Chapter 0: Two Upgradeable Soul Swords
Lan Ruoxuan nodded and said, "Not bad! The secondary effect of Dream of the Ancient Times is halved, and no one has tried it three times yet."
Lian Yun nodded. He had wanted to ask about this point earlier, as he had already experienced it once. Would he be able to exit the dream quickly next time due to a change in his mindset? That was indeed uncertain.
Although the effect was halved, for Lian Yun, it still meant over three years of time, which was quite impressive.
"Senior Lan, how long did I use it for?"
To Lian Yun, Dream of the Ancient Times felt like an enhanced version of enlightenment. How much actual time had passed in those seven years?
"One breath!"
In the span of a single breath, seven years had passed? He had thought that closing the door would at least take a year; he never expected that seven years could pass in just one breath.
This might be the reason why the Qin Emperor wanted to harm Lan Ruoxuan!
One must understand that if someone at Lan Ruoxuan's level could continuously use such a technique, it could potentially create numerous Peerless Monarchs or even Half Emperors. It wasn't impossible that the Qin Emperor feared his own position diminishing and thus sought to harm Lan Ruoxuan.
Or perhaps Lan Ruoxuan refused to play Dream of the Ancient Times for the Qin Emperor, leading him to harbor jealousy in his heart.
Which situation was true, Lian Yun chose not to consider for now; he only needed to know that he needed to kill the Qin Emperor.
"Then I shall take my leave first. Please inform me in advance next time I am needed," Lian Yun said as he stood and bowed.
Lan Ruoxuan merely nodded, her gaze cold yet somewhat dazed—perhaps she was greatly exhausted. Thus, Lian Yun hurriedly took his leave to avoid disturbing her rest.
However, he did not notice that after he turned around, Lan Ruoxuan revealed a faint smile. From Lian Yun's unchanging attitude and steady aura, she sensed a presence worthy of her admiration.
Lian Yun returned directly to the Mansion in Xianyang City. The insights gained over seven years were mostly just realizations rather than tangible gains.
Le Xian practiced Qin Art for a while before helping with sword techniques. Yan focused on integrating the sword techniques from the early years of Dream of the Ancient Times. The city naturally thrived on Vibrational Force and forging skills. Meanwhile, Lian Yun primarily cultivated the Ten Thousand Sword Technique.
However, due to his seven years of insights, Lian Yun was simultaneously practicing Vibrational Force while also undergoing the fifth Ultimate Ascension to Emperor.
As for the Ghost Slaves, they were naturally engaged in their own cultivation or battles. With sufficient resources, their realms had nearly all improved, and some even advanced by two or three tiers. Even Yang Zai Xing broke through to High-Level Monarch, stepping into the Peak of Kings. With the talent of a renowned general, he truly possessed the strength of a Peak Monarch, and with Yan Lie's assistance, he might even contend with a Peerless Monarch.
In less than three days, he integrated the knowledge gained over seven years. Then, Yan and the Ghost Slaves headed to BSS Tower for battle, while the city began forging Soul Swords. Leze was assigned by Lian Yun to practice sword techniques.
The Ten Thousand Sword Technique was initially completed after five or six years of effort. However, estimating how long it would take for the second form or further advancements in sword techniques was nearly impossible. Since he wasn't particularly concerned about Qin Art, it was natural to let Leze comprehend sword techniques.
As Lian Yun's realm declined, his understanding of Vibrational Force deepened. He continuously moved toward external rotation, forging Soul Swords while comprehending Vibrational Force.
However, forging Soul Swords now was different from during the Dream of the Ancient Times. It was no longer about producing ten thousand low-level Soul Swords or one thousand medium-level Soul Swords. Instead, he aimed to forge Supreme Soul Swords with full effort.
Of course, the success rate couldn't be as high as when forging Silver Dragon Armor; it ranged between ten to twenty percent.
Lian Yun planned to first use 'failed' products that resulted in high-level Soul Swords. The Supreme Soul Swords would be accumulated gradually. Once there were enough, he would use thousands of Supreme Soul Swords at once.
However, for some unknown reason, after forging nearly a thousand Soul Swords, during another attempt, what should have been a 'failure' that only produced a high-level Soul Sword unexpectedly possessed self-advancement properties.
Lian Yun did not feel joy but rather confusion.
As the wielder of the Ten Thousand Sword Technique, having thousands of Soul Swords at the same level was ideal. Therefore, he had never considered needing a Soul Sword that could advance on its own; he was surprised to have obtained one so unexpectedly.
After forging it, Lian Yun first thought of giving it to Qian Duoduo. However, he also realized that the Soul Sword might hold greater significance for Xianjian Sect, so he contemplated gifting it to them instead.
Nonetheless, since Qian Duoduo had made a prior promise, Lian Yun decided to contact Qian Duoduo first to ask for his opinion.
After careful consideration, Qian Duoduo planned to auction the Soul Sword at an auction before the Annual Meeting. However, knowing Lian Yun's intentions, he suggested that Xianjian Sect make an offer and that Lian Yun's share of the profits could be deducted without requiring Xianjian Sect to contribute.
Lian Yun had no objections to this and then contacted Elder Mei to clarify the situation.
Elder Mei felt regret but expressed understanding. Moreover, since Lian Yun informed them in advance, it allowed Xianjian Sect to prepare early; they likely wouldn't miss out on this Soul Sword.
Afterward, Lian Yun continued forging. Before long, July arrived—a particularly challenging month for those in Yin Yang City.
As Ghost Festival approached—commonly known as Ghost Festival—the Chaos Beast Tide would continue to surge with high levels of intensity.
During the first half of July, all factions would expend over seventy or eighty percent of their Mental Potions; only what remained would be used in emergencies.
However, Lian Yun did not think too much about it for the time being. He still needed several thousand high-level Soul Swords, and it would take two or three more days to complete them.
On the afternoon of July 2nd, while forging the Soul Sword, Lian Yun suddenly felt a sense of intuition. He immediately adjusted the force of the hammer he was about to strike with, transforming a Soul Sword that was almost identical to Wu Tai's into a long sword with an ordinary shape.
What he ended up with was a Supreme Soul Sword, which could evolve on its own.
After this sword was forged, Lian Yun was momentarily stunned. He tried to find that same intuitive feeling from earlier but could not find any trace of it.
He became entangled in thought once again.
To be honest, the first self-evolving Soul Sword resembled Wu Tai's Greatsword in appearance. Even within the Xianjian Sect, it wasn't suitable for just anyone.
Therefore, neither Qian Duoduo nor Elder Mei displayed any particularly excited emotions. However, this new sword was suitable for the vast majority of sword cultivators and was a Supreme Soul Sword, making its value at least ten times greater than that of the first one.
Value aside, what mattered most was that Lian Yun's last thought had indeed been about Xiao Jun's Ancient Equilibrium.
Although its appearance was essentially that of a standard long sword, Lian Yun's fleeting idea might make this Soul Sword even more fitting for Xiao Jun's Ancient Equilibrium.
