Chapter 30: The Gate Of The Monster Race
In this world, the Spiritual Treasures of cultivators are divided into two categories: Spiritual Weapons and Law Weapons.
Law Weapons are crafted by refiners based on the characteristics of the cultivation methods practiced by different cultivators. They are also influenced by the refiner's own level of skill and forging techniques.
The higher the forging technique, the more powerful the Law Weapon that is created.
A good Law Weapon can assist cultivators in battle and provide great help in their cultivation.
The other category is Spiritual Weapons.
Spiritual Weapons are not man-made, but naturally formed.
Compared to Law Weapons, Spiritual Weapons are more precious and powerful, possessing much greater strength.
However, Spiritual Weapons have a special characteristic - they possess spirituality.
Some powerful Spiritual Weapons even have their own spirits.
To be able to wield a Spiritual Weapon, a cultivator must gain the recognition of the Spiritual Weapon. Otherwise, they will be unable to control it.
This is what is known as "Spiritual Weapon recognition".
The Dragon Spring Sword in front of Su Chen is a Spiritual Weapon.
Su Chen can clearly feel a force resisting his use of the Dragon Spring Sword.
Su Chen slowly approaches the Dragon Spring Sword.
The Dragon Spring Sword is firmly embedded in a willow tree. Su Chen tries to pull it out but finds that no matter how much strength he uses, the sword remains unmoved.
Just then, a voice suddenly resounds in Su Chen's mind.
"Who wants to wield me?!"
Su Chen looks around, but there is no one nearby. The voice directly enters Su Chen's mind, making it impossible to determine its source.
"So it's a Qi Refining stage person. How did this old man entrust me to such a weakling?"
Su Chen is stunned. At this moment, the Dragon Spring Sword emits a faint glow.
Could it be that the voice just now was the spirit of the Dragon Spring Sword?
A Spiritual Weapon that can condense a spirit is truly a priceless treasure!
Su Chen approaches the Dragon Spring Sword and attempts to communicate with the voice in his mind.
"Get lost, kid. You're not worthy of touching me!"
Indeed, the voice from earlier belongs to the spirit of the Dragon Spring Sword.
Su Chen knows that the old man is not an ordinary person, and the treasure he has given is certainly not ordinary either.
However, he didn't expect that even a treasure with a spirit could be given away so easily by the old man.
Such treasures are extremely rare, and it is also very difficult to control a spirit.
Su Chen withdraws his hand.
"Hmph, kid, you know your place!"
The words in his mind come again.
Su Chen looks at the Dragon Spring Sword, which is emitting a faint glow.
Suddenly, a spiritual body appears above the sword.
It is a golden dragon!
This is the first time Su Chen has seen a dragon from childhood to adulthood!
The golden dragon is small in size, but its aura is powerful.
"Kid, how did you obtain this sword?"
Su Chen tells the golden dragon the story of how he acquired the sword.
The golden dragon complains, "How could that old man give me to someone like you? You're just a weakling who can't handle my power."
Su Chen raises his head and asks, "May I ask if you are the spirit of this sword?"
The golden dragon tilts its head and laughs, "Hmph, what spirit? I am a divine being born from the heavens and earth, a higher existence than any spirit."
"Kid, do you know the origin of this sword?"
Su Chen shakes his head.
The golden dragon sneers and then speaks.
"This sword is called the Dragon Spring Sword. Even among the many sword immortals in the vast world, it is one of the three famous divine swords. I am the spirit of this Dragon Spring Sword."
Su Chen nods.
The golden dragon is somewhat puzzled.
"Kid, aren't you surprised?"
"Surprise won't change anything."
"This matter has nothing to do with me."
"This Dragon Spring Sword is an extraordinary treasure. If you can obtain it, it is your good fortune."
"Didn't you just say that I am not qualified to wield you?"
The golden dragon glanced disdainfully at Su Chen.
"That's right, someone like you, a weakling, doesn't deserve to possess the Dragon Spring Sword."
"I agree."
Su Chen said, turning around and slowly walking towards the stone table.
...
"Why did you leave?"
"To cultivate!"
"Why do I still have such extravagant hopes if I don't deserve the Dragon Spring Sword? I might as well just stick it in that willow tree over there."
"This place is not bad either, the spiritual energy is still quite abundant."
"You!"
The dragon's eyes showed a hint of unwillingness.
The courtyard was filled with abundant spiritual energy, but for the dragon, this kind of spiritual energy was too thin.
Moreover, its rare Spiritual Weapon would be stuck in a willow tree from now on?!
Su Chen ignored the golden dragon and sat down next to the stone table, focusing on meditation and cultivation.
Having just broken through to the realm of perfection, he needed to stabilize his cultivation.
Otherwise, if his cultivation grew too fast, it would lead to an unstable foundation.
"Fool, not even a bit tempted by such a great opportunity."
Su Chen sat in meditation, silently reciting in his heart.
"I won't listen, I won't listen, I'm just minding my own business!"
Don't pay attention to things that have nothing to do with oneself!
Meanwhile, in the Veiled Spirit Peak valley.
Li Shijie and Leng Wushuang stood in front of a ruined relic.
The relic was in a pitiful state, as if no one had been here for a long time.
But everything around them indicated that a great battle had taken place here.
Leng Wushuang was touched by the scene, recalling the battle that took place years ago.
"It's been ten years."
Leng Wushuang murmured to herself.
"Yes, if it weren't for that battle back then, Veiled Spirit Peak wouldn't have suffered such a heavy blow!"
"But it's all in the past now. With the invasion of the demon race again, I believe our strength won't be as tragic as it was ten years ago."
Li Shijie spoke up.
However, she knew in her heart that if the gate of the demon race were to reopen, the injuries of the senior sisters and junior sisters of Veiled Spirit Peak would not have fully recovered.
It wouldn't be easy to confront them head-on.
Leng Wushuang took a step forward and activated her spiritual power. Suddenly, everything around her became vibrant.
Leng Wushuang probed her spiritual energy into the interior of the demon race's gate.
After a while, Leng Wushuang withdrew her spiritual power, her brows relaxing.
"Fortunately, there isn't much damage. However, compared to the previous level of sealing, it has indeed weakened."
"But it should hold up for quite a long time without any problems."
Li Shijie nodded, feeling relieved.
This seal was set by Leng Wushuang herself, and it was also the reason why she was severely injured.
Only Leng Wushuang could investigate the condition of this seal.
Li Shijie could only judge the condition of the seal based on the surrounding demonic energy.
The demonic energy that she had sensed before was now completely gone.
Could it be that she had been mistaken?
Li Shijie shook her head.
It seemed that she was too nervous.
"There's nothing to worry about. The seal of the demon race's gate won't reopen for the time being."
Leng Wushuang said.
After confirming that there was no problem with the seal of the demon race's gate, the two of them left.
As they left, the surrounding relic lost its vitality once again.
Suddenly, a very faint demonic energy seeped out from the demon race's gate and quickly disappeared into the abundant spiritual energy.
This demonic energy was very weak, and the two of them did not notice it.
