169: Open up and raise a sword, quickly promoted

Looking at the identification information of the two light orbs, Mo Fan's expression turned strange.

"A monster core and demon core containing the power of Law?"

"Isn't this what is known as a Law seed?"

He hadn't expected the jade sword to not only absorb the sword dao Law power from the Void Breaking sword, but also extract the Law power from the Monster Corpse and demon corpse along the way.

"This ability is a bit Heaven-Defying—"

Mo Fan sighed.

The jade sword was brought over by his daughter from the future.

It was said to be a token of love from his Future Wife.

The attribute panel that allowed him to add points only appeared after the jade sword appeared.

Before, when opening his Qi Sea and constructing his martial dao foundation embryo, the jade sword had also helped from the side.

Now, it could even actively appear to absorb the power of Law.

"Too strong!"

"It's just that I can't control it yet and have to treat it like a Master, so I don't know if I can use it as a weapon in the future!"

Thinking of this, Mo Fan was somewhat tempted.

"This thing is ridiculously strong; holding it, I'm afraid I could easily hack a Supreme to death!"

After letting his thoughts run wild, Mo Fan focused his gaze on the light orbs.

Obviously, for monsters and demons, these two light orbs were priceless treasures, things they would exhaust their entire clan's power to obtain.

For Mo Fan, these things were useless; they just took up space in his Qi Sea.

"I'll keep them for now; maybe they'll be useful in the future."

Mo Fan shook his head, withdrew his consciousness from the Qi Sea space, and stared at the Monster Corpse and demon corpse again.

Although the Law power on the Monster Corpse and demon corpse no longer existed, they did not dissipate because of it; they still stood in the stone chamber, as if they were guards defending the palace.

The Void Breaking sword on the side had disappeared completely, as if it had never appeared.

After all, it was a sword condensed from the power of sword dao Law and had no physical form. Now that the sword dao Law had dissipated, the Void Breaking sword naturally ceased to exist.

Along with it went the Sword Qi and Sword Intent that had originally filled the entire space.

After carefully sensing, Mo Fan discovered that there wasn't even a wisp of Sword Qi left in the stone chamber.

"It's better that it's gone; when the Seal space is destroyed, I won't have to feel bad."

"It's just that my plan for cultivating sword has to be shelved again—"

"Is it possible that I am truly not destined to be a Sword Immortal?"

Mo Fan felt helpless, thinking his path of sword dao was too bumpy.

At first, it was because he lacked a sword dao physique and couldn't Cultivate sword inside his body.

Later, he obtained the Guiyuan Sword Canon, which solved the Physique problem, but the plan was shelved again due to a lack of resources for cultivating sword.

"So, when will I be able to become a Sword Immortal?"

As a Wuxia fan, Mo Fan still yearned for things like "Sword Qi spanning thirty thousand miles, one sword chilling nineteen provinces."

Unfortunately, things went against his wishes, and he had never been able to properly Cultivate sword dao.

That said, he could Cultivate sword at the Sword Pavilion.

But now, Liu Xiyan and Xu Jing were both crazily absorbing the Sword Qi of the Sword Pavilion.

The speed of both was terrifying, and with them cultivating sword at the same time, the Sword Pavilion was already unable to keep up with the demand.

If he added himself, who was even more monstrous, the Sword Pavilion probably wouldn't last a year before being ruined.

By then, the three of them would just be staring at each other, and none of them would be able to become a Sword Immortal.

Thinking of this, Mo Fan shook his head, feeling that his fate was full of twists and turns.

"It seems there's no chance to 'one sword chilling nineteen provinces' for now!"

Finally, he glanced at the stone chamber, released his Mental Energy to sense carefully, and after confirming there was not a trace of Sword Intent or Sword Qi, Mo Fan took out his token, preparing to teleport out.

However, just at this moment, he seemed to think of something. His expression froze, and he hurriedly used his consciousness to enter his Qi Sea again, locking directly onto the jade sword deep within the star sea.

The jade sword was domineering, emitting a lustrous glow, its light flickering uncertainly, as if it were pulling at the rise and fall of countless galaxies in the star sea.

The jade sword seemed to be the heart of the star sea, concerning its life and death.

Mo Fan thought of the scene when he first opened his Qi Sea.

At that time, the Qi Sea he had opened was extinguished for some reason, and the sky was pitch black.

In the end, it was the jade sword that appeared, cutting through the darkness and relighting the star sea.

If not for that, even if Mo Fan had successfully opened the star sea into a Qi Sea, what he would have obtained would only have been a dead, lifeless Qi Sea, the quality of which would be far from what it was today.

Of course, Mo Fan's focus now was not on this, but on those wisps of aura drifting from the depths of the star sea, carrying a trace of chill.

Mo Fan was all too familiar with these auras; they were precisely Sword Qi and Sword Intent.

"The jade sword can actually emit Sword Qi?" Mo Fan was astonished.

"Is this a change produced after absorbing the sword dao Law from the Void Breaking sword?"

"Not only Sword Qi, but also Sword Intent, and the quality is even stronger than what the Void Breaking sword emitted—"

Astonished as he was, Mo Fan still subconsciously circulated the Sword Nurturing Art and the Guiyuan Sword Canon.

With a hum, the scattered Sword Qi floating out from the jade sword quickly gathered by Mo Fan's side, condensing into a stream, repeatedly tempered, constantly purified, and continuously strengthened.

The Sword Intent, the moment it came into contact with Mo Fan's Mental Energy, disintegrated with a boom, turning into wisps of pure Sword Qi, which also quickly gathered, were repeatedly tempered, and kept strengthening.

Repeatedly tempered, constantly strengthened.

One wisp of pure Sword Qi.

Two wisps of pure Sword Qi.

Three wisps of pure Sword Qi.

In the end, 126,000 wisps of pure Sword Qi gathered, crisscrossing and weaving into order, finally condensing into a strand of Sword Intent infused with Mo Fan's will.

One strand of Sword Intent condensed.

Two strands of Sword Intent condensed.

Three strands of Sword Intent condensed.

...

When 126,000 strands of Sword Intent are condensed and tempered a thousand times, one can communicate with the momentum of heaven and earth, achieving Perfection in cultivating sword, and slash the firmament with a sword.

"The Sword Qi and Sword Intent produced by the jade sword can actually be used for cultivating sword—"

Mo Fan couldn't believe what he was seeing, suspecting he was having hallucinations.

But his rapidly increasing sword dao cultivation told him that all this was real; the jade sword had truly undergone a transformation, becoming even more unfathomable!

"Great!"

Mo Fan was overjoyed.

Now, he was equivalent to carrying a mobile Sword Pavilion and could Cultivate sword without restraint!

He earnestly absorbed the Sword Qi and Sword Intent.

Mo Fan made a rough estimation.

"Although the quality of the Sword Qi and Sword Intent emitted by the jade sword is very high, the output is a bit insufficient—"

"At this rate of cultivating sword, it will take about a year to reach Perfection in cultivating sword."

Mo Fan was thoughtful and finally nodded.

"A year is just about right."

"A year later, my martial dao cultivation might be able to reach Supreme."

"By then, being a dual Supreme in sword dao and martial dao will definitely be ridiculously strong!"

Thinking this, Mo Fan left a wisp of consciousness in the Qi Sea space, instinctively circulating the Sword Nurturing Art and the Guiyuan Sword Canon to continue cultivating sword.

Because the generated Sword Qi and Sword Intent were right in his Qi Sea, there was no need for any guidance; Mo Fan could level up just by idling, which was convenient, fast, and effortless.

With his consciousness returning to reality, Mo Fan did not delay any longer. He took out the token and activated the teleportation array, swooshing out of the Seal space and returning to the surface.

Taking deep breaths of fresh air, the experience of just a few short hours gave Mo Fan the illusion that a lifetime had passed.

He steadied himself and silently returned to his room to fall into a deep sleep.

"The matter of cultivating sword is resolved."

"The matter of the Monster Corpse and demon corpse is also resolved."

"I can now rest assured and prepare for the Breakthrough to Heavenly Fate!"

...

The next day.

Early in the morning.

Mo Fan, sporting two dark circles under his eyes, practiced the Golden Body Art facing the morning sun as usual.

"It's too miserable; the Red-Clothed Female Ghost has gotten so much stronger again—"

After leveling up twice last night, the combat power of the Red-Clothed Female Ghost had risen accordingly, and Mo Fan had been abused all night without any suspense.

"The Red-Clothed Female Ghost after using a sword is getting more and more ridiculous—" Mo Fan sighed.

"In the future, I'm afraid she'll be like the trial old man from the Hidden Sword Manor, able to split open an independent Small World with one sword!"

Thinking of this, Mo Fan immediately froze.

He seemed to have thought of something, and his expression turned strange.

"Is it possible that the so-called dream space is also an independent Small World?"

"If the Red-Clothed Female Ghost becomes strong enough to really split open the Small World with one sword, could she crawl out from inside?"

Thinking of this possibility, Mo Fan shuddered.

Too terrifying!

This feeling was the same as watching Sadako crawl out of a TV set!

A quarter of an hour passed quickly.

Mo Fan quickly finished washing up, prepared to go out to say goodbye to everyone at the Sword Pavilion, and leave Hidden Sword Peak directly.

The matter had come to an end.

He needed to start preparing for the Breakthrough to Heavenly Fate.

Of course, if there were no accidents, there was one more thing to deal with today.

Sure enough, as soon as he pushed open the door, he saw Liu Xiyan walking over in a hurry, and in a few steps, she arrived in front of him.

"What's the matter, Elder?" Mo Fan said nonchalantly.

"Something happened to the Seal space." Liu Xiyan said straightforwardly.

"What happened?" Mo Fan feigned astonishment.

"Come with me." Liu Xiyan shook her head and turned to head towards the back mountain.

Mo Fan focused and followed.

Before long, the two arrived at the back mountain.

At this moment, the Sect Head, the Elders, and the Grand Elder were gathered again, talking silently.

Getting closer and passing through the isolation Magic Array, Mo Fan finally heard their voices.

"Why has that big sword in the Seal space disappeared?"

"Does the Law power inside the Monster Corpse and demon corpse also seem to have dissipated?"

"Not only has the big sword disappeared, but the Sword Qi and Sword Intent inside are also nowhere to be found."

"Why is this so?"

"Could someone have come in the middle of the night and stolen that big sword?"

"Could it be monsters or demons..." an Elder conjectured.

"Impossible. I left a surveillance Magic Array here. As long as any living creature approaches, I will be able to perceive it immediately. Moreover, since the last great battle, the loopholes in the Mountain Protecting Great Array have been repaired. No one can sneak into the academy silently anymore!"

"Could someone have bypassed Junior Martial Uncle Bai's surveillance Magic Array? And not been discovered?" the person asked again.

"Nonsense! I was once the Chixia Peak Master! I've studied Magic Arrays for over two hundred years! Although my attainment in Magic Arrays is not as good as Mo Fan's, I'm no slouch! No one can bypass my Magic Array silently!"

"As soon as one approaches the teleportation array, the Magic Array will take effect immediately and simultaneously trigger the Mountain Protecting Great Array!"

"At that time, with one rune marking from me, the strongest killing array contained within the Mountain Protecting Great Array will be activated, and even if a Supreme monster or demon comes, it will have to stay!"

"Can't even Mo Fan pass through the Magic Array you set up silently?" Someone, seeing Mo Fan walk over, suddenly asked him out of curiosity.

The former Chixia Peak Master couldn't help but be stunned. He also looked at Mo Fan and frowned, saying:

"No, even he can only forcibly break the array; it's impossible to bypass it. But there are no traces of the Magic Array being damaged!"

Hearing this, Mo Fan hurriedly nodded: "It really wasn't me."

"Uh, of course it wouldn't be you. They only say such things because they don't understand Magic Arrays." The old man shook his head, stopped paying attention to Mo Fan, and continued to discuss with the others.

Beside him, Liu Xiyan spread her hands to Mo Fan and whispered in his ear:

"You've seen it too; this is the current situation."

"The big sword inside the Seal space, along with the connected Sword Qi and Sword Intent, have disappeared into thin air."

"Besides that, the Law power inside the Monster Corpse and demon corpse has also disappeared."

Hearing this, Mo Fan nodded nonchalantly.

Liu Xiyan focused and continued:

"They asked me to bring you here because they want you to check the Magic Array and, by the way, go to the Seal space to see if there are any other connected entrances."

Seemingly thinking of something, Liu Xiyan explained:

"Because of the disappearance of the big sword and the dissipation of the Sword Qi and Sword Intent, the Seal space is no longer dangerous. Martial Artists below the Heavenly Fate cultivation can go in without danger."

"I see. Then I'll go with them to take a look in a while." Mo Fan nodded.

"Wait patiently for a while, let the Elders discuss it more." Liu Xiyan said with a smile.

"Okay." Mo Fan agreed.

...

Before long, the higher-ups finished their discussion and looked at Mo Fan together.

The former Chixia Peak Master looked at Mo Fan intently and said:

"Mo Fan, I am your Master's Master's Master's Master's Master, Bai He."

Hearing this, Mo Fan was stunned and said sheepishly: "Then what should I call you?"

Bai He was stunned, pondered for a long time, and finally waved his hand, saying: "You can just call me Elder Bai."

"Okay." Mo Fan nodded.

Elder Bai steadied himself and continued: "Your attainment in Magic Arrays is high. Now, follow us to the Seal space to take a look and check if there are any other entrances."

"No problem." Mo Fan agreed and followed the few Elders of the academy into the teleportation array, entering the Seal space.

...

An hour later, everyone teleported back, all with solemn expressions.

"Strange, there are no other entrances in the Seal space. Where did the big sword and the Law power on the Monster Corpse and demon corpse go?"

"This matter is too bizarre!"

"If it were obtained by monsters or demons, the consequences would be unimaginable..."

Everyone was at a loss.

Just at this moment, Liu Xiyan suddenly stepped forward and said: "Is there such a possibility?"

Everyone looked at her.

Liu Xiyan continued: "Whether it is that big sword or the Law power inside the Monster Corpse and demon corpse, they are all products of the previous epoch, having gone through who knows how many tens of thousands of years."

"During this period, they also went through the Age of Dharma Decline where Spiritual Qi was exhausted. After countless tens of thousands of years, with the changes of the world, the world is no longer the original world."

"Perhaps before, because of the protection of the Magic Array, those Law powers were able to be preserved."

"Now that the Magic Array has been broken, the Law power of another era is very likely to have been assimilated and absorbed by the Law power of this era, returning to nature."

"According to Junior Martial Uncle Wu's statement, that big sword was also condensed from the power of sword dao Law. As the world changes greatly, the Law may have already changed, being assimilated and absorbed, and it is not impossible for it to have completely disappeared."

Hearing these words, the Elders couldn't help but be stunned and became thoughtful.

"There really is this possibility, but there are still places that cannot be explained—"

Meanwhile, Sect Master glanced at Mo Fan's side nonchalantly and said with a normal expression: "I think Xiyan's statement is possible."

He focused and continued:

"Regardless, now that the Law power has disappeared, there is no need for a Supreme to take action. Any one of us can destroy the Seal space and destroy the Monster Corpse and demon corpse."

"I will contact the higher-ups to apply for the cancellation of the Supreme's mobilization, and at the same time, let the Demon Suppression Division and Demon Suppression Department pay more attention to the movements of monsters and demons, just in case."

"As for the matter of the Seal space, it will be handled by Junior Martial Uncle Bai."

"This matter ends here. Everyone, disperse."

After speaking, Sect Master flashed and disappeared.

Except for Bai He, the others also flashed and left one by one, disappearing.

Bai He looked at Mo Fan earnestly and said with a kindly smile: "I will go to deal with the Seal space first. When I have time, I will come to discuss Magic Arrays with you again—"

"Okay, I await your arrival at any time." Mo Fan said.
