I Can Reincarnate Infinitely

Chapter 210 - 206: Sword Intent of the Blood Slaughter Sword Scripture

Chongxu Master, Yu Ming Master, and Lotus Leaf Master had all rotated out and left.

Replacing them to continue garrisoning the Desolate Abyss were Master Wu Gong of the Taihe Sect, Tongming Master of the Lingxiao Sword Sect, and... Master Qingqiu of the Heavenly Emotions and Oceanic Resentments Sect.

Greeting them warmly were several gatherings organized by Du Youqian, as well as his invitations to spar.

Without damaging his Outer Pill Origin, Du Youqian, who was a Great Realm behind, still found it difficult to achieve a single victory, but no one dared to underestimate him.

In the end, however, Du Youqian finally secured his first victory, then a second... and kept on winning in his spars against Master Qingqiu.

But from Master Qingqiu’s perspective, who had truly won or lost? That was another matter entirely.

At this point, Du Youqian’s garrison duty was halfway over.

In another five years, he could return to the Sect and begin attempting Core Formation.

Over the past five years, in the harsh environment of the Desolate Abyss, Du Youqian felt his Magical Power become increasingly condensed and pure. He felt like a gemstone that had been polished, growing ever more translucent and brilliant.

These were all greatly beneficial for Core Formation.

’Even without a Core Formation Spiritual Object or a Core Formation Secret Technique,’ he thought, ’my success rate for Core Formation should be around fifteen percent now.’

「Inside Du Youqian’s room in the temporary cave residence.」

He hadn’t lit a lamp and was staring at the Stone Egg in his palm.

Before coming to the Desolate Abyss, Du Youqian had thought the Stone Egg would have a violent reaction.

After all, the Stone Egg was what that Fox Demon Zombie had brought out from the Desolate Abyss.

But in this, he had miscalculated.

The Stone Egg showed no special reaction.

However, after absorbing the Essence Blood of that Monkey Demon King—or perhaps an Ape Demon Emperor—the Stone Egg had maintained a high level of activity, as if it were about to hatch.

But something was missing, and the little life inside couldn’t break out of the shell.

Du Youqian had considered whether he should open the Stone Egg himself.

But he quickly dismissed the idea.

’An egg opened from the inside is a hatching,’ he mused. ’But one opened from the outside can only become food.’

He didn’t want the Stone Egg, which he had spent so much time, energy, and Spiritual Jade to nurture, to be ruined by him at the final step.

That would be too great a pity.

Besides, it supposedly contained a Great Sage Bloodline.

Du Youqian had only a very vague idea of what a "Great Saint" was.

The other Core Formation Masters were also vague about it.

He guessed it wasn’t that they were deliberately hiding it, but that they simply didn’t know either.

In any case, a Demon King referred to a Core Formation or Nascent Soul demon, and a Demon Emperor was definitely above the Nascent Soul Realm.

’A Great Saint... perhaps it corresponds to a True Immortal of the Human Race?’

Those concepts were too far removed from Du Youqian; speculation was meaningless.

It was like a peasant imagining the Emperor used a golden hoe to plow his fields, drinking two bowls of porridge at every meal—one to drink, and one to pour out.

So Du Youqian quickly extinguished these thoughts and focused on the present.

He spent most of his time each day comprehending Sword Intent.

The Blood Slaughter Sword Scripture was vast and profound.

Although this Blood Slaughter Sword Scripture was clearly incomplete, with much left unsaid, it still surpassed the *Evergreen Master’s Immortal Sword Scripture Record* by a considerable margin.

Du Youqian felt that he would soon be able to comprehend a second Sword Intent from the Blood Slaughter Sword Scripture, besides "Blood Sacrifice."

When sparring with Tongming Master of the Lingxiao Sword Pavilion, the other man had confirmed this.

"Your comprehension of the Blood Slaughter Sword Scripture is very deep. It seems you’re about to comprehend a second Sword Intent."

Tongming Master said after retracting his Sword Pill.

As a Core Formation Master of the Sword Dao, he was extremely sensitive to his opponent’s Sword Dao Cultivation.

Du Youqian also put away his Jinhuan sword and asked with a smile, "Why the second?"

Tongming Master gave him a serious look. "Because you have clearly already comprehended ’Blood Sacrifice.’ Most people who comprehend the Blood Slaughter Sword Scripture start with ’Blood Sacrifice,’ aside from a few who walk an unorthodox path, and you are clearly not that type of person. I have been cultivating for four hundred years and have been in Core Formation for over two hundred and eighty. Do not doubt my judgment. Please, sit!"

After they were seated, Du Youqian probed, "Master, you seem to know a great deal about the Blood Slaughter Sword Scripture."

The corners of Tongming Master’s mouth twitched into what passed for a smile. "My sect was founded on the Sword Dao, so we have some understanding of the swordsmanship of Momenan. Moreover, the Blood Slaughter Sword Scripture has an inheritance stretching back over ten thousand years. Many of my sect’s predecessors have fought with predecessors of the Demon Blood Sect who cultivated the Blood Slaughter Sword Scripture, and records of this naturally exist."

’This man... casually calling them the "Demon Blood Sect." He’s so blunt.’

Du Youqian pretended not to hear.

’It’s just a name, what does it matter?’

Tongming Master looked like a robust man in his forties or fifties, with a strong and powerful build.

His stern, squarish face featured a pair of slender, upturned eyes and a goatee on his chin.

Decades ago, all the sects except for the Taihe, Holy Blood, and Heavenly Emotions and Oceanic Resentments Sects had lost Core Formation Masters.

The Red Lotus Sect had even lost two, nearly causing them to drop in status.

Of course, since it was the Blood Slaughter Sword that had acted, and with a righteous justification, they only grumbled in private. No one dared to protest loudly.

At the time, all the sects felt that their strength had been severely damaged.

Only the Lingxiao Sword Pavilion didn’t seem to care.

They spread the word: as long as Tongming Master was around, the Lingxiao Sword Pavilion would still be the Lingxiao Sword Pavilion.

He reached the Golden Core Middle Stage within two hundred and eighty years of Core Formation; his Sword Dao cultivation was heaven-piercing, and it was said he had once fought five Core Formation cultivators alone without being defeated.

This was the legend of Tongming Master.

Du Youqian probed again, "Master, you must have been a peerless prodigy of your generation. I wonder why you weren’t sent to the outside world."

This was an abrupt, out-of-context question that a typical Core Formation Master would absolutely not understand.

But Tongming Master understood.

He shook his head. "Because in that generation... there was someone stronger than me. I willingly conceded defeat."

The two did not continue on this topic, as Tongming Master quickly changed the subject. "Young friend, what you are about to comprehend should be the ’Blood Food’ Sword Intent."

Du Youqian nodded.

Of course, he was perfectly clear about his own situation.

The "Blood Sacrifice" Sword Intent was used against multiple opponents, ideally with some weaker ones among them.

After killing the weaker opponents with the Sword Intent, one would use them as a Blood Sacrifice to continuously enhance the Sword Intent, even allowing it to surpass a Great Tier, in order to slay the final, powerful enemy.

Du Youqian had not yet fully comprehended the "Blood Food" Sword Intent, but he understood its function from reading the classics.

It was an enhancement-type Sword Intent.

It allowed one to use the souls of those slain by the sword as Blood Food to replenish oneself, rapidly recovering injuries, Magical Power, Divine Sense, and so on. It also had an enhancing effect similar to the Blood Burning Art, but without a price—the price had already been paid by the souls of the slain.

In short, anything produced by the Blood Slaughter Sword Scripture was of the highest quality.

"Once you comprehend the ’Blood Food’ Sword Intent, young friend, you will be able to truly contend with an ordinary Core Formation Early Stage Cultivator. I wonder what kind of magnificent presence you’ll have after your own Core Formation? And in the future, will you perhaps comprehend a Sword Dao Divine Ability?"

Du Youqian smiled. "My magnificent presence after Core Formation? Master, simply recall your own presence at the time, reduce it by twenty or thirty percent, and that will be what I am like."

A stiff smile appeared on Tongming Master’s stern face. "You are too modest, young friend. You are far more than just twenty or thirty percent stronger than I was before my Core Formation. However, you still have a considerable ways to go to catch up to those prodigies that appear only once every few centuries. You must know, such prodigies can comprehend Divine Abilities while still in the Foundation Establishment Realm."

There was no good response to that.

Du Youqian felt ashamed of his inferiority.

’However, if I were to reincarnate, I could master three types of Sword Intent in the Qi Cultivation Realm. I wouldn’t necessarily be inferior to those prodigies.’

But Du Youqian didn’t plan to walk the path of a pure Sword Cultivator.

Such a pure and extreme path didn’t suit him; it wouldn’t allow him to fully leverage his advantage of infinite reincarnation.

Once he solved the problem of his reincarnation limits and could truly reincarnate infinitely, Du Youqian planned to spend dozens of lifetimes polishing all the Cultivation Techniques and mastering all kinds of Magic until they were perfect.

’At that time, I’ll have full Spirit Roots, be a Master of All Techniques, and all my Cultivation Techniques will be Tier Four or higher...’

’Wouldn’t every reincarnation then be like the birth of a Saint?’

’The future is too distant. I must live in the present.’

The days repeated one after another. Only the growing clarity of his Sword Intent comprehension or the mastery of a new Secret Technique startled Du Youqian into realizing just how much time had passed.

「On this day, the supply Flying Boat from the Holy Blood Sect arrived.」

Luo Jinyu leaped from the Flying Boat. Gazing into the distance, he couldn’t see a speck of green.

It wasn’t just a lack of green; outside the area of the temporary cave residences, the entire world was a deep, monotonous brown.

He had once garrisoned the Evil Pool in the borderlands and had thought it was the most desolate and barren place in the world. The ceaseless, sand-laden wind was the thing he detested most.

Only now did he understand that there was an even more desolate place.

’The Desolate Abyss... I’m afraid that even the most determined ascetics with the firmest Dao Hearts couldn’t stay garrisoned here for long. Your Dao Heart would truly collapse.’

After seeing Du Youqian, Luo Jinyu first bowed respectfully, then presented him with a Jade Scroll and two Jade Slips.

"Brother Yu, this is what Chun Xiao Master asked me to bring. This slip is from Meng Xiao, who asked me to give it to you."

Du Youqian took them and first extended his Divine Sense into the Jade Slip from Feng Xiaoyi.

A blurry image of Feng Xiaoyi appeared in his sea of consciousness. Her tone was as it always was, seemingly prim and proper but with a hidden flirtatiousness. "My good disciple, you’re serving ten years in the Desolate Abyss for your master. Such filial piety is commendable. But it has delayed your own Core Formation, and for ten years you cannot accumulate Contribution Points. Your master cannot bear to treat you unfairly, so I have specially exchanged for the sect’s finest Core Formation Secret Technique for you. I hope you will study it well. When you return from the Desolate Abyss, you can form your core in one go and attain long life."

He then checked the Jade Scroll, which did indeed contain a Core Formation Secret Technique.

He had seen it back in the Collection Room; it required about twenty years’ worth of a True Disciple’s Contribution Points to exchange for it.

He had been worried before. His own accumulation was sufficient, but he still needed to spend a great deal of time and effort to obtain a Core Formation Spiritual Object and a Core Formation Secret Technique.

Of course, as a True Inheritor, he could apply for a "loan" from the Sect, but the cost was not small. He would have to spend a lot of time in the future completing extra sect missions and the like.

As for life-saving items, he wasn’t worried. He could exchange for Pill Formulas and refine them himself.

The key issues were the expensive Core Formation Spiritual Object and Core Formation Secret Technique.

He hadn’t expected his master to be so generous.

Although he had given Feng Xiaoyi a considerable amount in return over the years.

But on the whole, Feng Xiaoyi had still helped him more.
