Seeing that I had still shaped it into a sword, Lord Taihua slightly furrowed his brow, seemingly feeling there was no need to be so particular. Of course, he was also rather interested in seeing what I planned to do.
After I had formed the sword, the thing was as thick as a thigh. Naturally, once the necessary work was done, it would not change shape for the time being. After all, without external force acting on it, it would remain as it was.
After making it float in midair, I took out something sharp and, as though I were drawing, carved rune patterns into it like those on the Tear of Creation from back then. The difference was that there were now a full eighteen densely packed lines. The reason there were so many runes was partly because I was conducting an experiment, and partly because this sword was simply too large. Once the surface area increased, the carved lines, though thicker than those normally engraved on swords, still had no trouble fitting.
Even so, the dense mass of them startled Lord Taihua.
"If these runes were truly carved into the sword, that would be impossible to accomplish. Especially with sturdier materials—the stronger the material, the less possible it would be. You should know that, right?" Lord Taihua asked.
I nodded with a smile. "This is merely my ideal version. It would of course be impossible to create such terrifying runes on a sword. Carving into a Creation material is especially difficult, so normally one would use simple and effective rune patterns instead. Take that Creation Fossil Sword, for example. Didn't Lord Tasting Sword or the Fangcun Sword Dao also use an attached method to inscribe its patterns? The effect is better than carving them directly, but it doesn't
