clang!

Holding the sword tightly again, Xu Yang no longer felt the rampant malice, but an incomparable and refreshing coolness.

Faintly, Xu Yang's body and mind seemed to merge into the interior of the sword, colliding with the elusive soul in the sword's world.

"After sleeping for hundreds of thousands of years, someone finally came here."

The phantom slowly turned around, revealing a tall red silhouette. Unlike the phantom skeleton just now, this light and shadow did not have any malice towards him at this time. Instead, it showed a feeling of attachment, just like the attachment that the Nine-petaled Facing Sky Plant had towards Bai Lianxue.

"You killed all these bones under me?"

Xu Yang couldn't help but ask.

For him, weapons are like a monk's second life. If they cannot understand and trust each other, the hidden dangers will be fatal when facing strong enemies in the future.

"good.

To be precise, it was the fusion of my previous master's power and mine that killed them.

Including this real dragon that you are stepping on."

“It’s actually a dragon-slaying sword!

No wonder there is such strong hostility. "

"Why, are you scared?

Are you afraid of being attacked by the aura from me?

But I think you performed very well just now, and easily wiped out the desire. "

Xu Yang chuckled: "You should be able to sense that I have a shortcut heart. Falsehood is not difficult for me to deal with. What is really scary is my own heart.

If I wanted to kill all living beings, even without this sword, it would still bring disaster to the world.

The practice itself is the process of cultivating the mind, improving one's own realm, and using a broader vision to repay, irrigate, and protect the world, that's all."

The Sword Spirit smiled and said, "You are too much like my last master. No, I should say that when he was your age, he was only at the Divine Infant Realm. Your future will be much brighter than his.

As long as you can follow the rules of this burial mound and complete the corresponding training tests with the magic weapon of your choice, you can truly own me and leave this place."

Xu Yang nodded gently: "I've already prepared, come on!"

After he finished speaking, everything in front of him gradually disappeared, and Xu Yang regained his vision facing the vast distance.

At some point, this blood-colored ancient sword had fallen into his hands.

"By the way, I didn't have time to ask your name."

"Lin Emperor.

No, it's just the previous name.

You have to give me a new name first."

Xu Yang was speechless: “Well, this is really a difficult thing.

After all, I don't know anything about your power yet. Our relationship is more like a partnership. I haven't even truly conquered you, so I'm not your master."

Sword Soul glared: "You are such a conservative guy. Have you ever thought that after you named me, I will be bound to you in advance?"

Xu Yang chuckled: "The most difficult and most contradictory thing in this world is to force yourself.

I never force anyone to do anything, including myself.

If you and I are really destined to be apart, then leaving each other in peace is also an option..." Soon, the sword spirit released a powerful force to guide it, replacing Xu Yang and becoming the leader at this moment.

When this unnamed sword broke away from the thousand-meter-long Bone Mountain, the entire mountain collapsed and turned into scattered dust, all of which was swallowed up by the ancient sword into the sword body.

Xu Yang watched the whole process and was very surprised.

“You…” Sword Soul smiled calmly: “How else do you think my soul power grew?

Every soul that falls under the sword in your hand will have its shattered soul source devoured by my soul power.

Of course, this will not have any impact on you, but it can improve me as a sword spirit, thereby increasing the power of the weapon itself."

Xu Yang exclaimed: "I didn't expect that there are so many unknown theories in the field of weapons, it's amazing.

If I'm not mistaken, with the protection of your sword, it should be very useful in resisting the mental suppression from the opponent."

"You've seen through all this?"

…

The road ahead gradually became brighter.

Countless huge beasts began to appear in Xu Yang's field of vision. They were all powerful ancient beasts bred in the burial tomb. A considerable number of them were soul beasts that only had spiritual bodies!

“I said, this is the test I have to go through?

Just taking you to kill a few ancient beasts?"

Sword Soul sneered: "Do you think this is easy?

With their strength, they naturally cannot stop you.

Not only do you have a profound foundation of cultivation, you also have a dragon-slaying sword like mine to rely on. They are just illusions waiting to be wiped out.

But the important thing is that there is no powerful enough fatal killing move in your martial arts.

The Dao evolved from the Yin-Yang diagram is indeed powerful, but that is the Dao that evolves the laws of change of the spiritual power of heaven and earth. It can only provide you with a constant supply of spiritual power support, and cannot be used as a Dao force suitable for combat to wipe out your opponents.

If my guess is correct, the opponents you met before were almost none who could surpass you in strength. Even if there were, the gap between you was very small.

But as your strength grows, you will face more and more masters in the future, not to mention that once the veil of the divine realm like Qilin Mountain is unveiled, many powers will be unimaginable.

By that time, your opponents will be much more formidable than they are now, and without a strong enough offensive and killing power, it will be difficult for you to gain an advantage."

Xu Yang agreed with Jian Hun's words, and it reminded him of the advice given by the mysterious old man on the road.

There are more than tens of millions of ways of the heavens. Only by learning to perceive and comprehend more and deeper Taoist power between heaven and earth can one's own strength be improved by leaps and bounds.

"So, the test you provided me is to open up a new and more powerful way of attack and killing for myself?"

“Yes, this is the only test that Zang Xiu Tomb has left for you.

Of course, the price to pay is eternity.

If you can’t come up with something new and creative in this area, you’re going to be stuck here forever.”

Xu Yang: “…” Roar!

Just as he finished speaking, a purple-blue tiger monster descended in front of him. Judging from its appearance, its strength should be at the peak of the human race's divine infant realm.

What’s even more terrifying is that a pair of wings suddenly grew out of thin air behind the tiger, sending its fat body into the air.

"Be careful of its aerial aura bombardment!"

Xu ** had no corresponding awareness of prevention, but the Sword Spirit was the first to sense his combat status and gave him the most appropriate advice.

Sure enough, the tiger suddenly opened its bloody mouth and blasted a very powerful spiritual light ball towards Xu Yang's position on the ground.

Boom!

A large pit several meters deep appeared where Xu Yang was standing, which looked quite scary.
