Primordial Star Scripture

Just as Ye Chen stood up, the sword-shaped seed, a deep blue like water, floating before Jiang Yao's snow-white forehead suddenly shot towards the center of her brow.

A faint pattern of enchantments rippled on the spot between Jiang Yao's eyebrows, and the entire "Ghostly Water Flying Sword" merged into Jiang Yao's Sword Palace Acupoint.

The Ghostly Water Flying Sword, likewise, had successfully acknowledged its master!

Jiang Yao slowly closed her beautiful eyes, quietly sensing the "Ghostly Water Flying Sword" that had just accepted her as its master, and after a long time, she then opened her eyes.

When she opened her eyes, a shallow smile appeared on her delicate little face, and her small dimples were irresistibly enticing.

"Ye Chen."

Jiang Yao turned her head to look at Ye Chen and saw his smiling gaze directed at her.

From Ye Chen's look, she knew that, just like her, he also had succeeded in having a flying sword acknowledge him as master.

"Congratulations to you both!"

At that moment, Qian Jizi's voice came over, his tone also contained a trace of joy.

Ye Chen and Jiang Yao had obtained the Flying Sword Heritage, and Qian Jizi was genuinely happy for them!

"Elder Qian Jizi!"

Both Ye Chen and Jiang Yao stood up and walked towards Qian Jizi, bowing deeply to him.

The "Crimson Fire" and "Ghostly Water" flying swords were originally obtained by Qian Jizi and Lian Yue in the Sea God Palace; these swords were imbued with their hard work and, to a certain extent, Lian Yue's injury was even related to these swords!

That Ye Chen and Jiang Yao had become the masters of this pair of flying swords, of course, they were extremely grateful to Qian Jizi and Lian Yue.

"Elder, who is the person you mentioned earlier who betrayed and fled?"

"Now that Jiang Yao and I have successfully made the flying swords recognize us as masters, we will certainly fulfill that requirement!"

Ye Chen said to Qian Jizi.

Previously, Qian Jizi had mentioned that the person who obtained the Flying Sword Heritage must capture the one who severely injured Lian Yue and then fled, and bring them back to the Thousand Lotus Cave Abode when they could; Ye Chen had already agreed to this.

This promise had never been forgotten by Ye Chen, and now he brought it up again.

"Yes, please inform us about that person, elder," Jiang Yao also looked towards Qian Jizi.

Qian Jizi had not spoken before because Ye Chen and Jiang Yao had not yet made the flying swords accept them as masters, but now that the two were the masters of the twin "Crimson Fire" and "Ghostly Water" flying swords, he no longer hesitated.

"That person who fled is called 'Heavenly Saint Tuoshan'!"

With a gesture from Qian Jizi's hand, a figure appeared within the void.

It was a somewhat hunched old man with white hair, full of wrinkles, leaning on a black cane; he appeared like a dying old man.

But Ye Chen and Jiang Yao knew that someone who could be called a "Heavenly Saint" was far from dying, and probably with just the flick of a finger, could turn countless True Qi Realm and Spirit Sea Realm powerhouses into ash.

"Heavenly Saint Tuoshan!"

The two of them memorized the visage and the name.

Looking at the figure of Heavenly Saint Tuoshan in the void, Qian Jizi's eyes revealed hatred, "This Heavenly Saint Tuoshan, also known as 'Elder Tuoshan', lives on the chaotic sea's Manduo Mountain and is the lord of Manduo Mountain. He usually presents himself as extremely modest and benevolent, no one would have expected him to be so ruthless and vicious!"

"Lian Yue and I, we misjudged him!"

"If you encounter him one day, you must not be deceived by him; you must be careful of that black cane! He has never revealed that he was a Sword Cultivator. Even when we went to the Heavenly Saint Realm for the sword fighting conference, he only said he was accompanying Lian Yue and me to watch.

No one would have guessed that his black cane was actually formed by an array of eighty-six Spirit Swords. The techniques he had hidden were on par with mine!"

Hearing Qian Jizi's words, Ye Chen's heart sank heavily; this Elder Tuoshan truly had deep schemes to hide his capabilities so thoroughly, revealing them only at the last moment to betray and attack his peers!

"Ye Chen, Jiang Yao, as for this Elder Tuoshan, you are not capable of dealing with him now. What I ask for is only a future," Qian Jizi then looked back at Ye Chen and Jiang Yao.

"The flying swords I gave you are to be a hidden trump card for you. We may not be as treacherous and betray others like Tuoshan, but we must also have our own cards to play."

"Having a hidden trump card like this could save your lives at a critical moment!"

"At all times, you must prepare more thoroughly, only by surviving can you grow to a sufficiently high level!"

Qian Jizi's words made Ye Chen and Jiang Yao nod incessantly.

They knew that these were the personal insights Qian Jizi had gained after many long years of cultivation.

"Lian Yue and I, we trusted those three people too much, which led us to fully unleash our abilities at the Heavenly Saint Realm Sword Fighting Tournament. If not for that, we wouldn't have ended up with the outcome we face today," he said with a sigh, looking at Ye Chen.

"Ye Chen, I see that all your techniques are those of a Sword Cultivator. In the future, you must cultivate other martial techniques as well. You may treat Sword Cultivator techniques as your main discipline, but you must not make it your only one," Qian Jizi instructed.

"Yes, thank you for your guidance, senior!" Ye Chen nodded in agreement.

He also had thoughts in his heart to cultivate several other martial techniques in order to diversify his own methods.

Qian Jizi then turned to look at Jiang Yao, "Jiang Yao, I'm not too worried about you; you're only seventeen and already at the initial stage of the Spirit Sea Realm. You have come far in the realm of True Qi, and it is evident that the Sword Cultivator techniques you use were learned halfway through your journey."

"Yes, senior, after attending the Rotating Pill Realm Sword Fighting Tournament with my master, I began to cultivate a set of sword techniques," Jiang Yao replied, nodding her small head.

Ye Chen had heard from Jiang Yao that her most formidable technique was actually a kind of Bloodline Secret Skill, an extremely powerful True Qi Secret Skill and exclusive martial technique; it was only after she turned fourteen that she began to train in Swordsmanship.

In just three years of training, she had already grasped the Sword Intent Realm. Jiang Yao's talent in the sword path was equally formidable.

"Very well, I hope that one day you both can ascend to the Heavenly Saint Realm or even one day surpass the Heavenly Saint Realm and step into the legendary Supreme Divine Realm!"

"Perhaps by the time my true body returns from the minor spirit realm, the both of you will have become incredibly powerful," Qian Jizi said to Ye Chen and Jiang Yao with a smile.

"The 'Flying Sword Heritage' of the Thousand Lotus Cave Abode already has an inheritor. Before you leave, I will tell you a few more things about flying swords, which you must remember."

"A flying sword is a treasured companion of a Sword Cultivator, which needs continuous nurturing to become more and more powerful."

"The quality of a flying sword itself determines the final tier of the flying sword once it is fully cultivated. The pair of flying swords you've assimilated into the Sword Palace Acupoint are of 'Sacred Artifact' grade; that is to say, once you've fully cultivated them, this pair of flying swords can become true Sacred Artifacts!"

"A Sacred Artifact is sufficient for you to use all the way to the Heavenly Saint Realm, just like this Thousand Lotus Cave Abode of mine, which is a spatial Sacred Artifact."

"To nurture a flying sword, you need Sword Qi Spirit Liquid. The Sword Qi Spirit Liquid you extracted from the Lotus Sword Pool comes from the Tai'a Sword Sect, the great sword faction that Lian Yue and I once joined. It contains 'Tai'a Sword Qi', a tremendously powerful form of Innate Sword Qi."

"The Sword Qi Spirit Liquid should be enough for you to nurture the flying swords you've assimilated. Of course, if you can find other types of Innate Sword Qi in the future, you can assimilate it into the Sword Palace Acupoint to continue nurturing your flying swords."

"Lastly, I will tell you about the three major combat capabilities of a flying sword."

Upon saying this, Qian Jizi's expression turned serious.

Ye Chen and Jiang Yao, who had been listening attentively, sensed the gravity in Qian Jizi's tone and grew even more focused, realizing that what was to follow was extremely important for them as the owners of flying swords.

"A so-called flying sword, hidden within the Sword Palace Acupoint, serves as a kind of secret technique, a powerful concealed method!"

"Therefore, this secret should not be used frequently; reserve it for critical moments."

"The three major combat capabilities of a flying sword are its 'Normal State', 'Life-bound Flying Sword Breakage', and 'Flying Sword Self-Destruction'!"

"Under its Normal State, the flying sword can aid you in regular combat."

"Life-bound Flying Sword Breakage involves sacrificing the flying sword's own quality to boost combat power suddenly. For example, Ye Chen is now at the True Qi Realm, but if he uses the 'Crimson Fire Life-bound Flying Sword Breakage', he can be a match for a Spirit Sea Realm expert.

However, Life-bound Flying Sword Breakage must not be used lightly because once employed, the flying sword will fall into a deep slumber until it repairs itself, after which it can be used again."

"If Ye Chen were to use Crimson Fire's breakage against a late-stage Spirit Sea Realm individual, the flying sword would need at least a thousand years to recover. Even if used against a mid-stage Spirit Sea Realm person, the sword would have to sleep for at least a century!"

"Therefore, the combat power of Life-bound Flying Sword Breakage should not be deployed casually!"

When Qian Jizi talked about Ye Chen being able to match Spirit Sea Realm experts with Life-bound Flying Sword Breakage, a flicker of sharp light appeared in Ye Chen's eyes, but neither Qian Jizi nor Jiang Yao, deeply engrossed in their discussion, noticed his expression.

"Lastly, we come to Flying Sword Self-Destruction," he said, his voice growing heavy.

"Flying Sword Self-Destruction is an utter unleashing of the flying sword's life-bound quality, releasing all its power at once! Under such circumstances, it can even exhibit the strongest state of a mature life-bound flying sword!"

"But this should only be used in a life-and-death situation and not otherwise, because once a flying sword self-destructs, you, deeply connected with the sword in spirit, will also suffer a severe blow. At that point, not only will the flying sword be destroyed, but your Sword Palace Acupoint will also be completely shattered!"

"Back when Lian Yue and I encountered betrayal and an attempt on our lives by Tuoshan and the others, Lian Yue's flying sword self-destructed in the end. Although it killed two of them and gravely wounded another, from that moment on, Lian Yue fell into a deep unconsciousness."

"You must remember that while 'Life-bound Flying Sword Breakage' can be used once or twice, 'Flying Sword Self-Destruction' must absolutely not be used unless it is a matter of life or death!"

Qian Jizi looked at Ye Chen and Jiang Yao earnestly as he spoke.
