Clang... Clang... Clang...

The entire Sword Pool filled with the sound of ringing blades. The tens of thousands of treasured swords embedded within it began to tremble as well, as though they would soar into the air the next moment.

Li Chenfeng and the two Sword Slaves both widened their eyes. This was the first time they had ever witnessed such a sight.

When a divine sword was born, ten thousand swords celebrated in unison!

Yet just as the myriad swords were about to leave the Sword Pool and fly into the air, the colossal sword standing at its center suddenly let out a deep hum.

At once, the ringing of swords throughout the Sword Pool became even more violent, as though two armies were locked in a fierce battle on the battlefield.

"Young Master, quickly control the divine sword and rein in its sharpness!" Zhong Mei roared at Li Chenfeng, his bloodshot eyes bulging.

After the Blood Sacrifice Awakening, Li Chenfeng had formed an inexplicable connection with the divine sword. Upon hearing Zhong Mei's shout, he hastily used that faint connection to soothe the sword spirit with his mind.

A quarter of an hour later, after Li Chenfeng's efforts, the newly forged divine sword finally calmed down, concealing all its sharpness and becoming an ordinary sword blank once more.

"Whew... A clash between divine swords is something one might not see in a hundred years." Zhong Mei let out a long breath as he looked at the Sword Pool, which had finally returned to calm.

If forging another divine sword caused a problem with the sword essence nourishing the Peerless Good Sword, then even dying a hundred times would not be enough to atone for his sin!

Another half day passed before the divine sword blank gradually took complete form in Zhong Mei's hands. He then directly placed the sword into the cold spring water beside him for tempering.

The moment the divine sword entered the water, something happened that none of Li Chenfeng and the other two had expected.

The frigid spring water, which had never frozen despite its extremely low temperature, began to form a thin layer of ice from where it touched the blade. In the end, it even froze the entire cold pool within a radius of ten meters.

"This..."

Li Chenfeng and the two Sword Slaves exchanged glances, each seeing the astonishment in the other's eyes.

After all, this cold pool was the most miraculous place in Sword Worship Villa.

It was said that a spring eye lay at the bottom of the pool, leading deep underground, with the cold spring water flowing up from beneath the earth. Even more remarkable, not far from the cold pool was a lava pool. One cold and one hot, they echoed each other without interfering with one another. It was truly a wonder of heaven and earth. The first master of Sword Worship Villa had discovered the uniqueness of this place and established the villa on this island in the middle of the lake.

While Li Chenfeng and the others were stunned, Zhong Mei merely nodded slightly. This development did not surprise him at all; everything had gone as expected.

"The White Dew Stone truly deserves to be called a strange stone comparable to Black Cold. The icy aura contained within it is simply astonishing!"

After a sigh of admiration, Zhong Mei looked at Li Chenfeng and said, "Young Master, the divine sword has a spirit. Since it has already acknowledged you as its master, others must not touch it carelessly. Otherwise, they may very well be injured by the divine sword. Please retrieve the sword yourself!"

"Alright!" Li Chenfeng nodded directly.

He was also tremendously excited. This could be considered his first true divine weapon. Compared with the uncontrollable Fire Qilin Sword, this divine sword, forged through his own blood sacrifice, would contribute far more to the growth of his strength!

Arriving beside the cold pool, Li Chenfeng communicated with the divine sword through his mind as true qi erupted from his right hand. A sword cry suddenly rang out from within the ice-covered pool, and a streak of blue light flew out, landing in Li Chenfeng's right hand.

"Truly a fine sword!"

Looking at the azure longsword in his hand, Li Chenfeng could not help crying out.

The divine sword in Li Chenfeng's hand seemed to sense his feelings. In response to his voice, it let out a sword cry.

"Hahaha!"

Li Chenfeng was overwhelmed with excitement.

The sword measured four chi and three cun in length, just under one and a half meters. Its hilt was a deep azure, while its color grew lighter toward the tip and blade, eventually becoming transparent.

"Good, good, good!" After saying "good" three times, Li Chenfeng gently stroked the blade and said softly, "Its edge is like ice and snow, its spirit like a refined soul. Why not call you Snow Soul?"

Clang... Clang... Clang...

The moment Li Chenfeng finished speaking, the divine sword in his hand rang out repeatedly, as though it was extremely satisfied with the name he had given it.

"Hehe, congratulations, Young Master. With this Snow Soul Divine Sword, the day you roam the martial world undefeated will not be far off!"

The two Sword Slaves, Wennu and Leng Zhi, looked enviously at the Snow Soul Sword in Li Chenfeng's hand and cupped their fists in congratulations.

"Haha, I have Master Zhong to thank for this. Otherwise, there truly would not be many people in the world capable of forging such a divine weapon!" Li Chenfeng said with a smile.

Although Zhong Mei's strength was only around the Late Xiantian Realm, his sword-forging skill was among the very best in The Storm Riders World.

After exchanging a round of mutual praise, everyone was naturally delighted.

As a swordsmith, nothing pleased Zhong Mei more than seeing another divine weapon emerge from his own hands.

However, Li Chenfeng's ambitions for the Snow Soul Divine Sword did not end there.

He had originally wanted to melt Ice Soul into it as well, but because his strength was insufficient, he could only abandon that idea.

However, with the Myriad Worlds Tower, Li Chenfeng believed that he would certainly find a method of sword forging in the future. By then, not only Ice Soul, but even the Black Cold Stone used to forge the Peerless Good Sword and the Sword of Ruin would be reforged together. At that time, Snow Soul would truly become an unrivaled divine sword!

After the divine sword was forged, Li Chenfeng spent several days familiarizing himself with Snow Soul's power. Combined with the Frost-Lingering Sword Art he had derived from the Six Frosty Techniques, its power increased by more than double.

Even if Li Chenfeng, at the Mid Xiantian Realm, were to challenge someone at the Xiantian Peak Realm, he was fifty percent confident that he could win!

"Looks like it is time!" Li Chenfeng murmured softly as he sheathed his sword and stood in the center of the training ground.

Feng'er and Liu'er, who had quietly watched Li Chenfeng practice his swordsmanship beside the training ground, hurried over with a handkerchief and cool tea. One helped him drink tea to quench his thirst while the other wiped away his sweat, tending to him with the utmost care.

"Liu'er, has the Sword Servant returned?" Li Chenfeng asked blandly as he handed the teacup to Liu'er.

"The Sword Servant has returned. Young Master, would you like Liu'er to call him in?" As Li Chenfeng's servant, the Sword Servant normally lived in the front courtyard of Li Chenfeng's residence, where he was responsible for guarding it. As for the rear courtyard where Li Chenfeng and the Liu Sisters lived, the Sword Servant would not enter without being summoned.

"Mm. Inform the Sword Servant to meet me in the study!"

"Yes!" Liu'er answered, handing the tea in her hand to the silent Liu Qingluan before turning and heading toward the front courtyard.

Li Chenfeng watched Liu'er's departing figure, then turned his attention to the ever-silent Liu Qingluan. Perhaps because of her personality, Liu Qingluan was quieter than her elder sister. Aside from practicing swordsmanship, she usually just followed silently at his side.

"Alright, let us go back as well." Li Chenfeng sighed inwardly and led the Liu Sisters toward the rear courtyard.
