turned slightly pale, and she staggered, nearly falling.
Shen Wen’an, seeing this, quietly pulled Wei Qiuling, who was beside him, behind him, and then drew the Dragon-Slaying Magical Sword.
"Let me try him..."
Gong Cheng’s expression turned heavy, and he immediately formed a spell, summoning one huge meteor after another to smash down on Mountain Master He!
But before these meteors fully descended, Mountain Master He, engulfed in black evil qi, rushed up with extreme speed!
A black shadow flashed swiftly, and the huge meteors summoned by Gong Cheng erupted into pieces in the air!
After rapidly shattering these meteors, Mountain Master He charged directly at Gong Cheng!
Gong Cheng reacted quickly, immediately raising a firm, earth-yellow high wall in front of him!
Unfortunately, this sturdy high wall, in the face of the Fallen into Demon Mountain Master He, was like paper, instantly smashed through!
"Junior Brother Gong, be careful!"
Luo Yao saw this and immediately cast a soft force, pushing Gong Cheng away to a distant place!
The black-shadowed Mountain Master He, having missed his strike, abruptly turned in an incredible maneuver, killing towards Shen Wen’an and Wei Qiuling.
At this moment, he had completely lost all reason.
His actions were entirely driven by instinct and obsession.
Golden Flame Mountain Monarch died under Shen Wen’an’s sword; his obsession was to kill Shen Wen’an.
He had just attacked Gong Cheng because Gong Cheng attacked him. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
"Junior Brother, be careful."
Seeing Mountain Master He charging over, Wei Qiuling behind Shen Wen’an formed spells, generating a large number of wooden spears before her, to crash into the swiftly attacking Mountain Master He!
But a black light streaked past, and those indestructible wooden spears exploded mid-air!
Wei Qiuling’s face stiffened suddenly, seemingly not expecting Mountain Master He to become so terrifying.
She immediately summoned numerous long vines to wrap around him!
Meanwhile, Shen Wen’an and Luo Yao attacked simultaneously.
Wielding the Dragon-Slaying Magical Sword, he formed sword qi tides before him, sweeping towards Mountain Master He!
Luo Yao continuously waved her hand, and the surrounding pervasive fog fired spear after spear towards Mountain Master He’s back!
Cornered from the front and back, Mountain Master He completely abandoned defense, enduring the fog spears’ attacks as he charged at Shen Wen’an!
His body was continually pushed back by the sword qi tide, yet he kept charging forward!
Seeing this, Shen Wen’an narrowed his eyes slightly, his Dragon-Slaying Magical Sword flickered with a green light and stabbed out!
Mountain Master He instinctively raised his hand to block!
The Dragon-Slaying Magical Sword pierced through his palm instantly, yet he grabbed it tightly!
Shen Wen’an frowned.
A trace of cunning flashed across the face of Mountain Master He, shrouded in black evil qi, as he grabbed the Dragon-Slaying Magical Sword, swung it fiercely, and as Shen Wen’an was flung away, his figure flashed, and his other hand fiercely struck towards Wei Qiuling!
A cyan Spiritual Power Shield suddenly rose on the surface of Wei Qiuling’s body, attempting to block the unexpected attack!
Boom!
The cyan shield was directly shattered by Mountain Master He, and his hand, enveloped in black aura, continued unabated to hit her abdomen!
Puff!
Wei Qiuling was immediately struck and flew backwards, spraying a large mist of blood while still mid-air!
This scene seemed to instantly awaken something inside Shen Wen’an!
The anger and worry in his eyes vanished in an instant, replaced by an icy indifference!
Like a completely different person, Shen Wen’an slowly raised his left hand, bringing his index and middle fingers together, tracing along the sword hilt towards the tip of the Dragon-Slaying Magical Sword.
Where his fingers passed, the crimson Dragon-Slaying Magical Sword began to emit a misty Spiritual Charm.
When his two fingers stroked past the tip, the Dragon-Slaying Magical Sword seemed to come alive, letting out a joyful dragon’s roar and suddenly soaring away!
Roar!
The crimson Dragon-Slaying Magical Sword, like a three-foot Divine Dragon, emitted a loud dragon howl as it instantly pierced Mountain Master He’s body!
As the dust settled, a crimson long sword was embedded in Mountain Master He’s chest, and the black aura all over his body gradually dissipated.
Shen Wen’an’s eyes were tightly closed, his mind repeatedly replaying the scene of that earlier sword strike.
He vaguely understood that it was likely Wei Qiuling’s injury that triggered the Sword Soul Power of the sword holder within him.
That sword strike earlier was beyond the realm his current level could manifest.
The ability to seemingly bestow life and soul upon a long sword, perhaps only those in the Sword Immortal Realm could access it.
Returning from that realm, Shen Wen’an found that at this moment Luo Yao was guarding Wei Qiuling, engaged in healing.
"How is Senior Sister’s injury?"
Shen Wen’an approached and inquired.
Luo Yao shook her head slightly and said, "The injury has affected the Immortal Embryo, for someone else, it might have been very troublesome."
"But Qiuling’s Immortal Embryo is forged with Innate Wood Essence Qi, so it’s not too severe this time. With some time, she should be able to recover."
When Shen Wen’an nodded, Wei Qiuling had already woken up.
"I’m fine."
Meeting Shen Wen’an’s concerned gaze, she said with a faint smile.
Feeling secretly fortunate in her heart.
If it weren’t for the Immortal Embryo forged from a strand of Innate Wood Essence Qi, being hit by Mountain Master He’s palm just now would have ended her cultivation path completely.
"This old man’s body sure had quite a few nice things."
At this time, Gong Cheng had already scavenged through the belongings on Mountain Master He and approached the trio with a cheerful expression.
Luo Yao glanced, then extended her hand to take the cyan-black gourd and handed it to Shen Wen’an, saying, "This item seems more suitable for you."
Shen Wen’an accepted the gourd, curiously giving it a glance.
When he had faced Mountain Master He earlier, he had noticed this gourd.
A cultivator like Mountain Master He, an Immortal Dao Cultivator, could summon a Black Light from this gourd that was more formidable than his own Sword Control Skill.
Now, as the cyan-black gourd landed in his hand, Shen Wen’an felt its weight, completely unlike an ordinary gourd, and couldn’t help but ask with curiosity, "Elder Luo, what is this?"
Luo Yao was taken aback by the question and replied curiously, "You don’t know what this is?"
Shen Wen’an shook his head.
Despite his current strength rivaling that of a Middle to Late Stage of Fetal Breathing cultivator, he was not well-versed in many aspects of the Cultivation Realm.
Luo Yao seemed to understand that he hadn’t been cultivating for long, and immediately smiled and said, "This item is called a Sword Nurturing Gourd."
"It’s a useful item for Sword Cultivators to nurture their Magic Swords."
"Mountain Master He’s Sword Nurturing Gourd is named the Cyan Yuan Sword Nurturing Gourd, from the same Ancient Cultivator’s Mansion as my Cloud River Practice."
"It’s a pity he wasn’t a Sword Cultivator, unable to fully utilize the power of this gourd. Now that it’s in your hands, this treasure has truly met its worthy owner."
Upon hearing this, a trace of joy arose in Shen Wen’an’s heart.
So this thing is called a Sword Nurturing Gourd!
"Inside the gourd, there’s also a Flying Sword, which is the Black Light that old man summoned earlier. After you refine it, you can claim it as your own. In the future, if you have other Flying Swords, you can also place them in the gourd to nurture them."
Luo Yao reminded him.
Shen Wen’an nodded, immediately fastening the gourd at his waist.
"We’ll check the other items later; for now, let’s go and see what treasure this old man was desperately trying to destroy."
As Luo Yao spoke, she waved her hand to dispel the Fog-Locked Thousand Peaks, preparing to lead the three in searching the surroundings.
