The black liquid had merged perfectly with the blade and was under his control. Did that mean he could use the black liquid to build seals inside the blade?
If he could, as long as he built enough seals, the Pan Mountain Blade could return to its original quality, or even … surpass it.
This meant that from now on, the Pan Mountain Blade would become a personal weapon that he could change its quality to his will. If this could be done, it would be a great help to Lu Ye.
Lu Ye had always been worried about one thing.
That was to see how far the Pan Mountain Saber could accompany him as he grew stronger.
This was also the reason why most weapon cultivators felt awkward. Weapon cultivators had very high requirements for their personal weapons. After a long period of companionship, growth, and killing enemies, the weapon cultivator would be able to communicate with his weapon. With the Pan Mountain Saber in hand, Lu Ye would be able to display his full strength. It was the same for other weapon cultivators. However, if he were to switch to another weapon, not only would his strength be weakened, but it would also affect his strength.
When powerful cultivators fought, any external influence could be fatal.
Therefore, Lu Ye would rather spend more contribution points to upgrade his Pan Shan Saber than change to a long saber. If he wanted to change, there were plenty of long saber-type magic tools in the War Merit Pavilion that he could use.
However, the Pan Mountain Blade's foundation was too weak. It was originally a low grade spiritual weapon. It could be upgraded to a high grade spiritual weapon or even a magic weapon, but could it be upgraded to a high grade spiritual treasure?
Maybe, maybe not.
The process of upgrading the Pan Mountain Blade was extremely risky. If the upgrade failed, the Pan Mountain Blade might shatter. At that time, even if Lu Ye found a tailor-made Pan Mountain Blade, it wouldn't be the Pan Mountain Blade anymore. It would need to be nurtured and reconnected with.
Especially since Lu Ye's cultivation was increasing rapidly, the Pan Mountain Blade was upgrading at a high rate. This increased the risk of future upgrades.
He was now in the Spirit Sea Realm. The Pan Mountain Blade wasn't suitable for him anymore. It was time to upgrade it again.
His original plan was to wait until he was free to deal with this matter himself and accumulate more experience.
There were too many uncertainties if he always went to the Tianji Treasury to upgrade the Pan Mountain Blade. He couldn't be sure how much effort they put into upgrading the Pan Mountain Blade.
Upgrading one's cultivation would lead to all sorts of problems that needed to be dealt with.
However, the unforeseen event before Lu Ye saw a possibility.
If his guess was correct, then he wouldn't have to worry about upgrading the Pan Mountain Saber anymore. He could change the quality of the Pan Mountain Saber at any time, making it more suitable for his current realm.
After thinking about it for a moment, Lu Ye felt that it should be feasible.
The fact that the black liquid that made up the Soul Severing Blade could be controlled at will was a signal in itself.
After making up his mind, Lu Ye channeled his Divine Will into the Pan Shan Saber.
To control the black liquid, one had to rely on one's own Divine Sense. This was something that Lu Ye had already verified just now. Urging spiritual energy was useless.
With a surge of his spiritual will, the black liquid inside the Pan Mountain Saber turned into tiny Yin and Yang elements, quickly forming a spiritual pattern.
Withdrawing his Divine Sense, the Spirit Rune was fixed inside the Pan Mountain Saber. Because it had already fused with the Pan Mountain Saber, it didn't cause any damage to the inside of the saber.
This was a restriction. It was really feasible!
Lu Ye's interest was piqued, and he continued to work. After a while, the Pan Mountain Saber had nine additional restrictions. It was a low-grade spiritual weapon.
He tried to channel his spiritual energy into the saber, and the restrictions operated smoothly, perfectly displaying their effects.
After fiddling with the saber for a while, Lu Ye dispersed the restrictions.
Just now, it was just an experiment. Now that he was sure that the idea was feasible, he had to plan it well.
The foundation of restrictions in a spiritual weapon was the spiritual pattern. A sharpness spiritual pattern was a restriction, and a consolidation spiritual pattern was also a restriction. Their effects were different.
Spiritual weapons of the same quality could be heavier, sharper, or more elegant. It wasn't just because of the different materials used to refine them, but also because of the proportion of restrictions inside.
The more consolidation restrictions there were, the sturdier the spiritual weapon would be. The more sharpness there were, the sharper the spiritual weapon would be.
Lu Ye had to consider how to match the different types of restrictions.
In the past, when the Pan Mountain Saber was being upgraded, he would look for Master Yu and simply state his requirements. Then, Master Yu would do whatever he wanted. Whether the finished product was good or bad, whether it could satisfy his requirements, or whether it was to his liking, all depended on Master Yu's skills.
"Myriad Worlds Daluo."
However, it was different now. What he was doing now was equivalent to customizing a weapon for himself.
Only he himself knew what he needed the most.
All along, Lu Ye's requirements for the Pan Mountain Saber were to be heavy. After all, he was going to use the saber in close combat. If it wasn't heavy enough, it would break easily.
Therefore, he had to have more consolidation restrictions to ensure that the Pan Mountain Saber wouldn't be damaged in battle.
He also had to have sharpness. Although he would activate the sharpness spiritual pattern to strengthen the saber, it wouldn't be good if the Pan Mountain Saber itself wasn't sharp enough.
In the future, he would have to fight with Divine Sea Realm cultivators. At this level of cultivation, he would be very protective of himself. A weapon that wasn't sharp enough wouldn't be of much use in battle.
Heavy Pressure was a good thing. It had to be added, and the quantity couldn't be too small.
Although the Pan Mountain Saber wasn't light, it wasn't heavy either. However, if the Heavy Pressure spiritual pattern was activated in battle …
It was clearly a slash, but after receiving the attack, one would find that it was as heavy as a mountain. Could one block it?
Of course, the reality wouldn't be so exaggerated. However, the existence of the Heavy Pressure restriction would definitely make Lu Ye more powerful in battle. He would be able to unleash his physical strength to a greater extent.
Thorns could be used.
Sometimes, it would be difficult to deal effective damage to a strong enemy. The existence of the Thorns restriction could turn a small injury into a big injury.
Could he add restrictions like Lightning Attraction or Golden Arc to the Pan Mountain Saber?
It was clearly a slash, but if it was activated with Lightning Attraction Technique and Golden Arc Slash, it seemed to be able to catch the enemy off guard.
Lu Ye found that there were too many restrictions to choose from.
The source came from his Talent Tree. Now, there were a total of 40 spiritual patterns activated on his Talent Tree. Although many of them weren't suitable to be built into weapons, there were still some that were suitable.
After pondering for a long time, he finally abandoned some of his fancy ideas. The restrictions within weapons were the same as what cultivators learned. They were all about quality and not complexity. If he were to make so many restrictions, he would just be dividing up the ratio of restrictions for no reason. It might not be of much use.
If he really wanted to activate a spell, Lu Ye could do it himself. There was no need to waste the restrictions on the Pan Mountain Saber.
In the end, he decided to use the Pan Mountain Saber. The restrictions within the Pan Mountain Saber focused on sharpness, supplemented by Heavy Pressure, and added two thorns.
He immediately got to work. With a surge of his Spiritual Sense, he controlled the black liquid within the saber to construct restrictions.
Time passed.
The spiritual patterns that Lu Ye chose were all activated on his Talent Tree. Constructing them was easy and didn't take much effort at all.
Controlling the black liquid was even easier. With the combination of the two, the Pan Mountain Saber's quality increased as the number of restrictions increased.
Low-grade spiritual weapon, middle-grade, high-grade, supreme-grade, low-grade magic weapon, middle-grade magic weapon …
In just a short while, he was done.
Carefully looking at the Pan Mountain Saber on his lap, it didn't seem to have changed at all. It was still as black as ink, simple and unadorned.
However, compared to before, the Pan Mountain Saber had undergone a complete transformation.
Although the Pan Mountain Saber from before was a magic weapon, it was only a low-grade magic weapon of the lowest quality. It contained 72 restrictions.
After all, the last time Lu Ye upgraded the Pan Mountain Saber was when it was still in the Cloud River Realm. Cloud River Realm cultivators couldn't use items of too high quality.
In the entire True Lake Realm, he didn't upgrade the Pan Mountain Saber. Strictly speaking, the Pan Mountain Saber couldn't keep up with his cultivation anymore.
Now, a total of 180 restrictions were hidden within the Pan Mountain Saber. This saber that had followed Lu Ye everywhere had finally been upgraded to a supreme-grade magic weapon.
One more step and it would be a spiritual treasure. Actually, Lu Ye could also upgrade the Pan Mountain Saber to a spiritual treasure. After all, it was a simple matter for him to construct a few more spiritual patterns.
The reason why he hadn't done so was because he needed to familiarize himself with the process.
The upgrade from a low-grade magic weapon to a spiritual treasure was too big. It would definitely affect his ability to unleash his full strength. The Pan Mountain Saber's quality was just right.
Furthermore, the quality of the Pan Mountain Saber was also a problem.
The current Pan Mountain Saber was made by Master Yu. Although she added some materials when she refined it, it was only enough to increase the quality of the Pan Mountain Saber to the point where it could bear the weight of magic weapon restrictions.
If Lu Ye really upgraded the Pan Mountain Saber to a spiritual treasure, the current quality of the Pan Mountain Saber might not be enough.
He didn't want the Pan Mountain Saber to suddenly break in the middle of an intense battle.
It was easy to solve this problem. He only needed to reforge it and find more precious materials to improve the quality of the Pan Mountain Saber.
Lu Ye could do this himself. It wouldn't be too late for him to do it in the future.
He picked up the Pan Mountain Saber and poured his spiritual energy into it. He immediately felt the difference in the Pan Mountain Saber.
The consumption of his spiritual energy was more than three times greater than before. This was because the number of restrictions within the saber had increased. Activating those restrictions required a large amount of spiritual energy.
This would undoubtedly make it easier for him to unleash his full strength. On the pitch-black blade of the Pan Mountain Saber, there was a layer of aura that was hard to detect. It was the aura of sharpness.
The restrictions that Lu Ye had placed in the Pan Mountain Saber this time were quite sharp. Once activated, the saber would naturally become sharp.
Looking at the Pan Mountain Saber, Lu Ye was extremely satisfied. This was truly a case of 'there can be no construction without destruction.' The items in the War Merit Pavilion were truly fair. The five hundred thousand battle merits were worth it. If Lu Ye had known that the Soul Severing Saber had such a special characteristic, he wouldn't have hesitated even if it was a million.
