No demons in all realms

Chapter 5: Tempering the Sword with Blood

The little boy, standing there dumbfounded, was completely unaware of what had happened. He only felt a warmth in his palm and a burning heat in his hand, which startled him so much that he quickly threw the sword away.

The three of them stopped and watched quietly as the sword underwent changes.

The peach wood sword was stuck straight into the ground, surrounded by a red light. Within the red light, it was constantly being reforged and tempered. With each reforging, the red light around the sword became more and more vivid and dazzling.

Gradually, the shape of the sword became indistinguishable; all that could be seen with the naked eye was a flashing red light.

I don't know how long it lasted...

The red light slowly began to dissipate, and the sword within it was revealed. The little boy looked ahead with excitement and was surprised to find that this sword was completely different from the original peach wood sword.

In terms of both appearance and quality, it is far superior to the original sword. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, you would never have been able to tell that the two swords came from the same source.

Once the child felt safe, he slowly walked forward, pulled out the sword stuck in the ground, and instantly felt a powerful spiritual force enter his hand. He then began to examine it carefully.

The sword blade had been transformed from the original peach wood into super refined gold. Three strings of incomprehensible inscriptions were engraved on the blade, and a small phoenix was branded on the end of the blade. The hilt was decorated with the tail wing of the small phoenix, along with two peach blossoms.

Seeing this, Chen Luoluo and Yun Feng were certain that the little child was born with the exquisite bloodline, because apart from the pure bloodline of the ancient ferocious beast kings and the divine beings born with the exquisite bloodline, they really couldn't think of any other bloodline that could improve the quality of a weapon.

Chen Luoluo stepped forward and gestured for the little girl to let her examine the sword. The little girl carefully handed the sword to Chen Luoluo, as if afraid of damaging it.

Chen Luoluo took the sword and, seeing how carefully the little boy was handling it, couldn't help but chuckle and tease him, "Hahaha, little junior brother, you're really funny. Don't worry, once the quality of your weapon is improved, it won't be easily destroyed."

Chen Luoluo, who was laughing at him just a second ago, froze instantly. She carefully sensed the spiritual power and quality of the sword in her hand and was shocked to find that the spiritual power in the sword was actually stronger than that of the Pokong sword she wore at her waist, and the quality was not much different.

She stiffly turned her head and stammered to Yun Feng, "This...this sword...it actually...it actually turned into...a high-grade spiritual weapon..."

"Ah?! What?!" Yun Feng exclaimed, rushing over to take the sword from Chen Luoluo's hand. He channeled his spiritual energy into it to examine it, and was astonished, "It really is a high-grade spiritual weapon!"

The result was so unbelievable that even the usually gentle and refined senior brother couldn't help but swear: "What is this thing? Just a few drops of blood, yet it has such supernatural power." If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that a peach wood sword, which wasn't even a mortal weapon, could be upgraded to a high-grade spiritual weapon.

Yun Feng carefully examined the sword, and was soon shocked again. He said in an incredulous tone, "It's clearly a high-grade spiritual weapon, so why is this sword enchanted? And it's been enchanted three times." Upon hearing this, even Chen Luoluo, who was used to the little kid's extraordinary abilities, was frightened. Clearly, after following the little kid for a while, Yun Feng's understanding of the world had been shattered.

People usually classify the quality of weapons into mortal weapons, mystical weapons, spiritual weapons, and immortal weapons. Above immortal weapons are the weapon grades of the celestial realm. Each stage of weapons is further divided into four different grades: low-grade, medium-grade, high-grade, and top-grade.

This shows just how incredible it is to upgrade a peach wood sword, which is not even a common weapon, to a superior spiritual weapon. But that's not the point. The point is that this weapon has been enchanted, and it's a three-attribute enchantment that has never appeared in the human world before.

What is weapon enchanting? After a weapon is enchanted, intricate inscriptions will appear on it.

Enchantment, in this context, refers to the process of a magician polishing a weapon with elemental stones of different elements during the tempering process. There is only a 1% chance of success, and if the enchanting process fails or is interrupted, the enchanted weapon will be destroyed.

Therefore, enchanted weapons are extremely rare; it might take a hundred weapons to enchant one, let alone three enchanted weapons.

The effects of this enchantment are incredibly amazing. It can enhance the weapon's grade and attributes, and even grant the weapon its own martial arts skills. The previous Human Emperor once possessed a top-grade spiritual weapon with a single enchantment. With that weapon, he had few rivals in the Seven Kingdoms.

Yunfeng returned the sword to the little child, saying with a hint of anticipation, "This sword has already been bound to you by your blood. Quickly infuse your spiritual power into the blade and see what the three enchanted attributes are."

The little boy nodded, took the sword, and poured his spiritual power into the blade, closing his eyes to feel the extra attributes brought by the enchantment. After a while, the little boy opened his eyes, and Yunfeng asked impatiently, "What are these three enchantments? Tell me quickly."

Chen Luoluo chuckled, "Old Yun, what's the rush? The way you're so eager, anyone who didn't know better would think your weapon is enchanted."

Yun Feng scratched his head: "This isn't the first time I've seen an enchanted weapon. I'm so excited." Yun Feng is a well-known sword fanatic in the sword cultivation circle. He is obsessed with anything related to swords, whether it's a weapon or a cultivation technique, to the point of near madness.

The little boy said mysteriously, "Ahem, I'm afraid it would scare you to death if I told you, so I've decided not to, hehe."

Upon hearing this, Yun Feng, a sword fanatic, immediately became displeased and threatened, "If you don't talk, don't force me to use some harsh methods. It seems you don't know what's good for you if I don't teach you a lesson. I'll give you one last chance. Are you going to talk or not?"

The little boy wasn't flustered at all. Instead, a wicked idea popped into his head: the chance to take advantage of the chaos and make a fortune had arrived. He rested his chin on his hand, looking somewhat frustrated, and said, "Sigh~! We're about to enter the ancient ruins. As a great culinary master, I have all the skills I need, but I'm useless. Unfortunately, I'm too short to even carry my own cooking utensils. If a kind person could help me carry them, I'd do anything for them."

Yunfeng naturally understood the little boy's wicked scheme, but as a sword fanatic, he didn't care about such things and agreed to the little boy's request without thinking: "That's easy, I'll get it for you. Now tell me quickly what the enchantment attributes of your sword are? Let me broaden my horizons."

The little boy still felt it wasn't enough and sighed again: "Alas, this God of Food is naturally intelligent and has such a precious sword protecting him, yet he doesn't even know a single sword move. It's really quite difficult. If someone can teach me the supreme sword techniques, I will definitely tell you everything I know."

Yunfeng said, clearly getting impatient, "Master has already told us to teach you swordsmanship. What more do you want? I advise you not to go too far."

The little boy immediately perked up: "What about our sect's Heaven-Slaying Technique? Will you teach that too? If I learn the Heaven-Slaying Technique, I'll definitely have no problem protecting myself."

Chen Luoluo, who couldn't stand it any longer, stepped forward to speak up for justice: "Junior brother, you are really insatiable! Old Yun just wanted to know the attributes of your weapon's enchantment, but you made him your slave. Now you're going even further, asking him to teach you the most core and top-level secret techniques within our sect. You really don't treat your senior brother like a human being."

The little kid is quite shrewd. He shrugged helplessly and said, "Looks like there's no point in talking. I wasn't really keen on learning anyway; I just wanted to learn a powerful skill to save my life. If you don't want to teach me, fine."

Yunfeng, an honest man, couldn't resist the little boy's insistence and thus fell into hesitation.

He pulled Chen Luoluo aside, and Chen Luoluo asked in confusion, "Senior Brother, you're not really going to teach this guy the Heaven-Slaying Technique, are you? This is a top-tier technique of the sect, only those in the Core Formation stage can cultivate it, and if Master finds out, we'll be punished."

Yunfeng stroked his chin and said, "I don't think there's anything wrong with teaching him. He'll have to learn it sooner or later anyway. Even if Master finds out, there's no need to worry. You know, it took me three whole years to even get a basic understanding of the Heaven-Slaying Technique. Let alone a child this young. Even if he has great talent in swordsmanship, I don't believe he can learn it in three months."

After discussing with Chen Luoluo, Yunfeng turned to the little girl and agreed, "Okay! I promise to teach you. Can you tell me now?"

The little boy's eyes lit up, and he reluctantly said, "Considering how sincere Senior Brother is, wouldn't it seem petty of me not to tell you? The first attribute is called Spirit Beast Killer, and its effect is incredibly powerful, increasing damage to spirit beasts by 400% and ignoring their defenses; the second attribute is called Top-Tier Protection, making this weapon immune to suppression from any high-level weapon, and also increasing its own hardness sevenfold; the last one isn't an attribute, but a sword skill called Golden Roar Slash. As for its specific effects, I haven't used it yet and don't know its power."

Yunfeng's expression was now one of utter astonishment; he was speechless with shock. He realized that ever since he came to freeload lunch, his amazement at the little baby had never ceased.

He even doubted that he could understand the world of such geniuses at all. Let alone these three attributes, just one attribute alone brought him immense shock.

Take the first attribute for example. He is currently in the early stage of Qi Transformation. If his sword is enchanted with the attribute of Spirit Beast Killer, he is very confident that he can kill a spirit beast in the late stage of Qi Transformation with his swordsmanship and sword skills. It is even possible to kill a spirit beast in the peak stage of Qi Transformation. As for the other two attributes, there is no need to say more. In particular, martial arts are extremely rare and terrifying.

Just as Yun Feng and Chen Luoluo were still in shock and hadn't recovered, the little girl, seeing that it was getting late, unceremoniously gave them the order to leave: "Alright, you two, stop reminiscing and being shocked. Look, it's getting late, and I should rest too. You can come back tomorrow to teach me swordsmanship. Goodnight." As she spoke, she pushed the two out and then locked the door.
