"Friends?" Mo Shukuang frowned.
After teaching the "The Supreme Emperor Sword Sutra: Great Evolution Twenty-Three Swords," this junior brother of his had made a rather odd request.
He said he preferred the way friends interacted and wanted to be friends in the future.
"Whatever." Mo Shukuang didn't think much of it.
Like Xi Yingqing, he believed it was just words, harmless and unimportant.
It was fine to humor Meng Changqing.
After all, this junior brother was a treasure in everyone's heart within the sect.
【Successfully added Mo Shukuang as a friend!】
【Attributes pending selection!】
【Triggered extra reward: True Intent Enhancement Card *1】
The system's voice echoed in Meng Changqing's mind, leaving him momentarily stunned.
A sword intent enhancement card? What was that? It seemed to be similar to the bloodline card, used to enhance martial true intent.
"Good stuff." Meng Changqing's eyes brightened.
His sword intent was still in its embryonic form, making it seem ethereal.
To solidify and enhance it, he needed to continually comprehend the way of the sword.
But this would take up a lot of time, time that could otherwise be spent on improving his cultivation realm.
But with a True Intent Enhancement Card, it would save time, effort, and worry!
"Excellent." Meng Changqing was very pleased.
It had been a long time since he triggered an extra reward, and he didn't expect to gain such a significant one from Mo Shukuang.
"By the way, your high-grade spirit sword should be destroyed, right?" Mo Shukuang suddenly asked, looking at Meng Changqing's empty waist.
"Yes." Meng Changqing nodded.
The power of the sword intent was too strong for a high-grade spirit weapon to withstand. During the battle with Duanmu Longque, the Crimson Sky Sword was damaged.
Since then, he hadn't needed to fight and hadn't found a new sword.
"In the Divine Radiance Hall, there's a famed blade being suppressed.
"You should go and try it when you have time.
"If you can subdue it, you won't have to worry about your sword breaking again."
Mo Shukuang suggested.
"A famed blade?" Meng Changqing's eyes flickered with interest.
In his knowledge, weapons were categorized as mortal tools, refined hundreds of times, spirit weapons, blood weapons, heavy weapons, dao weapons, and sacred tools.
A famed blade represented potential.
It might not be very powerful now, but it had the potential to grow into a dao weapon or even a sacred tool!
It could continually evolve!
Creating a famed blade was extremely difficult, making such weapons rare in the world.
He never thought there would be one in his sect.
"Yes, this sword was made by the Duan family of Divine Blade Sea. It was obtained by our Spirit Peak ancestor when it first appeared. Unfortunately, this sword has strong spiritual awareness and is very proud.
"It would rather be broken than yield.
"So, until now, no one has subdued it.
"It has been suppressed in the Divine Radiance Hall ever since," Mo Shukuang explained.
Meng Changqing nodded slightly. It seemed this sword was quite unruly and difficult to subdue.
"But if it's you, you should be able to," Mo Shukuang looked at Meng Changqing and said.
"What do you mean?" Meng Changqing was puzzled.
If even an ancestor of Spirit Peak couldn't subdue it, why could he?
"That sword… how should I put it," Mo Shukuang pinched his brow, "It likes the young, good-looking, and powerful type. You get it?"
"…" Meng Changqing was stunned.
Are you sure this is a sword? Not a living person?
But this was a famed blade, so it was understandable.
Famed blades typically had spiritual awareness, or in other words, intelligence.
They couldn't be considered inanimate objects.
"Go and try it. Your success rate is definitely higher than us old folks." Mo Shukuang's tone turned somewhat resentful, as if recalling some infuriating past events.
"Alright." Meng Changqing nodded and left.
"It once carved words on the ground, calling me an old and ugly toad trying to eat swan meat!
"It really pissed me off!"
After Meng Changqing left, an angry voice echoed in the hall.
Leaving Spirit Peak, Meng Changqing didn't go straight to Divine Radiance Hall.
To subdue a famed blade, he needed to prepare a bit.
There was no rush since no one would take the sword away.
"First, I'll merge the attributes." Meng Changqing thought, planning to use the True Intent Enhancement Card as well.
Honestly, since he began cultivating, he had never had such a fruitful day.
It felt like he was continuously making friends and merging attributes, unable to stop.
Back at his cultivation place, Meng Changqing chose the "The Supreme Emperor Sword Sutra: Great Evolution Twenty-Three Swords."
This was a initial heavenly-level sword technique. According to Mo Shukuang, this sword technique had no limit.
If one's comprehension was high enough, they could continue to create more moves, potentially advancing it to a middle heavenly level technique.
【Consumed one attribute selection card!】
【Obtained attribute: 'Supreme Emperor Sword Sutra: Great Evolution Twenty-Three Swords' (Mastery)】
A vast flow of information surged forth.
As expected of a heavenly-level sword technique, its depth, complexity, and intricacy far surpassed earthly-level techniques.
Meng Changqing felt overwhelmed by the constant amazement.
Could sword techniques really be this powerful?
Was this truly a human-made sword technique?
An hour later, the fusion was finally complete.
Though Meng Changqing appeared calm, an indescribable terrifying aura emanated from him as he sat there.
Meng Changqing suddenly opened his eyes, sword light flashing within them.
The void before him seemed to split, unable to withstand a single glance!
Even the entire hall shook, and countless sword marks appeared on the ground, walls, and pillars.
Dust and debris fell, but before they could approach Meng Changqing, they were disintegrated into nothingness!
Luckily, Meng Changqing quickly restrained his aura, revealing nothing more.
Otherwise, the hall would have collapsed, affecting the surroundings.
"Heavenly-level sword techniques are truly terrifying."
Meng Changqing took a deep breath, marveling.
Even his previous "Sacred Spirit Slaughter Sword Art" paled in comparison, completely overshadowed!
The "Supreme Emperor Sword Sutra: Great Evolution Twenty-Three Swords."
This sword technique was created by numerous sword masters, consisting of twenty-three moves.
Sword One, Sword Two, Sword Three… all the way to Sword Twenty-Three!
The further along, the more powerful the moves became, but the harder they were to master. Even Mo Shukuang had only reached the mastery stage, stopping at Sword Twenty-Two!
