366: Spirit Sword

"Martial God?! Foundation Establishment Stage, Level 7?! Evil Demon?!"

Long Yuan was so stunned by the keywords in this information that he saw stars. Good heavens, Prince An had actually broken through to the Martial God Realm without a sound, and he possessed excellent Aptitude for Cultivation; otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to reach the Foundation Establishment Stage, Level 7 solely through his own hard work!

"No wonder Prince An's status as a Genius is recognized by everyone. At his current age, he would undoubtedly be a top-tier Genius even in the Cultivation World. As for ordinary geniuses in the Cultivation World, if they didn't have a Master to guide them, they probably wouldn't even be able to find the entrance to Cultivation, would they?

Yet he was able to Cultivate to the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment all by himself. If he were in a Cultivation World, his current achievements would likely be far greater than just the Foundation Establishment Stage, Level 7!"

Long Yuan admired Prince An's status as a Genius immensely and gave him the highest praise!

People like Prince An, who possess excellent Aptitude, Physique, and intelligence, should be pioneers no matter where they are placed...

"Evil Demon?! Could it be someone from an evil cult?"

Long Yuan pondered, his eyes fixed on Prince An's movements. He noticed that Prince An's speed while using his Flying Sword wasn't very fast—certainly incomparable to his own—but in the current Great Ming, apart from the people in his Xuanji Tower, he was probably the only one capable of sword-flying, right?

Even Liu Rushi couldn't manage sword-flying right now, yet Prince An had managed to comprehend the technique of controlling a sword solely on his own. This showed just how terrifying his intelligence was...

Riding a long sword and controlling the wind, Prince An, draped in purple robes with long hair flowing and sleeves fluttering, looked like an Immortal soaring freely above the clouds...

Suddenly, his figure paused. The long sword slanted downwards, and he submerged into the sea of clouds. After a while, Prince An's figure appeared in the image again, and standing before him was a person confronting him from a distance!

[Name: Wolf Saint, founder of Blood Wolf Hall, this is his first Clone]

[Xuanwu Realm: Peak Martial King; Cultivation Realm: Foundation Establishment, Level 3;]

[Special Experience: Because the Wolf Saint's third Clone lost contact, the Wolf Saint dispatched his first Clone to investigate the Wind Wolf Mountain area...]

"It's actually the Wolf Saint's first Clone!"

Long Yuan was slightly shocked. He hadn't expected the Wolf Saint to discover that his third Clone had met with an accident so quickly and had already dispatched his first Clone to investigate. If he hadn't been intercepted by Prince An now, he probably would have reached Southern Yue City before long!

"Who are you? How can you stand on a sword?!"

The Wolf Saint's Clone asked, his eyes flickering as he stared at Prince An.

Prince An tossed his long hair in a flamboyant manner and snorted, "So it's a Blood Wolf! Judging by your strong Bloodline Power, could you be a direct descendant of the Blood Wolf clan?"

The Wolf Saint's Clone was startled upon hearing this. He hadn't expected the other party to see through his background at a glance; this Human Race member was too terrifying!

Especially seeing how he stood effortlessly on his Flying Sword, while he himself was barely holding on with one breath and would soon need to find a foothold below to remain in the air. Thinking of this, he turned and ran, not daring to utter a single word in response!

"Eh?! What are you afraid of? I don't eat wolf meat..."

Prince An called out.

"I was just wandering around. Since you are here, I won't come anymore..."

The voice of the Wolf Saint's Clone drifted from afar.

"Just wandering around? Wandering into my Great Ming territory without leaving something behind is inexcusable!"

Prince An snorted.

"Here you go!!!"

Following a roar from the Wolf Saint's Clone, several streaks of crystalline light flew toward Prince An. Prince An beckoned with his hand, caught all the crystalline lights, and looked at them in his palm. His eyes lit up, and he exclaimed softly, "Supernatural Ability Stones?!"

He looked at the receding figure and shouted, "I'll let you go this time. If you dare to come uninvited next time, I will definitely slay you!"

Having said that, he satisfiedly tucked those few "Supernatural Ability Stones" into his robes and continued to fly through the air...

"Spirit Stone? It seems to be a Mid-Grade Spirit Stone. I didn't expect the Wolf Saint's Clone to be so generous. However, in order to save his life, he naturally had to cater to Prince An's preferences; otherwise, Prince An wouldn't have let him escape so easily..."

Long Yuan thought to himself.

He immediately added the Wolf Saint's Clone to his blacklist; perhaps it might bring him a surprise later on...

Watching Prince An's elegant and dashing demeanor, Long Yuan couldn't help but feel envious. Apart from himself, no one would likely know what a shocking feat Prince An had just accomplished. He had scared off the Wolf Saint's first Clone with just one sentence—subduing the enemy without fighting. Such a record was far more illustrious than a great battle!

Furthermore, the main point of his envy was actually Prince An's Flying Sword. Ordinary long swords could not be used for sword-flying, and even the magical swords of the Cultivation World could not bear such a heavy responsibility. Only swords at the level of a Spiritual Artifact could be used as Flying Swords. Therefore, to fly on a sword, one first needed to possess a Spirit Sword!

And the Xuanhuang Sword under Prince An's feet seemed to have transformed into a Spirit Sword!

Long Yuan now possessed extensive knowledge of the Cultivation World. He could judge that the original Xuanhuang Sword was not a Spirit Sword, but merely a high-grade Xuan sword; it couldn't even be considered a magical sword. However, because it carried the Xuan Huang energy, under the long-term nourishment of the Xuan Huang energy, it had undergone a qualitative leap, transforming into a magical sword. Then, its quality continued to improve until it reached Prince An's hands, where, under the nourishment of Prince An's Xuanhuang Bloodline, it finally became a Spirit Sword!

And Prince An had finally obtained his own Flying Sword. Because of this, it was only natural that Prince An had figured out the technique of controlling a sword based on this blade.

"When will I be able to have a Flying Sword? Hmm, soon. I will forge one myself. The biggest problem right now is the Materials. As long as I collect good ores, I can use the equipment at the Sinkhole Base to forge a Spirit Sword..."

Long Yuan thought to himself.

With an entire base as his backing, he had enough confidence to bridge the time gap with Prince An. Prince An's Xuanhuang Sword had succeeded in its transformation thanks to over a thousand years of nourishment, while he could rely on the Artifact Refining techniques of the Cultivation World to forge one himself...

"Prince An coming out of seclusion is definitely a major event for Great Ming. Additionally, Prince An has already reached the Early Stage of the Martial God Realm and the Foundation Establishment Stage, Level 7. With his strength, he should be able to suppress the experts of the War Bear Country, right? If that's the case, then the situation on the Northern Front Line should also be able to improve. It seems I don't need to rush to the Northern Front Line to check it out..."

Thinking of this, Long Yuan couldn't help but feel greatly relieved. After all, people were dying every day on the Northern Front Line. Since he had the ability to solve it, he should go as soon as possible, but with Prince An there now, he didn't need to spend the time, and he could 'hide' and quietly develop, which was exactly what he needed most right now...

He simply stopped paying attention to Prince An's actions and, after quickly browsing through other information streams, began to focus on Cultivating...
