The complexity means it's not so easy to find the array's core. Chen Zhou can only roughly make out that it's a confinement array; he hasn't found the core yet.

"I didn't expect the binding array to also have the function of isolation," Chen Zhou murmured. He only knew that the binding array could bind something, but he didn't expect it could also isolate aura.

This was something Chen Zhou hadn't expected.

Chen Zhou understood the current situation; he had to break through the current confinement array to find out if the "Heavy Edge Sword" inside was real.

To break the imprisonment formation, one must first find the formation's core.

However, Chen Zhou had been watching for a while and still couldn't figure out where the key point of the formation was.

So Chen Zhou inscribed a small confinement array in front of him, then expanded it to the same size as the array under the "Heavy Edge Sword". In this way, Chen Zhou could use the array's core to deduce the core of the main confinement array.

Although he didn't know if it would work, Chen Zhou still felt he should give it a try.

Following the eye of the small imprisonment array, Chen Zhou saw that the imprisonment array was also emitting the same light. Without hesitation, he unleashed a burst of true energy to strike the eye of the imprisonment array.

"Clatter, clatter..."

The formation beneath the "Heavy Edge Sword" collapsed, and the faint light emanating from the formation disappeared, allowing Chen Zhou's true energy to easily come into contact with the "Heavy Edge Sword".

Just then, an ancient voice echoed from the magma world.

"Congratulations, young man, you have passed the test of being recognized as a master. This binding array was originally intended to block your connection with the Heavy Edge Sword, hoping that you would establish a stronger connection. I didn't expect you to destroy the binding array directly. These days, there aren't many array masters left. I hope you will live up to the recognition of the Six Ren Extreme Blade."

Liu Ren Ji Ren?

Chen Zhou had never heard of this name before, and a question immediately arose in his mind.

"This is the original name of the Heavy Edge Sword. However, it is no longer the complete Six Ren Extreme Blade, so it can no longer be called the Six Ren Extreme Blade. But you have gained the recognition of the Six Ren Extreme Blade. Even if you are holding the incomplete version of the Six Ren Extreme Blade Heavy Edge Sword, you must strive towards the goal of restoring the Six Ren Extreme Blade."

Chen Zhou nodded and was about to answer when the magma world around him shifted again, and Chen Zhou returned to his azure spiritual world.

Upon his return, Chen Zhou immediately produced the Heavy Sword, which had established a connection with him.

"I am the sword spirit. You can ask me anything you don't understand. I am in your spiritual world." A figure slowly walked out from the azure world.

This was an elderly man of short stature, with a pale beard that hung down to the ground, and his hair and eyebrows were all white.

This shows how old he is.

"Okay, how should I address you?" Chen Zhou asked. He had been here for so long and of course knew you were a sword spirit, but he hadn't told you how to address me yet.

We can't just keep talking about Blade & Soul all the time, can we?

"I no longer have a name, so just call me Ren Lao."

After saying that, Elder Ren continued, "Go back, your master and the others must be worried."

Before Chen Zhou could continue speaking, he left this azure world and returned to reality.

Chen Zhou was still in the same spot, only now he was lying down. All seven elders were guarding him, with the third elder looking anxious.

He knew that recognizing a soul artifact as its master was an extremely difficult thing, so he was naturally very worried about Chen Zhou.

"Chen Zhou, you're awake?" The Third Elder had been staring at Chen Zhou. As soon as Chen Zhou opened his eyes, he heard the Third Elder's words.

"You've recognized a master through the Soul Weapon?!" The Third Elder watched as the Heavy Sword in Chen Zhou's hand emitted a dazzling blue light as Chen Zhou woke up, a portion of Chen Zhou's soul already infused into it.

Chen Zhou can now control the Heavy Edge Sword at will.

"This disciple has indeed recognized the soul weapon as its master," Chen Zhou said slowly, looking at the heavy-edged sword in his hand.

"Hahahaha, after so many years, our Sword Cloud Sect has actually produced another Soul Weapon that recognizes its master!"

The First Elder's gloomy expression immediately brightened; indeed, the Sword Cloud Sect hadn't seen anyone capable of recognizing a soul weapon as their master for a very long time.

Chen Zhou ignited the hopes of the elders.

"Now that I've woken up, passed the Soul Weapon's approval, and completed the Sword Cloud Body Refinement, it's time to start fulfilling my responsibilities as an outer sect elder."

The sect leader's words clearly entered everyone's minds, meaning that Chen Zhou was to go out and carry out the mission assigned by the sect.
