An Unexpected Fifth Earth True Qi Flying Sword
Apart from Yang Chen and those from the Greatest Heaven Sect, there weren't any other people that knew about what had happened. However, Ming Guangruo, Mao Qi and the rest of them were living in extreme fear.
Although the destined weapons had lost the connections with their owners, for the time being, it seemed that they hadn't been refined by someone else yet. Judging from that point, it could only prove that someone had used an unknown way to cut off the connection between the destined weapons with their owners, but without the ability to refine them.
If all those destined weapons were refined, then the behaviours of them would be exactly like those that had lost their destined weapons, experiencing a severe damage at the spiritual awareness. Since they weren't having any changes in person, it could only prove that their destined weapons hadn't been refined.
Though worried, there were still hope in them. Since the opposition was able to cut off the connections of the destined weapons with their owners but without the ability to refine them, it meant that the opposition was surely using some sort of magical treasure to do that and certainly the cultivation stage of the enemy would be low. If they were able to recover their destined weapons on time, then the impairment of the Greatest Heaven Sect wouldn't be that huge.
Since all the conditions of the fourteen Yuanying stage ancestors were fine, it naturally proved that the opposition that stole their destined weapons couldn't even refine the destined weapon of a Yuanying stage. Thus, the cultivation stage of the opposition was certainly lower than Yuanying stage.
With all these thoughts in their mind, it seemed that there were still hope to recover their destined weapons and all that they had to do was to find out the real culprit. Judging from the situation of that night when the destined weapons had vanished, the distance between them and the culprit wasn't that far away and those from the Greatest Heaven Sect hadn't even slacken their surveillance on that piece of land for a bit. Despite that, even if they had searched the whole area thoroughly, they still couldn't find out any traces that was left behind.
Anyhow, everything would be fine if there was still hope for them. Just when the crowd from the Greatest Heaven Sect was losing their patience after one month of thorough investigation at the exact same area, a sudden changes began to happen.
Elder Ming who initially thought that their enemy didn't have the ability to refine their destined weapons suddenly split out bloods from his mouth and fainted over.
The whole crowd became panicked and hurriedly gave Elder Ming first aid. After feeding him with a legendary spirit pill, Elder Ming soon woke up. The first sentence that Elder Ming shouted in sorrow was, "My flying sword!"
Everyone instantly understood the meaning to his words— the destined weapon of Elder Ming was being refined, where it forcefully peeled off the spiritual awareness that was connecting both the destined weapon and Elder Ming.
Upon experiencing a severe damage to the spiritual awareness, it had triggered the spirit power within his body to devour himself, causing him to split out blood directly. Nevertheless, such damage wouldn't have been able to knock Elder Ming unconscious and the main reason for him to faint was basically because of the pain that he felt in heart. After all, his flying sword that had been refined for several thousands years had been forcefully taken away in a day time, causing his cultivation to decrease by several folds. It definitely would be weird if one who experienced something like this not to grief.
With Elder Ming experiencing such a huge loss, the rest of the crowd was even more shocked. It wasn't that the opposition who didn't have to ability to refine their destined weapons, it turned out to be that the culprit was focusing solely on refining the destined weapon of Elder Ming. In fact, that would mean that the remaining fourteen destined weapons of Mao Qi and the rest wouldn't be able to escape the fate of getting refined by someone else.
Instantly, the facial expressions of Mao Qi and the rest changed. They were finally getting a taste on their destined weapons being stripped away directly from them. Although it wasn't their turn yet, they had already feel the fear coming directly from their heart.
Who would have thought that their retribution were coming back to them so quickly. It hadn't even been a month since they forced the seventeen disciples from the Pure Yang Palace to withdraw their destined weapons from their consciousness sea, causing them to abandon several ten years of their cultivation. Nevertheless, sooner or later all of them would be tasting their own medicine. Not to mention, their one and only Dacheng stage expert in the crowd had already pay for what he had done.
There were even a few of them that immediately began to doubt the Pure Yang Palace. With Liang Shaoming detonated the monastery gate of the Pure Yang Palace, several ten years later, the same thing happened to the Greatest Heaven Sect, where they even sacrificed ten of thousands of lives along the detonation of their monastery gate. Not to mention Ming Guangruo and the rest that had forced the disciples of Pure Yang Palace to abandon several ten years of the cultivation of seventeen disciples, they were experiencing the same misfortune in just an instant. Could it be that they were the plans of the Pure Yang Palace?
Although they were doubting, no one dared to questioned the Pure Yang Palace directly. In fact, the overall strength of Pure Yang Palace could never be able to compete with those of the Greatest Heaven Sect. Even with the Island Master of Green Jade Immortal Island present, the Pure Yang Palace still had to bear the humiliation from the Greatest Heaven Sect, allowing their disciples to followed the order of the Greatest Heaven Sect. If the Pure Yang Palace actually had the ability to take revenge, then they wouldn't have been so useless back then.
Cultivation was supposed to be filled with joy, without any thoughts that would interrupt one's cultivation progress. With the Pure Yang Palace being so useless while facing the Greatest Heaven Sect, that would definitely be bad for their cultivation. Moreover, if Pure Yang Palace had the ability, they might had already exterminated everyone from the Greatest Heaven Sect. With the capability of collecting the destined weapons controlled by Dacheng experts at anytime, even in battle, they would be unbeatable. What else was there to be fear of?
All those from the Greatest Heaven Sect were as if they had gone crazy, while Yang Chen on the other hand was happily admiring the flying sword of Ming Guangruo. Ming Guangruo was an earth attributed cultivator, and naturally it was the same for his flying sword. What surprised Yang Chen the most was that the flying sword of Ming Guangruo was actually a fifth earth attribute flying sword.
The materials that were used to refine the flying sword was none other than a top graded backbone of an earth attributed dragon with the mixture of a strand of a Swelling Earth acting as a supplement for the flying sword. Not to mention, the flying sword was also refined with numerous types of rare materials. With several thousand of years took to refine the flying stop continuously, the flying sword was already very close on becoming the best flying sword.
Only sect like the Greatest Heaven Sect that was so wealthy and arrogant would be able to find something so rare like the Swelling Earth. There was even a myth saying that there was a man named Gun-Yu who used a magical substance(Swelling Earth) to stop a flood. Although there were only a strand of it, it could already prevent the flying sword from wearing out. Even if there was just a slight damage to the flying sword, it would slowly recover, becoming like a brand new flying sword. Without doubt, the strength of the flying sword was definitely formidable and unrivaled.
[Side story in regard to Swelling Earth and the myth of Gun-Yu:
According to some, the Gun-Yu Great Flood happened at a time when Emperor Yao ruled the region. It is said that he appointed his cousin Gun to manage the flood when it was unleashed. Gun agreed to carry out the monumental task, and quickly outlined his plans to do so. He endeavoured to use a magical substance to stop the flood.
So, he started by stealing this substance called Xirang, which was also known as "Swelling Earth" because it could grow through self-expansion. Xirang is often mentioned in Chinese mythology. It belonged to Shangdi, the being considered as the Supreme Deity of the people of that time. With the Xirang, Gun constructed a number of dams to prevent the flood from overcoming the populations, but to no avail. The dams would all eventually crumble. This situation persisted for nearly a decade, and ultimately, Emperor Yao appointed another relative of his, Shun, as co-emperor. Shun attempted to boost the efforts to stop the flood. However, this also proved to be unfruitful, and Gun had still not been successful in holding back the waters. He was later banished by Shun, and was replaced by his own son, Yu.
Yu was able to do what others could not achieve: his efforts proved to be effective in stopping the floods. He had introduced drainage systems which successfully kept the water at bay.] Source from: https://www.legendsandmyths.net/chinese-great-flood-of-gun-yu-myth-explained/
With such a great thing in hands, Yang Chen would naturally be glad to accept it. In the collections of the Great Yin and Yang Five Phases Flying Swords, Yang Chen was still lacking of a fifth earth flying sword and he could definitely replace the empty slot with the fifth earth flying sword of Ming Guangruo.
Skyhowl had fully digested all the unformed spirits of the flying sword along with the spiritual awareness of Ming Guangruo, cleansing all the impurities contained in the flying sword. The abilities of Skyhowl to devour spirits of magical treasures had truly brought an fearful effects that none could imagine.
Since Yang Chen wanted to use the fifth earth flying sword of Ming Guangruo, naturally Yang Chen would have to change its appearance. Despite that, changing the look of the flying sword posed not much of a problem to Yang Chen at all.
Despite the Yin and Yang Burning Flame being low in level, Yang Chen had several types of fifth grade flame seeds in his Profound Spirit Furnace. Taking turns in refining the flying sword with different flame seeds, only a few months time were taken for the look of the fifth earth flying sword to change completely. Even if the flying sword was now placed at the front of Ming Guangruo, it would be impossible for him to identify that it was initially his destined weapon without probing with his spiritual awareness.
The initial level of the fifth earth flying sword was sufficient, for the time being, Yang Chen didn't have the ability to refine it. Thus, Yang Chen kept the fifth earth flying sword directly into his consciousness sea, burying it deep into the layer of the fifth earth and refine it as a destined weapon.
While Yang Chen was changing the appearance of the fifth earth flying sword, all the remaining fourteen flying swords left behind by Mao Qi and the rest were being digested thoroughly by Skyhowl, leaving no trace of any spiritual awareness or the spirits of the flying swords behind.
All the fourteen Yuanying experts from the Greatest Heaven Sect were as if they were lining up, spitting out blood one after one. Every ten days, there would be one of them that would suffer from severe injuries and naturally none was excluded. Facing such a huge pressure, all those that were waiting for their turns to bear the consequences had fallen into a state of despair.
