Chapter 640: Unsealing
In the silent and gloomy forest, fierce ghosts that frightened the entire ghost domain wandered by from time to time. However, surrounded by these fierce ghosts, there was an ancient and simple cauldron. Next to the cauldron, there was a heroic monk sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed and regulating his breath.
When the wind blew, even if it was slight, it would make those bloodthirsty fierce ghosts restless. It is conceivable that if a monk really came here, he would probably scare these fierce ghosts in an instant and become their target.
However, the area where the cauldron and the monks beside the cauldron were located was like a forbidden area for fierce ghosts at this moment. Even if the fierce ghosts of the earth cultivators came here, they still did not dare to get close.
The young monk with his eyes closed slowly opened his eyes and then exhaled a breath of turbid air. Next to him, seventeen or eighteen of the large number of jade bottles had been opened and casually poured on the ground.
With a gleam of brilliance in his eyes, the young monk said to himself: "The cost of forging the sword this time is so great that it is really beyond my expectation. But fortunately, at least I am very well prepared."
In the three days, "Lu Xin" has been regulating his breath motionlessly except for occasionally taking a pill and swallowing it. And now, his condition has improved a lot, and he can start the second step of forging the Xingtian Sword.
The second step is to unseal the Xingtian Sword. The reason why it is called unsealing is that the great power of the heaven sealed the sword with his own power, and the sword has lost its edge since then.
This time, if "Lu Xin" wants to improve the grade of the Xingtian Sword, he must remove the seal of the great power, which is actually to completely eliminate the petrified part of the sword.
As for what kind of state the Xingtian Sword will be in if it is really unsealed, "Lu Xin" has naturally guessed it. Moreover, he even thought about whether Xingtian would be able to return to his peak state in the past because the seal was lifted.
But in the end, after judging by this weapon immortal, he still felt that the biggest possibility was that the Xingtian Stone Sword could not return to its original state. It might even not retain any of its power. What could be retained was only the foundation of Xingtian. Such a foundation might make Xingtian itself a treasure for sword casting, but to make it sharp, it would depend on "Lu Xin"'s own means.
Of course, if there really was a situation where Xingtian's power was also reserved, "Lu Xin" would naturally be happy to see it. After all, the power of the great power in the heavens seemed to be no weaker than Luohou. In this case, even if Xingtian's sword power could be retained a little bit, it would be incredibly strong for the current "Lu Xin".
So in general, from this step on, Xingtian's cultivation began to have more and more uncertainties. Because now, he couldn't even predict what situation he would face. And at that time, whether he could successfully carry out the cultivation would all depend on his experience and ability.
With enough ability and experience, he can successfully forge it, which also means that his sword-making attainments have made another step forward. If the ability and experience are insufficient, not only will the forging fail, but it also means that his sword-making attainments are not enough.
Slowly pulling out the Xingtian Stone Sword, the stone sword in "Lu Xin's" hand is not completely gray, but has a brown earth color. Moreover, there is a lot of brown earth color, as if the stone sword is wrapped in a layer of mud.
As for the unsealing of the Xingtian Stone Sword, "Lu Xin" actually started preparing as early as the moment he entered the realm of the God of Life. After all, it is definitely not an easy thing to unseal the seal of the great man in the heaven. If the seal had not been eroded for too many years, and "Lu Xin"'s cultivation had improved a lot, he would probably not even have the idea of making this idea.
Of course, the most important thing is that after "Lu Xin" and the Xingtian Stone Sword have been together for such a long time, he found that there was a faint breath in the seal of the stone sword that was quite related to himself. Such a breath is naturally the breath of that great power in the heaven, but why it can resonate and connect with "Lü Xin", he naturally can't guess it anyway.
However, as "Lü Xin" knows more and more about the heaven, he also understands that he seems to have some unclear relationship with the heaven. Perhaps, that great power in the heaven had a close relationship with him, which is probably the reason why he can subdue the Xingtian Stone Sword.
Therefore, because "Lü Xin" can be associated with the mysterious breath in Xingtian, he has more confidence in unsealing the stone sword. After all, the gap between him and that great power is too big. If there is no such connection, even if he becomes a ground cultivator, he is afraid that he can't do anything to unseal it.
Therefore, this time "Lü Xin" wants to unseal the Xingtian Stone Sword, and he has to rely mainly on his own spiritual power. Because he has carefully observed that the "stone" outside the Xingtian Stone Sword is actually not a real stone at all, but a kind of sealed power. To dissolve this kind of power, only the power of cultivation can do it.
This is just like a battle between cultivators. If you want to dissolve the opponent's magic, you must also come up with a magic that can target it.
However, relying solely on his own strength to unlock the seal of Xingtian, "Lu Xin" still has no absolute confidence, and he certainly won't be so arrogant. Therefore, more than a month ago, "Lu Xin" asked Gui Houjiang for some demon-transforming soil and evenly applied it on the Xingtian stone sword.
Demon-transforming soil is a unique item in the ghost domain that can isolate the power of all cultivators. Not only is its isolation power powerful, but its quality is also single, and it will not cause any interference to the power of the cultivators, but only a single isolation.
Therefore, in "Lu Xin's" mind, as long as he uses his cultivation power to dissolve the seal outside the stone sword as much as possible, and then quickly isolate the dissolved part with demon-transforming soil. In this way, the purpose of unlocking can be achieved slowly, and it will not have any impact on the Xingtian stone sword itself.
After all, the current situation inside the Xingtian stone sword is still completely unknown. If something bad is put in and affects the sword itself, it will be too late for "Lu Xin" to regret it.
"It has been attached to the sword for so long, but there is no abnormality. Instead, I feel a little adapted. It seems that using the demon soil is not wrong. Now that it has been eroded by the demon soil for a month, it may be easier to unseal it." Looking at the sword in his hand, "Lu Xin" thought so.
Then, he placed Xing Tian across his chest, and the whole person returned to the state of sitting cross-legged with eyes closed. Only a little spiritual power was sent out, and finally began to try to contact the sealing power on Xing Tian.
Unsealing Xing Tian seems to be an extremely ordinary thing. Because "Lu Xin" will not make any big noise at all, he will only sit cross-legged with eyes closed, just like practicing.
However, only "Lu Xin" himself knows that unsealing Xing Tian does not require some grand Taoism, nor will it produce that kind of gorgeous appearance and deafening roar. Unsealing Xing Tian requires meditation, speculation, and understanding. Although this process seems calm, the taste and struggle in it are probably much more complicated than a battle of magic.
The spiritual power slowly flowed into the stone sword. The sword was still the same sword, and "Lu Xin" was still the master of the sword. However, this was only for the sword itself. When "Lu Xin"'s spiritual power bypassed the sword body and finally entered the petrified areas, his brows suddenly frowned.
The one who sealed the Xingtian Sword was the mysterious power of the heaven. His cultivation was so high and his Taoism was so unpredictable that "Lu Xin" could not understand it at this stage. Therefore, it was impossible for "Lu Xin" to remove the seal power on the Xingtian Stone Sword by completely understanding it.
Fortunately, "Lu Xin" had never expected so much. The method he used now was to use spiritual power to find the weak points of the seal power that were deeply eroded by time. As long as these points can be discovered and pried one by one, the overall seal power on the sword will loosen a lot. At that time, with the help of the erosion of the demon soil, the seal may be successfully removed.
The weak point of the seal power is not easy to find. This requires not only the full penetration of spiritual power, but also reasonable judgment. "Lu Xin" frowned at this moment, because he had just realized the difficulty.
Fortunately, "Lu Xin" was very patient, and he was the master of Xingtian, so after a long time, the first weak area of the seal power was finally found by him.
This area, as "Lu Xin" judged, had a lot of looseness due to the erosion of time, and the connection of the seal power showed signs of disintegration. Therefore, "Lu Xin" did not hesitate to activate the spiritual power, and even directly brought the power of time to try to completely destroy the seal of this place.
The difficulty can be imagined. Even if the seal power contained in this weak area is probably less than one tenth of its peak period, even if "Lu Xin" cleverly used the power of time to accelerate the erosion of the original years. But with his cultivation power in the middle stage of the life god, he still felt great resistance.
Now this step, I am afraid it will take a lot of time to complete. Because just to dissolve the weak seal in this area, it would probably take him several hours.
Fortunately, "Lu Xin" had already thought about it. After the sword forging was completed, he didn't have anything else to do, so he could go straight to the Heart Island to meet the Ghost Marquis Lu.
