Chapter 482 - 310: Thousand Threads of Sword Aura Forge a Divine Technique, Shattered Star’s Mystery Devours Heihu

After seeing off the respectful council commissioner, Han Feng immediately returned to his underground Quiet Chamber.

The surrounding metal walls gleamed with a cold luster. In the corner, the inscribed patterns of a Spirit Gathering Array emitted a faint blue light, maintaining the Spiritual Qi in the room at an extremely high concentration.

Han Feng sat down cross-legged and sank his consciousness into his Sea of Consciousness, where the system’s light screen, visible only to him, unfolded once more.

[Profession: Swordsman]

[Conditions for Promotion to [Sword Master]:]

[1. Core Swordsmanship [Sword Control Technique] has reached the Small Success level. (Completed)]

[2. Cultivate at least two [Swordsmanship·Body Techniques] to the Small Success level. (Completed)]

[3. Comprehend one weapon-related [Divine Technique]. (Rudimentary form has emerged, 1/100)]

[4. Host’s Cultivation has reached the [Enlightenment Realm]. (Completed)]

[5. Lifebound Flying Sword’s Grade has been upgraded to the "Spiritual Artifact" level. (Completed)]

Of the five conditions, only the last one remained.

A Weapon Divine Power.

He had already figured out the method: to use the [Divine Power Module] while in a state of "Man and Sword Unity" to deeply analyze and strengthen the [Breaking Aura] Array within his Lifebound Flying Sword, [Broken Star].

But this process was incredibly costly.

’Increasing the progress by 1% at a time requires at least ten threads of Sword Aura and a massive amount of Spiritual Power.’

This meant that to bring this nascent Divine Technique to Perfection, he would need at least a thousand threads of Sword Aura.

A thousand threads!

In the past, he probably would have needed to consume a large quantity of potions to accomplish this.

But now, the acupoints in his body, which were being nurtured by twenty Longevity Sword Seeds, concealed a full 6,000 threads of Sword Aura.

It was more than enough to support the consumption required for his current training.

However, the state of Man and Sword Unity consumed more than just Sword Aura.

The consumption of Spiritual Power was the biggest issue. Even though his Spiritual Power was currently at 4,500 hertz, he wouldn’t be able to withstand many attacks in the state of Man and Sword Unity.

Therefore, it was essential to purchase some potions to restore his Spiritual Power.

If he weren’t worried about the potential risks of Divine Soul Crystals, they were the best items for spiritual recovery.

Unfortunately, he didn’t dare to use them.

It wasn’t that he distrusted the Speaker’s character and power, but that for the first time, the identification feature provided by his system had failed to give him precise information.

The implication was self-evident.

The Grade of those things was definitely not as low as one might think.

To put it more bluntly, they might contain high-grade impurities.

Of course, this was all just speculation on his part.

But even if there was only the slightest chance of something going wrong, he didn’t want to become the next Li Wei.

With his system, he could grow stronger quickly without them, so he refused to take the risk.

With this in mind, Han Feng activated the "Tinder Terminal" on his wrist and opened the exchange list.

He currently had 68,500 available Contribution Points.

He expertly began to browse the list.

[Tier Four Lower Grade·Clear Heart and Spirit-Nourishing Jade Dew]: Refined from the morning dew collected from the peak of a High Mountain Snow Lotus, supplemented with the powdered Soul Core of a Tier Four Calm Heart Demon Beast.

It rapidly restores Spiritual Power, stabilizes the Divine Soul, and has miraculous effects for those who undertake high-intensity mental work. Exchange Price: 1,000 Contribution Points/bottle.

"A thousand a bottle? That’s highway robbery!"

Han Feng couldn’t help but grumble.

Fortunately, he was about to receive 100,000 points, so this sum was nothing to him.

He estimated that he would need at least ten bottles to see it through to the end.

Thus, he placed an order for ten without hesitation.

In an instant, 10,000 Contribution Points vanished.

In less than five minutes, ten exquisite little white jade vials were delivered to his door by a dedicated courier.

Back in the Quiet Chamber, Han Feng took a deep breath and cast all distracting thoughts from his mind.

"Time to get to work!"

With a single thought, the black [Broken Star] short sword materialized out of thin air, emitting a joyful hum in front of him.

"It’s all up to you now, old friend."

Han Feng reached out and gently stroked the blade.

VMMMM!

His consciousness instantly linked with the Flying Sword, and he entered the wondrous state of "Man and Sword Unity."

The entire world seemed to slow down. The complex network of Spirit Patterns inside the Flying Sword became as clearly visible to him as his own veins.

’Divine Power Module, activate!’

’Target: The inscription structure within Broken Star—Breaking Aura!’

’Energy infusion: ten threads of Sword Aura!’

Han Feng issued the commands in his mind.

BOOM!

A portion of the Sword Aura within his Dantian was instantly siphoned away, transforming into the purest form of energy. It surged through his Spiritual Link with the Flying Sword and was brutally channeled into the core of the [Breaking Aura] Array.

In that instant, the entire Array flared with a blinding light.

The energy patterns, which had originally flowed along fixed paths, "came to life."

Under Han Feng’s "gaze," countless Energy Particles began to frantically compress, rotate, and collapse in a profound and mystical way.

A fundamental Mystical Technique concerning "Piercing" and "Tearing" flowed into his understanding like a trickling stream.

’This is the feeling!’

Han Feng’s eyes focused, and he drove the Flying Sword with his Divine Sense.

SWOOSH!

With no astonishing display of power, the [Broken Star] short sword transformed into a nearly invisible black line and shot forward.

The instant the sword’s tip touched the target’s surface, Han Feng infused that wisp of Mystical Technique he had just grasped into the attack.

SHING!

[Ding! Nascent Divine Technique comprehension progress: 2/100.]

SWOOSH!

[Nascent Divine Technique comprehension progress: 3/100.]

He drank a potion to recover.

SWOOSH!

[Nascent Divine Technique comprehension progress: 4/100.]

...

While Han Feng was in seclusion, diligently cultivating and attempting to break through the barrier to his [Divine Technique], the outside world was already in an uproar over the anomaly at Broken Star Reef.

"SHOCKING! Ling Xuzi, a Celestial Pride from Kunlun Holy City, has discovered ancient ruins on the edge of the East Sea Dragon Abyss and named them the [Divine Crystal Hall]!"

"EARTH-SHATTERING DISCOVERY! Inside the [Divine Crystal Hall], the Soul Power and Vitality of Sea Beasts can be extracted and condensed into [Divine Soul Crystals] and a [Vitality Blood Pool]!
