Qin Xi's Three Yang Real Fire Sword was also a natal magic weapon. Although it also used sword moves, it was different from a sword cultivator's sword.
Generally, sword cultivators had already chosen their main sword when they were in the Foundation Building realm or even the Aura Refining realm. After that, they couldn't leave this sword for the rest of their lives. Their natal sword was constantly nourished and refined, and its rank would also constantly improve. As their cultivation level increased, it would become more and more powerful.
This was similar to natal magic weapons, but natal magic weapons could only be refined after they reached the Core Formation realm, while sword cultivators could have their natal swords when they were in the Aura Refining realm. Because of this, sword cultivators were often stronger than ordinary cultivators.
Of course, it wasn't only beneficial.
If a cultivator's natal magic weapon was damaged, it would often affect the cultivator himself. If a sword cultivator's sword was damaged, the result would be more serious than that of an ordinary cultivator. If it was light, they would be seriously injured; if it was heavy, they would die.
Moreover, all the skills of a sword cultivator were on their sword. If they lost their sword, even if they could keep their life, their cultivation level would most likely be crippled.
As for Qin Xi, although he used the Three Yang Real Fire Sword as a magic weapon, he didn't rely on it as much as sword cultivators did. His strongest skill wasn't his sword moves.
His Three Yang Real Fire Sword was extremely powerful, which often made people mistakenly think his sword moves were very powerful. In fact, his real killing move was the Three Yang Real Fire on his sword.
After explaining this to Mo Tiange, the Three Yang Real Fire Sword in his hand burst into a blazing red light and rushed toward the Heaven and Earth Fan.
Mo Tiange unfolded the Heaven and Earth Fan, and the mountains and rivers turned solid, completely surrounding the Three Yang Real Fire Sword. Under the heavy pressure of the mountains and rivers, the sword couldn't break through.
At that moment, the sword suddenly glowed red. Qin Xi made a sword art, and the Three Yang Real Fire Sword came out.
Mo Tiange was very anxious. The mountains and rivers pressed down and firmly pressed the sword, but the Three Yang Real Fire couldn't block it no matter what. She only felt a threatening aura rising to the sky, and her whole body was surrounded.
She circulated her spiritual aura, and the spiritual aura shield of the Art of Primordial Singular Energy lit up, but it couldn't block this heat. It only lasted for a while before the spiritual aura shield was also burned.
The moment the shield was broken, Qin Xi shook his arm and withdrew the Three Yang Real Fire Sword.
Mo Tiange stood for a while, calmed down a bit, and also withdrew the Heaven and Earth Fan.
Although she knew his Three Yang Real Fire Sword was very powerful, she didn't know it was this powerful.
His technique was very simple and could hardly be considered a technique. However, it was precisely because there was no technique that it was not easy to break through.
This was because this was a battle of real strength. If one couldn't win against Chu Yang's Three Yang Real Fire, then they could only be defeated. However, Chu Yang's body was filled with pure Yang spiritual energy. After cultivating the Three Yang Real Fire, its destructive power was even greater than that of the Sun Real Fire.
"You don't have to be depressed."
Seeing that she hadn't spoken for a long time, Qin Xi smiled and said, "Not to mention the fact that my Three Yang Real Fire Sword has been nourished for more than a hundred years, but based on the gap between our cultivation levels, wouldn't I be too inferior if I couldn't even defeat a cultivator who'd just formed her Gold Core?"
Mo Tiange regained her senses.
It wasn't that she had to compete with Qin Xi; it was just that she was shocked after suddenly witnessing his strength. This also made her realize that she was still very far from the limits of what a Core Formation cultivator could achieve.
Thinking of this, she smiled, held the Heaven and Earth Fan and asked, "What do you think after trying it?"
Qin Xi thought for a moment then said, "It seems your Heaven and Earth Fan has a strong restraining effect on magic weapons. If you encounter sword cultivators in the future, I don't think you'll be at a disadvantage.
But when it comes to magic arts, it hasn't used the word 'trap' yet. "
Mo Tiange also knew that the Heaven and Earth Fan was originally a kind of magic weapon conceived by Mo Yaoqing, but it lacked actual examples. She still needed to figure out how to use it by herself. The word 'trap' alone could be used for both offense and defense, so it wasn't something she could figure out in a short time.
"Okay, let's try the effect of the attack again." Qin Xi waved his sleeve, and the Three Yang Real Fire Sword turned into several sword lights that circled around him.
Mo Tiange nodded then opened the Heaven and Earth Fan again. This time, it was completely different from before. Smoke and water rushed out, and the mountains and rivers seemed to come alive in an instant. Even the flowers and birds inside appeared real.
Qin Xi was stunned for a moment. Just like that, the world suddenly changed. He looked around and found that the scenery around him was exactly the same as the mountains and rivers on the Heaven and Earth Fan, as if he himself had entered the painting.
Although he had long known this was the Illusory Formation on the Heaven and Earth Fan, what he saw and heard in front of him was exactly the same as the real one, so he was still a little shocked.
It was really unexpected for a magic weapon that had just been refined to have this kind of power.
Thinking up to this point, he frowned and looked around carefully, looking for flaws.
Mo Tiange, who was outside the Illusory Formation, saw Qin Xi turn around for a while inside the Illusory Formation. He seemed to have found something and showed a smile. Then he used the sword formation, and the red light shone brightly. A kind of invincible power spread out.
She hurriedly operated her spiritual aura, trying to suppress Qin Xi's counterattack, but the gap between their cultivation levels was obvious. Qin Xi's Three Yang Real Fire still slowly spread out and finally engulfed the mountains and rivers.
This time, she failed even more miserably than the last time. Last time, Qin Xi could see it, so he could take back the Three Yang Real Fire in time. This time, when he broke the formation, he couldn't see it clearly. The Three Yang Real Fire burned, so Mo Tiange had to give up her defense and escape the range of the Three Yang Real Fire in a sorry state.
When the mountains and rivers dispersed, Qin Xi took back the Three Yang Real Fire Sword. Seeing Mo Tiange standing there thoughtfully, he asked with a smile, "What's wrong? Are you shocked?"
Mo Tiange looked away and said in a daze, "Magic weapons alone aren't enough …"
Qin Xi smiled. The Three Yang Real Fire disappeared and returned to his dantian. He walked closer and said, "Of course, magic weapons alone aren't enough. We're not sword cultivators; we only need to cultivate our swords. We cultivate ourselves. If our cultivation levels aren't strong, our strength will be weak, and our magic weapons naturally won't be so powerful."
"En."
Mo Tiange cheered up, unfolded the Heaven and Earth Fan, and said with a smile, "In any case, this kind of magic weapon is already very strong. If I cultivate well, I'll only become stronger and stronger in the future."
"It's good that you understand."
In terms of cultivation, Mo Tiange's ideas were very similar to his, so they got along very well. Even if there were some differences, they could slowly get used to each other.
In the past five years, the two of them lived here in seclusion. Sometimes, when he thought about it carefully, he felt that these days were as perfect as a dream.
They didn't have fierce personalities. When they were together, they were as calm as water. They were like companions, like teachers and friends, and they occasionally had tender feelings. He thought that was enough.
Of course, it wasn't like they didn't have friction.
Mo Tiange was strong and unwilling to rely on others. In this relationship, he often unconsciously acted strong. Occasionally, there would be quarrels, but later, they would compromise with each other and accept each other's ideas and practices.
Sometimes, he thought that this was the perfect Dual Cultivation life he envisioned, right?
On the long road to longevity, if there was no one to accompany him, he would always feel lonely in retrospect. But if he was entangled in love, it wasn't what he wanted.
Now, he had someone to accompany him and he could focus on cultivation. It was really the best.
"What are you looking at?" Mo Tiange couldn't help but ask, feeling creeped out by his warm eyes.
Qin Xi smiled and suddenly reached out to hold her waist, hugging her tightly. "Let's … make a blood oath?"
Mo Tiange was stunned. "Huh?"
She knew what a blood oath was. It was a kind of oath that most Dao companions made, similar to a spiritual beast contract. The two people who made a blood oath could never hurt each other.
But the difference between a blood oath and a spiritual beast contract was that after a blood oath was made, there would be a sense between the two people. The other person would know clearly whether the other person was good or bad, dead or alive.
Qin Xi said slowly, "I know … you definitely won't be willing to follow me all the time. So, when we occasionally separate, with a blood oath between us, I can also know whether you're good or bad …"
"…" Mo Tiange was speechless for a while. She knew this was his compromise, tacitly agreeing to her freedom.
Since he couldn't get an answer from her, Qin Xi called again, "Tiange?"
Mo Tiange looked up and smiled brightly. "Okay."
Establishing a blood oath was equivalent to a dual cultivation ceremony. It was even more important than a dual cultivation ceremony. Many dual cultivation partners did not establish a blood oath because most immortal cultivators were suspicious and did not dare to easily make such an oath that they could not get rid of in their entire lives.
Therefore, with Mo Tiange's consent, Qin Xi was overjoyed. He thought for a moment and said, "But we can't be too hasty. How about we wait until we go back and report to master?"
This conclusion was quickly rejected by him. "No, we don't know when we can go out …"
Mo Tiange found it funny to see him struggling alone. "Do we need to do this?"
"Of course, making a blood oath should be more cautious than a Dual Cultivation ceremony," Qin Xi said seriously.
"But I think it's fine as long as the two of us are sincere …"
"You're right, but …" He looked ashamed. "This is too unfair for you."
"Unfair for what?
Dual Cultivation isn't something you can do alone. "
Mo Tiange held his fingers and said seriously, "We're not mortals, so why should we rigidly adhere to mortals' rules?"
Qin Xi was stunned, but he didn't say anything.
Although he went to Mount Taikang since he was a child, he grew up in a prince's mansion in the secular world, so some of his ideas inevitably carried traces of the secular world.
For example, he was unconsciously strong in their relationship.
On the contrary, although Mo Tiange stayed in the secular world for a longer time, she was originally an ordinary village girl and didn't have much experience. Many things she heard only after she arrived in Kunwu, so her ideas were more similar to those of cultivators.
After pondering for a while, Qin Xi somewhat understood. He thought for a while and finally said, "Then, let's hold our own wedding?"
"Huh?" Wedding?
Qin Xi smiled and looked at her gently. "You're right. It's fine as long as the two of us are sincere.
But I always feel that a Dual Cultivation ceremony sounds a bit too cold, as if it's just for cultivation … That being the case, let's hold a wedding for the two of us, okay? "
How could Mo Tiange say no?
He was even more willing to give than she wanted.
She remembered that when she was a child in Mo Family's Village, her aunt always wanted Tianqiao to learn cooking and housekeeping so she could marry into a good family.
She also vaguely thought about getting married, but at that time, she had already set foot on the path to immortality and learned about the existence of the cultivation world from books. She thought that when she went to the cultivation world in the future, she only needed to find a like-minded person.
Later, when she arrived in Kunwu, she followed Second Uncle to many, many places to avoid the fate of becoming a Human Furnace … She only wanted to become stronger and didn't even dare to reveal her identity as a woman, so how could she think about Dual Cultivation?
Later, when she met him, although she secretly had feelings for him, she told herself in her heart that she didn't need to think too much about hopeless things and just focused on cultivation.
Everything she obtained today was something she originally thought she would never be able to obtain in her lifetime.
"Alright, I'll listen to you."
