715: The third path to growth! A new and unique weapon.

"Well! What have you thought about the matter of the Sword Sect's inheritance?"

Su Lie looked at Su Qianqian and asked.

At the same time, he also took out the Sword Sect Token, the storage ring, and the Sword Sect Reconstruction Blueprints that he had obtained from the Sword Sect.

These three items were the foundation for rebuilding the Sword Sect, and they could only be used by the one who inherited the Sword Sect Token.

Su Lie cared the least about taking on one more karmic burden from the Sword Sect.

However, he truly did not have the energy to manage a sect.

So, he thought of Su Qianqian.

Su Qianqian let out a long breath. She sat down next to Su Lie, turned her head to look at the items on the table, and after a few seconds of silence, she said to Su Lie, "During this time, I've also thought about the rights and wrongs of our Formless Ghost Clan!"

"I discovered that after the Ancestor made contact with various clans, his original intention changed!"

...She spoke many words of sentiment and reflection.

Finally.

Su Qianqian grabbed the three items and said solemnly, "To be honest, the people of the Sword Sect are actually quite good! The disciples are also very hardworking! The people who harmed us back then are already dead; our grudge was settled long ago when we left the Tang Valley Demon Prison!"

"This is what we owe the Sword Sect!"

"I will pay this debt back!"

She seemed to be making an oath.

Su Lie pressed his hand down on Su Qianqian's hand, looking at her with dissatisfaction. "What the hell are you blaming yourself for? Do you think I called you over to take charge of the Sword Sect so you could pay back a debt?"

These words shook Su Qianqian's mind violently.

It also caused the emotions she had just prepared to vanish instantly.

She looked at Su Lie in confusion. "Master..."

She was speechless.

Su Lie shook his head. "You're wrong! I'm letting you take charge of the Sword Sect because you served as the Peak Master of Emperor Sword Peak; you have the qualifications to be the Sect Master!"

"It's not because you have a debt to pay, but because I need you to help me activate the Sword Sect and see what treasures are in the Sword Sect's legacy!"

"To be honest!"

"I fear no threat!"

"But I really don't have the energy to deal with this!"

...After Su Lie explained.

Su Qianqian finally came to a realization. Tears quietly fell from her eyes, and a wave of endless warmth surged in her heart. "Then, I'm doing this for you?"

"Yes! You are taking charge of the Sword Sect for my sake! This is the Sword Sect's glory! Otherwise, such an ancient and destroyed sect would have long since perished in the long river of history!"

Su Lie nodded in confirmation.

Hearing this, Su Qianqian's perspective shifted. "You mean... if I inherit the Sword Sect, it is the Sword Sect's honor, and their ancestors should be grateful to me!"

"Damn! Are you stupid? The Sword Sect is dead; you are the Sect Master of the New Sword Sect! Who are the ancestors of the Sword Sect? It's you! It's me! No one else!"

Su Lie corrected her again.

Su Qianqian's hand holding the Sword Sect inheritance couldn't help but tremble. "I... I..."

This gave her a strange feeling.

She couldn't describe this feeling.

But it held a different kind of thrill and excitement!

It was a sense of 'stealing' something!

Su Lie perceived Su Qianqian's thoughts and laughed triumphantly. "As one of my people, you must learn to think in reverse! Why should we, by reopening a sect in this era, have to inherit the kindness of predecessors and be grateful to those who came before?"

"No!"

"They should be grateful to us!"

"Thankful for our efforts, which allow their life's work to see the light of day again!"

"But all of this will no longer be the old ways; it will be a New Sword Sect!"

Under Su Lie's explanation, Su Qianqian finally shifted from her initial feelings of guilt and self-blame to her current state of excitement, anticipation, triumph, and pride.

Su Qianqian said with a smile, "My becoming the Lord of the Sword Sect is the glory of those old fogies!"

As she spoke.

She picked up the Sword Sect Token and activated it.

Hum!

In an instant, light burst from the Sword Sect Token.

A surge of the rules power split into two. One shot straight into the sky, appearing above the territory.

The other sank into Su Qianqian's brow.

Light flickered in the depths of Su Qianqian's eyes.

A vast amount of memories suddenly flooded into her mind.

Among these memories, there was actually a majestic consciousness mixed in.

"Haha! Finally escaped today! The brilliance of the Sword Sect shall be further carried forward by me, Jian Shiliu!"

The arrogant and excited voice of the Sword Sect Ancestor, Jian Shiliu, rang out.

As his consciousness eroded and covered Su Qianqian's mental awareness.

He paused for a moment. "It's a little girl! A little girl then! Anyway, this old man is a reckless one!"

But when he saw the scenes within Su Qianqian's memory.

Jian Shiliu's hair couldn't help but stand on end in anger. "Holy crap! It's actually an enemy... This way, this old man won't have any psychological burden!"

Just as he was about to go a step further.

He suddenly heard the sound of a lion's roar.

This power jolted his Spirit, and his consciousness instantly froze and stalled.

Su Lie, sensing that thick surge of power within Su Qianqian's mental thoughts, couldn't help but darken his expression. "Holy crap! A sect as big as the Sword Sect actually uses this memory possession trick! It's truly disgusting!"

As he spoke.

He used the Xuanhuang attribute instead of the Spirit attribute to unleash a Spirit Impact Skill.

Hum!

In the blink of an eye, the consciousness that had suppressed Su Qianqian to the point of having no power to resist actually let out a wail in this instant.

"Ah!"

Jian Shiliu was directly washed away by the space-time and fire the ruless carried within the Spirit Impact power, becoming a pure crystal of will.

The crystal melted instantly.

In the blink of an eye.

A majestic aura appeared on Su Qianqian's body.

Her Spirit attribute actually jumped from 100 Jing points directly to 1 extreme point.

The recovered Su Qianqian quickly digested the knowledge and memories stored in the Sword Sect Token.

In the next second.

Su Qianqian suddenly began to gasp for breath. She stared wide-eyed at Su Lie. "Master! I almost had my memory possessed! The Sword Sect Ancestor is too disgusting! What kind of righteous sect is this? It's clearly a demonic sect! Ptooey!"

"And to think I felt I owed the Sword Sect before, now..."

She couldn't help but start cursing.

Half an hour later.

Su Qianqian finally stood up and bowed to Su Lie, saying, "Thank you, Master, for saving my life!"

"What did you gain from it?"

Su Lie asked curiously.

Su Qianqian recalled her memories, and after thinking, she said to Su Lie, "A path of upgrading that is different from the current one! It doesn't require a Class Change. As long as a cultivation technique is awakened and one continues to practice it, they can constantly grow stronger!"

"Furthermore, this cultivation technique has no limit on the number of Talent Skills one can learn, but one can only learn sword-path Talents and Skills!"

"Additionally, to walk this path, one needs to undergo tribulations!"

"This is similar to every Class Change for a professional. A professional needs to complete trial missions to change classes. But this Sword Sect technique, called the Heavenly Sword True Scripture, requires one to cross a lightning tribulation brought by the mist rule at the peak of each stage to continue practicing!"

"If one cannot cross the lightning tribulation, they will perish. If they cross it, they can gain an increase in power!"

This path has nine realms in total, corresponding to the nine turns of a profession.

The first realm requires three lightning strikes, the second realm requires six, and the third realm requires nine.

The fourth realm requires eighteen, the fifth realm thirty-six, the sixth realm seventy-two, the seventh realm one hundred and eight, the eighth realm three hundred and sixty, and the ninth realm seven hundred and twenty.

When she reached this point.

Su Lie's eyes widened, and he asked excitedly, "How does the power increase?"

"The lightning tribulation is a calamity, but also a nectar! After crossing it, one can absorb the power of the lightning to temper themselves. Each lightning strike can give a Sword Cultivator a ten-thousand-fold overall increase in attributes!"

Su Qianqian responded directly.

Su Lie was immediately overjoyed. "Oh? Are the people who walk this path called Sword Cultivators? Can I walk this path?"

"You cannot! It's best for this path not to awaken bloodline power, or one can only awaken a main bloodline, but it's impossible for a professional who has already awakened bloodline affixes to walk this path!"

Su Qianqian's words completely extinguished the fantasy in Su Lie's heart.

Su Lie couldn't help but sigh, then he thought about it and laughed again. "Such a technique is indeed not bad! Liya, Yaqing, and the others haven't awakened bloodlines, so they can walk this path!"

Su Qianqian followed up by saying, "Master! Additionally, I also awakened a Luck attribute and a technique Talent, gaining 10 extreme points of Luck attribute value!"

"Hmm? That's a good thing! Having a Luck attribute will definitely be of great benefit to your future!"

Su Lie's eyes lit up as he laughed. "A technique Talent can allow you to awaken cultivation techniques!"

Following that.

Su Qianqian looked at the Sword Sect's inheritance ring.

After looking through it, she reported to Su Lie, "In addition to the basic construction resources for building the Sword Sect, there is also a manufacturing blueprint for something called a Technique Rubbing Scroll. Through this scroll, we can rub the techniques we've learned onto scrolls, turning them into Technique Awakening Scrolls!"

..."In that case, you first prepare the construction affairs for the Sword Sect! See where the Sword Sect should be built and what resources are needed. As for disciples and members, you can choose them freely within the territory!"

Su Lie gave Su Qianqian great convenience.

After receiving her orders, Su Qianqian solemnly said to Su Lie, "Master! I will walk the path of a Sword Cultivator from now on!"

"Mm! If you have any needs, just come to me!"

Su Lie nodded.

This was the third path within his territory.

The first path was the path of professions.

The second path was the path of the Dragon Emperor.

The third path was the path of the Sword Cultivator.

Each of the three paths had its own strengths and weaknesses.

In the current Mist World, the path of professions was the orthodox one, while the Dragon Emperor and Sword Cultivator paths were considered unorthodox.

After handling the affairs of Su Qianqian and the Sword Sect.

Su Lie finally returned to the 9th floor.

By this time, the weapon deduction platform had already completed its deduction.

And a panel of information for a weapon manufacturing blueprint appeared on the screen.

Below it, there were also buttons for re-deducing and generating the blueprint.

"This is a blueprint for a Second Turn class?"

Su Lie looked at the blueprint before him, his eyes lighting up slightly.

After some thought.

He chose to generate this blueprint.

Immediately after.

Su Lie went to the Treasure Refining Grotto-Heaven within the Treasure Refining Room on the third floor.

He once again sat before the Purple Gold Eight Treasures Furnace.

As he cast the materials into the furnace one by one and extracted 100,000 points of Xuanhuang Power to use as special energy.

Hum!

Fire flashed within the Purple Gold Eight Treasures Furnace.

The treasure refining ended.

Su Lie immediately took out a sword cannon gourd from it.

He saw.

This gourd had a total length of 30 centimeters. Its shape was a 'Monk's Head' style, its entire body was rounded, and complex patterns were engraved around it.

These patterns looked quite beautiful and brilliant, reflecting a gorgeous radiance under the light.

When the gourd was held in his hand, Su Lie immediately felt the power of the same origin being transmitted from within the gourd.

"It's absorbing the power in the space on its own and converting it into Mysterious Yellow Energy?"

Su Lie's eyes lit up.

He immediately looked at the information data of the sword cannon gourd.

【Hum!】

In the blink of an eye, a panel automatically popped up from the sword cannon gourd...
