Chapter 513: Natal Mingming Feijian

Wang Yu played with the jade slip in his hand for a while and finally placed the jade slip on his forehead, slowly closing his eyes.

He was truly curious, as the same natal magic artifact, what was the difference between a natal flying sword and an ordinary magic artifact as a natal magic artifact?

In his impression, regardless of the realm of the cultivator, whenever a sword cultivator was mentioned, everyone was in awe, and they were existences that no one dared to provoke in the same realm.

In rumors, the strength of a sword cultivator that made people talk about it was said to be entirely in one natal flying sword.

Therefore, before determining his natal magic artifact, he decided to see what was mysterious about the natal flying sword of a sword cultivator first.

Time passed bit by bit.

Wang Yu's expression began to become solemn bit by bit as time passed, and in the end, his mouth was slightly open, and he forgot to close it for a time, as if he had seen something incredible.

With a "Hoo-ha" sound.

After he exhaled a long breath, the jade slip on his forehead fell off by itself and was grabbed by him. Only then did his eyes open again.

At this moment, his face was full of solemnity.

"This is the natal flying sword. No wonder sword cultivators are so powerful, and there are often rumors of breaking ten thousand techniques with one sword." Wang Yu looked at the white jade slip in his hand and murmured to himself.

This half-part sword classic was indeed as that Golden Core True Person of the Sword-Grinding Gate said. It indeed recorded several refining and nourishing methods for natal flying swords, and even refining methods for auxiliary supporting magic artifacts such as sword bags, sword sheaths, and sword boxes.

But these were all things recorded in the second half of this half-part sword classic. The first half was all talking about how difficult it was to become a sword cultivator, how extraordinary a sword cultivator was, and what counted as a true sword cultivator.

Yes, this half-part sword classic was basically an introductory manual for sword cultivators, mostly the introductory manual of the Sword-Grinding Gate itself, just missing the most critical part of the sword cultivation technique.

However, according to the description above, if one just wanted to refine a natal flying sword, whether there was a sword cultivation technique or not had no influence at all.

But what shocked Wang Yu was not this point, but the conditions for becoming a true sword cultivator described in the jade slip.

The first half of the jade slip explained very clearly that to become a true sword cultivator, one only needed to do two things.

One was for the cultivator to personally refine a qualified natal flying sword.

A natal flying sword was not refined by an artifact refiner, but refined by the sword cultivator himself; otherwise, what was refined was at most a sword artifact, not the sword cultivator's natal flying sword.

There were many refining methods for natal flying swords, and the refining methods and inscription patterns used were also vastly different from the artifact refining methods mastered by artifact refiners. During refining, one had to inject part of one's own heart blood and even a small half of one's divine soul to possibly succeed, so it could only be refined by the sword cultivator himself.

In a word, the more the sword cultivator was willing to invest in himself when refining the natal flying sword, the stronger the natal flying sword he could obtain.

This was also the reason why that Golden Core True Person of the Sword-Grinding Gate threw his entire flesh into the natal flying sword when refining his own natal flying sword.

Such a heaven-defying practice was naturally an insane act in the eyes of other cultivators, and sword cultivators were all incomprehensible.

Second, if one wants to become a sword cultivator, after obtaining a life-bound flying sword, one must also use a special ritual in the name of the life-bound flying sword to make a grand vow, in order to condense the flying sword's seed of supernatural ability.

Yes, it was not that the sword cultivator possessed the divine ability seed, but that the flying sword was planted with a divine ability seed!

You must know that Wang Yu, as a Foundation Establishment cultivator, had already come into contact with some information about Golden Core True Persons.

According to the information he knew before, divine ability was something that only those above Golden Core could possibly master, and it was said to involve the legendary Dao laws.

And these Dao laws were all mentioned in a few strokes in all the books, and there was no detailed description at all.

However, according to his understanding, the reason why Golden Core True Persons could easily crush Foundation Establishment cultivators was not only because their magic power was more abundant, far exceeding Foundation Establishment cultivators, but more because when condensing the Golden Core, a divine ability seed was born in the core simultaneously.

Once the Golden Core was formed, it meant that the divine ability seed was planted in the Golden Core True Person's body.

Golden Core True Persons would gradually master the divine ability seed in the core as their cultivation improved, thereby forming a true divine ability.

And this kind of divine ability, in Wang Yu's current cognition, seemed to be a "great spell" at a higher level than ordinary spells.

Back then, when Wang Yu first saw the Tianchan Ancestor, he stood on a spiritual boat high in the sky and used a kind of spiritual thread with the help of a little spiritual pet power to pull all the low-rank cultivators hiding on the ground out of thin air.

Such a shocking scene, thinking about it now, should be the divine ability power of the Golden Core True Person, the Tianchan Ancestor, and it was mostly likely related to space.

Therefore, generally speaking, only those above Golden Core could possibly master divine ability power. But sword cultivators did not care about the cultivation realm; as long as they refined a natal flying sword, they could use the method of making a grand vow to plant an additional divine ability seed in the flying sword, making the flying sword itself possess divine ability power.

Not looking at the cultivation realm, as long as a divine ability seed was born in the natal flying sword, it was a true sword cultivator.

Even if he was only a Qi Refinement disciple, it was exactly the same.

Conversely, if a divine ability seed could never be born in the natal flying sword, even a Golden Core True Person was a fake sword cultivator.

In this way, Wang Yu finally understood why ordinary cultivators in the same realm were unlikely to be the opponents of sword cultivators.

Not to mention below Golden Core, others were still using ordinary spells and magic artifacts to fight, but sword cultivators in the same realm could already use divine ability power with the help of the natal flying sword.

Even if it was not yet a true divine ability, just a little bit of power leaked from the divine ability seed, how could ordinary Qi Refinement and Foundation Establishment cultivators be the opponents of sword cultivators in the same realm?

Golden Core level True Persons, that went without saying.

Golden Core sword cultivators could master two divine abilities simultaneously with the Golden Core and the natal flying sword, while ordinary Golden Core cultivators only mastered one divine ability, and they were naturally more lacking in confidence.

According to the explanation in the half-part sword classic, although the natal flying sword was difficult to refine, relatively speaking, it was even more difficult for a divine ability seed to be born in the natal flying sword, which was an approximate heaven-defying matter.

Therefore, letting one's own natal flying sword possess divine ability power was something that all cultivators who stepped on the path of sword cultivation pursued all their lives.

According to the narration in the sword classic, there were more than one way to let the natal flying sword be born with a divine ability, but compared to this method, other methods were more difficult, and the success probability was even more negligible.

Therefore, the first part of the half-part sword classic only recommended this one, but the specific steps of how to conduct the ceremony and make the grand vow were not recorded in the jade slip at all.

But just thinking about it, the Sword-Grinding Gate was a Nascent Soul great sect whose strength was not inferior to Green Water Palace, and it only had thirty-plus true sword cultivators, so one could know how difficult it was for a natal flying sword to be born with a divine ability seed.

However, the sword classic also mentioned that this method of letting the natal flying sword be born with a divine ability through a grand vow also had a few points to note.

Generally speaking, the more extensive, difficult, and complex the vow made, the greater the potential of the divine ability seed born in the flying sword, and the stronger the divine ability power of the flying sword.

But similarly, if the grand vow made was always unable to be completed, this vow also became the inner demon of the sword cultivator every time they broke through a major realm.

Making every breakthrough of the sword cultivator's bottleneck extremely difficult, and thus finally being trapped in a certain realm, with cultivation unable to make any progress.

Wang Yu recalled this and gasped again.

It seemed that this method was truly a double-edged sword. Those sword cultivators who became such through this method were truly suffering and happy at the same time.

He now also understood a bit why sword cultivators were all a kind of approximate paranoid existence. It was feared that most of their temperaments had already been affected by the vows they made.

However, he had no intention of becoming a true sword cultivator at all now, and even less would he make any grand vow, so his mind finally returned to the refining method of the natal flying sword in the second half of the jade slip.

According to the introduction in the first part of the half-part sword classic, even a natal flying sword without a divine ability seed, after being nourished, had power far exceeding ordinary magic artifacts, and had already exceeded the category of those so-called "low-grade, mid-grade" magic artifacts.

If one truly wanted to compare, it was estimated that it should at least be compared to this grade of top-grade magic artifacts.

But top-grade magic artifacts were only the starting point of the natal flying sword. If the natal flying sword was refined very well, and then nourished properly later, it was feared that ordinary top-grade magic artifacts would also be unable to rival the natal flying sword, and even the natal flying sword could chase after the legendary top-grade magic artifacts.

This half-part sword classic mentioned a refining method for a natal flying sword, which made Wang Yu greatly moved.

Because the flying sword refined by this method happened to be a pure fire-attribute flying sword. ===== CHAPTER 514 =====
