Chapter 142: Yu Dayue
Three years spent nourishing his spirit and two years refining his sword.
The form of the ebony sword had changed dramatically. Gone were the rain-guard and hilt, and all the impurities within the sword’s body had been slowly refined by Qin Sang, transforming it into a pure sword embryo.
The sword embryo hovered in front of Qin Sang, a vibrant green hue. Its body was slender and elegant, an exquisitely pure form, resembling a piece of jade that could entrance anyone who gazed upon it.
This was the essence of the astra fragment, which had already been refined by a Golden Core Realm cultivator with Pill Fire. Qin Sang had painstakingly honed it using the intent of slaughter for nearly two years, finally meeting the requirements of the Primordial Spirit Sword Nourishment.
The first stage of the art was not difficult; it merely laid the foundation for cultivating the art.
Once the spiritual sword was fully refined, the next step would be to engrave the killing symbol onto its body, marking the true beginning of the cultivation path.
However, Qin Sang found himself stuck at the final step.
Over the past two years, he had grown intimately familiar with every stroke of the killing symbol, able to visualize it perfectly in his mind, identical to the one described in the art. But for some reason, he couldn’t engrave the killing symbol onto the sword, always feeling like something was missing.
For two months, Qin Sang had secluded himself in his cave dwelling, attempting all sorts of methods, but he made no progress.
