A sword is not just for show.
It's not placed there for people to admire.
Their destiny is the battlefield! It is to fight against others. If they are not completely shattered, they cannot simply fall into silence.
All the broken swords in the Sword Tomb are because the person who used them perished and could no longer kill enemies and drink blood. That's why they have such a mournful cry of resentment!
Ye Qiubai's words.
Everything in the Sword Tomb, except for the sword at the summit, began to tremble!
It seems poised to burst forth from this soil.
Streams of Sword Intent shot straight into the sky, enveloping the entire Sword Tomb.
Everyone looked over in surprise.
What did Ye Qiubai do? He just said one sentence.
However, this is just the opinion of ordinary people.
Those present were no ordinary people; they were all prodigies from various powerful forces.
They could naturally see that Ye Qiubai resonated with these broken swords!
When Du Yun looked down, his expression was slightly surprised.
Resonating with the sword—if it's the sword they've always used, then resonance isn't difficult for sword cultivators with their talent.
However, they had never touched these broken swords.
Moreover, the previous owner's strength and realm were far superior to theirs.
On top of these two points, to also resonate with these broken swords is an impossible task.
But... what's the point of gaining the approval of these broken swords?
Du Yun frowned slightly and turned his gaze back to the broken sword at the summit.
People vary, and so do swords.
He only wanted the strongest sword, so even if Ye Qiubai resonated with the broken swords below, it was none of his business.
However, although the broken sword was trembling, it did not spring out of the ground.
However, after resonating with these broken swords, Ye Qiubai was also able to sense some of their thoughts.
If they cannot gain the approval of the broken sword at the summit, they will be unable to leave the Sword Tomb.
They may not appear to be swords, but they are actually all evolved from broken swords from the mountaintop.
With this in mind, Ye Qiubai also began to walk step by step towards the summit.
Every time a few broken swords passed by, the broken swords would begin to tremble wildly, as if they were welcoming their king!
Upon reaching the summit, Du Yun glanced at Ye Qiubai and said, "This sword is difficult to tame."
Ye Qiubai didn't even glance at Du Yun, but instead gripped the golden hilt of the sword directly. He let the Sword Qi pierce his palm through the golden patterns, yet he still held on tightly!
"A sword is not meant to be tamed. Only when it accepts you can you take it away." Seemingly oblivious to the pain in his hand, Ye Qiubai said calmly.
As soon as he finished speaking...
Sword Domain Unfolds!
Under the shroud of the Sword Domain, the Intent of the Sword God poured into the golden broken sword!
Du Yun wanted to say something, but when he was under the Sword Domain, his expression changed drastically!
The Sword Dao and Sword Intent within him seemed to be suppressed at this moment!
It was as if Ye Qiubai was the absolute king in this Sword Domain, and no matter how much higher his realm was, he could only obediently submit.
Ye Qiubai's gaze was fixed on the broken golden sword, and he said calmly, "You should already know my thoughts."
"If you think I'm qualified, then come with me."
"If you think I'm not qualified... of course, I don't think I'm not qualified."
When he said the last sentence, Ye Qiubai's expression was exceptionally firm!
This is unwavering commitment to one's Sword Dao!
boom...
At that moment, the broken golden sword seemed to tremble slightly.
Du Yun's eyes widened as well.
Could it be?
Once you've done it the first time, you'll do it again.
The broken golden sword began to tremble again!
Each shake will be more frequent and have a greater amplitude than the last one!
As the golden-threaded broken sword trembled, all the broken swords in the entire Sword Tomb also began to tremble simultaneously. A series of chilling Sword Qi energies soared into the sky!
Seeing this, Ye Qiubai smiled slightly. With a slight lift of his arm, the Golden Silk Broken Sword burst forth from the ground!
As the golden-threaded broken sword was pulled out.
The entire Sword Tomb trembled violently, and broken swords flew out simultaneously at that moment.
All that could be seen were broken swords, spinning continuously around Ye Qiubai.
Although the sword was broken, its cry still echoed across this Ancient Battlefield!
Du Yun frowned slightly as he watched this scene, then shrugged and walked away.
Before leaving the Sword Tomb, Du Yun turned back to look at Ye Qiubai and murmured, "I always treated swords as tools before, but you've taught me a lesson."
"In that case, consider it a favor I owe you."
After speaking, Du Yun left without looking back.
now.
Ye Qiubai looked at the Golden Silk Broken Sword, and the thousands of broken swords around it transformed into Power of Rules of Sword Dao, beginning to mend the broken parts of the Golden Silk Broken Sword!
After the broken section is repaired.
Ye Qiubai's consciousness was suddenly pulled into a blank world by a wisp of energy from the golden silk sword.
There was no aura, nor any Power of Rules.
It was as if everything was an illusion.
Only before him stood a man in white, smiling at him.
Ye Qiubai recognized the man in white.
He was the one who, within the memories of the Broken Sword, exhausted his life force and consumed ten thousand swords to fight the sinister man.
"So you already know about the Evil Devil Domain?" The man in white smiled at Ye Qiubai and said, "In that case, I won't go into further details."
"I'll only tell you one thing." The white-robed man's expression turned extremely solemn as he said this, "The people of the Evil Devil Domain are incredibly powerful, not only in terms of raw strength, but also in their terrifying psychological warfare tactics."
"The main reason for the Mortal Realm's defeat was that the Evil Devil Domain's psychological warfare led to its gradual collapse. This was a major reason for the Mortal Realm's downfall."
Ye Qiubai nodded.
"If that's the case, then there might still be pawns left behind by the Evil Devil Domain in the Mortal Realm."
"That's possible," the man in white nodded. "However, I need to ascertain: when the Evil Devil Domain descends, can you guarantee your will will remain steadfast and you won't flee out of fear? Will you be turned by the Evil Devil Domain? Will you sacrifice the greater good of the Mortal Realm for your own selfish desires?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Qiubai said solemnly, "I am a sword cultivator, so naturally I will not be afraid of battle, nor will I betray you for the benefits offered by the Evil Devil Domain."
"Of course, if my personal desires include family and sect, then I will prioritize family and sect."
The man in white smiled upon hearing this answer.
"Very well, there are no saints in this world. No one can stand by and watch their family and loved ones die without feeling anything. If someone could truly do that, they wouldn't be a human being, but a machine."
"In that case." The man in white stretched out his hands, and a sword box appeared in them. He said, "This is the Geng Metal Sword Case. As you can see, your sword can be stored in the box and used together in a critical moment."
"Now, it's yours."
At this point, the man in white handed over the Geng Metal Sword Case with both hands.
Ye Qiubai, his face grave, accepted the sword with both hands and said, "Rest assured, senior, the Geng Metal Sword Case will not be allowed to gather dust in my hands."
