Yun Lintian's Spiritual Sense extended outward, he could hear a joyful sword's hum as if it was greeting him. This made him feel weird in his heart.
Technically, he wasn't the owner of the sword yet. Moreover, this was the first time he had met it. Why did it greet him like it was seeing its old friend?
Yun Lintian didn't think about it further. He walked up to the sword and looked at it carefully.
The sword hilt was carved with a twin dragon coiling pattern toward the blade. Yun Lintian didn't know what kind of materials were used to forge this sword, but he was certain they were several grades higher than all the materials he had in his hand currently.
Yun Lintian took a deep breath and reached his right hand out to grab the hilt.
The moment he touched it, the clouds in the sky swiftly spread out, and a golden light abruptly cascaded downward, painting everything in the surroundings golden.
He slowly pulled the sword out and discovered no resistance. It was as though the sword was simply placed there.
As the sword's blade was exposed, a bright golden radiance instantly burst out from the gap in the ground. Combined with the golden light from the sky, the entire Heavenly Sword summit immediately transformed into a sea of golden brilliance.
When the outsiders looked toward the mountain, all they could see was a dazzling golden radiance that almost blinded them.
Clang!
The sword's hum grew louder as Yun Lintian pulled the sword out entirely. Immediately, a 1.2 meters sword was wholly revealed in front of him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIts sharp blade reflected the golden brilliance, making it appear as a godly weapon from the gods' land. The words "Heaven" and "Piercing" could be seen on both sides, releasing an imposing aura.
A twin dragon pattern was engraved on the rain-guard, making the sword as a whole look incredibly majestic.
As he held the Heavenly Piercing Sword, Yun Lintian could feel the excitement from it. The sword's hum grew louder, resonating with his blood and soul, stirring everything inside his body.
With this sword in his hand, Yun Lintian felt like the world was within his palm.
"What a powerful sword." He couldn't help but exclaim. Compared to the White Dragon Spear, it was like a world apart.
"Unfortunately, its spirit is severely damaged." Hongyue's voice resounded. "With this world's environment, it's very difficult to recover it, even with the help of the Land of Beyond Heaven."
"Its spirit is damaged?" Yun Lintian was surprised and checked the sword attentively.
Soon, he discovered a trace of spirit within the sword. It was in a dormant state, trying to recover. He couldn't imagine what kind of power to severely damage such a mighty sword's spirit to this extent.
Yun Lintian tried to communicate with the spirit, but there was no response. On the contrary, the previous sword hum gradually subsided, along with the surrounding golden brilliance.
"Really, there's no way to recover it, Hongyue?" He asked.
"Not for this lower world," Hongyue replied. "However, even if you go to the Divine Realm right now, the materials you need are extremely scarce, and most of them are within those top factions' hands. With your pitiful strength, it's simple courting death."
Hearing this, Yun Lintian sighed and could only give up. He traced along the cold blade with his finger and said. "Don't worry. I will definitely repair your spirit one day."
The sword hummed faintly as if it was understanding his words.
Yun Lintian took a deep breath and became focused. He wanted to test the might of the sword right away.
As he swung the sword forward gently, a powerful sword intent shot out. It cleaved on the ground, creating a deep, long fissure toward the distant forest. With a loud bang, all the ancient trees in the path instantly broke into pieces.
Yun Lintian was shocked by the scene. He only used five percent of his strength, yet it could generate such a scary power. Wouldn't he be able to cut a mountain in half with his full force?
"Amazing." He exclaimed. "With this sword, I don't think any defensive artifact in this world could withstand it."
He looked around briefly and said. "No scabbard?"
"You can wrap it with the Snow Wind Silkworm's silk first and find someone to make a temporary scabbard later." Hongyue gave a suggestion.
"Alright." Yun Lintian nodded and took the silk out, wrapping the sword carefully before putting it away.
However, he suddenly discovered that he couldn't store the sword in his interspatial ring.
"You don't want to stay in the ring?" Yun Lintian asked.
The sword hummed gently in response.
Yun Lintian was speechless. He couldn't possibly carry the sword around, right? Wouldn't he become a target of everyone in the world by then?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs if it understood Yun Lintian's thought, the sword suddenly shrank into a finger-sized pendant and landed in his palm.
Yun Lintian was taken aback for a moment and said. "You can do this too?"
Without thinking further, he found a delicate silver necklace and tied the sword pendant with it before putting it on his neck.
He raised his head to look at the restriction around the mountain and found it was still existing, which meant he could remove it at will.
Without waiting further, Yun Lintian descended from the peak and arrived at the forest in the first stage.
"Kun." His voice reverberated throughout the forest, and soon, Kun and more than two hundred profound beasts rushed over.
"Brother Lin." Kun and Tong'er respectfully greeted him.
Yun Lintian nodded gently and glanced at the profound beasts behind them. "Are these your friends?"
Kun nodded. "There are only us left."
"Have you taught them?" Yun Lintian asked further.
"Don't worry, Brother Lin. Everyone has mastered the technique now." Tong'er answered.
"Very good." Yun Lintian nodded in satisfaction. "Let's go to the back of the mountain."
"Brother Lin…?" Tong'er asked in confusion.
"I can remove the restriction. Come." Yun Lintian didn't waste time further and rushed out.
Kun and the others became excited and hurriedly followed him.
