Chapter 566: Ten Thousand Swords (Part 2)
But all five 'Flowing Light Star Meteor' swords were personally refined by Li Shiming, which means they were refined by Li Yuanba as well, so Li Yuanba has no issues controlling 'Flowing Light Star Meteor'.
However, Li Shiming gave all five 'Flowing Light Star Meteor' swords and many useless flying swords to Li Yuanba not for his use.
The IBMz15 analyzed and researched Li Yuanba's 'Ten Thousand Sword Peak' treasure, and since the highest quality flying sword within 'Ten Thousand Sword Peak' is only Golden Core Stage, it becomes useless at the Nascent Soul Stage.
Not to mention Nascent Soul Stage, even at Li Yuanba's current Sword Cultivation Great Elder Realm, 'Ten Thousand Sword Peak' serves little purpose.
In terms of cultivation, the sword intent provided by 'Ten Thousand Sword Peak' is only at the Golden Core Stage, which can no longer satisfy Li Yuanba's Great Elder Realm sword intent.
In battle, Li Yuanba's full-powered sword as Sword Cultivation Great Elder can absolutely match the power of 'Ten Thousand Sword Peak', and the preparation time needed to activate 'Ten Thousand Sword Peak' is somewhat lengthy, far less convenient than directly unsheathing a sword.
IBMz15 has taken 'Ten Thousand Sword Peak' as a research project for upgrading, as it is fundamentally different from ordinary magical treasures despite its low level.
'Ten Thousand Sword Peak' has been nourished over generations by countless sword cultivators, using a large number of flying swords over thousands of years to enhance its spirituality, making the grade of 'Ten Thousand Sword Peak' low but its spirituality far surpass its grade.
Li Shiming values the intrinsic qualities of 'Ten Thousand Sword Peak' and assigned the task to IBMz15 to continue to let 'Ten Thousand Sword Peak' shine and not become a mere ornament within the Mustard Seed Ring.
The method proposed by IBMz15 is to incorporate higher-grade flying swords into 'Ten Thousand Sword Peak' and infuse them with stronger sword intent to enhance the quality of the original ten thousand flying swords of 'Ten Thousand Sword Peak'.
It's worth noting that whether Qi Refinement Realm or Golden Core Stage flying swords, the ten thousand flying swords on 'Ten Thousand Sword Peak' have long been in a semi-energetic state, becoming one with 'Ten Thousand Sword Peak'.
This makes the original quality of the flying swords less important, with the swords mainly relying on the sword intent within.
As long as the sword intent is enhanced, the quality of the flying swords will also be elevated.
Li Shiming and Li Yuanba left the cavern and found a flat area where they released 'Ten Thousand Sword Peak'.
The Ten Thousand Sword Peak landed on the ground and transformed into a mountain.
Li Shiming nodded, and Li Yuanba took out five 'Flowing Light Star Meteor' swords and several Fourth-grade Flying Sword Magical Treasures.
The five 'Flowing Light Star Meteor' swords contained Li Shiming's 'Heavenly Thunder Sword Intent', which could be directly incorporated into 'Ten Thousand Sword Peak', while the multiple Fourth-grade Flying Sword Magical Treasures were spoils Li Shiming obtained, ranging in quality from lower to upper stage without sword intent since the owners were not sword cultivators.
The five 'Flowing Light Star Meteor' swords fell into the core at the top of Ten Thousand Sword Peak, replacing the original five Third-grade Flying Sword Treasures there.
The 'Flowing Light Star Meteor' may have been eliminated by Li Shiming, but they are Third-Grade Artifact Tribulation Flying Swords comparable to Fourth-grade Flying Sword Magical Treasures, much stronger than the previous Third-grade Flying Sword Treasures.
Not to mention that Li Shiming's Nascent Soul Stage 'Heavenly Thunder Sword Intent' is far superior to the sword intent of the original five Third-grade Flying Sword owners at the core of Ten Thousand Sword Peak.
This operation alone is enough to upgrade 'Ten Thousand Sword Peak' from a Third-grade treasure to Fourth-grade.
Of course, replacing the core treasures with five Third-grade flying swords is not easy, but IBMz15, after extensive calculations, found the most perfect solution.
Although it seemed easy for Li Yuanba to replace them with the five 'Flowing Light Star Meteor' s, the data involved would be enough to give any Artifact Refining Master a severe headache.
With the five 'Flowing Light Star Meteor' swords becoming the core of 'Ten Thousand Sword Peak', heavenly thunder rolled, and Heavenly Thunder Sword Intent ascended on 'Ten Thousand Sword Peak'.
At this time, Li Yuanba also sent all the Fourth-grade flying swords given by Li Shiming into the 'Ten Thousand Sword Peak', while Li Shiming infused sword intent into 'Ten Thousand Sword Peak'.
Li Shiming poured his insights into the 'Heavenly Thunder Sword Intent' into 'Ten Thousand Sword Peak'.
The uniqueness of 'Ten Thousand Sword Peak' lies in its strong spirituality, which can accommodate sword intent and transform it into energy for 'Ten Thousand Sword Peak'.
As Li Shiming infused 'Heavenly Thunder Sword Intent', Li Yuanba also infused his Supreme Yang Sword Intent into 'Ten Thousand Sword Peak'. Although Li Yuanba's sword intent is not as strong as Li Shiming's, the two are one, and their sword intents don't conflict but rather complement each other, adding diversity to the sword intent of 'Ten Thousand Sword Peak'.
Li Shiming's divine sense penetrated into various Spiritual Power Pattern nodes in 'Ten Thousand Sword Peak', utilizing 'Ten Thousand Sword Peak' to accelerate the energy transformation of all the Fourth-grade flying swords invested.
This capability of energy transformation of flying swords is a unique ability of 'Ten Thousand Sword Peak'.
However, under normal circumstances, transforming a single flying sword into energy takes an extremely long time.
With IBMz15 uncovering the operational mechanism of 'Ten Thousand Sword Peak', using Nascent Soul Stage energy to expedite the process caused the scene before them.
The quantity of these Fourth-grade flying swords is considerable, all found by Li Shiming from multiple Nascent Soul cultivators' Mustard Seed Rings, and he had no use for them as treasures.
These Fourth-grade flying swords became resources for 'Ten Thousand Sword Peak', and once they were transformed into energy, the energy quickly dispersed and infused into the original ten thousand flying swords.
Of course, just these Fourth-grade flying swords are not enough to upgrade the ten thousand flying swords, and Li Shiming plans to invest future flying sword treasures acquired into 'Ten Thousand Sword Peak'.
If the owners of the flying sword treasures are sword cultivators, the treasures join the ten thousand flying swords as members; if not, the treasures are transformed into energy to enhance the other flying swords.
This lavish way of artifact refining would likely cause any cultivator to feel heartbroken.
Whether lower, middle, or upper stage Fourth-grade flying swords, they are precious items to Nascent Soul cultivators, and even if not personally used, they could be traded for resources.
Only a cultivator like Li Shiming, who easily gains resources, would use so many Fourth-grade Flying Sword Treasures for refining artifacts.
The enhancement process of 'Ten Thousand Sword Peak' here caused no significant disturbance and didn't attract the attention of other cultivators.
The entire enhancement process took three days, after which the quality of 'Ten Thousand Sword Peak', with the considerable investments, stabilized at Fourth-grade.
Especially the sword intent, with the sword intent within the ten thousand flying swords previously elevated to Golden Core level due to influence from the sword intent within the five Third-grade Flying Sword Treasures.
Now, with the replacement of the core five Third-grade flying swords by 'Flowing Light Star Meteor', the internal sword intent has transformed into the Heavenly Thunder Sword Intent at Nascent Soul Early Stage Peak.
Afterward, continuously injecting energy into 'Ten Thousand Sword Peak' can elevate the sword intent of the ten thousand flying swords to Nascent Soul Level.
This requires time to gradually complete, exactly why Li Shiming is reluctant to give up 'Ten Thousand Sword Peak'; its potential is enormous.
In the future, as Li Shiming's cultivation realm and sword intent improve, he can reinfuse stronger sword intent into the five 'Flowing Light Star Meteor'.
If he acquires even stronger flying swords for replacement, he can substitute 'Flowing Light Star Meteor', making 'Ten Thousand Sword Peak' more formidable.
The power of 'Ten Thousand Sword Peak' depends on the quality of the flying swords and the intensity of sword intent within, and with continuous investment, 'Ten Thousand Sword Peak' will only become stronger.
A magical treasure capable of growth like this, Li Shiming has no good method for crafting—even he lacks the patience to spend thousands of years gradually heightening a treasure's spirituality, which only sects can achieve.
Li Yuanba now possesses another life-saving treasure, the Fourth-grade 'Ten Thousand Sword Peak'.
