Cultivation System: Stronger with Age Chapter 1585 - 703: Earth-Shattering Foundation
Previously on Cultivation System: Stronger with Age...
The many Cultivators of the North Celestial Palace, upon hearing this, still couldn’t help feeling somewhat puzzled in their hearts.
At this moment, Li Changming’s body suddenly shuddered; his figure shrank rapidly, transforming into a height half a head shorter than Lin Xuankong. The nine eyes on his face quietly faded away seven of them, leaving only two eyes in the same position as those of an ordinary Human Race.
Seeing Li Changming change his form, Lin Xuankong handed the Purple-Blue Rainbow Sword in his hand over to him.
"Changming, return this Magical Artifact of the North Celestial Palace to the North Celestial King! Although this Magical Artifact feels quite handy to use and is indeed refined from absolutely top-tier materials in this Cosmos, in the end, because the first Artifact Refiner who refined it was too rough in his methods, he damaged the very foundation of many of the artifact materials, so its potential for growth is only so-so!"
Li Changming obediently took the Purple-Blue Rainbow Sword, turned around in the void, and walked toward Northern Celestial King Mo Liqing.
Seeing ’Nine Nether Seventh’ obey Lin Xuankong so obediently, Northern Celestial King Mo Liqing, who had still had a faint trace of doubt in her heart, couldn’t help relaxing inside. She secretly thought, "That’s right, the current Nine Nether Seventh is definitely no longer the Nine Nether Seventh of back then. Otherwise, that originally arrogant, bloodthirsty, and cruel Nine Nether Seventh would never listen so docilely, so honestly!"
The three Female Celestial Generals standing beside Northern Celestial King Mo Liqing, seeing Li Changming like this, also relaxed slightly.
Just at this moment,
Li Changming, who was walking toward Northern Celestial King Mo Liqing, suddenly burst into wild laughter.
"Hahahahahaha, Purple-Blue Rainbow Sword, oh Purple-Blue Rainbow Sword, you’ve finally fallen into my hands!
Back then, this Purple-Blue Rainbow Sword, famed across the Star River, trapped this old man inside the Purple-Blue space for several thousand years, forcing this old man to endure loneliness within for several thousand years; it even became the first setback and disgust this old man suffered in all the thousands of years he rampaged across the Star River!
Now that the number one Magical Artifact of this Ghost Race has finally fallen into my hands, from today on, I, Nine Nether Seventh, will never again encounter a Magical Artifact that can give me even a slight headache, hahahahahaha!"
Laughing wildly as he spoke to this point, Li Changming suddenly tightened his grip on the Purple-Blue Rainbow Sword and raised the sword, pointing it at Northern Celestial King Mo Liqing not far away. "Mo Liqing, oh Mo Liqing, now that you see the Purple-Blue Rainbow Sword already fallen into my hands, how do you feel? Hahahahahaha, speak and let me hear it—I, Li Changming, am all ears!"
At first, when Li Changming raised the Purple-Blue Rainbow Sword and spoke the earlier words, Northern Celestial King Mo Liqing was still frowning. But when she heard the latter part, and saw Li Changming say "I, Li Changming, am all ears," this North Celestial King could no longer help but lift her brows. She stopped paying attention to the troublemaking Li Changming and instead turned her head to look at Lin Xuankong not far away.
Lin Xuankong gave a slight shake of his head. "You’ve only just taken control of this body; you definitely can’t yet exert all of the body’s inherent strength. In such a situation, don’t fool around. If you keep this up and the North Celestial King brings her several thousand subordinates over to give you—who hasn’t yet fully mastered this body—a vicious beating, I won’t interfere!"
Li Changming, who was putting on a wildly arrogant expression, heard this and his face immediately turned bitter. He sighed, "I was just joking with this North Celestial King a little; surely they wouldn’t all gang up on me, right!"
With that, he flipped the Purple-Blue Rainbow Sword in his hand, tossing it toward Northern Celestial King Mo Liqing.
After catching the Purple-Blue Rainbow Sword, Northern Celestial King Mo Liqing saw Li Changming’s expression and heard his words. At once she no longer had any worries at all, already understanding that this current body of Nine Nether Seventh was likely controlled by the ’Possession’ Immortal Technique that the senior Cultivators of old had once theorized, having swapped in another person’s Divine Soul.
The Cultivators in this Absolute Spirit Mini World, though their strength was far inferior to those mighty Immortals of the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm or Supreme Origin Realm who could overturn heaven and earth at will, still possessed the necessary imagination. As for things like "Possession" and "Soul Shifter" type Cultivation Techniques, even if no one had actually created them, there had indeed been Cultivators who once conceived of such possibilities. Northern Celestial King Mo Liqing, the three Female Celestial Generals, and the several thousand North Celestial Palace Cultivators had merely been caught off guard by how sudden this incident was, so they hadn’t previously thought that such Possession and Soul Shifter Immortal Techniques would actually exist in the world!
Now, seeing Lin Xuankong speak like this and Li Changming no longer display the slightest trace of Nine Nether Seventh’s previous vicious, bloodthirsty aura, these Cultivators of the North Celestial Palace finally began to gradually let go of the wariness in their hearts.
Northern Celestial King Mo Liqing stroked the Purple-Blue Rainbow Sword in her hand, and, somewhat curious, channeled the small amount of True Qi in her body into it, carefully sensing it. At once, that peerlessly beautiful face revealed a slightly astonished expression.
Seeing Northern Celestial King Mo Liqing like this, Lin Xuankong spoke with a faint smile:
"I presume the North Celestial King has already sensed the changes in this Purple-Blue Rainbow Sword, as well as the newly added special effects!
This Purple-Blue Rainbow Sword has undergone a rather rudimentary round of modification. It is no longer limited to its previous sealing ability and attack ability; it now possesses some effect that targets the opponent’s Divine Soul. And this kind of effect can only be defended against by Defense Techniques or Magical Artifacts and Magical Treasures of the Divine Soul type—there is simply no way to defend against it using ordinary Immortal Techniques!
A Cultivator at the Perfection Realm of the eleventh layer like the North Celestial King, if you wield it to strike at the opponent with its soul-harming effect—so long as the opponent’s Realm is not higher than yours and their Divine Soul is not absurdly powerful—then they will definitely be hit on the spot: their Divine Soul will collapse and they will fall dead directly, without leaving the slightest mark on the opponent’s body!"
