Bai Qianfeng had taken Ji Yuan and the rest of the group to her seclusion chamber.
This group consisted of just Ji Yuan, Zhi Jiugong, the Lovely Empress, Ling Feiyue, the Smiling Divine Maiden and the short old man; the Succubus Queen Minami, Miya and Misa were not included in their group and were guarding outside.
As soon as they had entered the seclusion chamber, they seemed to have entered a dark spatial space and were startled to see more than a thousand swords encircling around a dark spatial space.
The short old man was gasping breathlessly when he saw the sight of more than a 1000 divine swords in this place, "Amazing, amazing."
Even the Smiling Divine Maiden was gasping at the wonderous sight of so many divine swords in this place.
But she was soon commenting softly, "All these divine swords have no masters, Just how many cultivators did Sister Qianfeng kill in order to create such a startling immortal array?"
Ji Yuan gasped when they saw the sight of so many divine swords here but there was a tingling familiarity here. "This formation looks a little too familiar?"
Bai Qianfeng smiled, "Naturally it is. In the cave outside the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth where you had given me my celestial sword and in Bliss City, you had already seen it. This is the Swords Absorbing Immortal Array where a single divine sword can grow just by absorbing the artefact cores of the other swords here."
Ji Yuan smiled weakly, "You know. My divine swords are already an emperor-step divine sword. It will take them thousands of years to become a deity-step divine sword or even a true immortal sword. Haha. I can't wait that long."
Bai Qianfeng smiled curly, "This Immortal Sword Array is customed for my lord here."
JI Yuan: ???
Bai Qianfeng explained with a smile, "You know that my purpose is not to upgrade your divine sword. When I saw that you have an immortal scabbard, this gave me an idea to implant this Immortal Sword Array into your immortal scabbard and to raise your cultivation attainment to that of a Sword Immortal Divinity…"
The short old man could not help muttering softly, "You know. I am a half-step Sword Immortal. I am way better than Ji Yuan. He is just a lowly sword saint that barely makes it into the divinity of the Great Sword Saint level."
Although he was whispering to himself but it was actually quite loud in the ears of these super cultivators.
But even Ji Yuan was actually doubting himself, "I really don't know if I can be a Sword Immortal. I am like 10 000 years too early for this."
In the past, he had never even dared to dream of any divinity above the Great Sword Saint level because there were just too many geniuses with the swords and they all had their powerful profound arts to back them up.
Even though Ling Feiyue was not a Sword Saintess but her Flying Spirit Sword Art coupled with her Unrighteous Moon Profound Force could easily put her on par with Ji Yuan by providing both offense and defense.
At the same time, her Six Realms Divine Art could also provide her with a stronger profound strength than Ji Yuan to empower her Flying Spirit Sword Art and her Unrighteous Moon Profound Force.
When all three profound arts were used together, Ling Feiyue could easy fight off a Sword Saint like Ji Yuan.
And Ji Yuan was not the only one that was constantly finding lucky inheritances; Ling Feiyue had also found a sword spirit and had even formed her golden core with the True Sacred Saint Profound Art.
Most of the time Ling Feiyue was only playing the part of a vulnerable maiden when she was with Ji Yuan but she was not weaker than Ji Yuan.
If she was given a saint-step divine sword, her profound power would also increase tremendously like Ji Yuan.
The truth was that Ling Feiyue was a young genius and she was capable of attaining a high level of cultivation in her profound arts.
When Ji Yuan had raised this question to Bai Qianfeng, she merely smiled and said nonchalantly. "There are only 5 Sword Immortals among the Desolate Immortals and they are all lofty immortals and are stronger than most of the desolate immortals. Even I may not be their match in a battle."
Ji Yuan was startled, "My Qianfeng isn't their match? How is it possible? Are their immortal cultivation higher than you?"
Bai Qianfeng shook her head, "Two of them are actually 8th realm Sword Immortals. So how can you say I am stronger than them?"
Ji Yuan was stunned, "My Qianfeng isn't a match for a 8th realm Sword Immortal? But you can easily kill a 9th realm immortal… this is so hard to believe…"
Bai Qianfeng smiled, "This is not surprising at all. Their one strike is extremely powerful. Even for me, I can't say that I will be able to tank it myself. You can ask your old master about his secret trump card."
"What trump card?" Ji Yuan frowned. "My old man says we can't share our trump card even if we are master and protégé."
The short old man laughed weakly before he said solemnly, "My Yang Thunder Sword is a sword art that I was inspired to create at the peak of my Great Saint level. And with this sword art, I am able to step into the half-step Sword Immortal Divinity."
Then he turned to look at Ji Yuan, "Therefore if you have mastered my Yang Invincible Profound Arts to its pinnacle, one day you would also be able to visualize the Yang Thunder Sword."
JI Yuan frowned, "I didn't see you using this Yang Thunder Sword."
The short old man weakly said, "That is because I didn't have the chance to duel with the Death God Mingwang yet! And also…"
He began to sigh softly, "Although this Yang Thunder Sword is extremely powerful and can create a chasm across the heavens but it can only be used once."
Ji Yuan was startled, "Then what is the use?"
The short old man: …
The short old man: …
The short old man: …
The old man frowned, "Do you know my Yang Thunder Sword is not a cultivation profound art? It is actually a state of divinity that allows a sword cultivator to exceed beyond their cultivation realm and this is what we call a Sword Domain…"
The Smiling Divine Maiden Chu Lixue nodded as she interrupted wryly, "When you display this Sword Domain, you are also able to suppress your opponents with your sword intentions. Although I can be considered a Great Sword Saintess but I am unable to visualize a new state of divinity in the Sword Immortal Divinity Realm yet. Maybe I need to work on my sword spirit abit more..."
Then she turned to look at Ji Yuan, "Your grand cross sword art isn't a sword art from your cultivation slip. You have attained it when you are trying to defeat your opponents. That is why you are able to cross the boundary to become a Great Sword Saint. But in order to become a true Sword Immortal, you must be able to create a new sword art that is capable of destroying the heavens and the earth with a single display of your sword domain. Do you get me?"
Ji Yuan rolled his golden eyes and he had an awkward look, "You are asking the weakest profound strength cultivator in this group to create a new sword art that can destroy the heavens and the earth?"
Bai Qianfeng smiled at Ji Yuan, "My lord. I have full faith in you."
Ji Yuan smiled weakly, "That is because you are my Qianfeng and have full faith in me naturally. But I wonder where the source of faith really comes from? Do I really have that quality to become a Sword Immortal?"
He had asked a frank question that was in the minds of everyone but because none of them had wished to demoralize him, they had kept quiet about it.
Even the Lovely Empress was awfully quiet as she looked at Ji Yuan with a small shimmer of hope. Usually she would tease Ji Yuan but not at this time; she really wanted Ji Yuan to become a Sword Immortal.
So were Zhi Jiugong, the Smiling Divine Maiden and Ling Feiyue as well...
Bai Qianfeng smiled at Ji Yuan with a hopeful look as she answered him, "That is because my lord has the Undying Fighting Spirit. You will surely succeed."
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
This is not funny…
