Chapter 25 (1/2)
Eternal Life (永生) Ch. 25
Number Ten of the Shan’he Ranking
Sword light flew amid the mountain forest causing a blue explosion. Wherever it went, trees were smashed and rocks were crushed.
The ‘Spirit Wind Sword’s blade was incomparably sharp. The Spirit Wind Array on it revolving to an extreme speed causing one to only be able to see a shadow.
“Hua’la!”
With a thought, the ‘Spirit Wind Sword’ immediately stopped, suspended in front of Fang Han. It descended, went into its sheath, and stopped moving.
“With a sword in hand, monsters truly die. If I entered the ordinary world with this sword, I would be able to face an army of a thousand people unless they set up a good ambush with the strongest bows and gunpowder and destroyed my body.”
Having seen the power of the ‘Spirit Wind Sword’, Fang Han unwillingly stored it away.
He now knew that if he entered the ordinary world, he no longer had to be afraid of being surrounded by an army.
An expert of the Mortal Realm, even if they trained to the tenth level of G.o.dly Transformation, would be afraid of being surrounded by an army. An army of a thousand troops that has some pract.i.tioners of the fifth level of the Mortal Realm, using knives, gunpowder, swords, spears, bows, and crossbows, could easily kill ten experts of the tenth level.
However, if one had a ling’qi flying sword and struck first from countless li away, an army of a thousand people couldn’t do anything.
A ling’qi was the enemy of armies.
Now that Fang Han had the ‘Spirit Wind Sword’, his power had greatly increased. The only problem was that this ‘Spirit Wind Sword’s defense capability was poor. If faced with a concentrated arrow shower, there was no way for him to intercept all the arrows with his sword.
Furthermore, he couldn’t ride it and fly.
Only bao’qi level flying swords, which were truly treasures, could both attack and defend, and infinitely change their shape.
For example, one could suddenly change into a transparent steel ball, encapsulating a person inside and giving them the ability to fly. Also, they could withstand the pressure of the water, allowing one to traverse the underwater world.
However, bao’qi level magic treasures were far too rare, each one capable of creating great destruction. If one didn’t have a lucky find, or one wasn’t a prominent pract.i.tioner, then there was no way for one to receive one.
When a bao’qi was refined, one first needed a very special material. Secondly, they needed to be at the ninth, perhaps even tenth, level of the Divine Realm, or someone who had already pa.s.sed into the Longevity Realm.
“Ling’qi are already so rare, let’s not even think about treasures. This ‘Spirit Wind Sword’ is already bound to me, although Mo and her group will probably fuss over it again.”
Finis.h.i.+ng his practice, Fang Han once again used the ‘Spirit Tamer Tablet’ to call Crane Fairy over, and bring him back to Purple Lightning Peak to rest for the night.
The next day, he rode Crane Fairy to the central field of the Yu’hua Mountain. Previously, he had agreed to meet Liu Kang and Hong Yi right outside this field. He saw them both, each standing by their own crane. Their cranes were the same size as Crane Fairy, but were not as divinely pretty and bright as she was.
It seems as if these two, Hong Yi and Liu Kang, also have relations with some true disciple. Adding on the fact that first lady Fang Qing Xue has already left for the Han’hai Desert, what if the Demons and Devils this time ordered the attack on Blue Moon Country for other reasons? In the Yu’hua School, there were 108 true disciples, resulting in many conflicts between them. It seems I will have to be very cautious, thought Fang Han.
“Fang Han, you’ve arrived?”
Hong Yi saw Fang Han land, hurriedly arriving in front of him. “The people from the Da’de Empire and senior sister disciple Mo are already waiting for us.”
Sure enough, just as the words faded, tens of cranes covered the sky, and landed. It was the group from the Da’de Empire, as well as the inner court disciples headed by senior sister disciple Mo.
The people, Fang Han had all met before.
However, there was one male that had newly joined. This male stood by senior sister disciple Mo, and wore jade-green colored clothing, not the ordinary magic clothes given to outer court disciples, but also not the water-fire clothes given to inner court disciples. It seemed as if they were ling’qi!
His clothes were actually ling’qi! A priceless body-protecting ling’qi that was unable to be penetrated by evil Devils, protecting the flesh. It was much more priceless than an offensive ling’qi such as a flying sword.
The flesh was the origin of the Divine. Even if one trained to the level of Divine Realm, one still needed to take great care protecting their body. Otherwise, if their body was beheaded, any Divine power would immediately disappear, like a flame in water.
“Senior brother disciple Yuan!”
Seeing this male wearing jade-green clothing, all the others hurriedly paid respects.
“This person is tenth place on the Shan’he Rankings, Yuan Jian Kong, senior brother disciple Yuan,” Hong Yi faintly told Fang Han.
Fang Han’s heart s.h.i.+vered with fear.
It was an inner court disciple, one that was ranked in the Shan’he Rankings.
There was a total of 3-5000 inner court disciples, all at the ninth level of the Mortal Realm. Those at the tenth level, they either had top level fa’qi or a ling’qi.
Every year, inner court disciples would hold a compet.i.tion, in which ten experts would be named, allowing them to be placed on the Shan’he Rankings.
At the same time, the school would give these top ten disciples extremely extravagant rewards. From medicinal pellets to ling’qi, they were given everything in effort to increase their cultivation, and help them break into the Divine Realm and become a true disciple.
