Demon Sword Sect's Undercover-Chapter 801 - 800: Reunion with Old Friends

There are also discordant notes,

Shi Le was somewhat despondent because those companions with far less strength than him had all awakened their Self Sword Spirit, yet he was facing numerous difficulties.

During occasional sparring, he, who was always victorious, was thrashed by his younger brothers. Such frustration was unbearable, leading to a disheartened mood, with a full beard showing years of vicissitude, nearly collapsing. ƒreewebɳovel.com

Seeing the opportunity right in front of him, the future seemed boundless, yet he could not partake in it...

There were many others like him; in half a year, more than fifty succeeded, while over forty unfortunates were still at a loss.

Hou Niao felt it was time for him to step in. As the senior brother, he had the responsibility to rally everyone’s morale.

This was a mobilization meeting for over forty failures. Without words of encouragement, there were only cold statistics,

"In the past half year, I have compiled the following statistics for you all,

The first to awaken the Self Sword Spirit was Ma Lao Liu, at the God Sensing Realm, Sword Sense fusion, but the realm is unstable.

Among the top ten to awaken, eight were at the God Sensing Realm, and two were newly promoted to the Natural Realm, all with Sword Sense fusion, but their realm strength was uninspiring.

Of all fifty-two awakeners, half were at the God Sensing Realm, while the rest at the Natural Realm were still consolidating, with Divine Soul Magic Power yet to unify.

Among all failures, most were at the Natural Realm, with one characteristic: the Divine Soul was firm, and the mana was abundant and integrated.

Now you tell me, what is the reason for this?"

Shi Le pondered, "The stronger the power, the more unified it becomes, making it harder to achieve a Self Sword Spirit?"

Hou Niao continued, "I have a hypothesis, there is a saying in ancient scrolls: ’Bright Sword Qi in Autumn Star, brews Elixir Light under the Night Moon.’

The ’Bright Sword Qi’ clearly refers to the awakening of the Self Sword Spirit, and ’brew Elixir Light’ naturally means Core Formation; note, the Bright Sword Qi comes first, brewing Elixir Light comes later!

You can invite some Golden Core elders willing to try, but my judgment is that none of them will be able to awaken the Self Sword Spirit."

"Because their order is incorrect? They formed the core first?" Shi Le was suddenly shocked.

Hou Niao began summarizing, "So, if we use Core Formation as a dividing line, the difficulty of awakening the Self Sword Spirit is that the closer to Core Formation, the harder it is to awaken the Sword Spirit; once Core Formation is achieved, as the Divine Soul Magic and mana become integrated, there is no longer any possibility of achieving the Sword Spirit, isn’t it so, let’s wait and see.

What I want to say is, the reason you’re not successful is not because you’re not good enough, but rather you’re too good, you are very, very close to Core Formation, which is why you still haven’t accomplished the Self Sword Spirit after half a year."

With a wave of his hand, "As Sword Cultivators, we fight with heaven and earth and all living beings, and also with ourselves! I don’t need to tell you what to do, this is your last window of opportunity, succeed and you become kings, fail and you’re outlaws; either soar across the heavens and earth, or herd sheep and drive horses across the great grassland.

Life and death to the heavens, just enjoy it."

More than forty people solemnly bowed, no longer hesitating, no longer indecisive; an unstoppable momentum appeared on them, of course, as well as true admiration for their senior brother.

The Grassland Elder Council could no longer control these people, a group of old men who cannot embody the Sword, how could they possibly control these promising young eagles?

An eagle flock always looks to its lead eagle, living and dying together; this isn’t just a moment of loyalty, but a blend of character, status, strength, and Daoist teachings, representing the future.

The Golden Bloodline, a heritage thousands of years old, was thus seized by someone, time, fate, and fortune.

Either herd cattle and sheep or herd the stars!

In the distance, another person watched the scene before him with excitement, realizing that there were such powerful Sword Cultivators here, sweeping across the grassland sky, with dozens of Sword Lights chasing in battle, yet no figure in sight.

"Capital Commandant, I’ve arrived."

Hou Niao turned and looked at Li Shipeng, who was full of envy, "Very envious?"

Li Shipeng was quite embarrassed, "It’s my incompetence that, after more than ten years, I have not managed to birth a Sword Spirit, letting you down, Capital Commandant."

"It’s good you came, I called you because I discovered a method to awaken the Self Sword Spirit, initial trials seem quite promising? With so many grassland swordsmen succeeding, you surely can too.

But before that, you need to tell me about our Assistant Li..."

After hearing what Li Shipeng got from Li Chuping, Hou Niao had a bit of a headache; Li Chuping was afraid to get entangled with him, and he also feared getting involved with this Assistant, mutual apprehension.

"Capital Commandant, you didn’t actually get that thing, did you? Trying to open a sect with a Grotto Heaven? I support this, but can we wait a bit, everyone’s realm is still quite low, not enough to take a beating..."

Hou Niao laughed and scolded, "What sect would I open, wanting to die faster? That Pocket World wasn’t made by me, someone else did, but I got involved by coincidence... Never mind, words can’t explain it, you still need to report back to Assistant Li."

Li Shipeng waved his hand vigorously, "I’m not contacting him, too easy for leaks, and besides, my identity isn’t convenient..."

Hou Niao amusingly glanced at him, "Too much nonsense, you just want to awaken the Sword Spirit; fine, you’re indeed inconvenient, I’ll find another way."

Li Shipeng laughed dryly, to him, everything else was insubstantial and secondary; only the Sword Spirit could not be delayed for a moment.

After passing the method on the sheepskin scroll to him, he instructed, "On the basics, the grassland Daoist Sect’s Sword Refining method is more prone to awakening the Self Sword Spirit, but you are refining the sword anew, with additional changes, practice well, don’t embarrass me."

He valued this guy highly, whether it was Fang Yazi or these grassland heroes, they were fine for fighting, but not ruthless enough for those secretive dealings, Zong Qian was skilled, but the relationship hadn’t reached that level, hence Li Shipeng’s role became prominent.

Letting this guy practice on his own, he then soared back to Kangbazuoqi,

Inside the large tent, Fairy Dong was weaving clothes, all for children. Although this chore was mundane, she found joy in it, experiencing something different, it was also a form of heart-cultivation.

She increasingly enjoyed traveling to the grassland, once only for heart-cultivation, now observing a person’s rise up close; the Golden Bloodline has existed on the grassland for thousands of years, no one could conquer them, now unexpectedly taken so easily by this guy, truly amazing.

She wanted to witness such wonders, maybe see if she could be part of it? This was far more interesting than interacting with those True Disciples of the Daoist Sect, with much more room for imagination.

In such a great era, who wouldn’t want to be a trendsetter?

"There’s something I need you to help me with."

Hou Niao said unceremoniously.
