Chapter 7: Sudden Frame-up
Chapter 7: Sudden Frame-up
Hearing the dripping sound from the bracket on his back, He Lingyun only felt that the spiritual power he injected into himself was vibrating at an extremely high frequency after passing through the complex spiritual gold conduction circuit. The intermittent oscillating spiritual power fluctuations were radiated through the bowl-shaped metal structure protruding from the bracket.
In just a moment, her spiritual consciousness captured the flat flying sword that had already flown out of a range of twenty miles, and once again established a close spiritual connection with the flying sword that had briefly lost contact. Sword Erling was back under her control.
The supersonic cruising sword was moving at an astonishing speed. Sensing that the flying sword was flying farther and farther, He Lingyun was worried about losing contact again and wanted to control the flying sword back. Senior Brother Wen seemed to see her worry and said, "Don't worry. The range of controlling the flying sword with the shortwave communication mode of spiritual power fluctuations can reach a thousand miles. In the future, I will build a relay signal tower on the ground and a deep space communication satellite around the prehistoric land in the air. The sword control distance can cover the entire prehistoric land."
He Lingyun glanced at Wen Rui with suspicion, obviously not believing the nonsense that a mere low-level flying sword could control the sword to cover the entire prehistoric world. That was a magical skill that only the saints of the prehistoric world could perform.
At this point, Senior Brother Wen seemed to remember something, and he tapped his fist on his palm and said, "By the way, can you split your spiritual consciousness and project it? Is that what you sword cultivators call 'the unity of man and sword'? If you can do it, try to project your spiritual consciousness through spiritual power waves and switch the perspective of controlling the sword."
He Lingyun quickly followed her senior brother's request and used the advanced sword-controlling technique 'Man and Sword Become One' to project her differentiated consciousness through the air. In an instant, her differentiated consciousness was on Jian Erling, as if she had become Jian Erling.
This kind of "oneness of man and sword" sword-controlling skill is not something that ordinary sword practitioners can easily master. He Lingyun, as the best among the three generations of disciples of Lishan Immortal Sect, was able to comprehend this high-level sword secret in the Golden Core Realm.
You know, the powerful sword immortal can use his flying sword to take people's heads from thousands of miles away. He relies on this method of "oneness of man and sword". He can differentiate his consciousness and project it onto the flying sword. It makes him feel as if he is there in person even though he is thousands of miles away. This is because he switches the perspective of his subjective consciousness to the flying sword.
After the projection of the spiritual consciousness, not only the perspective was switched, but the five senses were also synchronized with Jian Erling. He Lingyun looked at the clouds rushing towards him, felt the high-speed airflow passing through the sword, and looked down at the mountains flying by at high speed below. An incomparable sense of excitement filled his heart.
Before she transformed, she was in the form of a crane. She had flown through the sky and soared above the clouds, but she had never flown so fast. Even the fastest falcon in nature could not break the speed of sound when diving for prey, let alone a flying crane.
The joy of high-speed flying is engraved in the genes of birds. At this moment, He Lingyun feels incomparable joy and freedom. Her consciousness is projected onto Jian Erling, a strange-shaped flying sword with bird-like appearance. She feels that the degree of fit between "bird and sword" is extremely high. The wings of the sword are like her wings, and the rudder is like her feathers. The control is so familiar, just like controlling her own flying crane body before the transformation.
In time, she will continue to hone her skills in controlling the new flying sword. Once she reaches the level of perfection, the power she can exert will definitely far exceed that of using the old flying sword.
This sword is so powerful and so suitable for me!
"The sword emits thunderous sounds", "controls the sword for a thousand miles", and "no consumption of spiritual energy". These three attributes alone may not be possessed by even a spiritual treasure-level flying sword. When Senior Brother Wen explained it before, he also mentioned that this "Sword 20" has many other characteristics, but He Lingyun didn't quite understand what he said and couldn't comprehend it yet. He needed to see it with his own eyes to truly know it.
He Lingyun understood deeply that he had definitely picked up a treasure this time, but along with his excitement, he also had a hint of worry. Although the new flying sword was good and could greatly improve one's strength, it seemed to rely too much on the quality of the sword itself.
For a sword practitioner, if the flying sword itself is too excellent, it will affect the improvement of his own strength, causing him to rely too much on the flying sword and slow down the progress of sword practice.
Of course, she couldn't think that far ahead at the moment. The excellent performance of Jian Erling could at least help her pass the sect competition and get a good ranking, without having to worry about the deduction of monthly spirit stones affecting her practice.
"Well, that's enough for the flight test. You're smarter than I expected and you've mastered it quickly."
Senior Brother Wen's words interrupted He Lingyun's thoughts. He stroked the stubble on his chin and thought, "Next, we have to go to another place to test the weapon system of 'Sword 20'."
He Lingyun was stunned when he heard this, and then he recalled that Wen Rui once said that Sword 20 is a mother-and-child sword, with a hundred sub-swords hidden in the sword chamber. In addition, it also contains various mysterious killing moves, and its firepower is unrivaled among flying swords of the same level.
He thought he had picked up a treasure, but it turned out that the value of the treasure was far beyond his imagination. He Lingyun couldn't help but feel very happy, and he also felt that Wen Rui's ordinary face was much more pleasing to the eye.
"The weapon system of Jian Erling is quite powerful. It is not convenient to test it in the territory of Lishan Immortal Sect. If it explodes the flowers and plants, Lishan Old Mother will nag me again."
Wen Rui said: "Give me some time to choose a suitable weapons testing site. Wait for me to send a message in three days, and then I will teach you how to test the weapons mounted on Jian Erling."
As he spoke, he handed over a jade slip and said, "This is the Sword 20 Weapon System Operation Manual. During these three days, you should study on your own. You must study the theory seriously and don't be lazy. In three days, you will have actual combat training."
He Lingyun quickly took the jade slip and nodded in agreement. He made an appointment with Senior Brother Wen, then called back Jian Erling, hooked Jian Erling with a blocking rope and put him back on the sword rack behind him, then left with brisk steps.
Three days later, He Lingyun received the message from Senior Brother Wen as expected.
However, it was different from what she had imagined. Senior Brother Wen did not use the magical power of transmitting sound over a thousand miles, nor did he perform the message transmission technique to transform the letter paper into a kite and fly it by itself. Instead, he sent a voice message using the communicator that came with the Jian Erling flying sword bracket.
He Lingyun felt a little strange. She had thought that her senior brother was a senior brother who had experienced the Conferred Gods Battle after all. Even if his realm seemed low, he was just hiding his aura. His real cultivation level might have reached the Return to Void Realm or even the Transformation into a God Realm.
Thousand Mile Sound Transmission and Message Transmission Technique are only minor magical powers that can be used during the Foundation Establishment Period, but he actually discarded them. Could it be that his cultivation is really as low as it looks and he cannot use them?
Following the guidance of Senior Brother Wen, He Lingyun flew with the "Sword 20" on his back and flew to the weapons testing site.
Different from the general sword cultivators' flying posture of stepping on the sword or holding the sword in hand, the new flying sword requires her to fly with it on her back. During the flight, she has to constantly bless herself with the Fire-Proofing Technique to avoid being burned by the high-temperature tail flame ejected by the flying sword on her back.
In the world of cultivation, this kind of flying posture with a sword is very strange, but if it is seen by modern otaku, he will probably recognize that this is the classic image of the flying mecha girl "Ribbon Princess".
This strange flying posture of the sword made He Lingyun a little shy, but the flying speed was not slow, and he soon arrived at the place mentioned by Senior Brother Wen. It was beyond He Lingyun's expectation again. The weapons testing site had beautiful mountains and forests. It was a bit of a waste to choose this place to test weapons. It was really a pity to waste such beautiful mountains and rivers.
Controlling the sword Erling to slowly descend, He Lingyun suppressed the doubts in his heart and looked around, searching for the figure of Senior Brother Wen.
As he was hesitating, he felt a slight vibration under his feet. The ground collapsed and a hole appeared. Senior Brother Wen broke out of the ground covered in dust and dirt and crawled out of the hole. This strange way of appearance really scared He Lingyun.
"Master... Senior Brother, why are you traveling by earth burrowing? Why don't you fly with a sword?"
"Pah, phh. What do you know? In this world of cultivation that is as dangerous as the Dark Forest, the best way to travel is to use a technique that is not easily detected by the enemy!"
Wen Rui spat out two mouthfuls of sand and said, "I suggest that you travel underground more often in the future. The spiritual sense of a cultivator can explore tens or even thousands of miles in the air, but it can't penetrate into the ground for more than a dozen feet. Back then, Tuxingsun and Zhang Kui relied on the magical power of earth walking to fool a group of gods and immortals. If you want to live a few more years, you'd better listen to my advice. This is all a bloody lesson learned."
He Lingyun narrowed his eyes and looked at Senior Brother Wen, who looked dusty and dirty. He felt that he looked like an old beggar, not like a cultivator. He didn't take Senior Brother Wen's advice seriously and secretly complained, "I am a crane flying in the sky, not a chicken rolling in the mud. I don't want to burrow into the ground to get by!"
While brushing off the sand on his body, Wen Rui said, "Don't waste time. Release Jian Erling and I will teach you how to use the sub-sword."
He Lingyun obeyed obediently this time, controlling the Sword 20 to detach from the bracket and fly into the air, circling over the forest.
Wen Rui instructed from the side: "Focus your spiritual consciousness on the rock in the west, use the 'Oneness of Man and Sword' method to inhabit the sword, find the weapon interface on the cabin control panel, and select the sub-sword you want to launch."
Following Wen Rui's instructions, He Lingyun found the weapon interface with ease. As soon as he thought about it, he saw a hatch open on the belly of the sword 20 hovering in the air, and a cone-shaped sub-sword spewed out with tail flames, swooping down towards the rock that his mind had locked onto.
However, just before Zi Jian hit the rock, a strange crackling sound came from the bracket on his back, and in an instant the induction of the "oneness of man and sword" spiritual consciousness was interrupted, and Zi Jian just deviated from the rock and flew behind it.
He Lingyun was shocked and quickly concentrated his spiritual sense to look over there, only to see that there was a small Western religious temple built behind the rock. The flying sword accurately flew into the temple door and hit a statue of Bodhisattva enshrined in the temple.
"Rumble..."
After a dazzling flash, a semicircular air wave visible to the naked eye spread out, and the roar was transmitted from afar, accompanied by a strong gust of wind.
It was just a small air-to-ground sword, but its power was earth-shattering. A huge mushroom cloud shot up into the sky. When the smoke and dust dissipated a little, the small temple had long disappeared, having been blown to pieces. Only a huge smoking crater remained in its place.
Not far from the small temple, under a waterfall, a young Western Buddhist monk who was practicing meditation and was washed by the mighty water suddenly woke up from his meditation.
When he opened his eyes, he saw the temple being robbed. He immediately became furious and turned into an angry Vajra.
Looking again, I saw a female monk standing in a clearing in the woods in the distance, staring at the bombed temple in astonishment. In the sky, a strange magical weapon was circling and dancing, spewing flames.
"It turned out to be you, a fool who doesn't know how to live or die!"
The monk stood up in anger, leaped high into the air, and rushed towards the female monk, shouting as he rushed: "You escaped last time, but you didn't repent and dared to take revenge with the magic weapon and use magic to destroy my temple. Fortunately, I was not in the temple, otherwise you would have succeeded in your sneak attack!"
The monk gestured and made Buddhist hand seals continuously. It was obvious that he was extremely angry and was concentrating the Buddha's power to attack with all his strength.
"Great and Mighty Heavenly Dragon, Great Luo Dharma Mantra, Prajna Buddhas, Prajna Paramita! The evildoer shall die!"
The female monk waved her hands in panic and said repeatedly: "I am not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense... Brother, please explain... Hey, where is the person?"
She looked back and saw that there was no one nearby, only a hole in the ground. She could not find her senior brother anywhere.
The confused girl looked confused, stunned, shocked, innocent, and aggrieved...
