Chapter 5: The Sword Codex

It turns out that Chu He thinks too much.

Not only the sword, Chu He had tried almost all the weapons in the Sumeru bag, but except for the only sword, there was nothing that could cause the change of the scroll.

However, the only sword gave Chu He a surprise.

As a monk who makes knives, most of the fourth young master Chu's collection is still high-quality knives. In case your knife is broken one day, you can also be prepared.

Of course, for ordinary monks, there can only be one sword spirit in the body, and a new weapon must be raised from scratch. And Chu He was surprised to find that if he used a sword, he didn't seem to have this restriction.

The only sword that Chu He turned over from the Sumeru bag was taken by Fourth Young Master Chu from an unknown swordsman. And that swordsman, naturally, is already dead.

At this time, it was already the second day, and Chu He was sitting quietly in the courtyard, with a long sword with a reddish body in front of him.

The name of the sword is Chuyang, which is taken from the meaning of when the rising sun will rise but not rise. Back then, with this sword, the swordsman was also famous in the lower echelons of the Yunzhou cultivation world.

And when Chu He touched his true qi to the Chuyang Sword, the mysterious scroll really responded again. This time, there was no more brilliance, just a tremor, and the Early Yang Sword Soul was successfully sucked away by the mysterious scroll.

Compared with the standard flying sword issued by the Qianyang Martial Sect, the grade of the Chuyang Sword is undoubtedly much higher. Of course, this grade refers to the basic grade of the sword.

Ever since the monks on the continent began to practice martial arts, weapons have gradually become independent from the hierarchy of magic weapons. Because after the cultivation of the monk, the power of the weapon often far exceeds its own rank, and it is not uncommon for the spirit weapon to break the magic weapon with one blow.

Therefore, for many monks, the basic grade of the weapon is actually not too important, and the low grade is just a waste of time, but Chu He has discovered the importance of the high-grade magic sword.

When the sword soul of the Chuyang Sword was taken away by the scroll and also turned into a "dead sword", there was a wave of aura fluctuations in the sword soul.

This discovery made Chu He suddenly startled, and there was a ghostly expression on his face.

Before the Qi refining period, there was essentially no difference between monks and martial artists, they all condensed a breath of true qi without leaking it, and strengthened their bodies with it, at most, the focus of the exercises was a little different.

However, when the true qi in the body has accumulated to a certain extent, the warriors have no way out of the next step, and the Xuanmen monks will enter the qi refining period according to a certain method.

Introducing the aura of heaven and earth into the body and combining it with one's own true qi is the so-called qi induction into the body. At this stage, the true qi in the body is no longer only a mouthful in the chest, but travels all over the body, and can even cast spells, which can be regarded as truly reaching the qi refining stage.

And when the true qi was finally condensed and turned into the true element, the monk would break through the qi refining and successfully build a foundation. Of course, that's all for later.

The problem with Chu He now is that he obviously failed to cause the body to enter the body, but because of the mysterious scroll, a wisp of aura was generated in his body......

What surprised Chu He even more was that the process of releasing the aura of the Chuyang Sword Soul did not mean to stop. And the aura released did not really enter Chu He's body, but was absorbed by the scroll.

Chu He didn't make any superfluous movements, just quietly waited for the change of the picture scroll. He had already faintly realized that the secret of this mysterious scroll was about to be revealed.

The truth seemed to be just as he expected, as more and more aura was released, the color of the First Yang Sword Soul was also slowly fading, as if it would dissipate at any time.

After absorbing a large amount of spiritual energy, the picture scroll in the sea of consciousness began to flicker with colorful light, and an inexplicable spiritual pressure gradually emanated.

The picture scroll was hidden in his body, and Chu He would naturally not be affected by the spiritual pressure, but this did not prevent him from judging the grade of the picture scroll at this time according to the strength of the spiritual pressure.

At least a magic weapon!

The original owner of this body has limited knowledge, and the most powerful magic weapon he has ever seen in his life is just a magic weapon in Chu Xiang's hands, and he doesn't dare to guess it anymore.

And Chu He was even more blind to cultivation, so he could only take one step at a time.

Before Chu He could come back to his senses, there was a sudden loud noise in the sea of knowledge, and the mysterious picture scroll seemed to suddenly burst open, and the original simple and dilapidated drawings were broken one by one.

For the things in his own sea of knowledge, Chu He was naturally able to observe the details, so he discovered the truth behind the broken picture scroll for the first time.

It's not so much that it's broken, but that the mysterious scroll has only then shed its physical shell and truly revealed its true form!

The dark golden lines lit up, and Chu He finally saw the whole picture of this scroll clearly.

Surrounded by countless sword phantoms, and in the center were two huge characters, and they were written in characters that Chu He didn't recognize.

However, although Chu He couldn't recognize what those two words were, he could be sure that this was definitely a text from the earth!

Although the characters of this world are also square characters, they are still very different from ancient Chinese characters, and Chu He can naturally recognize them at a glance.

Chu He was sure that those two characters must be the words of a certain dynasty in history, and most of them were written before the pre-Qin period, but he didn't study them himself and couldn't recognize them.

Two words...... Scroll ...... Could it be the legendary Taiji diagram? With Chu He's not profound knowledge of myths and legends, he can only think of this for the time being.

Just when Chu He secretly felt sorry for himself and lamented that he couldn't really understand the origin of the mysterious scroll, a piece of information came into his mind.

What this information is, even Chu He himself can't describe it, it seems that it can't be described in words.

However, with this information, some of the questions in Chu He's heart were answered.

The name of this scroll is the Sword Codex!

This strange picture scroll is indeed the culprit who brought himself to this world in the first place, and under the turbulence of time and space, the body of the sword code has been destroyed, leaving only a wisp of spiritual sense, and he reluctantly turned himself into Chu He's body.

In other words, at this time, the Sword Code had no substance, and even if someone else dissected Chu He, it would be impossible to find it. On the other hand, it was impossible for Chu He to summon it out of his body, unless he could reshape the body of this sword book in the future.

Of course, Chu He didn't have the idea of summoning it for the time being. First, he didn't want others to know his secrets, and secondly, it was also because the biggest role of the Sword Code was not to fight directly.

The sword spirit that draws out the sword, and then uses itself as a medium to form a situation similar to the sword spirit incarnation, this is the greatest significance of the sword codex. And at this time, Chu He finally understood what the Chu Yang Sword Soul would slowly release its aura after it was withdrawn.

The monk put the soldier spirit in his body to warm up, and after a long time, the weapon will naturally be affected by the monk's internal environment, and the aura on the Chuyang Sword is actually left by its previous owner.

According to the memories in his body, the original owner of the Early Yang Sword was indeed a Qi Refining Stage cultivator. As for how such a strong man could die in the hands of Fourth Young Master Chu, this is not something that Chu He can know.

Chu He gradually broke away from yesterday's memory, and reached out to stroke the Chuyang Long Sword in front of him.

Looking at the lifeless and lifeless Chuyang Sword in front of him, it was almost like he had completely lost his spirituality, Chu He couldn't help but sigh secretly: This sword book is not like a kendo treasure book, but more like a sword path scourge.

However, people have already marked their names, and they can only respect the wishes of the makers.

But soon, Chu He's mood became hot again. Because Chu He had already discovered that on this continent, the Sword Code had another purpose.

The aura contained in the Early Yang Sword, in addition to being used for the opening of the Sword Codex, actually has a large part of it left. According to Chu He's conjecture, these aura sword canons are useless, shouldn't they belong to themselves?

Chu He's conjecture is not unfounded. The monk's practice of cultivating the soul of the soldier was definitely unique to the people of this continent, at least in his previous life, he had never heard of it in some myths and anecdotes.

In other words, since the Sword Book is from Earth, it should not have a mechanism to control the aura. Earlier, it absorbed a part of the aura, but it was only used to open itself.

If Chu He was really able to obtain the aura from the Chuyang Sword Soul, it would mean that he could completely enhance his own cultivation by seizing other people's swords!

In the final analysis, martial arts are only a means to assist cultivation, and cultivation is fundamental.

However, Chu He did not rush to verify whether his conjecture was correct at this time, but instead put away the Chuyang Sword on the stone table.

It was not for nothing that Chu He would wait until the next day. Last night, Chu Yanlan had already asked someone to bring him a message, saying that he had found some clues about Ye Chen, and there should be results soon.

With Chu Yanlan's words, Chu He naturally didn't dare to act rashly. After all, he was only one step away from the Qi Refining Period at this time, and it would not be good if the aura of the Chuyang Sword Soul could really be used for himself and directly advance to the Qi Refining Period.

In fact, after the introductory ceremony of the Qianyang Martial Sect, there was a two-year "elimination period".

If the disciples who entered the sect were unable to induce qi into their bodies within these two years, then they would be expelled from the Qianyang Martial Sect, leaving only the identity of a registered disciple.

Even for people like Chu He, it takes a lot of water grinding to induce qi into the body, and it is by no means something that can be completed overnight. Ye Xin would say the time of "half a year" at the beginning, which was exactly the estimation in her heart of the two of them advancing to the Qi refining period.

It was not strange to be a few months earlier, but if Chu He completed the promotion within a day, it would inevitably make Chu Yanlan suspicious.

For matters related to vital interests, Chu He's patience has always been very good. In such a situation of idleness, he waited for three days, until Chu Yanlan finally came to the door.

"Fourth, Ye Chen's bottom has been carefully investigated!"

Chu Yanlan stepped into the courtyard and couldn't wait to speak.
