56 How to House a Spirit, Zhang Wu Ji Style! 2 (1/2)
”Great Lord! How can this happening!” the Department Head is looking at over a hundred Nature Spirits is fighting against each another for the four limited spots. Plus, when one Nature Spirit is defeated, their power did not disperse but helps the other spirits to grow stronger.
With their numbers slowly diminishing, the fight becomes fiercer, leaving almost no space for the other blacksmiths within the forge to move. Afraid of being an unfortunate soul in between of the four gigantic swords fighting against each other, the crowd disperse and went outside of the forge.
At this moment, only Zhang Wu Ji, Zhang Wu Chou, and the Department Head remained inside the forge, surrounded by the four swords striking at each another. The situation was as if four cultivators fighting against each another until they collapse.
”Department Head, do you know what is happening?” Zhang Wu Chou questioned the most experienced Blacksmith in the whole Heavenly Sword Sect.
”This is... Spirit Sharpening. If I am not mistaken, it should be. The symptom is completely like how the books described. When the forging of a tool entered the state which the Nature Spirit deem that it was qualified to house them, they will fight against each another, until no competitors is left amongst the Nature Spirit.” the Department Head begin to explain the situation to the two as they look at how the sword fly here and there.
Plus, although they were fighting, it was more accurate to call it like the name, Spirit Sharpening, because each time the sword touches each another, sparks of fire came out, sharpening the edge of the blade further until they were completely smooth. The blade begins to shine in luster because of the sharpening process, and as the weapon continues to be sharpened by the Nature Spirits, the ability to house and utilize the spirits will become stronger, where from the rumors, a strong Nature Spirit can form their ethereal body to fight with their master.
”It's done!” as the only person that can see the Natural Spirit, the Department Head informed the two the moment the fight enters their finale. At the end of the fight, only four Nature Spirit remains by the side of each sword. With each of them is sharpened and blessed, the Nature Spirit conducted the ritual to enters the sword, taking the oath of becoming one body with the sword itself.
As a weapon that housed a spirit, they can only be destroyed, and not allowed to move from one Sword Host to another sword host in the future if the owner decided to upgrade a weapon. But from this, the owner of the weapon is enjoying a privilege benefits as his starting point, where the sword is able to grow with the master as their master grows.
”Master Senior, quickly shot a drop of blood to each sword, this is the best moment to bond them with your blood!” the Department Head that was more experienced quickly instructed Zhang Wu Chou to not miss his most auspicious time to bond with this four swords.
He hesitates a little before looking at Zhang Wu Ji. But the latter only gave his second brother a nod, indicating that he should go ahead with the instruction mentioned by the Department head. Without further ado, he slits his wrist to allows four drops of blood gathers at his four fingertips. With a flick, he shot the four drops of blood to the four swords in order to bond them and him together.
Like it was a ceremony held by the heavens, the four drops of blood entered the sword, and become their life vein. As long their master remains alive, the sword is alive, if their master is dead, the weapon will follow. This is why they called it the [Blood Oath]!
With the drop of blood as their coloring, the four swords begin to have a blood red hue covering the ridge of the swords, before the four of them came back to his side. Of course, Zhang Wu Ji came forward to touches the weapon once to make sure he'd read through their status while he could.
