Chapter 422: Chapter 420: Nebula Sword Array_1
The Nebula Sword aura projected a vivid phantom that was teeming with spirituality, sensing the formidable threat of the deep black Wind and Thunder Sword aura. The nebula swirled, and several meteor-like sword auras tore through the starry sky, aiming at Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan was unfazed. He wielded the Wind Thunder Sword, countering the incoming meteor sword aura along with numerous deep black sword lights.
A squelching noise echoed.
The first meteor sword aura shattered with a crashing sound, countless tiny sword auras exploded like fireworks, blending into the ordinary sword auras that filled the sky.
The Wind Thunder Sword didn’t lose momentum. Like a fleeing antelope, it swiftly adjusted and moved on to meet the second meteor sword aura.
The Fourth-Grade Wind Thunder Sword itself was of good quality. After having been fused with the Sword of Wind and Thunder Pellet that Lu Xuan obtained earlier, and been nurtured over a long duration by the Mysterious Yangxuan Scabbard, its quality got further elevated.
Furthermore, Lu Xuan had absorbed multiple experience packages from the “Wind Thunder Sword Scripture,” and gained abundant chances to exercise his sword techniques when cultivating the Wind and Thunder Swordgrass.
However, this Nebula Phantom, though it had highly valued sword implements hidden behind it, had no cultivator to operate it or spiritual power to drive it. It couldn’t help but lose quickly in the face-to-face battle against Lu Xuan as it relied solely on the instinct of the sword implement.
A three-foot flying sword fell into Lu Xuan’s hand. The sword body was very splendid, resembling a nebula in motion. As it vibrated faintly, a sword aura shot out with exceptional speed, hinting at a special form of power.
As usual, Lu Xuan pulled the Thunder Sound Sword out from the sheath and placed this newly obtained flying sword inside.
He focused his mind on the Nurturing Xuan Sword Sheath, a thought crossing his mind.
[Nurturing Xuan Sword Sheath, unknown treasure…]
[Currently nurturing the Fourth-Grade Nebula Sword.]
[Nebula Sword, part of a set of flying swords, nine flying swords in total in a complete implement, scattered throughout the Sword Pool.]
[The flying sword was forged from Starfall Meteorite Iron, contains a bit of Star Power, and can manipulate star power. Multiple Nebula Swords can form a Nebula Sword Array, the more the stronger the formation. A full Nebula Sword Array can rival a Fifth-Grade Flying Sword.]
“The Nebula Sword, part of a set of flying swords that can form a Nebula Sword Array. It’s a shame there’s only one in here.”
First, Lu Xuan felt a glimmer of joy, then a pang of regret.
“A Fourth-Grade Flying Sword with an Array that could be compared to a Fifth-Grade Flying Sword indicates the might of the Nebula Sword Array.”
“Should I add this incomplete Nebula Sword to my collection?”
He hesitated to himself.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him, seemingly recognizing a terrific loophole.
“A complete implement consists of nine Nebula Swords. If I were to find a few more Nebula Swords, wouldn’t that be considered one implement slot?”
“Err, even less than one?”
The more he thought about it, the more feasible this approach seemed.
Perhaps there were less than nine Nebula Swords left in the Sword Pool, but if he could find a few more and form a Nebula Sword Array, it would far surpass the power of a single Fourth-Grade Flying Sword.
“Given the proclivity and sensitivity of the Yangxuan Scabbard to high-quality sword implements, finding the remaining Nebula Swords scattered throughout the Sword Pool shouldn’t be an issue.”
“The key is how the Sword Hall defines it. Basely speaking, a few Nebula Swords can’t constitute a complete implement, but the interpretation rights lie in the hands of the Golden Pellet elder uncle and the Sword Hall high level.”
“Well, let’s find a few more Nebula Swords first. If it doesn’t work out, I can come back to the Sword Pool later to search. After all, I will soon know the Method of Condensing Wind and Thunder Swordgrass Seeds and cultivate two Fourth-Grade Swordgrass plants, so meeting the entry qualifications won’t be difficult.”
Lu Xuan thought confidently.
He lifted the ancient sword sheath from his waist and conveyed a thought to it.
“How’s the new flying sword? Do you feel as if you’re in the starry sky?”
The scabbard lightly tapped at its end, extremely satisfied with the newly inserted Nebula Sword.
“In the sword pool, there are quite a few flying swords like this…”
Lu Xuan’s tone was full of allure.
“Do you want to try using two swords, or even more? If you do, find the other Nebula Swords for me. I promise I’ll treat you well.”
“Go! Useless scabbard!”
Lu Xuan released the ancient scabbard in his hand. Supported by his spiritual power, it ignored the pervasive Sword Qi, moving straight in the low air.
Less than an hour later, Lu Xuan successfully located the second Nebula Phantom and acquired the second Nebula Sword.
The ancient scabbard lightly tasted the marvelous feeling of the two Nebula Swords, full of motivation, and continued to search for the third Nebula Sword.
“Another Nebula Phantom has been found.”
Lu Xuan spotted a Nebula Phantom from afar in a valley, his heart filled with joy. With the Sword Fruit in hand, he swiftly navigated through the pervasive Sword Qi.
Soon, he arrived several meters from the Nebula Phantom. With two successful subjugation experiences, he was already experienced. The Divine Essence Scroll in his Sea of Consciousness emanated a mellow spiritual light, keeping his mind clear.
Just as he was about to subdue the Nebula Phantom, suddenly a Sword Aura Lotus bloomed beneath the phantom. The petals were slender, like numerous sharp swords. As the lotus spun, countless sword-shaped petals charged towards the Nebula Phantom.
“Junior Brother Lu, we discovered this Nebula Phantom around the same time, so we can’t decide its ownership just like that.”
“I have a significant interest in the flying sword behind the phantom. If you’re just as interested, we’ll have to rely on our abilities and see who can subdue the flying sword.”
A gloomy, pale-skinned young cultivator slowly came forward. The rotating Sword Aura Lotus slowly flew into his hand.
“So it’s Brother Bai.”
Lu Xuan had some impression of this gloomy young man. His surname was Bai. He was a Foundation Establishment Late-term cultivator. Among the ten people who entered the Sword Hall, his strength was likely in the top three.
“To tell you the truth, Brother Bai, I am indeed somewhat interested in this flying sword. While my skill and swordsmanship are ordinary, I, Lu, still wish to overestimate myself and compete with Brother Bai for this flying sword.”
Dealing with the Nebula Sword Array possessing the Condensing Pill Realm power, Lu Xuan naturally was not going to give up the third flying sword easily. Deep Black Wind and Thunder Sword Aura surged from the Thunder Wind Sword in his hand.
“Good, let us fight for the flying sword, and stop when we hit each other. Let’s not hurt our friendly ties.”
The gloomy young man originally thought Lu Xuan would know better than to compete against his Foundation Establishment Late-term cultivation and his profound Sword Dao knowledge honed over several decades.
Unexpectedly, he had such a lack of foresight and was frivolously aiming to compete with him for the flying sword. The young man scoffed in his heart while maintaining an outward appearance of friendship.
The lotus in his hand bloomed instantly, with countless layers of Sword Aura petals, each holding a tiny lotus seed condensed from Sword Aura, each one containing terrifying power.
Just as he was about to seize the flying sword while dealing with Lu Xuan, the floating Nebula Phantom underwent a startling change.
The spinning nebula shuddered instantly, a beautiful flying sword shot out at lightning speed, flying directly to Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan reacted very quickly and was about to deal with the Nebula Sword. Suddenly, a faint thought came from inside the scabbard, and the Nebula Sword directly entered the scabbard, crowding in with its two companions.
The Nurturing Xuan Scabbard could nourish the flying swords and enhance their quality. It had a significant attraction for the highly spiritual Nebula Sword. Coupled with the kindred aura from the scabbard, the Nebula Sword chose to enter the scabbard when it detected unfavorable circumstances.
“I wonder if Brother Bai has ever heard of a treasure choosing its master? I suppose this must be one such situation.”
Lu Xuan spread his hands and said with a smile.
