Supreme Sword God

Chapter 537: Chapter 536: The Secret of the Sword Pool, Nurturing the Sacred Sword

Since Lin Yan said so, Ye Chen directly replied, ”As everyone knows, I practice Sword Dao and also study Sword Arrays.

At the Cyan Cloud Banquet last time, my set of swords was destroyed, and soon, I will depart for the Celestial Extinction Ancient Tomb, so I need to make some preparations regarding the Sword Array.

I heard there is a set of Dao-grade swords, eighteen in total, within the Celestial Soldier Pavilion, and today, I’ve come precisely for this!”

Lin Yan’s gaze flickered, and he said, ”I’ve heard about how Young Master Ye excels at forming the Seven-Star Sword Array alone; I’m aware of this. The way of the Sword Array is profound and extensive, and your talent, Younger Brother Ye, truly makes one envious!

If those eighteen middle-grade Dao Swords from our Celestial Soldier Pavilion can shine under your hands, it would indeed be a marvel.

Come, let me take you to the sword pool to retrieve the swords!”

Beside him, Grandmaster Mu Yi said in an eerie tone, ”I’ve heard about the sword pool of the Celestial Soldier Pavilion countless times but never had the chance to see it myself...”

Lin Yan smiled and said, ”Brother Mu, if you’re interested, join us to the sword pool.”

Mu Yi immediately laughed heartily and said, ”It seems today, I’m indebted to Young Master Ye’s courtesy!”

A moment later.

The three entered next to the sword pool of the Celestial Soldier Pavilion.

Ye Chen had been here once, so he appeared calm.

As the top Artifact Refiner of Cangzhou, Mu Yi, upon seeing the sword pool, couldn’t help but show a hint of shock on his face. He could sense that there seemed to be some arrangement within the sword pool, but he couldn’t make a precise judgment.

”Younger Brother Ye, come with me.”

Lin Yan said as he waved his hand, opening the array of the sword pool, and with a flash, he entered the interior of the sword pool.

Ye Chen followed closely.

Mu Yi also came in.

With a thought from Lin Yan, a crisp sword humming sound rang out.

Swords inserted in the ground suddenly shot into the air, floating!

A total of eighteen, all of them middle-grade Dao Swords.

The appearance of each sword was slightly different, but the sharpness contained in their sword light was identical.

Ye Chen stepped forward, his powerful Spiritual Power and sword energy surged out, covering all eighteen middle-grade Dao Swords at once, causing their sharpness to become even more intense!

The Sword Spirits of the Dao Swords suddenly showed fierce resistance, and just as the eighteen swords were about to break free from Ye Chen’s control, an extremely unique aura burst forth from Ye Chen!

The power of the Sword Control Celestial Scripture exploded.

This powerful legacy has a miraculous effect on Sword Spirits!

Under the control of the power of the Sword Control Celestial Scripture, the Sword Spirits of all eighteen middle-grade Dao Swords calmed down.

Immediately, Ye Chen secretly engaged the power of the Soldier Character Secret, making the Sword Spirits of these eighteen swords instantly acknowledge him.

”Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh...”

The eighteen middle-grade Dao Swords shot to Ye Chen’s side, swirling around his body, the dazzling sword light exuding an imposing and majestic aura!

Lin Yan and Mu Yi, these two top Artifact Refiners of Cangzhou, were dumbfounded!

In the blink of an eye, Ye Chen had subdued the Sword Spirits of these middle-grade Dao Swords...

These were eighteen middle-grade Dao Swords!

Unbelievable!

Without seeing it themselves, who would believe it if someone told them!

Gazing at the eighteen middle-grade Dao Swords dancing around him, Ye Chen’s lips curled into a smile.

Now it’s settled; with the Seven-Star Sword Array in hand, there is no worry about swords when obtaining the sword array legacy from the fifth level of the Sword Tomb in the future.

With a thought from Ye Chen, all the swords whizzed into his Storage Ring.

Snapping back to his senses, Lin Yan said in a tone filled with endless admiration, ”Younger Brother Ye’s methods are truly divine; today has certainly been an eye-opener for me!”

Ye Chen modestly said, ”It’s just a trivial trick, no need to laugh.”

Mu Yi said, ”Young Master Ye, if what you just did is a mere trivial trick, then no one in Cangzhou can match such mastery.”

Ye Chen looked at Lin Yan, a look of contemplation on his face, and then said, ”Brother Lin, there’s something I’m not sure if I should say.”

Lin Yan said, ”Younger Brother Ye, feel free to speak, without any hesitation.”

Ye Chen nodded and said, ”Brother Lin, could it be that the sword pool of the Celestial Soldier Pavilion is aiming to create a Sacred Sword by nourishing it?”

These things, Luo Qingyi told me, so it’s certainly accurate.

Moreover, Luo Qingyi also told Ye Chen how altering the arrangement of the sword pool could foster the creation of a Sacred Sword!

Last time, I took the Jinghong Sword from the Celestial Soldier Pavilion, and this time again, I took an entire set of eighteen middle-grade Dao Swords, and Ye Chen is not one to take without giving, so he uses this matter as a token of gratitude.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yan looked surprised.

While Mu Yi was suddenly enlightened, he always felt there was some secret regarding the Celestial Soldier Pavilion’s sword pool, but he couldn’t decipher it until Ye Chen mentioned it!

”Younger Brother Ye... do you also have insight into sword nourishment?” a shocked Lin Yan asked.

The secret technique of sword nourishment is a special legacy obtained by the Celestial Soldier Pavilion in its early years, and few know of it within.

”Slightly,” Ye Chen replied, ”I feel that the sword nourishment technique of the Celestial Soldier Pavilion seems to be in some sort of a dead end...”

Mu Yi widened his eyes looking at Ye Chen.

Could it be that Ye Chen can not only see it but also solve the problem?

Of course, Mu Yi wasn’t sure if there was a problem either.

The astonishment on Lin Yan’s face transformed into excitement, and he exclaimed, ”Younger Brother Ye, please, show me!”

As he spoke, Lin Yan’s hands rapidly formed seals, emitting a brilliant glow from his imprint.

Within the sword pool, all the swords vibrated, the sound of sword humming roaring like ocean waves.

Suddenly.

The ground in the middle of the sword pool split open, and a stone platform rose, and on the platform was a sword!

The sharp sword was unsheathed, light flowing ceaselessly across its body. As the sword appeared, all the trembling swords within the pool instantly quieted down.

Like the arrival of a king, silence reigned!

”Half-Saint Weapon!”

Mu Yi exclaimed in astonishment.

Lin Yan nodded and said, ”The material of this sword was selected with the requirements of a Sacred Weapon, but regrettably, my artifact refining skills are inadequate, unable to forge it into a Sacred Weapon, only creating an exquisite Dao Sword similar to the Jinghong Sword.

I’ve placed this sword in the sword pool for a century to nourish it, merely enhancing it to a Half-Saint weapon. I can feel that there’s no hope for this sword to become a true Sacred Weapon!”

Saying this, Lin Yan’s tone carried a hint of melancholy.

For them, the Artifact Refiners, producing a Sacred Weapon in their hands is the greatest honor and the best testament to their life’s work, yet Lin Yan could not achieve this despite exhausting his efforts.

Ye Chen also examined that sword.

Surely hidden deep enough. Last time when I took the Jinghong Sword, I used the Martial Arts Celestial Eye to check, and triggered the sword pool’s fluctuations with the Soldier Character Secret, yet failed to discover this hidden Half-Saint weapon!

”Younger Brother Ye, you said there’s a problem with the sword pool, exactly what is it?” Lin Yan’s previously downcast expression turned into one of hopeful anticipation!

Ye Chen said, ”In the sword pool, nourishing one sword with ten thousand swords, does not create a cycle.

True sword nourishment is using the sharpness of ten thousand swords to nurture one sword, while one sword’s sharpness also nurtures ten thousand swords!”
