Protagonist:

Yu Zhangsheng

Moreover, the Sui Xian Sword's sword spirit's technique was special; it could not be considered as having burned down Purple Little One's house, but rather used a special method to re-refine and renovate a larger, more suitable house for Purple Little One.

Just like that, after an incense stick's time, the Sui Xian Sword's sword spirit lightly tapped a finger on this Purple Jade Sword, and the last cluster of flames also extinguished along with it; the completely revealed Purple Jade Sword suddenly erupted with dazzling spirit light, and a tyrannical sword intent emerged out of thin air, rampaging in all directions.

"Good, a high-grade spirit treasure, at the peak of spirit treasures, not far from ascending to a divine weapon, and because of the sword spirit's existence, it possesses growth potential; nurture it well, and ascending to a divine weapon is only a matter of time."

The Sui Xian Sword's sword spirit looked at this Purple Jade Sword and nodded in satisfaction, his complexion turning slightly pale; obviously, this refining was not easy for him either, the consumption was great.

A cultivator's magic treasures are generally divided into three ranks: the initial magic treasures, then spirit treasures, and finally divine weapons; above divine weapons there are still more, yet they are rarely seen in the world, so they will be briefly omitted.

And whether magic treasures, spirit treasures, or divine weapons, they all have levels, divided into low-grade, middle-grade, and high-grade; the gap between each grade is almost equivalent to a cultivator's major realm, a world of difference.

Generally speaking, reaching the divine weapon level can already be called a supreme treasure, its value inestimable; every appearance makes countless cultivators red-eyed, fighting endlessly.

And the Xuan Yin Gate's Ancestor, Blood Xuan True Venerable's supreme treasure, the Blood Xuan Bell, is a divine weapon! This is why it makes countless cultivators wary; after all, with no immortal artifacts appearing, divine weapons are almost the limit of magic treasures, their augmentation to cultivators unimaginable.

A Spirit Transformation cultivator with a divine weapon, and a Spirit Transformation cultivator without a divine weapon, are completely different concepts; there are even rumors that a Spirit Transformation Daoneng wielding a divine weapon is almost equivalent to a second Spirit Transformation combat power.

As for ordinary cultivators, the vast majority of cultivators, in the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages, merely use magic treasures; spirit treasures can only be possessed after Golden Core.

And Yu Zhangsheng has not yet formed a core, yet already possesses a peak spirit treasure, enough to make a large batch of ordinary cultivators die of envy; not to mention it also possesses growth potential, ascending to a divine weapon can be said to be a certainty.

………

"Hmm?!"

Purple Little One blinked innocently, looking at this Purple Jade Sword, joy appearing on his small face; he liked this jade sword that had been reborn very much.

And he could clearly feel that between himself and this Purple Jade Sword, an inseparable connection existed; he only needed a single thought to control this sword, and furthermore, strands of comprehension regarding the Sword Path continuously emerged, naturally appearing in his mind. This made Purple Little One very pleasantly surprised.

And Yu Zhangsheng was the same; this jade sword had long been refined by him into a natal magic treasure, and now with Purple Little One, who had signed a contract with him, becoming its sword spirit, even though Yu Zhangsheng was just beginning to understand the Sword Path, relying on these connections, he had a feeling of controlling the Purple Jade Sword as easily as moving his own limbs.

"This feeling is like a Sword Path novice who in an instant was forcibly empowered to the ranks of a Sword Path genius... truly strange."

Yu Zhangsheng muttered, filled with emotion; with just a thought in his mind, in an instant this spirit sword trembled lightly, a finger drew across, and this Purple Spirit Sword slashed out a shocking long rainbow, and moreover, vast sword qi erupted, startling the Void.

"Hehehe... with this, my sword techniques can finally be displayed to a large extent, becoming one of my trump cards."

Yu Zhangsheng laughed heartily, his smile radiant; as a Sword Cultivator, how could he do without a handy sword? Now this shortcoming could be considered remedied.

And the jade sword itself was made of very special material, forged from Yu Shi from outside the domain; even a Purple Mansion cultivator could not wear it down in the slightest, and as an existence capable of giving birth to a heaven-and-earth spirit species like Purple Little One, this Purple Bamboo was naturally not ordinary Purple Bamboo; calling it the Purple Bamboo Emperor would not be an exaggeration.

A treasure sword refined from two kinds of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures was naturally extraordinary; for Yu Zhangsheng, it was a qualitative leap.

Thus, looking at the Sui Xian Sword's sword spirit, his eyes were also filled with gratitude; if not for the Sui Xian Sword's sword spirit, he truly could not have gained such a great improvement.

"A natural outcome."

The Sui Xian Sword's sword spirit waved a hand, suppressing the weakness in his heart, glancing at the two, his gaze falling again on this Purple Jade Sword, carrying a trace of reluctance. He waved lightly, and this Purple Jade Sword instantly flew out, shooting toward Yu Zhangsheng.

Yu Zhangsheng beckoned with one hand, receiving the Purple Jade Sword, unable to hide the joy on his face, casting a grateful look at the Sui Xian Sword's sword spirit.

"This sword was originally intended as material to repair the Sui Xian Sword..."

The Sui Xian Sword's sword spirit's tone paused, his gaze uncontrollably dimming a bit, he shook his head, his emotions suddenly becoming somewhat low. He said softly: "It's just a pity... now it has fallen into your hands, I hope you can bring out its prestige, do not disgrace its reputation."

Yu Zhangsheng was silent for a moment; he knew what the Sui Xian Sword's sword spirit regretted; to tell the truth, regarding his Senior Brother, he did not understand him clearly either, so he dared not say much.

"This sword has no name; since it is your natal spirit treasure, give it a name with him."

The Sui Xian Sword's sword spirit smiled, his tone deliberately light.

Yu Zhangsheng pondered for a moment, looked at Purple Little One, and asked: "Right, what is your name?"

Purple Little One had now become a sword spirit, and Yu Zhangsheng also thought to name it after his name.

"No... right? But they, seem to all call me... Emperor?

Purple Little One shook his head, thought for a moment, and said.

"Like this... Purple Bamboo Emperor..."

Yu Zhangsheng frowned slightly, lightly tapped on his head, tentatively asking: "Since so, from now on you will be called Purple Spirit Emperor, and this sword will be called the Purple Spirit Emperor Sword."

Purple Little One thought for a moment, after a long while, nodded at Yu Zhangsheng, revealing a sweet smile, clearly quite satisfied with this name.

As soon as the words fell, on the Purple Jade Sword's body, amidst dragon-flying-phoenix-dancing strokes, the three characters 'Purple Spirit Emperor' were naturally engraved, purple-gold in color, carrying a trace of noble meaning, slowly shining.

"Truly good."

The Sui Xian Sword's sword spirit's eyes flashed with a strange color, he smiled faintly, but pondered in his heart.

"This little guy, born in Purple Bamboo receiving Imperial Qi, a naturally nurtured special spirit body, now transformed into a sword spirit; although not naturally born from a sword body, in some aspects it can also be regarded as an innate sword spirit..."

"With its help, this sword ascending to a divine weapon is not difficult, and its upper limit may be even more astonishing; this kid, his fortune is not shallow..."

"But as Master's Junior Brother, being like this, I also don't count as having let Master down... sigh."

The Sui Xian Sword's sword spirit thought in his heart, in the depths of his gaze, a trace of desolation flashed past, only a faint sigh echoing.

The Sui Xian Sword's sword spirit's emotional changes all occurred in a single thought, merely an instant, and he had adjusted his emotions; looking at the two in high spirits, he coughed twice, and said blandly: "Alright, since so, the entire inheritance trial also ends here; I can no longer stop you. If you want to leave, you can go now." The three trials were actually three inheritances; the first transmitted the Sword Path, and Yu Zhangsheng even comprehended the Taichu Kaitian Sword, a quasi-saint-grade killing method, in this trial; the harvest naturally needs no further words.

And the second trial, moreover, completed the Myriad Spirits Decree, letting it thoroughly ascend to a saint-grade technique; its opportunity surpassed the first trial; not to mention anything else, just the Myriad Spirits Decree's attached functions alone can be called tyrannical.

And the third trial, the two merged; this Purple Spirit Emperor Sword is the greatest opportunity; after all, a peerless spirit treasure that can grow into a divine weapon, and a sword spirit — this kind of thing would absolutely make countless Sword Cultivators red-eyed.

Plus the strange and rare fifth tamed beast, a heaven-and-earth spirit body, Purple Spirit Emperor... it can be said Yu Zhangsheng's trip yielded a full harvest.

"The only slight shortcoming is..."

Yu Zhangsheng thought in his heart, then his gaze sank slightly, and he cupped his fists at the Sui Xian Sword's sword spirit, saying in a deep voice: "Many thanks for this trip, Senior; the junior has benefited greatly. However, there is still one unresolved matter; I wonder if Senior would be willing to grant it."

The Sui Xian Sword's sword spirit glanced at Yu Zhangsheng and said with a smile: "You intend to undergo tribulation here, thereby thoroughly ascending to a Heavenly Dao Golden Core, right?"

With the Sui Xian Sword's sword spirit's cultivation, he naturally saw at a glance that Yu Zhangsheng had been suppressing his realm, and thus pierced it with a single sentence.

"Yes, Senior sees clearly."

Yu Zhangsheng lowered his head slightly, nodding as he spoke.

"Forget it, then let's just undergo the tribulation here. My place isolates the outside world, so you don't need to worry about outsiders interfering, and due to the special nature of the environment, it can also weaken the power of the Heavenly Tribulation to a certain extent."

"It is precisely because the connection between here and the outside world is faint that you have been able to suppress your realm for so long. Otherwise, even if there is an existence shielding the heavenly secrets for you, for such a long time, if you were in the outside world, the Heavenly Tribulation would have already fallen."

The Sui Xian Sword's sword spirit spoke lightly, a sharp light flashing in his gaze as he looked at Yu Zhangsheng, carrying a hint of curiosity.

"Just right, a Heavenly Dao Golden Core. It's been so many years, and I want to see it again, but I must remind you: you are not merely a Heavenly Dao Golden Core; you also possess the Qi of the Heavenly Dao, and have completely integrated it into your Dao Foundation."

"Therefore, the lightning tribulation drawn down is far from ordinary; it is probably terrifying beyond compare. Back then, your senior brother, my Master, when breaking through this barrier, also narrowly escaped death. You must be prepared."

Back then, Yu Zhangsheng's senior brother, Cao Jinxian, when breaking through to Golden Core, was also a Heavenly Dao Golden Core, also possessed the Qi of the Heavenly Dao, and even possessed two strands of Heavenly Dao Qi. The Heavenly Tribulation triggered could be called heaven-destroying and earth-extinguishing.

However, after successfully undergoing the tribulation, the improvement gained was also immensely great.

"Back then, my Master had just advanced to Golden Core and could almost fight a Purple Mansion cultivator. Your foundation, too, reached the limit at Foundation Establishment..."

"Nine-Layer Spirit Platform, Qi of the Heavenly Dao, top-tier fleshly body, soul, Sword Path, and five extraordinary bloodline spirit beasts... I wonder, once you break through, what heights will you reach?"

The Sui Xian Sword's sword spirit carried anticipation in his heart. In silence, with a wave of his sleeve, one mark after another appeared, floating in the Void, engraved in the eight directions of the sky. The stars filling the sky likewise flickered, shining brightly, connecting with each other.

The Sui Xian Sword's sword spirit formed hand seals, and one wondrous rune after another appeared, striking the stars. Thus, the stars connected, and one mysterious fluctuation after another spread in all directions, transforming into a heaven-shaking formation that enveloped the world.

Last night, all this, the Sui Xian Sword's sword spirit's mouth corner turned slightly white, he breathed slightly heavily, and his aura suddenly became somewhat listless.

"Senior, this is..."

Yu Zhangsheng looked at this scene with a changed expression, looking gratefully at the Sui Xian Sword's sword spirit.

The Sui Xian Sword's sword spirit waved his hand, took a deep breath, and said lightly: "What I can do is only this much. Since undergoing the tribulation, although outsiders cannot interfere, external objects can still be utilized. Now I use the stars as a formation and the world as a boundary, arranging this protective formation for you, which can be considered giving you a bit more assurance."

Yu Zhangsheng was speechless and could only bow deeply to the Sui Xian Sword's sword spirit.

"Alright. Hurry up and adjust and prepare. When you feel you can, then draw down the Heavenly Tribulation. Break through quickly, and then get lost."

The Sui Xian Sword's sword spirit suddenly laughed and scolded, saying with a chuckle.

Yu Zhangsheng nodded, his expression solemn. He sat cross-legged on the ground, swallowed two pills to recover, circulated his technique, and his mind and spirit were completely immersed in it.

The Zi Ling Imperial Sword, as his natal treasure, was taken back into his body. And Zi Ling Huang, though a spirit beast, was also a sword spirit. One resided within the Zi Ling Imperial Sword, nurturing the sword while the sword nurtured him in return.

However, as a spirit beast, if Zi Ling Huang was willing, he could naturally be recalled into the Inner Landscape. But compared to the Inner Landscape, he was more willing to stay in this Zi Ling Imperial Sword.

Yu Zhangsheng let him be and did not force him.

"Since undergoing the tribulation, everything must be prepared. Reaching the best state is what matters."

Yu Zhangsheng's aura was long and continuous, his eyes tightly closed, his mind and spirit immersed within, feeling everything up and down his body, as if lost in thought.

"Raise everything that can be raised to the limit, face the Heavenly Tribulation with the strongest posture, and pass through with the greatest assurance... After passing the Heavenly Tribulation, I wonder, what astonishing level will my combat power reach..."

"In addition, regarding divine abilities, they must be well utilized. Since the Myriad Spirits Art is a Saint Level technique, then..."

Yu Zhangsheng thought in his heart, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, lightly opened his eyes, and with a movement of his mind, the Golden-Winged Great Eagle, Cai Xing Deer, and Chi Lian Purgatory Dragon were all released by him, guarding beside him.

As for the Black Tortoise, Yu Zhangsheng had not moved yet. This guy was suppressing his aura for Yu Zhangsheng. Back then, not long after, the Heavenly Tribulation would descend.

"Relax your minds and spirits, let me enter to obtain your innate divine abilities."

Yu Zhangsheng spoke concisely. The characteristic of the Saint Level technique Myriad Spirits Art naturally had to be well utilized. Previously, he had only contacted the Chi Lian Purgatory Dragon and obtained a "Murderous Fire Purgatory." The other divine abilities naturally could not be let go.

After all, these few spirit beasts, under Yu Zhangsheng's constant nurturing, were all quite remarkable, and the power of their divine abilities also exceeded the majority of ordinary spells.

The only regrettable point was that Yu Zhangsheng had tested it: divine abilities obtained from others using the Myriad Spirits Art could not be calculated by the system and could not be improved with Essence Points. (Chapter End)
