Chapter 47: Chapter 47: Truly a Stature Bestowed by Heaven_1
When Li Xuan arrived at the training ground in the backyard, he found that Li Chengji was holding a sword with an exceptionally solemn and reverent expression on his face.
The sword was approximately three feet and nine inches long, with the sheath made of locust wood, and a blue gem embedded at the end of the handle.
Li Xuan found it familiar: “Isn’t this the sword that was worshipped in our ancestral shrine?”
“This is the personal sword of our ancestor, the first Earl Chengyi.” Li Chengji glared at him: “First, pay your respects!”
Li Xuan didn’t quite understand, but he still followed Li Chengji’s instructions, holding three sticks of incense and bowing to the sword. Only then did he look at Li Chengji in confusion: “This sword was placed well in the shrine, why did you bring it out?”
“Of course, to help you study martial arts.”
Li Chengji snorted, and with a pat on the scabbard, the sword inside turned into a bleak long rainbow and fell in front of Li Xuan.
Not daring to let the sword fall, Li Xuan risked getting accidentally injured and clumsily caught the sword in his hands.
As soon as the sword was in his hand, Li Xuan felt a chill spreading throughout his body, and even the air outside was unexpectedly layered with electricity. However, the sword’s blade seemed plain and unadorned, looking merely like an ordinary straight blade.
Li Xuan still didn’t understand. The ancestral sword was indeed extraordinary, but how could it help him to study martial arts?
“Your mother kept nagging me all night about Demoness Zidie’s incident yesterday. She’s really worried about you, Xuan. Even I, your father, was scared for you after hearing about it.”
Li Chengji sighed: “At that time, the situation was indeed critical. Although I don’t know why Demoness Zidie let you go, you cannot always rely on your good luck. Initially, I wanted to hire a Wu cultivator as your personal bodyguard, but your brother said it’s better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. To truly protect yourself, you have to work on your own strength and not rely on others. Your mother and I agreed, but after pondering all night, I couldn’t think of a solution that could quickly improve your martial arts. There’s only one method that might help you compete against others in combat techniques.”
Li Xuan glanced at his elder brother Li Yan, who was standing at the edge of the training ground. Then Li Chengji paused and asked Li Xuan: “Xuan, do you know about the God-Whipping Technique?”
“I know, it’s about invoking a god.”
Li Xuan had, of course, heard of it. Not only was it a commonly used method by spell cultivators in this world, but it was also known in the time he came from.
Using a special ritual to invoke the spirits of gods or martial artists with extraordinary skills into one’s own body to exert divine-like abilities was known as God-Whipping.
However, this was extremely dangerous. If not used properly, it could lead to mental impairment in the best case, or even death in the worst case.
“What you’re going to do next is similar to the God-Whipping Technique.”
Li Chengji pointed to the sword in Li Xuan’s hand: “This sword contains a trace of our ancestor’s Primordial Spirit. It can attach itself to your body, control your physique and display all our ancestor’s supreme Xuanwu techniques and his transcendent comprehension of martial arts. However, how much you can learn from it depends entirely on your own understanding. So later, Xuan, you should not be distracted and ought to concentrate entirely on observing. This is the inheritance left by our ancestor, a resource for future generations to perpetuate his martial arts. According to our ancestor, this sword can be used up to ten times, each lasting no more than two hours, for future generations to comprehend his combat methods and the true meaning of martial arts.”
“So how many times can it be used now?” Li Xuan asked curiously.
“Ten times.” Li Chengji coughed and looked a little embarrassed: “Because over the years, none of us has taken the path of cultivating both ice and thunder.”
Li Xuan understood. It turns out that this sword hadn’t been used by anyone for hundreds of years. The cultivation of ice and thunder, however, indeed seemed bizarre to the people in this world.
He couldn’t help looking down at the sword in anticipation. This was the Yihan Saber of Li Lexing, one of the rare individuals who had reached the heavenly level amongst the individuals in recent hundreds of years.
“How should I use it? By dripping my blood onto it?”
That’s how it’s often depicted in TV dramas.
“It’s not that simple.” Li Chengji gave him a glance: “First, eat this elixir and quickly refine it in your stomach. Otherwise, when the will of our ancestor descends, your Primordial Spirit won’t be able to handle it. Even if it’s just a little bit of our ancestor’s Primordial Spirit, it’s at a heavenly level, akin to an immortal.”
Li Xuan swallowed the green elixir as instructed and immediately felt a warmth spread throughout his body.
Following this, Li Chengji stuck numerous vibrant yellow talismans onto him. Then besides the original Kuiniu Luminous Armor, he slipped another layer of black iron armor onto him — this was the armor of his brother, Li Yan, which was also a magical instrument, on par with Li Xuan’s “Kuiniu Luminous Armor”.
According to Li Chengji, these two layers of armor were to prevent Li Xuan from being killed by his own power.
He cut his finger, spreading his blood evenly on the back of the straight blade: “This blade has a forbidden spell, only the blood of the generations of our family heads can unseal this blade, and only our Li Family’s bloodline can use it. Next, just drop your blood, and then chant ‘please let the ancestors possess me’ earnestly.”
Li Xuan hesitated for a moment. Although he was a good seed of the Li Family, his soul might not necessarily be the same. What if something went wrong?
But this hesitation only existed for an instant, and Li Xuan gritted his teeth and cut his finger with the straight blade in his hand.
The desire for power overcame his fear of being exposed.
Look on the bright side, didn’t the Tingtian Ao with the Diting divine ability also fail to detect the anomaly in his Primordial Spirit? Of course, it might also be that it knew but did not say it.
As the blood slid off the blade, Li Xuan felt a grand alien power from within the blade, forcibly rushing into his body with an overwhelming momentum.
However, Li Xuan didn’t feel any resistance or rejection, but instead felt very close to it, blending perfectly with his own Zhenyuan. His Primordial Spirit was warm, and in a moment of trance, Li Xuan found himself having lost control over his body.
He felt his Primordial Spirit slightly aching, and then in the next moment, Li Xuan’s Spirit Awareness spread out in all directions, and at this moment, he felt as if he had become one with the entire world, with all the spiritual power in the training field, coming under his control.
He even started to feel that he could turn the world upside down with a wave of his hand.
“Kid, watch closely!”
The first move of ‘Yihan Saber Li Lexing’ froze the entire training ground. It was ‘Leaves Scattering and Ice Departing’, the first move of the ‘Frozen Blade’!”
This ancestor, with only Li Xuan’s level of cultivation at the third house level, managed to execute a sword Gang. His Zhenyuan was extremely concentrated and did not leak at all. The reason why he was able to freeze the entire training ground was that Yihan Saber Li Lexing had increased Li Xuan’s cold power by no less than tenfold!
Li Chengji, who was being targeted, was taken aback and dared not confront him head-on. He retreated twenty yards to the edge of the field, before he retaliated with the same move ‘Leaves Scattering and Ice Departing’.
Then, with a bang, the ground between the two was split open by the sharp sword Gang, creating a huge pit. The bursting cold power then spread out in all directions, freezing everything. Trees, flowers, walls, nothing could escape, it even began to spread to the courtyards outside the training field.
Fortunately, at this time, the ‘Wulei Pimo Array’ in Earl Chengyi’s mansion was automatically activated, stopping the further spread of the cold power.
“Fuck!”
The bystander Li Yan, who had been caught in the crossfire, was also covered in a thin layer of ice. The sharp sword Gang flying past him have caused his hair to stand on end.
He quickly retreated twenty yards while activating the Fire Style Zhenyuan within his body. Then, his whole body lit up like a torch.
After managing to avoid danger, Li Yan found it unbelievable. Just how intense is Li Xuan’s cold power now? How was it that it could unleash such formidable power under Li Lexing’s control?
Indeed, that slash just now was triggered by Li Lexing’s heavenly level cultivation and Yi of the sword, but if Li Xuan himself did not have such an amazing amount of cold power, it definitely wouldn’t have reached this level!
Just as Li Yan was thinking about this, he saw ‘Li Xuan’ spitting out a twenty-yard-long Thunderbolt from the body of the sword, sweeping across space. The residual power of the electricity net even had him, who was far from the battlefield, covered.
Li Yan’s heart had already gone numb. He thought, how many days has his younger brother been practicing the Thunder Style? And yet, even his Thunder Style has such a formidable power!

Could it really be as the State Preceptor said? His own younger brother was indeed talented, intelligent, and gifted?
At this moment, facing the blade of ‘Li Xuan’, Li Chengji was so excited that he couldn’t even speak clearly. He could only stutter repetitively, “This is truly a divine endowed talent! Divine endowed talent!”
