The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 1202 - 1200: Sword Array Tower!

Chapter 1202: Chapter 1200: Sword Array Tower!

"Blood Shadow Demon Body..."

Lin Bai murmured.

Fishing Old Man said, "Master, the materials required to condense a split identity are extremely difficult to find. Currently, there are no more than three Heaven and Earth Spirit Fetuses in the Barbaric Ancient Continent, and they are exceedingly precious!"

"Once you have condensed your split identity, it can cultivate on its own. Once you merge with your split identity, your strength will soar to a new level!"

"Heaven and Earth Spirit Fetus is now an existence with a price yet beyond the market in the Barbaric Ancient Continent."

"Even if your original self is destroyed, your consciousness can be reborn in your split identity."

"In other words, the split identity is akin to your second life. However, this second life can only take control after your original self dies and your consciousness is reborn in the split identity,"

"If your original self does not die, then the split identity is nothing more than a split identity; the control still lies in the hands of the original."

Lin Bai nodded and said, "Okay, then let’s have this Heaven and Earth Spirit Fetus."

Fishing Old Man said, "Master, nurturing a split identity from the Heaven and Earth Spirit Fetus takes time. If the master cannot tend to it, you might as well leave it in the Creation Divine Palace, and this old servant will look after it!"

"Once the split identity has condensed, the master will naturally be aware of it,"

Fishing Old Man said.

"Agreed."

Lin Bai nodded and said with a smile.

After all, the Creation Divine Palace was now his own, and leaving it there was much safer than carrying it on his person.

"Then, master, please take out a drop of blood, a wisp of soul, and a piece of bone."

Fishing Old Man said calmly.

Lin Bai silently nodded and began to slowly extract the required items as directed by the Fishing Old Man.

Of course, the process was quite cruel.

Lin Bai was not in a hurry and proceeded slowly.

Three days later, Lin Bai finally handed over all the items to the Fishing Old Man.

A drop of blood was simple.

A piece of bone, however, was difficult; the pain of bone extraction was indeed cruel.

A wisp of soul—Lin Bai split a part of his soul from within himself.

After Fishing Old Man infused these items into the Heaven and Earth Spirit Fetus, with a gentle push, the Spirit Fetus disappeared in front of Lin Bai, hidden within the Creation Divine Palace.

Lin Bai felt distinctly that the life force within his body was becoming more and more abundant.

This was the life force brought to Lin Bai by the Heaven and Earth Spirit Fetus.

Although the split identity had not yet condensed, Lin Bai was already aware of its existence!

"Interesting."

Lin Bai said with a faint smile.

"Master, do you need anything else?" Fishing Old Man asked curiously.

Lin Bai said with a smile, "Nothing more is needed for now."

Fishing Old Man said calmly, "Master, during the Blood Prison Trial, this old servant noticed that the master seemed to have cultivated the Flying Sword Skill?"

Lin Bai nodded and said, "Indeed."

Fishing Old Man said, "The Flying Sword Skill is rarely practiced in the present Barbaric Ancient Continent, and the master does not have the opportunity to receive guidance from a famed teacher or obtain a legacy cultivation skill."

"Yet among the treasures here, there is one that can assist the master in cultivating the Flying Sword Skill,"

Fishing Old Man said softly.

"Oh? There’s something here that aids in cultivating the Flying Sword Skill?" Lin Bai said excitedly.

Fishing Old Man gave a slight smile, looked up, and beckoned. A small tower flew out from the stone wall.

"This object is called ’Sword Array Tower,’ brought here by Lord Qinghe from another world. It was obtained by Lord Qinghe after slaying a Warrior of the Flying Sword Skill,"

Fishing Old Man said softly.

The delicate sword-shaped tower flew towards Lin Bai.

It was only then that Lin Bai could clearly see that the Sword Array Tower was crafted from sword blades the size of fingertips, which is why it was named thus.

Fishing Old Man said, "The Sword Tower has eighteen floors, and each floor contains an extremely formidable Sword Array. If the master can master the Sword Arrays within, your strength will surely become even more formidable and the Flying Sword Skill will be able to manifest its power to perfection."

"Sword Array!"

Lin Bai, puzzled, said, "Elder Fish, isn’t a Sword Array supposed to be displayed by several Warriors simultaneously to unleash its power? I fear that I alone may be insufficient."

Fishing Old Man chuckled, "Master, this is precisely what makes the Flying Sword Skill so daunting."

"If other Warriors wish to execute a Combined Sword Formation, they must be a group of old friends familiar with each other, or brothers from the same sect, combining their efforts to fully display its power."

"But the Flying Sword Skill is different!"

"Warriors who cultivate the Flying Sword Skill, become one with their swords. They can rely on the power of the Flying Swords, instead of the Warriors’ strength, to execute the Combined Sword Formation, achieving even greater might."

Fishing Old Man said calmly.

Surprise and delight shone in Lin Bai’s eyes continuously, "To think it has such marvelous uses."

Lin Bai received the Sword Array Tower, a smile appearing on his face.

After recognizing the tower as his master, Lin Bai activated his spiritual power, and his body shrank abruptly, flying into the Sword Array Tower.

Sword Array Tower, First Floor!

Rustle rustle—

As Lin Bai’s form shrank and he entered the Sword Array Tower, the dim space of the first floor immediately lit up with bright glows.

Lin Bai fixed his gaze and saw that golden characters had illuminated on the stone walls of the tower.

"Sword Array Tower, First Floor!"

"Primordial Unity Sword Array!"

"Gather the force of heaven and earth and spiritual power upon the Flying Swords; with one sword strike, rip through the starry sky, shattering all things!"

"..."

Lin Bai approached and read the text on the stone walls carefully.

After reading all of the text, Lin Bai’s pupils were filled with intense excitement!

"Such terrifying power in this Sword Array!"

Lin Bai was shocked.

"If the ’Primordial Unity Sword Array’ on the first floor is already so extraordinary, what about the Sword Arrays on the other floors?" Lin Bai saw a staircase and wanted to ascend to the Second Floor.

But when Lin Bai prepared to go to the Second Floor, an invisible barrier stopped him.

"Can’t go to the Second Floor?"

Lin Bai wondered.

At that moment, a string of golden text lit up on the staircase.

"Execute the Primordial Unity Sword Array on the First Floor and, after defeating the Puppets, a pass judgement allows entry to the Second Floor!"

"Overconfidence and hubris are taboo in Martial Art! Those who obtain the Sword Array Tower, bear this in mind."

After seeing this sequence of glowing text, Lin Bai slowly retreated to the First Floor.

"Overconfidence and hubris are taboo in Martial Art, a reasonable saying indeed. If I haven’t even mastered the Sword Array of the first floor and am already aiming for the second, isn’t that like trying to run before I can walk?"

Lin Bai retreated to the First Floor and, after memorizing the text inside, left the Sword Array Tower.

He returned to the Creation Divine Palace.

"Master, how was it? Are the Sword Arrays inside the Sword Array Tower to your satisfaction?" asked Fishing Old Man.

Lin Bai replied with a joyful smile, "Since it is a treasure collected by Senior Qinghe, it’s naturally extraordinary. The Sword Arrays therein indeed possess boundless power, from which I have benefited greatly."

"However, Sword Array cultivation is extremely difficult, and I still need more time to understand its profundities. I can’t cultivate proficiency in a short period."

Fishing Old Man nodded gently, "That is to be expected. The Martial Art of the Barbaric Ancient Continent pales in comparison to the world where Lord Qinghe comes from. Since the Sword Array Tower is from Lord Qinghe’s world, naturally, it is extremely difficult to cultivate."

Lin Bai, out of curiosity, asked, "By the way, Elder Fish, where exactly does Senior Qinghe come from? Do you know?"

Fishing Old Man shook his head and said, "I do not know, but what I do know is that the world where Lord Qinghe resides is a pinnacle of Martial Art in the All Heavens and Myriad Realms, a place all beings aspire to."

Lin Bai nodded in sudden enlightenment.

"Master, your friend outside is calling for you and seems very anxious," Fishing Old Man said at that moment.

"My friend?" Lin Bai was startled and said, "Then, please send me out."

Fishing Old Man chuckled, "Master, the Creation Divine Palace is now yours. If you need anything for cultivation in the future, you can always come here to find what you need."

"But please, Master, do not forget the agreement with Lord Qinghe, for the Blood Fiend can no longer be restrained..."

"I understand." Lin Bai, upon hearing about the Blood Demon Chaos, solemnly nodded his head.

Then Fishing Old Man smiled, sending Lin Bai away from the Creation Divine Palace!
