Chapter 696: A Conversation
"Is this what it means to attain the Heavenly Origin?"
Daoist Yan hovered in mid-air as she felt this wave of Dao essence surging into her body, gradually giving her the complete Rules of the Heavens and the Earth. Previously, her understanding of the Great Dao of the Cloud of Determination might have been around ninety-nine percent. All she needed was that missing piece to elevate everything else and reach a more profound level.
She was now in control of a portion of the countless Great Daos of the universe. Her spiritual energy had not increased significantly. After all, the greatest gap between the seventh and eighth realms wasn’t in cultivation energy or level.
It had more to do with one’s understanding of the fundamentals of life itself.
With a slow curl of her fingers, she could sense the Great Dao of the Cloud of Determination moving at her will. Yet, she didn’t linger on the sensation for long and instead raised her hand.
She summoned Shadow Bearer into her palm, and with a flash of light, she forced the sword spirit to project itself on the sword.
It was a dragon-headed soul, clearly a Jimeng Clansman.
"Your soul contains fragments of Baili Tong’s soul, which is why the sword exuded Baili Tong’s qi," Daoist Yan said after she had observed thoughtfully. "Who fused you into this sword?"
"Master!" the Jimeng Clansman suddenly shouted. "Wasn’t it you who made me the sword spirit of Shadow Bearer?"
All of this unfolded under the watchful eyes of the Sword-Hanging Kingdom’s citizens. Those who had been unclear about what had happened suddenly came to a realization. Could it be that Daoist Yan had executed some schemes, which then caused the Sword Emperor to lose control at the most critical moment?
In an instant, countless fiery gazes shot upward, like thousands of piercing arrows.
