"Really?" Li Chengfeng's heart was pounding.
If the Heaven Splitter Sword could be repaired, then Li Chengfeng's ability to protect himself would be greatly improved!
Although Li Chengfeng would still face the risk of getting into trouble because of his treasures, it was better than being beaten up by all the masters without the ability to protect himself!
Of the two evils, he had to choose the lesser of two evils!
But Li Chengfeng's happiness did not last long. Zhao Feiyue continued, "But …"
Li Chengfeng's heart sank. Zhao Feiyue continued, "... Nu Nu doesn't have suitable spirit crystals or a top-grade beast soul. I'm afraid the Heaven Splitter Sword can't be restored to its peak state."
Li Chengfeng was taken aback. "Can't I use normal spirit crystals?"
Zhao Feiyue laughed. "Spirit crystals determine the magical power of the sword. If you don't use top-grade spirit crystals, the Heaven Splitter Sword won't be able to unleash its full power. It will become a burden to you."
Li Chengfeng was confused. "What do you mean?
Even if the Heaven Splitter Sword can only unleash eighty percent of its power, it's still a top-grade magical weapon, isn't it? "
Zhao Feiyue shook her head. "No, that's not it."
As she spoke, Zhao Feiyue walked to the side and pulled the handle. The conveyor belt in the stone room began to move again. Pieces of low-purity spirit jade ingots were transported out and thrown into the blast furnace. Zhao Feiyue brought Li Chengfeng to another stone room that was deeper in the stone room.
"A top-grade magical weapon must be paired with a top-grade spirit crystal. That's the only way you can know the limit of the magical weapon.
This is especially true for a godly sword like the Heaven Splitting Sword. The amount of magical energy it needs to unleash might be enough to instantly shatter an ordinary spirit crystal. If the amount of magical energy the godly sword needs to unleash exceeds the capacity of the spirit crystal, the spirit crystal will explode and the magical energy will instantly backfire! "
Zhao Feiyue explained as they walked.
Li Chengfeng finally understood. The reasoning was easy to understand.
This was because the magical power released by the divine weapon did not only come from the magical power stored in the spirit crystal, but also from the cultivator's own magical power. If one wanted to strike with all their strength, the cultivator's magical power would be instantly released through the Heaven Splitter Sword. That was the cultivator's own magical power and the magical power stored in the spirit crystal. If the spirit crystal was not strong enough, then it would be instantly destroyed by the combined magical power. Not only would it not be able to attack the enemy, but it would also cause harm to the cultivator.
Li Chengfeng smiled bitterly. "I used to have a top-grade spirit crystal but it was used to make the Setting Sun Spear.
Do you know where I can buy such a top-grade spirit crystal? "
Zhao Feiyue shook her head and said with a bitter smile, "This can't be bought at all. No cultivator or cultivation sect will sell this.
Not to mention top-grade Spiritual Crystals, even high-grade Spiritual Crystals could not be seen in the market. Once these things were dug up, they would be immediately divided up. They would never appear in the market.
Chengfeng. Chengfeng of Divine.
Disappointed, he asked, "Then what do we do?"
Feiyue Feiyue said, "Let's help Palace Master repair the Heaven Splitter Sword first. When we find a top-grade spirit crystal, we can install it. That way, the Heaven Splitter Sword can at least unleash its full power. However, if the Heaven Splitter Sword is to be able to fight on its own like the Sky River Divine Sword, it needs a top-grade beast soul."
Li Chengfeng sighed. "We'll take it one step at a time."
The two of them passed through a long tunnel. Li Chengfeng felt the vibrations from the mechanisms below. Soon, they arrived at the swordsmithing room next door. Li Chengfeng saw that the swordsmithing room was divided into four parts. One was the forging table, one was the smelting furnace, one was the cooling pond, and the last was the array drawing table.
Li Chengfeng had seen the forging table, smelting furnace, and cooling pond, but this was his first time seeing the array drawing table.
At first glance, the array drawing table looked like an operation table. In the middle was a mechanical clamp, and on both sides were slender mechanical arms. At the top of the arms were various precise mechanical tools. Li Chengfeng took a closer look and saw that there were tiny array drawings, such as a spiral awl, a small file, a powder-removing stone, and so on. The blacksmiths only needed to reach out and touch the tools to use them.
Feiyue Feiyue said to Li Chengfeng, "Palace Master, you can rest in the library next door. Nu Nu will help you repair the Heaven Splitter Sword."
Li Chengfeng asked, "How long will it take?"
Feiyue Feiyue thought for a moment. "Three days if I'm fast, ten if I'm slow."
Li Chengfeng smiled bitterly. "So we're just going to stay here forever?"
Feiyue Feiyue shook her head. "That won't be necessary. If you're bored, you can go back the way you came. When you go out, the mechanism is on the third brick on the right side of the stone door. There's a button in the middle, and when you press it, a knob will appear on the wall on the right. Turn it clockwise for three-and-a-half minutes, counter-clockwise for a quarter of an hour, then clockwise for a full turn, and the door will open."
Li Chengfeng made a mental note of this. He watched as Feiyue walked to the forging table and activated the mechanism to place the Heaven Splitter Sword on the fixing table. Then, she walked to the smelting furnace and focused on smelting the spirit jade ingot.
Li Chengfeng only watched for the time it takes to burn a stick of incense before he could no longer stand it. The entire stone room was filled with the pungent smell of sulphur. At the same time, Feiyue Feiyue stared at the furnace as if she was meditating.
After a while, Li Chengfeng walked to the stone room next door. When he pushed the door open, he saw that it was an exquisitely decorated room. There were layers upon layers of bookshelves around the room, and on top of them were various precious ancient books.
However, Li Chengfeng did not pay much attention to it. His attention was immediately drawn to a painting hanging on the wall.
The painting depicted an awe-inspiring man dressed in golden armour and a golden helmet. Li Chengfeng recognised him at first glance. This was the man Zhao Feiyue mentioned … his reincarnation, Yu Chengfeng!
Li Chengfeng curiously walked up to the painting and studied it carefully. This was the first time he was looking at his past life up close.
Yu Chengfeng looked exactly like Li Chengfeng, but Li Chengfeng noticed that there were some differences between him and Yu Chengfeng in the painting.
That was Yu Chengfeng's golden armor and helmet. Li Chengfeng had never seen such a style before. At the same time, the corners of Yu Chengfeng's eyes seemed a little different from his own, as if the man in the painting had a gentler gaze.
Li Chengfeng stared at the pair of eyes. The more he looked, the more entranced he became. Suddenly, he realized that the eyes were staring at him!
This shock was no small matter!
Li Chengfeng was so scared that he took a step back. However, after he took a step back, he suddenly realized that he was no longer in the stone room filled with ancient books. Instead, he was in an empty, dark field. It was so dark that he could not even see his own fingers in front of him. There was only a ray of light shining down from above, shining in front of Li Chengfeng.
Li Chengfeng followed the light and saw that in front of him were the ten stone pillars that Li Chengfeng had been dreaming about for a long time!
Li Chengfeng was overjoyed. He knew that his breakthrough technique was right in front of him. The last time he was about to break through, he failed at the last moment. He was burning with impatience to break through, but he did not know how to enter this dreamland to cultivate the technique.
