"But when I think about it carefully, the Xuan Ji Sword is kind of useless in practice."
Chen Nuoyi thought for a moment before saying:
"You can only use this sword if you have a powerful backer nearby, and that backer must be able to suppress the Xuan Ji Sword at any moment."
"But on a real battlefield, it should be difficult to meet those conditions, right?"
Su Yuan nodded slightly.
"After all, this power is far beyond my control, so naturally there are plenty of limitations."
"But as my strength grows, I'll be able to suppress it and use the Xuan Ji Sword freely, even without borrowing someone else's authority to intimidate it."
Su Yuan's words might have sounded like stating the obvious, but in fact, this was one of the sword-control methods clearly laid out by the "speedrun" effect.
The Xuanji Demonic Sword had been placed under layers of seals by an unknown being. It was currently only a Foundation Establishment Level demonic sword.
No matter how high its ceiling was, at present it could only dance in shackles, unleashing power at the Foundation Establishment limit.
In other words, once Su Yuan's cultivation reached Foundation Establishment Peak, his potential as someone who had established his foundation with a Divine Spiritual Root, combined with his various demonic techniques, would let him forcibly wield the Xuanji Demonic Sword without issue.
The same principle applied after reaching the Golden Core realm.
He only needed to find a way to break one of the Xuanji Demonic Sword's seals and restore her to the level of a Golden Core demonic sword. Then he could use the same method.
Of course, whether he called on a powerful backer or forcibly suppressed her, both were merely stopgap measures.
There was only one truly perfect way
