Chapter 1201: Heavenly Court Divine Kings Serve as My Sword Attendants, All Sword Cultivators in the World Honor Me as Xie Xie Zushi

~17 min read 3,384 words

When Ou Ou Yezi returned to the top of the Black Emperor's altar, there were eight more sword attendants by his side holding Pure Jun, Zhanlu, Fish-Intestine, and Long Yuan.

The eight Divine Kings of the Heavenly Court all left things behind before they were able to withdraw their Dao Fruits back to the Heavenly Realm.

Otherwise, when they abandoned their incarnations and withdrew their Dao Fruits, Ou Ou Yezi would have had the ability to sever their incarnations and use the Pointing Spirit Dao Fruit to take them away. At that time, they would have had to pay a greater price.

Zhang Zhang Tian Shi held the Zhang Tian Shi Sword and followed obediently behind, while Meng Zhan and the Immortal Qin soldiers were also surging with excitement...

The exchange between the Great Great Fangshi Ou Ou Yezi and the ten Divine Kings of the Heavenly Court revealed the terror and glory of the now-fallen Immortal Qin remnants in the past.

"Great Great Fangshi!"

Meng Zhan wanted to speak, but Ou Ou Yezi shook his head and smiled: "I know what you want to say, so spare me! When the Immortal Qin was still there, I did many things against my conscience to repay Ying Zheng's favor. When the Immortal Qin perished, although I also had a trace of reluctance in my heart, I felt more relaxed."

"I am not like Xu Fu, whose Dao Fruit and the Immortal Qin are dependent on each other. This move is for the Immortal Qin of the past, not for the Immortal Qin of the present!"

Meng Zhan's face dimmed. Ou Ou Yezi's attitude was not beyond his expectation.

If all seven Great Great Fangshi had fully assisted the Immortal Qin remnants, the Boundary Sea Great Wall would not have ended up in a state where it couldn't even get out of the Reincarnation Heaven.

Ou Ou Yezi turned to look at Zhang Zhang Tian Shi and spread his hands: "Let me see the sword?"

Zhang Zhang Tian Shi smiled bitterly, looking at the sword attendant holding the Zhanlu Sword transformed by the Divine Martial Immortal King's flesh, looking at the Majestic Dao Fruit transformed into the Pure Jun Sword momentum that had been slashed off a part, and then looking at a promise from the Profound Law Divine King, the part of the original supernatural power of slaying demons and devils, the Heavenly Mansion Divine Thunder of the Thunder Drum Immortal King, the various majesties of the Majestic Divine King, and even the part of the Heavenly Law slashed from the body of the Chiting Divine King...

He could only obediently untie the Zhang Tian Shi Sword and present it to Ou Ou Yezi.

The sword had a pair of male and female swords, shaped like raw copper, the hilt was a five-section interlocking ring, and the sword body was faintly engraved with secret method runes and the sun, moon, and stars.

It was the shape of a Dharma sword, and it was infinitely mysterious.

Touching the sword body, the sword patterns that appeared against the light were like the care of all gods in the myriad realms.

The expression in Ou Ou Yezi's eyes dimmed, and there seemed to be sorrow in his eyes.

"When Ganjiang forged the predecessor of this sword, his sword-casting technique was already no less than mine."

"The pair of swords of true emotion had already broken and followed their old master. The Sword Demon was once the sword-holding boy under my command. He stole a broken sword I discarded and became a demon. He received my instructions to avenge Ganjiang, obtained the broken remains of the pair of swords, and recast them into two magic swords, which I also acquiesced to."

"But the Jade Emperor killed Ganjiang, and after the pair of swords were destroyed, he took away the sword spirits and bestowed them upon Zhang Zhang Dao Ling..."

"Humph! Even if he obtained the sword spirits of Ganjiang and Moye and recast this sword, it is still unsightly, the brilliance is scattered, and the texture is coarse."

"The way of sword casting lies in the purity of heart and intention."

"Before I forged Pure Jun, I traveled across the Shenzhou. Whenever I saw an upright person, I had to stop and learn their character respectfully."

"I didn't dare to eat food that wasn't exchanged for my own full effort, didn't dare to use money stained with a trace of filth, walked upright, and had no evil thoughts in my heart when seeing the myriad phenomena of the red dust. Only after a hundred years like this could I hear the heart of copper and iron and taste the flavor of spring water."

"I listened carefully to which place had the hardest and most upright copper and tin, and smelled which place had the clearest and most dust-free water."

"Finally, I heard the resilience of a gentleman who does not yield to violence at Red Firmament Mountain, and heard the uprightness of people holding to their original hearts at Ruoye River."

"At the foot of the mountain and by the river, I fasted and prayed, letting heaven and earth witness my heart, before I successfully collected the divine gold and refined copper, startling the Heavenly Emperor to raise the furnace fire for me, and forged the Pure Jun Sword!"

"But these two recast Zhang Tian Shi Swords, although they used the most precious spiritual materials in the world."

"The nine great divine golds were used without sparing, the six heavens' old qi was cut off infinitely, and there were twenty-four smelts of ghosts and gods in the Shenzhou, swearing to protect the Dao by holding the sword."

"But that's all."

"Zhang Zhang Dao Ling refined it for ten thousand years, carrying the fortune of the Dao Sect, it is an extremely extraordinary magic treasure!"

Ou Ou Yezi threw the sword to Zhang Zhang Tian Shi: "But, this has nothing to do with the sword..."

"The sword spirit inside cannot be truly cast into one with the sword!"

"Rather than using the sword for slaughter, it is better to use it to perform Dao methods... But if we talk about the sword, I have to say, it's not as good as the Sword Demon's two swords!"

Zhang Zhang Tian Shi respectfully held the Zhang Tian Shi Sword above his head with both hands, knowing that this was considered passing the test, and felt relieved in his heart.

This time Ou Ou Yezi took the Zhang Tian Shi Sword, which was also justified.

But since Ou Ou Yezi didn't take this sword, he would never take this sword back from the Zhang family ever again! The last hidden danger in the name of the Zhang Tian Shi Sword was gone!

As for what Ou Ou Yezi said, this sword is not a top-grade one.

Zhang Zhang Tian Shi just listened. People are the world's number one sword-casting master. The nine great divine golds suitable for casting flying swords in the universe are never in his eyes, thinking they are 'impure'!

What can he say!

He couldn't let the ancestor Zhang Zhang Dao Ling compare sword-casting techniques with Ou Ou Yezi, right?

There is a pair of sword spirits hidden in the Three-Five Evil-Slaying Zhang Tian Shi Sword, which all past Zhang Zhang Tian Shi knew.

When the restrictions of this sword are fully activated, it can turn into the sun and moon, pulling the Dao Fruits of the Taiyin and the Sun, which relies on the ability of the sword spirit.

Zhang Zhang Tian Shi didn't take Ou Ou Yezi's words to heart, but Jiang Shang beside him vaguely realized something.

Ever since Xu Fu turned the world upside down, created the Five Sacred Mountains from the Primordial Divine Stone, and suppressed the hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals, he had vaguely felt that the heaven and earth treasures in the world seemed to be created by those Dao Lord great beings.

At the Black Emperor's altar, he heard Ou Ou Yezi call himself Chaozhen Zi, revealing many Immortal Qin artifact-making creations.

Especially the secret of the Hunyuan Dao Fruit.

He even vaguely perceived some things.

He immediately said bluntly: "Great Master! The way of sword casting lies in the purity of heart and intention. Great Master fasted and prayed to make Red Firmament Mountain produce gold and Ruoye Creek produce copper. Can the heaven and earth treasures in the world also be refined by heart? Even surpassing those rare treasures in the universe?"

Ou Ou Yezi smiled with satisfaction: "You little friend have some understanding."

"The reason why heaven and earth treasures have their own wonders is mostly due to the modification of material properties by Dao Fruits. This is what we artifact refiners often say, containing principles inside."

"Magic treasures and spiritual artifacts are to borrow the principles contained in the materials themselves, and use restrictions and arrays to follow the principles to create tools with strange abilities and power. Therefore, spiritual treasures that entrust Dao Fruits are the peak of the artifact path!"

"But besides material properties and principles, there is also spirituality in heaven and earth treasures."

"The current way of artifact refining mostly understands material properties, can judge materials, and refine magic treasures according to the restrictions and arrays perfected by predecessors, which is already an artifact refiner!"

"If one can understand the Dao and principles contained in heaven and earth treasures, and interpret them with the Great Dao one has comprehended, it is a master class."

"But there are very few who can truly understand the spirituality in all things in heaven and earth and refine them into 'tools'."

"Only in the era of us people, there were artifact refiners who communicated heart to heart and felt the spirituality of all things in heaven and earth... But it was also helpless. Our era inherited the ancient witch path. At that time, any heaven and earth treasure was polluted by the Yu Jiuyou, and there were 'ghosts' hidden inside. We had to sacrifice to ghosts and gods before we could refine them."

"We didn't even look at heaven and earth treasures that were not polluted by the Yu Jiuyou!"

"So all things have spirits, and spiritual objects have ghosts, which was common sense in our era."

"It's just that after the Heavenly Zhou, the Yu Jiuyou were far away, and there were fewer and fewer materials hosting ghosts and gods between heaven and earth, so the way of artifact refining fell into silence. Therefore, in the era I was born, everyone had to blood sacrifice and live sacrifice when refining artifacts to introduce the Yu Jiuyou and give spirituality and ghosts to the materials..."

"The reason why I was upright and sincere before refining the sword was because I didn't want other cruel and mean ghosts to pollute my sword."

"Fasting and praying was to move the ghosts that were upright, honest, noble, and kind in the gold and iron, let them dedicate themselves to me, and refine them into a peerless sword."

"And since I attained the Pointing Spirit Dao Fruit and brought spirituality back to the myriad realms, the spirituality in all things is no longer as clear and difficult to perceive as in the previous eras."

"They are more primitive and ignorant."

"And they won't interfere with or destroy your artifact refining like ghosts and gods, so the way of refining artifacts by heart and feeling spirits naturally declined!"

Ou Ou Yezi taught these hometown juniors sincerely: "But this does not mean that the spirituality in heaven and earth treasures and all things in heaven and earth is not important to artifact refining."

"In fact, it is more mysterious and dangerous, more pure and inexplicable."

"The name of heaven and earth treasures is well-deserved. The so-called Dao Fruit marks, the nine great strange golds, the nine great divine jades, and all kinds of heaven and earth treasures classified by predecessors are all the Dao of heaven and earth. Only spirituality can communicate with heaven and earth, and the Three Talents are complete, which is the way of man."

"Current magic treasures all need to be nurtured by people, which is to fill the lack of the human spirit path."

"If you cast tools with spirits, the magic treasures cast can have the ability to rectify the heart. People raise tools, and tools also raise people. Magic treasures that cultivate life together will entrust the virtues you lack or deviate from, and remind you from time to time. The so-called unity of man and tool is a better you, which is very good for impacting the Primordial Spirit."

"It's a pity that except for sword cultivators, few people walk this path!"

Jiang Shang suddenly realized: "No wonder sword cultivators are not afraid of magic tribulations, and their natal flying swords have the ability to warn, protect the law, slay evil, and rectify the heart."

"I am the last person in the era of sacrificial artifact refining, and also the first person in the artifact path today!"

Ou Ou Yezi nodded and smiled: "Although the sword cultivation path is honored by sword cultivators all over the world because of me, and is regarded as one of the ancestors of the sword path, it is not a false name, but his Pointing Spirit Dao Fruit helps sword cultivators all over the world. The sword cultivation path is unique among so many left-path cultivators and can be called the righteous path of cultivation."

"Ou Ou Yezi's merit accounts for at least two percent!"

The juniors present, hearing this, were only half-understanding.

If Brother Qian Chen were here, he could explain it clearly.

The so-called spirituality is the projection of infinite other selves in the Xuanzhen Taiyi Dao Fruit.

Under normal circumstances, only when a cultivator in the world breaks through the mystery of life and death can he sense other selves, and with the help of life and death, countless 'selves' gather towards a thought, and inscribe an incomparably profound 'self' in the Xuanzhen Taiyi Dao Fruit, thus attaining the Primordial Spirit.

But among the infinite possibilities of the self, does there not exist the 'possibility of the Primordial Spirit'?

There are always some powerful selves that are more powerful, more perfect, and even more perfect than the self in the world.

Such powerful spirituality, although because the Heavenly Emperor cut off the alien number and cut off those timelines, it became illusory.

But the door of spirituality opened by the Pointing Spirit Dao Fruit can project it into the world and turn it into the spirit of grass, trees, stones, and jade.

Many heaven and earth treasures are formed this way.

This is the good fortune of humans.

When Brother Qian Chen refined pills in his early years, he always left roots for heaven and earth treasures, and always said that this thing had a fate with so-and-so, because the spirituality of those heaven and earth treasures was projected by the self-projection of these people.

This is a true 'fate'.

The Xiao Xie family's "orchid and jade tree" is a method of cultivation that allows the heavenly treasures transformed from the spiritual nature of their own descendants to grow beneath the courtyard steps, thereby being cultivated and nourished.

At the critical moment of cultivating life together, refining them into pills and taking them, one can often greatly increase fortune and break through some key barriers.

And sword cultivators can also sense the differentiation of their own spirituality with secret methods, but they go a step further than the Xiao Xie family.

They often use the most perfect and tough spiritual materials to forge natal flying swords, and then use the natal flying swords to sense the things transformed by scattered spirituality.

That is 'spiritual medicine'!

Sword cultivators hold swords and search the world for spiritual medicines that have a fate with themselves, use them to wash and refine flying swords, and cultivate the spirituality within them.

It is equivalent to collecting the most prominent, perfect, and sublimated nature of countless 'selves' in Xuanzhen Taiyi, and cultivating a sword spirit that collects the projections of more perfect selves on countless timelines.

Taking this as a teacher, correcting one's own behavior, and rectifying one's heart.

This is the secret of sword cultivators and their natal flying swords cultivating life together...

And at the critical moment of impacting the mystery of life and death, they can even communicate with countless selves in the Xuanzhen Taiyi Dao Fruit with their natal flying swords, and break through the mystery of life and death with one sword.

This is the unique cultivation path of sword cultivators, and others can't envy it even if they want to!

Ou Ou Yezi is honored by sword cultivators all over the world as a sword-casting master, which is not a false name, but his Pointing Spirit Dao Fruit helps sword cultivators all over the world.

The reason why the sword cultivation path is unique among so many left-path cultivators and can be called the righteous path of cultivation.

Ou Ou Yezi's merit accounts for at least two percent!

Brother Qian Chen had some feelings about these principles before, but he was also half-understanding, because as a Supreme Daoist, he had no infinite selves in Xuanzhen Taiyi, because he himself already represented infinite possibilities.

So he was troubled by the ignorance of the Earth Immortal Realm about the spiritual cultivation path.

Until he attained the Primordial Spirit.

Brother Qian Chen truly understood the secret behind all things having spirits in the myriad realms...

Limited by the sword cut by the old Heavenly Emperor from the Primordial, the secret of spirituality concerns Xuanzhen Taiyi, and Ou Ou Yezi could not say too much, just pointed out a thread of the spiritual cultivation path for several children in the Earth Immortal Realm, and left these thoughtful people, walking straight to the top of the Black Emperor's altar.

Before the Pointing Spirit Dao Fruit was born, the four Dao Fruits of wisdom, courage, benevolence, and uprightness cut off by the Supreme blocked the spirituality in Xuanzhen Taiyi.

Coupled with the fact that Yu Jiuyou ghosts could run to the Earth Immortal Realm, polluting the spirituality that was originally extremely subtle.

So since the new heaven, no one could sense the true spirit, and no one could perceive the bit of spirituality that faintly penetrated from Xuanzhen Taiyi.

It was Ou Ou Yezi who, in order to forge the sword, cultivated his heart with all his strength, and in countless doubts and boredom, tempered his heart to be incomparably pure, before he could sense the four kinds of spirituality of wisdom, courage, benevolence, and uprightness between heaven and earth.

He found the heaven and earth treasures like gold and copper that hosted them, and fasted and prayed to make them willing to forge swords with him!

Even so, he was valued by the Heavenly Emperor, forged the four swords of Pure Jun, Zhanlu, Fish-Intestine, and Long Yuan, communicated with those four Dao Fruits, and was able to enter Xuanzhen Taiyi with his heart and open the door of spirituality.

This door has only two keys, besides Ou Ou Yezi's Pointing Spirit Dao Fruit.

The other key is the Rise and Fall Dao Fruit attained by Brother Qian Chen...

Brother Qian Chen is also one of the few Great Masters in the world besides Ou Ou Yezi who can forge natal artifacts for others. It's just that he is more inclined to the pill path, and the natal pills he refines by collecting spiritual objects scattered by others are probably the only pills in the world that can help people impact the Primordial Spirit.

Many external pills he left in the Pinghu Blessed Land of the Supreme Louguan Dao were refined from the Zhilanyu trees growing under the courtyard steps of Chang'an City.

They contained the spirituality scattered by many cultivators who entered the Blessed Land.

That's why many people benefited from it.

The reason Jiang Shang was able to have an epiphany was that when Brother Qian Chen bestowed the Great Sun Golden Haze Pill at the Pinghu Blessed Land, he had set a test and deliberately left a few traces.
