Chapter 29: The Longevity Sword

  When the sky was faintly bright, the sky was covered with dark clouds, which were getting thicker and thicker, rolling in layers. From time to time, a flash of lightning would burst out, like dragons and snakes turning over in the nine heavens, illuminating the sky into a piece of purple light, making all living things tremble with fear, unable to look up!

  Even if it's Mu Yuan, facing such a scene of thunder and lightning, dense clouds and rain, he can't help but feel some reverence for the power of heaven and earth, feeling a sense of awe, yet not fear, only veneration.

  Lightning flashed and thunder boomed, a fierce power recklessly unleashed. In an instant, heavy rain poured down like the heavens had burst their banks, the Milky Way crashing to the ground with a loud whoosh, splashing out countless water droplets and ripples. Mu Yuan stood in the rain, watching as lightning flashed and thunder roared, his body's Wood Element Green Dragon Spirit stirring restlessly. The Dragon King's energy was surging wildly, a massive amount of Thunder Element Electric Qi pouring into the Dan Tian's Green Dragon Shadow. The Dragon Soul Sword was humming loudly, suddenly darting back and forth within the vortex of Longevity Energy that had transformed into gas, excitement reaching its peak!

  "Ah, the ancient divine dragon, bringing forth clouds and rain, wielding thunder and controlling lightning, indeed it's not wrong!" Mu Yuan was just admiring when he suddenly felt his internal Longevity Qi and Dragon King's Dynamic Qi collide and merge. The Dragon Soul Sword also dove into his dantian and transformed into a green dragon shadow, absorbing the green dragon shadow within his dantian like a whale sucking in water. Meanwhile, the Dragon Soul Sword itself turned into a dazzling light ball spinning inside his dantian, radiating purple-green light, with lightning and electric threads entwining it. Its body was spiraling and dancing, exuding an aura of majesty and dominance. Moreover, the Longevity Code was bursting with vitality, seemingly growing and expanding continuously!

  "The Dragon King's Movement and the Longevity Technique have actually merged!" Mu Yuan was somewhat at a loss, as he had thought about combining the three types of true energy since practicing the Tidal Flow and the Dragon King's Movement. After all, the three types of true energy were mixed up, making it difficult to control, with gaps still present when switching between them, which would not normally be apparent, but if he encountered a cultivator of equal strength, this would be a fatal weakness!

  It doesn't matter whether it's Changsheng Jue, Chaotai Liu or Longwang Dongjin, all of them are extraordinary skills that seize the creation of heaven and earth. They are all extraordinary skills passed down by ancestors after being refined thousands of times. Wanting to combine the three is something that even a cultivator who has achieved the Golden Elixir cannot accomplish, let alone Mu Yuan, who is just a young master with limited experience and cultivation realm, far from reaching this level!

  It was unexpected that after comprehending the profundity of the Longevity Secret on one evening, coincidentally on a stormy night, the Dragon King felt the stirring of heaven's change and suddenly charged into his dantian. Adding to this, the Dragon Soul Sword's own spirituality replaced the Azure Dragon's illusory shadow from the Longevity Secret. His body contained two great extraordinary abilities, merging the two techniques as one, transforming into a purple-green light flashing within him. He couldn't help but sigh in amazement at his own good fortune!

  "Heavenly luck is born, I must strive for myself! Fate has given me good fortune, but I must not waste this rare opportunity and take control of my own destiny!"

  Two achievements merged into one, Mu Yuan was overjoyed, but also felt a little bewildered. The path of future cultivation would certainly be extremely troublesome, neither could follow the consistent aim of Changsheng Jue, nor could imitate the thousand-year inheritance of Dragon King's movement, only to see the opportunity and act on his own, groping and comprehending by himself!

  Mù Yuàn tried to operate the Changsheng Jue method, and found that he could also mobilize this group of true energy. With the Dragon King's dynamic movement, it was extremely agile. The newly generated and absorbed true energy all rushed into the dantian, transforming into one strand. The only thing to pay attention to was controlling the balance between the two types of true energy. If it became too unbalanced, Mù Yuàn would feel a bit dizzy and ringing in his ears, but he didn't mind!

  "It seems that the two major techniques are not truly integrated, and I need to practice them for a long time, otherwise, I won't have to pay attention to these things when cultivating!"

  Under introspection, the true energy of the elixir field in the dantian was found to be completely suppressed by the dragon soul sword, and the threads of true energy were transformed into black smoke, which was swallowed by the dragon soul sword. Fortunately, the power of heaven and earth is infinite, and the external water-based yuan force continuously replenishes the depleted elixir field's true energy, with more coming in than going out, still steadily rising, only then did Mu Yuan let out a sigh of relief!

  The dragon soul sword transformed into a green dragon coiled in the dantian, and Mu Yuan tried to summon it. The dragon soul sword still trembled and hummed, moving with his heart. Moreover, the dragon soul sword now seemed to be condensed from true energy, and could split into countless rays of light, just like the sword energy splitting apart. Mu Yuan slightly moved his mind, without sensing the dragon soul sword itself, and a purple-blue light burst forth from his hand, instantly transforming into a five-foot-long light sword. The sword's edge flashed and flickered, leaving Mu Yuan astonished, then wildly delighted!

  "This is a method of gathering energy as soldiers, only with six layers of elixir can it be achieved! Energy soldiers, energy soldiers, truly mysterious!"

  Wooden didn't expect that the Dragon Soul Sword was forged from dozens of divine dragon corpses, residual spiritual energy after death, and selected the most mysterious parts of the dragon's body as the shape of the sword. Moreover, it broke the elixir inside the dead dragons and poured it into the sword, so to speak, it is a sword made of dragon bones, or rather, it is the transformation of the dragon yuan itself, which is a highly condensed ball of spiritual energy!

  Dozens of divine dragons, each one is a great accomplishment of the yuan god, comparable to the existence of the heavenly gods. Even if many have dissipated after death, the divine sword that was forged and merged together contains enormous power, at least it's beyond what Mu Yuan can imagine now!

  The Dragon Soul Sword itself is a being like the yuan Shen, like the golden elixir, which has merged with the essence of longevity that Mu Yuan had cultivated for over ten years, just as if it was deeply branded with Mu Yuan's mark, coiled in the dantian, like a huge golden elixir, far surpassing ordinary cultivators!

  But Mu Yuan, after all, was only a cultivator of the third layer of Qi Refining, and he couldn't control such a powerful force at all. Even if his own cultivation had reached the Golden Core realm, it would still be beyond his power. But the Golden Core is the Golden Core, at least some of the divine methods that a six-layered Dan cultivator can use are now available!

  However, this divine ability still relies on Mu Yuan's own true energy as its foundation and is far inferior to a truly successful Dan Cheng cultivator. But compared to other cultivators of the same rank, it has an overwhelming advantage!

  Watching the swirling Gaslight Sword in his hand, Muyuan felt a sense of novelty, and with a few swift movements, he practiced the sword techniques of Qingmu Shenmang, feeling invigorated and effortless.

  "Alright, alright!" Mu Yuan Zhi was delighted, and with a flick of his wrist, the Dragon Soul Sword transformed into a two-inch-long exquisite long sword that spun rapidly in his hand. The purple-blue light flowed on its surface like flowing water, circulating repeatedly, and the sword body was also lightly trembling continuously, emitting a clear and pleasant hum.

  "It's an old legend, the founder of Changsheng Palace, Feilongzi, used a sword called Changsheng to open up the sect and sweep away all the demons. Since you've merged with the true energy of Changsheng, from now on, this sword will also be called Changsheng!" Mu Yuan felt the small sword in his hand, looking at its ancient body, muttering to himself, while the Longhun Sword seemed to understand what he said and let out a long, drawn-out sword hum.

  "In the heavenly Jade Capital, twelve towers and five cities, immortals stroke my head, granting me eternal life! Haha, what a great poem!" Mu Yuan suddenly remembered a line from a poetry collection he had seen in the Longevity Palace, and hummed it out softly before bursting into loud laughter.

  Heavy rain and strong wind, thunder and lightning flashed, but Mu Yuan's body was covered with a thin layer of light, as thin as a cicada's wing, which isolated the rainwater, falling on it, only splashing away, not getting wet at all.
