The Way of the Sword (BL)

Chapter 12: An old pig recognizes a young pig!



Zemin Yan looked surprised at the Elder Han, who had a very gentle smile on his masculine face. Clearly, Elder Han did not appear to have mischievous thoughts about the young child, he could recognize his old friend from his youth from miles away, after all, it was with him that Elder Han learned to be a pig to kill the tiger.

"You do not look like your father or mother, but I would have identified the aura of that copper ring a mile away," said Elder Han, watching the confused look of Zemin Yan turn into surprise and fear.

However, Elder Han did not let Zemin Yan worry about the possibility of being robbed, soon he pulled a black rope around his neck and there was an old beaten copper ring, which was very similar to the ring that Zemin Yan himself carried in his neck.

The 10-year-old child was shocked to his core by seeing a ring similar to the one he carried, but Elder Han's nostalgic and friendly smile made Zemin Yan even more confused.

"This ring of copper is a special ring. Me and his father, along with some friends we met in a tomb of a Martial Emperor about 100 years ago. Our group passed many dangers to obtain these treasures, but all were sworn brothers, we were all a big family. This treasure had 6 copper rings, each copper ring had a myriad of treasures, we were 5 people. As his father was the leader at the time, in addition to the strongest fighter, he had two rings "said Elder Han with a look full of longing, there was even a solitary smile on his mature face.

Zemin Yan was silent, sighing internally about how he had the "bad luck" to find a friend of his father while trying to pretend to be a pig.

"So, was my father part of the great Celestial Sword sect?" asked Zemin Yan curious. If his father was part of the Celestial Sword sect, then it made sense that in his ring there were as many swords as weapons and even swords that were divine artifacts!

"No, your father was just a wandering cultivator!" said Elder Han, laughing happily, for he remembered well when he confronted his friend in a battle when he found it unpleasant that he mocked his sect, but in the end, it was Elder Han himself who took a beating during the battle.

"But ..." Zemin Yan was even more confused about this, for if his father was not part of the Celestial Sword sect, then how did Elder Han know his father and befriended him?

"That's a long story, I'll tell you little Yan when you're older," Elder Han said with a solemn look, leaving Zemin Yan even more curious about how his father met this powerful specialist.

"There is no way I should tell this child that his father beat me until I swore allegiance to him and his family! Ahhh very shameful!" Elder Han thought without even a trace of shame on his face.

"Elder, how can you feel the presence of this ring, I can not feel the presence of your copper ring?" asked Zemin Yan suspiciously, after all, not all his father's friends would be calm and composed knowing that a ring full of wonderful items is in the hand of an orphaned child.

"When you marked the ring with your blood and your conscience, did you feel a strong power blocking your consciousness and sealing the many treasures within the ring?" Elder Han asked with a very soft smile on his face.

"Yes, I am weak and my conscience is weak, so I thought the ring was very powerful and did not accept me as its owner," said Zemin Yan holding the copper ring with his small, thin hand.

"There are many things I want to tell you, as this ring is still in the possession of your father and does not accept another owner, because he only recognizes his father as owner. Only if your father dies and you are stronger than your father is that the ring can accept you as its owner. The only reason you could access part of the contents of this ring is simply that your father allowed or left his will with that ring, "said Elder Han thoughtfully while his calm voice sounded in the open field.

Zemin Yan still had a lot of things he wanted to ask Elder Han, but Han Yie did not allow him to ask too many questions, for the time being, Elder Han controlled this testing place, but that did not mean there were no people of the Celestial Sword sect who could be spying Elder Han.

Of course, Elder Han had already placed an invisible barrier around the two so the messages could not be heard, but it was still risky to stay in a place with so many eyes and ears!

"Zemin Yan, let's continue with the test. I will give you this formula of the martial pill (common / bronze) and the ingredients. The minimum time to prepare this pill is 10 hours, but taking into account that you are still weak I will give you the time of 20 hours to complete the pill, in addition, do not worry about the general test, with your extraordinary sacred element, you are more than qualified to enter my Heavenly Sword sect "said Elder Han collecting the materials and the spiritual pill formula from the ten-year-old's hands.

Obviously, Elder Han had already removed the invisible barrier, so all "ears" could hear Elder Han's conversation with Zemin Yan. This was done to show that Zemin Yan would still test for his skills and that there would be no "favoritism" in Elder Han's selection.

It should be noted that there are four ways for a disciple of the Celestial Sword sect to get more resources from the hand of the sect, the first is its affinity with the sword. Being the most important sword is the Wu Jian (Dragon's Sword) and the least important is the Chien sword (wooden training sword).

The second way is by the elements that the disciple has more affinity, mainly, its first element that will be the basis for the other elements, the elements most important to the Celestial Sword sect: 1. Time / Space; 2. Wind; 3. Light; 4. Darkness; 5. Water; 6. Fire; 7. Earth; 8. Wood;

The sacred element and the demonic element are inherent elements of the body, that is, it can only be obtained in two ways, by the bloodline - birth - or by a blood baptism of a sacred high-grade beast or a high devil -degree. So they are considered very extraordinary elements, but each legendary hero who emerged from the Dark Ages had one of these elements as the basis of his martial cultivation.

Of course, the time/space element was very rare as well, but humans could still be born with an affinity for these elements, unlike the sacred element. The sacred element has no affinity or can be trained, or you are born with that element in your blood or you are baptized, receiving the memories on how to train the sacred element, but it was a training that involves the soul of the cultivator, is not something that can be learned in the early stages of cultivation, no matter how intelligent a human being is.

However, humans can learn about the sacred and demonic elements, only that understanding can only be obtained when the immortal kingdom is reached! Then it would not do any good, for until reaching this immortal realm the cultivator will have reached the limit of how much his body can withstand with the elemental energies.

The human body can not take more than 3 elemental energies in its body because the elements can conflict and the body can shatter or the cultivator can become an irrational monster!

Of course, there are exceptions, for example, people who are born with an affinity for double elements - such as, Chu Yue - or who have a special bloodline. This allows the martial cultivator to master 4 elements and a maximum of 5 elements in his body.

What makes the sacred element and the demonic element special is the fact that it is an element that can control the other elements, that is, who is a cultivator of the sacred element can dominate all the elements around him without having to incorporate in his body!

Now let us return to the ways of getting more resources from the Celestial Sword sect, the third form has to do with the spirit, which is different from the soul. Here in this world the term spirit is used for the power of heaven and earth, but it does not feed the body, but the palace of nirvana. The power of the spirit is the power of the nirvana palace. The soul is something that is very mystical and the essence of most sentient beings and also considered the third power of humans, the first being the martial body and the second spirit of nirvana.

Who has a powerful soul for mastering both the martial body and the spirit of nirvana, which would make this person an invincible hero!

Ordinary people are born with their locked nirvana palaces, even martial growers only awaken their nirvana palace with 100% certainty when they reach the mid-level Aurore Core Kingdom.

However, talented martial growers can awaken their nirvana palace in the Kingdom of the Foundation, thus allowing for rapid power increase and also absorbing more cultivation techniques, in addition to high intelligence.

The fourth method of getting more resources from the Celestial Sword sect is the aura. As has been said previously, the spirit and soul are different, the aura comes from the soul, they can also be known as soul force. This aura is divided by level and characteristics. There are hundreds of different auras, but the best are 1. Aura of Life; 2. Aura of Death; 3. Asura Aura; 4. Aura of Destruction; 5. Aura of Killing; 6. Aura of the Future; 7. Aura of Desires and 8. Aura of the Sword.

A human cultivator may even have two auras, of course, it will depend on the strength of his soul and his martial cultivation path, some Dark Age heroes had up to 3 different auras. However, 3 auras are problematic and dangerous, which can cause crop diversion and even personality breakdown, making the grower crazy!

For the Celestial Sword sect, the Asura Aura, Aura of Killing and the Aura of the Sword, they are the strength of the soul most appreciated, as it matches the path of the founder's sword, which possessed these three auras.

The geniuses of the Celestial Sword sect and the disciples belonging to the core of the sect have one of these three auras.

Soon, Zemin Yan will be treated well, only by possessing the sacred element as its main element, although it is somewhat disappointing that this child has had an affinity for the wooden sword.

Zemin Yan gave a shy smile to Elder Han, the elder rolled his eyes at that smirk and replied with a warm and gentle smile. In other words, they were two pigs smiling at each other!
