Chapter 57: In the Gap Between Success and Failure
“Young Master Xiao, are you alright?” Mo Fan asked worriedly when he saw Xiao Chen staring blankly.
Xiao Chen recovered his wits and said, “Earlier, my mind turned hazy and I seemed to have obtained an inheritance.”
When Mo Fan heard this, he was astonished. He quickly asked Xiao Chen to tell him the details. After a long period of time, Mo Fan said, “That person is very likely to be the Thunder Emperor of a thousand years ago. To think that he would actually pa.s.s on the Battle Sage Technique to you.”
The Battle Sage Technique is from the legendary Battle Sage Origins. It is a secret technique that was enlightened from the Battle Sage Origins. Within the Tianwu Continent, it was one of the strongest martial techniques. Back in the days of the Thunder Emperor, he relied on this to rampage around the world, and he was unrivaled.
However, the Battle Sage Technique was broken into six pieces, together with the Battle Sage Origins. Even the Thunder Emperor only learned the Changing Character Formula. If one could learn the six different kinds of Battle Sage Technique, and a.s.semble the complete the Battle Sage Origins, he would be unrivaled under the heavens.
Remembering the last words the man said, Xiao Chen stated in a puzzled manner , “The last words the man said were something about not letting her cry again. I wonder what it means?”
When Mo Fan heard it, he did not understand either. Xiao Chen then suddenly remembered that Ao Jiao had not said anything in a long time. After he had obtained the Heaven Ranked Spirit Weapon, he got too excited and forgot about her.
He could not help but feel guilty. The creation of the Heaven Ranked Spirit Weapon was only possible with her help. Xiao Chen quickly looked towards her.
With that one look, he was astonished. He only saw that Ao Jiao’s body had turned to a very faint illusionary image, as though as she was about to disappear.
Xiao Chen panicked and quickly rushed over, “Hey, Sister Ao Jiao, what’s wrong with you? Please don’t scare me!”
There seemed to be traces of tears in the corners of Ao Jiao’s eyes. She did not reply to Xiao Chen’s words. Instead, she revealed a bitter smile on her face. Throughout all the times he had interacted with her, Xiao Chen had never seen her smile before. At this moment, he suddenly realized that she looked very pretty when she smiled.
Ao Jiao’s hands kept making hand seals, changing constantly, her body turned even more illusory.. Finally, she made a hand seal that was bright, causing her entire body to s.h.i.+ne incomparably luminous.
“Hey, Ao Jiao, what are you doing?” Xiao Chen was very anxious and tried to stop Ao Jiao. However, when he stretched out his hands, he only grabbed air. His hands had pa.s.sed through Ao Jiao’s body.
Ao Jiao’s body finally completely disappeared and turned into an exceptionally resplendent seal mark. With a ‘sou’ sound, it entered into the Lunar Shadow Saber.
Its brilliance was reserved, and the internals of the Lunar Shadow Saber seemed to have some changes. Xiao Chen could feel that the might contained in the Saber diminished significantly.
However, Xiao Chen could not be bothered about this at the moment. Xiao Chen faced Mo Fan and asked, “Elder Brother Mo, What happened to Ao Jiao? How come she suddenly disappeared?”
Mo Fan’s expression was grave. He remembered the hand seals that Ao Jiao made earlier and said, “Pa.s.s me your Lunar Shadow Saber, let me take a look at it.”
Xiao Chen handed the saber over. Mo Fan received it and inspected it carefully. After a long time, the grave expression on his face slowly changed into a smile, “Young Master Xiao, you don’t have to worry. Ao Jiao has employed a secret technique to use her body to nourish the saber. She temporarily sealed the saber to make it a Superior Grade Profound Ranked Spirit Weapon.
The expression on Xiao Chen’s face did not change for the better, “What do you mean? The saber is a small thing. I just want to know whether Ao Jiao will wake up or not.”
Mo Fan explained, “The biggest difference between a Heaven Ranked Spirit Weapon and a Sub-Divine Weapon is the Weapon Spirit. When ordinary people want to forge a Sub-Divine Weapon, they require a Divine Grade Spirit Stone before they can succeed.”
“However, in this world, Divine Grade Spirit Stones are extremely rare and precious. Not to mention Divine Grade Spirit Stone, even Superior Grade Spirit Stones are very rare. However, Ao Jiao herself is a Sword Spirit. In order to turn this Lunar Shadow Saber into a Sub-Divine Weapon, she used herself to become the Weapon Spirit.”
Due to this reason, this Lunar Shadow Saber was temporarily suppressed to a Superior Grade Profound Ranked Spirit Weapon. However, someday, it will turn into a Sub-Divine Weapon.”
Why did she do this? Xiao Chen could not understand. He held the Lunar Shadow in his hands again and said, “How long will she take to wake up?”
Mo Fan said, “This would depend on yourself.”
Xiao Chen did not understand as he asked, “Depend on myself? What do you mean?”
“Try brandis.h.i.+ng the Lunar Shadow Saber in your hand and see,” Mo Fan said.
When Xiao Chen heard this, he grasped the handle of the Lunar Shadow and used a few saber techniques. There was a cold gleam on the blade of the saber as it sliced quietly through the air; it did not make any sound at all.
Xiao Chen’s complexion changed; he rapidly circulated the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation and established a connection between the Azure Dragon Martial Spirit and the Lunar Shadow. The body of the saber gave off an electrical gleam. Each time he brandished it, there was the sound of thunder. At the end of all of Xiao Chen’s moves, there was even the faint image of the Azure Dragon on the saber.
All of these proved that although this Lunar Shadow was only a Superior Grade Profound Ranked Spirit Weapon, the might it contained was something that an ordinary Earth Ranked Spirit Weapon could not compare to.
However, the problem was that Xiao Chen was not able to hear a hum coming from the saber. No matter how much strength he used, this Lunar Shadow Saber would not hum.
What is going on? Aren’t I already its master? Xiao Chen thought, feeling incredibly bewildered.
Mo Fan said, “Although the Lunar Shadow had already recognized you as its master, you still do not understand it yet. If someday you are able to make the Lunar Shadow hum, Ao Jiao might be able to come out earlier.”
After they chatted for awhile, Xiao Chen indicated that he wanted to leave. Mo Fan did not attempt to detain him and sent Xiao Chen off to the door.
They had spent quite a long time in the underground room, where the air was somewhat stale. The moment Xiao Chen reached the street and smelled the fresh air coming from the outside, Xiao Chen took a deep breath.
The Spirit Weapon was made. Although the process had some hiccups, it had managed to fulfill all of Xiao Chen’s original requirements. His purpose in coming out had been accomplished, so it was time to go back.
