Chapter 638 – Incomplete Sword (1/2)
In the end, all of the strokes linked up with one another like building blocks, forming the black body of a sword. It roughly stretched from the tip of the sword to the sword’s centre, but it was incomplete.
The radiant glow on the Three Absolutes Calligraphy immediately began to subside. Li Qingshan opened his eyes, only to see the scroll was no longer covered in criss-crossing strokes. Instead, it formed an incomplete sword like the sword in his sea of consciousness.
The strands of obstinate and unruly sword qi in his sea of qi automatically merged together. There were now three identical swords, one on the scroll, one in his sea of consciousness, and one in his dantian. They all possessed the essence of calligraphy, painting, and the sword.
So this is what the Three Absolutes Calligraphy originally looked like. The complete Three Absolutes Calligraphy must be depicting a sword, but after being separated, all the brush strokes were split up, which lead to a marvellous combination of strokes like that.
Refining the Three Absolutes Calligraphy is basically even more dangerous than confronting a Golden Core cultivator. If I hadn’t practised the Nine Transformations of the Demonic and Divine, I probably would have been done for!
Li Qingshan relaxed the spirit turtle’s suppression, and the incomplete sword in his dantian automatically began absorbing spiritual qi again. He was mildly surprised, but he discovered very soon that this absorption could be controlled. And, as it continued, the sword Qi would become sharper.
He could recover spiritual qi very quickly anyway with the Arts of the Boundless Ocean, so he allowed the incomplete sword to absorb spiritual qi. He ingested a pill that could recover spiritual qi and waited to see how far it could grow.
At this moment, he felt a ball of spiritual qi rapidly approach him. The surrounding temperature suddenly plummeted.
Are they finally here?
He raised his head and looked around. A blue ball of ice descended from above, wrapped in a cold current.
However, the strange part was the ice ball did not target him. Instead, it landed far away at the foot of the mountain, kicking up an icy storm and swallowing the space within around a hundred meters.
A Qi Practitioner reacted a little slowly and was sucked in. Immediately, he was reduced to an ice statue before turning into dust. Even the spiritual artifact sword in his hand was not spared.
What powerful coldness.
He vaguely recalled seeing a frosty woman on the Soaring Clouds terrace. She was probably the master of the Ice Couple palace, but because she was only at early Golden Core, he had not paid too much attention to her.
Is something happening outside?
Li Qingshan was clueless about Asura Fields, so he was unable to guess the reason behind this. He wanted to send his clone over to take a look, which would also give him an additional card he could use in emergencies. However, the clone was currently refining the water with the Water God Seal, so he refused to take this risk.
Fortunately, the carp he had named as Li’l Red happened to be circling around his clone, asking for pills to eat as it splashed around. He came up with an idea and said, “Open up your mouth!”
Li’l Red immediately opened his huge mouth. His blank eyes seemed to be filled with anticipation.
Li Qingshan sealed off the Water God Seal’s aura and left some of his soul sense in there before tossing it into Li’l Red’s mouth. “You sure are lucky. Hurry up and swim back to Moon Court lake! If you lose it, hmph, have you heard of a dish called sweet and sour carp?”
Li’l Red opened his huge mouth again as if he wanted to try out the taste of that dish.
Smack! Li Qingshan slapped his head. “That means I’ll be throwing you into the pot!”
