Chapter 159: Refining the Soul Sword Embryo, Thousand Illusion Sword Technique
Compared to the previous Water Spirit Pearl, this sword embryo is much more difficult to refine.
Even with the help of the magical soul refining technique, it still took Ye Linyuan nearly a month to completely refine it.
Fortunately, despite its difficulty, the rewards after successful refining are also amazing.
Ye Linyuan was finally surprised to find that the quality of his own mana had undergone an unprecedented qualitative change, reaching five times the strength of the water-attributed true essence of the same level.
"Five times the mana quality."
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, and couldn't help showing a look of surprise.
You know, even if it is the so-called Fire Sea Golden Lotus Skill that is unparalleled in killing, when it reaches the great perfection stage of foundation building, the quality of its mana is only three times that of ordinary water-attribute mana.
Ye Linyuan's mana quality has increased fivefold, which has made his mana quality comparable to that of a Fire Sea Golden Lotus practitioner in the late stage of foundation building.
In addition to the quality of mana, refining the Xuanjin Sword Embryo also brought Ye Linyuan a power.
That is Jian Yuan.
The sword energy is an extremely special kind of power, which can usually only be successfully cultivated by sword cultivators. The characteristic of the sword energy is that it can enhance the magical power of the sword.
The lethality of any sword magic and supernatural power, as long as it is driven by sword energy, can often be increased by at least 50%. This is also the domineering aspect of sword cultivation.
Ye Linyuan's main skill in his previous life was sword cultivation, so he was able to burst out with invincible combat power among his peers. He even fought to the death in the Jiexu forbidden area and seriously injured a Yuanying Zhenjun with a single sword strike.
As powerful as the sword energy is, it naturally has certain limitations.
First of all, Jian Yuan only blesses flying swords and sword skills. If it is used to activate other spiritual weapons or magical powers, the power will be greatly reduced, and there is even the possibility of damaging the spiritual weapon.
Moreover, the sword energy is too overbearing, so when it is activated it often causes a certain burden on the meridians. Although there is no big problem in normal times, if it is activated with full strength in a battle, it is possible to cause certain injuries to the meridians.
Although these injuries can be repaired with healing pills, a little bit of the extremely domineering sword intent will still remain, which will deplete one's own original power over time.
In his previous life, Ye Linyuan had accumulated too many hidden injuries. Unless he could find some extremely rare third-level elixirs to restore his essence and heal the hidden injuries in his body, he would not be able to reach the Nascent Soul stage.
"My sword energy, or my magic power, seems to be able to transform at will."
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, and couldn't help showing a hint of surprise.
He discovered that his magic power was extremely special and could be transformed into sword energy and ocean magic power without any hindrance.
In other words, Ye Linyuan can activate the vast sea of magic power in his body, and after the magic power leaves his meridians, it will be transformed into unparalleled sword power.
He can enhance the power of his sword skills and flying sword by adding sword energy to them.
When casting the Yuanchen Water Controlling Flag and other spells and even magic weapons, they are driven by the gentle power of the Canghai Mingyue.
In this way, Ye Linyuan can not only enjoy the advantages of sword energy, but also completely avoid the shortcomings of sword cultivation.
"Sword cultivation without side effects."
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.
The path of water-attributed sword cultivation is actually the most common path of sword cultivation, because water cultivation can make up for some of the shortcomings of sword cultivation that harm the body.
However, sword cultivators who specialize in water magic can only abandon the path of formations, or take the special water attribute sword formation method, which can be said to have great limitations. Now that Ye Linyuan can take the path of sword cultivation, he can ignore the various shortcomings of sword essence. It seems that his offensive ability will be greatly improved in the future.
"For defense and trapping the enemy, I have the Yuanchen Water Control Flag, and for healing, I have the Canghai Mingyue Gong. My ability to save my life was very strong before, but my means of attacking the enemy were slightly insufficient."
"Now that the quality of my mana has been made up, and I have even received the blessing of the sword essence, it seems that I can practice the prerequisite spells for the Wanhua Sword Art."
Ye Linyuan pondered in his heart, and became even more excited about practicing the magical sword technique he created in his previous life.
So he didn't delay any longer and immediately lowered his eyes and began to practice the prerequisite spells for the Wanhua Sword Art.
The prerequisite spell for the Wanhua Sword Art is called the Thousand Illusions Sword Art. It was originally just an ordinary entry-level spell. After being deduced and improved by Ye Linyuan in his previous life, it eventually became an unparalleled top-notch entry-level spell.
In his previous life, Ye Linyuan created the pseudo-supernatural power Wanhua Sword Art based on this technique, and eventually deduced it all the way to the realm of quasi-great supernatural power.
Now that I have the sword energy and the quality of my mana is sufficient, it would be a natural thing for me to pick it up again and cultivate it again.
Only half a day later, Ye Linyuan had cultivated this technique to the Mahayana realm, and was only one step away from the pseudo-magical power - [Pseudo Wanhua Sword Art].
"Yin——"
After mastering the Thousand Illusions Sword Technique, Ye Linyuan immediately tried to activate it.
As waves of transcendent sword chants rang out, thousands of sword energies began to swirl around Ye Linyuan, circling like thousands of swords returning to their origin.
After being perfected by Ye Linyuan, the Thousand Illusions Sword Technique not only greatly increased its power, but most importantly, it could be controlled at will.
Activating the Mahayana Thousand Illusions Sword Art is almost equivalent to activating thousands of flying swords across the sky. Each sword can burst out with terrifying power. It can be said to be a superior spell that can be used for both offense and defense.
This is just the Thousand Illusions Sword Technique. If it is the Ten Thousand Transformations Sword Technique, it can make all the swords merge into one, and burst out with unparalleled power that can severely injure the Yuanying True Lord across levels.
"With the blessing of the Thousand Illusions Sword Art and the Sword Essence, my attack power is outstanding among those in the late stage of foundation building, and is comparable to that of a great monk of the Golden Law who has reached the eighth level of foundation building."
"If it's an ordinary Shuimu foundation building, even if it's a great perfection foundation building, I might be able to compare with it."
Ye Linyuan estimated in his mind, then stood up calmly. Thousands of sword energies around him swirled back and transformed into the purest magic power of the sea, which was absorbed into his body.
After retracting the Thousand Illusions Sword Technique, Ye Linyuan calmly stood up and left the cave's spiritual eye.
As a result, as soon as his spiritual eyes came out, he sensed two auras rising continuously, and it was obvious that someone was trying to break through to the foundation-building stage.
"Linze and Huaixue are making their final push to establish their foundation."
Ye Qinxin was protecting them, and when he saw Ye Linyuan coming out, he spoke.
Upon hearing this, Ye Linyuan nodded slightly. He is eighty-eight years old this year, and Ye Linze is eleven years older than him, which means he is ninety-nine years old.
Although Ye Huaixue is only ninety-two years old, her wood spiritual roots can only be impacted once every ten years, and this is her last chance to break through to the foundation.
Understanding this, Ye Linyuan looked at Shui Hanqing, and seeing Shui Hanqing nodded, he said, "According to your blessing, I have prepared a foundation-building pill for each of them."
Ye Linyuan nodded, and then said: "Their aptitude is not too strong, and time is a little tight. Whether they can succeed depends on their luck."
