Chapter 105: Fusion Technique

  The second update!

  ——

  The handsome young man's mind is about the same as a six or seven year old child, always wanting to imitate the style of a superior person, but paired with his tender face and voice, it gives people a comical and lovely feeling.

  This reminded Chen Yao of his younger brother Chen Hao, unfortunately, due to the pressures of life, his childhood was similar to his own, studying hard, practicing swordplay, day after day, being sensible and obedient, let alone being mischievous or playful, he hadn't even said a joke.

  "Ling Bai is here?" Chen Quan shouted.

  The handsome little man was sulking, and upon hearing this, he pouted his mouth and muttered: "Don't call me Ling Bai Shangren, I think you're being sarcastic towards me."

  "I also think this name is awkward." Chen Tuo thought so too and said: "Or I'll call you Ling Bai?"

  The handsome young man waved his hand weakly: "Whatever."

  "What is this Sword Tomb's Silent Extinction Realm anyway? Can we get out of here?" Chen Xiao looked around and asked.

  "No!"

  Ling Bai shook her head, raised it, and a hint of fervent longing appeared in her clear black eyes. "Do you think I don't want to go out? Jianzhong, the burial ground for swords, is a desolate space opened up by Master with his unparalleled divine power, precisely to prevent me from being captured by enemies."

  "Open up space? This method is also too inconceivable." Chen Xiao muttered to himself, suddenly saying: "Then how did I get in?"

  He pointed to a pile of white bones on the ground and said, "Look, they're just like them. They also touched the sword mound's ban and were transferred in. There's no exit, only growing old and dying here."

  "But with so many cultivators coming in, isn't there a single one who is your enemy? Don't get me wrong, I'm asking how you've managed to protect yourself and stay alive until now?"

  Chen Xuan's mind was filled with too many doubts. He knew that the vast desert of Huan Hai had many terrifying restrictions, ruins, and space rifts that devoured everything. But he never thought that one day he would also be trapped in one, his mood inevitably feeling depressed and anxious, yearning to understand everything so that he could leave this ghostly place as soon as possible.

  "I am the soul of Jianmo Sword, and I have long been integrated with this Jianmo realm. If I don't want to see anyone, no one can see me!" With that, Ling Bai's heart cleared up, and she regained her proud and arrogant demeanor, saying loudly: "If it weren't for your decent perception, I wouldn't have bothered to meet you."

  Chen Xiao didn't dare to provoke the little guy again, and solemnly said: "So that's how it is. I was blind to Mount Tai, my fault, my fault."

  "Fake! You're so fake!" Although she said that, Ling Bai's small face was beaming with joy, and if not for her concern about appearances, she would have probably cheered out loud already.

  What a little guy who likes to be praised by others! Chen Xiao smiled in his heart and thought that since he couldn't get out, he would first enter the cave mansion to see Season Yu, maybe he could find a way out.

  As he thought of this, Chen Xiao's mind was immersed in the Palm Heart Jade Pendant, and at the same time, he divided a strand of true yuan and a strand of witch power into it.

  Buzz!

  Accompanied by a clear and melodious hum, the jade pendant slipped out of his palm and floated in mid-air, emitting a brilliant light that formed a huge dark portal in the void.

  "It's really true, Seasonal Yu said it was good, when I refined my body and energy to the Purple Mansion realm, I can open the cave door of the Jade Pendant." Chen Tai's heart was excited.

  "What a treasure, how mysterious!" Ling Bai flew swiftly to the entrance of the cave and curiously looked around.

  "I'm going to a place, want to come together?" Chen Xiao glanced at Xiaolingbai and asked. This little guy claimed to be the soul of the ancient silent sword, if he could let Ji Yu see him, maybe he could infer his origin.

  "Hmm, are you inviting me?" Ling Bai said with a straight face, but her eyes were fixed on the cave entrance, looking curious.

  "Of course." Chen Xiao smiled, with a lively and clever spirit, her thoughts were as clean as crystal, extremely likable.

  "Alright, I accept your invitation, just this once, don't think it's going to be a habit... Hey, why did you leave first? That's so rude, wait for me!"

  Like this, Chen Tang and Ling Bai stepped into the cave entrance one after another. Buzz! Not long after the two figures disappeared, the cave entrance in mid-air also vanished from sight.

  ——

  On the vast emerald green grassland, a mighty river flows, with waves rolling and water splashing everywhere. The scenery stretches far into the distance, as far as the eye can see.

  In the middle of the great river, a mountain peak stood upright, piercing through the clouds, solitary and precipitous, with an ink-black body, not a single blade of grass growing on it, and countless seals stacked upon it, emitting a terrifying aura that made one's heart palpitate.

  Looking at this scene, Chen Xiao thought of the first time he came in, and he couldn't help but feel a little absent-minded. "At that time, my cultivation was still stuck in the Xiantian San Chong realm, but now, I have not only refined my Qi to reach the Zifu Wuxing, but also condensed the Shu Tu Wuwen, controlled the witchcraft power, and already qualified for the first trial of the Tianfeng Heaven!"

  "Chen Xiao? Haha, you came so quickly!"

  Whoosh! In the midst of the turbulent river, a thick and hoarse voice boomed out, accompanied by the sound, an old man with a clear and lean figure stepped out of the water, surprisingly it was Ji Yu.

  "Seasonal elder!" Seeing that familiar figure, Chen Tai blurted out, his voice trembling, clearly extremely excited in his heart.

  "Not bad, indeed a solid foundation of martial arts has been formed." Ji Yu looked Chen Tang up and down, a rare smile floating on his face.

  Chen Xiao smiled and said: "I unexpectedly obtained some Star Essence Stones, so I was able to advance in a short period of time."

  "Ah, I see." Ji Yu nodded and said with a hint of surprise: "The Zhoutian Star Refining Body Technique is extremely difficult to cultivate. Originally, I thought you would need to spend several years of effort on it. Unexpectedly, you were able to obtain the Xingpo Stone. Your luck can't be described as anything but profound."

  Speaking of which, Chen Xiao suddenly remembered the young Qiongqi and asked: "Junior Brother Ji Yu, where is Bai Kui?"

  Ji Yu pointed behind him at the great river and said: "It's been too long since we've eaten any precious things, let's go to sleep on the riverbed."

  Nothing to eat, just sleep? Chen Tai's smile was not quite right. He knew that Pixiu could gather the aura of fortune and was a rare auspicious beast between heaven and earth. However, it liked to feed on the world's treasures and took various precious objects as food. In this empty cave, it would naturally go hungry.

  "Hey, who's this old man?" Ling Bai, who was following Chen Yu's butt, suddenly flew into the air and said loudly, as if expressing his dissatisfaction at being ignored.

  "Jianhun?" Ji Yu couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, his eyes fixed tightly on Ling Bai, as if he wanted to see through all of his secrets.

  Ling Bai's expression changed, and the old man in front of him had a profound gaze that seemed to see through everything, giving him immense pressure.

  "Jiemo Sword Dao, huh? It should be the sword dao inheritance of Jiemo Sword Sect from the ancient era. If one possesses a sword soul, their master's sword dao cultivation has already reached the great completion stage and should possess the power of a Tianxian." Ji Yuruo nodded thoughtfully.

  "Seasonal rain indeed knows its origin!" Chen Xiao's heart was filled with joy.

  "How did you know? I don't think I've ever told you about my master's background, have I?" Ling Bai's eyes widened in astonishment.

  Ji Yu smiled faintly and stopped talking, instead asking Chen Tang: "Where did you get this strand of sword soul? Its quality is pure and transparent, and it has already accumulated its master's entire sword dao inheritance. Such a treasure would make even the heavenly immortals go crazy to get their hands on it."

  Is it that formidable? Even the heavenly immortals have to break their heads? Chen Xiao was shocked in his heart, and immediately spoke out everything he had seen since entering the vast desert.

  "Space cracks, ruins, seals, sword tombs... " Ji Yu muttered to himself for a moment, and suddenly a bright light flashed in his eyes, "It shouldn't be a battlefield of immortals and demons, right?"

  "How did you even know that?" Xiao Lingbai exclaimed again, her gaze at Ji Yu already carrying a hint of reverence.

  Ji Yu smiled slightly and ignored the little guy again, saying: "Your Geng Jin sword is not yet refined, right? Hand it over to me, you go to Tianfeng to pass the trial, when you come out, I'll give you a big surprise." As he spoke, he intentionally glanced at Ling Bai.

  "No!" Ling Bai seemed to sense something was amiss and cried out in alarm, "I won't be bound by any sword, that way I'll be trapped and will never be able to come out again."

  Chen Xiao was somewhat hesitant, as he quite liked Ling Bai, this three-inch-tall person, and naturally didn't want to refine him into a cold sword.

  Ji Yu shook his head and said helplessly, "Since that's the case, then I won't help you. Originally, I had planned to use the Fusion Spirit Technique to give this little guy a body that could cultivate, but now it seems..."

  "Soul Fusion Technique!" Ji Yu's words were cut off by Ling Bai's astonished cry, "You actually know the Soul Fusion Technique? This is a technique I've been dreaming of mastering for thousands of years!"

  "What is Fusion Technique?" Chen Xiao stared blankly at the scene in front of him, desperately thinking in his mind, but couldn't come up with any clues about Fusion Technique, and even this name he had heard for the first time.

  "Clumsy, you haven't even heard of the Refining Soul Technique?" Ling Bai Fei quickly said: "It's a magical refining technique that allows the soul to use a treasure as its shell, just like a cultivator, and ascend to the path of the Great Way!"

  "Is this real?" Chen's heart was greatly shocked, and the law treasure was cultivated like a monk, ascending to the great dao, such means could only be described as reversing heaven.

  "It's indeed true." Ji Yu nodded and said, "This technique only existed in the hands of great masters during the ancient era, and has long been lost to the sands of time. It's natural that you haven't heard of it before. However, although this technique is formidable, for a magic treasure to ascend to heaven like a human is extremely difficult. Even in the ancient era, only an extremely small number of magic treasures were able to attain the Great Dao."

  "But isn't this a kind of hope? I was originally the soul of a Xianjian, tempered and refined by my master with the Supreme Sword Dao, with an unshakeable foundation. With such an opportunity, how could I let it slip away?"

  A resolute light appeared on the small white face, and he said word by word: "When the master fell, I vowed to cultivate, to step onto the great path, and ultimately to avenge the enemy for the master!"

  At this moment, Chen Xiao saw his own shadow in Ling Bai, and a strong resonance was born.

  Isn't it all for avenging Grandfather and the entire Chen family?

  What's wrong with becoming an immortal and reuniting with mother?

  "So you agree?" Ji Yu said slowly.

  "Please enlighten me, senior." Ling Bai descended swiftly and landed on the ground, kneeling down with a devout and respectful expression.

  Ji Yu glanced at Chen Tai, who was stunned and speechless beside him, "Do you want to take him in? After the Gangjin Sword Bamboo possesses this little guy, its power will become stronger and stronger."

  Chen Tang was unwilling, and immediately took out the Geng Jin sword bamboo and handed it over to Ji Yu.

  "Go, cross the first trial of Tianfeng and cultivate well there. Wait until your strength is strong enough to kill those seven people, then it's not too late to leave from here." Ji Yu ordered calmly.

  "Going out?" Chen Xiao exclaimed: "Senior, do you have a way to break through the Sword Tomb's Silent Extinction Realm?"

  "Where did you little brat get so many questions, just go and don't bother me again." Ji Yu rarely scolded with a smile, then immediately swung his sleeve and took Ling Bai to dive into the big river, disappearing without a trace.

  "After passing through the first trial of Tianfeng, I cultivated for three days inside, which is equivalent to one day in the outside world. It can indeed allow me to increase my strength again in an extremely short period of time!"

  "Next year during the Longyuan City's Hidden Dragon Ranking Competition, I'll go visit Duanmu Ze and the others. Most importantly, I want to see my younger brother and find out how he's doing in the Flowing Cloud Sword Sect..."

  Chen Ting took a deep breath, her eyes fixed on the solitary peak standing tall in the middle of the great river. Without hesitation, she tapped her toes on the ground and shot off like an arrow leaving its bowstring, flying towards the mountain peak.

  Rumble!

  Around the pitch-black and majestic mountain peak, billions of hidden and invisible seals were triggered, suddenly bursting out with a loud rumbling sound, surging out an extremely terrifying suction force, like a far-ancient giant beast opening its bloody mouth wide, not allowing any resistance, instantly swallowing Chen Tai in.
