Chapter 434 Flying with a Sword
In her previous life, Shen Rugo's greatest strengths were research and data analysis, as well as her ability to use her brain to explore things that others couldn't!
A bold idea took shape in her mind: spiritual power is also a kind of energy. Why not use a special method to infuse it into the longsword to form a force field similar to "recoil" and "levitation" to lift herself up and fly?
Just do it.
She took out a mid-grade magic weapon, the sword Flowing Cloud, and began to test it. This sword was taken from the Star Palace Secret Realm.
The first time, she poured a large amount of spiritual power into the sword, wanting the flying sword to carry her.
As a result, although the flying sword floated up, she fell down with a cry of pain as soon as she stood on it, getting a mouthful of mud.
The second time, she adjusted her spiritual energy output, attempting to create a stable platform beneath her feet.
The platform was indeed formed, but it was extremely clumsy to move and consumed a lot of spiritual energy. It lost control again before it had flown ten meters and crashed into a big tree, instantly causing a large bump to swell up on its forehead.
The third time, the fourth time...
For the next hour or two, screams of pain, "bang," "crack," and "ouch," echoed from the desolate mountains and wilderness.
Shen Rugo was like a child learning to walk, trying again and again, failing time and time again, getting bruised and battered, and aching all over.
Sometimes she would stand on one foot on the sword and sway precariously, and sometimes she would crawl on the sword like an octopus, her postures were so bizarre that anyone who saw her would surely find it hilarious.
But she did not give up and persevered.
After each failure, she carefully summarized her experience and adjusted the subtle angle, frequency, and intensity of her spiritual energy output. She used her powerful divine sense to precisely control every strand of spiritual energy, simulating the trajectory of a soaring bird and feeling the power of the wind.
Hard work pays off.
Two hours later, after countless falls and struggles, she finally found that mysterious sense of balance!
Golden spiritual energy coiled around the longsword like silk threads, forming a stable spiritual energy field beneath the blade.
She carefully stepped onto it, and with a slight thought, the flying sword trembled and floated up from the ground.
Although it was slow and its flight path was erratic, like it was drunk, it eventually took off steadily!
"Success! I succeeded!"
Shen Rugo stood on the flying sword several feet above the ground, arms outstretched, her face flushed with excitement.
Even though her body was still swaying slightly, the joy and sense of accomplishment made her forget all her fatigue and pain.
After gaining the ability to fly on a sword, Shen Rugo did not rush to continue her journey.
The Qingyuan Sect suffered heavy losses this time and will certainly not let it go. They may very well ambush her on the way, or even target the people of the Star Palace.
"We're not strong enough! We need to prepare more life-saving items!"
As her realm and strength increased significantly, her understanding and depiction of runes and formations also improved accordingly.
She found a safe valley and began frantically making talismans and inscribing arrays.
Creating runes requires extremely pure spiritual power and a powerful divine soul.
Shen Rugo calmed her mind, took out her talisman brush, drew upon the golden spiritual power within her dantian, connected with the power of heaven and earth, and began to draw talismans.
Thunderstorm Talisman, Fire Dragon Talisman, Ice Cone Talisman, Vajra Talisman, Gale Talisman, Geng Metal Thunder Talisman...
Various attack, defense, and support runes were constantly created under her hands, each one radiating a spiritual aura and emitting a heart-palpitating energy fluctuation.
What surprised her even more was that the runes she could draw at will could now reach the mid-grade or even high-grade level 5.
The inscription of the array plate is even more complex.
She took out the array plate she had brought from the Star Palace Secret Realm, and immersed her powerful divine sense into it, carefully inscribing various array patterns such as spirit gathering, illusion, trapping enemies, and killing.
Thanks to her profound understanding of the Dao, the array patterns she inscribed were closer to the laws of nature, perfectly natural, and far more powerful than before.
She made a dozen or so array plates with different functions in one go, including the Illusion Array, the Nine Palaces Trapping Array, the Minor Five Elements Sword Array, and even several Nine Dragons Fire Arrays.
Looking at the runes and array plates, Shen Rugo felt her confidence surge, and she couldn't help but laugh heartily, hands on her hips: "Hahaha! Let's see who dares to mess with me now!"
She leaped onto the longsword, infused it with golden spiritual power, and soared into the sky.
Feeling that his speed wasn't fast enough, he cast a level 5 Gale Talisman on himself, instantly increasing his speed dramatically. His figure streaked across the sky like a meteor, speeding towards the direction of the Star Palace, which he had roughly determined.
However, after flying for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Shen Rugo changed her mind and adjusted her direction, flying towards the approximate location of Burial Immortal Valley.
She wanted to check on the situation after the various factions left, and also to confirm whether her fellow disciples from the Star Palace had evacuated safely.
As she flew on her sword to the sky above the mountains less than two hundred miles from the edge of Burial Valley, a surprised exclamation suddenly came from below: "Huh? Look! That, that little girl, she's flying on a sword?!"
The voice came from a group of cultivators dressed in the robes of Misty Peak, who seemed to be taking a temporary rest here.
Everyone stared wide-eyed at Shen Rugo flying low overhead, incredulous. A little girl of about ten years old, at the Foundation Establishment stage, could fly on a sword. This completely defied the common sense of the cultivation world!
The quality and quantity of spiritual power of a Foundation Establishment cultivator are simply insufficient to support long-term flight using objects; this is an ironclad rule!
Unless she possesses a legendary flying artifact or a special physique?
But look at her feet, it's clearly just an ordinary flying sword!
Elder Ma Hongren, who was leading the group, had an unusual gleam in his eyes.
He wasn't shocked, but overjoyed. At such a young age and with such cultivation, she could still master the art of flying on a sword. What an extraordinary and monstrous talent she was! If he could take her under his wing and nurture her carefully, she would surely become a pillar of the sect in the future, and might even lead Misty Peak to surpass Lingxiao Pavilion and become the number one sect in the Tianyuan Continent!
"Young friend! Please wait!"
Ma Hongren flashed, transforming into a streak of light as he gave chase. "I am Ma Hongren, an elder of Misty Peak. I have observed your exceptional talent and have taken a liking to you. Would you be willing to become a disciple of Misty Peak? I would be honored to personally accept you as my personal disciple."
Shen Rugo was startled. How did she end up running into them?
She recognized Elder Ma, who ranked second among the ten major sects of Misty Peak. He was a peak Nascent Soul cultivator. Although she had already established her foundation in the Heavenly Dao, she knew very well that she was no match for Ma Hongren and absolutely could not let him capture her.
Without hesitation, he fully activated the flying sword beneath his feet and simultaneously activated a Gale Talisman on his body.
Its speed increased dramatically again, and it sped off into a dense forest without looking back.
"Hehe, young friend, why be alarmed? I have no ill intentions."
Seeing this, Ma Hongren smiled slightly, quickened his pace, and chased after him relentlessly.
With his peak Nascent Soul cultivation, capturing a Foundation Establishment child would be a piece of cake.
Shen Rugo plunged into the mountains, constantly changing direction, but Ma Hongren's divine sense remained firmly locked onto her, and the distance between them continued to close.
Seeing that she was about to be caught up, a sly glint flashed in Shen Rugo's eyes. She suddenly landed in a narrow valley, sheathed her flying sword, and turned to look at Ma Hongren who was rushing towards her.
Seeing Shen Rugo stop, Ma Hongren assumed she had finally come to her senses or was exhausted. A satisfied smile appeared on his face as he slowed down and descended: "It's good that you've come to your senses, young friend..."
However, before he could finish speaking, he saw Shen Rugo smile at him.
That smile was pure and innocent, yet it made his heart skip a beat for no reason.
The next moment, Shen Ruge waved her hand, and several array plates were instantly activated and thrown in all directions!
"buzz"
With a buzzing sound, Ma Hongren felt the scene before him change!
