The Thunder God Novel - Chapter 721
Chapter 721 Sword Seal Like a Star Beast (1)
The first step of the sword imprint was the structure. After completing this step, it was only a basic frame. Then, it was filled with flesh and blood. Of course, there was no flesh and blood here that could be filled. Instead, it was filled with muscles and veins. It was covered with a layer of skin. This layer of skin was also the skin of the Golden Star Beast. However, Lei Xingfeng had to refine this layer of skin.
According to Lei Xingfeng’s tests, the skin of the Golden Star Beast was simply extremely tough. It was used to wrap around the bones, and it had the effect of combining strength and softness. If Restriction’s effects were added, this effect would be enhanced to the extreme.
On the way, Lei Xingfeng had already seized the time to refine the Star Beast’s skin. However, it was still not enough. He needed to refine it thoroughly once. This time, the refinement was the key, and the time was relatively longer. He also needed to refine the Star Beast’s skin together with the skeleton. After all, the two had to be combined together.
Lei Xingfeng put the Golden Star Beast’s skin back on his bones before he began to refine it.
As thunder and lightning descended, the entire skin of the Star Beast began to shrink and wrap itself around its bones. As time passed, the two slowly merged together.
Xing Feng couldn’t help but laugh as he watched. This skin was stretched on the skeleton. Without the support of flesh and blood, the originally plump Golden Star Beast looked like a hungry skin and bones. It looked extremely awkward.
Lei Xingfeng didn’t care. This was only the second step. The reason why he put on the skin was because this layer of skin could bring about an extremely strong defense, making the body of the sword imprint even stronger. This was a very simple principle. A wooden hammer and an iron hammer were fundamentally different.
After spending about three days, the skin of the Star Beast was completely attached to its bones. It was a vivid Golden Star Beast. However, there was something wrong with its appearance. This Star Beast looked like it was starving. It had no flesh under its skin and was filled with bones.
Lei Xingfeng once again put the sword imprint into Lei Yin and continued to feed it with Lei Yin.
Xing Feng said, “What kind of sword imprint is this? This isn’t the same as reviving a Golden Star Beast. Even if it’s slightly stronger than a Golden Star Beast, it doesn’t seem to be much.”
Lei Xingfeng shook his head and said, “It’s still early. This is only basic refining. There are still many ideas to follow. Let’s try them out slowly.”
Actually, Xing Feng knew that even with such a sword mark, his strength was not bad. At the very least, there was no problem for Lei Xingfeng to double his strength. One had to know that even if he had the strength of a Golden Star Beast, the strength he would bring to Lei Xingfeng would not be trivial. A Star Beast’s strength still had room for manoeuvre against an Intermediate Monarch Realm expert.
Xing Feng said, “What kind of sword imprint do you want in the end?”
Lei Xingfeng shook his head and said, “Actually, I don’t know. I just want to keep strengthening until I can’t find a way to strengthen the sword imprint.”
Xing Feng said, “What is the potential of your sword imprint?”
Lei Xingfeng said, “I’m not sure how much potential there is, but doubling the power of the sword imprint is not a problem. I can only test it step by step.”
Xing Feng couldn’t help but smack his tongue. The power of the Star Beast doubled. This sword mark was a bit interesting. One had to know that the sword mark was different from his true body. If his true body collapsed, it would implicate the seal. However, if the sword mark collapsed, it wouldn’t damage the seal. The seal was the foundation of a cultivator. It didn’t hurt the foundation.
Actually, there was something wrong with what Lei Xingfeng said. Not only did he say it conservatively, he also purposely reduced the potential power of the sword imprint. The sword imprint was not only his own power, but also the Restriction power that he had added to it. Combining this power with the sword imprint itself, even Lei Xingfeng himself could not estimate how powerful it was. Only after experimenting would he be able to figure it out.
Xing Feng pondered for a moment. Because his strength was too strong, twice the strength of the Star Beast was not enough for him to make up his mind to refine the Sword Seal. However, it was definitely tempting. Using his true body would require a large amount of energy, and the consumption of the Sword Seal would be much less. This was the reason why he was tempted. As for not being able to make up his mind, it was because even if he were to double the strength of the Star Beast, he still felt weak.
Lei Xingfeng didn’t say much. He couldn’t say anything either. This was because he didn’t know the true power of the sword imprint. Before he tried it, everything was fake.
He couldn’t refine the sword imprint for the time being. After the entire sword imprint was stored in Lei Yin, he needed to give Lei Yin a period of time to slowly digest the changes brought about by the sword imprint.
Of course, a large amount of energy replenishment was necessary. By now, less than half of the energy blocks in Lunzang Space had been used up. A third of the energy blocks were spent on refining the sword imprint. If it wasn’t successful, Lei Xingfeng would have suffered a huge loss. One had to know that the energy blocks he had obtained back then were a large amount of wealth.
Xing Feng said, “When can I use the sword imprint?”
Lei Xingfeng said, “This is the most basic version of the sword imprint. Once the sword imprint is fully adapted to Lei Yin, you can test its power.”
“Very good,” Xing Feng said. “I will personally test it.” What he meant was that he would be the target for Lei Xingfeng to use the sword imprint to attack. This way, both sides would have a direct understanding of the sword imprint and a clearer understanding of the power of the sword imprint.
Lei Xingfeng said, “Of course it’s better to have senior’s help.” These words were not sincere. He did not want to expose the strength of the Sword Seal to Xing Feng. However, he simply could not refuse, nor could he refuse. The smart thing to do was to agree immediately. Fortunately, Xing Feng did not see through Lei Xingfeng’s reluctance.
Xing Feng nodded in satisfaction and said, “Very good, let’s continue on our journey.”
… … … …
A year later, Xing Feng and Lei Xingfeng had already run more than half the way. During this year, apart from traveling, Lei Xingfeng had been concentrating on refining his own sword imprint. Along the way, with his pair of eyes, he had dug out quite a few good things, and for this reason, Xing Feng had also taken advantage of them.
One of them discovered a huge vein of energy, The two of them delayed for more than 30 days until the energy chunks they refined could no longer hold Lunzang Space before leaving the continent. However, both Xing Feng and Lei Xingfeng kept the coordinates of the continent seriously, because there were quite a few energy veins in the continent. If it weren’t for the rush of time, the two of them wouldn’t be willing to let go.
Let go still had to let go. Lunzang Space was full, so there was really no place to store energy blocks.
After crossing the continent for a long time, Xing Feng was also very tired. About half a year later, Lei Xingfeng also tried to use its own Mystery Sect to bring Xing Feng across the continent.
The use of Mystery Sect is skillful, It also required a lot of energy. Because Lei Xingfeng had always relied on the Jingzhi Realm in the past, he was not proficient in using Mystery Sect. However, under Xing Feng’s guidance, he gradually learned how to use Mystery Sect and various techniques of using Mystery Sect, including searching for the continent, locating the continent, and various methods, which greatly benefited Lei Xingfeng.
Right now, it was basically Xing Feng who brought Lei Xingfeng to a few continents, and then Lei Xingfeng brought Xing Feng to a few continents. Because some of the continents were far apart, some were relatively close. The truly distant continents were all led by Xing Feng, and the ones closest to them were all Lei Xingfeng’s missions.
The two of them crossed over to open the Mystery Sect. This increased their speed. If Xing Feng was traveling alone, his speed would be much slower. No matter how strong a cultivator was, traveling for a long distance would still be difficult. Not only would it consume endurance, it would also consume spirit. If the two of them opened the Mystery Sect, this problem would be avoided.
Lei Xingfeng could be considered to have opened his eyes wide. There were countless strange continents along the way. He had even seen pure water continents and continents filled with magma. As for the continent filled with rainstorms and lightning, he had also seen one. He had even taken the opportunity to cultivate for ten days. After all, natural lightning was very rare, so it would be good to be able to use it.
During this period of time, the refinement of the sword imprint had also come to an end. All kinds of Restriction had been used up, and all kinds of materials had been consumed in great quantities. Moreover, countless energy blocks had been consumed. If he hadn’t found an energy mine halfway through, he wouldn’t have had the confidence to complete it. This thing was no worse than Lei Yin when it came to energy consumption.
The last time he used the Lei Yin Sword Raising Seal, Lei Xingfeng spent about 20 days. During this period of time, apart from sending energy blocks into Lei Yin, there was nothing else he could do. He waited for about 20 days like this. After arriving at a continent, the time was almost up.
Xing Feng had also been paying attention to Lei Xingfeng’s sword imprint. He had discussed with Lei Xingfeng many times. He had also put forward some ideas. Lei Xingfeng wanted to test them out. Although he didn’t have any concept of refining sword imprints, the old man was still a super expert. He had a better understanding of things than Lei Xingfeng. Especially in terms of cultivation, he was extremely knowledgeable. A single sentence would often open Lei Xingfeng’s mind.
Lei Xingfeng was very willing to communicate with Xing Feng now. Senior’s words weren’t for nothing. This fellow was indeed worthy of being called Senior.
Xing Feng said, “How is it? The Sword Seal is almost healed.”
With the Lei Yin Nurturing Sword Seal, These were Lei Xingfeng’s words, Therefore, Xing Feng also said, Besides, with the word’nurture ‘, Indeed, it was very appropriate. Lei Yin and the sword imprint were intertwined. Not only could the sword imprint increase its power, Lei Yin could also increase it. This was because they interacted with each other. To Lei Xingfeng, this formation mechanism was truly miraculous. There seemed to be some sort of rule in this world. Once it matched, Lei Xingfeng didn’t even need to care about it. The power of Lei Yin and the sword imprint would increase by leaps and bounds.
This time, he had raised it for about twenty days. Based on Lei Xingfeng’s experience, once he released the sword imprint, the shape would not be the same as before. There would definitely be a change.
Lei Xingfeng nodded and said, “It’s almost done. I think it would be best to keep it for a few more days, but I can take it out now.”
Xing Feng said, “Hurry up! Hurry up and take it out. I’m really curious about what will happen this time!”
Ever since he knew that the shape of Lei Yin’s Sword Raising Seal was different every time he came out, Xing Feng was filled with curiosity. Of course, Lei Xingfeng was the same. He himself had to wait for the sword print to come out before he knew what the sword print looked like. He was similarly curious in his heart.
