Chapter 178 – Sword Spirit, Sword Domain


Meng Fan was a bit nervous, to be honest.

 

He had never imagined that he could forge a Sword Spirit, but with the recent experience of condensing a Sword Soul, he felt a bit more confident.

 

It was clear that the inheritance sword formation left by the Sword Immortal of Alchemy was aiding him.

 

With its help, he might truly turn the impossible into possible!

 

Meng Fan could understand the painstaking efforts of the Sword Immortal of Alchemy. By leaving this inheritance sword formation, he intended for the inheritor to experience the pinnacle of the Sword Dao in advance!

 

This would be of immense help to the inheritor's future cultivation.

 

After all, once someone has been led up the mountain, it becomes much easier to climb it on their own later.

 

Because they know the way!

 

Meng Fan no longer hesitated and began to merge the ten Sword Souls in one go.

 

The result was much simpler than he had imagined.

 

Just like when he was condensing the Sword Soul, a mysterious force appeared, assisting him in effortlessly condensing the Sword Spirit!

 

[Sword Spirit]

 

Meng Fan's heart surged with excitement!

 

He felt a sense of grand ambition. If he were to unleash this Sword Spirit, he was confident he could slay a cultivator at the Summoning God Realm.

 

Unfortunately, this was ultimately just the power of the inheritance sword formation.

 

Once he left the formation, he would revert to his original state and would not be able to condense the Sword Spirit.

 

However, with this experience, it would be much easier for him to condense a Sword Spirit once his cultivation level increased!

 

In any case, this was a good thing.

 

When Meng Fan successfully condensed this Sword Spirit, the two Sword Spirits did not attack each other this time.

 

It was clear that the inheritance sword formation knew that if the two Sword Spirits clashed, it could destroy the place!

 

"Hu…" Meng Fan took a deep breath.

 

Although this Sword Spirit was condensed with the help of the sword formation, it was still something he had personally condensed.

 

So at this moment, Meng Fan was still somewhat excited and thrilled.

 

But the inheritance sword formation did not give Meng Fan a chance to catch his breath.

 

Soon, another Sword Spirit began to condense in front of Meng Fan!

 

"Again???" Meng Fan was startled. To be honest, he was already a bit scared.

 

If this continued to "upgrade," it would be a bit too much.

 

It was simply crazy, shocking the world!

 

Ordinary cultivators had no idea what came after the Sword Soul and Sword Spirit in the development of the Sword Dao.

 

The highest they could hear about or imagine was the Sword Spirit.

 

What comes after the Sword Spirit?

 

They didn't know!

 

Even a Chosen Beauty like Ye Qingyu didn't know.

 

Because they were too far from the level of the Sword Spirit to come into contact with it.

 

Under normal circumstances, Meng Fan wouldn't know either.

 

Experts in the Sword Dao like Elder Lin naturally knew what came after the Sword Spirit, but they wouldn't explain it to Meng Fan prematurely.

 

The more talented a genius like Meng Fan was, the less they could afford to aim too high, or they might fall harder than others!

 

But Meng Fan didn't need anyone to explain it to him; he had a complete theoretical knowledge of the Sword Dao.

 

This theory came from the Sword God Stele!

 

[Primordial Great Way of the Sword]

 

When Meng Fan comprehended the Sword God Stele earlier, he had already fully understood the entire Great Way of the Sword.

 

So he was naturally clear about the framework of the Sword Dao.

 

Sword Qi, Sword Intent, Sword Momentum, Sword Soul, Sword Spirit, Sword God, Sword Domain, Sword Realm, Sword Dao…

 

Sword God: The Primordial Spirit of the Sword.

 

Sword Domain: The Domain of the Sword.

 

Sword Realm: The World of the Sword.

 

Sword Dao: The Great Way of the Sword.

 

In this world, the ultimate level a sword cultivator could reach was the Sword Domain.

 

Whether it was Sect Master Lin Jinghong of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect or Clan Master Li Fanchen of the Ghost King Sect, they were all at this level.

 

The Domain of the Sword!

 

Beyond that was the realm only Sword Immortals in the heavens could tread.

 

Shattering the void and ascending to the Immortal Realm, only then could one hope to continue pursuing the ultimate in the Sword Dao!

 

Meng Fan calmed his mind, as he had started to think too far ahead.

 

At this moment, the inheritance sword formation in front of him was still condensing the Sword Spirit.

 

Following the previous pattern, it was going to… condense a Sword God.

 

The Primordial Spirit of the Sword!

 

For someone at the small Heavenly Origin Realm like Meng Fan to attempt to touch the level of a [Sword God] was utterly laughable, a grand joke!

 

But with his previous experiences, Meng Fan was already used to it and remained extremely calm.

 

After all, although it sounded grand, it was the inheritance sword formation that was truly condensing the Sword Soul, Sword Spirit, and even the Primordial Spirit of the Sword.

 

In reality, he was just a tool; the formation was the one doing the work.

 

So at this moment, Meng Fan was completely calm and composed.

 

This inheritance sword formation was similar to the Sword God Stele.

 

The Sword God Stele had allowed him to "witness" the ultimate in the Sword Dao.

 

And this inheritance sword formation was letting him "experience" the ultimate in the Sword Dao!

 

Although neither could directly enhance Meng Fan's strength and realm, their help was immeasurable.

 

One had to admit, the Sword Immortal of Alchemy had truly put a lot of thought into this inheritance sword formation!

 

Meng Fan followed the sword formation and continued to condense the Sword Spirit.

 

If he could truly condense the Primordial Spirit of the Sword, or even the Domain of the Sword, it would be an immensely beneficial experience for him.

 

A good thing!

 

Soon, ten Sword Spirits were condensed.

 

Of course, this was mainly with the help of the inheritance. Meng Fan was embarrassed to claim he had done it himself.

 

Meng Fan stared unblinkingly at the ten Sword Spirits in front of him, watching as they began to merge.

 

It must be mentioned that it wasn't really possible to condense a Sword Soul with ten Sword Momentums, nor a Sword Spirit with ten Sword Souls.

 

In reality, if a sword cultivator tried this, they would inevitably fail.

 

The Sword Immortal of Alchemy used a special method in this inheritance sword formation to let the inheritor experience the formation of Sword Souls, Sword Spirits, and even Sword Gods.

 

Perhaps this inheritance sword formation inherently contained Sword Souls, Sword Spirits, and even Sword Gods.

 

Clang~~~~~~~ Just as Meng Fan was lost in thought, the ten merging Sword Spirits suddenly emitted a sharp Sword Song.

 

In the next second, the ten Sword Spirits shattered and dissipated into dust.

 

Meng Fan's expression changed, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

 

It was clear that condensing the Primordial Spirit of the Sword had failed!

 

With a wave of his hand, he dissipated the ten Sword Spirits in front of him.

 

These ten Sword Spirits were at least "superficially" condensed by him, so he still had the ability to dissipate them.

 

Since the "sword formation teacher" in front of him had failed to condense the Primordial Spirit of the Sword, it was even more impossible for him, the student, to succeed by imitating it. So there was no need to try.

 

"Sigh~" Meng Fan sighed.

 

He had hoped to experience the terror of the Primordial Spirit of the Sword, but now it seemed hopeless.

 

To be honest, it was a bit disappointing.

 

Many things, once you have expectations, you will have disappointments; this is unavoidable.

 

From the current perspective, Meng Fan thought it was probably because this inheritance sword formation had been around for too long.

 

After eight hundred years, it had undoubtedly lost a lot of energy.

 

If he had come here a few hundred years earlier, perhaps Meng Fan could have truly experienced the wonders of the Primordial Spirit of the Sword and the Domain of the Sword.

 

What a pity…
