The nine sage bodies were extremely rare and there may not even be one in a lifetime. Even during the glorious era, two or three were the most.
However, in this era where it was impossible to achieve Dao, the Nine Sage Bodies had all appeared!
Among them, the Battle and God Slaying Sage Bodies were killed by Ling Xian. The Cold Lunar Body was only half, and the King and Unparalleled Body was only a quarter.
The Sword of Infinity was not complete either. It was only half.
But no matter what, all nine sage bodies had appeared. This was unbelievable!
"There must be a reason for this. Since the beginning of time, the nine sage bodies have never been gathered. Now they are all here. How strange."
Ling Xian frowned, confused.
However, he couldn't think of a reason. He didn't even have a clue.
"Whatever, let nature take its course."
Ling Xian stopped thinking about this and shifted his gaze to the rusted sword, "Will you always have a human head and a sword body?"
"That's up to you." The rusted sword stared at Ling Xian, its eyes flickering with a strange light.
If this was anyone else, they would've fainted if not scared to death.
A human head and a sword body was far too eerie and terrifying. Only Ling Xian, who was used to seeing unbelievable things, could look at it calmly.
He frowned, "What do you mean by looking at me?"
"The reason why I showed myself is because you can help me."
The rusted sword stared at Ling Xian and said in a low voice, "To completely transform into the Sword of Infinity, I need one thing – the Qi of the Absolute Beginning."
Hearing this, Ling Xian frowned.
If the Light of the Absolute Beginning was the first ray of light after the world was created, then the Qi of the Absolute Beginning was the first gas.
It was rarer than all nine immortal metals combined. Even if one searched the entire universe, one might not be able to find it.
Ling Xian shook his head, "I cannot help you."
"No, you can."
The rusted sword smiled, "I know a place with the Qi of the Absolute Beginning. You are the only one who can go there."
"What place?" Ling Xian raised an eyebrow.
"The House of Supremacy."
The rusted sword erased its smile and said slowly, "I sense the House of Supremacy on you. If I am not wrong, you have a purple token."
"It really is …" Ling Xian's heart skipped a beat.
As early as when the Old Man of Nine Abandonments mentioned Taishang Mansion, he vaguely felt that the purple token was related to Taishang Mansion. At this moment, Rusted Sword's words undoubtedly confirmed his guess.
"The Supreme Residence truly exists, but it will not easily appear in the world. Only those who obtain the purple token can open the doors of the Supreme Residence."
"In the past, a good friend of mine obtained the token. Thus, I know that the Overlord Residence truly exists and that it contains the Primordial Qi."
"Sadly, at the time, I didn't know that the primordial qi was the key to the Endless Immortal Physique. By the time I found out, the token had already left him."
The rusted sword sighed and sighed with emotion at how fate made fools of people.
"No wonder you said that I could help you. However, I've already tried. Even with the token, I can't open the Venerable Residence."
Ling Xian squinted his eyes. If the House of Heavens really existed, then all the other rumors about the four ancient cities could be true as well.
"I know how to open it. As long as you nod, I will help you enter the Grand Residence. How about that?" the rusted sword said slowly.
"To me, that doesn't bring me any benefits." Ling Xian smiled. He wouldn't do anything that didn't bring him any benefits.
"Why not? Don't you want to know the history of the four ancient cities? "The rusted sword frowned.
"Of course I want to, but this is an unfair trade."
"You want the Primordial Qi, but you are only giving me the method to open it. That is far too unfair to me."
Ling Xian faintly smiled. The token was the key to entering the House of Heavens. He believed that as long as he patiently studied it, he would find a way to open it. There was no need to rush.
"What do you want?" the rusted sword asked after a moment of silence.
"It depends on what you have and what you can give me."
Ling Xian chuckled, "I'm not picky. As long as you can move me."
Hearing this, the rusted sword was silent for a moment. "If I'm not wrong, you have two Immortal Bones that are still being nurtured."
"That's right." Ling Xian nodded, not surprised.
The rusted sword could even sense the purple token, so it was reasonable for it to sense the Immortal Bones inside him.
"Speaking of this, I have to compliment you."
"Unbelievable. You have the Immortal Bones of the four sage bodies. You are far too heaven-defying."
The rusted sword sighed, unable to hide its shock.
It wasn't that it was ignorant, it was that this was far too unbelievable. If it was a normal Immortal Bone, it wouldn't be a big deal. But this was the Immortal Bone of the sage body!
What did it mean to be exclusive? It was unique. Even the undefeatable cultivators could not have it!
Yet Ling Xian had the Immortal Bones of the four sage bodies. How unbelievable was this? If it was anyone else, they would call him a freak.
"This doesn't seem to be our topic."
Ling Xian smiled, not wanting to talk about this.
"Alright, back to the topic. Do you want the two Immortal Bones to appear earlier?" The rusted sword chuckled.
"Of course. You have a way?" Ling Xian was interested.
"I have no way. I won't bring this up."
The rusted sword grinned, "However, I can only make one Immortal Bone appear earlier. The other one is not ready yet. If I force it to appear, it will only have 70 percent of its power."
"One …"
Ling Xian thought about it and decided to agree.
He had to go to the House of Highest Elders. It was worth it to trade for the Immortal Bones.
At once, Ling Xian nodded in agreement.
"Haha, alright. Whether or not I can become the true Endless Sword Physique depends on you."
The rusted sword laughed brightly, shaking the Sword Mound. The North, South, East, and West directions were shaking non-stop.
In the next second, four rays of light pierced through the air. Like children seeing their loved ones, they danced around the rusted sword.
Ling Xian's heart quivered as he guessed the rusted sword's identity.
Because these four heavenly swords were far too terrifying. Without exception, they were all comparable to supreme weapons.
Moreover, there were only four swords that possessed such might within the Sword Tomb, and they were the emperors of swords that the Sword Sect's Master had repeatedly warned him not to touch.
Therefore, the rusted sword's identity was obvious. Other than the Sword Master, who could make the four heavenly swords listen to him?
"It seems like you are the one the Supreme Headmaster spoke of, the one who is infinitely close to becoming a supreme being." Ling Xian squinted his eyes.
"That's me."
The rusted sword looked nostalgic, "My name is Lin Canghai, an ancient person from 20,000 years ago."
"The Endless Sword Physique sure is heaven-defying …"
Ling Xian's eyes froze. The rusted sword was infinitely close to becoming a supreme being. His lifespan was at most 10,000 years, but he had lived for more than 20,000 years. Obviously, it was because of the Endless Sword Physique.
"This is a blessing in misfortune."
The rusted sword smiled, "Alright, I will give you an amulet."
As soon as he spoke, the four heavenly swords pierced through the air and pointed at Ling Xian's right chest.
Then, a sword mark appeared. It had the power to split the sky and split the earth.
"If you are in danger, activate this sword mark. It can save your life."
The rusted sword wiped away his smile, "Alright, take out your token. I will help you open the House of Highest Elders."
