Chapter 472: Chapter 471: Ninety Thousand Kinds of Flying Swords

Hearing Ling Tianzi’s voice, Lin Bai responded, "Alright, Master, I’m starting."

Having said that, Lin Bai closed his eyes, his face solemn and his spirit tense, he dared not have any error.

If he made a mistake, his divine soul would shatter, and by then, Lin Bai would be torn to pieces.

Although Ling Tianzi said he would protect Lin Bai, what if things happened too quickly for Ling Tianzi to react? Therefore, Lin Bai had to rely on himself, be extra cautious, and do his best to avoid any mistakes.

With his eyes closed, he started to gradually split his divine soul according to the method in his heart.

Half an hour later.

Lin Bai’s forehead dripped with sweat, his face revealing a painful expression.

At this time, Lin Bai sensed his divine soul. He employed the method indicated in the technique, turned his cultivation into a sky knife, furiously slashing on his divine soul, and forcibly split one third from his complete divine soul.

Suddenly, the split one third of his divine soul transformed into a stream of black mist that flew out from Lin Bai’s forehead.

"Quickly, solidify it on the flying sword!"

Ling Tianzi took this moment to remind him.

Lin Bai’s eyes snapped open, he spewed out mouthfuls of blood, his face pale as if he had suffered a heavy injury.

Splitting one’s divine soul, to a martial artist, was tantamount to being heavily injured, and injuries to the divine soul were particularly difficult to heal. Without reverse-heaven level miraculous elixirs, it was almost impossible to repair the damaged Divine soul.

With a solemn expression, his eyes reddened, Lin Bai directed the one third of the divine soul into the flying sword on his knees.

"Solidify!"

Ling Tianzi let out a low growl and pointed out a Daoist law, landing it on the flying sword.

With Ling Tianzi assisting, there wasn’t any hindrance in Lin Bai’s soul-spirit merging with the flying sword.

Three hours later, the flying sword and the split soul perfectly merged.

At this moment, Lin Bai could feel everything about the flying sword... its texture, its temperature, every single thing.

Lin Bai had a thought, wanting to test whether he could make the flying sword take off.

Immediately, as soon as Lin Bai thought of it, the flying sword on his knees began to wobble and flew off.

Lin Bai looked at the flying sword hovering in front of him with immense joy, extremely excited.

Lin Bai had another thought and wanted to shatter a giant rock on the cliff!

Whoosh——

Just as he thought of it, the hovering flying sword broke through the air and crushed the giant rock that Lin Bai wanted to shatter, turning it into dust with one strike.

"Incredible!"

"Master, it’s incredible! I feel like the flying sword is me, and I am the flying sword!"

"And, I feel that the power in the flying sword and my own cultivation power are exactly the same, even stronger!"

Lin Bai exclaimed with tremendous joy.

"You’ve just had your divine soul split and experienced a serious injury. Don’t play around anymore. First, retract the flying sword into your body, fuse it with your divine soul, stabilize your injuries, only then you won’t get injured when you control the flying sword with the Daoist law!" Ling Tianzi cautioned.

"Yes!"

Lin Bai’s face didn’t dare to relax a bit as he controlled his flying sword to retract back into his body.

The flying sword could fly out of every pore and also enter the body from every pore.

The flying sword came to Lin Bai’s front, from a three-foot longsword gradually shrunk down to a flying sword that was almost smaller than dust, entering Lin Bai’s body and settling in his Dantian.

The flying sword entered his body, the split soul merged with the divine soul again!

The searing pain of splitting the divine soul gradually vanished from Lin Bai’s body.

Five hours later.

The Flying Sword and the Divine Soul merged perfectly.

At that moment, when Lin Bai once more guided the Flying Sword to leave his body, he felt no pain at all.

Half an hour passed.

Upon opening his eyes, an unhidden joy filled Lin Bai’s gaze. With a single thought, a Flying Sword shot out from his chest, becoming a long sword, cutting towards the Nine Heavens. The Sword Qi pierced the clouds, shattering all the clouds above the cliff.

Ling Tianzi said, "You’ve now begun to grasp the art of the Flying Sword."

"Lin Bai, do you know why the path of the Flying Sword is so unique?"

Lin Bai shook his head and answered, "I don’t."

Ling Tianzi said, "It’s because the materials required to craft a Flying Sword have become scarce in today’s Martial World."

"Take Barbarian Ancient Continent for example. It is likely more difficult to source the materials to craft a Flying Sword than to Ascend to Heaven."

Lin Bai curiously asked, "Master, is it really so difficult to craft a Flying Sword?"

Ling Tianzi said, "Indeed, and since you have now become a Flying Sword Warrior, I will teach you how to craft a Flying Sword, along with the methods to craft ninety thousand different types of Flying Swords."

"These ninety thousand crafting methods are my life’s work, collected from my travels around the world. They are far more valuable than the Flying Sword that I had given to you!"

Lin Bai responded solemnly, "I understand, Master. It’s better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish."

Ling Tianzi laughed, "Ha ha ha, Lin Bai, do you know what makes me happiest about accepting you as my disciple? It’s that your comprehension is higher than your three senior siblings’! So speaking with you isn’t as tiring."

Lin Bai responded with embarrassment, "Master, to become your disciple is a great honor. I believe that whether it is my oldest senior brother, second senior sister, or third senior brother, each of them must excel in one way or another."

"Otherwise, with your discerning eyes, they would not have been accepted as your disciples."

"I am just an ordinary one among them."

Ling Tianzi, looking at Lin Bai, said approvingly, "It’s rare, Lin Bai, rare that you have managed to maintain such a humble heart."

"Now that you’ve made a name for yourself in Shenwu Kingdom, becoming the number one Core Martial Artists of Spirit Sword Sect, becoming the ’Sword Prince’ of Shenwu Kingdom, glowing with honor and fame, I had feared that you would become complacent."

"It’s rare that you still have this humble heart in your pursuit of the peak of Martial Arts!"

"In fact, this was the reason I had such high hopes for you."

"Lin Bai, if you can stay humble and pure, untouched by fame and fortune, your achievements and future in Martial Arts will go further than your oldest senior brother, second senior sister, and third senior brother."

"I’m not exaggerating when I say that among the four disciples I’ve accepted, your oldest senior brother, second senior sister, third senior brother, and you, you’re the one I’m most hopeful about."

"If you work hard, one day you might be able to stand at my side."

Ling Tianzi said with a light smile.

Lin Bai responded excitedly, "I will work hard, Master, to live up to your expectations."

Ling Tianzi said, "Excellent, I will now pass on to you the methods of the Flying Sword and its forging."

With another skyward point from Ling Tianzi, a memory was instilled into Lin Bai’s mind.

For powerful individuals like Ling Tianzi, there was no need for spoken instruction. He just directly instilled the corresponding knowledge into Lin Bai’s mind, allowing Lin Bai to slowly absorb it.

This memory Ling Tianzi transferred shook Lin Bai.

It was divided into two parts.

The first part covered the materials necessary for crafting a Flying Sword.

The second part was the ninety thousand methods for crafting Flying Swords that Ling Tianzi had spoken of before.

This was the legacy of Ling Tianzi. This was the real skill he wanted to pass on to Lin Bai.

With this legacy, even if Lin Bai’s current Flying Sword were to shatter, Lin Bai could go find the necessary materials and craft another one himself.

Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime!
