Shadow Ghost, what did that fellow see? And how did he figure it out?

Yu Ci reckoned his sharp eyesight could not compare to Shadow Ghost's. A Creation Sword Immortal valued structure and rules, yet mastery over sword intent was equally indispensable. The two influenced and intersected with each other, which to anyone else created a severe interference.

Unable to dissect the sword intent, Yu Ci would find only illusions even if he looked until his eyes went blind.

On this front, he indeed lacked Shadow Ghost's seasoned insight.

At times like this, Shadow Ghost did not put on airs either. With another cold sneer, he instructed Yu Ci, pointing out several critical locations:

"With this kind of deduction, you don't need to look at the process; just look at the result. Of course, you also need to know Creation's scheming."

"What scheming?"

"Back then, his rhetoric was petty to the extreme. He said he wouldn't allow any established systems, or at the very least, any system had to leave a position for sword cultivators."

"That doesn't sound like much..."

"You stand from the Xuanmen's standpoint, seeking a compromise, so naturally you think it's fine. Yet what sword cultivators rely on—if it truly binds them, they just slash it open with a sword. When all is said and done, he simply lacked that sharpness himself."

Yu Ci offered no comment on Shadow Ghost's persistence.

Yet he inevitably thought of the sword cultivators' expedition to the West.

Up to now, there was almost nothing a sword cultivator could not slash through, and the Buddhist kingdom was no exception—even if the ultimate outcome proved extremely tragic, the Western Buddhist Kingdom's concept of the Ten Dharma Worlds must have had its progression delayed by untold years because of it.
