Chapter 83: Chapter 82 Invisible Cicada Wing Sword

"Shunfeng Express, a delivery from White Rat Star, please sign for it."

A courier dressed in a Shunfeng uniform respectfully held the delivery box, asking Gao Xuan to sign on the light screen.

Gao Xuan casually touched the light screen, leaving his fingerprint. The delivery was signed for.

"Thank you for using Shunfeng Express. Goodbye."

The courier formally bowed to Gao Xuan, then quickly got into the delivery vehicle and left promptly.

"Sister Wa, you are really efficient."

Gao Xuan looked at the small metal box in his hand, a smile of joy spreading across his face.

The full-headed plaited Songstress wearing a five-colored long skirt materialized in the air, proudly saying, "Of course, I used the fastest delivery to send it to you. The courier fee alone is more than thirty thousand. Remember to reimburse me."

"Sister Wa, you’re so wealthy, don’t haggle with your little brother."

Gao Xuan returned to his room and placed down the metal box, rubbing his hands with some excitement, "Invisible Cicada Wing Sword, here I come."

The rectangular metal box opened up to reveal a slender sword blade inside.

The sword blade was one meter and twenty centimeters long, seven centimeters wide, and had no hilt. It was thin and wing-like, nearly translucent, resembling a glass artifact.

The sword blade had edges on both sides and lacked a hilt. It looked more like an artwork rather than a practical weapon.

Nuwa watched with interest from the side, already aware of the way to use the Invisible Cicada Wing Sword. She was curious to see how Gao Xuan would handle it.

This marvel was very special, resonating only with a special mental wave. Those unable to resonate with it could not wield the sword, regardless of their spiritual power.

Furthermore, the Invisible Cicada Wing Sword emitted a high-pitched spiritual vibration each time it was wielded.

The impact was quite frightening. The classic case of injuring oneself before injuring others.

Two former Sword Masters had been fatally shaken by the high-pitched sound of the Invisible Cicada Wing Sword during intense battles...

This is why the points required to exchange for this Silver Marvel were so low.

What surprised Nuwa was how adept Gao Xuan was.

With a light touch of his finger, the semi-transparent Invisible Cicada Wing Sword vibrated with a buzz and floated into the air.

Nuwa could not sense Source Power, nor could she wield Source Power. She also lacked spiritual power.

So, even as she watched with wide eyes, she didn’t understand what Gao Xuan was doing.

What Gao Xuan did was actually simple; he stimulated the Six-winged Celestial Cicada to establish resonance with the Invisible Cicada Wing Sword.

He didn’t know the relationship between the two marvels, but the Six-winged Celestial Cicada allowed him to wield the Invisible Cicada Wing Sword.

Their combination resulted in an intriguing synergy.

In Gao Xuan’s mind sea, the Six-winged Celestial Cicada vibrated its wings, instantly connecting with the Invisible Cicada Wing Sword.

The Invisible Cicada Wing Sword let out a long sword cry, transforming into a stream of light entering Gao Xuan’s brow, landing on the Six-winged Celestial Cicada.

This fusion process was exceptionally simple and extremely swift.

Through the Six-winged Celestial Cicada, Gao Xuan immediately mastered the Silver Level Invisible Cicada Wing Sword.

Under the stimulation of his spiritual power, the Invisible Cicada Wing Sword emerged on his back, transforming from a single blade into two parallel transparent sword blades, resembling a pair of transparent wings on his back.

As Gao Xuan’s spiritual power circulated, Source Power continuously flowed in, swiftly turning the sword wings into a state of nothingness.

In this state, the Invisible Cicada Wing Sword converted into a pure Source Power form, affecting only Gao Xuan himself. It did not interact with the external space or material.

In this state, the Invisible Cicada Wing Sword could serve as Gao Xuan’s invisible wings, yet it could not be used to attack enemies. Of course, it was also unaffected by spatial or environmental limitations.

Pushed by the Invisible Cicada Wing Sword, Gao Xuan slowly floated up; he paused momentarily, then suddenly streaked forward.

In a high-speed flight, he rushed toward the wall. Just as he was about to hit the wall, he gracefully turned back.

He was like a phantom, darting erratically around the living room. He didn’t touch any of the room’s furnishings, not even stirring the slightest breath of wind. One might say he didn’t disturb even a speck of dust.

Nuwa watched from the side, unable to refrain from clicking her tongue in wonder.

Gao Xuan’s flight speed was astonishingly fast, approaching the speed of sound. Yet, his flight was silent. Moreover, his maneuvers and turns were exceptionally light and agile, somewhat resembling that of a flying bee.

Bees are small and light, with rapidly fluttering wings, enabling such agility in the air.

Gao Xuan’s hundred-kilogram body could be just as nimble, even faster. It clearly showed his extremely high level of mastery over the Invisible Cicada Wing Sword.

With the Invisible Cicada Wing Sword, Gao Xuan could execute three-dimensional maneuvers. Not only was there a speed boost, but it also expanded another dimension in spatial terms. This was exceedingly vital.

A sudden flash of transparent water light crossed silently past Nuwa, slicing open a small red bead on her plait.

This was precisely the second ability of the Invisible Cicada Wing Sword, allowing for long-range attacks under spiritual power control.

The distance depends on the mental strength of the Sword Master.

The water light vanished as swiftly as it appeared, seeming almost illusory. After a slit was cut in the small red bead, it quickly returned to its original state.

Nuwa was originally a virtual projection and naturally not afraid of ordinary physical damage.

The strike from the Invisible Cicada Wing Sword controlled by Gao Xuan didn’t harm Nuwa in the slightest.

"If you scare me like this, I have to charge a mental damage fee."

Nuwa furrowed her brows, feeling that this deal was a loss. The Invisible Cicada Wing Sword was too important to Gao Xuan, even if it sold for twenty thousand points, it wouldn’t be too much.

Gao Xuan retracted the Invisible Cicada Wing Sword and lightly stopped beside Nuwa, wearing a sheepish smile as he said, "It was a spur of the moment thing, don’t blame me, sister. It’s all my fault."

Nuwa was silent for a moment and said, "An Shirong was killed beautifully. I underestimated you."

"Sister, you’re so serious, I’m a bit uncomfortable."

Gao Xuan said with a cheeky smile, "Although An Shirong was a tenth-level expert, he relied too much on marvels. Killing him wasn’t too difficult."

Nuwa said amusedly, "Since you’re so capable, I still have some tasks here, all with very high point rewards."

Nuwa brought up a light screen list, displaying rows of tasks.

"Forget it, not interested."

Gao Xuan shook his head, having been tricked by Nuwa once, he was now cautious of this cheap sister.

Moreover, Luojia was coming in two months. He must prepare with all his strength and has no energy for other things.

"I understand your feelings."

Nuwa said with a face of sympathy, "But according to the rules, a Sage has to pay a membership fee of twelve thousand points every year."

"What?"

Gao Xuan was so angry his eyes almost popped open, "How come I didn’t know about this rule?"

"Hehe, that I don’t know."

Nuwa said, "Of course, I can invoke special provisions to help you waive the fee. Guess, will I do that?"

Nuwa was smiling happily, looking very pleased. Her pretty colorful phoenix eyes had turned into adorable squinting eyes.

However, Gao Xuan couldn’t be happy, it seems the Seventh Sage had so many pitfalls!

Of course, for a Sage, twelve thousand points are nothing. It was only because Gao Xuan was a sham Sage that he was troubled by twelve thousand points.

As things stood, Gao Xuan couldn’t complain because this path was of his own choosing.

The Seventh Sage had also given him great help. Like cracking the ship cannon program on the Law Enforcement Flying Ship, all with the help of the Seventh Sage’s authority.

And the Invisible Cicada Wing Sword was extremely important to him as well.

Gao Xuan thought for a moment and asked, "How do you calculate a year?"

"Of course, the Mother Star year. Three hundred and sixty-five days."

Nuwa said, "Congratulations, you still have six months. You have to work hard. I leave this task list with you, think about how to complete the tasks. Good luck!"

Before Gao Xuan could speak, Nuwa disappeared with a flash.

Gao Xuan glanced at the task list, the ones with higher points include the president of the Black Dragon Association, worth four thousand points, and finding the Pegasus Star Insect Race King Insect, worth five thousand points...

Upon seeing these tasks, Gao Xuan couldn’t feel happy.

Luojia’s name wasn’t there. As a human, no matter how many bad things Luojia did, he wouldn’t be listed by Nuwa in the task list.

Tasks actively issued by Nuwa were definitely aimed at the alien race.

Fortunately, there’s still time, so he doesn’t need to worry about these for now.

The urgent thing is to quickly complete a genetic sequence evolution.

Gao Xuan put away the Invisible Cicada Wing Sword and went to the underground cultivation room.

The completely enclosed underground cultivation room was very secure, with the key being it was quiet enough.

Gao Xuan took out a Silver Source Crystal Stone, held it in his hand, and sat down on the ground in a meditative state.

In his sea of consciousness, the Six-winged Celestial Cicada continuously flapped its wings and hummed, the Silver Source Crystal Stone rapidly disintegrated into a mass of silver light amid the vibration, which was absorbed by the Six-winged Celestial Cicada.

The Six-winged Celestial Cicada then returned the silver light to Gao Xuan, leaving it to his command.

Gao Xuan operated the Aurora Sword Technique, guiding and circulating the silver light to open up the Source Power node in his heart.

In the past two days, he had already absorbed two Source Power Crystals, and he was only a step away from breaking through.

The circulating silver light entered the coccyx of his spine, quickly opening up a Source Power node there.

The radiant silver light burst forth from this node.

All over Gao Xuan’s body, the Source Power nodes resonated together, and streams of silver light crisscrossed, forming a complex Source Power system within him.

Under the stimulation of powerful Source Power, the dark green star wheel at Gao Xuan’s brow also suddenly swelled and exploded with infinite brightness.
