The woman stood inside the Boundary-Suppressing Tripod, controlling my tripod with astonishing ease. It was downright bizarre. Normally, to control someone else's treasure, one needed to be several times stronger than them, or possess some other treasure. Yet this woman toyed with every treasure as effortlessly as turning her hand. Even the sword sheath was in her hands, and she was currently playing with it behind her back.
When the woman saw me look over, she continued following behind us and said, "I originally thought the people you brought would be mediocre at best, but they seem to be of some use. Still, this is far from enough to release the spirit of the Heavenly Sword. And you are the weakest link among them, so you need to prove your existence. Only then can I properly do what I need to do."
Li Poxiao cast the woman an astonished look. As for his attitude toward her words, it was somewhat ambiguous. Xia Ruize merely smiled and said, "Senior, you can't be joking, can you?"
"There's nothing funny about this. The immortals of your generation are far weaker than they were when his predecessor existed. You're already struggling this much against a weapon spirit clinging to the Heavenly Sword, yet you still want me to release the spirit of the Heavenly Sword? You should know that no matter how inadequate it is, the spirit of the Heavenly Sword was selected from your generation. The twelve volumes of the Heavenly Tome are no fake. Since it collected them all and became a sword spirit, it can possess the strongest power of the Ninth Heaven. You absolutely must not underestimate it, or your morale will probably be utterly destroyed in what follows." The woman spoke blandly, evidently giving us a shot of forewarning.
