Lifebound Soul Weapon
"This innate goddess is real unique, what a strange lady.", Xin Huo returned in Zhong Yue's psyche ocean and complained, "Such a good chance, you should really try and see if she can really make you one or two babies. She needed your genes, not your life! You had done it with that little white tiger lady in the Kun Lun who has no use in giving birth to a Fuxi at all, and now, you declined a useful lady from helping you, in helping the Fuxi Clan? Shameless prick! Shame on you!"
Zhong Yue was speechless. He just couldn't have raise any inappropriate thoughts on the moon god, even implanting his genes into her body felt like a sin.
She was a beauty no one could have ever forgets.
"Brat Yue, you need to build your body well from now on. What if the next time something like this happens? Are you going to let it slip away again? No, I don't allow it, you mustn't!", Xin Huo said solemnly.
After a long time did Zhong Yue get rid of the moon god from his head. Then, he walked up into the Golden Summit.
Jun Sixie smiled and said, "Your lover asked you to leave together, why didn't you?"
Zhong Yue smiled and answered in a broad and level manner, "I can't let go of you…"
"Frivolous!" Jun Sixie glared at him fiercely and walked into the saint palace. But during the moment she turned when no one saw, her face had blushed and her heart pounded heavily.
"...all.", Zhong Yue slowly finished his sentence and shook his head when he saw the headmaster trotting into the palace in a fast gait, not knowing if she had heard him ending the sentence.
Moon god was a real beauty, he was confident that no other ladies could have been any prettier than her, but that doesn't mean there weren't anyone who was better. Moon god was too far from the mortals like a moon that hung high up in the sky, a beauty who shines bright in the dark but brings no warmth, she was untouchable. But Headmaster Jun was close by his side, even closer to his heart.
"Little Cow Jun is good, also Little Cow Qiu, and the few demon ladies, and Little Cow Bai far in the north…", Xin Huo was back on it again, "The moon god now seemed to be an unsuccessful target, you can try putting out more nets and you never know, one of them might be it!"
Zhong Yue shook his head and was cowed into silence by Xin Huo's witless suggestions.
Ignoring the rants that came from Xin Huo, Zhong Yue walked into Yu Wenju's Yuan Shen secret realms, there were many Swords Gate disciples gathered here, looking at the scale mirror in amending their flaws.
This scale of unknown origin was better than any of the divine weapons in Swords Gate. With it, the human disciples can clearly see their flaws and weaknesses, then proceed in amending them and further enhance their prowess and talents!
Even Shui Zian who was long past his prime age and talented days, who has reached to the limit of his life without any room for improvements; was still able to take a step further in his prowess through the help of this scale mirror.
This has strongly proved how strong and magnificent this scale was!
Even more, the scale huge enough to allow more than thousands of disciples to reflect themselves in it. Such a treasure could only be placed in the Yuan Shen secret realms so as to not bring unnecessary attentions from the other races.
Zhong Yue stood in front of the mirror and looked into the tiniest details in his mortal body and Yuan Shen. Every time he goes out into the world, he would go through many blood battles; and although he was able to pull through the many predicaments and remedy his wounds all the time, these battles have still left many unperceivable wounds deep within him. They wouldn't affect his prowess in the normal days, but when left unattended for long enough, they could pose a limit on his cultivation limits and progress.
Only after attending to these minute wounds had he gone into a closed door training to forge his soul weapon.
"Brat Yue, you shouldn't forge the soul weapon first, you should look into your Yuan Shen before that!", Xin Huo sat on Zhong Yue's head while swinging the legs in front of his eyes, "Better you cultivate your Yuan Shen first! The True Spirit level has two state of extremities, one is the Pure Yin True Spirit, or also known as the Chaotic Origin True Spirit; while the second state of extremity is the innate True Spirit. You have acquired the Sui Tree, and with it, you can cultivate your Golden Crow spirit into the innate True Spirit. In addition to that Innate Tai Yin Qi, you can also ascend your moon spirit into the innate True Spirit. There, your Fuxi Yuan Shen will be stronger than ever. By then, when you breakthrough to the Imminent Deity level, you will even be able to barely contend with the gods!"
Zhong Yue was moved, he asked, "How long will it take to cultivate the innate True Spirit?"
"Well, that varies a lot. At least, ten years? At most, over hundreds I suppose!"
Zhong Yue sighed and shook his head, ten or even hundred years were far too long. Moon god said the Ancestral Star will be sealed soon, it wouldn't be too long for that to happen, he doesn't have hundreds of years to waste!
"Swords Gate, sword. The Swords Gate disciples and cultivation system are mainly based on the Sword Qi and sword arts. Sword is the weapon of a king, of righteous, resembling fair and modest."
"It is compatible with my cultivation technique. My [Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art] carries the changes of Yin and Yang, the celestial and demon. The sword have two sharp edges, one can resemble the Yin, the other Yang, one celestial and the other demon. But… sword, it is righteous and upright, fair and modest, it is lacking of changes."
Zhong Yue thought of the Fuxi Art imparted by Haoyi Monarch. Fuxi resembled the word 'Yi', and the word 'Yi' meant changes.
Thus, the sword was out of the question.
"What fitted best with my [Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art] will of course be a scroll. The scroll can contain everything in it, including my cultivation techniques, skills and various other more. The choices and changes in it are much more than the sword but the scroll… it is stronger in defense but not in attacks."
"An umbrella?"
"It might work, open it and it can turn into a defensive stance; close it and I can wield it like a weapon. Feng Wuji has chose the umbrella as his soul weapon. The umbrella is real cool and handsome to wield, but it doesn't have much use."
"The altars…"
"... I can forge a godly altar and carved the [Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art] on it, it can greatly enhance my [Worshipping of Gods] and also refine myself, or boost my power. But to cast an altar out in the battle, it means that I will be bound to its proximity. I can only fight around it as well as protect it from being damaged. Maybe not too good a choice to make."
"Lord Bai has the Glacial Frost Palace, he used it to kill the Mother Queen and sealed the dimensional tunnel for thousands of years. It is truly strong and marvelous, but its main use is to suppress, seal and refine, it is not strong enough in attacks."
"Cauldron, it is also strong in refinings. The three-legged cauldrons are mostly used to contain foods, only the four-legged ones are strong in battles. The cauldron resembled the Qi and can greatly help in boosting and containing the fortunes in the one's territory. But we humans are weak, we have not much land that needs to be guarded over, it is useless now."
"A bell, dead silent when not moved, but can shake the sky when it rings. It is a musical instrument, and it resembles the time. Only those who wish to live for eternal likes to wield the bells, but I don't need eternity, I prefer a life filled with excitement. Even if that means I can only embrace a limited time in life."
"Stamp seal, it means the power of a mighty ruler. The human is weak, we can't even protect ourselves, what power is there to possess?"
"Boat, a vessel to the owner and passengers, brings them to luck and success. But how big can a boat be? It can only carry a limited amount of people, not a whole race, not the whole Fuxi Clan."
"A pagoda, stern and solemn, each level higher is stronger than the other. But the higher it goes, the smaller it gets. Only a few are able to be on the top, most can only live or stand in the lower levels. Just like the boat."
"Banners, they flutter in the winds and are Yin elemented in nature, just not my type."
"Mirror. Shine it on myself will be narcissism, shine it on the others are attacks. This feels real selfish. I don't like it."
"Cane, weapon toys of the monkeys and children."
"Needles, feels more girlish."
…
Zhong Yue listed out every possibility and considered them one after another. But he couldn't have made a decision still. When he has decided to forge a soul weapon of his own, he wanted one that he would wield for the rest of his life!
This soul weapon would follow him in every battle he would be in, it would be on his side no matter how stern the circumstances were. It would be able to reflect his indomitable will, to present his unyielding spirit. It could attack like the uncontended beast, protect like the impenetrable barrier, to be able to change like the kaleidoscope, and improve along with his growth.
But a soul weapon like this, it just sounded nearly impossible.
...
Zhong Yue stared at his hands and mumbled, "Sui Sovereign had left behind the fire of heritage, Shaohao left a bell that warns the world, Haoyi left the temperaments back; what can I leave for my future people? What sort of weapon should this pair of hands wield? I want to leave… a glorious era built from my hands, a weapon that I can use to breakthrough all of the obstacles in front of me!"
"That's why, I'd chose to wield a pair of sabers, a twin saber that cleaves through all that stands in my way!"
"When the two sabers come together, the Yin and Yang will coalesce as one power; when the twin saber is wield separately, one can be the celestial and the other the demon!"
"The demon saber will kill all evils, and the celestial saber will suppress all immorals! When the two comes together, I shall dominate all the others!"
"I don't need justice nor am I fond of righteousness, I don't have to convince the world with benevolence and virtues; all I need, and all I ask for, is an overbearing manner, to conquer and crush all my enemies with an unstoppable force, with my sheer strength!"
He has made his decision and was feeling relieved, he could feel something in him has been aroused all of a sudden, "Xin Huo, I want to forge a pair of sabers, the Celestial Demon Tai Chi Twin Saber!"
"Sabers?"
Xin Huo hopped up from the ground and started scratching his head, "Sabers… I can't help you in this. The inheritors I taught hitherto had forged many kinds of weapons, but the saber was an exception. I can guide or even teach you if you had chosen anything else, but just not the saber. From the ancient days until now, there weren't any strong figures who were known for wielding the sabers. There was even an inheritor who said those who wield the sabers are idiots and dumbs."
Zhong Yue laughed, "They couldn't have done it, doesn't mean I can't as well. How do I forge with this Golden Origin Water?"
"The Golden Origin Water is very pure, free from any purities. It took form between light and liquid, and is hard to be shaped, even harder to carved the totem patterns and infuse the psyches into it. First, you need to create a mold, then slowly drip the Golden Origin Water into it." Xin Huo mulled and said, "With your current prowess, it is impossible to carve the totem patterns and infuse your psyches into the Golden Origin Water; without the mold, there is no other way anymore. However, this mold can't be the ordinary divine gold too, even your Luminant Sun Gold and moon core won't work as well. They will also be assimilated and waste the invaluable Golden Origin Water. Not only that, you still have to extract them out from the Golden Origin Water after the moldings, further lowering the quality of the weapon forged. So, it is best to use something that has no shape!"
"Something that has no shape?", Zhong Yue's eyes brightened up, he took out the copper lamp and said while smiling, "The last time we were in the sun, I have collected a Solar Cosmic Ray and a Metamagnet Divine Ray, can these two rays be forged into the two sabers?"
"A Solar Saber and Metamagnetic Saber?", Xin Huo was shocked expressionless, he nodded blankly and said a few moments later, "The Solar Cosmic Ray and Metamagnet Divine Ray are shapeless objects, they are perfect to act as mold for the forgings of your twin saber. But these two rays are strong and incredibly fast, they aren't easy to capture and made into molds. Even more, there are risks in the process of subduing them."
Zhong Yue was shocked, his heart tightened up and asked, "How dangerous?"
Xin Huo winked his eyes and said diffidently, "Not really that dangerous, just a little, like the usual ones."2
Zhong Yue grew even more vigilant. Every time Xin Huo said it wasn't dangerous or it was only a little dangerous, it always meant it is a very, extremely, life-threatening danger. No matter what, he would have to be extremely cautious so as to not die in the so-called, a little dangerous action.
He opened the lamp lid and before he release the Solar Cosmic Ray, he stopped and closed it tight. Then, he took out Patriarch Nature's Six Paths Reincarnations and entered the Yin Yang Reincarnation.
Xin Huo watched and praised, "You are really cautious, now then, Swords Gate wouldn't be blasted and perforated with thousands of holes by the Solar Cosmic Ray."
"Thousands of holes…?", Zhong Yue shuddered in cold and heaved a breath of relief right after. He was about to open the lamp lid and stopped abruptly again. He walked out of the Yin Yang Reincarnation and left his mortal body on the outside.
Xin Huo sighed and lamented, "You are really smart, I was just hoping I can have a look on your perforated mortal body…"
"Now it should be safe, right?", Zhong Yue's Yuan Shen entered the Yin Yang Reincarnation and inhaled deeply. He released the Solar Cosmic Ray and prepared himself to capture it.
