The Desire to Be Eternal
Chapter 81: The Great Magic of Will-Spirit



Big Zhang Fatty had already started to fidget. However, after hearing Bai Xiaochun's suggestion, he realized that it was reasonable, and nodded in agreement.


Clearing her throat, she tried to pretend not to be nervous at all. "of course. As my Master said, I don't have to be there to see if the upgrade works or not. Ninth Young Brother, quickly enter and try the spirit test. ”


Bai Xiaochun turned around and rushed in. Frowning, he stared at the flying sword. Worried about Big Fatty Zhang being disappointed, he did not try any tests, but instead, did a spell move and showed, causing the turtle to appear.


"Ai. Eldest Brother had been under too much pressure from the start. He finally regained his confidence, so I couldn't let him go disappointed. I wonder if using the tortoises will make this flying sword enhancement a success. ” Mutters to himself, he lights a one-color fire and then throws an untested flying sword into the frying pan.


The silver light shone brightly, after which he put away the turtle. Gritting his teeth, he poured some of his spiritual energy into the sword, where the silver light condensed into a single silver design.


"It worked!" he thought, although he was unsure if it was because of what Big Fatty Zhang had done, or if it was due to his own work. He quickly pushed the door open and rushed out. "First Brother! It's working. It worked! You are amazing, Eldest Brother! "


Big Fatty Zhang stood there nervously in the courtyard, wondering what the outcome would be. As soon as he saw Bai Xiaochun, a tremor engulfed him. Then he looked at the silver design on the flying sword. Slapping his thigh, he threw his head back and laughed loudly.


“Yeah, how did it go? Like I said, I didn't control the power last time. Back at Violet Cauldron Peak, I had already managed to raise three weapons. Even my Master couldn't help but praise my talent. And here I do it again, Ninth Junior Brother! ” Big Zhang Fatty excitedly took the sword from Bai Xiaochun to take a look.


Bai Xiaochun stood to the side, staring in admiration at Big Fatty Zhang. Seeing Big Fatty Zhang look so excited, he sighed in satisfaction.


“Alright, your sister's brother is in a good mood right now.I'll raise it once again. This sword will have a twofold increase in spirit! "


Bai Xiaochun felt that such an effort was not a very good idea. If he remembered it correctly, there were many sect rules and taboos regarding spirit enhancement. "First Brother, why don't we try it next time …."


"No, it's okay!" Big Zhang Fatty said firmly. Holding the sword in his hand, he began to concentrate and build up energy.


This second attempt at spirit enhancement was clearly much more difficult, and he had to use all the ores he had. He began to tremble, and even consumed some medicinal pills before finally managing to utilize enough energy from heaven and earth to begin the process. When he poured energy into the sword, a dazzling silver light shone, after which Fatty Zhang sat heavily on the ground, panting heavily.


However, his eyes shone with excitement as he handed the sword to Bai Xiaochun.


"Please and test it!"


Bai Xiaochun frowned as he picked up the sword. However, before he could test it out, the Great Fatty Zhang reached out and grabbed his hand.


"Don't test it here" he said earnestly. “Remember, Young Ninth Brother, the most important part of the spirit testing process is the feeling you have. When the moment feels right, it's like having the help of the gods. Since you made it in your room last time, that's where you should test it this time! "


Bai Xiaochun flickered a few times on how much the Great Fatty Zhang knew about spirit enhancement. Nodding, he ran back to his room seriously.


“The Eldest Brother may be really good at raising morale. Hard said. Just now, he seems to have succeeded, even without help from my turtle. ” After reaching this point in his thinking, he decided not to put the flying sword into the turtle frying pan. Instead, he simply poured spiritual power directly into the sword.


In the blink of an eye, a silver light flashed. But then, it quickly dimmed. A cracking sound rang out, and the sword became a useless slag.


Even as Bai Xiaochun pouted anxiously, he could hear Big Fatty Zhang talking outside.


“Ninth Young Brother, I just saw a silver light. What the hell is going on. Did it work? "


"Um ... I haven't tested it yet," Bai Xiaochun replied quickly. "Let me do it now …."


The Great Zhang Fatty stood still outside, bitter nervousness written on his face. He was not an idiot, and was quite certain that he saw a silver light shining out from the window of Bai Xiaochun's log cabin a moment before.


Sighing, he assumed that Bai Xiaochun was unwilling to admit that it was a failure. Taking a deep breath, he exclaimed, “I know you did a test, Ninth Junior Brother. It's okay. I'll .. I'll leave right now. "


Upon arriving, Big Fatty Zhang had burst out with excitement, but the punch he had just received left him drowning in grief.


He realized that he had acted rashly. According to his teacher, spirit enhancement was an extremely mysterious magical technique, and to achieve a perfect level of success with it was impossible. Furthermore, in the cultivation world, there was a strange phenomenon. Apparently, people who succeed once will find it easier to succeed in the future, while people who fail will have the opposite experience.


It sounds strange, but the truth is due to the power of will. It was a mysterious thing, and the more confident it was, the more likely it was to succeed.


That way, success or failure will not affect the mental condition of the spirit enhancer. Without being corrupted by the sight of the result, the spirit enhancer would be able to forget about this matter, and maintain a calm heart.


However, there are other more extreme methods developed. It was called the Great Magic of Will-Spirit. It focused on a deep and mysterious will power. In that method, the spirit enhancer would be very careful to watch the results of the spirit enhancement. That way, the more success they experienced, the more surprising their spirit-enhancing abilities became. It was an extreme method, and failure could have a very extreme negative impact on spirit enhancers, even to the point of destroying their talent altogether.


Even so, some people are trying to use that method. Even Fatty Master Zhang Xu Meixiang had to admit that if one were to cultivate such an extreme spirit enhancement method like this, they could achieve a heaven-defying result. The strength of their will, and their confidence, would achieve amazingly spectacular results.


The protective treasure of the Spirit Stream Sect sect, Heavenhorn Sword, which had received a tenfold increase in spirits, had been produced by such an eccentric spirit enhancer, thousands of years in the past.


Big Fatty Zhang smiled bitterly. He perfectly understood that in Violet Cauldron Peak, the orthodox method of planting was preferred. By allowing himself to be overcome by excitement, he had made a huge mistake. The calmness in his heart had been disturbed, and it would take some time to recover.


Bai Xiaochun could see Big Fatty Zhang's dejected posture through the window. Unwilling to let him be so disappointed, he gritted his teeth and produced the same flying sword from within his bag. Then he took out the tortoises and quickly made a twofold increase in spirit.


At that moment, the bitter Big Fatty Zhang had placed his hand against the courtyard gate and was about to leave. Suddenly, Bai Xiaochun's excited voice sounded.


"First Brother, it worked !!" The door of the wooden hut slammed open as Bai Xiaochun rushed out, happily, holding a flying sword with two silver designs visible on its surface.


"Throughout?!" A shock flowed down Big Fatty Zhang as he spun around to look at the flying sword. Then he began to tremble, a look of joy and disbelief growing in his eyes.


"Ha ha ha! I'm really chosen among the spirit enhancers. Double spirit enhancement! I can't believe it! i succeeded!!'


He wrapped Bai Xiaochun into a bear embrace, tears of joy streaming down his face. The truth was that his latent talent was only average; if it wasn't for the deep relationship between his family and his master, he would never have been accepted into the Spirit Stream Sect.


Only because of the precious materials present in the Ovens could he cultivate to the great circle of the third level of Qi Condensation. After joining the Outer Sect, he did not possess such precious materials, and hence finding cultivation became extremely difficult. He could only watch as Fatty Hei Third and Bai Xiaochun both surpassed him, and although he was happy for them, he was extremely disappointed in himself.


Now that he turned out to be talented in spirit enhancement, the excitement he felt was unimaginable. Suddenly he felt useful. Filled with excitement, he threw his head back and laughed loudly, feeling a sense of confidence sweep over him. As it happened, a strange force seemed to build up .. which was nothing but an intangible force of will.


Spirit improvement is an extreme path to follow; the more you succeed, the more confident you become. The stronger your willpower, the more you will succeed!


Perhaps the mere belief that success might help one to climb the ladder of success, and breed that most mysterious force of will.


Big Fatty Zhang left excitedly, holding his head proudly. Bai Xiaochun watched him leave, then stood there in his courtyard wondering if he had done the right thing. In the end, he decided that as long as Big Fatty Zhang was happy, then he couldn't possibly be wrong.


A few days after Big Fatty Zhang left, Bai Xiaochun got some new information from Xu Baocai. Apparently, the reason why fewer people could be seen on Fragrant Cloud Peak was that all disciples of the sixth level of Qi Condensation and higher had gone into secluded meditation, secluded meditation, expect to break through to the eighth level in preparation for the Chosen Battle, which happens only once every thirty years!


The joint battle north and south of the Selected Bank was only about three months away, and would be the focus of attention of the entire Spirit Stream Sect. In the entire Eastwood Continent, cultivator clans and other small sects would also pay attention to the results.


During the battle of the Chosen Ones, the Chosen Outer Sects of both northern and southern banks would fight each other in an attempt to claim the top ten spots. All the top male and female disciples would rise up like dragons and phoenixes, hoping to be promoted to the Inner Sect. Whether in terms of personal fame or approval from the sect, the disciples who ascended to the Inner Sect in this way were viewed as completely different from the other disciples.


Every thirty years, ten Chosen generations would always turn to greater glory. They are outstanding talents, renowned and respected far and near. Even other sects with statuses similar to the Spirit Stream Sect would acknowledge them.


Anyone who could enter the top ten in a Chosen battle would also receive handsome compensation from the sect. It was rumored that the reward in points deserved to reach tens of thousands, not to mention other precious materials that would be given. Moreover, there was also the opportunity to enter the sect's mysterious pocket realm.


Everyone is moved by the possibilities.


Beyond all that, the best of the best would have the chance to pursue a spot in the legendary Legacy Echelon. One of the conditions was to be in the top ten of the Chosen battles, which in turn was another motivating factor for all disciples.


Before the battle of the Chosen, of course, was the qualifying round. Both the northern and southern banks would have their own qualifying rounds, where they would select the ten best disciples to proceed to the final Chosen battle.


The requirements of the cultivation base were set at the eighth level of Qi Condensation. Only students of that level could participate. There were two main requirements to enter the Inner Sect: first, to be at the eighth level of Qi Condensation, and second, to pass the trial by fire. Normally, there were various trials by fire that could be attempted to break into the Inner Sect. However, the Chosen Battle that occurred every thirty years was the most difficult of them all, and also the most watched in all the sects!


Of the many Outer Sect disciples who made the effort, most would not be promoted. Only those who made it into the top 100 list in the qualifying round would enter the Inner Sect. As for the top ten, they were qualified to participate in the Chosen One battle for the entire Spirit Stream Sect.


Shangguan Tianyou, Lu Tianlei, and Zhou Xinqi were all people who wanted to break into the top ten of the southern bank, and then fight with the Chosen of the northern bank. If they could become disciples of the Inner Sect in such a way, then they would have a chance to reach the Echelon Legacy.
