Chapter 1944: Chapter 716: Relics of the Two True Ones, The Sword Array Returns
Vaguely, Black King understood the principle of Luo Chen’s move.
Using the Innate Seal as the base, the Slave Spirit Mark enslaved the Heaven and Earth Qi, allowing the originally unremarkable Qingyang’s Great Handprint to break through its limit.
Qingyang’s Great Handprint, swept across eight hundred miles!
Any bit of arrogance brought by the breakthrough to the Fourth Order vanished completely in front of Luo Chen’s strike.
Luo Chen still stood in mid-air, watching as the remaining power of Qingyang’s Great Handprint had not faded, the Infinite Sea Water surging over that Heaven Connecting Avenue, a satisfied expression on his face.
Being able to make a technique that was originally only at the Third Order Stage break through its limit, and without relying on the Attribute Panel, was indeed something to be proud of.
As expected, his talent in the path of techniques was undeniable.
Glancing at Black King, Luo Chen waved his hand and returned to Earth Abyss by himself.
Three days later, good fortune came once more.
Han Zhan’s storage bag had its prohibitions completely undone by him.
The speed of this was somewhat unexpected, but not surprising.
Because the storage bag itself was of low order, Han Zhan hadn’t put much effort into leaving marks on it, and since Luo Chen had absorbed his soul fragment, it went this smoothly.
Opening the storage bag, Luo Chen continuously took out the items inside.
The Ten Thousand Soul Banner and a set of Qi Sha Swords weren’t surprising, they originally belonged to Luo Chen.
He did not really care about them now; these items had become somewhat useless for him now.
Next were the Spirit Stones.
As Luo Chen held the diamond-shaped crystal stone in his hand, he couldn’t help but pause.
It had color, and was dazzlingly golden!
What did this mean?
Top Grade Spirit Stones!
And there were ten!
A full ten pieces of Metal Attribute Top Grade Spirit Stones, where did Han Zhan get these from?
Soon, he suddenly understood.
"It must be what he gained in the Puppet Realm!"
"Previously, I noticed the White Tiger Puppet had several grooves, clearly meant for holding Spirit Stones. And such high-order puppets generally can’t be driven by ordinary Spirit Stones. Evidently, these Top Grade Spirit Stones were the energy sources."
"An unexpected surprise, indeed!"
Luo Chen beamed with joy as he put away the ten Metal Attribute Top Grade Spirit Stones.
Then, he took out the last item from the storage bag.
It was a wooden plaque.
A plaque made of Soul Nourishing Wood.
Holding the plaque, Luo Chen shook his head; with no soul remnants around him, the plaque had no use for the time being.
Best to keep it; it might come in handy someday.
Just as Luo Chen was about to put it away, his Divine Consciousness suddenly paused.
He carefully scanned into it, and some information carved on the plaque flowed into his mind.
After finishing reading, a look of astonishment and delight appeared on Luo Chen’s face.
A sword array was recorded inside!
Its name was, the Great Five Elements Sword Formation!
Back then, as Han Zhan acquired Luo Chen’s Qi Sha Swords, in order to explore the Land of Fallen Demons, he developed a sword array capable of controlling the Qi Sha Swords without the original Qi Sha Sword Formation.
This was something Luo Chen had known for a long time, even that Soul Heaven Sword Case was entrusted by Han Zhan to be refined.
But what he did not know was the process involved.
Han Zhan had long mastered a Taiji Five Elements Sword Array, using it as a blueprint to develop the Qi Sha Sword Formation.
After completing the Qi Sha Sword Formation, he got inspired to improve the early Taiji Five Elements Sword Array, eventually coming up with this brand-new Great Five Elements Sword Formation.
According to it, if this sword array could be formed, its power would be boundless, definitely no less than the Taiji Five Elements Sword Array.
Luo Chen had always been envious of sword arrays.
Sword instruments had always been the most commonly used magic items for Cultivators, convenient, fast, and powerful.
Array, was synonymous with powerfulness.
Combining the two into one allows triggering at any time, making one feel invincible.
On what grounds did Han Zhan dare to confront the well-known True Master Yu Ding upon first entering the Nascent Soul Stage, and why did he dare to initiate warfare against the Howling Demon Emperor? It was all with the complete sect’s effort creating a sword array for him.
In the Land of Fallen Demons, Luo Chen also fell into a bitter battle due to Feiyun Zi’s sword array.
If it weren’t for relying on his physical body by entering the array with his own body to lure Feiyun Zi close, under the Platinum Sword Formation, if not dead, he would be heavily injured.
It could be said that any sword array with a name was something countless weaker cultivators dreamed of.
Luo Chen was not weak, but he wouldn’t mind having an extra trump card.
Especially when his current means were lacking.
However, after thoroughly studying the Great Five Elements Sword Formation, Luo Chen’s expression calmed down.
Reason being!
This sword array, refined by Han Zhan, displayed greater power than before but also imposed higher demands.
To form this sword array, it no longer required five sword cultivator puppets, but replaced them with the need for five True Device Level Sword Pills, each representing one of the Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth Elements.
This way, the control becomes even more flexible, the power more concentrated, especially removing the weakness of the puppet sword cultivator.
"This should have been something he devised for self-protection once he regained a physical body."
"But where would I find True Instrument level Five Elements Sword Pills?"
Luo Chen could only smile bitterly.
Sword Pill!
True Device Level!
Also divided into Five Elements!
Even at the peak of the Yu Ding Sword Sect, gathering so many sword pills would have been a challenge!
With a bitter smile, Luo Chen reluctantly put away the Soul Nurturing Wooden Plaque.
He began to focus, refining the Penglai Octagon Pavilion and Feiyun Zi’s belt.
...
Three years later.
Luo Chen looked at the ground glittering with treasure light, gripping a jade slip in one hand and a gold pill in the other, his expression somewhat in a daze.
On the jade slip, spirit light flickered intermittently, titled "Feiyun Jian Refinement Record".
It documented the lifelong refining insights of the artifact master Feiyun Zi.
But those were not important.
What was important was that at the end of this refining manual, it recorded the method to refine True Device Level Sword Pills!
Besides being an artifact refiner, Feiyun Zi was also a powerful orthodox Sword Cultivator.
Upon examining the gold pill closely, under the intricate prohibition seals, gold threads squirmed within.
This was an unrefined Metal Attribute Sword Pill!
Its order astonishingly had reached the True Device Level!
Had it only been these individual gains, Luo Chen would not have been so unnerved.
But when combined with the Great Five Elements Sword Formation obtained three years ago, how could such a coincidence in the world exist...
"Does this not count as turn misfortune into fortune, bad luck turning into good?"
Murmuring to himself, Luo Chen looked down at the two items in his hands, a complex emotion in his eyes.
