[Ding! The system has completed drawing all the random prizes for this session!]
[The carapace of a ten-year-old pangolin. Note: It's really hard; it might make a decent shield, or... a pot lid.]
[Calming Incense. Description: Made from a mixture of various common herbs and woods, it has a calming and soothing effect when burned. It is highly effective for ordinary people, but for Soul Masters… it's better than nothing.]
[An ordinary iron sword. Description: It once served a Soul Master, slaying Soul Beasts for ten years. Later, the Soul Master acquired a better weapon and sold it.]
Ning Liu's lips twitched.
The system is really getting less and less interesting with these three things.
[Selecting items for mandatory auction...]
[Auction Item Name: True Understanding of Swordsmanship - Solitary Pursuit of a Heart in the Dust]
[Item Description: This is a unique handwritten copy of Sword Douluo Chen Xin's lifelong insights into swordsmanship, containing his entire journey and the essence of swordsmanship from his initial learning of swordsmanship to achieving oneness with the sword.]
[Mandatory Auction Requirement: This item must be auctioned as the tenth item in this auction, i.e., the final item.]
Starting bid: Gold Soul Coins.
Upon seeing this, Ning Liu's eyes lit up instantly.
A rare handwritten copy by Grandpa Jian?
With a thought, an ancient manual appeared in his hand. The cover had no name, only a sharp, piercing sword intent emanating from it.
Ning Liu turned to the first page.
There are no fancy words, no profound theories, only a line of simple yet sharp handwriting.
"I started learning swordsmanship at the age of six, and for ninety years now, I have only this one thought, only this one sword."
boom!
In an instant, Ning Liu seemed to see a figure.
From an innocent child, toddling in the courtyard with a wooden sword in hand, to a spirited young man, wielding his sword across the land, and finally to a towering titled Douluo.
Those are not just words, but a microcosm of Sword Douluo Chenxin's life.
Each word is like a small sword, containing Chen Xin's different understanding of the way of the sword.
There is his joy when he first glimpsed the door, his confusion when he encountered a bottleneck, his frenzy when he broke through and established himself again, and even more so, his regret and unwillingness when he finally touched the threshold.
Ning Liu's breathing gradually became long and deep. The sword intent of the Empty Dream Sword flowed quietly within his body, echoing and resonating with the sword intent in the scroll.
He saw it as if he had found a path of swordsmanship.
His own Void Dream Sword, based on space, is ethereal and agile, leaving no trace. Sword Douluo's Seven Kill Sword, on the other hand, takes the concept of "attack" to its extreme, embodying sharpness and dominance.
Although their paths differ, their dedication to the sword and their pursuit of perfection are the same.
"nice one……"
Ning Liu closed the manual and exhaled a long breath.
Just a cursory glance deepened his understanding of swordsmanship.
He even had some anticipation about what kind of amazing treasure this sword manual would become after being returned by the system.
"However, if Sword Douluo knew that I had taken out his most treasured possession to sell, I wonder if he would chase me for eight blocks with the Seven Kill Sword?"
Ning Liu shook his head with a smile, in a great mood.
Afterwards, he put these things away, and a thought struck him.
An altar appeared before him.
Altar of faith.
God...
Ning Liu's eyes became intense.
"I wonder if any god would even notice someone like me?"
With that thought in mind, he stood up directly, his mind calm, and his soul power flowed slowly.
First, there is the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul.
A dazzling nine-colored light rose from his body, enveloping his entire being, while his eight soul rings pulsed up and down, radiating powerful soul energy fluctuations.
However, the altar of faith beneath their feet remained completely still.
There was no light, no sound, not even the slightest fluctuation of energy.
Ning Liu raised an eyebrow, not surprised.
The most suitable deity for the Nine-Treasured Glazed Pagoda is undoubtedly the Nine-Colored Goddess. But that deity has already chosen Ning Rongrong.
So……
With a thought, the light of the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda receded, replaced by an ethereal yet sharp sword intent that soared into the sky.
Buzz—!
The Empty Dream Sword appeared in his hand.
Ning Liu pushed the sword intent of the Empty Dream Sword to its limit, even drawing upon the power of the Dragon Wings, the Eye of Spiritual Enlightenment, and the Skull of the Illusionary Heart Fox, in an attempt to establish a connection with an unseen being.
One second.
Two seconds.
Ten seconds passed.
The altar of faith remains unresponsive.
"..."
Ning Liu sheathed the Empty Dream Sword and stood on the stone platform with a sense of helplessness.
It would be a lie to say I wasn't disappointed.
According to the interpretation of the altar of faith, this means that there is no suitable divine position for oneself!
However, this disappointment only lasted for a moment.
"That's true. Kongmeng Sword hasn't even collected all its soul rings yet, and its foundation isn't stable."
It seems that becoming a god is something that can't be rushed.
He was just about to put the altar away when there was a knock at the door.
"Come in!"
Ning Liu spoke up.
Subsequently, Ning Fengzhi, Tang Xiao, and Bibi Dong entered together.
Bibi Dong's gaze was immediately drawn to the ancient stone platform that had not yet been put away the moment she entered the room.
She paused slightly, a look of surprise and uncertainty flashing across her face.
As the successor of the Rakshasa God, she is far more sensitive to divine auras than ordinary people.
She could clearly sense that there was an aura on the stone platform that she couldn't understand.
"Sect Leader Ning, what is that?"
Bibi Dong asked.
Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi and Tang Xiao noticed the peculiar stone platform, and both of them showed curiosity in their eyes.
