Xie Zhou could sense the joy of the first sect leader of the Sword Sect from the sound of his voice, that he had found a successor who could inherit his skills. However, Xie Zhou knew that he already possessed the sword intent of life, so why should he accept this ruthless sword intent?
Although she didn't know why this sword intent was called "ruthless," she could sense that this ruthless sword intent was truly devoid of emotion when she fought against the consciousness of the first sect leader. It was solely focused on defeating the enemy in one move and achieving victory in the war.
Moreover, humans are not plants or trees; how can they be without feelings? To master this sword intent, one would probably have to abandon all emotions and desires.
Xie Zhou felt that these things were definitely impossible, and Xie Zhou knew that he already had the Life Sword Intent, so why would he cultivate the Ruthless Sword Intent? He was afraid that he would not be able to handle it.
Having received all the inherited power of the first Sword Sect Master, she could imagine how powerful she would become; this ruthless sword intent should seek another master.
After all, it's uncertain whether the Ruthless Sword Intent and the Life Sword Intent can complement each other, or whether they might suppress or repel each other. So what's the point of Xie Zhou bringing this formless sword intent? Isn't it just futile and painful?
Xie Zhou only guessed that the Ruthless Sword Intent was like this, but dared not draw any conclusions. So he bowed and asked, "Please show yourself, Sect Master. There is something I don't understand. How was this Ruthless Sword Intent obtained? And how was it forged?"
The first sect leader of the Sword Sect was overjoyed. After thousands of years, he had finally found someone to inherit his legacy. Of course, he answered all his questions without hesitation, and then he appeared in front of Xie Zhou.
As expected, the first sect leader of the Sword Sect looked exactly like the consciousness he had encountered on Sword Mountain. Xie Zhou couldn't resist the sight of such beauty and stared at it for a while before looking down at his toes.
"Young lady, you have truly opened our eyes this time. You are the first person in history to successfully pass these three trials and achieve the best results, so the power of inheritance will naturally be given to you."
"I can feel the power of all living beings. You will surely have a bright future. I am passing on the ruthless sword intent to you to fulfill my wish. I am very happy to see how powerful you are. My mission here will also come to an end."
"Of course I will hand it all over to you. After I leave, I will be left with a powerful set of skills with nowhere to put them. I'm afraid I will feel uneasy. So please accept this ruthless sword intent, the ruthlessness itself, and all the so-called inherited power!"
Xie Zhou heard these words and felt like she had heard them somewhere before. This reminded her of the two powerful figures she had encountered before. Weren't they after these things?
She didn't speak, but smiled slightly and said, "Sect Master, however, this disciple is still very curious, when did the Sect Master of the Ruthless Sword Intent attain enlightenment?"
"Hahaha... It's a long story. The Ruthless Sword Intent is just like its name, devoid of desire and ambition, without the slightest emotion. Back then, I fought my way through the martial world alone, overcoming numerous obstacles and finally emerging victorious, making a name for myself and establishing this Sword Sect. However, I never met the one I longed for in my life. Over time, these feelings faded away, and my swordsmanship evolved into the Ruthless Sword Intent. I can't explain the origins of it all..."
"Uh-huh……"
Xie Zhou nodded. She felt that she should refuse to cultivate the Sword Sect Master's Ruthless Sword Intent, since she already had the Life Sword Intent.
Seeing that Xie Zhou seemed very interested, the sect leader stepped forward and revealed his ruthless sword in front of her.
He said, "This is the Ruthless Sword."
Xie Zhou then raised his hand and bowed respectfully, saying, "Sect Master, I'm sorry, I cannot accept this Ruthless Sword. I do not wish to cultivate this Ruthless Sword Intent. I will help you preserve the Ruthless Sword Intent. When the time is right, if someone is destined to possess this Ruthless Sword Intent, I will entrust it to that person. The Ruthless Sword Intent will not be wasted."
The sect leader immediately sheathed the Peerless Sword, his face showing some displeasure. He then flicked his sleeve and said, "Hmph! Does Miss Xie look down on my Ruthless Sword Intent? Although your power of all living beings is much stronger than these sword intents, one cannot be so arrogant. So many people want to obtain this Ruthless Sword Intent, but no matter what they do, they can't get it. And I wanted to give it to you, but you refused. You don't know what's good for you!"
Seeing his furrowed brow, Xie Zhou quickly stepped forward and explained, "Sect Master, I am truly sorry. It's not that I don't want this Ruthless Sword Intent, but rather that I have already comprehended my own sword intent. I dare not accept this Ruthless Sword Intent again. Moreover, passing on the Ruthless Sword Intent to someone else might be far better than to me. I will be more careful in choosing the right person. Sect Master, rest assured, the Ruthless Sword Intent will find its most suitable master!"
Hearing Xie Zhou's assurance, the Sword Sect Master was relieved and gave Xie Zhou the Ruthless Sword Intent and the Ruthless Sword.
He instructed, "It's fine if you don't want to accept it, young lady. If someone suitable comes along, then give it to them..."
"Your disciple obeys!"
Xie Zhou placed the crystal core formed from the ruthless sword intent and the ruthless sword into his storage space, and then planned to accept the inheritance power of the Sword Sect Master.
The sect leader said, "Since that's the case, then so be it. Now sit cross-legged on the lotus platform over there and adjust your breathing."
"yes…"
Xie Zhou did as he said, and she also used her hands to gather her inner strength in her palms.
The sect leader also sat cross-legged behind her, with his hands on her back.
"here we go…"
The Sword Sect Master's eyes gleamed, and a ball of light gradually condensed in his palm, continuously transmitting the power of his inheritance to Xie Zhou.
She closed her eyes and felt the power coming from behind her.
...
A moment later, the Sword Sect Master's face was slightly pale, and there were beads of sweat on his forehead. He wiped them away casually and then woke Xie Zhou.
Xie Zhou opened his eyes, feeling a surge of power coursing through his body. He stood up, stretched his wrists, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Sect Master!"
"Need not……"
Then the person disappeared.
At this moment, the guardian appeared and told Xie Zhou, "Miss Xie is the only person who can climb all the sword mountains. The Sword Sect Token left by the Sword Sect Master is also given to you... Goodbye!"
After she accepted the token and bowed respectfully, a door appeared before her.
Xie Zhou stepped inside, and soon after she left the tomb of the Sword Sect Master.
Because she received all the inheritance of the Sword Sect Master right when she came out.
"Bang!"
"ah!"
Xie Zhou was startled and quickly took a few steps forward, looking at the debris on the ground.
His face was filled with confusion and shock.
The Sword Sect Master's coffin suddenly exploded, and he was gone.
The people outside were equally surprised, and the scene became somewhat awkward as almost everyone looked at Xie Zhou.
