How precious were the sword embryos in the Sword Catacomb?
Even the crown prince of a country or a Daoist of a large sect could only enter the Sword Catacomb with a written order from Huangfu Daozi to choose an ordinary sword embryo. Before this, Xu Lingyun had never thought that she would have the opportunity to enter the Sword Catacomb. But now, Fang Xing had casually said that he would give her an Immortal Sword Embryo as easy as eating or drinking.
This surprise was a bit shocking. Even someone as indifferent as Xu Lingyun was so shocked that she was speechless.
When the azure-clothed bandit saw it, he laughed softly and said, "Little bandit, you are really generous. In that case, just accept it. These five sword embryos are indeed the embryos of Immortal Swords. They are one of the peak opportunities in the Mysterious Domain. With them, why would your future cultivation not advance by leaps and bounds?"
Fang Xing looked at the robber from the corner of his eyes. "Don't say bad things about me. I'm listening. Since we are allies and you helped me take care of Senior Sister Lingyun, I originally wanted to give you one. But I'm angry, so I won't give it to you!"
The robber in green smiled and said, "I can guarantee that you will definitely give it to me!"
Fang Xing was excited. "Hurry up and flatter me. How dare you threaten me? I really won't give it to you!"
He had originally wanted to save one sword embryo, but if it didn't work, he would not give it to her.
Although they quarreled, they knew that the cultivators were about to break through the Sword Catacomb. Time was running out, so they quickly let Xu Lingyun and the Golden Crow fuse the remaining two sword embryos. At this time, after the robber's explanation, Fang Xing realized that the five colored sword embryos were not good or bad. Any one of them would have the power to become a Perfected Immortal. His and the Golden Crow's previous speculation was unnecessary.
Originally, he was worried that the Golden Crow and Xu Lingyun were not talented enough and could not successfully fuse with the remaining sword embryos. However, after the robber, he realized that this was not a problem at all. The five colored sword embryos had spirituality. It was just that at this time, the spirituality was in a half-asleep state and did not have absolute intelligence. Most of the time, it acted according to instinct.
For the sword embryo that was slumbering here, its only purpose was to wait for a cultivator to wake it up and choose it.
This choice depended on the cultivator's aptitude and mental state. Only when the aptitude and mental state matched the characteristics of the sword embryo would the sword embryo choose to fuse with the cultivator. This aptitude referred to the cultivator's innate aptitude and had nothing to do with acquired cultivation elements. The mental state was determined by forcefully reading the cultivator's memories, and memories could not be faked.
The Great Golden Crow said that there was no problem with its aptitude and was full of confidence. Fang Xing believed this. After all, it was the descendant of the ancient three-legged Golden Crow. It was clearly a bird, but it had the third leg of a human. Just based on this strangeness, it was not an ordinary crow. In addition, it seemed to have obtained a special opportunity in the Mysterious Region. Its demonic body was tyrannical, so its aptitude was even harder to distinguish.
As for Xu Lingyun, her aptitude was not bad either. Otherwise, the Green Bird would not have found her among the corpses and brought her to the Blue Cloud Sect. However, her Dao foundation was only at the high grade red. This was not because of her aptitude, but because she did not have enough resources when she was at the Spiritual Movement Realm. As a result, when she condensed her Dao foundation, her potential was not fully unleashed.
After all, in the world of cultivation, resources were the most important. The amount of resources seriously affected one's achievements in cultivation.
However, this was not a big problem. The junior division leaders of the three demon tribes had four elixirs with some "Immortal Blood" sealed on them. According to them, after consuming it, it could temporarily deceive the sword embryo of the Immortal Sword and integrate it into one's body. These four drops of blood were originally for the three of them and Lei Jiu. Each of them had one drop in case something unexpected happened. However, Lei Jiu had already been killed by Fang Xing. The three of them had each taken a drop, so there was only one left for Xu Lingyun.
This way, she could integrate it into the sword embryo first. Even if there were any problems in the future, it would be a problem in the future.
In addition, the robber in green had said that the sword embryo chose a cultivator based on one's talent and state of mind. The most important factor was opportunity. The so-called opportunity was actually timing and karma. Any cultivator who could come before the sword embryo was fated with the sword embryo. This went without saying. Opportunity referred to the moment when the cultivator came before the sword embryo.
The earlier one came, the deeper the opportunity. The later one came, the less likely the opportunity. If one came after the sword embryo had chosen its master, there would be no more opportunity.
Xu Lingyun and the Golden Crow became the first creatures who devoutly fused with the sword embryo. This was their fated chance, and it was much stronger than their innate talents and mental state. Therefore, it was not difficult for them to fuse with the sword embryo.
Of course, this also reflected Fang Xing's frustration.
He was the first to arrive and his talent was not bad, but all five sword embryos rejected him …
Damn it, was my state of mind that bad?
At this thought, he could not help but ponder the black sword that he had integrated with. What was that thing?
"Did you take all the other sword embryos?"
Seeing that the Great Golden Crow and Xu Lingyun were collecting the sword embryos, Fang Xing and the robber in green didn't want to disturb them. They went to the door to guard. Looking at the empty graveyard in the distance, the robber in green looked at Fang Xing. His eyes under the mask shone brightly.
Fang Xing pondered for a moment and chuckled. "It's already good enough to give you a celestial sword embryo. Do you want to share these too?"
The robber in green said, "You're such a despicable person. When did I say I wanted your celestial sword embryo?"
Fang Xing's eyes brightened. "You don't want it?"
In reality, he had planned to give the celestial sword embryo to the green-clothed bandit. Firstly, it was useless for him to keep it. After all, whether he was forced to do it or not, he had already fused with the black sword embryo. He could no longer choose another sword embryo. Secondly, he had so many ordinary sword embryos to deal with, and his current situation was not too good. He urgently needed a powerful helper.
Because of this, he planned to give the robber the celestial sword embryo to solidify their alliance.
However, when he heard that the robber in green didn't want it, he was overjoyed. How could such a good thing happen?
Seeing his happy expression, the robber in green couldn't help but laugh. "I don't want it because I already have a sword embryo to nourish me. However, you still want to give me a celestial sword embryo because I want to give it to someone!"
Hearing this, Fang Xing looked at the robber in green in surprise. Wasn't this mystical sword embryo extinct in the Tianyuan Continent a long time ago? Why did this robber already have a sword embryo to nourish him? However, he and the robber had always had a tacit understanding. As long as the robber didn't say anything, the other would not pry into the other's secrets. Thus, he waited for a moment. Seeing that the robber had no intention of explaining, he didn't ask. He only said dejectedly, "Whether you want it for yourself or give it to someone else, you still need it …"
The robber in green laughed. "I want to give it to someone else for you!"
Fang Xing was slightly surprised and raised his head to look at him.
The robber in green sighed. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly raised his head and said, "Let's talk about this later. It looks like you won't be able to leave before the cultivators come in. Think of a way to deal with these angry cultivators!"
After he sensed it, Fang Xing also raised his head and looked forward. Under the cover of the fog, two figures were already rushing over. One of them was riding a heavenly horse, wearing a long robe. He was majestic and had an austere aura. Without even looking closely, one could tell that it was one of the Four Heroes of the Western Desert, the son of the Han family. Beside him, there was another person competing with him. Based on the ghostly aura, one could tell that it was Li Ying.
"Fang Xing, you son of a b * tch. I was wondering why I could only see the black fog when I attacked the formation, but I didn't see your figure. It turns out that you, son of a b * tch, sneaked in. Are you worthy of those of us who followed you to attack the Sword Tomb? You even want to trick your allies. This prince simply looks down on you. Wahhh, hand over the sword embryo, or else this prince will first … "
As Li Ying flew over, he shouted loudly, and his anger was evident in his words.
This anger was normal. No matter who it was, they would probably want to chop Fang Xing to death.
It was clearly this little bastard who raised the flag, saying that the cultivators would attack the Sword Catacomb together and take the sword embryo. In the end, he let the cultivators divert the attention of the people guarding the Sword Catacomb while he snuck in through another door. Wasn't this asking others to help him fight for nothing, only to end up with nothing? This was really too infuriating. Even a ghost couldn't tolerate this!
Han Ying from the Western Desert didn't say anything. However, looking at his murderous aura, it was clear that he wasn't in a good mood either.
The two of them were relatively strong. Together, they broke a gap in the formation and broke in. Then, they passed through the people of the three tribes who were guarding the valley entrance and entered the depths of the Sword Catacomb before the other cultivators. They wanted to choose a mystical sword embryo, but they didn't expect to see nothing but a barren land. It would be strange if they weren't angry, and their killing intent had already risen.
These two were the heroes of a region. Even when Fang Xing was at his peak, it would not be easy to defeat them. However, now that Fang Xing was in his worst condition, the two of them were clearly no match for him. The robber in green also noticed this. He laughed evilly and moved to the side. He said with a smile, "This is not a small problem. It will be difficult for me to deal with the two of them by myself. Let's see if you have any way to deal with it!" He looked as if he was purposely not helping and wanted to see what Fang Xing would do.
Fang Xing glanced at the robber in green and understood his thoughts. He felt a bit of disdain in his heart. Using such a small matter to test me, this green-robed bastard really underestimated him. As he thought of this, he faced the furious Li Ying and Han Ying. Not only did he not have any intention of retreating, but instead, he angrily rushed forward. When they were about a hundred feet away, he shouted, "Why are you two bastards only here now?"
