Be the Hardest Working Demon Cultivator!

Her energy instantly became incredibly concentrated, as if surrounded by thousands of Sword Qi!

Her mind, following suit, began to ascend limitlessly, originally intending to reach the clouds to commune with heaven and earth, thereby cultivating the ability to disturb reality with her thoughts and consciousness.

However, just as she reached the clouds, Hong Yan's spirit and consciousness were abruptly pulled into that purple long sword.

The figure of the Purple-Gold Immortal appeared once again before this girl in red.

But unlike the last time, this apparition of the Purple-Gold Immortal was not only incredibly vague but also silent. As soon as it appeared, this Purple-Gold Immortal directly began demonstrating Divine Skills of the Sword Dao to Hong Yan.

The figure of the Purple-Gold Immortal formed fingers into a sword and then stepped through the air seven times, each step linking up with a star, and suddenly, the illusion of stars appeared.

In that instant, a profoundly chilling power of the Sword Dao made itself known.

Winds shifted and storm clouds gathered.

However, as quickly as this power of the Sword Dao appeared, it disappeared just as fast.

Afterward, a voice like that of a child appeared, saying, "This is the 'Seven Stars Fate Lightning Sword technique,' conceived by the Purple-Gold Immortal after listening to the Ancestor of the Dao and undergoing a millennium of refinement, borrowing aspects of the legendary 'Star Fate.' Even if your current realm in the Sword Dao is still low, merely the Sword Master of Heaven and Earth, mastering it can make you unbeatable among your peers."

"This makes one invincible in the realm of True Cultivation?" Hong Yan couldn't hide her excitement. Although this was her first encounter with the child-like voice, it was not unfamiliar to her.

After all, the Jiawu Realm's Sword Cultivator sacred land had ample records about the existence of Sword Spirits.

"What True Cultivation realm?" Upon hearing this, the Sword Spirit of the Purple-Gold Celestial Sword, though newly manifested, was also taken aback.

As a Sword Spirit of the Immortal Sword, it naturally understood the term.

But, the scope encompassed by the realm was somewhat vast.

"It's the realm of cultivation, right? Where are you? Can you send me back now?" Hong Yan looked around but couldn't see the Sword Spirit.

"I am the Sword Spirit of the Immortal Sword, and moreover an impeccable one. Thus, you cannot see me before your Sword Heart Universe has been reached. Otherwise, your realm in Sword Dao might be influenced by me. The best scenario would be homogenization; the worst would be you becoming my nourishment," explained the child-like voice.

Then, the child-like voice continued, "As for sending you back, you can return anytime on your own. I am only responsible for guiding you here. The reason you can't go back now is your realm as the Sword Master of Heaven and Earth hasn't reciprocally nourished your spirit."

"However, if you aren't in any rush, I suggest you stay and comprehend the Divine Skills of the Sword Dao before you return. The forces left by the Purple-Gold Immortal will be of great help to your current level of cultivation and can save you at least ten years of hard cultivation. As for the safety of your physical body during this time, you need not worry.

As the Sword Spirit of the Immortal Sword, I have already left a Sword Qi to protect you."

Hong Yan, hearing that it could enhance her cultivation, immediately continued her comprehension. She had been doing so already, but the difficulty of this Divine Skill of the Sword Dao was beyond her imagination, which was why she thought to return and comprehend it slowly afterward.

Ultimately, Hong Yan wasn't able to master the "Seven Stars Fate Lightning Sword technique," but her cultivation had greatly improved.

"Fifty years of cultivation effort!" Hong Yan was overwhelmed with joy. She initially thought it was only ten years' worth of effort but hadn't expected such a substantial increase.

"You do have decent aptitude, but how exactly should one describe this cultivation effort?" asked the child-like voice, curious, being only a thousand years old itself.

The previous Sword Spirit of the Purple-Gold Immortal Sword had been obliterated by the Ghost Spring Demon Sword of the Secluded Spring Blood Demon.

A thousand years might seem extensive to a human, but for a Sword Spirit, it's roughly equivalent only to a human's early childhood—the stage at which children just learn to walk.

"Cultivation effort, well, it is..." Hong Yan simply described the practice methods of the Jiawu Realm to the Sword Spirit.

"This environment, was it created by the Ancestor of the Dao?" Upon hearing this, the Sword Spirit immediately asked.

"Yes! Have you ever seen the Ancestor of the Dao?" Hong Yan got excited as soon as she heard this. After all, the Ancestor of the Dao is the origin of cultivation in the entire realm of immortals.

Although the ancient records of the Sword Mountain indicated that cultivation tendencies existed in the Jiawu Realm even before the Ancestor of the Dao preached, they were quite disorganized. His preaching not only clarified the laws of cultivation for all beings but also made Sword Cultivators the foremost combatants among cultivators!

"The former me probably saw him, but the current me hasn't. I say this because apart from the realm of Sword Dao which the Ancestor of the Dao didn't casually fix, he was quite lax about everything else," said the Sword Spirit.

Hong Yan hadn't expected such habits from such a figure. Although she didn't fully grasp what the Sword Spirit meant by "the former me, the current me," she had seen explanations of such matters in the ancient records at Sword Mountain.

It was nothing more than the Immortal Sword undergoing some ordeal, necessitating the self-destruction of its Sword Spirit for repairs, and after recovery, a new Sword Spirit was born.

Just like the broken Immortal Sword in the Sword Tower, the one owned by Long Zhangyuan, which the Sword Spirit could repair anytime it wished.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
