"It doesn't matter if this method works or not. I have to try it." Jianchen was determined. He did not enter the third floor in a hurry. Instead, he arrived at the end of the second floor. A sword Qi that was over thirty thousand meters long hovered in the shattered darkness. It would never fade away.
This was one of the four swords of the Nirvanic Immortal Exalt, the Mortal Sword. It had fused with a way of the Nirvanic Immortal Exalt, allowing the sword to sever the foundation of immortals, preventing them from becoming immortals forever.
"The Mortal Sword. In the past, the Nirvanic Immortal Exalt was unable to destroy the Anatta Tower, so he suppressed the tower and split the tower spirit into nine pieces, sealing them in the nine floors of the Anatta Tower. Now, the Artifact Spirit of the Anatta Tower has become extremely weak after being suppressed for so many years. I've already killed the artifact spirits on the first and second floors, but unfortunately, the Artifact Spirits become more powerful the higher I go. With my current strength, it'll be difficult for me to reach the ninth floor. If I don't destroy the Artifact Spirit on the ninth floor, the Artifact Spirit of the Anatta Tower will continue to exist. I hope you can assist me and fight the tower spirit with me. Destroy it completely and complete the Nirvanic Immortal Exalt's final wish. At the same time, the Anatta Tower that originally belonged to the Saints' World will become something of our Immortals' World," Jianchen said sincerely as he stared at the huge Mortal Sword in the air.
The Mortal Sword hovered in the dark space silently. It did not move at all. Although it was only condensed from a strand of sword Qi from the Mortal Sword, it had already gained a certain level of intelligence after so many years.
Jianchen waited there for quite a while. Seeing how the Mortal Sword did not react, he entered the Way of the Sword again in an attempt to resonate with the sword Qi. He did not attempt to comprehend the concept that belonged to Sword God within the sword Qi. He only wanted the Mortal Sword to acknowledge him and treat him as one of its kind.
This was because the Nirvanic Immortal Exalt had comprehended the Way of the Sword. He had also comprehended the Way of the Sword, so they walked the same path. Although there were probably quite a few sword immortals who had comprehended the Way of the Sword in the Immortals' World, the Way of the Sword he had comprehended had nothing to do with the Nirvanic Immortal Exalt. However, Jianchen treated this as a sliver of hope.
The Sword of Mortality did not move at all. It remained still in the darkness, existing forever.
After that, Jianchen tried many other methods, but all of them ended in failure. In the end, he stayed here for three days. After seeing that there was no effect, he left.
However, Jianchen did not give up. The Sword Qi already had a spirit. He firmly believed that the Sword Qi could understand his words.
Before long, he arrived before the second illusionary sword on the second floor. This was the Nirvanic Immortal Exalt's Sword of Reincarnation. It had fused with a way of the Nirvanic Immortal Exalt, allowing the sword to possess the power of reincarnation.
It could make immortals fall into the cycle of samsara, where they would struggle to break free even after countless lifetimes.
Jianchen repeated what he had said in front of the Sword of Mortality. Afterwards, he tried many other methods, but the results were the same. He did not receive any response.
Three days later, Jianchen left without any hesitation. He arrived before the Sword of Slaughter on the second floor, but the results were the same as before.
Jianchen also stayed there for three days before heading to the fourth sword of the Nirvanic Immortal Exalt, the Sword of Slaying.
Another three days passed, and Jianchen left dejectedly. He arrived on the first floor of the Anatta Tower reluctantly. He went to the four cardinal directions once again.
Twelve days later, Jianchen visited all the four swords on the first floor, but he was still disappointed. Although the four strands of sword Qi had a spirit, they completely ignored Jianchen. They did not respond at all.
"Could it be that my thinking is wrong? Although the sword Qi have a spirit, they're not as intelligent as I imagined them to be. They can't understand what I'm trying to do at all. Or perhaps the spirits of the sword Qi understand what I'm trying to do, but they can only suppress the Anatta Tower because of the will of the Nirvanic Immortal Exalt. They can't help me deal with the spirit of the Anatta Tower? " Jianchen murmured as disappointment filled his face. He could not help but doubt his rather wild thoughts. After all, they were only sword Qi left behind by the Nirvanic Immortal Exalt in the past.
"There are a hundred and eight slashes outside the Anatta Tower, Jianchen. Even though each slash is only a few meters long, I can sense that they're even more powerful than the four sword Qi that are thirty thousand meters long. They're even more intelligent. Regardless of whether I succeed in the end, I have to try," Jian Chen thought. Determination filled his eyes. He immediately dismissed his thoughts and walked out of the Anatta Tower.
The hundred and eight slashes that were several meters long were deeply imprinted on the Anatta Tower. They covered the entire tower and flickered with light as they radiated with surging sword Qi. Thirty-six illusionary swords had been conjured from the thirty-six slashes, slowly revolving around the Anatta Tower.
Jian Chen stood outside the Anatta Tower as he stared at the sword slashes. In particular, when he saw the flickering light within the slashes, he felt like he was hallucinating. It was as if there was a figure sitting within the light or a new life being nurtured within the light.
"I can clearly sense that each of the one hundred and eight sword slashes is much more powerful than the four swords I saw in the tower. Moreover, the spirituality contained within the sword slashes is so strong that it's not something the four swords in the tower can compare to." Jianchen murmured as he stared at the thirty-six sword Qi that slowly revolved around the Anatta Tower.
He could also tell that the thirty-six sword Qi were the Swords of Mortality, Swords of Reincarnation, Swords of Slaughter, and Swords of Destruction. There were nine swords each.
Jianchen slowly moved his gaze upwards. He discovered that the light within the slashes became more powerful the further up he went. At the same time, the number of slashes decreased as well. When he saw the eight sword slashes on the seventh floor, the divine light inside was already extremely blinding. The invisible soaring Sword Intent that radiated out shook his mind, causing him to feel a sense of trepidation.
There were also eight slashes on the eighth floor, but they were much more powerful than the seventh floor. Every single slash seemed to nurture a miniature sun. The sword intent was shocking and filled with intelligence. Jianchen did not dare to stare at them for too long.
However, when Jianchen glanced towards the ninth floor, he suddenly became stunned. There were only four slashes on the ninth floor, but they were not as bright and powerful as he had expected. Instead, they were dim and did not possess any intelligence at all. As a matter of fact, Jianchen only saw four empty slashes.
"Have the four strands of sword Qi vanished?" Jianchen was stunned. He knew that there had to have been shocking sword Qi within the four slashes because the remaining slashes could prove his guess. However, for some reason, the four strands of sword Qi that were supposed to be the most powerful on the Anatta Tower had suddenly vanished.
Jianchen did not think too much about this. He slowly rose into the air and entered Sword Origin. He released his own comprehension and attempted to communicate with the sword slashes. He wanted to resonate with them. If the sword slashes did not possess intelligence, Jianchen definitely would not have done something like that. However, they had already possessed intelligence, so Jianchen believed that they could understand what he was trying to say. It was just a matter of whether they would help him or not.
Jianchen slowly rose up. Very soon, he passed through the first and second floor before reaching the third and fourth floor. However, without any exception, the sword slashes did not react at all.
Jianchen sighed inside. He had already guessed this outcome, but he still did not give up. He gritted his teeth and continued to fly towards higher floors.
Very soon, he reached the seventh and eighth floors. The sword slashes on the two floors did not react either. They shone with dazzling light and were filled with intelligence, but they completely ignored Jianchen.
Jianchen became even more disappointed. He did not want to go to the ninth floor anymore because there were only empty slashes there. In his opinion, it would be pointless even if he went there. However, even Jianchen failed to notice that strands of weak presence had drifted out from his body. They drifted to the ninth floor and were absorbed by the four empty slashes.
Jianchen began to slowly descend. Just when he reached the seventh floor from the eighth floor, a shocking sword Qi suddenly radiated from the four empty slashes. The sword Qi was not very powerful, nowhere near as powerful as the eight slashes on the eighth floor. However, it made Jianchen come to a halt. He raised his head and stared at the four empty slashes eagerly.
The white light from the four slashes became brighter and brighter. Very soon, they became dazzling like miniature suns, dyeing the entire world snow-white. Although the sword Qi and the spirits in the four slashes had vanished for some reason, there were still strands of weak sword Qi in the four slashes. These strands of sword Qi were insignificant compared to the sword Qi on the eighth, seventh, and even lower floors. They were not even enough to suppress the Anatta Tower.
However, at that moment, the strands of sword Qi that had fallen from the four empty slashes rapidly condensed in the dazzling white light.
This lasted for several seconds. When the white light from the four slashes dispersed, the four slashes on the ninth floor had completely dimmed. They had become four deep slashes. Four small swords that shone with a faint white light hovered before him. The swords were only the size of a palm. They were small and delicate, and they were translucent like crystals.
The four small swords slowly drifted down from the air before arriving before Jianchen in the end.
