The room is very large.

It was even larger than the entire outer perimeter of the Battle Tower, and looked like a separate space.

Jiang Wuyuan had speculated about many things that the Heavenly Dao might have placed here.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be another fragment of the Blade Spirit's memory.

“Teacher.” Jiang Wuyuan looked at the golden rune sword floating in the pure white space, his heart filled with indescribable complex emotions.

I am happy for the sword spirit, but saddened by its past experience of being broken into such a state.

What kind of brutal battle could cause a peerless powerhouse like a sword spirit to split itself apart and suffer the torment of losing its memory and power for millions of years?

Jiang Wuyuan still remembers when he first encountered the sword spirit in his first year of high school, it was very weak and took almost a month to regain consciousness.

"...It'll be soon." The sword spirit appeared beside Jiang Wuyuan, murmuring softly, its expression as it stared at the fragment equally unreadable.

"Teacher, besides this one, are there any other fragments of memory you haven't found?"

“One piece,” the sword spirit’s voice echoed, “but that’s definitely the hardest piece to get.”

The Blade Spirit stopped there and didn't say anything more.

His memories have been largely restored, and with his current power, he can even vaguely perceive the location of his memory fragments on Earth.

But now is not the time. The sword spirit thought to himself.

"Teacher, why don't you absorb it first?"

"Yes, that's how it should be."

...

If the fragment in the special secret realm of the Frozen Land last time contained 30% of the sword spirit's power, then this fragment stored in the Battle Tower also contains 30%.

Having recovered most of its strength, the sword spirit slowly opened its eyes, breaking free from its state of deep concentration.

His body became more solid, with white hair and golden eyes, dazzlingly bright.

During this time, Jiang Wuyuan stayed by the sword spirit's side, protecting it.

"You're awake."

The moment the sword spirit regained consciousness, Jiang Wuyuan, who was also cultivating with his eyes closed nearby, sensed it.

He quickly got up and went to the sword spirit's side.

Putting everything else aside, the way the sword spirit was weak back then left too many psychological shadows on the young boy, so much so that even though the sword spirit's strength has recovered considerably now, he still subconsciously feels that the sword spirit is someone who needs a lot of care.

"This feels really good." The sword spirit felt completely refreshed as his memories returned.

Jiang Wuyuan curled his lips into a smile: "Does Teacher still need to rest in the spatial ring?"

The sword spirit pondered for a moment.

"No need. It's time for your master and the others to know some things. Besides, aren't you going to attack Night Owl? If that Palace Master really breaks through to the Half-Emperor level, I can also help you restrain him."

Jiang Wuyuan hadn't expected that the sword spirit could sense what was happening outside while absorbing fragmented energy in the spatial ring.

Jiang Wuyuan naturally remembered the care and protection shown by the sword spirit.

"Then let's go out."

——

After bidding farewell to Zhan Wuji, Jiang Wuyuan rushed to the Abyss Battlefield without stopping.

Three days passed, and the alien race remained holed up in the abyss without reacting. However, Jiang Wuyuan's purpose this time was not to fight, but to introduce the sword spirit to his master.

When Zhan Wuji saw Jiang Wuyuan bring out a 'person' who had appeared out of nowhere from the room, the shock on Zhan Wuji's face made Jiang Wuyuan want to laugh.

I wonder what kind of expression Nian Qingfeng will have when he finds out the sword spirit's identity.

...

"...What did you say??"

Nian Qingfeng, who thought his disciple's savior buff was fully stacked, was once again shocked by the hidden big shot beside him.

The sword spirit born from the only sword in the world that surpasses even divine weapons.

Its full-form strength is even greater than Nian Qingfeng's.

"So all those skills you had before were actually taught to you by Senior Void God Sword?" This was something Nian Qingfeng never dreamed of.

But upon closer reflection, it is indeed true.

After all, who else in the world possesses such powerful swordsmanship? Even surpassing the Heavenly Rank?

Even if he did exist, it's impossible for the Dragon Kingdom's intelligence network to completely miss any trace of him.

I hadn't noticed this before simply because I hadn't considered it from that perspective.

Just kidding, who would have thought that creatures from millions of years ago... or even longer ago, could survive to this day?

—Of course, this excludes alien races, those trashy species that are not governed by rules and do not suffer from the 'five signs of decay'.

Nian Qingfeng's thoughts wandered left and right, and she finally came back to her senses after cursing the alien race in her mind.

He looked intently at the sword spirit and bowed to it, saying, "Senior, thank you."

This simple "thank you" contains so much.

The sword spirit saw the thoughts in Nian Qingfeng's eyes and knew that he had probably discovered something in the forbidden abyss.

However, Jian Ling was quite satisfied with Nian Qingfeng's silence.

Then, the sword spirit threw a scroll into Nian Qingfeng's arms.

“Millions of years have passed, and the path of cultivation on Blue Star has changed somewhat. It is indeed difficult to cross the threshold of becoming a half-emperor,” the sword spirit said slowly. “If you continue to study the ancient books, it will probably take you decades to discover their mysteries.”

But now, I can give you this opportunity directly.

Upon hearing this, Nian Qingfeng's expression instantly became excited: "This, this is?"

"It's exactly what you're thinking about, the key to breaking through to the Half-Emperor or even the Emperor realm." The sword spirit nodded, confirming Nian Qingfeng's guess. "With your talent and current foundation, breaking through to the Half-Emperor realm within ten years... is difficult, but not impossible."

If possible, the time could be compressed even further.

Nian Qingfeng's excited expression gradually subsided.

Yes, having the right method is indeed very helpful, but time is a big problem.

Do you think the alien races of the abyss will allow humanity to develop peacefully for another decade or so? That's simply impossible.

War is imminent.

Nian Qingfeng knew very well that what happened last time was just a simple test by the alien race.

"Does the senior have any ideas?"

"Yes." The sword spirit didn't immediately give Nian Qingfeng the answer, but instead asked him a question: "Do you know why breaking through to the Half-Emperor realm is so exceptionally difficult in this era?"

After a moment of thought, Nian Qingfeng suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Because of the seal?"

The sword spirit smiled and nodded: "That's right. The seal of the Abyss Forbidden Land is both a protection for Blue Star and a confinement for it."

The rules are balanced. When the world faces a powerful enemy, the natural order will trigger an 'immune response,' which is the so-called self-preservation.

The way Heaven protects itself is by giving its enemy another enemy of equal strength.

Therefore, if a demigod from the abyssal race were to emerge, it would certainly accelerate your breakthrough to demigod status.

pity............

If a demigod were to emerge, no one in the human race would be able to stop him for a short period of time.

This is an even bigger problem.
