Soul Emperor Martial God

Chapter 1471: Chapter 1471: Illegitimate Child?

”Why are you asking this?” Elder Yun Yuan looked at Xiao Yi with curiosity.

Xiao Yi remained silent, frowning in contemplation.

Only now did he understand the difference between the Qi Sect and the Artifact Sect.

The Qi Sect cultivates sword power by practicing primordial power within.

Naturally, sword power can be integrated into primordial power.

In essence, when a martial artist uses martial techniques or sword skills, it requires the consumption of primordial power; hence sword power can also be integrated into martial techniques and sword skills.

Additionally, this is also true for secret techniques.

As for the Artifact Sect, they cultivate sword power using the body, either through limbs or internal organs, and so on.

Therefore, sword power can be integrated into the body, limbs, and all around.

Of course, the Artifact Sect is named for its ’artifacts,’ so naturally, sword power can also be integrated into the sword in one’s hand.

Qi sword power and artifact sword power are completely different.

One can integrate into primordial power and sword skills.

The other can integrate into the body and the sword in hand.

In terms of basic strength alone, a swordman who cultivates Qi sword power, under the eruption of primordial power, is about the same as a swordman who cultivates artifact sword power, with sword power integrated into the body.

Therefore, the only discrepancy lies in the difference in quality between sword skills and the sword itself.

In the end, the dispute between the Qi Sect and the Artifact Sect might be whether sword skills provide a stronger enhancement to a swordman, or if a sword provides a stronger enhancement to a swordman.

Both kinds of sword power are at the same level, but their effects are completely different.

However, there is a third special sword power, which is soul sword power.

Whether integrated into the sword, sword skills, primordial power, or the body, it can enhance.

”Soul sword power?” Xiao Yi frowned, ”Sword Emperor?”

To speak of it, he had only been in the Sword Domain for a few days, counting the three days he had practiced sword power, he had truly walked the Sword Domain for only one or two days.

Even though he had carefully investigated the general situation here at the Wind Shattering Hall.

But to say he knew everything was impossible.

”Sword Emperor is?” Xiao Yi looked at Elder Yun Yuan with confusion.

Elder Yun Yuan smiled, ”Naturally, the most dazzling and strongest swordman in the history of the Flame Dragon Continent.”

”You’ll understand when the grand event begins.”

Xiao Yi nodded and continued to ask, ”Why is sword power so special?”

”I’ve sensed before, that sword power’s martial arts meaning is not normal within the Heaven and Earth Martial Arts.”

Elder Yun Yuan was a peak sword cultivator and had visited the Sword Domain before to participate in the grand events of the Sword Domain.

Naturally, he knew more about these things or so-called secrets.

Xiao Yi naturally continued his questioning.

”Sensed?” Unexpectedly, Elder Yun Yuan frowned, ”Kid, can you sense sword power within the Sword Domain?”

”As far as I know, before a swordman masters sword power, they cannot sense the meaning of sword power within the Sword Domain...”

Hui Deacon timely chuckled, interrupting, ”Yun Yuan, since he is interested, just resolve his doubts.”

Elder Yun Yuan nodded, ”Indeed, as you sensed, sword power is unusual.”

”It is a power within the rules of Heaven and Earth Martial Arts but does not fill the rules of Heaven and Earth Martial Arts.”

”In other words, it is an independent power.”

The power that fills the rules of Heaven and Earth Martial Arts is like primordial power, soul power, physical strength, formation power, and so on.

These powers form systems of their own and constitute various professions on the Flame Dragon Continent.

But sword power is a force that exists only within the Sword Domain.

Elder Yun Yuan continued, ”Because it is an independent power, it can be integrated into primordial power, physical strength, or external objects.”

”Have you ever seen primordial power and physical strength fuse? Or primordial power and soul power integrate?”

”No.” Xiao Yi shook his head, ”Primordial power, physical strength, and soul power aren’t even the same system, how could they integrate? Stacking is possible, though.”

This is relatively easy to understand.

Xiao Yi himself practiced in multiple professions.

When he uses physical strength, he cannot integrate primordial power into physical strength or formation power into physical strength.

At most, he could lay down a great formation to enhance power, or he could use secret techniques while leveraging the explosive force of physical strength; this is simply stacking.

Of course, this stacking has provided him with many methods, making his combat power formidable.

But now this unique force, soul sword power, can integrate various powers.

This was the reason Xiao Yi was astonished at the strength of sword power a few days ago, which made him spend three days specifically to cultivate sword power.

”What about the Sword Emperor Bloodline?” Xiao Yi inquired.

”Of course, it is a bloodline,” Elder Yun Yuan, who seemed to dislike talking, showed signs of impatience.

”The Lin Family members are swordmen with this bloodline.”

”But, you keep asking without answering my question, why are you asking about soul sword power?”

”Uh.” Xiao Yi awkwardly touched his nose.

The so-called Lin Family members are naturally the family of the City Lord of Ten Thousand Sword City, the foremost family within the Sword Domain.

”Hiss...”

A faint white light gathered in Xiao Yi’s hand.

The light was subtle and not attention-grabbing, and it only flashed momentarily, witnessed only by Elder Yun Yuan and Hui Deacon.

”Sword power?” Elder Yun Yuan’s expression shifted in shock, clearly seeing that the white light not only appeared on Xiao Yi’s body but also emerged alongside a thread of primordial power.

Sword power that appears simultaneously in the body and primordial power can only be soul sword power.

”Soul sword power?” Elder Yun Yuan lowered his voice.

”Don’t tell me, you’re the illegitimate child of the Lin Family Patriarch.”

Xiao Yi pouted, rolling his eyes.

Next to him, Hui Deacon quipped, ”If this lad were truly the illegitimate child of the Lin Family Patriarch, could he really have been bullied like this over the years?”

What Hui Deacon said was true; if he truly belonged to the foremost family in the Sword Domain, the Lin Family, who in the Central Region would dare to regard him lightly?

”Then how did you cultivate this soul sword power?” Elder Yun Yuan glanced around, ensuring no one was paying attention, then asked.

”Who knows, I was just practicing, and it happened.” Xiao Yi shrugged.

”Just practicing, after all these years of practice, I haven’t seen it happen to me; you’re just telling tall tales.” Elder Yun Yuan glared at Xiao Yi.

”If you don’t believe me, there’s nothing I can do,” Xiao Yi spread his hands.

Concerning soul sword power, Xiao Yi didn’t plan to hide it from these two seniors.

However, why the soul sword power could be cultivated, Xiao Yi couldn’t say, so he could only come up with nonsense.

Meanwhile, in the Martial Arts Arena, the match between Ding Qiuyue and the Qi Sect disciple was gradually reaching a conclusion.

”What are they fighting over?” Xiao Yi asked.

”If it’s just a pure contest, it seems meaningless.”

Elder Yun Yuan glanced at the Martial Arts Arena and said, ”The branches of the Qi Sect and the Artifact Sect have been battling for countless years.”

”First, it’s about the strength of the younger generation.”

”Secondly, you should know that without benefits, how could the two major forces keep fighting endlessly?”

”What kind of benefits?” Xiao Yi asked.

”I’m not going to tell you.” Elder Yun Yuan chuckled, standing with hands clasped behind his back.

Hearing this, Xiao Yi pouted and did not pursue further.
