Not long after I convinced the fat man, dinner was sent over.
The fat man didn't feel sleepy after dinner. He said that the Yellow River Formation had used up too much energy and needed to rest. He hurried to the lakeside outside the palace and sat cross-legged to recover his Dao Qi.
I had used up a lot of energy fighting Zhao Hao in the arena. If it wasn't for the support of the True Dragon Vein in the jade bracelet, I would have used up all my energy.
Looking at the fat man's anxious look, I planned to go and meditate with him. Although the True Dragon Qi in Wangwu Grotto was thick, I couldn't feel it in the palace. I didn't know what method they used to convert the True Dragon Qi into witchcraft energy. So, if I wanted to absorb the True Dragon Qi to recover my Dao Qi, I had to go to the lakeside like the fat man did.
However, just as I reached the door, I recalled the strange voice from the Armor Stripping Sword that day. Then, I suppressed the thought and returned to the Taoist Palace.
The reason I was able to obtain victory so quickly today was because of the Armor Stripping Sword or the voice in the Armor Stripping Sword.
Ever since I got the sword, I did a lot of research on it, but I never heard the voice. Why did it change in the arena today?
I took out the Armor Removing Sword from the Xiang Liu and looked at it for a long time. I didn't find anything strange about the sword. I even injected some of the Dao Qi that I had just recovered into the sword. However, the entire palace was still extremely quiet. Other than the sound of my breathing, there was no other sound.
I stopped the transfer of my Dao Qi and True Essence, and held it in my hand again. The broken Armor Stripping Sword did not change at all.
The Disarming Armor Sword was still the same Disarming Armor Sword. The blade was rusted, and the body of the sword was almost completely rotten. It looked like it could break in half with a little force. It was exactly the same as when I had first seen it.
But after so much time, the sword not only changed my view of the old monster Cang Feng, but also of him.
Just like what Cang Feng had told me before, this sword could indeed multiply my power and allow me to defeat Zhao Hao.
I recalled the scene in the arena. At that time, Zhao Han's Petrifying Dragon Spell was very aggressive and threatened me. As I recovered my True Yuan, I channeled my True Yuan into the Armor Removing Sword. However, this still couldn't solve the problem. I had no choice but to take out the Xuan-Yuan Sword …
Thinking about this, I couldn't help but feel excited. Was that voice awakened by the Xuanyuan Sword?
I thought about it carefully and didn't rule out the possibility.
Although I have already mastered the Armor Stripping Sword for a long time, if one were to look deeper into it, today's battle in the arena was the first time the two of them have met.
Although the Armor Remover Sword was blessed by the heavens and was extraordinary, the Xuan-Yuan Sword was the King's Sword. Whether it was fame or power, it was above the Armor Remover Sword.
Moreover, the King's Sword had some mysterious influence on other swords, which was very likely to happen.
I opened my mouth and spat out the Xuan-Yuan Sword. I carefully observed the changes between them.
The Xuanyuan Sword was the magic weapon that the Yellow Emperor, Xuanyuan, used to conquer the world. It was one of the ten great divine weapons, and it was incomparably magnificent.
The body of the sword was snow-white, as though it carried traces of cold air. Following its appearance, the temperature of the entire Daoist Palace seemed to drop.
The stem of the sword was a golden cylinder. The cylinder was covered with densely packed protrusions, as though someone had carved inscriptions on it. Even though I had a deep understanding of ancient characters, I still couldn't recognize them.
Outside of the inscriptions, there was a divine dragon with five claws. On the dragon's body, there were three ancient characters, 'Xuan-Yuan Sword'. It gave off an austere aura.
When I put it next to the broken Armor Stripping Sword, regardless of quality, the difference in appearance was like the difference between heaven and earth.
Following the appearance of the Xuan-Yuan Sword, the Armor Stripping Sword started to tremble. I seemed to hear a sword hum. It was that sword hum that made me nervous.
This sword was obtained from Cang Feng, and the voice in the sword was so similar to Cang Feng's. Naturally, the identity of this person was self-evident.
He was definitely Cang Feng's brother, who had helped Cang Feng obtain the Sword Cang Feng and was known as the Sword Dao's Gemini. However, he had suddenly disappeared.
However, this wasn't the reason why I was nervous. No matter how powerful the background of the voice was, it was still just a voice. After so many years, even Cang Feng had become an old man without any cultivation. He had borrowed the power of the Sword Cang Feng to barely retain a physical body. Moreover, he didn't have a physical body. He had attached himself to the Armor Stripping Sword and was only able to speak after being stimulated by the Xuan-Yuan Sword.
What made me nervous was the mighty sword strike that he had used to block the Petrifying Dragon Spell.
Thanks to the ancient book that Ah Mo's teacher had left behind, I had also stepped into the doorstep of a sword cultivator. I had also successfully devoured the Xuan-Yuan Sword and refined it into my Daoist sword. As long as I patiently nurtured it, I would be able to control the Xuan-Yuan Sword like a true sword cultivator in less than a month.
Logically speaking, this was a good thing, but it wasn't entirely so. Although the ancient book had made me a sword cultivator, it didn't record the sword technique. The sword technique was the foundation of a sword cultivator's outstanding combat power.
In other words, a sword cultivator who only knew how to nurture and use a sword could not be considered a true sword cultivator. Only a sword cultivator who had mastered the sword technique could live up to the name of a sword cultivator and display the true power of a sword cultivator.
There was only one way to obtain the sword technique, and that was to obtain it from the Zhao family of the Xuande Grotto-heaven.
However, Ah Mo's teacher had been in the Xuande Grotto-heaven for a long time and still hadn't obtained it. How could Zhao Hao just give the sword technique away?
Therefore, I wanted to try and see if I could obtain the cultivation technique of the Heaven Shocking Sword from the hands of that voice.
This wasn't just for my sake, but also for Ah Mo's sake. He had the Innate Sword Embryo, and his cultivation talent in the way of the sword was much stronger than Zhao Hao's. In the future, he would definitely be a cultivator who would condense the Yang Spirit. If he didn't have the sword technique, then what difference would there be between a Yang Spirit Celestial Master who had cultivated the Innate Sword Embryo and a normal sword cultivator?
However, it didn't matter if I couldn't obtain it.
The Armor Remodeling Sword was still in my hands. From the behavior of that voice, he shouldn't have any ill intentions towards me. If I were to encounter any danger in the future, he would definitely lend a helping hand. As for Ah Mo, there was still a long time before he could mature. This period of time was enough for me to find a suitable sword technique for him to cultivate.
As time passed, the sound of the Armor Remodeling Sword became clearer and clearer, and the body of the sword suddenly emitted a green light.
The green light became brighter and brighter, and I became nervous. Whether or not I could hear that voice again and obtain the cultivation technique of the sword from him depended on this step.
Just as I was thinking, that strange yet familiar voice finally appeared again. However, this time, it didn't appear in my heart, but through my ears.
The voice was very anxious, and seemed to be a little angry. I only saw the body of the sword shake, and the voice was heard. "Evildoer, you still dare to show yourself!"
Just as the voice finished speaking, a sword aura pierced through the air.
Evildoer?
Who's the evildoer?
I was shocked when I heard that. I was the only one in the hall. Could he be referring to me by calling me evildoer?
Just as I was guessing, the sword aura shot towards me.
As the sword aura got closer and closer to me, I could almost feel the domineering aura from the sword aura. It was different from the sword aura that I would usually use when I used the Armor Remodeling Sword. This sword aura was much more powerful, but it was far from the shocking sword in the arena.
Even so, I knew that this sword aura wasn't something that I could withstand with just my physical body.
I furrowed my eyebrows and frantically circulated the Shaman Qi in my body. I used the Heavenly Spirit Nine Steps to form a barrier in front of me.
Just as the barrier was formed, the sword aura landed on it and pierced through it. It didn't even cause a ripple.
It wasn't that the sword aura's power had completely surpassed my cultivation, but that I had used up a lot of my Primordial Qi after today's battle.
The sword aura came too suddenly, and I could only barely gather enough Primordial Qi to form the barrier.
After passing through the barrier, the sword aura landed on the tip of my nose. The sword aura carried a cold air that was like an ice blade. It wreaked havoc in my respiratory tract, as though it was carrying a snowstorm from the extreme north.
I instinctively wanted to use the Xuan Yuan Sword, but because the sword aura suddenly stopped, I sensed that it didn't have much hostility, so I stopped.
If the evildoer that he was talking about was really me, and he wanted to kill me now, then why did he help me in the arena?
Just as I thought, the sword aura stopped at the tip of my nose and flew past my ear. It didn't land on my body, but shot towards somewhere behind me.
I opened my eyes and heard the sound of something heavy landing behind me.
I turned around, wanting to see what the evildoer that wanted to kill with the sword aura was, to make Cang Feng's brother so angry.
But just as I turned around, I was shocked by the pitch-black thing.
Qilin!
When did that fellow come in? Was it the evildoer that the Armor Remodeling Sword was talking about?
Noticing that I was looking at it, the Qilin sat up and glanced at me. It revealed the sword aura in its mouth. It moved its mouth and swallowed the sword aura.
Sword aura … could be eaten?
It was obvious that the Armor Remodeling Sword had also noticed the Qilin. It turned into a ray of light and circled around the Qilin. It exclaimed in surprise, "Qilin!
Is this the holy beast Qilin?
There are holy beasts in this world?
The Xuan Yuan Divine Sword, the Qilin Divine Beast … Brat, what is your identity? Why do you have these things? "
I didn't know what the Armor Remodeling Sword's sword aura meant, but it was obvious that the appearance of the Qilin had disrupted its train of thought. In its shock, its attention was completely attracted by the Qilin.
I lightly coughed and bowed towards the Armor Remodeling Sword. "Senior is overpraising me. I'm just an ordinary person. I still have to thank senior for your help today.
As for the Xuan Yuan Sword and the Qilin, it was just a coincidence that someone else gave them to me. "
What I said wasn't wrong. The Xuan Yuan Sword was given to me by Nan Gong. Even though I didn't know what his motive was, it shouldn't be to harm me.
As for the Qilin, the old Gu woman from Miao Jiang planted it in my body. Even though her motive was to kill me, it was resolved by the puppet from Chi You's tomb. It became my pet. Even though it didn't listen to me, it was no different from giving it to me.
The Armor Remodeling Sword obviously didn't believe my words, but it didn't care about me. It swayed and floated behind the Qilin. After looking around, it asked in surprise, "Where's the evildoer?
Why did he disappear? "
Evildoer?
Hearing that word again, I was puzzled.
I originally thought that it was referring to me. However, I had been standing there without moving, yet it had gone around me. It was obvious that it wasn't referring to me. However, I was the only one in the room. If it wasn't referring to me, then who was it referring to?
