Demon Hunter and His Cabin
Chapter 630 - Chapter 630 Chapter 548 Living Sword

Chapter 630: Chapter 548: Living Sword Chapter 630: Chapter 548: Living Sword Michihiro Morita kept a wooden expression on his face. Honestly, being slapped in the face in front of others did make the atmosphere somewhat awkward.

However, considering the other party’s strength, age, and most importantly, the kindness he showed to Yukiko before meeting him,

Michihiro Morita could only swallow his frustration. Fortunately, his dark complexion meant that even if he did feel embarrassed, others couldn’t tell.

“Ah…”

He opened his mouth, only to realize that if he didn’t continue the topic from before, some issues simply couldn’t be discussed.

“Regarding what has been happening to me, there’s no harm in telling you. I didn’t speak of it earlier only because they are not strong enough, and even if they knew, it wouldn’t benefit them in any way.”

“But it’s different for you.”

Michihiro Morita straightened his back, feeling that as a Fourth Tier Onmyoji with exceptional forging skills, he could indeed speak with Roger as an equal.

“This matter, well, it’s a long story…”

I’d rather you didn’t say it…

Literally speaking, Roger really didn’t want to get involved in the so-called power vortex; it was troublesome, and most rewards did not proportionally match the effort.

However, considering some issues, he just thought that last sentence in his head, without actually saying it out loud.

Without being interrupted by Roger, Michihiro Morita let out a sigh of relief. Another direct rejection would truly leave him no place to save face.

“My Guardian Spirit is the Flame Tiger. This kind of Guardian Spirit isn’t particularly strong in attack, but after reaching the Fourth Tier, its control over fire is exceptional.”

“Because of this, along with a bit of talent, I managed to make a name for myself.”

“Later, as my strength improved, I actively helped some powerful Samurai forge weapons, among which a few became quite famous and were playfully referred to as the Ten Great Artefacts.”

Hearing this, Roger cracked a smile but did not make a sound.

Honestly, he really wanted to see the so-called Famed…uh.

“A few years ago, I had the chance to come into contact with the powerful Sword Pavilion. In reality, these places are not lacking in experienced Forge Masters, but in some aspects, I have a certain uniqueness compared to them.”

“At first, I forged weapons alone, but gradually others joined in, and we immersed ourselves in our work. By the time we came back to our senses, we realized some things had inadvertently deviated from the original direction.”

Michihiro Morita’s expression turned steely.

“They were researching some terrifying things.”

“You come from the Western World, where Western transcendents dig into their own bloodlines; this process is relatively lengthy and almost without any shortcuts.”

“However, at the same time, the lifespan of Western transcendents is something we cannot compare with.”

At this point, Michihiro Morita hesitated, “Mr. Roger, if I may be so bold, could you roughly tell me your age…?”

“Eighteen.”

Roger’s expression remained unchanged as he calmly answered.

“Uh…”

Michihiro Morita’s pre-prepared words stuck in his throat as he stared at Roger with wide eyes and a look of bewilderment.

Eighteen, you have the nerve to say that?

More like 180!

But soon, he recalled some rumors about Western transcendents and Yukiko’s intimate attitude towards Roger not long ago.

To avoid further annoyance, Michihiro Morita promptly halted the train of thought that was starting to wander.

“Ah haha… quite young indeed.”

Michihiro Morita could only make a bland remark before continuing.

“For Western transcendents, the prolonged growth process makes every transcendent of a certain strength extremely valuable because the cultivation period is too long.”

“Therefore, shortening this process as soon as possible is the goal that many transcendents eagerly study.”

Upon hearing this, Roger’s expression did not change, but his mind was drawing many associations.

Heritage Knights, as well as the later Zodiacs, and the peculiar experiments that happened to Gaharad–all of this corresponded with what Michihiro Morita had just said.

“But at Sunrise, the situation is completely reversed.”

Michihiro Morita continued.

“The strength of Onmyoji and Samurai is derived from Spiritual Power, which is external to the body. Over the long years, we have developed many training methods that can compress the period of growth at an extremely rapid pace.”

He glanced at Roger, “Mr. Roger, do you know what is the shortest time for someone in Sunrise to start formal training and enter the Fourth Tier?”

Roger also showed a trace of curiosity, “How long?”

“Five years!”

Michihiro Morita gave a shocking number.

“This is the fastest record in history.”

Hearing this number, Roger really got startled.

Even if the highest record had no universal applicability, it was still terrifying.

“Normally, for a Transcendent with excellent aptitude to enter Fourth Tier, the time is about 40 years. If it’s the Third Tier, that time is significantly compressed.”

“Does that mean there are far more Fourth Tier Transcendents in Sunrise than in the Western World?” Roger tentatively asked.

“Not necessarily.” Michihiro Morita shook his head and the look in his eyes made Roger instantly understand something.

“Age.”

“Yes,” Michihiro Morita nodded.

“Transcendents in the Western World live too long; some are said to have reached over 500 years of age!”

“Over countless years, even if the process of advancement is very lengthy, the cumulative numbers are still quite considerable.”

“But at Sunrise, although the pace of advancement is quick, there is an insurmountable limit on lifespan.”

Michihiro Morita sighed.

“150 years, this is an almost unbreakable limit for the majority of Onmyoji and Samurai. Beyond this limit, even if one possesses great Spiritual Power, it can’t offset the withering of the body.”

“So the cultivators of Sunrise aren’t pursuing how to rapidly accumulate power.”

A momentary longing flashed in Michihiro Morita’s eyes.

“What we seek, is how to live longer.”

“Even… immortality!”

In fact, the stronger the being, the more they fear death, the stronger the being, the more they want to live longer. Roger did not at all believe the stories from TV about beings choosing death due to the boredom of a prolonged life.

Concerning this issue, Roger only wanted to say that the benefits of a long life are something short-lived people can hardly comprehend.

Extending life as much as possible is almost the instinct of all living beings.

The more one has, the more one covets.

As a Fourth Tier cultivator, equipped with nearly overwhelming power, but unable to cross the mountain of lifespan, thinking about it, compared to Western transcendents, their longing must be more urgent.

Similar thoughts might exist among Western transcendents, but to a much lesser degree compared to the cultivators of Sunrise.

In their process of advancement, as they unlock their bloodlines, their lifespan also slowly increases, although they will eventually die.

But since this process is extended, it doesn’t seem so urgent.

“They’re researching this?”

“About how to become Undead?” Connecting what Michihiro Morita had just said, Roger vaguely guessed something.

Michihiro Morita nodded.

“This is a major project involving many people, and what we need to do is to craft a special weapon.”

“We call it the Living Sword!”
