Rebirth of a Reincarnated Immortal Cultivator

Chapter 40 Nine-Turn Wandering Sword

Stepping into the alchemy room of the Imperial Sword Sect and pushing open the long-sealed door, a musty smell filled my nostrils.

The ground was littered with bottles and jars, and various pills were scattered all over the place.

Unfortunately, these pills had lost their potency due to the passage of time and could no longer be taken.

Han Li picked up the pill from the ground, sniffed it, shook his head, and put it back on the ground.

He then arrived at a secluded alchemy room, where many bookshelves were arranged. Unfortunately, the bookshelves had already been looted, and he didn't find much of a treasure.

Han Li was somewhat annoyed. The records in this pill room likely contained various rare medicinal formulas collected by the Imperial Sword Sect, among which the whereabouts of the Heaven-Mending Pill formula might be found.

The refining techniques for pills like the Heaven-Mending Pill, which are highly beneficial for advancing to the Nascent Soul stage, have long been lost. The Heaven-Mending Pills that remain in the cultivation world today are either obtained from the caves of ancient cultivators or left behind by senior members of sects.

However, those who can truly refine the Heaven-Mending Pill are almost nonexistent. This has resulted in the current cultivation world having only a handful of cultivators capable of reaching the Nascent Soul stage.

Without taking the Heaven-Mending Pill, those who advance to the Nascent Soul stage are all exceptionally fortunate.

Han Li thoroughly searched the alchemy room, inside and out, but finding nothing else, he sighed and looked up at the sky. He spent three days refining some Qi-replenishing pills using the medicinal herbs he obtained from the ruins. Confirming there were no further gains, he then chose to leave.

The ruins of the Imperial Sword Sect are vast, and due to the array restrictions, it is impossible to fly at high altitudes. In addition, there are powerful enemies lurking all around. Han Li decisively abandoned the idea of ​​using the Lightness Technique to travel, because he did not know when these people would suddenly attack.

Therefore, it would be better to walk there, which would save some magic power.

Because of his training in martial arts, and because he had mastered the first level of Body Tempering Technique to perfection, his speed was still quite fast even without using the Lightness Technique and Wind Control Technique.

Following the ancient architectural ruins westward, Han Li arrived at the summit of a massive mountain.

All around, ancient lapis lazuli towers stood tall, reaching into the clouds. Lapis lazuli is an extremely tough material, and its inherent spirit-gathering effect is comparable to some small spirit-gathering arrays. Such tall lapis lazuli towers, if placed in a place rich in spiritual energy, would definitely be able to gather a large amount of spiritual energy.

However, the current situation is that the spiritual energy here is not very strong, only slightly better than Han Li's cave.

It is evident that the spiritual veins of the Imperial Sword Sect were likely forcibly extracted long ago; otherwise, how could the spiritual energy be so thin under the convergence of the lapis lazuli?

The reason why the lapis lazuli tower was not taken away is probably because it is of vital importance to the Imperial Sword Sect ruins. Taking it away would cause irreversible damage, so it was left here.

After a brief analysis, Han Li had a fairly good understanding of the Imperial Sword Sect.

Directly in front of these rows of towering lapis lazuli towers, an incomparably magnificent pavilion came into Han Li's view. Built against the mountain, this pavilion was a hundred feet tall, and even after hundreds of years of vicissitudes, it remained majestic and imposing.

The three large characters "Scripture Pavilion" are prominently displayed on the gilded plaque.

Although these three characters seem ordinary, they exude an inexplicable and profound meaning. Upon closer inspection, one feels a momentary daze, and the sword energy within one's body involuntarily surges forth, flowing into the golden characters before one's eyes.

As the threads of sword energy surged in, the words seemed to come alive, transforming into several figures dancing with swords before one's eyes.

Han Li closed his eyes, immersing himself completely in this wondrous scene. He saw several figures performing profound sword techniques, each movement containing endless mysteries.

He didn't know how much time had passed when he opened his eyes, a flash of understanding appearing in them.

Han Li stood up, made a hand seal, and streaks of sword light flew out from his hands, transforming into flying swords that circled and danced around him.

He took a deep breath, and with a flash, he soared into the air like a ghost. The flying swords in his hands shot out continuously, producing a sharp whistling sound as they rubbed against the air.

As he moved, the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth became restless, and all converged towards him.

Han Li hovered in mid-air, his aura growing stronger and stronger.

Finally, he let out a long howl, and the flying sword in his hand transformed into a streak of light, shooting towards a stone tower in the distance.

The lapis lazuli stone tower was instantly pierced by the sword energy, leaving a deep sword mark.

Han Li sheathed his sword and stood there, a satisfied smile on his face.

This divine ability is called the Nine Revolutions Wandering Body Sword, and it is the top-level divine ability of the Sword Control Sect. The main function of this divine ability is to rapidly transform the sword energy threads in the body into sword energy during battle. By accumulating sword energy, it can be used with sword control techniques to transform into more flying swords.

After Han Li broke through to the late stage of Qi Refining, the number of flying swords transformed by his Sword Control Technique increased from five to seven. In addition, with the two sword shadows transformed by the Hidden Sword Technique, there were a total of nine flying swords.

By sheer chance, he comprehended the "Nine Revolutions Wandering Body Sword," and in just a moment, he condensed twelve flying swords, the power of which was on a completely different level.

Besides rapidly condensing sword energy, the Nine Revolutions Wandering Body Sword, upon reaching its second level, unlocks a protective divine ability called Body Protective Sword Aura. This ability can return sword energy to its origin, condensing it into a sword shield, possessing extremely strong defensive capabilities that are very difficult for ordinary divine abilities and spells to break through.

Sensing the faint remnants of sword energy around him, Han Li smiled and strode towards the Scripture Pavilion.

Like the alchemy room, the scripture pavilion was also completely empty, and the tattered scrolls scattered on the ground offered no clues whatsoever. After wandering around several times, they still found nothing.

"It seems that these places we frequent have been thoroughly searched. Unless there is some special opportunity, it will be impossible to obtain these inheritances."

Han Li muttered a few words as he walked out of the Scripture Pavilion. He then searched the back mountain of the Scripture Pavilion but found nothing special, so he eventually left.

Before he knew it, Han Li had been at the Imperial Sword Sect ruins for over a month.

Over the past month, he had almost plundered the entire outer area, but apart from the Nine Revolutions Wandering Body Sword and the Sword Heart Bamboo, the rest were just some low-level herbs.

Of course, he had encountered quite a few sword spirits as well. However, these sword spirits were far inferior to the sword spirits of the Five Elements Sword Formation, and he destroyed them with just a slight effort.

In fact, it's not that these sword spirits are weak. On the contrary, the sword spirits here all possess strength comparable to the eighth or ninth level of the late Qi Refining stage, and quite a few Qi Refining cultivators have perished at their hands.

Unfortunately, Han Li's internal mana, supernatural abilities, and physical body were all far superior to those of ordinary late-stage Qi Refining cultivators, so these sword spirits posed no threat to him.

Having acquired a large amount of refining materials, Han Li was standing in front of a waterfall, his gaze fixed on the faintly visible barrier in front of him, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

"This Imperial Sword Sect has been abandoned for over a thousand years, how could there still be restrictions?" Han Li muttered to himself, his eyes flashing with a blue light.

This restriction is nothing special. In Han Li's opinion, it was probably set up by the Imperial Sword Sect to test its disciples. It was not offensive and could be easily destroyed with supernatural powers and techniques.

However, if the attack is insufficient, the restriction will revert to its original state, posing a considerable challenge for Qi Refining cultivators. But for Foundation Establishment and Core Formation cultivators, this restriction is completely unnecessary, and the probability of finding anything valuable there is likely not high.

Otherwise, why would no one have paid any attention to it?

But Han Li still decided to give it a try, and also to test the power of the Nine Revolutions Wandering Body Sword.
