Chapter 836 - 825: Sword Pill

It turns out that the Sacrificial Refining Technique for this Sword Pill was something the Heavenly Mountain Granny only figured out after a long period of solitary exploration.

And the reason she could understand the roots of the Sacrificial Refining Technique was because she once captured an expert who came from the Valley of Eternal Spring, obtaining a golden armored fragment from him.

This fragment detailed part of the techniques for refining a flying sword.

Relying on this portion of techniques.

The Heavenly Mountain Granny successfully cultivated the Red Sword.

Yet it was obvious.

She was not satisfied with this and wished to obtain the Supreme Sword Pill. Now that Ding Ling had acquired the Supreme Sword Pill, she couldn’t request it, and instead voluntarily shared the Sacrificial Refining Technique and offered the golden armored fragment.

Ding Ling took the fragment into his hand in mid-air and glanced at it.

[Celestial Escape Swordsmanship (Fragment) Full Level]

In an instant.

Ding Ling immediately comprehended the Divine Skill inscribed on the fragment.

An aura of sharp and ethereal Sword Qi surged onto his body instantaneously! This Sword Qi seemed to allow Ding Ling to instantaneously escape into the skies, eradicating all monsters and demons!

In a fleeting moment, Duan Zhengchun, the Heavenly Mountain Granny, and others seemed to witness the Sword God descend upon the mortal world.

"What is this?!"

Their hearts and spirits trembled significantly, quite perplexed.

They couldn’t understand if Ding Ling had possessed this extraordinary Sword Qi all along.

Or if it was only after viewing the fragment that he gained it? If this Sword Qi was obtained by looking at the fragment, why had the Heavenly Mountain Granny, who held the fragment for no less than half a year, been unable to cultivate such profound Sword Qi?!

Duan Zhengchun, Duan Zhengming, Qin Hongmian, Plum, Orchid, Bamboo, and Chrysanthemum all gazed at Ding Ling as if seeing a deity.

The Heavenly Mountain Granny, realizing this, had her heart trembling. She admired Ding Ling utterly, and was the first to congratulate him:

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, on successfully comprehending the Celestial Escape Swordsmanship!"

"It seems you know the name of this sword technique."

Ding Ling flicked the fragment with his finger, and it floated back into the hands of the Heavenly Mountain Granny like a leaf:

"Thank you for your fragment."

"I would like to ask Your Majesty to instruct me on the Celestial Escape Swordsmanship."

The Heavenly Mountain Granny blushed slightly:

"This old lady has been comprehending the Celestial Escape Swordsmanship for six or seven months, only grasping the basics. It’s challenging to fathom its esoteric truth. Could Your Majesty resolve a few of this old lady’s confusions?"

"Feel free to speak."

Ding Ling smiled slightly, displaying great generosity.

The Heavenly Mountain Granny paused, then was overjoyed. She hadn’t expected Ding Ling to be so agreeable.

She immediately divulged her doubts and perplexities.

With the Celestial Escape Swordsmanship (Fragment) at full level, Ding Ling naturally and casually answered her questions effortlessly.

The more the Heavenly Mountain Granny inquired.

The faster her aura transformed.

Eventually.

It seemed she had unlocked some sort of mystical meridian in her body, letting out a long howl, boom! A world-shaking aura of red Sword Qi burst forth from her body!

This Sword Qi complemented the Red Sword.

The combination of both.

Was enough to elevate the Heavenly Mountain Granny into the ranks of absolute experts.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After calming her aura, the Heavenly Mountain Granny half-knelt on the ground, respectfully saying:

"Without Your Majesty’s help in resolving my confusions, this old lady would have had absolutely no chance of comprehending its enigmas thoroughly in this lifetime. Naturally, I would have struggled on the grand path. Your Majesty aided this old lady in embarking on the broad path of the sword, and I have nothing to repay you with, so I am willing to follow Your Majesty. I hope Your Majesty agrees."

She gave Plum, Orchid, Bamboo, and Chrysanthemum a look.

Plum, Orchid, Bamboo, and Chrysanthemum, along with the members of Lingjiu Palace, immediately knelt to the ground:

"We hope Your Majesty fulfills our wish!"

Their delicate and clear voices echoed throughout the Ten Directions Realm.

Ding Ling glanced at the group of the Heavenly Mountain Granny, fully understanding their intentions and plans. He did not disclose it openly, merely nodding as a gesture of agreement.

The Heavenly Mountain Granny was overjoyed, immediately expressing her gratitude once more.

Ding Ling waved his hand, indicating that they need not bow further.

Then he slightly bowed his head, holding the golden Sword Pill in his hand, and applied the Sacrificial Refining Techniques from the Celestial Escape Swordsmanship. In no time, he had successfully refined it, clang!

The Sword Pill instantly transformed into a Divine Sword without a hilt.

The Divine Sword was entirely golden, five feet long, exceptionally sharp, as if it could pierce through vajra and mountains. Compared to the Red Sword, this Golden Sword was noticeably more solid, sharp, and unrivaled.

Ding Ling flicked his finger, and the ringing sound reverberated across the ten directions. Just by hearing the sound, one could tell this Divine Sword far exceeded ordinary Divine Weapon and Magical Treasures!

It was by no means comparable to mundane weapons like the Heaven-Swaying Sword.

Even the Celestial Destiny Saber from the Wind and Cloud World couldn’t compare!

This sword was already like an immortal with spirit!

Absolutely an unparalleled Spirit Sword!

Inside the Golden Sword, Ding Ling sensed a lively Sword Qi wandering, this Sword Qi was extremely sentient, and when sensing Ding Ling’s Sword Thought probing, it actually conveyed thoughts of affection and trust to Ding Ling.

Ding Ling sensed it very clearly, his heart and spirit leapt, pondering:

"This Divine Sword is truly extraordinary. It harbors spirit within, and this spirit is naturally generated, with limitless potential! Unlike the Dragon Spirit in my Human Emperor Saber, which was infused into it. There’s a fundamental difference between Innate Sword Spirit and Acquired Sword Spirit, and their potential is naturally completely different."

The Human Emperor Saber, although extremely powerful!

Rightly called an unparalleled Divine Saber, with few comparable weapons in the world.

Even in terms of material, this Sword Pill is completely unmatched.

But in terms of potential in spirituality, the Human Emperor Saber cannot surpass this Golden Sword!

"Moreover, this Golden Sword’s Sword Pill reminds me of the Green Pearl I obtained back in the day!"

As they say, the Green Pearl.

Was a poison pearl from which the Scarlet Venom Toad, such Divine Object, was nurtured.

When Ding Ling first got the Green Pearl, he even gave it to the Lightning Mink, which evolved thanks to it, seeming to dilute the poisonous miasma within the Green Pearl significantly.

Earlier, Ding Ling was confused about what the Green Pearl was; he merely carried it around.

Now it seems.

This Green Pearl might also be a Sword Pill, different from the Red Sword’s fire attribute.

The Golden Sword’s metal attribute.

This Green Pearl might possess a poison attribute!

"And the Green Pearl came from the vicinity of the Valley of Eternal Spring. Thus, it seems likely that the Green Pearl also flew out from the Valley of Eternal Spring, fortuitously acquired and used by the Scarlet Venom Toad!"

Ding Ling felt relieved.

Yet, he puzzled over the mysterious Valley of Eternal Spring, wondering how someone like Chen Jinnan could have set foot in it?

Unless they ascended from the start and were placed in the Valley of Eternal Spring, then upon finding opportunities, were sent out by the Sword Pill?

What the truth is.

Ding Ling couldn’t ascertain either.

He inquired with Duan Zhengchun, the Heavenly Mountain Granny, and others.

They were equally baffled and only half-understood.

The Heavenly Mountain Granny knew more, as her Red Sword was indeed stolen.

Ding Ling urged her to explain in detail.

The Heavenly Mountain Granny looked around and saw many people around. Ding Ling waved his hand, taking her and the Lingjiu Palace members including Plum, Orchid, Bamboo, and Chrysanthemum, flying out of Mount Heng Territory.

Duan Zhengchun, Duan Zhengming, Zhu Danchen, and others were a bit taken aback, wanting to follow, but how could they catch up to the high-flying Ding Ling? They could only watch as Ding Ling and the Heavenly Mountain Granny’s group flew farther and farther away.

"Such strength."

Duan Zhengchun sighed:

"My son-in-law is becoming more and more mighty, carrying a group of people, yet still flying so high, so fast!"
