"This sword is only at the Advanced Earth Level." Lingxi smacked her lips after looking at it for a while.
"Of course, there are good and bad swords at the Advanced Earth Level. The Hell King's Blade that you obtained previously was a pretty good sword. It's a pity that it was destroyed by Lin Zichen's Emperor Sword. This sword is about the same level as the Hell King's Blade. I don't think the entire Sky Demon Palace has more than ten of such magical weapons," Lingxi said.
"It's not bad if it's about the same level as the Hell King's Blade. This sword is actually shining with faint starlight. Let's call it the Star Sword for now."
Long Chen nodded and wiped the blade with his hand. Although a lot of time had passed, he could tell that the Star Sword was still sharp and had not dulled due to the passage of time.
"Why would this sword appear in the territory of the Divine Flame Beasts?" Lingxi asked, puzzled.
"I reckon that the disciples of the Sky Demon Palace must have found their way to the lair of the Divine Flame Beasts. However, they didn't have the Soul-Devouring Demonic Eyes, so they couldn't grasp the number and location of the Divine Flame Beasts like me. They also couldn't take them down one by one, so they were easily surrounded and killed. I reckon that this sword was left behind at that time. This sword probably never thought that it would see the light of day again …" Long Chen said with some emotion.
He then looked at the tiny Lingxi and said with a smile, "Little Xi, you know my current situation very well. I'm trying my best to get the Demon Emperor Sword and the Demon Emperor Sword Principle in the Demon Emperor Sword. But before that, the Intermediate Earth Level Blue Dragon Halberd and Blue Dragon Battle Technique are really too lousy. It just so happens that I have this Star Sword. Do you have any suitable sword techniques that you can teach me?"
Lingxi was a little vexed as she said, "In my memory, you'll have to at least reach the Reaching Heaven State before you can learn the sword techniques that you can practice. The Demonic Spirit Sword Finger from before was something I learned when I was playing around with it when I was young. Let me think about it carefully …"
Lingxi's words rendered Long Chen rather speechless. The Demonic Spirit Sword Finger had once been one of Long Chen's killer moves, but it was merely a battle technique that Lingxi had played around with when she was young. What she could allow Long Chen to practice was that Long Chen had to at least reach the Reaching Heaven State before he could practice it …
"Just how big is Little Xi's background …" Thinking of this, Long Chen felt a little helpless.
At this time, Xiao Lang began to devour the Fire Refinement Essence. This time, there were a lot of Fire Refinement Essence and God Refining Crystals, so it would probably take a while. During this period of time, Lingxi was thinking hard about the sword technique, and Long Chen was happy to be free for a while.
Finally, Lingxi said excitedly, "I actually thought of a small sword technique, it's a high level Earth Stage, but I've forgotten a lot of this sword technique's incantation. Give me two hours, I'll try to deduce it."
After saying that, Lingxi continued to think hard. It was rare for her to be serious, so her appearance was quite moving.
"Deduction."
Long Chen was a little speechless. Lingxi was basically creating a sword skill for Long Chen to use. This required a lot of knowledge and family background to be able to do such a thing. In any case, Long Chen himself knew that if it was him at his current realm, he would definitely not be able to deduce any sword skills.
"This sword skill is called the Afterimage Sword, and it was also something I practiced for fun when I was young. At that time, I felt that there was always a shadow on the sword, and it was very beautiful, so I learned it myself and played with it every day. However, when I grew up, I lost interest …"
Lingxi tilted his head and thought, while stimulating Long Chen's nerves.
"What a pervert."
Long Chen cursed in his heart. He had never asked how big Lingxi's family was, because he was afraid that if he knew, the huge pressure in his heart would stop him from moving forward.
"Ah, it's finally done."
In less than an hour, Ling Xi leapt up in high spirits. She said excitedly, "I don't remember the original chant. I've changed it a little, but I can be sure that the current Afterimage Sword is the strongest below Heaven Tier Battle Skills. Before you obtain the Demon Emperor Sword, you can use it without worry." "That's right. That's right."
"Eh." Long Chen didn't know what to say.
"Hey, I've worked so hard, you don't need to praise me."
Lingxi's face immediately darkened. She had done so much and racked her brains for nothing more than for Long Chen to praise her. Every time she thought about it, Long Chen would be stunned.
"Little Xi, you're really too amazing. You're too good to me. You're like a second parent to me." Long Chen hurriedly said with some exaggeration.
"Pfft, you're the second parent to me. I'm not that old. Alright, I won't talk to you anymore. Time is of the essence, so take your time. If there's anything you don't understand, just tell me."
Lingxi rolled her eyes at him and left behind the chant for the Afterimage Sword before returning to Lingxi's sword.
"This girl …" Long Chen smiled helplessly. But Lingxi was right, time was of the essence. It was only five days, and Xiao Lang was at a crucial point in his cultivation. Long Chen calmed his heart and began to study the Afterimage Sword that Lingxi had modified.
He had already practiced the Heaven Tier Battle Skill, Traceless Specter, so it was much easier for him to practice this high level Earth Tier Battle Skill. Moreover, because of Lingxi's modifications, many areas that were difficult to understand became very easy to understand, so this Afterimage Sword didn't take Long Chen too much time.
Long Chen already had enough Fire Refinement Essence in his hands, so he didn't need to search anymore. After Little Wolf swallowed the Fire Refinement Essence and the God Refining Crystal, it recuperated for a day and stabilized its current strength. With the accumulation of so many Fire Refinement Essence and God Refining Crystal, Little Wolf successfully advanced from the seventh stage of the Earth Stage to the eighth stage of the Earth Stage.
In this trial of the Fire Flow, the unremarkable Xiao Lang became the biggest winner. The Sun Devouring Demonic Wolf at the eighth level of the Earth Tier was already able to fight against Yang Danfeng and the others at the eighth level of the Heavenly River Tier, and could even surpass them. Xiao Lang was Long Chen's life and death brother. Basically, Xiao Lang's strength was already equivalent to Long Chen's strength.
So from then on, Long Chen's strength increased once again.
At the same time, while Xiao Lang was recuperating, Long Chen also successfully completed the practice of the Afterimage Sword. Of course, Lingxi helped a lot.
"Chen, when you reach the Heaven Completion Realm, I can give you an even stronger sword skill, even stronger than the Demon Emperor Sword Dao. I can't wait." After Long Chen finished practicing the Afterimage Sword, Lingxi said sneakily in Long Chen's ear.
"Really?" Long Chen's face was full of surprise.
"Little Xi, I really love you so much. I swear I will marry you in this life. Otherwise, wouldn't I be giving it to someone else for nothing?" Long Chen said with a proud smile.
"Could it be that you want to be with me because of my sword skill?" Lingxi said with some grievance, her big eyes blinking.
"Who said that? There's no such thing, haha …" Long Chen said happily.
The Heaven Completion Realm was still a little far away, but Long Chen was still full of expectations. The combat skill that Lingxi officially gave him for the first time would definitely not be ordinary. Although it might not be much to Lingxi, for Long Chen, it might be something that would benefit him for a lifetime.
After all, there was still one day left of the five days. Long Chen was ready to leave this place. Now, there was no need for him to look for the Fire Essence anymore. He just needed to find the passage that he had come from and get ready to go back the next day. He didn't believe that he would lose to anyone with the Fire Essence, which was equivalent to 2,000 Fire Essence.
After all, not everyone was lucky enough to find the nest of the Divine Flame Beast, and not everyone had the ability to clean out the nest of the Divine Flame Beast in one go.
This time, he had gained a lot from the Earth Vein of Fire. Long Chen was getting closer to his goal step by step.
When he finally left the black magma, Long Chen ran into Yang Jun and the other seven people again after rushing for a while. Last time, Long Chen couldn't be bothered with them, so he walked past them. This time, Long Chen had plenty of time.
Long Chen's Soul-Devouring Demon Eyes found them from a distance of 500 meters. Of course, they didn't see Long Chen. They talked together and came in the direction of Long Chen.
Long Chen was hiding at the side. He wanted to see how much Fire Refinement Essence these eight people could get together.
"How unlucky! We have been looking for it for two days. Why haven't we found the place marked on the map? Senior Brother Yang Jun, is this map fake?" one of the disciples said gloomily.
"What do you mean fake? This map was personally given to me by my master. He said that there were only three copies. Senior Brother Yang Danfeng and Senior Sister Murong probably found the Ice Soul Origin Spirit long ago. It's just you eight pieces of trash. You've been circling around this area for two days without finding anything," Yang Jun cursed.
Yang Jun was the first disciple of the Third Demon Elder. His status was higher than everyone else's. Although they were dissatisfied with his anger, they didn't want to show it.
Actually, Yang Jun was the useless one. He was the one who looked at the map for the past two days. He was also the one who gave instructions. The reason they couldn't find the destination was mostly because of him.
"I can't be bothered to scold you. We still have one day. We still have a chance to find the Ice Soul Original Spirit. Keep looking." Yang Jun scolded angrily.
After walking for a while, one of the disciples said worriedly, "Senior Brother, in the past two days, the eight of us have only managed to find a little over two hundred Flame Essences. What do you think you will do if Long Chen obtains more than three hundred Flame Essences?"
"How is that possible?"
Yang Jun smiled indifferently and said, "It's Long Chen's first time coming to the Fire Emanation Earth Vein. It's inevitable that he'll be a little rusty. You guys can find about 15 Fire Essence in a day. He'll be lucky if he can find 10. Even if he can find 20, he'll only get 100 in five days. Don't worry about this good-for-nothing. We should pay more attention to the Ice Soul Original Spirit. Master said that it's something that can make one's cultivation advance by leaps and bounds."
"Yes."
