Hum...
The Gourd Space trembled faintly once more.
As though sensing Lin Mo's predicament, the ripples in the air that had vanished earlier actually reappeared, slowly circling him as if asking him something.
Lin Mo froze again.
Was this... the Treasure Gourd realizing I couldn't handle the sword heart, and stepping in again to help me refine it?
The Baleful Black Saber indeed could not carve formation patterns into the sword heart's surface, but these ripples in the air seemed capable of cutting through anything. If he could control them at will, carving formation patterns would surely be effortless!

The two Ancient Swords he had previously subdued both bore star formation diagrams on their surfaces, though neither was complete.
Even so, the power of those diagrams could not be underestimated. A single Ancient Sword could suppress an entire Nine-Nine Soul-Devouring Formation. If he gathered all nine swords, how powerful would they be?
