Chapter 113: The Soul of the Sword! I Don't Want Such a Heritage!
Chapter 113: The Soul of the Sword! I Don't Want Such a Heritage!
The soaring sword beam enveloped the little paper man and Su Ping, who was equally stunned.
Su Ping never expected that the commotion from the Sword Heritage would be so great. It seemed that avoiding Dong Muchun would make no difference.
Since that was the case, Su Ping chose to ignore Dong Muchun, who seemed to have reacted and was about to kill with her murderous gaze.
After all, Su Ping himself didn't expect that the predecessor who set up this heritage would be so thorough. In this secret realm, there wasn't even a trace of other resources.
Fortunately, the appearance of the sword beam also attracted Dong Muchun's attention.
Su Ping imagined that the heritage would lead to another place, but that didn't happen.
Obviously, he had overestimated the prestige of this so-called Sword Heritage.
In his gaze, the sword beam slowly dissipated, and a sword spirit slowly emerged from the towering giant sword.
"My master's heritage has finally been activated. Young man, congratulations!"
The voice was aged, and the illusory body and words clearly revealed the identity of the speaker.
Su Ping couldn't help but feel a little excited:
"I've met the senior. I don't know who the senior is..."
"I am one of my master's companion beasts and the last sword spirit left by my master in this secret realm! My master was the Conqueror General guarding the northwestern border of the Great Liang Dynasty: the Fengdu Sword King!"
"Sword King?!"
Su Ping was slightly surprised, realizing that this was indeed the heritage secret realm of an Emperor-level Beastmaster.
Su Ping felt a bit regretful, but unfortunately, it was only an Emperor-level.
Seemingly sensing Su Ping's regret, the sword spirit's slightly dissatisfied tone:
"Young man, although my master was an Emperor-level Beastmaster, he was once hailed as the one with the best chance to ascend to the rank of Sword Saint. Moreover, he had once slain a Saint-level ferocious beast."
Only then did Su Ping hurriedly show a shocked expression:
"So that's how it is. I was being presumptuous..."
After all, he was about to receive someone else's favor, and the proper respect was due.
"Fengdu Sword King?"
This voice was not only audible to Su Ping but also to Dong Muchun and Qin Erlong at this moment.
The former, like Su Ping, didn't seem to have a good grasp of history.
The latter thought for a moment and recalled a name:
"The Fengdu Sword King Yu Liangqing from a few hundred years ago? The peak Sword King known for slaying ghosts and gods with a single sword? Indeed, he had once defeated a Saint-level ferocious beast, the Luo Sheng Ghost Mother. He was a peak Emperor-level Beastmaster with true strength. I never expected that this secret realm would be his place of heritage."
Qin Erlong smacked his lips and then grinned:
"Tsk, this is too embarrassing. The entire secret realm doesn't even have a trace of resources or seeds for resource birth. Did the Fengdu Sword King have his assets confiscated by the Emperor before his death?"
Obviously, Qin Erlong wasn't the only one with this thought; Dong Muchun shared the same idea.
However, they soon understood the reason for this.
Seemingly dissatisfied with Su Ping's attitude, the lingering soul no longer spoke idly but directly fulfilled the formula and the wishes of his master:
"Enough. My master devoted his life to the research of the Sword Dao and the Undead Dao. His ace companion beast was the two-stage evolution breeding of his unique creation, the Eternal Bone Sword for the General-level, and the Soul Annihilation Yama Sword for the King-level evolution!"
Wow, these names sounded very impressive! Su Ping also showed anticipation.
Although he wasn't interested in artifact-type companion beasts for the time being, obtaining a breeding method of an Emperor-level was still quite good.
However, unfortunately, the voice continued:
"However, this secret method was offered to the Jade Saint by my master, with a promise to never pass it on externally. Therefore, it cannot be inherited to you."
A black line appeared on Su Ping's forehead. If it wasn't to be passed on, why did you spend so much time setting it up?
"Nevertheless, after my master and I failed to ascend to the Saint-level, he knew the path to Sainthood was hopeless. But he had a new idea, to merge the Sword Dao with the Undead Dao, attempting to create a new companion beast! And this, is the only heritage left by my master!"
"Oh?!"
Su Ping was stunned and subconsciously glanced at the little paper man.
So, the little paper man was the special companion beast created by him, and indeed, it was a combination of the Gold and Undead systems.
"I've already obtained it!"
He said with a smile.
However, the sword spirit shook his head:
"No! There's one final step!"
"Hmm? What step?"
The voice paused, seemingly also very excited:
"The companion beast my master wanted to create was a pure Undead-bodied sword, the true companion beast: the 'Soul of the Sword'! Therefore, before his death, my master purchased two main resource materials and several auxiliary resources. In his final moments, he created it! These two materials are the Saint-level resources 'Soul Seed' and 'Sword Intent Essence'!"
Su Ping's pupils dilated slightly.
Even Dong Muchun, who was not far away, gasped in surprise.
What a grand gesture.
The higher the rank, the more unimaginable the value of the resources.
The Liu-level resources are already unimaginably advanced, and the Shen Ling-level...
Needless to say, most ordinary people have probably never even heard of the names of Shen Ling-level resources.
Including Su Ping.
Fortunately, the figure explained the purpose of these resources that have reached such a level.
"Soul Seeds, a Shen Ling-level resource of the undead, can be used on the bodies of any powerful Companion Beasts, allowing them to revive as undead Companion Beasts! Even if a Shen Ling-level Companion Beast dies, it can be revived! And there won't be a significant change in rank strength."
I'm surprised!
Su Ping took a deep breath, feeling the absurdity of Shen Ling-level resources.
If there were countless Soul Seeds, and they could kill Shen Ling-level Companion Beasts, wouldn't they be able to quickly gather an unimaginable number of Shen Ling-level undead Companion Beast armies? If that were the case, it would be truly terrifying.
However, it's not hard to imagine that such a thing isn't easy to obtain.
Seemingly satisfied with Su Ping's astonishment, the figure continued:
"As for the Sword Intent Essence, it can be applied to Sword-type Companion Beasts, not only greatly enhancing their comprehension of Sword-type techniques but also allowing them to reach the Overlord Rank peak and then comprehend Transcendent Sword-type Companion Beasts."
The Overlord Rank is a term from the Liang Dynasty.
Su Ping blinked, realizing that resources and treasures of this level had indeed started to become abnormal.
Transcendent skills! Even now, Su Ping had no idea how powerful these skills were.
The Vice President had mentioned that Transcendent skills were not something that even Monarch or Emperor ranks could fully master!
As for the specific details, Liu Fuhai didn't elaborate further.
However, the difficulty of such an endeavor could be imagined.
At this moment, this figure informed Su Ping that a Shen Ling-level treasure could allow a Sword-type Companion Beast to comprehend Transcendent skills upon reaching the Overlord Rank peak, and become a Transcendent Sword-type Companion Beast.
Clearly, Su Ping couldn't wait any longer.
Seemingly noticing Su Ping's excitement, the figure smiled and said:
"Indeed, the Soul of the Sword is born in this way! With the purest Saint-level treasure 'Soul Seed' as its body and 'Essence Sword Intent' as its heart, a never-before-seen Sword Soul embryo was created!
However, a pure soul body cannot be preserved for long.
The owner's lifespan was insufficient to find a successor and nurture their growth, so the owner used various auxiliary resources to send this condensed soul into the body of a Decaying Sword.
But with the owner's backup plan, these Companion Beasts with Sword Soul Imprints can only improve their rank but cannot utilize the power of the Sword Soul, at most, they will be influenced and their skill levels will increase faster! The Sword Soul Imprint formed by the Sword Soul will automatically enter the body of the next host.
Waiting for a successor to arrive, if they have the ability to obtain this Sword Soul, they can quickly enhance its growth through a contract! Obviously, the lucky future generation, you are that lucky person!"
Initially, Su Ping was filled with excitement.
Wow, the origin of our Little Paper Man is so grand! No wonder it's so special compared to ordinary origami figures.
Turns out it was created by two Shen Ling-level ultimate treasures!
However, as Su Ping listened further, he felt something was amiss. By the end, he finally reacted. He walked in front of Little Paper Man, making the paper figure hide behind him, and then asked:
"So, the final step you mentioned is..."
The figure laughed:
"Yes, extracting the Sword Soul Imprint from this host's body is the true Sword Soul!"
Su Ping didn't feel the excitement of a windfall, but instead stared intently at the figure:
"Then, the extracted Sword Soul, does it still have the previous memories and intelligence of Little Paper Man?"
The figure didn't seem to mind the peculiar tone in Su Ping's words, and laughed:
"Hehe, possessing this low-level origami figure is merely a consciousness formed under the influence of the origami figure itself and the Sword Soul Imprint. After extracting the Sword Soul, the inferior paper body's humble intelligence naturally disappears.
However, as the Sword Soul's rank increases, it will also develop new intelligence, and its combat power won't be affected by the lack of intelligence."
Seemingly aware of Su Ping's expression, the figure realized something and continued:
"Of course, I also see that this humble origami figure is your contracted Companion Beast. But rest assured, the extracted Sword Soul is essentially the same as the origami figure's soul origin.
From the soul's perspective, there won't be any impact on your soul contract due to the inferior paper body's death. It will only transform your contracted Companion Beast from a lucky origami figure with the Sword Soul Imprint into a true Sword Soul!"
Dong Muchun, standing nearby, glanced at Su Ping. At this moment, she realized that Su Ping's agreement to cooperate wasn't without ulterior motives. It turned out he had already obtained the Sword Soul Imprint.
At this moment, Dong Muchun was genuinely not in the mood for resentment or plotting, but instead, she was intrigued.
She could clearly see that Su Ping had deep feelings for that little paper man.
However, what would Su Ping choose at this moment?
Dong Muchun asked herself, and she honestly believed that even she would find it hard to resist such a temptation!
A new Companion Beast created by two Holy Spirit Rank cultivators!
A Sword Soul that had never appeared before:
Soul of the Sword!
Moreover, it possessed the effect of the Sword Intent Essence, and once Su Ping reached the Overlord Rank, he would automatically comprehend the advanced skill 'Sword Intent'.
This represented the terrifying potential of the Sword Soul!
Who could resist such a temptation?
However, as soon as Su Ping finished speaking, he immediately responded:
"I'm sorry, regardless of whether it's you or the Fengdu Sword King, I don't want to accept this heritage. I won't erase the intelligence of the little paper man to exchange it for that so-called Soul of the Sword."
Su Ping's heart moved, and the little paper man, who was still dazed and confused, was directly absorbed into the Beast Taming Space.
Astonished.
That figure seemed to be completely taken aback by Su Ping's response, even the remnant soul was left stunned in its place.
After ten seconds, the figure slowly spoke:
"Young man, do you know what you're saying?"
Su Ping let out a bitter laugh:
"I'm sorry, Senior. If I have the chance, I will collect the 'Soul Seed', the 'Sword Intent Essence', and the other materials. If possible, I'll follow the Fengdu Sword King's idea and recreate the Soul of the Sword, then cultivate it and offer it as compensation..."
Before he could finish, the voice became extremely furious and sharp, accompanied by the clanging sound of a sword:
"Ignorant brat, a mere Elite Beastmaster dares to speak so arrogantly? Can you afford the compensation?!"
Su Ping's mind felt like it was being scraped by a knife, and his body suddenly flew backward.
However, at this moment, Su Ping thought of the past month he had spent with the little paper man,
It wasn't that the Sword Soul created by two Holy Spirit Rank resources wasn't tempting, but the night before, he had promised the little paper man, who was excited, that he would be its 'Master' and help it become stronger!
How could he break his promise so quickly?
"Roar!"
Old Sha's roar echoed, and the wolf pack instantly surrounded Su Ping, the terrifying giant sword was immediately entangled and wrapped by tree branches.
However, the previously unstoppable terrifying tree branches shattered and exploded under the roar of that figure!
A terrifying sword energy directly shot towards Su Ping!
Su Ping didn't even think twice and directly crushed the special button given to him by Qin Erlong.
The next moment, a shield shimmering with lightning and electromagnetic force blocked the terrifying sword strike.
The terrifying power of an Emperor Rank exploded, causing a massive crack to appear in the entire Mystic Realm!
Su Ping didn't have time to worry about this, as his Beastmaster talent activated, and the entire wolf pack was absorbed into the Beast Taming Space.
Then, holding Old Sha and Da Zhuang Er Zhuang, he disappeared from the shattered space.
Dong Muchun remained silent throughout, and at this moment, her gaze was incredibly complex.
She hadn't expected Su Ping's final choice to be like this.
Giving up a Sword Soul with limitless potential for a little paper man? And almost losing his life in the process? She wasn't surprised, as Qin Erlong had given Su Ping such a life-saving item,
Dong Muchun glanced at the remaining electromagnetic force and the slowly crumbling Mystic Realm,
As the Mystic Realm crumbled, the power suppressed by the rules gradually recovered.
And this Mystic Realm was obviously about to vanish into nothingness.
At this very moment, the illusory figure turned to her:
"Future human woman, quickly go and kill that low-level human, take the Soul of the Sword, and I can also give you my master's heritage, including the method to forge the Soul of the Sword, as well as some of my master's cultivation insights..."
Dong Muchun looked at this thing and directly scoffed:
"Who are you ordering around? A mere Beast Companion of an Emperor Rank Beastmaster! My Dong family may be in decline now, but we were once the Mirror Sage's family, and I, Dong Muchun, am the legitimate eldest daughter of the Dong family. Are you still pretending to be important in a collapsing Mystic Realm?"
"You..."
Before the figure could finish speaking, Dong Muchun laughed:
"Alright, hurry up and give it to me. As the Fengdu Sword King's Beast Companion, your duty is to ensure that the Sword King's heritage is passed on, not to be swayed by personal emotions!"
Obviously, as soon as these words were spoken, the figure on the giant sword in the crumbling Mystic Realm world finally fell silent, and a small sword-shaped necklace pendant flew into Dong Muchun's hand.
