Tome of Troubled Times Chapter 643: Sword of the Night Emperor
Chapter 643 Sword of the Night Emperor
Actually, Sanniang's stomach is a little sore.
It can be seen from Zhao Changhe's attitude that he may be interested in the casting of the Night Emperor's Sword itself. That is a warrior's interest in how to forge a divine sword. But he has no interest in inheriting the cause and effect of the Night Emperor, becoming the Night Emperor, or gaining belief in the Four Symbols Sect, and is even quite hesitant.
Sanniang's current level of cultivation can understand Zhao Changhe's avoidance, inherit the cause and effect, and have to pay it back in the future. This is a thunder heavier than the Sword Emperor under the Tang family.
What is not Ye Di but can go further than Ye Di? If you are full, you can support yourself. Since you avoid taboos, the normal choice is that you don’t need to touch it at all... If you like swords, just make them for yourself and use them. It’s just an item. , this cause and effect is much smaller.
But he still chose to touch it, preferring to use this awkward way to increase the difficulty to avoid risks, rather than force it. There is no other reason, just for Suzaku.
Either you have to join the religion yourself to believe in the teachings of the Four Symbols, or you have to make yourself a benefit of the Four Symbols religion, in order to completely eliminate the possible separation and conflict between the two parties. It was impossible for Zhao Changhe to choose the former, so he chose the most difficult latter.
He likes Suzaku so much.
Sure enough, fierce women are more desirable, right?
Sanniang sniffed and said sourly: "You can reforge the dragon bird yourself, what else do you need from me?"
Zhao Changhe said: "When controlling the fire... I need to devote myself to the sword and the stars, and I have no energy left to control the fire."
Okay...
Sanniang looked at the sword blank he took out, feeling a little excited in her heart.
No matter how sad she is, she belongs to the Xuanwu of the Four Symbols Cult, and it is impossible not to be excited about such a big event as casting the Sword of the Night Emperor.
On the other hand, this is also her cause and effect. In ancient times, Xuanwu assisted Ye Emperor in forging swords. Although no one knows why Xuanwu, which represents the element of water, was used to assist in the casting process, to this day, this is still Xuanwu. Forging swords with the Night Emperor... there is a continuation in the dark.
Sanniang took out two crystal nuclei and threw them aside. Two foolish water men appeared and knelt down to Sanniang: "My God..."
Zhao Changhe was stunned: "When did you learn this trick?"
"I am the King of the Sea now, do you want to shoot me?"
"...another day."
"? Alliance model? I will work hard next time, and I will only give nine points to Suzaku. Why should I take risks after spending so much effort on her? Don't I like it?"
"..."
Sanniang hummed, and even though she was scolding her, she still directed the two water men to blow up the wind.
The dragon bird can be melted by conventional fire here, but it is obviously not strong enough to melt the Night Emperor sword blank and needs to be strengthened. With Sanniang under control, Zhao Changhe could finally focus all his attention on the sword itself.
He took a deep breath and put the sword blank into the furnace.
This is an extremely complete sword blank that is only short of the last step of the finished sword. Except for the fact that it has no sharp edge, it can be used directly as a finished product most of the time. Zhao Changhe once shot it out, making it The dead giant octopus possessed by the Yin Qi of the Sea Emperor.
The reason why we didn’t start the finished product directly was because the most critical item, Night Quicksand, was missing.
In the last period of their lives, both Ye Di and Xuanwu probably came to the same realization as Xia Longyuan who came to this world. They needed a flowing night to represent the sky, which is not static. The only item that can meet the attributes of "night", "flow" and "not here, not on the other side" and has enough level and energy is Night Quicksand.
Then the top experts from the two eras unanimously used this object to build their own canopy. This meant that the Night Emperor had finally taken that crucial step of enlightenment, but the era suddenly collapsed and it was no longer possible.
Zhao Changhe looked at the sword blank that was gradually reddening and softening, and suddenly wondered, could the collapse of the era have something to do with Ye Di's breakthrough? Just like the NPCs in the game world evolved into GMs, and the world collapsed? In other words, it caused the backlash of the original Tiandao, thinking that this world was no longer possible, and everyone rebelled...
It is possible, but the order is questionable.
I don’t have the time to think about this at the moment. Zhao Changhe stared closely at the degree of softening of the sword, and suddenly reached out to grab a handful of night sand, covering it accurately and evenly on the sword. Watching the process of the night sand being absorbed by the sword body, his spirit suddenly penetrated the burning sword.
Different from the dragon bird, the dragon bird already has a spirit and does not need his spirit to reach in and guide it into a spirit. This crucial step of the Night Emperor Sword blank must be guided by oneself. Based on the already formed blank, it can only accept the preset meaning of the stars in the sky. Others are incompatible. Not only will it fail to be cast, but it will also be rejected. Therefore, it has always been said that the most critical thing in building this sword is to adapt to the sword's intention, not just the lack of items.
After the spirit penetrated, the sky inside could be felt like a burning cloud, with flames everywhere and extremely hot. Even Zhao Changhe's spirit was a little overwhelmed. Almost all his strength was used to fight against the scorching heat inside, and nothing could be done.
Sanniang next to her glanced at Zhao Changhe, who was dripping with sweat, and suddenly reached out and touched his forehead.
A coolness spread across the spiritual platform, and the blazing heat inside the sword body seemed to be relieved. A moist soft wind blew through the sky, and the fire clouds became much gentler.
Is this why Xuanwu assistance is necessary?
As the night quicksand gradually penetrated, the sky began to change from red to dim, getting darker and darker, and gradually turned into a vast night.
There are no stars in the night, only pure black like brocade, flowing gently.
But there are actually stars. The foundation of the sword is here. All the stars are hidden in it. You need to find and light them up one by one. If you can't even do this, you are not qualified to forge this sword.
Zhao Changhe hung under the sky and stood silently for a moment, then suddenly pointed his swords towards the sky.
This is a sword. The so-called meaning of the stars is integrated with the meaning of the sword. Various pits are buried here and they need to be fully consistent.
What may not be consistent is their respective understanding of the stars... If it is the Night Emperor, the sword must point to the four phenomena; if it is Xia Longyuan, it must point to the sun and the moon. To modern people's cognition, What the heck are the four elephants...
And Zhao Changhe's sword pierced through the air, and it pointed at something extremely random, neither the sun, the moon, nor the four images. A tiny star that people in this world have no concept of suddenly appears in the night sky, blinking in and out of sight.
Xuanwu said, "The stars beyond the four images are not in the sky"? Zhao Changhe once told Sanniang Chi that he should look at the stars outside the four-image frame.
This is the path that Emperor Ye finally wants to take. This simple point is to go further than Emperor Ye back then.
But it doesn’t mean that you just randomly point at the stars in the sky. You have to have a basic logic, why you clicked this first, and what happens next, to form a system. This is a concept that Zhao Changhe had not formed earlier, and he always thought that he was far behind. This is not something you can just apply a system like the twelve constellations, it has to be your own sword intention.
After thinking for so long, Zhao Changhe had a draft.
After the first star lit up, the sword energy suddenly went wild, and thousands of swords shot straight into the sky.
Thousands of sword energy flowed past, and a Milky Way appeared in the sky. It turned out that the first star pointed out before was just a grain of sand among the countless stars in the Milky Way.
When there are no other stars but the Milky Way, it really looks like the Milky Way is hanging upside down. Its momentum is extraordinary, as if it were falling from the sky. The violent and surging Dharma image surged up behind him. There was a Milky Way in the sky and on his body, so they complemented each other and shone brighter and brighter.
There is a faint spiritual energy in the sky, like mist floating on the river.
That is the gathering of spirits.
The blind man squeezed his delicate hands unconsciously. Although he was a spirit body, he felt a little sweaty.
I always thought that he didn’t have much idea of the meaning of the stars in the sky. I originally thought that he would not succeed. I watched the joke with a cold eye and asked him to hold it in for a while. Then he turned around and asked, "Blind blind, what should I do? Give me some strategies..." …”
As a result, Zhao Changhe remained silent, secretly thinking that he had truly fused his sword intention, and that this was his own star intention.
Is it because Xia Chichi's founding of the country touched him? But he didn't show that he understood it at that time... Could it be that Zhao Changhe was deliberately hiding his performance from himself now?
The Milky Way is now open, and Zhao Changhe is even more active.
A much thicker sword energy shot straight into the sky, and the cold and blurry moonlight loomed in the sky.
After the moon, the four images begin to light up. And almost in no particular order, thousands of swords came out again, and all four phenomena appeared. He does not deliberately avoid or jump out of the existence of the four images, or in other words, he wants to include the four images.
At the moment when the four images were lit up, Sanniang, who was fussing and controlling the fire, seemed to feel something and looked back in shock.
Far away in the Queen Mother's palace, Huangfu Qing suddenly stood up and turned to look north.
Xia Chichi, who was having a private discussion with Tang Wanzhuang in the imperial study, stood up in shock, almost knocking over the inkstone in front of him.
Tang Wanzhuang was stunned: "Why are you so alarmed, Your Majesty?"
Xia Chichi's face was really a little pale, and he said to himself in shock: "The Night Emperor is coming to the world? No, this meaning is specious...is this...the long river?"
"Whoosh!" Huangfu Qingxia Chichi and the Four Elephant Cultists in the palace turned into streams of light and went straight to the Ancestral Temple.
Tang Wanzhuang was left looking at the empty imperial study, dumbfounded.
Countless Si Xiang believers gathered at the entrance of the Imperial Ancestral Temple, almost all holding their breath.
Huangfu Qing put on a Suzaku mask and stood at the entrance. He waved his hand to stop the crowd of questions and whispered: "Everyone, please be patient and don't disturb me."
Xia Chichi came up and asked in a low voice: "Honorable Sir, this intention suddenly dimmed...did it fail?"
"Almost..." Huangfu Qing looked up at the sky. It was about to break at dawn and the sun had not yet appeared.
"Almost...just like the Emperor Ye, he was so close to finishing the last bit. Emperor Ye missed his intention, and what he missed was..."
Xia Chichi murmured: "Practice?"
Zhao Changhe's clothes below were already soaked with sweat.
The direction of his sword intention is acceptable... but his practice is insufficient.
The second secret treasure is simply not enough!
Sanniang is also sweating, even the fire is not warm enough to support such forging!
If the divine sword is made according to the ancients, whether it is a lack of sword intent or a lack of flame, there is a common solution.
Put your body into the furnace to temper this divine sword.
