Demon's Diary
chapter-1417

Just when Liu Ming passed by an inconspicuous corner, the void attribute sword pouch hidden on his waist suddenly trembled. He immediately stopped and looked at the bottom of a shelf.

There was a golden painted scroll placed there. It looked a bit incomplete and rolled together, but there were some flying sword patterns painted on the scroll.

Liu Ming’s eyes flickered. The sword intent just now came from the painted scroll, but it was fleeting. If Sword Maru hadn’t sensed the sword intent, he almost wouldn’t have noticed it with his Divine Thought.

“Shopkeeper, can you show me this?” Liu Ming pointed to the painted scroll and said to the middle-aged shopkeeper.

“Okay, no problem.” The shopkeeper replied quickly and removed the white light enchantment on the shelf.

The white light enchantment immediately opened a gap, and the shopkeeper took out the painted scroll and handed it to Liu Ming.

When Liu Ming touched the painted scroll, the sword pouch on his waist suddenly became hot. The Void Sword Maru buzzed and trembled, but it fell dormant again in the blink of an eye.

He was startled in his heart, but he unfolded the painted scroll as if nothing had happened.

The painting was densely packed with dozens of flying sword patterns.

These flying swords came in different shapes and sizes, but the pattern of each flying sword was lifelike. Even the patterns on the sword were clearly visible as if there were dozens of real flying swords in front of him.

The flying swords on the painted scroll seemed to be arranged in a disorderly manner, but from Liu Ming’s perspective, there were some mysteries hidden in them.

These dozens of flying swords seemed to be arranged in a sword array.

“Although the objects painted on this painted scroll are lifelike, they have no spiritual fluctuations. They seem to be just ordinary objects. Why is it put up for sale here?” Liu Ming looked at it for a moment, then he looked at the shopkeeper.

“Actually, this painted scroll has been for sale for a few years. It was originally a decent magic weapon. After refinement, it can release sword qi to defend against the enemy. But this painted scroll is a bit broken, and its spiritual power is getting worse every year. Thus, it ends up in the current state, but it is absolutely extraordinary.” The shopkeeper said.

“Oh.” Liu Ming nodded while looking at the edge of the painted scroll.

There was an obvious broken part there, which seemed to be pierced by some kind of sharp weapon.

“Although this object is no longer usable, if it can be repaired by a skilled craftsman, it may still be able to regain its power. It is also fate that you can find this object today. If you are interested, I will sell it for 100,000 demonic crystals. What do you think about this offer, Sir?” The shopkeeper glanced at the sword pouch on Liu Ming’s waist and said with a slight smile.

When Liu Ming heard this, his eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.

“Okay, I’ll buy it.” He kept the painted scroll and paid 100,000 demonic crystals to the middle-aged shopkeeper.

Seeing this, the middle-aged shopkeeper smiled and respectfully sent Liu Ming out of the shop.

In the following time, Liu Ming soon returned to Genix Garden.

Qing Yu and others still hadn’t come back yet. Liu Ming shook his head, knowing that it was rare for the younger generation to come to such a prosperous place, so they naturally wanted to go shopping everywhere.

After returning to his room, he casually set up a simple enchantment.

After doing this, Liu Ming sat down, took out the broken painted scroll, and examined it with curiosity.

This scroll, that could emit pure sword intent, was definitely not an ordinary object. He just glanced at it a few times in the shop, and now he naturally wanted to explore it carefully. Maybe there was really some secret hidden in it.

As Liu Ming thought so, he pointed at the painted scroll and unfolded it. The dozens of flying swords on the painting were still lifelike, but there was still no spiritual power fluctuation.

He pondered for a moment and shot a black light into the painted scroll.

The black light flew into the painted scroll in a flash, but it didn’t cause any reaction.

Liu Ming raised his eyebrows without showing any surprise. The painted scroll’s spirituality had basically been lost, so it was normal to show no response.

He thought for a moment, then he placed his palm directly on the painted scroll and injected pure spiritual power into it.

Time passed little by little. After a full quarter of an hour passed, the painted scroll never had any reaction at all.

Liu Ming slowly withdrew his hand. Instead of looking frustrated, he looked slightly joyful.

With his current spiritual power, if he injected all spiritual power, ordinary magic weapons might not be able to withstand the huge spiritual power and burst.

But this painted scroll has withstood so much of his spiritual power and still seemed to be fine. It was definitely not an ordinary magic weapon.

He thought for a moment, then he launched a golden sword qi into the painted scroll.

Liu Ming deliberately controlled the power of the sword qi. As a result, the golden sword qi was directly swallowed by the painted scroll.

The dozens of flying swords on the surface of the painted scroll flashed with golden light, then they dimmed immediately.

Liu Ming couldn’t help but feel excited.

Sure enough, he was right. The wisp of sword intent in the painted scroll did react to his sword qi.

He immediately launched golden sword qi with both hands into the painted scroll.

The painted scroll emitted brighter and brighter golden light, and the dozens of flying sword patterns also become brighter and brighter as if they would fly out from the painted scroll.

However, after the golden light emitted by the painted scroll reached a certain level, no matter how much sword qi Liu Ming injected, the painted scroll no longer had any reaction. It seemed to reach the limit.

Liu Ming kept launching sword qi with a gloomy face.

As time passed, nearly half of his spiritual power had been consumed. Seeing that the painted scroll still showed no response. With a thought, a burst of crisp sword chirp came from his sword pouch.

With a flash of golden light, Void Sword Maru emerged and hovered above the painted scroll.

Sword Maru seemed to sense something, making a cheerful sword chirp while releasing a dazzling golden sword qi.

Liu Ming’s eyes flashed. With a flick of his finger, Void Sword Maru shone brightly and struck the painted scroll with a tick golden sword qi.

Immediately, Void Sword Maru flashed and disappeared into the painted scroll.

Liu Ming was anxious. At this moment, a cracking sound came from the painted scroll.

A golden glow suddenly erupted from the painted scroll, rendering the entire room golden.

Buzz!

The dozens of flying swords on the painted scroll shook and flew out. They danced and slashed in the air as if they were performing an ingenious sword array.

Liu Ming’s eyes flashed, then there was a look of disappointment on his face. Although he had refined Sword Maru early and mastered the art of Tai Gang Sword Controlling Technique with great precision, he was not proficient in sword array.

It was impossible to cast a sword array with only a flying sword. Although the sword array was ingenious, it was useless to him.

The sword array demonstration did not last long. After a few seconds, the golden light emitted by the painted scroll slowly converged, and the dozens of flying swords flashed back to the painted scroll.

Then Sword Maru flew out of the painted scroll. It looked dimmed as if it had lost a lot of vitality.

Liu Ming hurriedly recalled Sword Maru.

As he checked with Divine Thought, a blurry golden light shot out from Sword Maru into Liu Ming’s sea of consciousness. It turned into a golden light and wrapped the black mini figure in the sea of consciousness.

Liu Ming was startled. He grunted with a pale face.

That black mini figure was created by his soul. At this moment, he only felt a sharp pain in his mind.

At this moment, the blurry golden light covering the black mini figure suddenly dispersed and turned into small golden characters, blending into his sea of consciousness.

Liu Ming took a deep breath, then he got over the pain. At the same time, he understood the content of the small golden words.

Moon Destruction Sword Aura Slash!

This was a sword-controlling mystic art. Strictly speaking, it was a special sword technique.

However, this sword technique was completely different from the Tai Gang Sword Controlling Technique that Liu Ming learned before. The Moon Destruction Sword Aura Slash was a technique that stored sword qi in the body and transformed it into a great destructive sword aura. It could be released once when fighting.

This sword technique required very high quality requirements for the flying sword, and the longer the sword aura was stored, the greater the power it would unleash.

According to the description in small golden characters, this sword technique was a demon sword controlling technique created by a demon named Ancestor Qing Mu. He once killed a Mystic Comprehending State powerhouse with this sword technique when he was at the Celestial State.

Liu Ming’s heart was pounding. His Void Sword was extremely powerful. With this sword technique, he had another trump card.

It was a pity that since arriving in Central Imperial City, Mo Tian seemed to have completely hidden himself. Otherwise, he could have asked Mo Tian about the cultivation and origin of this Ancestor Qing Mu.

After a while, Liu Ming took a breath, suppressed his excitement, and picked up the painted scroll on the ground.

This item had become lifeless without spirituality again.

He looked through the painted scroll and put it away.

This item should be left by that Ancestor Qing Mu. It might be useful in the future.

With this thought in mind, he consumed an elixir and channeled Hell Bone Secret to recover his soul and spiritual power.

In the next 2 days, Liu Ming participated in several auctions and exchange meetings between Celestial State demons and bought some precious materials. Especially at one exchange meeting, he bought a piece of blood rot wood at a high price. It was one of the best materials for Mo Tian to condense his demonic body.

TL: But couldn’t he split the sword light into multiples?
