Chapter 515: Chapter 328: Divine Artifact Rank! Night Illuminating Divine Sword!_2

Martial Artist, having just reached the Refining God Realm, usually wouldn’t have more than nine strands of Mana.

As cultivation progressed and his experience and Mana increased, it gradually became more substantial.

"After creating the Inner Realm Divine Domain, one could forcefully transform True Qi into Mana."

Lin Yan took out a booklet and began to write down notes.

Not everyone was like him, capable of utilizing the Qi Eating Divine Power to increase their True Qi, thus becoming bolder in battle and fearless of exhaustion.

He needed to find the key factor that could allow the excess True Qi to be stored inside the Inner Realm Divine Domain.

By accumulating it this way, until his foundation was solid, only then could he stand up to stronger beings in the Refining God Realm.

Otherwise, even if later cultivators in the Qi Refining Realm managed to create the Inner Realm Divine Domain, at best, they would only possess "nine strands of Mana," limited to the initial state of the Refining God Realm.

He tried experimenting and found this issue wasn’t difficult to solve, as there were many places within the Netherworld Inner View that could accommodate and accumulate True Qi.

He then closed the booklet, feeling quite satisfied, thinking to himself, "Another problem with the new method solved!"

But Duke Murky Spirit still had a complex expression.

His predecessor was Lord Qingling, who had also been a prodigy of the Human Clan in his era.

However, compared to Lin Yan, he seemed vastly inferior.

Fire Hell God, with a millennium of experience, was scared off by Lin Yan’s single arrow, making the old fellow empathize deeply.

He became reflective, considering his own situation and felt an internal setback.

He was originally the residual thought of Lord Qingling, heavily laden with personal desires, and could even be considered the residues of Lord Qingling’s evil thoughts.

Although subdued by Lin Lei’s Soul Detention Decree, he inevitably harbored unusual thoughts, always dreaming that one day, once he came into power, he could turn the tables, subdue Lin Lei, and regain his freedom.

But in that moment, as he looked at Lin Yan again, his enthusiasm completely vanished.

Even if one day, he regained his past abilities and could subdue Lin Lei and break free, what then?

He would face Lin Yan’s sword!

This individual, laden with the massive fortune of the Human Clan and boundless merits, a master for all ages!

Not yet twenty, yet capable of suppressing millennia-old Evil Spirits!

Duke Murky Spirit understood in his heart that his recovery pace simply couldn’t keep up with Lin Yan’s breakthroughs in cultivation!

As long as Lin Yan lived, that sword would eternally hang over his head!

With a long sigh, Duke Murky Spirit’s figure disappeared, returning to Lin Lei’s Soul Detention Decree.

From today onward, he had entirely abandoned the idea of breaking free.

"..."

Lin Yan looked deeply at him for a moment and then withdrew his gaze, feeling quite satisfied, thinking, "The old fellow has always been ambitious and malicious. Now I have not only thwarted the Fire Hell God, but also quelled the discord in Duke Murky Spirit’s heart!"

Thinking this, he sensed again the power of the Fighting Word True Mantra and Soldier Word True Mantra.

These two true mantras significantly enhanced his combat abilities.

Since beginning his journey, he only stayed the first night in a Pure Land, but was tricked by Li City’s Tribulation Ash.

He remained safe and sound, and Duke Murky Spirit managed to ensure his brother was also unharmed, but the Pure Land was ultimately destroyed.

According to the historical records of Qifeng Prefecture, a Pure Land that underwent such an event would take at least sixty years to return to its original state.

Every Pure Land was a sanctuary for the Human Clan.

Especially that Pure Land, situated on the road between the Prefecture City and High Willow City, was crucial.

This was the reason he later avoided staying in Pure Lands, choosing to travel the night roads with his brother.

In those perilous nights, with endless evil lurking, he had many opportunities to practice, exploring both the Fighting Word True Mantra and Soldier Word True Mantra, and felt deeply satisfied.

It was also the initial exploration of the power of the Fighting Word True Mantra and Soldier Word True Mantra that, when he faced the higher-tiered Fire Hell God, he was fearless and even thought of trying to kill him.

"Next time, I’ll be more careful and won’t let him escape again."

As Lin Yan thought this, his Night Illuminating Divine Sword at his waist trembled slightly, as if responding to his thoughts.

"Master, is this sword about to develop its own spirit?" Little White Ape whispered.

"The Soldier Word True Mantra is bestowed upon this sword."

Lin Yan said, "That old master who gave me the divine artifact made it from meteoric iron refined anew. During its forging, this sword received my blood essence. Like an extension of my arm, it will rise with the growth of my cultivation."

After creating his Inner Realm Divine Domain, the Night Illuminating Divine Sword had undergone transformation and became a true Divine Weapon.

At that time, under the Ancient Immortal’s Injunction, Lin Yan made a grand vow and was bestowed with the Fighting Word True Mantra.

The ancient immortal evidently saw that this sword was inseparable from Lin Yan, closely linked and sharing his grand vow, thus, he bestowed the Soldier Word True Mantra.

By this moment, the Night Illuminating Divine Sword had become every bit as formidable as the Divine Bow on Lin Yan’s back.

Moreover, as Lin Yan’s comprehension of the Soldier Word True Mantra deepened, this sword would become even more extraordinary.

"However," Lin Yan said, "Old God’s Magic Artifacts should also have a tier system."

Lin Yan continued, "This replica of the Divine Bow barely qualifies as a ’Divine Artifact’, but it’s not as good as the true Divine Bow handed down from the Ancient Era!"

"And that Fierce Weapon Spear of yours obviously surpasses this replica Divine Bow... I guess it belongs to the same tier as the true Ancient Divine Bow!"

He then patted the knife at his waist and said, "Now this blade has also reached the ’Divine Artifact’ tier, no less than the replica Divine Bow! And in the future, as my cultivation increases, this knife will eventually surpass the Fierce Weapon Spear!"

"That’s incredible?"

Little White Ape couldn’t help but reach out.

Lin Yan casually slapped the sword out of its scabbard, and it landed in Little White Ape’s hands.

With a casual swing by Little White Ape, a sudden flash of the blade sliced a giant rock in the distance to pieces.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk..."

Little White Ape exclaimed in surprise, "I thought the sharpness of master’s blade was solely due to a rise in cultivation! But my cultivation hasn’t increased, and in the past, this stroke should have only split that boulder in half from a thousand steps away, yet now it’s totally shattered?"

Lin Lei, listening to their conversation, smiled and said, "A fitting weapon can significantly boost battle power! Especially a Divine Artifact, it’s exceptionally remarkable. Even a Martial Artist in the Qi Refining Realm wielding an Old God’s Magical Object can possess the power of Refining God..."

"You’re absolutely right, brother," Lin Yan said with a laugh, beckoning with his hand, and the Night Illuminating Divine Sword trembled and flew back to his hand.

Having reached the tier of Divine Artifact, this sword would eventually gain sentience.

When that time comes, Lin Yan, by infusing his mana, may very well allow the sword to fight enemies on its own.

Just like that Fierce Weapon Spear, whose original owner disappeared into the annals of time, but the residual mana, awakening after long ages, could evolve into a Blood Slaughter God General, growing stronger with each battle!

He was somewhat eager for the future when, after a period of secluded cultivation, planting this sword at his door could fend off significant foes.

"When will I be able to completely subdue this Fierce Weapon Spear and make it obey me too?"

Little White Ape was quite emotional and muttered to itself.

"Continue your diligent training and do not slack off, I have been using all my salary from the Observatory lately to sustain you," Lin Yan glanced at it and added, "With all the elixirs you’ve eaten and all the medicinal baths you’ve had in the prefecture city, how come you haven’t broken through yet?"

The bloodline power of Little White Ape, once entering the Nirvana Divine Egg, could be utilized by Lin Yan, thereby increasing his combat ability.

Hence, the stronger this little creature became, the more it benefited him.

However, as Lin Yan’s Landscaping Technique succeeded, the bloodline power of Little White Ape now seemed somewhat trivial.

"Soon, soon," Little White Ape, scratching its head, said, "I’m anxious too! Who can fill up their cultivation with Evil Qi like you, master?"

—

High Willow City, the new district area.

All obstacles for the new city expansion had been resolved before Wu Chang departed.

Thus, the new city was being established swiftly: the first square had already been built, the base of the second square was laid, and the third square area had been marked out, with construction underway.

At this moment, on the fringes of the new city.

Deputy Commander Zhou Yuan, General Flag Envoy Han Zheng, Linjiang Square Chief Clerk Yang, Meng Lu, and a host of junior officers were waiting quietly, their gazes directed forward.

"Will they arrive today?"

Han Zheng turned his head slightly and whispered.

"If there are no unforeseen delays, the Saint Master should arrive before noon," Zhou Yuan said, excitement evident in his tone, "It’s a pity that the Commander, having closed his retreat just before receiving the news of the Saint Master’s return, couldn’t make it... otherwise, he would definitely have been here to welcome him."

"The Commander?"

Han Zheng’s expression changed slightly, a touch of worry in his tone, "His condition is getting more and more serious."

Zhou Yuan let out a breath and said, "The Temple has adjusted the Heavenly Observation Divine Mirror to monitor day and night, there are no signs of losing control."
