Chapter 746: Chapter 43: I Can’t Live Without Her_3
Only in this way does the Dragon Sparrow acquire practical value, and only then can he wield it with ease.
Otherwise, it’s common knowledge that as a Taoist Artifact, an instrunt of the great Dao, its power is said to be boundless.
At that ti, he only had Foundation Establishnt Cultivation; even if he exhausted all his Spiritual Power, even if he had emptied himself of life, it seed impossible for him to unleash even a single strike from the Dragon Sparrow.
This is like placing a ten-thousand-pound hamr before you—everyone knows that swinging it would unleash formidable might, but to a three-year-old child, that hamr has only ornantal value and cannot serve as a weapon.
Because the child lacks the strength to swing the hamr.
However, a long ti ago, when he asked Qin Yitian about the origin of the Dragon Sparrow, her answer was that many mories and secrets were sealed away by her.
With the improvent of his Cultivation, these seals would gradually be lifted.
Lu Qingshan had naturally assud that the Dragon Sparrow’s Divine Power was also sealed by her.
A reasonable assumption.
Who would have thought that the Divine Power of the Dragon Sparrow wasn’t sealed, but stripped away…
Who had stripped it, and where was that portion of the Divine Power now?
“The term ‘sealed’ isn’t entirely incorrect,” Xia Daoyun pursed her lips but affird Lu Qingshan’s statent, “Part of its Divine Power is indeed sealed. This portion of Divine Power will be gradually released as your Cultivation increases.”
Lu Qingshan seed to understand.
The portion of Divine Power that his ntor referred to should be the source of the Dragon Sparrow’s ability to perform Divine Skills, the very reason Qin Yitian existed, and the reason the Dragon Sparrow would grow stronger as his Cultivation advanced.
“As for why there’s an odd blending situation occurring…”
“The Demon Soldiers, nurtured by the War Demon, all contain the exceedingly tyrannical Indestructible Demon Qi—you should have heard of it, yes?” Xia Daoyun asked in return.
A glint flashed in Lu Qingshan’s eyes.
This, he understood all too well.
When he first entered Yun Pass, the man with the scarred face who guided the newcors to understand Yun Pass had a face scarred by a slash from a War Demon, a wound that never faded.
The overbearing nature of the War Demon’s Indestructible Demon Qi could be imagined.
Xia Daoyun continued: “This is due to their Refining Furnace Divine Ability.
According to our Human Race’s docunts, inside the ‘Refining Furnace’ of the War Demon’s body, due to their bloodline, a constant stream of special Indestructible Demon Qi is produced, which continuously tempers their Demon Soldiers, giving them Indestructible Demon Qi.”
“Their ability to refine and dissolve other Magic Artifacts also cos from using this Indestructible Demon Qi to lt down the artifacts, extracting their essence, and integrating it into the Demon Soldiers.”
“Your Life-bound Sword, as a Taoist Artifact, once a Sixth Grade War Demon swallowed it, a very long period would be needed to refine it.
It stands to reason that shortly after being swallowed by the War Demon and then retrieved, as a Taoist Artifact, it should have been unscathed.”
“However, an unexpected event occurred.”
“Because a portion of your Life-bound Sword’s Divine Power was stripped away, the internal compartnt that originally stored Divine Power was emptied.”
Xia Daoyun said with a hint of resignation: “These streams of Demonic Qi took the opportunity to usurp the nest of the dove, occupying the space in the Dragon Sparrow where the stripped Divine Power was stored.
And your Life-bound Sword, as its Divine Power was sealed, did not possess the ability to resist the intrusion of this Demonic Qi.”
“Subsequently, this Demonic Qi beca a part of the sword, inseparable from it.
However, since it didn’t share the sa source as the remaining part of your Life-bound Sword’s Divine Power, they were unable to coexist harmoniously.
In the end, both parties naturally engaged in an innate struggle within the Dragon Sparrow, vying for control of the sword, causing your Sword Spirit to fall into an unawakened sleep.”
“Which force ultimately prevails in this contest will be able to devour the other’s power and will, becoming the Sword Spirit of this sword.”
Lu Qingshan’s expression changed dramatically.
Xia Daoyun added, “If you’re lucky, your Sword Spirit could soon triumph and awaken.
But the problem is that even if she wins, after devouring the power and will of the Demonic Qi, the one who awakens will no longer be the sa as before.
And if unlucky, she will dissipate completely, both form and spirit will be extinguished…”
“The only good news is that no matter what, your Life-bound Sword will ultimately recover, and you can continue on your path of Cultivation—just waiting to see when they can determine a victor…”
“Qingshan, what are your thoughts?” asked Xia Daoyun, her voice growing heavier.
Her emotions were wavering with concern.
As a Sword Cultivator herself, she understood all too well the bond a Sword Cultivator has with their Life-bound Sword, and she knew how devastating this outco would be for Lu Qingshan.
“Is there really no way to drive out this Demonic Qi without harming her?” Lu Qingshan still refused to give up, clinging to a last thread of hope.
“With my knowledge, I am unaware of any such thod in the world,” Xia Daoyun fell into deep thought and after pondering seriously for a long ti, added, “However, you might want to inquire at Heavenly Secret Pavilion.
Their thods are profound, maybe they really have a Subtle Technique unknown to that could solve this problem.”
Lu Qingshan stayed silent for a mont, then respectfully bowed to Xia Daoyun and said, “ntor, I shall take my leave now.”
