Secular Immortal of the Nine Realms Chapter 190: Century Scarlet Fruit

Just as the two of them were about to investigate the hill, Li Xiuming suddenly whizzed across the sky with Chaoxianggong Nisheng, with a black shadow chasing after them. It was the same black shadow who had pursued them earlier.

“Those two are capable of sword flight!” Li Daoye was envious.

“Is sword flight difficult?” Fang Chen casually asked.

The Three Thousand Dao Gate’s initiate manual he received from Elder Cloudcrane only contained a cultivation method and the method to create Strength Talisman, Flitting Talisman, Protection Talisman, and Purple Lightning Talisman.

“Of course it’s difficult! You can’t just fly on any random sword. You have to first nurture your own sword embryo,” Li Daoye said. “Nurturing a sword embryo is equivalent to forging a flying sword that’s uniquely yours. Others will struggle to assimilate the flying sword even if the owner dies. That’s why flying swords are also classified as ego artifacts.

“Well, it doesn’t necessarily have to be a sword though. There are cultivators who nurture all kinds of weirdly-shaped artifacts for that purpose too. It boils down to your own preference.”

“Oh?” Fang Chen’s interest was piqued. “How are ego artifacts different from normal artifacts?”

“Normal artifacts already have a fixed form, but ego artifacts are different. They are forged by nourishing artifacts that have daosoul imprints but haven’t taken a fixed form yet. It’s a method known as ego nurturing. Such legacies can’t be found in normal sects. Even in Infernoblaze, there’s no more than a handful of sects that have such a legacy,” Li Daoye said.

“Our Eight Trigrams Sect has disciples venturing out of the sect to explore the world each year, and one of the things we hope to find is an ego nurturing method. It’s fine even if it’s an inferior ego nurturing method—it’ll still be stronger than ordinary artifacts, not to mention we can fly on it.”

Fang Chen’s interest deepened after hearing that. I wonder if there are any ego nurturing methods here. It’d be convenient if I could fly on a sword.
