I Can Reincarnate Infinitely
Chapter 221 - 217: Recording That World-Shocking Sword StrikeAfter Du Youqian executed that sword strike, he had the faint sense that the Spring and Autumn Brush had recorded something.
He quickly took out a blank Jade Scroll, placed the Spring and Autumn Brush on it, and channeled his Magical Power, trying to activate the brush’s "recording" function.
A crisp DING! echoed.
It wasn’t a system starting up.
Instead, a deep crack appeared on the Jade Scroll, nearly running across its entire length.
This valuable Jade Scroll was now ruined.
’Is the recording function temporarily unavailable? Or...’ Du Youqian pondered silently for a moment.
’No, it’s more like the material of this Jade Scroll is insufficient to bear the information it was about to record, which is why it broke.’
After examining the Jade Scroll from all angles, Du Youqian reached this conclusion.
There were, in fact, many types of Jade Scrolls.
The one Du Youqian had just used was a common type, made from Tier One "Yellow Spot Warm Jade." Many smaller Sects typically used this kind of Jade Scroll to record Cultivation Techniques and Secret Techniques.
Higher tiers included Jade Scrolls made from Tier Two "Qiutian Palace Jade" and Tier Three "Flower Cyan Gang Jade."
Jade Scrolls made from high-tier jade could store information for much longer and were less prone to the information within being lost.
Therefore, they were often used to store more important records, such as ancient texts, predecessors’ notes, Cultivation Techniques, and Secret Techniques.
Du Youqian, naturally, was not short on Flower Cyan Gang Jade.
Crafting a Jade Scroll was not a difficult task for him.
So he immediately got to work, crafting a Jade Scroll from Flower Cyan Gang Jade and once again attempting to "record" with the Spring and Autumn Brush.
DING!
The crisp sound came again, and this time, the Tier Three Jade Scroll also developed a crack.
’This can’t be right.’
’Could it be that even Flower Cyan Gang Jade can’t bear the information of a single strand of my Sword Intent?’
After all, Flower Cyan Gang Jade was a material used to forge Treasures.
Du Youqian certainly thought his Sword Intent was powerful, but no matter how powerful, it was still limited by his Cultivation. It wasn’t so strong that it could shatter a Treasure.
If even the material used to make Treasures couldn’t withstand his Sword Intent, his Jinhuan Sword would have been destroyed long ago.
’But wait...’ An idea suddenly flashed through Du Youqian’s mind. ’Who’s to say that what the Spring and Autumn Brush recorded was the Sword Intent I just released?’
’Couldn’t it be something it recorded earlier?’
’For example, back in the Cyan Yang Sect, that world-shocking strike from Senior Blood Slaughter Sword?’
At this thought, Du Youqian’s heart pounded with excitement.
That day, the strike from Senior Blood Slaughter Sword had been so vivid it was as if it had been branded onto his retinas.
He had originally planned to savor that memory and study it often.
But after he left the Cyan Yang Sect’s Secret Realm and tried to recall that strike, he found that the world-shocking sword move seemed to have been erased from his mind by an invisible eraser.
All that remained in his mind was an impression: that strike was powerful. Incredibly powerful.
But how exactly was it powerful?
He couldn’t remember.
It was as if... that strike was too sharp, too far beyond his comprehension.
To keep his CPU from burning out, his brain had activated some sort of self-preservation mechanism and deleted that scene from his memory.
So he only remembered that Senior Blood Slaughter Sword had made a move, wiping out all the enemies with a single strike and foiling the Cyan Yang Sect members’ plot of Transforming Illusion into Truth.
But as for what that strike was actually like, he simply couldn’t recall it no matter how he tried.
If the Spring and Autumn Brush had recorded that strike and stored it in a Jade Scroll...
...allowing him to take it out and comprehend it from time to time...
Even if he could only grasp one ten-thousandth of that strike, his Swordsmanship would advance by leaps and bounds.
’However...’ Du Youqian furrowed his brow, troubled. ’If what the Spring and Autumn Brush has recorded really is Blood Slaughter Sword’s strike...’
’Then what kind of material would be sufficient to contain it?’
’Would Tier Four work?’
’Would Tier Five be enough?’
In Momenan, there were no Cultivators at Tier Four or above.
And very few possessed Cultivation Techniques of Tier Four or higher.
However, there were some Treasures of Heaven and Earth at Tier Four and above.
This was all information Du Youqian learned after becoming a True Inheritor.
It was just that, with the current strength of Momenan’s Cultivators, they had no way to properly utilize Treasures of Heaven and Earth of Tier Four or higher.
Therefore, even if a Gemstone Vein of Tier Four or above was discovered, the Taihe and Holy Blood Sects would seal it off and forbid any mining.
If they discovered Tier Four or higher Spirit Grass or Spirit Fruits, they would be harvested and preserved to avoid waste.
And any scattered High Tier Materials that were found would also be stored in the vaults of the Taihe and Holy Blood Sects.
Du Youqian recalled seeing that Tier Four and Tier Five jade were available for exchange in the Holy Blood Sect when he had previously browsed the materials.
Of course, the listed prices were naturally exorbitant.
Moreover, most people wouldn’t exchange for them—even a Tier Four Artifact Refining Master would struggle to handle a Tier Five jade.
Trying to refine a Tier Five jade into a Treasure?
It would probably destroy the Treasure before it was even fully formed.
But that didn’t apply to Du Youqian.
The process of making a Jade Scroll wasn’t complicated.
Even though he was only a Tier Three Artifact Refining Master, he could still manage to refine a Tier Five jade into a Jade Scroll.
’But, is it really worth it?’
Recalling the Relics of the Cyan Yang Sect, where countless Core Formation, Nascent Soul, and even Divinity Transformation old monsters had vanished into thin air under that single sword strike, where the overwhelming army of the Demon Race had crumbled to dust... Du Youqian knew what choice he had to make.
This wasn’t a question of whether it was worth it or not.
Since the opportunity to possibly record the Sword Intent of that strike was right in front of him, he had to take it immediately, no matter the cost!
However, Du Youqian’s current Sect Contribution was definitely not enough.
Furthermore, considering he needed to support Fang Hua and Luo Jinyu in their Core Formation, he likely wouldn’t be able to gather enough Sect Contribution to buy the Tier Five jade anytime soon, much to his regret.
~~~~~~~~~
When Du Youqian had consolidated his Cultivation and emerged from his seclusion, Fang Hua and Luo Jinyu were waiting for him in a pavilion outside.
In truth, Luo Jinyu and Gu Xiaofang both had their own cave residences; only Fang Hua had always lived by Du Youqian’s side.
It was just that when Du Youqian was preparing for his Core Formation, he had sent everyone out of the cave residence, so Fang Hua had temporarily borrowed an empty one to continue her own cultivation.
Once Du Youqian successfully achieved Core Formation, Fang Hua naturally moved back in.
Du Youqian gave her a gentle smile, sat down on a stone bench in the pavilion, and asked Luo Jinyu, "Junior Luo, our last meeting was rushed, and I didn’t have time to ask about many things. Did Meng Xiao succeed in his Core Formation?"
Luo Jinyu shook his head.
Du Youqian’s heart sank. "Is he okay?"
The corners of Fang Hua’s lips curved up slightly.
Du Youqian immediately understood and said with a half-scolding laugh, "So you’ve learned to play tricks on people, have you?"
Luo Jinyu laughed. "Forgive me, Senior Brother. I wasn’t trying to deceive you. I shook my head to express that you shouldn’t even have to ask. Do you have no faith in Meng Xiao?"
Du Youqian chuckled. "Where is he then?"
Luo Jinyu said, "A while ago, some Relics opened up. There were supposed to be items inside that would be beneficial for a Ghost Cultivator, so Meng Xiao led a team there."
Du Youqian looked around. "And Xiaogu? I didn’t see him on the day of my Core Formation."
Luo Jinyu’s expression darkened.
