Hou Du had wanted to enter the Sword Tomb Small World on the advice of his senior sister Yueduo.
This was the systemic advantage of a Ten-Thousand-Year Sword Lineage. They did not make new disciples spend too much time grinding swords to awaken spirits, but instead obtained sword pellets directly from the Jian Family Small World. If anything went wrong during cultivation, the sword pellets would automatically fly back to the Jian Family Small World, forming a closed cycle. With sword weapons introduced into the Small World through other means as well, this ensured that its sword pellets continued to regenerate, inexhaustible and unending, forming a virtuous cycle.
Yueduo believed that the Jian Family Small World the Jishan Sword Lineage had placed in Jinxiu should be something of this sort too. The two Small Worlds were fundamentally connected; perhaps Jinxiu's Jian Family Small World was even an offshoot avatar of the one in Xiaoshan?
But an offshoot like this could not automatically develop the self-sustaining cycle of the IY Mountain Jian Family Small World. It needed nurturing, and the Quanzhen Sect clearly had not done nearly enough?
Yueduo's deductions made sense, but Hou Du did not entirely agree in private. He still believed that the way people in Jinxiu cultivated their Purple Mansions might have affected the Jian Family Small World, making it difficult to produce sword pellets like those of the Xiaoshan Sword Lineage.
Oranges grown south of the Huai River remained sweet oranges; grown north of it, they became bitter trifoliate oranges. Flying swords were no different. Across the vast reaches of the Universe, different environments producing different forms of flying swords was what accorded with the objective laws of cultivation.
He hoped this exploration would uncover some unknown key factors. The Quanzhen Sword Lineage's constraints regarding flying
