The Peak Saint Rank Void-Soaring Sword! The High Saint Rank Sword Slashes the Eight Desolations!

Once she learned the Saint Rank movement technique and sword art divine ability, her combat ability would surely grow much stronger!

She would no longer be like she was now, with no means of attack and able only to overpower others with spiritual power.

Divine abilities used the same realm classifications as cultivation techniques, so it was not hard to understand how powerful a Saint Rank divine ability was.

Ji Zining hurriedly cupped her hands at Li Changsheng.

"Thank you, Ancestor!"

With that, she went over to the stone table, her face full of delight.

Ji Zining picked up the longsword first and examined it for a while before drawing it from its sheath.

"Clang!"

A crisp sword hum rang out, and an expression of enjoyment appeared on Ji Zining's face.

She had never imagined that a sword's hum could sound so pleasant.

Wisps of restrained, terrifying sharpness flickered constantly along the blade, making Ji Zining grow cautious.

What grade is this? What terrifying sharpness!

As Li Changsheng looked at the longsword in Ji Zining's hand, a reminiscing look appeared on his face.

"This is the peak Saint Rank longsword I used until I reached the Quasi-Emperor realm. Its name is Void-Soaring."

"After I reached the Quasi-Emperor realm, it was no longer as much help to me, so I gradually stopped using it."

"In the end, I even undid its ownership bond and put it away in my storage ring as a treasured keepsake."

"Now that I'm giving it to you, I suppose it can continue fighting."

The peak Saint Rank Void-Soaring Sword!

Ji Zining examined the three-foot-long sword in her hand and, sure enough, saw two tiny characters beneath the hilt: Void-Soaring.

"Ding!"

Ji Zining returned the sword to its sheath and smiled at Li Changsheng.

"Ancestor, I'm afraid I've made you part with something you treasure."

Li Changsheng shook his head slightly.

"For it, following you is an honor. Go ahead and claim it as your own."

"Once you do, its intelligence will awaken, and you can also take it into your dantian to nurture it."

Ji Zining nodded, stirred the Qi and blood within her body, and squeezed a drop of blood from her finger onto the Void-Soaring Sword.

The moment the blood touched the sheath, it vanished into it.

As the blood disappeared, Ji Zining could faintly sense a tenuous connection forming between her and the Void-Soaring Sword.

She experimentally stirred her thoughts.

"Whoosh!"

The Void-Soaring Sword vanished from her palm into thin air, and within Ji Zining's dantian,

the Void-Soaring Sword appeared beside her Nascent Soul, which was suffused with Immortal Spirit Qi, and began circling it ceaselessly.

As it circled, spiritual power from her dantian constantly fell upon the Void-Soaring Sword, nurturing it.

A look of surprise appeared on Ji Zining's face.

Is this what the novels I read before meant by taking something into the dantian?

It really is a wondrous feeling.

Two jade slips of different colors remained on the stone table.

Ji Zining hesitated for a moment, then picked up the pure white jade slip that emitted wisps of sharpness.

Looking at the jade slip in her hand, Ji Zining felt a little uncertain.

If I remember correctly, you put a jade slip against your forehead to read it?

To test her idea, Ji Zining placed the jade slip against her forehead, but nothing happened.

This left Ji Zining somewhat puzzled.

That's not right!

Wasn't this how it worked in all the novels I read in my previous life?

Why has the script gone wrong for me?

Li Changsheng wore a strange expression.

"Zining, what are you doing?"

Ji Zining took the jade slip from her forehead, looking embarrassed.

"Ancestor, how do I read this jade slip?"

The method from her previous life did not work, and the original owner knew nothing about it, so she could only ask for help.

Li Changsheng froze for a moment at her question, then smiled.

"You just need to direct your divine sense into the jade slip, and you'll be able to see the information inside."

"You've already broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm, and your sea of consciousness has opened. You can already use divine sense at a basic level."

Of course!

Divine sense!

Realization dawned on Ji Zining's face.

When she broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm, she had indeed opened her sea of consciousness, but she had been receiving the blessing of the power of providence at the time,

so she had not had much time to pay attention to it. Later, she had put the matter out of her mind.

Looking at the jade slip in her hand, Ji Zining smiled wickedly.

Putting you against my forehead didn't work, but surely divine sense can handle you?

With a thought, the newly born divine sense poured out of the sea of consciousness in her forehead and entered the jade slip.

In the Nascent Soul Realm, a Nascent Soul was condensed, containing one's entire cultivation.

Once the sea of consciousness opened, one could begin using divine sense. Upon reaching the Spirit Transformation Realm, one could give the soul physical form and condense a divine soul.

At that point, the divine soul could leave the body and roam beyond the heavens.

As her divine sense poured into the jade slip, Ji Zining's vision changed.

Densely packed characters surged into Ji Zining's divine sense like seawater.

Her divine sense then passed those characters into her mind, where she received and memorized them.

Feeling the torrent of information in her mind, Ji Zining had no time to think. She hurriedly sat down cross-legged where she stood.

High Saint Rank divine ability, Sword Slashes the Eight Desolations!

With one stroke of the sword, the eight desolations would be no more!

Sword Slashes the Eight Desolations had eight forms in total, each stronger than the last, with immense might and unparalleled sharpness!

Everything about Sword Slashes the Eight Desolations flooded into Ji Zining's mind, and she digested and absorbed it.

A look of understanding gradually appeared on Ji Zining's face.

Not only that, but a profoundly mysterious presence suddenly emerged from Ji Zining's body, accompanied by wisps of sharpness.

At the sight, Li Changsheng's smile froze, and his pupils contracted slightly.

"An epiphany? And... the embryonic form of sword intent?!"

She had achieved an epiphany merely by receiving a sword art divine ability, and had even formed the embryonic form of sword intent in just a few moments?

This talent! Unheard of!

This time, our Ziwei Holy Land has truly taken in a heaven-defying monstrous genius!

No, a monstrous genius whom heaven favors!

The Heavenly Dao itself gave her half the power of providence. If even heaven isn't favoring her, what else could it be?

A moment later, Ji Zining opened her eyes, and a sharp gleam flashed through them before vanishing.

"Sword Slashes the Eight Desolations, a high Saint Rank divine ability. It truly is extraordinary!"

"And the sword artistic conception..."

She held two fingers together like a sword and slashed forward.

"Clang!"

Amid the sword hum, a ray of sword light bearing extreme sharpness flew from her fingers.

The sword light fell into the peach grove, stirring up wave after wave of sharp Sword Qi.

Yet no matter how the Sword Qi cut, it could not damage the peach grove in the slightest.

Ji Zining's expression shifted.

Is there a formation here too?

If there had been no formation, that sword strike of hers would have been enough to obliterate a small mountain peak!

Ji Zining was utterly confident of that!

Because what she had just used was the first form of Sword Slashes the Eight Desolations, empowered by one-tenth of the power of the sword artistic conception!
