Chapter 116 - 27 Sword Formation - Thousand Sword Intent_2
At the very bottom of the pattern, an extra gem crystal appeared, an object that was unclear whether it was a Dark Pill or a gemstone and had lost its original color. During the process of Yue Jinghua wielding the sword, that gem crystal turned from its original dazzling red to a dark black color.
In the middle of the stone, tiny, pearly white spots that looked like starlight pulsed without ceasing.
"Who would have thought that this sword is actually embedded with a Dark Techniques Treasure Pearl," Qing Pu also examined the Great Sword with great interest.
"What is a Dark Techniques Treasure Pearl?" Yue Jinghua heard about the Dark Treasure Pearl for the first time.
Qing Pu’s knowledge naturally was not something Yue Jinghua could compare to.
He explained leisurely that a Dark Skill Stone is a type of Spirit Stone that stores Dark Techniques. It comes in many types of material, which could be a high-level Dark Beast’s Dark Pill or a Spirit Stone. Both Dark Treasure Pearls and Dark Skill Steles serve as media for recording Dark Techniques, but there are some differences. Dark Skill Steles are inanimate; they can only record the basic mental methods and mantras. Whereas the Dark Techniques Treasure Pearl is animate. It does not only record the complete moves, but it can also store the Dark Power from the past owners of the Dark Techniques.
"When you released the swordsmanship in the Dan Demon Tomb just now, did you feel an uncontrollable sensation? That wasn’t your Dark Power, but rather the Dark Power of the sword’s previous owner, which remained in the Dark Techniques Treasure Pearl," Yue Jinghua had never learned the swordsmanship of the Great Swordsmen, let alone a sword move capable of breaking the power of a Holy Beast.
The Dark Techniques Treasure Pearl was originally created by dying powerhouses to protect their descendants, sealing part of their power into specially crafted Dark Pearls. Whoever obtained the Treasure Pearl could activate the Dark Techniques Treasure Pearl by using special methods, such as the blood of relatives, a break-seal mantra, or special circumstances.
The advantage of the Treasure Pearl is its powerful strength. A Dark Techniques Treasure Pearl with a Peak technique from a Dark Heavenly Master could unleash one hundred percent of the Dark Heavenly Master’s power.
