102: Chapter 005 Three Souls and Seven Spirits, Emperor Qi Wasted Body 102: Chapter 005 Three Souls and Seven Spirits, Emperor Qi Wasted Body “Every Cultivator has, and only has one type of Sword Body!

Just like Zhou Yan, if he also had the ability of a Soul-controlling Sword Body, then he would be an Emperor Qi Soul-controlling Sword Body, still an Emperor Qi Sword Body, but such a case requires a combination of bloodlines.

It requires a true Soul-controlling Sword Body and a true Emperor Qi Sword Body to unite, and the offspring they produce might then have this constitution, though even this possibility is not great.”

The young Ancestor closely sensed Zhou Yan again before continuing, “His Soul is very strong, and his cultivation and Enlightenment transformation process are also very stable and rapid, but he is not a Soul-controlling Sword Body.

As for others, like Sky Demon Sword Body, he is not; he simply excels in all aspects of cultivation and has built a solid foundation in his realm.”

The young Ancestor carefully sensed Zhou Yan’s vital energy, thoroughly analyzed Zhou Yan’s specific situation, and answered Zhou Yan’s questions along with the doubts of other people from the Great Zhou Family.

Hearing such words, everyone from the Great Zhou Family found it somewhat unimaginable.

“Dual Qi Pillars can reveal that a person’s family once had an Emperor Qi Sword Body, thus possessing certain Emperor Qi Sword Body bloodline, but it doesn’t mean having such a bloodline definitely results in such a constitution, because in the case of Emperor’s Arc, the vast majority of Cultivators with Emperor Qi Sword Body bloodline cannot condense it.

This is the case with Zhou Ying.

Without condensing the Emperor’s Arc, the calculation for Qi Pillars is not multiplicative, but additive.

Therefore, Zhou Ying’s situation results in three plus three equals six.

Even if she had Dual Qi Pillars, each being five, it would only be five plus five equals ten, yet unrelated to Emperor Qi Sword Body!

However, because she possesses certain characteristics of an Emperor Qi Sword Body and similar Emperor Qi within her body, it’s utterly normal.

I previously said that the Great Zhou Family has four great talents with good bloodlines, I was not wrong.

Although Zhou Ying is not an Emperor Qi Sword Body, she is a Heavenly Spirit Sword Body, a true Heavenly Spirit Sword Body.

Just like the Emperor Qi Sword Body, the Heavenly Spirit Sword Body requires the awakening of the Heavenly Sword Eye, and Zhou Ying already has an emerging Heavenly Sword Eye.

And Zhou Han you mentioned?

He can’t awaken the Heavenly Sword Eye, so he is a false Heavenly Spirit Sword Body.”

The Ancestor seriously commented, disseminating a series of true knowledge which led many people from the Great Zhou Family to realize, that many years ago, every type of Sword Body carried so many details and was classified with strict criteria.

“Ancestor, who are the other two Sword Bodies you mentioned?”

Zhou Cangmu couldn’t help but inquire.

Passing on such knowledge, because it’s not detailed, even if errors occur, he didn’t feel any shame, and thus he began to ask.

“Zhou Qianqian’s Sword Body, even many years ago, was also a very dominating Sword Body, known as the Soul Devouring Sword Body.

It gains unparalleled progress by Enlightenment, devouring the Spirit, Qi, and Souls of dead Cultivators and Demon Beasts, an aberrant type of Sword Body.

Such a Sword Body can easily lead to Evil Cultivation, as the Soul Devouring Sword Body itself grows exceedingly fast and gains astonishing strength.

So preferably, if there’s a source of Life Energy—like the water from Spiritual Lotus Spring—to periodically baptize and cleanse the Soul, she could be a genius with terrifying potential!

But Life Energy…

This kind of energy is extremely precious, and the cost to nurture such a genius is unimaginable.”

The Ancestor’s words made everyone look towards Zhou Qianqian for the first time, this exceptionally beautiful sixteen-year-old girl, who could actually assimilate the Spirit, Qi, and Souls of dead Cultivators and Demon Beasts for her Enlightenment and growth, this was somewhat frightful!

Her cultivation speed must be unimaginable.

“The last one is the Ancestor Thunder Sword Body.

Zhou Gucheng?

This boy’s Sword Body belongs to the older generation who died but preserved their Sword Souls, passed down to him through a Secret Technique to unlock the bloodline he inherently possesses.

The Ancestor Thunder Sword Body can manipulate Thunder, often enveloping oneself in myriad thunderbolts; once cultivated, can be compared to the greatness of an Emperor Qi Sword Body in its ultimate imperishable Emperor form…

The Great Zhou Family, having four great Sword Bodies appear, any one of them, actually, in my era, would have been a sensation in the world…

It seems the Nine Origin Reincarnation has begun, and indeed a generation of geniuses has emerged.”

The young Ancestor couldn’t help but muse thoughtfully.

At this moment, after his explanations, when people looked again at the four persons of Zhou Yan, they felt incredibly astonished.

Even knowing that these four individuals possessed extraordinary talent and brilliance, they hadn’t expected that these people could compare to the peerless genius figures from the Ancestor’s era.

“In the future, if you wish to gain profound depth and formidable invincible combat power, focusing on one’s own Sword Body is very necessary.

Zhou Yan, you just concentrate on perceiving the Emperor Qi Sword Body; there’s no need to be distracted or concern yourself with Soul-controlling or Sky Demon Sword Bodies, as they are irrelevant to you!”

After finishing his words, the Ancestor’s expression became much more somber as he stared at Zhou Yan and earnestly cautioned him.

“Yes, Ancestor, your disciple understands!”

Zhou Yan immediately bowed deeply, speaking very respectfully.

This young Ancestor, having experienced countless ages, was now offering good advice, and Zhou Yan naturally wouldn’t be ungrateful, not even lacking in basic respect.

“Zhou Ying, from now on focus on the Heavenly Spirit Sword Body!”

“Yes, Ancestor!

Disciple also keeps in mind the Ancestor’s teachings.”

Zhou Ying also responded immediately with utmost respect.

“Zhou Qianqian and Zhou Gucheng, each of you focus on your own Soul Devouring Sword Body and Ancestor Thunder Sword Body, deeply perceive, and naturally you will gain the capability for Sudden Enlightenment intrinsic to your respective Sword Bodies, learning by yourselves these Sword Body’s mighty aspects.”

The Ancestor instructed.

“Ancestor, your disciple understands.”

Zhou Qianqian and Zhou Gucheng both bowed in turn.

“Good, remember my words well.

You four, having such Sword Bodies in this era, are all favorites of the heavens, with the hope of reaching the profound depths of Sword Dao.

But, do not become complacent because of this, as this millennium, aside from you, will also see the emergence of many geniuses, and moreover, there are many strong figures capable of opening the pathways to the Void, who will seal many geniuses of the Ancient Times within Time-Space Turbulence and deep within various ancient relics, sending them into our Sword Burial Ancestor Star in this era…

Thus, your path is destined to be one of much bloodshed and many corpses.”

“If you become complacent just because you are talented, you won’t even know how you die in the future!”

Those geniuses from various ages, the closer their era was to ancient times, the richer the life energy in their bodies!

Even in the era I lived in ten thousand years ago, the geniuses of that time could truly condense the Three Souls and Seven Spirits, becoming true Great Perfection Sword Dao geniuses.

Now, I sense that in the entire Carefree Main City, hmm, it is now called ‘Carefree Main City,’ there are no Sword Spirit Great Perfection Sword Dao geniuses.

But in our time, Sword Dao geniuses, condensing Three Souls and Seven Spirits, striving for Great Perfection, was a goal every Cultivator would strive for.

Not everyone could achieve it, of course, but most could condense Dual Sword Souls or even Three Sword Spirits!

When I, Ancestor Zhou Qian, was in my prime, I was also an exceptional talent; otherwise, I wouldn’t have been placed in the Void Ancient Coffin and sealed until today.

But I, the Ancestor, only had Dual Sword Souls and Four Sword Spirits, and even now, my Sword Spirit Realm is not yet complete.”

The words of Ancestor Zhou Qian shocked all the Cultivators, including Zhou Yan.

It turns out that the Ancestor was not an antiquated hermit but a genius sealed until today!

And the Ancestor was also a Supreme Strongman with Dual Sword Souls and Four Sword Spirits!

So, in the Sword Soul and Sword Spirit Realm, there is also something called the ‘Three Souls and Seven Spirits’?

While others were just shocked, Zhou Yan, on the other hand, thought of his Master’s world on Earth.

In that world, even a normal person had myths and legends about possessing Three Souls and Seven Spirits…

Was this just a coincidence, or did the people of that world inherently possess endless, terrifying potential?

Zhou Yan couldn’t know, but clearly, he felt that having Three Sword Souls was likely not the limit.

“Ancestor, is Three Souls and Seven Spirits the limit?” Zhou Yan asked seriously.

“Hmm, your question is excellent, and it’s just what I was about to explain to you all!

For ordinary people, yes!

But for those with an Emperor Qi Sword Body, no!

Because an Emperor Qi Sword Body is equivalent to having Three Qi Columns, and if one Qi Column corresponds to Three Souls, then the limit is nine!

Normally, Nine Sword Souls are the limit for an Emperor Qi Sword Body, so twenty-one Sword Spirits would also be the limit.

But that’s not necessarily the case.

Because Three Souls and Seven Spirits correspond to the Sword Dao in relation to the soul.

And the transformation between Sword Souls and Sword Spirits is one-to-one.

The extreme of Breaking Nine is ten.

Therefore, the limit could be Nine Souls and Ten Spirits.

That is to say, a Great Perfection Emperor Qi Sword Body can attain Nine Sword Souls and then Ten Sword Spirits.

But historically, there are no precedents.

The strongest Emperor Qi Sword Body condensed Seven Sword Souls and Seven Sword Spirits, and with one sword strike, heaven and earth trembled, shocking all ages…

But this is not to say that this situation cannot be broken.

Because the Emperor Qi Sword Body represents the rules of demolishing heaven and earth, not confined within the Heavenly Dao or derived from the Life Chart, representing endless possibilities.

So it really depends on each individual’s potential.

The greater your potential, the more Sword Souls you can condense!

In my view, with your potential, if it doesn’t decline, condensing four Sword Souls and seven Sword Spirits shouldn’t be too difficult.”

Ancestor Zhou Qian spoke earnestly.

At this moment, everyone looked at Zhou Yan with envy and awe, clearly understanding more about the challenges of Sword Souls and Sword Spirits, and also realizing their benefits.

“So that’s how it is…” Zhou Yan seemed enlightened.

“Yes, having heard such things, you must all be immensely envious of the Emperor Qi Sword Body, right?

But…”

Ancestor Zhou Qian spoke, his expression tinged with a bitter smile.

“I’m not trying to discourage you, but the cultivation of the Emperor Qi Sword Body is incredibly difficult, unimaginable for ordinary Cultivators.

A talented Cultivator normally needs fifty years to break through from the Sword Heart to the Sword Spirit Realm.

But for Zhou Yan, this difficulty multiplies with the number of his Qi Columns and the stages within each column.

That is to say, he now has Three Qi Columns and Five Qi Stages; thus, the difficulty multiplies five times five and then five again.

For a normal genius, it’s fifty years, Zhou Yan’s difficulty of breaking through is 125 times that base!

Therefore, under normal circumstances, his time to break through would be fifty years multiplied by 125, totaling six thousand two hundred and fifty years!

That’s why in that era, an Emperor Qi Sword Body that did not cultivate Sword Souls and Sword Spirits was also called ‘Emperor Qi Wasted Body.’

This was why I was surprised to see such a lineage with almost no resources possessing such a powerful Emperor Qi Sword Body!

But when I found out that Zhou Yan reached this realm in just four years, you should now understand why I was so astonished.

Because Zhou Yan’s cultivation speed has surpassed that of the initial cultivation speed of the strongest Emperor Qi Sword Body with Seven Souls and Seven Spirits!

This means…

Zhou Yan also has the potential to cultivate the Emperor Qi Sword Body up to the Sword Spirit and even the ‘Void’ Realm!”

The words of the Ancestor left everyone in awe.
