The sword was the Immortal-Slaying Sword, Yuding Zhenren's Spirit Treasure!
Its sharp edge made no attempt to hide its power. Before long, it stirred a response from the Zhu Xian Sword!
Ren, who had merged with the Zhu Xian Sword, felt it begin to hum in instinctive challenge!
"Bzz..."
Though its scabbard restrained it, the Zhu Xian Sword still radiated a murderous Sword Intent!
At once, the two streams of Sword Aura seemed ready to clash!
But in an instant, the Immortal-Slaying Sword was suppressed. After all, it was no match for the Zhu Xian Sword!
Yuding Zhenren chuckled and grasped the Immortal-Slaying Sword. "Old friend... a sword's edge must be kept within. When the time comes to kill, its Sword Aura will surely soar to the heavens! I've held myself back for so long, waiting only to be drawn. You should learn some restraint too, old friend."
With a smile, Yuding Zhenren put away the Immortal-Slaying Sword, then turned and left the hall.
Yang Jian still looked stunned. He muttered, "So that's it, so that's it... Master stays out of conflict only to cultivate the Sword Dao!"
Ren was even more astonished than Yang Jian. "So that's it... Yuding Zhenren cultivates only one Great Dao: the Sword Dao! He practices the Nine-Turn Mysterious Technique and tempers his body solely to contain his Sword Aura. His body is the scabbard, his Primordial Spirit the sword, and the outside world his whetstone. He's cultivating himself as a sword!"
Having merged with the Zhu Xian Sword, Ren had gained a deeper understanding of the Sword Dao. The sword's instincts remained, making it easy for it to sense Yuding Zhenren's condition and pass that knowledge to Ren!
Ren could only marvel. Yuding Zhenren really was cultivating himself as a sword!
Before long,
