Chapter 826 - 824: The Taixu Sword Spirit

At the moment when the statue exploded, a burst of rainbow light suddenly shot out from the statue’s body, quickly converging around Wang Zhan.

The divine sword Taixu trembled even more violently in Wang Zhan’s hand, and within a few minutes, the sword soared directly into the sky.

Even Wang Zhan was unable to hold onto it.

"What’s going on?"

Wang Zhan frowned slightly, clenching his fist as he spoke word by word: "Damn, did you find your home?"

"Back then, I worked so hard to obtain you, and if you suddenly leave me now, don’t blame me for being rude. I’d rather destroy you than let you go easily!"

Suddenly, there was another loud bang beside his ear.

Immediately following, a miraculous scene unfolded.

Surrounded by the rainbow lights, the broken divine sword Taixu underwent a transformation.

In no time at all, it had gathered into a complete sword!

But it was astonishingly large.

Wang Zhan’s eyes widened in disbelief.

Just at that moment, the Deep Fire Blade on his body shot out quickly, even causing waves of fire light to ripple in mid-air!

The next second, the Deep Fire Blade began to vibrate, and with a loud bang, it exploded!

The fiery red fragments fell rapidly around the divine sword Taixu!

Accompanied by the sound of metal clashing, the rust on the divine sword Taixu began to recede, covered in fiery red. Upon closer inspection, the sword’s body revealed some patterns, but from a distance, Wang Zhan couldn’t clearly see what they were.

"Damn it!"

Wang Zhan snapped back to reality, remembering the Deep Fire Blade had shattered. He then clenched his fist and shouted into the air, "You’ve destroyed my most handy weapon. If you aren’t useful to me, I’ll surely destroy you!"

Just after his words fell, the divine sword Taixu dropped in front of Wang Zhan.

As it plunged into the ground, spider-like patterns spread out.

Wang Zhan touched it, feeling immense power merging into his body, widening his eyes in surprise, muttering to himself, "This feeling is..."

Completely integrated with the blade?

Immersed in excitement, Wang Zhan then saw a girl floating nearby the divine sword Taixu.

Her hair was white, her complexion pale, always with an indifferent expression. She wore a simple long robe, but what left the deepest impression on Wang Zhan were her jade-green eyes, extremely beautiful.

"Sword spirit?"

Wang Zhan muttered to himself.

He had seen in ancient tomes that all weapons undergo a spiritual transformation to possess their own sword spirit, but despite this knowledge, Wang Zhan had never before encountered a sword spirit.

The girl bowed to Wang Zhan before speaking calmly, "Master."

Wang Zhan waved his hand with a smile, "With this, it seems I haven’t completely lost out."

Though a Deep Fire Blade was destroyed, the divine sword Taixu was restored to its peak state and even revealed a sword spirit, truly shocking.

Yet, I wonder if the Fatal One Slash will be impacted in any way?

The sword spirit, connected with Wang Zhan in thought, spoke softly, "Master, rest assured. The current divine sword Taixu has been restored to peak condition, far stronger than your previous weapon. It required considerable energy to create me, hence the need to destroy your previous weapon. Please don’t take offense."

"Additionally, your previous techniques won’t be impacted in any way."

Wang Zhan nodded, smiling contentedly.

He glanced at the ragged Great Hall and the exploded statues, finally asking, "By the way, what was all that light just now?"

"And why were you born here?"

The sword spirit calmly explained, "Those statues are actually individuals who had arrived in this celestial realm. Some of them were once powerful figures, but unfortunately, they were still sealed here. Therefore, the statues contain immensely pure power, which was why I was awakened."

"So, the lights I saw were the essence of those who once arrived here?"

Wang Zhan asked in confusion.

"Right."

The Sword Spirit nodded heavily, "That’s indeed the case, and I can further improve myself. I can feel that in this Star Domain there are countless statues, even too many to count. Although most of their power is extremely weakened, they still benefit me to some extent."

Wang Zhan immediately understood her intentions. He casually picked up the Great Void Divine Sword, and saw the Sword Spirit transform into a ray of light, directly surging into the sword.

Wang Zhan then attached the Great Void Divine Sword to his back. He turned to look at the Sword Spirit behind him and then asked, "By the way, why are there so many statues outside?"

"To my knowledge, isn’t this Star Domain just opened?"

The Sword Spirit explained, "That’s indeed the case, but most of the statues don’t come from now but from thousands of years ago or even earlier. That is to say, the Star Domain has existed tens of thousands of years ago and is considered a peculiar space. The person who originally opened this space was once known as the Star Lord, with incredibly terrifying power."

"Rumor has it that after the Star Lord encountered his lifelong enemy, he fell a thousand years ago, but the Star Domain still exists. Over the years, it has been highly esteemed. The people on the Star War Battlefield have never given up on pursuing it. Moreover, some claim that the Star Domain contains treasures left by the Star Lord. Once such treasures are found, one could become the overlord of the stars and inherit all of the Star Lord’s powers."

Only now did Wang Zhan understand.

He glanced around at the surroundings and then said with a smile, "No wonder many are willing to risk their lives and even wish to enter this Star Domain. Turns out, it’s all to enhance their strength and satisfy their ambitions."

"Unfortunately, things from thousands of years ago, who knows what it is like here now?"

The Sword Spirit did not speak.

It seems, in the eyes of the Sword Spirit, she only responds to important matters, and lazily ignores trivial ones.

Admittedly, such a temperament is indeed quite proud.

Wang Zhan shook his head and said nothing. As he was about to walk out of the Great Hall, he suddenly slapped his forehead, then widened his eyes and said, "If there’s something odd in the Star Domain, could my two friends also turn into statues?"

The Sword Spirit said, "If their strength doesn’t reach the realm of the Tribal Patriarch, they will naturally be turned into statues."

"Tribal Patriarch?"

"Doesn’t that mean I’ve just reached the passing mark?"

Wang Zhan dared not hesitate; he quickly darted out towards the hall.

Due to the surrounding whiteness, he couldn’t see far, making his face appear much more grim.

In his ear, the Sword Spirit’s voice came again, "To the right."

Wang Zhan nodded and went to the right.

Following the Sword Spirit’s guidance, he soon heard a series of faint footsteps.

But just as he neared, he saw someone suddenly strike at him, with extremely fierce means!

Wang Zhan’s expression changed as he subconsciously grabbed the person’s wrist while striking his chest fiercely, "Who?"

Upon hearing this voice, the person ran up to Wang Zhan, exhaled a relieved sigh, "Brother Wang, why is it you?"

Wang Zhan helplessly shook his head, "I also didn’t expect you to be here and suddenly engage me in a fight?"

"It’s a long story."

Xiang Tian sighed helplessly, then lowered his head and said, "Just arriving here, I found something strange, so to quickly investigate what’s truly strange here, I split up with Luo Xue. But after a few steps, I found myself trapped in a Maze, my voice couldn’t be heard, and the surroundings felt like a dead loop. No matter where I went, it all looked the same, unable to distinguish between directions and the way back."

Wang Zhan also frowned slightly; he was not very familiar with the circumstances within the Star Domain.

Suddenly, the Sword Spirit’s voice came, "Actually, this is normal; these white mists before you are all caused by the numerous experts who fell here, leaving behind energy clouds that settled here."

"In fact, what they don’t know is the greatest treasure here is the aura itself. Sitting here and practicing will accelerate the cultivation speed by ten times outside, but it comes with certain drawbacks..."

Halfway through saying this, the Sword Spirit intentionally stretched out her tone and continued, "The Star Domain does not appear all the time; it appears on a cycle of about three hundred years. That means if you cannot leave here within the specified time, you will spend three hundred years here."

Wang Zhan then chuckled awkwardly, "Even for myself, I guess I wouldn’t spend that long here?"

"And three hundred years, wouldn’t all the energy here be absorbed completely?"

The Sword Spirit shook her head and said, "No."

"The energy contained here far exceeds your imagination. Even if you stay here for thousands or tens of thousands of years, you couldn’t possibly deplete all the energy."

But despite saying this, Wang Zhan remained utterly uninterested in staying here.

With the System’s support, he just needs infinite battles to increase his strength; why waste time here?

Next to him, Xiang Tian widened his eyes looking at the light and shadow behind Wang Zhan, and asked curiously, "Brother Wang? Is this?"
