Separation Slayer, Giant Sword!
*Dan realm Grand Formation > Core realm Grand Formation
There seemed to be only one thing left to be done—refining the Separation Slayer.
He approached the furnace in the rocky chamber and drew out the earth fire.He spat out the Starlight Sword Shadow. It then turned into a bright crystal flying sword in his hand. He was studying it carefully as if he was trying to make a hard choice.
After a long period of time, he flicked the Cauldron Ring and retrieved a piece of jade-like rib bone.
Replacing the sword body wouldn’t cause essential changes to the flying sword, but in order to prevent unexpected phenomenon from happening, he had spent certain amount of immortal jades to deploy a Core Realm Grand Formation to hide the scent of the treasure.
The current him was no longer a nestling cultivator. Thinking back how he spearheaded all those activities in Seven Apricot City, it reminded him how dangerous the situation was. Even though he had obtained the memory of an Immortal Emperor at that time, he was still a youth. He could only rely on Ancient Chaos’ experience as his experience was limited.
Killings after killings had made him realize the truth of the cultivation world. He realized that it was neither as unpleasant as he imagined nor as perfect as the myth of the fictitious land of peace and happiness. This was where the complexity lay. The cultivation world consisted of love, conspiracy, hatred… which was no different than the mortal world. Any cultivator could be betrayed because of carelessness. So in order to avoid dying in vain, one had to be cautious at all times.
There was an old saying in the cultivation world: you never knew where the enemies were hiding while they’re stalking you!
Ning Fan’s sword sense could kill all opponents who were below early Gold Core realm, but it was still inferior to Bone Sovereign’s Absolute Realm Divine Intent.
Comparing Ning Fan’s Ancient Chaos’ inheritance, the demonic girl in the Godly Void Pavilion had an even nobler inheritance—the inheritance of Godly Void and even the inheritance of innumerable Immortal Emperors and Fiendgods.
That was why some said there were greater experts beyond experts and Heavens beyond Heavens, and Ning Fan understood this pretty well.
Therefore, one had to be as cautious as possible at all times in order to survive this chaotic world.
Hundreds of thoughts were racing in his head, which faintly enhanced his state of mind. Slowly, he exhaled and placed the Separation Slayer into the furnace.
“There is a treasure refinement technique named Thousand Refinements in Ancient Chaos’ memory. When the raw material is refined a hundred times, it become steel. When it is refined a thousand times, it will turn into a treasure and when refined for ten thousand times, the treasure will be brought to life. So one has to at least refine it for a thousand times in order to create a magical treasure. To put a vessel spirit in a magical treasure, the treasure will need to be refined for at least ten thousand times... but in truth, a magical treasure with vessel spirit isn’t a good item. There is nothing absolute in this world. For instance, magical treasures similar to flying swords will become a better weapon with the vessel spirit whereas it is best to have no vessel spirits in heavy-duty swords.”
Ning Fan murmured. Most of the cultivators would use flying swords as their weapon as they could just point their fingers to attack, but in ancient times, Fiendgods used their giant physiques to fight.
When a cultivator had to hold the sword to hack and slash, it was categorized as a heavy-duty sword. The flying sword stressed on lightness whereas the heavy-duty sword emphasized on sweeping a thousand troops.
If the flying sword consisted of a soul, the cultivator could control it using their spirit sense with ease, making their strikes very accurate. However, when a heavy-duty sword was equipped with a soul, it would be hard for the cultivator to coordinate perfectly with the sword and no one could guarantee that there would be no rejection from the sword Qi during battle.
He had decided not to put a soul in the Separation Slayer as he was going to turn the sword into a heavy-duty sword.
But this didn’t mean that the flying form of the Separation Slayer would be destroyed. Although there wasn’t a significant feature in the Thousand Refinements, there was an astonishing mystery in this method—if the flying sword was reforged and smelted more than ten thousand times, it would be turned into a magical treasure with double purpose!
That was to say, Ning Fan could use the sword as a flying sword and a heavy-duty sword at his will.
Experts in Yue Country would be shocked when they heard about this, but in the Rain Immortal World, it was far from enough. The creation of a true magical treasure depended not only on its power, but also on its ability to transform.
It was said that the long-lost ‘36 changes of Heavenly Dipper’ and ‘72 changes of Evil Spirits’ in the ancient times of Fiendgods was a very profound transformation technique.
After removing all of his miscellaneous thoughts, Ning Fan began to control the earth fire to separate the steel body of the Separation Slayer. At the same time, by using his spirit sense, he used the fire to smelt Bone Sovereign’s rib.
The rib of Bone Sovereign was similar to the bone of a Void Fragmentation expert. It had traces of soul and pride, and it was reluctant to become a raw material for a magical treasure. Therefore, it couldn’t be melted despite the heat of the earth fire.
It was because of this trace of soul that allowed Bone Sovereign to use the Bone Seeking Technique to search for the whereabouts of the bone and identify Ning Fan’s identity.
