Blood-refined Sword Spirit
Billions of people in the thirty-six prefectures were all trying their best to find metal objects, from iron mountains and silver mines to small pots and pans. They were all collected and sent to the Wanjian Pavilion branch, and then the branch would take them back to the Wanjian Pavilion.
Under the movement of the people, the vast 36 prefectures seemed to have been plundered. Whether it was the villages, the cities, or the prefectures, there was no sign of any metal.
Even the gold and silver jewelry used for decorations were nowhere to be found. They were all collected and sent to Wanjian Pavilion.
Only ten days had passed since Chu Xingyun made his declaration. However, it was in these ten days that all the metals in the thirty-six prefectures returned to the Wanjian Pavilion. Not a single one was left behind.
As the old saying goes, whoever wins the hearts of the people controls the world.
The scene in front of him was a living portrayal!
At this moment, inside the Sword Tomb.
On the vast and desolate ground, five colored flowing lights were dazzling. Besides the tens of thousands of damaged swords, numerous Metal Essences that emitted five colored flowing lights were scattered all over the place.
Taking a closer look, the number of Five Metal Essences was extremely large. One after another, they extended to the end of one's field of vision, but it was impossible to count them all. Clearly, it was no less than a million.
To a blacksmith, a piece of Five Metal Essence was a rare treasure. Normally, one had to use it carefully and did not dare to consume too much of it. It was extremely precious. Nonetheless, the amount of Five Metal Essence in the sword tomb was shocking. If they were piled up, it would be enough to form a tall mountain.
However, this was also a reasonable thing.
One had to know that the essence of the five metals before them had been collected from all over the thirty-six prefectures. The common people did not have the slightest bit of selfishness and had gathered all of them here. The amount was naturally shocking.
In addition to the Five Metal Essence, there was also a thick milky white mist drifting within the Sword Tomb. The source of this milky white mist was naturally the mysterious Sword Spirit.
After this period of nurturing, the Sword Spirit's body was no longer floating. Instead, it had grown a head and four limbs, and it seemed to have the embryonic form of a human. However, its face was blurry, and the Sword Intent lingered around its body, making it impossible for ordinary people to get close to it.
Chu Xingyun, who was dressed in black, sat on the stone platform below. His eyes were closed and his breath was even. It was as if he had entered a state of meditation. The only difference was that at this moment, he did not wear the Black Hole Epee. Instead, he condensed pure spiritual energy and transformed it into Wu Ling's Sword.
Buzz!
Wu Ling's sword, which was as white as jade, hovered above Chu Xingyun's head. The sword trembled slightly, and the sword intent turned into ripples that spread out in all directions. Every inch of space became sharp, and the aura of the sword appeared everywhere.
Chu Xingyun did not seem to care about such a scene. He continued to meditate quietly. Suddenly, the spiritual energy in his body surged and merged into Wu Ling's sword as well as the Sword Spirit of the Void.
At that instant, the Martial Spirit Sword and the Illusionary Sword Spirit both emitted a mystical ripple. The two ripples seemed to be complementing each other, resulting in a strong resonance.
Buzz buzz buzz …
As this resonance became stronger, Wu Ling's sword and the Sword Spirit of the Void began to approach each other. The former's sword light was bright, while the latter's Sword Intent was mysterious. Once they came into contact, not only did they not repel each other, they slowly merged together.
"Merge!" At this moment, Chu Xingyun suddenly opened his eyes. His gaze was like lightning, and he suddenly let out a low roar.
At the same time, a scarlet blood arrow was spat out from his mouth. The moment the blood droplets came into contact with Wu Ling's sword and the Sword Spirit of the Void, a blood mist burst forth and instantly dyed the entire space red.
Seeing this, Chu Xingyun formed an obscure handprint with both hands. The handprint swept across the sky and turned into an invisible giant hand that suppressed the thick blood mist. Wu Ling's sword and the Sword Spirit of the Void were also suppressed. The resonance between the two became stronger and stronger, and they even continued to approach each other, as if they were about to merge into one.
Seeing this incredible scene, Chu Xingyun seemed to have expected it. He was not surprised or happy. He opened his mouth again and spat out a second blood arrow, which disappeared into the thick blood mist.
Every time he spat out a blood arrow, the resonance between the Sword Spirit of the Void and Wu Ling's sword became stronger. The blood mist was so thick that it covered the sky and the sun. It completely covered the two objects, making it impossible to see what was real and what was fake.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
When the ninth blood arrow was spat out, Chu Xingyun's entire face became extremely pale. However, he still formed a complicated handprint and condensed the blood mist bit by bit. Finally, it turned into a blood-red figure.
This blood-red figure was no different from an ordinary human. It had four limbs and a handsome figure. Its face was extremely handsome, especially its pair of eyes. They were pitch-black and deep, as if they contained endless secrets of heaven and earth.
If Tiger Chu and the others were in the Sword Catacomb at this moment, they would definitely be shocked beyond words when they saw the blood-red figure.
There was no other reason. The blood-red figure's face was exactly the same as Chu Xingyun's. Even the aura of the two was exactly the same!
The blood-red figure had intelligence. At this moment, it was staring at Chu Xingyun. Chu Xingyun was also staring at it. Their eyes moved inch by inch. When their gazes met again, the corners of Chu Xingyun's mouth lifted slightly, revealing a satisfied smile.
"I've finally succeeded." Chu Xingyun exhaled a mouthful of turbid air and said to himself with relief.
The blood-red figure in front of him was activated by him using a secret technique to create a strong resonance between Wu Ling's sword and the Void Sword Spirit. Then, he used the nine drops of blood essence as a medium to completely merge the two into one.
The Void Sword Spirit originated from thousands of swords. It was the purest sword essence in heaven and earth.
Wu Ling's sword was formed by heaven and earth. With the sword as the body, it could bear any sword essence.
The origin of the two was the same, and they carried each other. In addition to the baptism and condensation of the blood essence, they could naturally merge together. At this moment, the blood-red figure was Chu Xingyun's Wu Ling. Both of them could sense each other's existence.
"The first step has been completed. Next, let's begin the second step!" After a short moment of joy, Chu Xingyun moved his gaze away from the blood-red figure. His eyes darkened slightly, and his aura became dignified and serious.
"Sword, come!"
Chu Xingyun shouted softly and opened his palm. The pitch-black sword light that belonged to the Black Hole Epee bloomed and covered half the sky. Even the void seemed a little gray.
However, the blood-red figure did not seem to be afraid of the ferocious power of the Black Hole Epee. Its body did not move, and its sword essence wantonly spread out and also covered half the sky.
"As expected of a Sword Spirit formed by heaven and earth. It is indeed not afraid of the power of the Black Hole Epee." Chu Xingyun glanced at the blood-red figure, and his expression was even more satisfied. However, he quickly withdrew his gaze and looked at the Black Hole Epee again.
He stretched out his palm, and his ten fingers released strands of terrifying demonic light. These demonic light merged into the Black Hole Epee, causing the Black Hole Epee to tremble violently. A long crack appeared on the huge, pitch-black body of the sword.
A rumbling sound suddenly burst out. In their field of vision, the long crack disappeared as soon as it appeared. What replaced it was a pitch-black halo.
