Chen Lin looked at the lightning-struck wood in his hand and fell into deep thought.
At this moment, the lightning-struck wood has been simply refined and its shape has turned into a flying sword.
It is about half a foot long, two fingers wide, and has a scorched lake color.
However, if the flying sword is to be used as desired, various spiritual prohibitions need to be engraved on it.
For example, if you want to enlarge or shrink it, you need a spiritual restriction to change its size. If you want to cut gold and jade, you need a spiritual restriction to increase its sharpness. If you want to make it strong, you need a spiritual restriction to increase its solidity.
Without these matching spiritual restrictions, the flying sword would just be a dead object.
"That makes no sense. This lightning-struck wood has clearly generated spiritual energy and is fully capable of carrying spiritual restrictions. Even if the material grade is low and cannot carry too much, it shouldn't be so bad that not even one spiritual restriction can be engraved successfully, right?"
Chen Lin muttered to himself.
"Is it because my method is wrong?"
He thought about it, but immediately shook his head.
It was not the first time that he had engraved spiritual restrictions on spiritual treasures. He was the one who completed the spiritual restrictions when refining the Black Tortoise Shield. Later, he also engraved the treasure restrictions when repairing the Immortal Refining Gourd, and everything went very smoothly.
But this time something unexpected happened.
As soon as the spiritual ban is engraved, it will immediately dissipate and cannot exist within the flying sword.
With doubts, Chen Lin's mind moved, and the line of destiny appeared in his mind. Then he began to imagine engraving a certain spiritual ban, but just like before, the line lit up quickly and was intact. Not to mention being broken, there was not even a gap.
This situation shows that with his current strength, engraving this spiritual restriction will be no problem and he will definitely succeed.
He frowned and put away his innate ability.
Then, he placed the flying sword in place again and began to engrave the spiritual restriction that was best and easiest for changing its size.
The whole process went surprisingly smoothly. It took less than a quarter of an hour to complete the engraving of the entire spiritual ban.
With a flash of light, the spiritual ban disappeared into the sword.
Normally, this would be considered a success.
But a familiar scene appeared soon after. He saw the spiritual ban disappear behind him, and in his perception it became fainter little by little, and finally disappeared into thin air.
Chen Lin put away his perception, looked at the flying sword in a daze, and pondered the reason.
This is definitely not normal.
Even the lines of destiny showed that it would succeed, so there was absolutely no problem with his engraving technique. In fact, he did successfully engrave the spiritual ban into the flying sword.
As for why it disappeared later, it must have been due to other reasons.
The biggest possibility is naturally a problem with the materials.
However, the spiritual charm of the lightning-struck wood is real and cannot be faked. Materials with spiritual charm can carry spiritual restrictions. This is common knowledge in refining equipment.
After pondering for a while, in order to verify his doubts, Chen Lin began to engrave the formation pattern again.
This time he did not engrave a spiritual ban, but chose the simplest ordinary low-level treasure ban, wanting to see if he could succeed.
The inscription of the treasure ban was completed in one go, and then it disappeared into the sword body in a flash.
But Chen Lin's face changed immediately. This time, the treasure ban dissipated faster and he lost the sense almost as soon as it disappeared.
It’s not a question of the material’s carrying capacity.
For a material with spiritual aura, it would be a waste of resources to carry ordinary treasure bans, and it is impossible for it to fail.
So.
Chen Lin looked at the obscure dark gold pattern on the sword.
If there is anything special about this lightning-struck wood, it is this lightning pattern. It is precisely because of this lightning pattern that this piece of wood has transformed from decay into something magical and become the material of a spiritual treasure.
If it’s not a problem with the material, it can only be due to the thunder pattern.
He extended his spiritual sense and tried to establish a connection with the lightning pattern, but there was no response. He tried again with his magic power, but it was still useless.
Then, he tried using his soul power again, but it still didn't work.
In the end, he even tried the power of the Dharmakaya, but the spiritual pattern did not change at all. It was just a line with the aura of thunder.
This made Chen Lin depressed, but also made him angry, and he had to figure it out thoroughly.
In the following time, he put aside everything else and concentrated on studying the flying sword made of lightning-struck wood. Every day, in addition to looking for relevant books in the market, he also did various experiments.
Finally, he discovered the clue.
Chen Lin discovered that the more complex the spiritual restriction, the slower it would dissipate after being successfully engraved, and the process of dissipating defensive spiritual restrictions would be even slower.
After he engraved the most complex defensive spiritual ban on the Black Tortoise Shield onto the flying sword, changes finally occurred.
After the spiritual ban was successfully hidden, it took a long time to dissipate. Then the dark gold lines on the flying sword suddenly brightened, and then the spiritual ban disappeared.
Chen Lin looked at the dark gold patterns on the flying sword with an incredible look on his face.
It turns out that the spiritual ban could not be maintained and was dispelled by the lightning pattern. This thing is actually xenophobic!
His eyes gradually brightened.
The Lingban is a very high-level forbidden magic array. Once formed, it can operate automatically and is extremely powerful. However, this small lightning strike pattern can easily disperse it!
What level is this Thunder Pattern
It seems like I have found a treasure.
After a while of excitement, Chen Lin calmed down.
No matter how good a treasure is, it has to be usable.
The power of the lightning pattern is so strong that the value of this material naturally rises. The people of the Crystal Clan probably haven't discovered this secret, so he can be considered to have picked up a leak.
However, with this lightning pattern, other spiritual prohibitions cannot be engraved, and the effectiveness of the flying sword cannot be guaranteed.
The Thunder Pattern only has the ability to absorb and compress the power of thunder and lightning. It cannot be used as a normal flying sword, let alone exert the power of a spiritual treasure.
in addition.
He was unable to establish a connection with the lightning pattern, so naturally he could not control it with his mind and could only use it in his hands.
Such a small sword is too useless for close combat, and it cannot be stored in the body for nurturing and upgrading. It is far from the spiritual treasure-level flying sword he expected.
After thinking for a while, Chen Lin stood up and left the room.
Next, he continued to look up information and collect materials for experiments.
But in the end, nothing was gained.
Although this lightning pattern is very small and faint, it is extremely overbearing. No matter what method is used, it is impossible to engrave other forbidden treasures into it. No matter what level or type, it will be dispelled immediately once engraved.
After consulting numerous documents, no information related to this lightning pattern was found.
Chen Lin even asked Yu Guangyan indirectly about what the interface of the lightning-struck wood was like and whether there were any intelligent species there. If possible, he planned to hire someone to go to that interface to find a solution.
But the other party's answer blocked his thoughts.
According to Yu Guangyan, when the disciples of their clan discovered that interface, it was on the verge of collapse. The other party only had time to collect some items in the wilderness that were different from the world of immortal cultivation and then hurried back.
I had no idea what the situation was there, and the node disappeared shortly after I came out, and I had no ability to get in again.
Chen Lin didn't know whether the other party was making an excuse or really said that, but since the other party said so, his hope of finding the answer from the place of origin would be shattered.
There was no other choice, so he continued to look through the books, looking for the answer.
He had a feeling that the lightning patterns on this lightning-struck wood were definitely extraordinary, so he didn't mention it to anyone and just investigated it secretly.
Another month passed.
Chen Lin basically read all the books available in the market and spent a lot of spirit stones, but did not find any relevant information.
He even went to the gate of Yingyue Palace, used some of Murong Qing's favors, and looked through the inheritance books of Yingyue Palace, but gained nothing.
Finally, he made a decision and decided to give the Mark of Thundergod a try.
In the secret room.
Chen Lin sat upright on the cushion with a solemn expression.
The Mark of Thundergod is related to the inheritance of his martial arts. The part after the Nascent Soul stage has not been unsealed yet. In order to prevent accidents, he basically does not touch it.
Moreover, it is not easy to activate this mark. It is difficult to do it with one's own magic power alone. The last time he activated it, he used two inner cores of thunder-attributed demon beasts at the god-transformation level, thus obtaining the magical power of Five Thunders.
This time he did not have the inner elixir of a divine beast, but he spent a large sum of money to buy two golden thunder stones. The thunder power contained in them was extremely pure and should be able to activate the mark of the Thunder God.
After some preparation, Chen Lin began to absorb the power of thunder from the golden thunder stone.
He concentrated his mind highly and decided to interrupt the action if he found anything abnormal. Although communicating with the lightning patterns on the lightning-struck wood was important, it was not as important as his inheritance.
In fact, he also wanted to try to see if he could obtain another magical spell this time. Otherwise, he would not have activated it just for the thunder pattern.
As the power of thunder was absorbed, Chen Lin gradually felt the mark of the Thunder God that had been dormant. When the power of thunder from the two golden thunder stones was exhausted, the mark finally began to fluctuate.
However, the expected spell inheritance did not appear. It was just pure energy fluctuation, and it seemed like it was about to go out.
He immediately tried to control this wave and connect it with the lightning pattern on the flying sword.
"Buzz!"
Chen Lin's head buzzed, and the scene of integrating the Thunder God's Mark reappeared in his mind.
He seemed to be in a sea of thunderstorms. The figure of a giant emerged and with a wave of his hand, he gathered the thunder between heaven and earth in his hand.
"thunder!"
It was the same strange syllable that could be understood naturally, and then the giant nodded lightly.
Chen Lin felt an invisible energy coming out from the mark between his eyebrows and falling on the flying sword in his hand. The lightning pattern on the flying sword in his hand suddenly seemed to come alive, and after a while of squirming, it took the flying sword with it and drilled into his body along his eyebrows!
At the same time, he felt a sense of life and death connection with the flying sword.
The imprint of the natal flying sword was completed naturally!
Chen Lin was overjoyed.
In this way, even if it is impossible to engrave other spiritual prohibitions on the flying sword, it can still be used as if it were an arm, and it can be nurtured and upgraded.
But before he could be happy, he suddenly felt a sharp pain between his eyebrows, and countless pieces of information were released from the Mark of Thundergod, instantly filling his mind!
