From dual spiritual roots to a sword master with all attributes

Ling Taichu inexplicably developed a sword-fighting physique, and showed it to Fang Xiao without any concealment.

This can only illustrate one problem.

That is the second stage inheritance of the 'Wansheng Tongxuan Sword Technique', which enables people to cultivate a sword physique.

And although it is said to be physical constitution, in fact it is more reflected in the spirit and soul.

To be precise, it is a certain spiritual characteristic, or a special soul body.

However, Fang Xiao could see that the changes in Ling Taichu were still very immature.

Obviously, this was acquired during the breakthrough just now.

Fang Xiao had reason to guess that this trait was most likely created based on his unique martial soul.

After all, martial arts start from the outside and work towards the inside. In the later stages, it has basically completely shifted towards the cultivation of the spirit and soul.

It is reasonable that the 'Wansheng Tongxuan Sword Technique' improves the potential of its successors by shaping special soul bodies.

As a result, Fang Xiao couldn't help but feel a little bit of anticipation in his heart.

Regardless of how many levels this second stage of inheritance will extend to, at least the stage of shaping the soul body does not involve the power of the Tao and the Great Dao.

In other words, he only needs to transform the Yuanshen Dao Sword and the Soul-Nourishing Gourd into martial souls, and then take the second test of the inheritance.

After the breakthrough, there is also an opportunity to shape a special soul body.

After all, although Fang Xiao's soul was endowed with Hunyuan characteristics due to his cultivation and physique, it actually did not undergo any qualitative changes and was still an ordinary soul body.

Although the special soul body cannot help him break the iron rules of cultivation, it can make the growth of the soul more advantageous, and there is even a high probability of giving birth to corresponding talents.

It's just like the Hunyuan Sword Body's 'Slashing Dao' talent.

Now that he knew the general situation, Fang Xiao chose to stop at the right time and stopped this "exchange" with special meaning.

Ling Taichu also reacted quickly and immediately put away the "Eternal Life Sword".

Seeing this, Fang Xiao couldn't wait to rush over and spoke quickly.

However, he did not ask about the soul, but instead focused on the 'Eternal Life Sword'.

"Master, please forgive me for being blunt, but your 'Eternal Life Sword' seems to be a replica of the Jianmu Dharma Image.

Do you want to continue this way?"

"Haha, as expected of someone who is already on par with the Fusion Stage, your eyesight is truly amazing.

But you guessed wrong on this one.

The 'Eternal Life Sword' does contain some of the characteristics of the Jianmu Dharmakaya, but this is not its final form."

As he spoke, a long sword as thin as a cicada's wing and transparent as autumn water appeared in his hand.

Anyone who sees it would probably mistake it for a divine weapon rather than a sword spirit.

Fang Xiao's gaze also fell on the sword.

"Finally? Master means that the 'Eternal Sword' is incomplete."

"Yes."

The person who spoke was not Ling Taichu, but the sword spirit standing on the side.

“You must know that in ancient times, there were many spiritual roots in heaven and earth, including many sacred trees.

And 'Jianmu' is just one of them.

Your master obtained the fragments of Jianmu by chance, but when his cultivation was still shallow, he was able to remove its form and retain its meaning, thus creating this unique Jianmu Dharma image.

It can be said that he is gifted by heaven.

The 'Wansheng Tongxuan Sword Technique' embraces all kinds of changes with the sword art, and the emphasis is on using one point to reach the whole.

With the characteristics of Jianmu as a guide, and the fact that he was born with a natural spiritual root of wood attribute, he has been studying the wood attribute for many years.

Therefore, this 'Eternal Life Sword' was forged, which is compatible with all the 'true meanings of the sacred trees'."

"Compatible with all the 'true meanings of the sacred tree'? I see.

With the 'true meaning of the sacred tree' proving the 'immortality of the immortal way', this sword truly deserves the name of 'immortality'.

But now there is only the 'true meaning of Jianmu'.

In other words, if my master wants this 'Eternal Life Sword' to truly live up to its name, he must search for all the sacred trees in the world, comprehend their true meaning, and then integrate them."

Fang Xiao couldn't help but be shocked. This was a huge project.

After all, the existence of a first-level sacred tree may not exist even in the upper realm of the spiritual world.

The fragment of Jianmu in Taichang Realm was accidentally drifted from the void after the tree collapsed.

It is hard to imagine how difficult it would be to grasp all the 'true meanings of the sacred tree'.

However, the sword spirit immediately refuted Fang Xiao's misunderstanding.

“How is it possible to search all the sacred trees?

Not to mention that most of the sacred trees have collapsed and become extinct long ago.

Even if he were still alive, to complete this task, he would probably have to travel all over the heavens and the world.

I don’t know how much effort it will take.”

You have to know that even a Mahayana being may not be able to travel all over the heavens, let alone the little Ling Taichu.

Obviously, this is not difficult, but simply impossible.

"Then senior..."

Fang Xiao was about to ask an important question, but the sword spirit interrupted him.

“There are many sacred trees, but their true meanings often overlap, so there’s no need to seek all of them.

With his current level of cultivation, he can only fuse one of the 'Eternal Sword' at most, besides Jianmu, and that is the limit.

This can only be done step by step. As your cultivation level grows, you can gradually integrate more.

The goal I set for him was the nine kinds of 'true meaning of the sacred tree'.

Of course, it is not necessary to find a living sacred tree."

Hearing this, Fang Xiao immediately reacted and remembered the origin of the Jianmu Dharma Image.

"A fragment of the sacred tree is also acceptable."

Ling Taichu shook his head at this.

"To be precise, it's a fragment of the sacred tree that contains true meaning."

Even if the fragments of the sacred tree are found, not every branch or tip can contain the 'true meaning of the sacred tree'.

However, this is much easier than searching for all the living sacred trees.

Especially this "fragment of the sacred tree", if I can't find it, can I still buy it?

With the power of the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce, as long as one can afford the spirit stones, there is almost nothing that cannot be bought as long as it is available in the lower realm.

However, at this moment, Fang Xiao had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he couldn't help but look at the inherited sword.

"Senior, you have existed in the Tianhuang Realm for an extremely long time.

When it comes to understanding the Heavenly Desolate Realm, I'm afraid even some Mahayana beings may not be able to compare."

Although many sacred trees have been destroyed, some still exist if you really look for them.

However, if you put it on the scale of the entire underworld, it would be difficult to find it.

Now that I am in the Tianhuang Realm, if the sacred tree really exists, it would be a good opportunity to visit it.

After all, with Ling Taichu's cultivation level, it is difficult for him to protect himself, let alone cross the border to find trees.

But before he could finish, the sword spirit had already guessed his thoughts.

"I know what you want to say. You just want to ask me whether there is a sacred tree in the Tianhuang Realm."

"Senior, you have a keen eye. This is exactly what I want to ask. I wonder if such a thing exists in the Desolate World."

“You…it’s a coincidence that there is indeed a sacred tree in the Tianhuang Realm.

And it is a living sacred tree.

only……"

The sword spirit paused abruptly, as if hesitating whether to tell what it knew.

When Ling Taichu heard that there was a sacred tree in the Tianhuang Realm, he also stepped forward eagerly to ask.

"But what? This is related to my path. There is a difficulty. Please explain it clearly, senior."
