468: Chapter 468 Spirituality

"Going alone?" Liu Xuan's anger faded, and he looked at his fourth son with a calm gaze.

Daocheng's heart skipped a beat. He wasn't afraid of his father when he was angry, but that calm gaze now gave him immense psychological pressure.

"Father! I've thought it through. Leading troops into battle really isn't for me. I can't let my brothers and sisters follow me into such danger."

"However!" He looked up directly at his father and said firmly, "I am a Sword Cultivator. I must have the will to forge ahead. How can I be timid and hesitant?"

"The Dao of the sword knows no retreat or evasion. Where the intent goes, the sword follows. For a Sword Cultivator, what matters is the heart's intent and the Aura. This is my Dao!"

"You should know that a towering tree cannot grow in a greenhouse. I cannot grow under your protection forever!"

After speaking, Daocheng lowered his head, waiting for his father's reprimand. Knowing his father, Liu Xuan would surely not agree.

The atmosphere in the room remained frozen for a long time before Liu Xuan's flat voice sounded, "Have you clearly considered the consequences?"

Daocheng was stunned for a moment then nodded firmly. "I have. A Dao of the sword without the tempering of life and death is always lacking something. I won't do something that has no future!"

"Very well!" Liu Xuan waved his hand, and ten tier 2 medium grade thousand star flying swords flew out from his sleeve simultaneously.

While his fourth son watched in dazed shock, nine of the Flying Swords fused with the one in his hand. A brilliant spiritual light flashed, and the Flying Sword was promoted to a tier 2 High Grade Flying Sword.

"Your cultivation is only at the Early Foundation Establishment Stage, so a tier 2 High Grade Flying Sword is already quite a strain for you. This will suffice for now!"

Liu Xuan took out a token with a pink Peach Blossom mark and threw it to him. "This is a Peach Blossom Demon Lord token. With it, you can seek help. Many True Monarchs and even Demon Lords of the Demon Court will spare your life."

"But remember, do not treat it as an absolute protection charm. Try not to take it out unless it's a life-or-death situation."

The fourth son took the token and examined the patterns on it closely, exclaiming, "Father really does have a thing with the Peach Blossom Demon Lord, to even be able to get a token like this!"

He put the token into his Storage Ring and looked at Liu Xuan expectantly. "Are there any other treasures? Just bring them all out."

Liu Xuan actually did take out a few tier 2 top-grade Talismans and several kinds of tier 2 top-grade Medicinal Pills.

"Your Realm is too low. Even if I gave you treasures, you wouldn't be able to use them. Just make do with these."

Liu Xuan tossed them all to him and said indifferently, "What I lack least here are Cultivate resources. I don't object to you going out to gain experience, but there's no need to risk your life for petty gains!"

"Get out!"

A gust of strong wind appeared out of nowhere. Before Daocheng could even finish picking up the items, he and the pile of things were sent flying out of the room.

The room fell silent. Liu Xuan used his Divine Thought to contact Immortal Master Bone Fiend at Pingding Mountain, ordering him to come immediately and protect his fourth son in secret.

Now, the Beast Taming Sect and the Endless Demon Court were in an all-out war, and the front line was extremely long.

It seemed intense, but as long as one didn't participate in the key assaults on Spiritual Veins, the danger level in other places was actually much lower than it had been on the Peach Blossom Sect battlefield.

The fourth son wasn't leading troops; he was going to the front line as an adventurous Cultivator taking on mercenary-like missions.

War was not a simple confrontation between two armies. The adventurous Cultivators who were numerous and went deep into the Demon Court's territory to execute missions played a role no less important than the military formation Cultivators.

adventurous Cultivators faced lower risks and had unstable incomes, but the tempering effect was excellent. This was the fundamental reason why Liu Xuan agreed to let his fourth son go.

Although the fourth son was unreliable, he was right about one thing: a towering tree cannot grow in a greenhouse, especially in a path of slaughter like the Dao of the sword.

'Immortal Master Bone Fiend's overall strength is around the Mid Golden Core Stage. If I give him some high-level life-saving items, he can escape even when facing a Late Golden Core Stage Immortal Master.'

'If he still can't protect the fourth son even with that, then it can only be blamed on his bad luck!'

With over six hundred children, as they grew up, each had their own ideas. Liu Xuan could only guide them; he couldn't completely arrange their lives.

Thinking no more of it, Liu Xuan took a step forward and instantly vanished from the room, appearing inside the Star Space.

Star Space.

Quiet Room.

Liu Xuan once again took out the Thousand Star Unity Sword. After many days of nurturing it, he had gained a deeper understanding of this sword.

The Thousand Star Sword could divide into a million, and while every tier 2 medium grade Flying Sword seemed identical, there were subtle differences among the one thousand Third-rank Mid-grade Magic Treasure Flying Swords that formed the aggregate.

Simply put, there were one thousand core charms within the thousand star flying swords. One thousand ordinary tier 2 medium grade Flying Swords could not aggregate into a Third-rank Mid-grade Magic Treasure Flying Sword; there had to be at least one 'charm'.

"No wonder it's called Thousand Star. So that's what it means!"

Besides the one thousand charm cores, there was also a most crucial trace of spirituality. This spirituality was both the core for aggregating into the fourth-rank medium-grade Thousand Star Sword and the key to controlling it.

"As long as I can fully comprehend a single charm core, I'll be able to refine ordinary tier 2 medium grade thousand star flying swords, and even aggregate them into Third-rank Mid-grade Magic Treasure Flying Swords!"

"Although they can't be integrated into the fourth-rank medium-grade Thousand Star Unity Sword to increase its overall power, they can serve as supplements, so I won't have to worry about the tier 2 Flying Swords being damaged."

"If I can comprehend its most crucial trace of spirituality, perhaps I could replicate another fourth-rank medium-grade Thousand Star Unity Sword, or even upgrade it to Ten Thousand Stars!"

The reason Liu Xuan was so invested in the Thousand Star Unity Sword was that it was extremely marvelous. Every charm was a pure embryonic form of the Law of the sword. A Sword Cultivator could directly refine it into their life-bound Flying Sword or fuse it with their original life-bound Flying Sword as a buff.

According to the information from the System, if one could Cultivate one thousand Golden Core Sword Cultivators, each holding a Third-rank Mid-grade Thousand Star Magic Treasure Flying Sword, and have a Nascent Soul Sword Cultivator who has mastered the Law of the sword presiding over them, once the Sword Domain was deployed, they would be invincible below the Soul Transformation stage!

One thousand Golden Core Sword Cultivators wasn't a necessary condition. If some were at the Mid Golden Core Stage or Late Golden Core Stage, the number could be reduced.

This was truly impressive!

A Nascent Soul sword Sect like the Heavenly Sword Sect could meet these conditions. If Heavenly Sword True Monarch possessed the Thousand Star Unity Sword, he probably wouldn't be so low-key!

The Liu Family couldn't meet the conditions for now, but it was only a matter of time. They would easily reach it in the future.

*Buzz~*

A chaotic primal light shone as the heavenly origin sword flew out of Liu Xuan's body, and the two Flying Swords merged.

A moment later, the heavenly origin sword transformed into a wisp of chaotic primal sword light and entered the Thousand Star Unity Sword. The originally jade-white Flying Sword was stained with a trace of chaotic primal color.

"Not bad, not bad!"

A look of joy appeared on Liu Xuan's face. By fusing the heavenly origin sword with the core trace of spirituality in the Thousand Star Unity Sword, he could use it to nurture the heavenly origin sword while also deepening his control over the Thousand Star Unity Sword.

"Wait! The Thousand Star Unity Sword originally has no attributes. Once my cultivation breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage, it will become part of the heavenly origin sword; there will be no difference between the two."

A treasure of the Dao of the sword! The Heavenly Sword Sect and Chongming Sect were both sword Sects, yet Liu Xuan had never heard of them having a sword of this level.

The Thousand Star Unity Sword turned into a streak of light and flew into Liu Xuan's body. A soaring Sword Intent naturally radiated from him.

Then, this Aura gradually retracted and finally returned to tranquility, leaving only a faint, aloof, and otherworldly temperament unique to Sword Cultivators.
