I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 688: Chapter 417: Bai Guang’s Reincarnation_2

Chen Mobai saw that once the sword qi penetrated the White Stone, it quickly tainted and transformed, retaining all the characteristics of its sword qi.

With the infusion of the third Qing Shuang sword qi, he could see the sword qi embodying three layers of power, changing as fluidly as the vast emerald sky, from persistent rain to the final snowfall.

“So, that’s how it works. Evolving multiple changes within a single sword Qi, incorporating all the changes. This indeed tests one’s control over the sword Qi.”

After watching Pei Qingshuang’s demonstration, Chen Mobai understood the trick of infusing multiple kinds of sword Qis into the White Stone.

“The Resonance System of the Purple Electric Sword is made by our Dance Tool Dao Academy. The variation of sword Qi in the White Stone ranges from one to ten, and occupies nearly half of the degree of Resonance. Adding the supplementary conditions like Thunder method, Spiritual Root, Sword Dao Realm, it forms 0 to 100% of the degree of Resonance.”

“Our Dance Tool Dao Academy’s very own Ruan Zixiu, who practices the Ten Thousand Rivers Sword Canon, can infuse five types of sword Qi into the White Stone. A couple of days ago, he tested his resonance degree with the Purple Electric Sword at the Sword Tower, which came out to be 32%.”

...
“Another one, Huo Xiqing from the Five Thunder Daoist Academy, though he can only infuse three sword Qi into the White Stone, has a perfect match with the rest of the supplementary conditions due to his practice in Purple Thunder Dharma, resulting in a high Degree of Resonance of 39%.”

After hearing Pei Qingshuang’s words, Chen Mobai finally understood why Hao Cao said that in order to obtain the Purple Electric Sword, Chen Mobai must infuse at least five sword Qi into the White Stone.

Otherwise, they would have no chance of surpassing these two Gold Core experts in the final round.

“What about Yan Qiongzhi?”

Chen Mobai thought of this new Gold Core expert, who was on par with Lan Haitian but always kept a low profile, and was devoted to cultivating at the Nature Studies Academy.

“The resonance degree is 16%, which is average.”

Pei Qingshuang did not hide anything and told him everything she knew.

“It seems that the Nature Studies Academy has given up on the Purple Electric Sword.”

Hearing this, Chen Mobai was slightly puzzled. Since they had given up, why did they switch to another person at the last moment?

“Who told you they gave up? The Resonance System is just a data analysis model made by us at the Dance Tool Dao Academy. The final decision is always up to the Purple Electric Sword itself. Sister Yan is guided by a sage of Yunhai, and if she is willing to pay some price, she has a good chance of becoming the final winner.”

Pei Qingshuang shook her head, saying something that surprised Chen Mobai.

“If the Resonance System cannot decide the final master of the sword, then why should I waste my time testing on this White Stone?”

“In theory, the person with the highest degree of Resonance is the most compatible with the Purple Electric Sword. In our Dance Tool Dao Academy, we always strive to find the most suitable sword-bearer.”

Pei Qingshuang gave a very plausible reason.

Yet Chen Mobai sensed the underlying meaning of her words from this statement.

“What kind of conditions can prompt the Purple Electric Sword to ignore the degree of Resonance and make a direct selection?”

“You should ask Sister Yan.”

Not sure whether she didn’t know or couldn’t tell, Pei Qingshuang didn’t answer Chen Mobai’s question directly, but reminded him who he should ask.

In a short while, the two arrived at Yan Qiongzhi’s residence.

She was on the same thousand-foot Stone Sword as Chen Mobai, just on the other side due to the difference in gender.

“Congratulations on the Core Formation, Master Yan.”

The Daoist Academy had numerous rituals for newly formed cores. Chen Mobai chose the ancient ceremony of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, and Yan Qiongzhi responded with a polite salute.

“With your talents, you will undoubtedly join our ranks soon.”

Despite forming her core, Yan Qiongzhi remained gentle and composed. After inviting Chen Mobai and Pei Qingshuang to sit, she waved her hand and summoned a teapot from the void.

Is this the Gold Core Domain?

Seeing her actions, Chen Mobai watched with interest. Compared to fetching things from a storage sack, it was indeed much more convenient.

Furthermore, if what she took out was a Magic Artifact, he would be unable to defend against it.

As Chen Mobai was distracted by his thoughts, Yan Qiongzhi had already conjured a drop of water, forming a pleasant-smelling tea which landed in front of them.

“I wonder if I can master this Gold Core Domain?”

Chen Mobai, who wanted to ask about the Purple Electric Sword, saw the Gold Core Domain and thought it was a good segue. So, he started by asking about it.

“I reckon it’s tough; I didn’t even manage to complete the training.”

Pei Qingshuang, sitting nearby, was the first to respond. She had already reached the Perfection stage of the Ninth Level of Foundation Establishment. She didn’t need to queue to use the Realm Portal during her application. Tao Hua personally escorted her on the journey.

Despite this, Pei Qingshuang couldn’t successfully open the Gold Core Domain during Foundation Establishment.

“I just got lucky. If I tried again, I might not succeed.”

Yan Qiongzhi said this with great modesty, yet she went on to share her experience in opening the Gold Core Domain.

“Feeling the Power of Void is the entrance step. If you can’t even do this, having exclusive use of the Realm Portal for a year will still be of no use.”

“After the Realm Portal shatters the True Void, the Domain is formed. You need to use your powerful Divine Sense to absorb the Power of Void you felt and open a weak domain. This step depends on the intensity of your Divine Sense.”

“I was fortunate enough to grasp the Rank-3 Freeze Power, which helped me in this step.”

After listening to Yan Qiongzhi’s teachings, Chen Mobai respectfully stood up to thank her. However, she just gave a graceful smile, signalling him to sit down.

“The actual steps for Gold Core Domain are feeling, gathering, and opening. It’s simple yet complex, the key is whether you can achieve it.”

Pei Qingshuang, who was sitting nearby, nodded in agreement, having had a similar experience. She failed at the step of absorbing enough Power of Void.

It was the first time she felt powerless.

She just couldn’t do it.

“Thank you for your guidance, Yan. Actually, today, I wanted to ask you about the Purple Electric Sword.”

After thanking her again, Chen Mobai mentioned the actual purpose of his visit.

The selection of the master for the Purple Electric Sword was initiated by Cheng Xuan from Dance Tool Dao Academy and Yun Hai from Nature Studies Academy. Therefore, nominally, they were collaborators.

“As I just achieved Core Formation, I don’t have a Magic Artifact. My senior, Yu Shiling, gave me this opportunity. But my Xuan Bing Jue doesn’t pair well with the Purple Electric Sword. In fact, I just wanted to bring back the Purple Electric Sword for worship.”

“Oh? What do you mean? How can you bring back the Purple Electric Sword?”

Chen Mobai asked for guidance again, but Yan Qiongzhi’s gaze turned to Pei Qingshuang drinking tea on the side, and she asked a different question.

“The twelve sudden Sword Cultivation Geniuses, they were part of the Mesmerizing Formation, weren’t they?”

“Oh, did Yun Hai tell you?”

As expected, Pei Qingshuang knew the truth. When she heard Yan Qiongzhi’s question, she put down her teacup with slight surprise.

“The Principal only told me not to insist.”

“I see…”

Upon hearing this, Pei Qingshuang mused.

She then signaled the two to come closer and quietly started explaining the reality.

“During the initial screening, someone injected fourteen Sword Qi into a White Stone sent in. This scared the teachers in charge of screening at our Mountain Sea Academy. You should know, even Teacher Hao Cao only has nine Sword Qi.”

“After that, Teacher Hao Cao took the White Stone to meet the Hall Master. Cheng Xuan, Yun Hai, and my mother Tao Hua were also invited.”

“When Teacher Hao Cao returned, he personally reviewed all the White Stones that had been sent. He selected twelve White Stones to cover up the prodigy with the fourteen Sword Qi.”

After listening to this, both of them stared at each other in astonishment.

“Fourteen Sword Qi!? What kind of monster is that?”

Chen Mobai gasped in shock.

“Monster? Watch your language; that’s the reincarnation of the Elder Bai Guang.”

Pei Qingshuang shot him a look and revealed the truth.
