"Sword Array …"
Jiang He mused for a long time but could not get a general direction, and could not help sighing in wonder. "Creating a Sword Array is so difficult and a waste of brain cells!"
"The Immortal Cutting Sword Array?"
"That's a Sword Array that only the Four Immortal Cutting Swords could lay. It's Saint-tier, and there's no way my farm could plant it right now."
Suddenly, an idea flashed through Jiang He's mind. As if catching on to something, he quickly found pen and paper, but was unsure where to start when he picked up the pen.
"Whatever."
"Creating cultivation manuals, martial techniques, and Sword Arrays is no different from writing essays. It requires a flash of inspiration, and I can't be impatient."
Hence, Jiang He put away his pen and paper for now.
Entering his farm, he flung out one corpse after another.
Even without Jiang He's instruction, Dumbo and Trumbo were already using their earth-type powers to dig graves. As the cat and dog's bodies flickered in dirt-yellow radiance, the soil at the empty corner of the farm churned and soon formed graves.
"Oh, and the Graywolf King."
Jiang He then took out the Graywolf King's corpse.
Whoosh!
The Cloudscraper Vine promptly extended a tendril at the Graywolf King, but Jiang He repelled it with a wave of his hand, smiling. "You can't eat this corpse. I've already promised the Graywolf King that I would bury it."
Yup.
Planting it would count as burying it, wouldn't it?
As for whether it would grow back …
I've already buried it. What can I do if it grows back on its own?
The Cloudscraper Vine's tendrils shrank, and its nine 200-meter-long tendrils curled into a ball, appearing rather aggrieved.
Jiang He could not help laughing and barked, "You're just a plant, and you're throwing a tantrum? Alright, I said I wouldn't let you eat the Graywolf King, but I didn't say I wouldn't let you eat anything. "
Taking out the Violet-Crowned Golden Eagle's corpse, Jiang He cut it in half with a wave of his hand and threw it to the Cloudscraper Vine.
Delighted, the Cloudscraper Vine wrapped its tendrils around the Violet-Crowned Golden Eagle's corpse. In just ten minutes, all that was left of the Violet-Crowned Golden Eagle's corpse was a pile of bones and feathers.
On the other hand, the Cloudscraper Vine curled up again.
Jiang He was about to scold the Cloudscraper Vine, but he swallowed his words even as he studied it closely, and exclaimed in delight, "Are you … evolving?"
The Cloudcontact Vine was a unique plant lifeform.
Now, each of its vines was nearly 200 meters long and terrifyingly tough. Even a top Level Nine expert would find it difficult to destroy them. The sharp thorns on the vines could easily pierce through an S-class alloy suit.
Jiang He estimated that not even martial artists who had perfected their Boundary of Wills at rank-nine would be a match for the Cloudscraper Vine now.
If he were to evolve …
That could be considered to be at the "Divine Ability Realm" level.
Beside him, the willow tree's branches were swaying, extending one of its branches and rubbing it against Jiang He's body intimately. Her spirit and thoughts were conveyed, expressing her envy towards the Cloudscraper Vine.
Jiang He grabbed the willow twig that was rubbing against his body and stroked it a few times. The willow twig shuddered, and the crystalline green leaves on it reddened just like a young girl's face.
"Oh?"
"Are you shy?"
Jiang He could not help chuckling. "You're fine rubbing all over my body, but you're embarrassed when I touch you?"
"Ah!"
"Master, you're so naughty ~"
The willow twig shuddered and its leaves reddened even more. A crisp loli's voice echoed in Jiang He's head, and it felt a little cute.
"Hehehehe. You haven't seen the naughtier yet. I'll decipher the daemonic cultivation method and see if you could cultivate it. You might have the chance to assume human form if you could, and I'll bring you around to do naughty things then."
Jiang He teased. It felt …
It was inexplicably absurd …
Was he teasing a willow tree?
Beside him, Dumbo leapt to its feet and exclaimed in delight, "Master, I want to assume human form too, Master, I want to assume human form too …"
Raising its blade, Trumbo wrote on the ground, "Master, I want to assume human form too!"
Jiang He turned to Trumbo in shock. "You … you can write?"
What the hell.
What was that called?
Self-taught?
Moreover, even if it was written with Blade Qi, there was a sense of elegance, and it did not lose out to the calligraphers online or on TV.
Come to think of it, Trumbo had never written before. Could it have learned after ascending up to rank-seven? Most importantly, it had been hanging out with Dumbo, a silly dog that could only count up to fifty. Could it have learned how to write?
"Could it have learned it from eating graveyard grass?"
"Were there any calligraphers among the Sky Demon Cultists I killed?"
Jiang He thought then and asked, "Who taught you how to write?"
Trumbo tilted its head and thought about it before purring and writing again with its blade, "I learned how to write after eating a fruit from a graveyard. What I wrote just now was in the Song script, and aside from that, I can also write regular script, cursive script, clerical script, seal script, semi-cursive script, oracle bone script, tadpole script …"
Jiang He blinked. He knew cursive script, regular script, semi-cursive script, and even oracle bone script since he had learned brush writing before. But tadpole script …
What the heck was that?
Were the Sky Demon Cultists that talented? Or could it be that a certain Heavenly General or Decan of the Sky Demon Cult was a calligrapher in the first place, and after being nurtured by Jiang He's graveyard, his ability in that aspect had been strengthened?
"No, you're already rank-seven and could use spirit acoustics. Why aren't you communicating with me through spirit acoustics?"
Was this dog deliberately showing off its calligraphy skills?
Jiang He caught Trumbo by the neck. The cat had been eating too well recently and had grown fat, to the point that its neck was almost as thick as its body.
Creatures such as cats would appear very short if they were plump from eating too much. Trumbo's four short legs were kicking wildly in the air, and it promptly spoke to Jiang He through spirit acoustics in a childish voice, "I was wrong, Master. I won't show off anymore!"
As expected …
The cat was just trying to show off a little.
Amused, Jiang He nonchalantly threw Trumbo on the ground, though a thought crossed his mind.
Tadpole script?
The jade scroll he found on the Graywolf King's body that recorded daemonic cultivation was written in ancient seal script, each of which resembled tadpoles. Could it be tadpole script?
If that's the case, I could just give it to Trumbo and have it translate it, or cultivate it before teaching it to Dumbo, right? "
Taking out the jade scroll, Jiang He handed it to Trumbo and asked, "Do you recognize the words here?"
Trumbo stood up on its hind legs and received the scroll with its two short front legs. Slowly opening it, it meowed and raised its blade to write on the ground, "Master …"
Trumbo had only written two words when the fur on its neck bristled. Sensing Jiang He's gaze that was about to beat it up, it promptly replied through spirit acoustics, "Master, it's tadpole script, which is also known as tadpole script or tadpole script. The name 'tadpole script' only came into existence during the Han dynasty, and it's an ancient script from the pre-Qin period."
"Master, look, this tadpole character means' Heaven ', this tadpole character means' Demon ', and these two tadpole characters mean' Indestructible '…"
Trumbo's eyes suddenly lit up and it exclaimed in delight, "Sky Daemon Invincibility? Master, is this a daemonic cultivation method? "
"That's right."
Jiang He nodded, saying, "This cultivation method …"
Whoosh!
Even before he could finish, Trumbo had turned into an afterimage and dashed out of the farm, hugging the jade scroll …
Soon enough, Trumbo returned.
Having found a pen and paper, it puffed up its chest and kicked Dumbo's head, meowing a few times.
Furious, Dumbo promptly raised its paw. "How dare you order me around? Do you believe that I'll slap you so hard that your brain would pop out of your head?"
Unafraid, Trumbo stuck its head closer and meowed a few more times, as if taunting it.
"You wouldn't translate Sky Daemon Invincibility for me if I hit you?"
Dumbo did a double take, but its rage soon turned into laughter. Laughing out loud, it darted away and brought over a chair and a table in seconds.
Moreover …
He had picked up a pair of reading glasses from somewhere, and the lenses were gone.
Putting on an act, Trumbo leapt onto the chair and began to translate 'Sky Daemon Invincibility'. Amused, Jiang He walked up and kicked Trumbo away, barking, "Get lost and translate! I'm getting inspired to create a Sword Array!"
Jiang He suddenly remembered a sword cultivator novel he had read, where the main character had many awesome Sword Arrays.
Kicking Trumbo away, Jiang He sat down.
Whipping out pen and paper, he was about to 'create a Sword Array' when he froze …
What was the name of that Sword Array again?
It had been so long that he had forgotten.
"Whatever, having a general idea is fine. I can't be too serious about what's written in there since I'm creating a cultivation manual, and the meaning of the word 'creation' should be reflected!"
"This Sword Array … is actually not much different from a cultivation manual."
Musing to himself for a while, Jiang He wrote down 'Ice and Fire Duality Sword Array', and then various ideas sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
"As I thought, this thing is like writing a composition. I wouldn't come up with anything good if I just think about it, and inspiration would only erupt when I put pen to paper!" Jiang He then crossed out 'Ice and Fire Duality Sword Array'.
Since he was going to create a Sword Array, he would have to make it a little more awesome.
It was just the Ice and Fire Duality Sword Array. What use was it?
"Hmmm … let's assume that the Sword Array I'm going to create is divided into nine folds, and the Ice and Fire Duality Sword Array would be the first fold."
Jiang He had wanted to create one to nine, but how was he supposed to create a Sword Array with one sword?
That was why the first fold would be called the Ice and Fire Duality Sword Array, and the rest would be analogous.
"Second fold …"
"Let's call it the Sword Array of Yin-Yang and Tri-Realms."
Third fold, the Sword Array of Four Harmonies and Ten Thousand Phenomenon.
Fourth fold …
"…"
Jiang He did a double take …
What the hell.
Was he stuck?
He was stuck after creating just three folds of the Sword Array?
"It's not really stuck, but the problem is that I can't think of a good name with five … Sword Array of Five Elements? No way, that's too common and common! "
After thinking for half a day, Jiang He decided …
He would fuse five and six.
"The fourth fold of the Sword Array will be called the Sword Array of Five Elements and Six Pulses. Adding the simple words' Six Pulses' in front of the more common Sword Array of Five Elements feels like a whole new level of coolness!"
He had the idea of fusing five and six.
The fifth fold was even simpler. He just had to fuse the Sword Array of Seven Stars and Eight Trigrams.
The sixth fold was the Sword Array of Nine Heavens Thunderflame.
The seventh fold was the Sword Array of Ten Realms and Infinity.
The eighth fold …
"Hmmm …"
"The name of my Sword Array starts with ten, and it would be eleven or twelve if I create it again. Whatever, I'll just make it to the seventh fold."
Jiang He carefully studied the Sword Array he created twice, and found that …
It was perfect!
Jiang He became troubled again after he polished and added sound and special effects.
He had even thought of a name for each of the seven folds of the Sword Array, but …
What should he name it?
After thinking for half a day and passing over a dozen names, Jiang He smiled helplessly and sighed. "Creating a Sword Array is really too difficult. Others notwithstanding, the naming itself is a torment."
"Forget it. I'll just call it the Nameless Sword Array. It's simple and easy to remember, and most importantly, there's a faint sense of mystery."
That was when Jiang He's phone rang.
It was Zhou Yu. He was very respectful towards Jiang He, greeting him before saying, "Mister Jiang, are you home now? I'm here on Minister Wang's orders to bring you the Orirocks and the Sword Will Barrenwort. Should I deliver them to you now, or … "
Jiang He's eyes lit up and he laughed out loud. "Perfect timing, Deputy Zhou. I'm home now, so hurry up and deliver the Orirocks to me!"
At this time, it was already past nine o 'clock at night.
…
Lingzhou City.
The Martial Arts Department (MAD).
Zhou Yu, who had just arrived at Lingzhou City was rather surprised …
Why the rush?
Still, there must be no delay since Jiang He said that he would deliver them right away.
"Chief Duan, Grandmaster Ji, Grandmaster Cheng, I'm going to deliver the items to Jiang He. We'll talk again when I get back." Zhou Yu offered a fist-palm salute and was about to leave when Cheng Dongfeng jumped out and said seriously, "Deputy Zhou, you must be tired from the journey and haven't rested. How could we let you run errands?"
"I'll deliver the items. By the way, Chief Duan, take Deputy Zhou to the new Feral Restaurant for dinner. Order the best, and it's my treat!"
He took a meter-tall metal crate from Zhou Yu, as well as the sandalwood box containing the Sword Will Barrenwort, and promptly casted his form technique to leave.
Zhou Yu was left gaping, unable to come to his senses even after half a beat, and exclaimed in surprise, "Has Old Cheng changed? He's never treated me to a meal before, so why is he so generous today? "
Ji Dongxu shook his head, utterly baffled as well.
After all, Cheng Dongfeng was a money-grubber, and when everyone celebrated his ascension to rank-eight two days ago, all he did was treat them to a roasted chicken and a few bowls of spicy soup. Why was he running errands for Zhou Yu and treating everyone to a meal at the Feral Restaurant? A simple meal there would cost at least several hundred thousand, would it?
Only Duan Tianhe was stamping his feet and pounding his chest in frustration!
Damn it!
It was Cheng Dongfeng's turn to be rich!
Delivering things to Jiang He in the middle of the night, and if Jiang He was in a good mood, he might even give him a bottle of Origin Fluid …
His reaction was half a beat too slow.
Even as he thought of that, Cheng Dongfeng had already made his move!
