With these two points, the makings of an unparalleled Sword Immortal had appeared. It was then that everyone understood why White Ape had taken such a girl as a disciple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>White Ape was also satisfied, nodding his head. Bai Su had made progress much faster than he had expected. Initially, he thought she would need more experience to understand these things, but surprisingly, with the aid of this Treasured Sword, she had advanced a step ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How about it, my gift isn’t bad, right?\" Lin Fang said proudly to White Ape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>White Ape, who was always unsmiling, gave a rare compliment to Lin Fang, \"Your skills in Artifact Refining are truly remarkable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Lin Fang laughed heartily. It was rare indeed for the usually aloof White Ape to say such words. It seemed he was very concerned about his newly accepted disciple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the laughter subsided, Lin Fang turned to Bai Su saying, \"I estimate you’ve already seen the origins of this sword by now. It was born in a sea of blood, its body formed from the grudges and killing intents of all living beings, with Heaven and Earth as the furnace and the sun and moon as charcoal to finally present itself to the world. It’s just a pity that it was destroyed by the Heavenly Tribulation, and its spirit was greatly damaged. However, its essence remains intact, and there’s still a chance of recovery in the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Su listened carefully to Lin Fang’s words and nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for that bewitching Sword Spirit, it was the wild idea of a Sword Casting Master. Because the Sword had suffered a great loss of its spirit and had not been able to foster it, this fellow had an unconventional idea and actually infused the soul of an evil spirit into it, turning it into this abnormal creature. It unexpectedly became a hindrance, preventing the sword from recovering.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have re-refined it with Samadhi True Fire and carved restrictions on the Sword Spirit. There won’t be any of these problems in the future, and you nurturing it daily will allow the sword to gradually recover its spirit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Bai Su looked at the Treasured Sword in her hands with delight. She remembered vividly how the sword looked when it first appeared, its might capable of shaking the heavens and the earth. She did not dare to expect a full recovery, but she would be quite content if it could regain even a tenth of its original strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst the joyful noises of the crowd, Bai Su respectfully knelt on the ground to pay her respects to her master, formally becoming White Ape’s disciple and beginning a new Chapter in her life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After handling these matters, Lin Fang turned and left the Glazed Pagoda and headed to the ruined temple, where more secrets awaited his discovery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He scrutinized the idol enshrined in the temple and discovered it was not in the likeness of the gods; rather, it had a monstrous appearance, more resembling a monster. The ferocious idol’s head lay quietly on the ground, and where it had been worshipped, only a lone stone platform remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Fang leaped up and sat cross-legged in the place of the idol.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At once, his mind was pulled by a mysterious force and he entered a magical world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the darkness before him, a glimmer of light suddenly shone. Following the direction of the light, he moved forward, and an enormous river appeared in front of him, with countless tributaries branching off. The sight was quite magnificent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon sensing closely, he realized these were the qi of the Leylines, known to mortals as Dragon Veins, the vitality and foundation of all things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The temple where he was situated was a key point on one of the Leyline tributaries, constantly absorbing the energy of the Leylines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"According to this, something should have formed from this place,\" Lin Fang muttered to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No sooner had he spoken than a guiding force came from within him. As if by fortune’s favor, he reached out, and saw something leap from the Leyline tributary into his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon closer examination, it was a squarish seal with the inscription: \"Those who consume this shall be protected,\" carved in eight large characters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The instant he grasped it, Lin Fang seemed to see all that was around this mountain peak.\u003C\u002Fp>",1334,"2026-06-05T19:13:35.781Z",1,"novelbin.me","b186a863150b416d9396499708b34cc63299fc3efbe0d7280e38da9e6d9d622c","this-journey-to-the-west-is-so-terrifying-chapter-169","this-journey-to-the-west-is-so-terrifying-chapter-167",578,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-journey-to-the-west-is-so-terrifying-cover.jpg"]
