46 Chapter 46 Spirit Swallowing Formation (1/2)

A two-inch silver black flying knife gripped in his palm, Zong Shou generously injected spiritual energy supported by true qi to wash through the flying knife.

Pretty much every half an hour, Zong Shou would absorb a beast spirit stone and beast crystal to replenish the true qi and spiritual energy in his body.

He also rubbed a special beast oil on the body of the knife to prevent this flying knife from being damaged by the purification and training of true qi and spiritual energy.

The flying knife in his hand was mainly fine steel, however the supporting materials were not just red copper, as there was also obsidian and some black iron.

The knife body itself was also slightly wider than the Willow Mark flying knife from before. Although it was slightly uncomfortable, he was still barely able to use it.

The entire knife training process normally lasted for a full four years. It consumed a total of three hundred Grade One monster crystals and spirit stones. The purpose was for him to be able to achieve a spiritual connection with these three black Willow Mark flying knives.

Using beast oil to brush the knife body brought the flying knife, which was becoming hot from the wash of true qi and spirit energy, back to normal temperatures.

Zong Shou used his spiritual connection to connect to the talisman knife in his hand, making it shake slightly.

It was like he just needed to add a little strength, and the knife would be able to rise up from his hand.

Knowing that the time was right, Zong Shou used his spiritual control as a bridge to connect this flying knife to one of the Cloud Shocking God Destroying sword intents. He imprinted the sword intent in a well-practiced manner into the knife.

After a few experiments, Zong Shou was more at ease and familiar this time. In just a short while the flying knife in his hand started to change, and some patterns started to appear on the black knife's blade. It was like there were clouds rolling within.

”Success! With these three knives here, I will at least have some confidence to protect my life. However, that person…”

Thinking back to that person who was looking at him in Xiaoyuan City, Zong Shou felt a cold feeling piercing into his bones.

Unfortunately in the last few days, even with the legendary Energy Swallowing Technique in his hands, his cultivation couldn't see huge improvements.

On the other hand, his soul power, relying on the Sky Mirror Soul Shining Technique and twelve God Talismans, he had reached the peak of the Focus Concentration Realm. His soul ocean was totally stabilized.

The next step of cultivation would be the Soul Observing Stage. Like its name suggested, one had to observe each and every corner of one's soul to understand its structure. Only then could one prevent themself from being injured and their soul being totally dispersed when one reached the Out of Body Realm. Even if the soul was dispersed, one could find a way to gather it up once more. However, to reach such a level, one needed to be at least at the Day Wandering Realm.

Cultivation needed time… but it wasn't like he had no way to speed it up.

This method was something he thought about these last few days. He didn't know whether or not it would cause repercussions, which was why he was still hesitating.

Just as he hid the flying knife into his sleeve, Zong Shou saw Xue'r walk in excitedly, her expression filled with joy. ”Uncle Yin said that we finally ditched those people! Young Master is really smart, choosing this path. As expected, no one else thought about it. With the Wind Barrier Formation the carriage speed is seventy percent faster than before. To think those ignorant spirit blacksmiths who didn't know anything said that it didn't matter.”

When Zong Shou heard that, his expression became solemn instead.

He had expected to be able to ditch all the people on their trail. Within this carriage, the Wind Barrier talisman that was modified could manipulate wind element spiritual energy to reduce the weight of the carriage to pretty much zero.

Moreover, it could also enable the Cloud Stepping Foals at the front to borrow the wind energy of the carriage itself, such that their galloping speed wasn't affected. When they went full speed, it would be thirty percent faster than normal.
