#597 - Three Swords Mastery
With a thought from Li Chengfeng, Old Demon and Little Vermilion Bird appeared beside him like two streaks of light.
Now, both of them had stepped into the Spirit King realm, equivalent to the Nascent Soul stage experts among human cultivators, and their tacit understanding and cooperation had reached an unprecedented level.
Their eyes met, and without a word, they understood each other's intentions.
Li Chengfeng took out the statue of Ancestor Murong from his storage space. This statue was no small matter, containing true mysterious power and was extremely powerful.
He remembered that this statue had been blessed by Li Zhengfeng's Heavenly Dao Brush, leaving behind mysterious runes that caused subtle changes in the statue itself.
Li Chengfeng handed the statue to Old Demon, who quickly summoned the Sword Furnace and placed the statue inside for refining.
As Old Demon activated his magic, black flames surged within the Sword Furnace, fiercely burning and purifying the statue.
At the same time, Li Chengfeng began to condense runes on the sword embryo.
With a flick of his fingertips, complex runes condensed in the air and were accurately branded onto the sword embryo.
These runes shimmered with a mysterious light, as if containing the principles of heaven and earth, greatly enhancing the quality of the sword embryo.
Little Vermilion Bird was not to be outdone. It spread its wings and spat out strands of blazing flames. These flames intertwined with the black flames from beneath the earth's veins, further tempering the sword embryo.
Little Vermilion Bird was now able to stand on its own, and its flame power had become even stronger, adding a lot of assistance to the sword refining process.
However, Li Chengfeng's path of sword refining did not stop there.
He took a deep breath and began to cast the Great Prophecy Technique.
As his magic changed, the entire space seemed to be enveloped by a mysterious force, and a fragment of the future slowly emerged in the void.
Li Chengfeng used the Cauldron Bottom Dao Source Technique to extract this scene from the future, making it stable and clear.
This picture was abstract and blurred, seeming to be and not to be, as if existing and not existing.
However, Li Chengfeng relied on his profound cultivation and understanding of the Heavenly Dao to quickly stabilize it with magic.
Soon, this illusory picture became like a solid object, further tempered and purified by Li Chengfeng with Yin fire.
At the same time, Old Demon and Little Vermilion Bird had also completed their respective refining tasks.
They carefully put the items they had refined into the Sword Furnace, fusing them with Li Chengfeng's sword embryo.
Li Chengfeng handed the refined picture to Old Demon for shaping, and then Little Vermilion Bird performed the final commemoration and blessing.
With the combined efforts of the three, three flying swords gradually took shape.
They not only contained the efforts and power of Li Chengfeng, Old Demon, and Little Vermilion Bird, but also incorporated the mysterious power of the future picture and the supreme yang energy of the Heavenly Dao Lightning Tribulation.
When these three flying swords were thrown into the Sword Furnace for the final refining, an unprecedentedly powerful aura burst out from the Sword Furnace.
Li Chengfeng knew that on the path of cultivation, the improvement of strength was endless.
So, he once again threw the sixteen flying swords he had carefully cultivated into the sixteen Sword Furnaces, along with the previous three Sword Furnaces, for more intense refining, aiming to further improve the grade and power of these flying swords.
In this dark and boundless world, time seemed to have lost its meaning, and sixty years, a Jiazi, quietly passed.
During these sixty years, Li Chengfeng immersed himself in the cultivation of swordsmanship, martial arts, and magical techniques, integrating what he had learned and understood, reaching an unprecedented realm.
His swordsmanship became more and more exquisite, each sword containing the principles of heaven and earth, with astonishing power; his martial arts cultivation also advanced by leaps and bounds, his physical body and primordial spirit were both extremely powerful; and his magical techniques were readily available, with endless changes, making him difficult to defend against.
Finally, accompanied by bursts of crisp sword cries, nine flying swords took the lead in completing the refining, and came out one after another, happily playing around Li Chengfeng.
With a slight movement from Li Chengfeng, the Profound Magnetic Sword seemed to sense his intention and instantly flew to him.
This sword shimmered with a gray light, and wherever it passed, the power of the five elements, the power of yin and yang, and even the power of thunder and lightning were restrained by it, showing extraordinary power.
Li Chengfeng waved it gently, and the Profound Magnetic Sword turned into a stream of light, rotating around him, and finally was absorbed into his dantian, echoing with the Nascent Soul in his body.
Immediately afterwards, the second flying sword—the Sword of Prophecy—also broke through the air.
This sword was extremely strange, it kept jumping, as if freely shuttling between reality and illusion, making it difficult to grasp its true position.
Li Chengfeng held this sword and slashed gently, only to see a boulder in front of him shatter without warning.
It turned out that this sword actually crossed the boundaries of time and space, slashing from the future to the present, showing Li Chengfeng's deep understanding of swordsmanship and the laws of time.
Afterwards, the Sword of Prophecy also flashed and disappeared, returning to Li Chengfeng's dantian.
After that, the Yin Yang Heavenly Eye Sword also showed its uniqueness.
This sword was the only sword of the same attribute among many flying swords. It was like a sharp gaze of a person, and wherever it went, it was full of sword light, specializing in breaking pupil techniques and illusions.
Li Chengfeng held this sword, combined with his Yin Yang Heavenly Curtain Technique, it was even more powerful, making it difficult to defend against.
When all the flying swords returned to the dantian, surrounded by the baby fire of the ten Nascent Souls in Li Chengfeng's body, he sat cross-legged, his eyes bright, as if he could see through everything in the world.
In this darkness, a dazzling light suddenly flashed, which was the collection of all the flying sword lights, enough to tear apart the shackles of this space.
Li Chengfeng moved his mind again, only to see the long river of history rolling in, and countless historical fragments appeared before him one by one.
This was his second movement—the River of History. He could not only control the present and the future, but also see through the past, turning all history into his own use.
Li Chengfeng's heart was full of longing for the unknown and challenges to the Heavenly Dao. He knew that to gain a foothold in this vast world of cultivation, he must have power beyond ordinary people.
So, he turned his attention to the more profound Nascent Soul stage spells, vowing to create his own third movement—"Future Traces."
He closed his eyes and pondered, his belief burning like a raging fire, vowing to tear apart the shackles of this world and break the shackles of that void.
In his heart, the River of History had already shown its magnificence, so what about the future? The Great Prophecy Technique had allowed him to glimpse a trace of the outline of the future, and now, he wanted to turn this power into his own and create a spell that could travel through the future.
With a thought, Li Chengfeng seemed to have touched some mysterious mechanism. With a crash, the curtain of time and space was slowly opened.
Time and light flowed, and he seemed to be in a time tunnel. With a whoosh, he had arrived at a fragment of the future.
Although everything here was vague and not real, it was enough to prove that he had taken the first step in traveling through the future.
He knew that truly traveling through the future was not easy, requiring vast energy and a deep understanding of the laws of time and space.
But even so, he was already able to use this special ability to leave a moment's footprint in the future, and even set up traces for his opponents, allowing them to lose their way in the maze of the future.
As the strange picture gradually dissipated, Li Chengfeng slowly opened his eyes, a confident smile on the corner of his mouth.
He stood up and carefully calculated the conversion ratio of time and space, and finally came to the conclusion: "I have been here for three hundred years, and in the real world, only three years should have passed."
