I Can Reincarnate Infinitely
Chapter 250 - 245: The Condition for Comprehending the Complete Blood Slaughter Sword ScriptureWind!
Such a strong wind!
Du Youqian had made his decision. He would brave the danger, ready to immediately use "Quick Passage"—burning away the rest of his lifespan to reincarnate—if anything went wrong. After spending two Spiritual Diamonds to travel via the Teleportation Array to the depths of the Desolate Desert, the first thing to greet him was a face full of wind and sand.
Compared to this, the sandstorms he had previously experienced in the Desolate Abyss and the Evil Pool, both on the edge of the Desolate Desert, were child’s play.
Du Youqian had seen typhoons in his life from many, many lifetimes ago, but compared to the sandstorms of the Desolate Abyss, what was a mere typhoon?
A typhoon could topple houses and lift cars into the air.
But in the sandstorms of the Desolate Abyss, an ordinary person’s flesh and blood would be scoured away in moments, leaving only a skeleton. A little longer, and even the bones would be gone. Even a Foundation Establishment Cultivator would find it hard to open their eyes in such a storm, forced to constantly protect themselves with Magic or a Spiritual Artifact.
Here in the depths of the Desolate Desert, however, the sandstorm’s intensity was comparable to the power of a spell from a Perfect Foundation Establishment Cultivator—and it was constant, its energy never-ending.
A Foundation Establishment Cultivator thrown in here would die, with absolutely no chance of survival. Even a Core Formation Cultivator would struggle to last long.
Du Youqian estimated he could last half an hour, maybe an hour at most, before he would be overwhelmed.
The Little Monkey, on the other hand, simply activated one of its Divine Abilities, and the wind and sand could not get near it.
It disliked the feeling of grit getting into its fur.
Du Youqian had originally wanted to check on the passage Feng Xiaoyi had mentioned, but when he saw the spatial rifts flickering in and out of existence within the distant sandstorm, he had second thoughts.
’He knew this place was fraught with peril and that he had to be careful—extremely careful. He couldn’t do anything reckless, or he might perish before he even had a chance to activate "Quick Passage".’
So, he stopped wandering around and returned to the Teleportation Array, crouching down to inspect it carefully.
The Little Monkey pretended to inspect it with him.
Well, thanks to Feng Xiaoyi’s profound skill in Arrays and the sturdy materials she used, it was still usable for now.
But looking at the crisscrossing cracks and scratches on the Teleportation Array, Du Youqian estimated that if they were lucky, it might hold out for another thousand years. If not, it could be gone in two or three hundred.
’It needs to be repaired and reinforced.’
’But my own skill in Arrays isn’t that advanced yet... I’ll have to ask Feng Xiaoyi to do it.’
He patted Little Wukong on his shoulder. "One day, I’ll take you out of here, to a much wider world."
The Little Monkey chirped, "CHIRP CHIRP CHIRP." Although it didn’t really know what a "much wider world" was, or where "out of here" meant, it was filled with anticipation.
It was always seeking out new and interesting things.
For it to be like a Human Race Cultivator—spending all day in seclusion, meditating, and staying in one place—would be utter torture.
Du Youqian cast one last, regretful look toward the passage that supposedly led to the outside world, then spent another two Spiritual Diamonds and teleported back.
When he went to find Feng Xiaoyi, a wall of air blocked him at her door. Feng Xiaoyi’s charming and languid voice drifted out, "I’m still busy, my dear disciple. Feel free to walk around on your own."
A mere wall of air certainly couldn’t stop Du Youqian, but since he hadn’t had a complete falling out with Feng Xiaoyi, he wouldn’t force his way in. He simply said coolly, "I need to return to the Sect as soon as possible. There is an important matter that requires my participation. Master, could you please hurry?"
"Be patient."
Du Youqian took the monkey to the courtyard to watch the koi fish.
After the time it takes for two incense sticks to burn, Feng Xiaoyi emerged, having changed into an intricate palace gown. She walked with graceful elegance, a pensive expression on her face.
"Master, are you finished with your business?"
Feng Xiaoyi sighed, nodded, then shook her head. Looking a little forlorn, she evaded the question. "Weren’t you in a hurry to return to the Sect? Can you tell your Master what’s so important?"
’Du Youqian considered his words. He and Feng Xiaoyi now shared a great secret; they were in the same boat, so to speak.’
’If he continued to keep things from her, he was afraid it would disappoint her deeply.’
’After all, she wasn’t like Fang Hua or Luo Jinyu. She had always presented herself as superior and assertive in his presence; she wouldn’t take kindly to a change in that dynamic.’
So, Du Youqian spoke vaguely, "With the recent turmoil in the Desolate Abyss and the Demon Race running rampant in the Nine Countries of Momenan Desert, Elder Shi has analyzed that this is likely a diversion. A powerful enemy is expected to appear soon. An enemy of that caliber will require us to call upon Senior Blood Slaughter Sword. But Senior Blood Slaughter Sword is currently dormant and self-repairing. A high price must be paid to make him act. I need to go back and keep an eye on things, to make sure my people aren’t sacrificed needlessly."
Feng Xiaoyi gasped. "Are you sure? An enemy that can only be dealt with by Senior Blood Slaughter Sword?"
Du Youqian gave her a strange look. "Of course."
The expression on Feng Xiaoyi’s face was a mixture of shock and fear.
After a long moment, she said, "My disciple, do you have any idea what this means?"
Du Youqian frowned in thought and said uncertainly, "That the enemy is very strong?"
A mocking smile touched Feng Xiaoyi’s full, red lips. "Strong is an understatement. It means they are so powerful that even this world cannot suppress them. Otherwise, even a Tier Five Great Power, who could annihilate all the Cultivators in Momenan with a single breath, would be suppressed to Tier Three by the Power of the World upon entering Momenan. A very formidable Tier Three, mind you, but theoretically still vulnerable to being surrounded and killed by a group of Core Formation Cultivators."
"But if Senior Blood Slaughter Sword absolutely must intervene, it means the opponent is at least Tier Six. Only a Great Power of that level, nearing Ascension, is beyond this Small World’s ability to suppress and must be dealt with by him."
Du Youqian wasn’t surprised.
’It was a Great Saint Incarnation, after all. He would have found it strange if it wasn’t at least Tier Six.’
He adopted a respectful tone. "Your analysis is very logical, Master. That must be it."
Feng Xiaoyi, that old fox, naturally saw through his insincerity. In a departure from her usual style, she raised a sleeve to cover her smile. "My dear disciple, you shouldn’t be so dismissive. When Senior Blood Slaughter Sword acts, it is truly a world-shaking event."
As she spoke, she began to study Du Youqian intently, looking him over before shaking her head.
Her large, moist, and alluring eyes made Du Youqian a little uncomfortable. "Master, if you have something to say, just say it."
Feng Xiaoyi’s large, dark-plum-like eyes darted around a few times. "I was just thinking... my disciple, you’ve cultivated the Blood Slaughter Sword Scripture and seem to have made some minor achievements, having comprehended two Sword Intents."
"Yes." Du Youqian didn’t mention that he had actually comprehended three.
"Alas," Feng Xiaoyi sighed softly.
Du Youqian wasn’t falling for her act. He said with a smile, "Master, just say what’s on your mind. If you don’t want to talk, let’s just head back."
Feng Xiaoyi shot him a glare. "You wretched disciple, you’re getting more and more disrespectful to your Master. Has a dog eaten your filial piety?"
Du Youqian chuckled dryly.
Feng Xiaoyi’s expression turned serious. "The version of the Blood Slaughter Sword Scripture available for exchange in the Sect... is incomplete. Don’t look at me like that. While I may not be a True Inheritor in this life, how do you know I wasn’t one several lifetimes ago?"
Her words made Du Youqian understand at once.
’That’s right. Her dozen or so past lives hadn’t been for nothing.’
’She was probably the person in the entire world who knew the most secrets.’
"What secrets are in the Blood Slaughter Sword Scripture? Please enlighten me, Master."
Feng Xiaoyi smiled. "It’s not really a secret. And it’s not that the Holy Blood Sect is stingy and unwilling to release the complete Blood Slaughter Sword Scripture. It’s just that here in Momenan, I am likely the only one left who knows about this. Anyone else who knew died thousands of years ago."
Du Youqian waited quietly for her to continue.
Feng Xiaoyi said, "The Blood Slaughter Sword Scripture you’ve studied only allows you to comprehend two Sword Intents: first, Blood Sacrifice, and second, Blood Food. Both are very powerful, but compared to the remaining Sword Intents of the Blood Slaughter Sword, it’s like comparing a firefly to the bright moon."
As she said this, a look of fear appeared in her eyes. "Back in the day, in the Human World, the Blood Slaughter Sword was infamous. It was said to be a Spiritual Treasure bestowed upon the Human World by a Harmonization Great Power from the Upper Realm. It was nurtured in the Upper Realm for many years, giving it an extremely high essence. To call it the number one sword of slaughter in the Human World is absolutely deserved."
"Back then... a single full-powered swing of the Blood Slaughter Sword could slay countless Tier Four Demon Kings and even Tier Five Demon Emperors. Even a number of Tier Six Demon Emperors fell to the Blood Slaughter Sword. ’Tu,’ ’Slaughter,’ ’Piercing,’ ’Extermination,’ ’Annihilate’... each Sword Intent allowed the Blood Slaughter Sword to drink its fill of the blood of all races. Although, in truth, the ones it killed the most were Human Race Cultivators."
Du Youqian couldn’t help but purse his lips.
’Was Feng Xiaoyi subtly implying that the Human Race enjoys infighting?’
"Then how can one master the remaining Sword Intents?" Du Youqian was very interested in the intents that could be compared to "Annihilate."
Although, he estimated it would take him at least one or two hundred years to fully comprehend "Annihilate" alone.
To try and learn the other Sword Intents now would, to the average person, seem like biting off more than he could chew. He wouldn’t be able to master them before his lifespan ran out, and it would only hinder his Cultivation.
But... time was the one thing Du Youqian had in abundance.
’Worst case, he could just master one Sword Intent per lifetime. That would work!’
Feng Xiaoyi glanced at him, a smile in her eyes. "It’s simple. Grasp the Blood Slaughter Sword and swing it with all your might. Of course, a Tier Six Great Power could barely manage a single swing. A Tier Five expert would be severely weakened after just one. For anyone Tier Five and Below, a single swing is enough to drain a Tier Three or Tier Four Demon Race or Human Race Cultivator of their Essence Blood, turning them into one of the Living Dead. And even by exhausting the entire Life Force of such a being, you would only unleash a thousandth of the Blood Slaughter Sword’s true power at most."
Du Youqian immediately shook his head.
’No, thank you.’
’He hadn’t lived nearly enough in this life and wanted to live for many more years. He couldn’t turn himself into one of the Living Dead just to learn a few more Sword Intents.’
’The path to being sent to the outside world as a supreme genius was temporarily cut off, and who knew when the Teleportation Array would be repaired. During this time, he needed to properly strengthen his own abilities and deepen his comprehension of his Sword Intent.’
’However, in a few hundred years, once he had perfectly comprehended the Sword Intent of "Annihilate," or after the Teleportation Array for sending geniuses to the outside world was fixed, he could consider swinging the sword and courting death.’
