Dao Sword Acknowledges Master

Lin Chao stood still, sensing his innate Sword Soul activating.

This talent could bestow a sword with a soul.

At this moment, he was imbuing the Dao Sword with a Sword Soul.

He felt a torrent of information flooding into his mind.

This information was chaotic, disordered, utterly without pattern.

The sensation was deeply unpleasant.

Lin Chao furrowed his brow.

Nearby, Lin Leng, who had been watching in delight, now wore a look of concern.

In Great Cang, an extraordinary treasure acknowledging a master had occurred four times.

Yet of those four, three had died, and only one survived.

When a treasure acknowledged its master, if the master's willpower was insufficient, they would lose themselves and perish.

Among them, the Azure Lord was the only one who had successfully made the Azure Dragon Stone acknowledge him.

He was also the strongest person in this world.

"Sect Master, no need to worry.

The Young Sect Master has been clever since childhood; a good man has heaven's favor!" a Martial Man beside him spoke.

The Dao Sword acknowledging a master was unprecedented.

The danger was unknown, but it was surely terrifying.

Lin Leng stood by, anxious as an ant on a hot pan, yet utterly helpless.

Just then, Lin Chao, who had kept his eyes closed, suddenly opened them.

The Dao Sword's acknowledgment was perilous.

It tested not only willpower but also the Dao Heart.

However, Lin Chao possessed the Unwavering Dao Heart.

This was a purple talent, extremely powerful.

Dealing with the Dao Sword's flood of information was naturally no challenge.

The eight-year-old Lin Chao's eyes gleamed with brilliance.

At this moment, the Dao Sword acknowledged him as its master.

He also felt his body had become somehow different.

Lin Leng breathed a sigh of relief, his body trembling with excitement. Even now, he found it hard to believe: "The Dao Sword acknowledged you as its master?"

Lin Chao nodded. "Yes."

Lin Leng took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his joy, though his body still quivered.

His gaze swept over those present, and a powerful aura erupted from him.

"Today's matter must never be spoken of outside!" Lin Leng declared.

The others all nodded solemnly. "Understood."

They naturally knew how serious this was.

The Azure Lord was already deeply wary of the other eleven forces that possessed extraordinary treasures.

He wished nothing more than to eliminate them all.

If the Azure Lord learned that the Dao Sword had acknowledged Lin Ping as its master, Lin Leng believed it wouldn't be long before Extraordinary from Tai Qing Palace arrived at the Dan Jian Sect in Beiling.

As it stood, the Dan Jian Sect had no ability to resist Tai Qing Palace.

Lin Leng looked at Lin Ping, his eyes full of joy. "Ping'er, your father will keep the Dao Sword safe for you. When you turn fourteen, I will give you a brand-new Dao Sword!"

Lin Leng had made a major decision.

He would modify the Dao Sword.

Or rather, add a blade edge around it.

This would conceal the Dao Sword's true appearance.

"Alright." Lin Chao naturally did not refuse.

To him, none of this mattered.

What he was considering now was how to improve his strength.

He realized that Extraordinary were indeed special.

Even now, having just awakened, he felt his strength was comparable to Heize, who had no simulation talents.

And remember, he was an eight-year-old boy, not one of those forty-something boys.

Back in his room, Lin Chao closed his eyes and rested.

He was sensing the power within his body.

He realized this power was very strange.

Somewhat similar to... a genetic mutation? Or a variation?

He felt himself growing stronger every moment, without needing to cultivate.

"I've been here for eight years. Time to go back."

Lin Chao had already understood that when he simulated reincarnation, time in his original main world stood still.

When he returned to the main world, this world would also freeze in that instant.

Of course, Lin Chao could choose to keep going, but during that time, his body would be in a state of automatic, instinct-driven control.

Lin Chao naturally wouldn't choose that.

"Return to the main world."

Lin Chao said to the Reincarnation Simulator.

Instantly, he appeared back in reality.

The time was exactly the same as when he had entered the simulated reincarnation—not a single moment had passed.

There must be some unfathomable factor at play here.

"These eight years of memories feel like a recollection."

Lin Chao stretched.

Eight years had passed, but it had no effect on Lin Chao himself.

He still remembered what he ate today, and all the details.

Even what color stockings his distant cousin was wearing.

He didn't feel any sense of temporal disorientation.

Lin Chao checked the time. It was already late.

He made three dishes and a soup, and ate with relish.

No matter what, the quality of life couldn't drop.

Besides, he still had a bit of savings, right?

As he ate, he used his phone to search for history related to Great Cang.

But online, there wasn't much proper history about Great Cang.

One thing, however, caught Lin Chao's attention.

There were quite a few myths and legends from the Great Cang period.

This made him think of the Extraordinary.

Was there a connection between the two?

Lin Chao sank into thought.

Just then, a call came in. Lin Chao answered.

Zhao Xiaoyi's urgent voice immediately came through.

"Brother Lin Chao, quick, watch the livestream! There's new progress on Heize in the Great Wilderness Mountain Range!"
