Chapter 128: Sentimental Sword, My-Attachment Knife
In the scorching earth fire cave, Qian Chen had already released the Tai fire poisonous dragon, letting it swallow the surrounding fire energy to restore its fire power. And that bit of life-bound sword light was still gestating. The sharp energy that occasionally flowed out was all guided by Qian Chen, washing and refining another piece of Taiyi Origin Gold vessel embryo.
That vessel embryo had already condensed into one piece. Qian Chen prepared to temper it as a whole first, and then split the vessel embryo to refine them into sword embryos separately.
Qian Chen was also used to refining in the furnace world, and even threw some Earth Fire Origin Copper, One-Yang True Gold, Star-Patterned Refined Iron, and Red Fire Tungsten Gold into the ice furnace, wanting to refine some small things casually.
They were all small magic treasures like nails, needles, bells, plaques, and forks.
It was just casually refining a few layers of seals, so as not to waste the seal runes that had collapsed from the Profound Heaven Demon-Slaying Sword.
When it came to the step of sealing the furnace and nourishing, Qian Chen had nothing to be busy with. Three days later, when the sword embryo was successfully nourished and the form and quality stabilized, this furnace of magic treasures would be more than half refined. A cultivator's magic treasure is three parts refined, emphasizing excellent essence, and seven parts nourished, refined to have infinite power.
Qian Chen took advantage of the collapse of the Profound Heaven Demon-Slaying Sword, this magic treasure-level flying sword, and took a big advantage in the refining link, taking that bit of spirituality nourished out, making the life-bound flying sword have incomparable sharpness as soon as it was refined.
"Among the true fires of heaven and earth, this Tai fire of the earth's lung is the most ruthless, just because the earth's lung is a kind of mysterious yin heavy and turbid substance, and it is extremely poisonous when burned..."
There are many types of true fires of heaven and earth, which can be summarized into about nine types.
Excluding Tai fire, there are Heavenly Fire, Yang Fire, Yin Fire, Five Elements Fire, etc.
Tai fire refers to the time when heaven and earth were opened, and the clear and turbid qi began to give birth to the four images... wind, earth, water, fire. The fire quality in the void is either gathered into a mass, condensed into the sun, moon, and stars, or wrapped by the earth's crust and hidden in the earth's lung. The true fire achieved in this way is called Tai fire.
The Tai fire condensed into the sun is the Feng Yangzhen Fire, the true fire condensed into the moon is the Taiyin Taiyin Zhenhuo, and the true fire hidden in the earth's crust is called the Earth Lung Poisonous Fire.
Feng Yangzhen Fire is the essence of Yang harmony, Taiyin Taiyin Zhenhuo is the essence of mysterious yin, and Earth Lung Poisonous Fire is the substance of mysterious yin heavy and turbid. They are all Tai fire.
Because the Earth Lung Poisonous Fire is essentially mysterious yin heavy and turbid, it sinks and can only be seen in the earth's lung.
If Heavenly Fiend Peak hadn't collapsed, Qian Chen wouldn't have even thought about going deep into the earth lung fire orifice, let alone seeing Tai fire. Immediately, his heart moved, and he thought: "I previously promised to dissolve the remains of Xiang You and Madam Chilian, letting them go cleanly, so as not to let their bodies be used by demon lords like the Blood Demon. After all, it is a dharma body of Buddha and Demon combined and a sword embryo of the Liberation Demon Knife... If usurped by a demon lord, it will be another Blood Demon in the future."
"Where else in the world can I find a better place to dissolve a person than this earth's lung? It just so happens to burn out Xiang You's sarira, and I have to go back and give it to the little monk Shi Fang to take back to the temple for worship!"
He didn't think it was unlucky either. He found a place with extremely strong fire power in the ice furnace and moved the corpse of Xiang You, who was holding the Liberation Demon Knife, out of the Long Quehuan. Let the Tai fire poisonous fire of the earth's lung, like a poisonous dragon, spray a black flame onto Xiang You's body. Only then did he see that the Buddha Sect's indestructible golden body and the Demon Sect's immortal god-demon body were truly extraordinary.
Qian Chen controlled the Tai fire poisonous dragon to spray six or seven mouthfuls of black flames before there were signs of incineration.
The Liberation Demon Knife began to incinerate earlier than Xiang You's dharma body.
After the form of the Liberation Demon Knife gradually dissolved, a line of blood light escaped from the knife body. The Heavenly Demon Blood-Transforming Ancient Shendao—the 'Heavenly Demon' had already been subdued and liberated by Xiang You, and the strange vitality of 'Blood-Transforming' had also been burned out by the Tai fire. But the demon knife was unwilling to perish, and escaped with the 'God'.
This bit of divine intent possessed all the essence and imprints of the demon knife.
Including the God in the knife nurtured in the hands of two peerless Demon Path knife technique grandmasters—first Qian Chen, then Xiang You—including the obsession of Madam Chilian that Xiang You couldn't bear to dissolve when he liberated the Heavenly Demon, Qian Chen's demonic nature, Xiang You's demonic nature, and Madam Chilian's demonic nature, all merged into the God of the Demon Knife. When the knife body was about to be incinerated, it was finally unwilling to perish and escaped.
After the God of the Demon Knife, that line of blood light, escaped, it was refined by the Tai fire, and even the demonic nature could not escape being refined.
Finally, only the most essential, most unmelting 'attachment' remained.
Seeing this, Qian Chen sighed and sent this sliver of obsession into another vessel embryo made of Supreme Origin Gold: "Since you are unwilling to vanish, then remain as a memento! It can be considered worthy of the time you spent rampaging and fighting in my hands!"
That bit of obsession was the obsession of Madam Chilian's life. After being sent into the vessel embryo, it could be considered a divine weapon refined by the Liberation Demon Knife furnace.
Without the reinforcement of spells, without wish-fulfilling transformations, and with even its spirituality being extremely weak—unlike flying sword magic treasures that can be controlled from a thousand miles away to take a person's head and move freely—a divine weapon relies solely on the power of its wielder; it is a hardcore weapon for close-quarters combat between gods and demons. The predecessor of this divine weapon was the Liberation Demon Blade, and before that, the Heavenly Demon Blood-Transforming Ancient Shendao; both were blade-shaped, so what is refined should also be a long blade.
"Okay... went around in a circle again. This time I really have to use a knife!"
What caught Qian Chen off guard was still to come. When Xiang You's golden body gradually turned into flying ash in the Tai fire, when Madam Chilian's obsession attached to the Taiyi Origin Gold vessel embryo, turning the vessel embryo into a knife embryo, the dark golden bone ash that was gradually incinerated actually drifted toward the knife embryo that Qian Chen was refining, as if reluctant to part, entwining around the knife embryo.
Dots of dark golden light sprinkled down, making Qian Chen dumbfounded: "What is this? Bone ash refining a knife!"
"Can this knife still be used in the future?"
The forming knife embryo and the bone ash breath merged, as if entwined and reluctant to part. The golden body ashes contained extremely powerful powers of both Buddha and Demon. This power polished the knife embryo, making it gradually take shape, equivalent to a strong person who had cultivated the Buddha Sect's golden body and the Demon Sect's immortal god-demon sacrificing the knife with their body, and also sent a great demon who had cultivated the Origin Pill and had the Ba Snake bloodline as a sacrifice.
At this time, under the polishing of the furnace bone ash, the originally complete knife embryo suddenly split into two...
One transformed into a thin sword, six feet long, two fingers wide, with a red blood light flowing, and the hilt wrapped with fine snake scales.
The other was slightly thinner, like a cold iron ice-piercing ring knife.
Qian Chen was a little lost and said: "It's already cremated! And still sprinkling dog food! Are you Gan Jiang and Mo Ye? Sacrificing the knife with the body, refining into a female sword and a male knife. In the future, I will have a knife in my left hand and a sword in my right. Is my nickname Xuan Tian Evil Emperor or Mang Vajra?"
Qian Chen could only try his best to remedy it. He embedded the seven Profound Heaven Star Stones remaining on the hilt of the Profound Heaven Demon-Slaying Sword onto the thin sword, hiding the blood light, and barely decorated it into the shape of a Dao Sect Seven-Star Sword, only the sword body was a bit slender. He also tempered the knife body with Ice Soul Cold Light, added Taibai Gold Essence, and refined it until it was like ice-piercing, lengthening the knife body until it was like a goose wing, and finally refined it into a long knife with a nearly transparent knife body.
After such modifications, the thick Demon-Buddha aura on the knife and sword was finally tampered into a Dao Sect style.
It's just that these two divine weapons could not be as one wishes in size, let alone be like the life-bound flying sword Qian Chen was refining, transforming into a white light of Lung Gold Qi, and being nourished in the lungs.
Flying swords are usually easy to carry. Yan Shu's sword pill is just a gold pill the size of a longan; Qian Chen's Qinghong Sword is as thin as a leek leaf, two inches long, and can be hidden in a lotus flower; Si Qingguo's short knife is just like a dagger and can be held in the sleeve; only Ning Qingchen's flying sword is a normal-sized treasure sword, which must be held in the hand.
And divine weapons are said to have the ability to be as one wishes in size, facilitating gods and demons to manifest their dharma bodies and hold weapons for battle.
However, such divine weapons are all of an extremely high level, equivalent to spirit treasures; they are called wish-fulfilling divine weapons. If one wants to make a long staff grow as large as a mountain or a peak, one must truly refine a divine gold mineral vein as large as a mountain or a peak into a divine weapon. It is fundamentally incomparable to Qian Chen's corner-cutting approach; it is only because the ancient gods and demons occupied spirit mountains and blessed lands, and even used the sun and moon as their dojos, that they had such immense wealth when rare spirit materials were piled as high as mountains.
Qian Chen secretly speculated that the reason why the Taishang Dao Ancestor created the method of refining magic treasures, besides being influenced by Qian Chen's memory, was largely because he was poor... Gods and demons dominated heaven and earth, and the remaining materials were only enough for Taishang to pick and choose between his fingers.
Refining a flying sword, no matter how refined the materials are, three thousand jin of Iron Mother refined into a sword pill the size of a thumb is the limit.
What if it is refined into a flying sword the size of a door panel?
Let's increase the materials by eight hundred times first!
Qian Chen originally prepared to refine at least eight sword embryo vessel embryos, but after that pair of Gan Jiang and Mo Ye dog men and women sacrificed the furnace, they refined this one knife and one sword... This business can be said to be a blood loss!
Nourishing for two hours, this knife and sword divine weapon came out of the furnace. Qian Chen held the knife in one hand and the sword in the other. The Ice Soul Cold Light manifested his current figure, making him unable to help but slap his face.
Originally a fairy-like person with fluttering white robes and long sleeves, holding a knife and sword, he immediately became a nondescript martial arts person wielding strange weapons.
Qian Chen covered his face and groaned: "Even if I only held the sword, it would be fine! At least I'm a young white-clothed swordsman... holding a knife makes me like a cold-blooded swordsman, falling into the ranks of villains."
"Holding a knife in one hand and a sword in the other... forget it, at least there is the Xuan Tian Evil Emperor as a pearl before me." Qian Chen comforted himself.
"I truly have an inescapable evil fate with long knives!"
Qian Chen reached out and took back the sarira burned out of Xiang You's golden body from the Tai fire furnace. These sariras were very strange. Half were brilliant gold like pure gold amber, and half were thick blood-colored. The gold and blood colors were entangled like a Taiji diagram, as if interpreting Xiang You's life encounters.
"In a single thought!"
Qian Chen put away these nine sariras. These sariras were also a kind of strange treasure. In the hands of Buddha Sect monks, they could borrow the mindfulness left in the sariras, whether it was to comprehend the Buddha fruit of predecessors or to borrow it for fighting demons, they were important inheritances and treasures of the Buddha Sect. Of course, Xiang You's sarira was probably not suitable for Buddha Sect monks to use.
It was nothing else, just fear that in a single thought, they would fall into the Demon Path!
Of course, the Demon Path was the same, they would be converted. In short, this was a converter. After using it for a long time, there was a possibility of falling into another camp.
"Originally, I should have followed the example of Gan Jiang and Mo Ye and called you Red Practice Sword and Xiang You Knife, but since these two people don't want to leave any traces in the world anymore, presumably their names are the same. This knife originates from Xiang You's golden body, insisting on his attachment throughout his life, so it is called 'My-Attachment'. This sword was sacrificed by Madam Chilian, so let's call it 'Sentimental'!"
"This pair of knife and sword is the Sentimental Sword and My-Attachment Knife."
"May I use this sword to slay all sentimental people, and this knife to liberate all demons of my attachment! Bringing liberation to the attached and painful couples in the world..." Qian Chen raised his head, revealing a demonic smile, and joked.
Immediately looking at the My-Attachment Knife, which was ice-piercing and looked very much like the Ice Soul Ancient Shendao.
Thinking of the joking words just now, Qian Chen suddenly fell into a strange silence.
For a long time, he forcibly forgot the joke just now, untied the Heavenly Luo San on his back, aimed the Sentimental Sword at the hollow umbrella handle, and the sword blade broke through the hollow umbrella handle and successfully stored it inside.
Turning the Heavenly Luo San upside down, one couldn't see at all that it was hiding a divine weapon inside. The appearance looked like an oil-paper umbrella with the Big Dipper embedded in the handle, which was slightly special.
Qian Chen took the Heavenly Luo San back behind him and took out the Fuxi-style ancient zither with a charred tail from the Qiankun bag. He hid the My-Attachment Knife in the belly of the zither. After trying to pluck it, he only felt a trace of gold sound in the zither sound, with the sound of killing and cutting. But it didn't affect the playing... Qian Chen sighed while pressing the zither: "There is a steel plate resonance in the zither's resonance cavity. This should be the first 'piano' in this world!"
Hiding a sword in an umbrella, hiding a knife in a zither.
Perfectly solved the problem of carrying divine weapons and pretentiousness.
In the future, Qian Chen will walk the Nine Provinces with the Heavenly Luo San. When facing a great enemy, he will open the Heavenly Luo San, and the Heavenly Luo San will drop clear light, making it difficult for ten thousand laws to hurt him. He will unexpectedly pull out the Sentimental Sword and stab a sword, causing life and death to scatter. It can be said to be very sinister! When he re-cultivates the Soundless Divine Thunder in the future, he will use the zither sound to send out thunder, blowing the enemy's soul away. After finally rushing to the front, Qian Chen will pull out the knife from the zither and hack him to death...
Such a deep heart of Qian Chen.
This can completely be a magic treasure divine weapon for two sets of vests. ===== CHAPTER 129 =====
