Inside the endless mountains, Ling Xian's brows were emitting light. As he sensed for the heavenly swords, he marched forward.
Though he already had the Sword of Seeking, heavenly swords were rare and nobody would complain about having too many.
Therefore, Ling Xian carefully searched for them.
However, all he could see were swords of the second and third realm. To others, they were extraordinary, but to him, they were like scrap metal.
"The Supreme Headmaster said there are 36 first realm heavenly swords here. I have to take one with me."
Ling Xian smiled. He didn't have the habit of returning empty-handed.
Therefore, he wasn't impatient and continued to search patiently.
After half an hour, a strange energy appeared. It was similar to the heavenly swords, but different.
"Strange energy …"
Ling Xian squinted his eyes and in a flash, he arrived at the source of the energy after a few breaths.
After that, he saw a towering and precipitous mountain that was thousands of feet tall, and a divine sword that was surrounded by rays of light that was almost disintegrated.
It was inserted into the mountain peak and was emitting terrifying energy that twisted the space and cracked the mountain.
It was obvious that it was about to explode.
"A heavenly sword disintegrating is rare."
Shock flashed across Ling Xian's eyes, but there was also a flash of happiness.
If a heavenly sword disintegrates, its essence will pause for a moment and not dissipate immediately. If he can absorb it, the Sword of Seeking Dao will grow stronger.
At once, Ling Xian took out the Sword of Seeking Dao. Three colored light swirled around and cold sword intent shot through the sky.
"Let's wait a little longer. Now is not the time."
Ling Xian's eyes flickered. Only when the sword disintegrates will the essence emerge. Only when he grasps that fleeting opportunity can he absorb it.
Therefore, he held his breath and concentrated.
Time passed by silently. After half an hour, the heavenly sword completely disintegrated and the essence emerged.
"Now is the time!"
Ling Xian's eyes shone brightly. He used his Qi to gather the sword's essence and injected it into the Sword of Seeking Dao.
Immediately, three colored light shot through the cloud. The Sword of Seeking Dao shook violently and crumbled the space.
"Refine!"
Ling Xian formed a hand seal and spiritual energy poured out of him to absorb the sword's essence.
To someone of the extraordinary realm like him, this wasn't a difficult task. Therefore, after an hour, the Sword of Seeking Dao absorbed all the essence.
Then, the sword emitted a dazzling light. Like an undying sun, it lit up all nine levels of heaven and all 10 levels of earth.
If the previous Dao-Seeking Sword was a second-grade pseudo-divine sword, then the current sword was a true first-grade divine sword!
This made Ling Xian smile in satisfaction.
Then, he took out four high quality quenching stones and melted them with the True Flame of Burning Evil.
This item had the ability to temper the edge of a sword. To put it bluntly, it was a precious treasure.
If Ling Xian didn't pass the first four levels of the Sealed Sword Pagoda, it would be very difficult for him to obtain it.
"These four top-grade Sword Quenching Stones are enough to increase the power of the Dao Seeking Sword by 30%!"
Ling Xian's eyes flashed with anticipation. Then, he dripped the liquid from the quenching stone onto the Sword of Dao Seeking.
Every time a drop fused with it, the glow of the Dao Seeking Sword grew a bit more resplendent, and its imposing aura grew a bit more fierce. In the end, it was fierce to the point that even space itself split apart.
Its sharpness was unparalleled. Even among the divine swords, it could be said to be outstanding. It could even be said to be the strongest divine sword!
After all, this sword was made from three different types of immortal metals. In terms of material, not even a supreme weapon can compare.
After absorbing the essence of the heavenly sword and refining it with a high quality quenching stone, it naturally reached an insanely powerful stage.
"When I step into the peak of humanity, this sword will for sure transform into a supreme weapon!"
Caressing the Sword of Dao Seeking, Ling Xian's lips curled into a smile. He was ecstatic.
At this moment, an apathetic voice suddenly rang out, causing his smile to turn serious.
"Not a bad sword. Compared to my sword, it is not that far off."
Hearing this, Ling Xian's gaze froze and he was a little shaken.
His spiritual sense was much sharper than normal people. Even if it was a cultivator at the peak of the eighth level, he could sense it.
However, he could not sense where the owner of the voice was. From this, it became obvious that this person's capabilities far surpassed his.
However, Ling Xian did not panic. He remained calm and collected, "Who are you? Can you show yourself? "
"I am afraid of scaring you."
A cold voice arose. It was cold like ice and eerie like a demon.
"After cultivating for so many years, I have seen far too many unbelievable things. Perhaps you can suppress me, but you cannot scare me."
Ling Xian softly grinned. He could even calmly look at the strange eyes of the Saint Lusters, why would he be so easily scared?
"Is that so? Then I will show you."
A sigh arose. Then, an unbelievable scene appeared.
It was a sword. It was simple, unadorned, and full of rust. Just like the sword Ling Xian used during the battles, it was ordinary and unremarkable.
The reason why it was unbelievable was because the hilt of the sword was a head. A human head.
A nose, a mouth, eyes, and everything else. The eyes were full of life and the hair was jet black. It was no different from a human head!
This shocked Ling Xian and sent chills down his spine.
This was far too eerie. He had heard about the legend of a human head and a snake body, but a human head and a sword body was something he had never heard of!
"Are you scared …"
The rusted sword spoke with a hint of a smile on its face.
"Are you a sword or a human?" Ling Xian stared at the head and calmed himself down.
"I don't know. Looking at you right now, are you a human or a sword?"
The rusted sword softly sighed, "Have you heard of the Endless Sword Body?"
"You mean the Endless Sword Body of the nine sage bodies?" Ling Xian's pupils constricted.
In terms of battling abilities, the nine sage bodies are the best of the same level. But the strangest of the nine sage bodies is without a doubt, the Endless Sword Body.
Legend has it that this body can freely transform between a sword and a human. When it is a human, it has seven emotions and six desires. It can kill and destroy.
But when it is a sword, it only knows how to kill. Its battling abilities are heaven-defying and hard to destroy.
The most shocking part is that once it transforms into a sword, it is indestructible and immortal.
This is why this body is named Endless, meaning it has no end.
"Since you have heard of it, I won't say more. You should know how tempting the Endless Sword Body is." The rusted sword sighed.
"I understand."
Ling Xian nodded softly. Ignoring the heaven-defying battling abilities of the Endless Sword Body, the ability to transform into a sword and become immortal was hard to resist.
At that moment, he seemed to have realized something and said, "You can't be the Endless Sword Body, right?"
"To be more accurate, I am the incomplete Endless Sword Body."
The rusted sword's eyes were filled with nostalgia. It looked extremely strange. If it was a coward, they would most likely be scared to death.
"When I found out about the existence of the Endless Sword Body in this world, I was tempted. It was for shocking battling abilities and for immortality."
"Though it is not true immortality, in this era where it is impossible to achieve Taoism, to transform into a sword and live forever is already a great fortune."
"Therefore, I searched through ancient books and after more than a thousand years, I finally found a way to transform into the Endless Sword Body."
"You see the result."
"I am neither a human nor a sword. I don't even dare to go out and see people."
The rusted sword exclaimed. There was some sadness and some bitterness, but no regret.
"No wonder you have a human head and a sword body. It is the incomplete Endless Sword Body. You cannot freely transform between a human and a sword."
Ling Xian looked at the rusted sword deeply. He didn't think the Endless Sword Body would appear.
