Chapter 116: Chapter 27 Sword Formation - Thousand Sword Intent_2

At the very bottom of the pattern, an extra gem crystal appeared, an object that was unclear whether it was a Dark Pill or a gemstone and had lost its original color. During the process of Yue Jinghua wielding the sword, that gem crystal turned from its original dazzling red to a dark black color.

In the middle of the stone, tiny, pearly white spots that looked like starlight pulsed without ceasing.

"Who would have thought that this sword is actually embedded with a Dark Techniques Treasure Pearl," Qing Pu also examined the Great Sword with great interest.

"What is a Dark Techniques Treasure Pearl?" Yue Jinghua heard about the Dark Treasure Pearl for the first time.

Qing Pu’s knowledge naturally was not something Yue Jinghua could compare to.

He explained leisurely that a Dark Skill Stone is a type of Spirit Stone that stores Dark Techniques. It comes in many types of material, which could be a high-level Dark Beast’s Dark Pill or a Spirit Stone. Both Dark Treasure Pearls and Dark Skill Steles serve as media for recording Dark Techniques, but there are some differences. Dark Skill Steles are inanimate; they can only record the basic mental methods and mantras. Whereas the Dark Techniques Treasure Pearl is animate. It does not only record the complete moves, but it can also store the Dark Power from the past owners of the Dark Techniques.

"When you released the swordsmanship in the Dan Demon Tomb just now, did you feel an uncontrollable sensation? That wasn’t your Dark Power, but rather the Dark Power of the sword’s previous owner, which remained in the Dark Techniques Treasure Pearl," Yue Jinghua had never learned the swordsmanship of the Great Swordsmen, let alone a sword move capable of breaking the power of a Holy Beast.

The Dark Techniques Treasure Pearl was originally created by dying powerhouses to protect their descendants, sealing part of their power into specially crafted Dark Pearls. Whoever obtained the Treasure Pearl could activate the Dark Techniques Treasure Pearl by using special methods, such as the blood of relatives, a break-seal mantra, or special circumstances.

The advantage of the Treasure Pearl is its powerful strength. A Dark Techniques Treasure Pearl with a Peak technique from a Dark Heavenly Master could unleash one hundred percent of the Dark Heavenly Master’s power.

The Treasured Pearls are divided into two types: the Constant Pearl and the Instant Bead.

The Instant Bead can only be activated once before being damaged, whereas the Constant Pearl will lose its Dark Power after being used once and can only be activated again once it has reaccumulated enough Dark Power.

The pearl on the "Lianyun" is a Constant Pearl, which, despite its ancient age, still had a trace of residual power when Yue Jinghua got her hands on it.

Now that its color has changed, it’s mostly because the Dark Techniques were used and became ineffective.

"Now that you’ve mentioned it, the original owner of this Lianyun Sword must have been an exceptional Great Swordsmen," Yue Jinghua held the sword in her hand.

A fleeting sense of awe flashed through her mind; under the suppression of the Dan Demon’s blood mist, it was less her wielding the sword to defeat the enemy and more of the Lianyun Great Sword attacking on its own accord, where the sword strike was like a Panlong turning rivers and seas, or a surprise flash tearing through the sky. Even the Dan Demon, with its power of a Holy Beast, was utterly defeated by that single strike.

"Huh," as Yue Jinghua pondered, she felt a fluctuation of power at her fingertip.

In the Xuan Crystal embedded in the old sword hilt, tiny starlight-like crystal glows became active, much like the fireflies dancing in the dark night.

"Try to merge your Divine Sense into it," a hollow male voice wandered in her mind. Moved by the thought, Yue Jinghua subconsciously merged her Divine Sense into the body of the sword, as easily as the wind clears the mists, and her Divine Sense immediately sank into the sword.

In Mo Xi’s Sea of Consciousness, Yue Jinghua stood immobile like a wooden stake.

"Lianyun" autonomously floated under the starscape, emitting a terrifyingly impressive crimson light.

Suddenly seeing Yue Jinghua become like this, Qing Pu was greatly shocked; in his urgency, he forgot that he was just a body of nothingness and subconsciously probed towards the Great Sword.

The moment his phantom touched "Lianyun," he was repelled, and his Primordial Soul was bounced back. Even the Primordial Soul of a Summoner could be resisted, so what was the origin of this patch of crimson light?

Suddenly, a terrifying thought invaded his mind.

"Instantly seizing the Spiritual Sense, hidden arrays within a Spiritual Artifact. A Soul Array, is there a Soul Seizing Array hidden in this sword, only producible by the Body Seizing Realm of the Demon Clan? A Soul-snatching Array?" Qing Pu displayed an anxious expression, "Woman, this time, even I cannot help you, your only savior is yourself."

He sighed deeply and stood by Yue Jing’s side, not taking a single step away.

As her consciousness was forcefully extracted, Yue Jinghua felt as if she was traversing once more.

Her soul floated as lightly as a kite with a broken string, not knowing where to go, pulled by the invisible force from the Great Sword towards an unknown destination.
