Struck by the sword intent, the divine sense network calmed down for a moment, and Hai Hong seized the opportunity to add further details.
"This item has no control nexus. It doesn't look like a magic tool, but rather like the masterwork left behind by some high-level sword cultivator out of a surge of inspiration..."
Using such a description could be considered polite praise, but the value of this piece of fabric, which was practically inferior in terms of art, was already glaringly obvious.
Its greatest value lay in the residual sword intent left behind by a sword cultivator expert. Though it looked scattered and unsystematic, if one studied it with undivided attention, it was entirely possible to gain some comprehension.
On the path of sword cultivation, the higher one went, the more indispensable sparring, sharpening, and referencing became. If one cultivated on their own, below the Longevity stage, they could not forge sword heart and sword intent, and naturally could not cut through tribulation barriers. Above the Longevity stage, if they practiced behind closed doors and carelessly chopped away some crucial law, under the backlash, even leaving an intact corpse would be difficult.
In the outer sea of Wu Gou City, near the territory of the Sword Discussion Pavilion and influenced by it, there were naturally quite a few sword cultivators. Those able to attend this gathering naturally knew their stuff, and immediately several strands of divine sense surged forth, sending messages to Hai Hong.
Over on the side of his sword cultivator avatar, he was studying the sword intent and even used it to deduce a flaw in the Netherworld Nine Hidden Secret Art. Ghost Yan, being quite sensitive to begin with, felt a strange sense of familiarity upon seeing that ice-silk fabric unfurling in the wind.
