Spirit Treasures almost never chose their own masters. It was incredibly rare!
Of course, a few Spirit Treasures in the Primordial World had chosen masters on their own. But most were minor treasures. Not a single Supreme-Grade Spirit Treasure had ever done so, especially not a killing treasure like one of the Four Zhu Xian Swords!
Countless onlookers were stunned. Ren gripped the Immortal-Exterminating Sword and the Slaying Immortal Sword, felt the joy ringing through their blades, and chuckled. "Cihang Daoren... using the Four Zhu Xian Swords against me was your biggest mistake!"
Ren's Primordial Spirit was the Artifact Spirit of the Four Zhu Xian Swords. Though he still had no idea why, one thing was clear: the swords saw him as family. He could control them with ease!
From the moment Cihang Daoren had brought out the Immortal-Exterminating Sword and the Slaying Immortal Sword, Ren had felt the delight surging within them, as if they were eager to return to his side!
But Ren had imposed his will on the two swords and made them play along with Cihang!
That was right. It had all been an act!
Cihang's murderous assault just now had been part of Ren's plan. If he wanted Cihang to fall, he first had to let him grow reckless!
Cihang Daoren truly was powerful. He had been among the best of the Twelve Golden Immortals. After betraying the Expounding Sect, founding the Expounding Gate, and gaining both the teachings and Destiny of Buddhism, his strength had grown rapidly. Given enough time, he might well have become a Quasi-Saint!
Even with his secret technique active, Ren could only hold his own against Cihang, perhaps even suppress him. But Ren knew the technique would not last. Once it wore off, he would be no match for Cihang!
