The Qingge Sword, originally forged by Li Qingge, was a fourth-grade spiritual tool.
However, later on, engaged in returning the favor for the marriage fate brought about by Qingge Jingmeng, their sword master reforged and refined Qingge Sword three times, upgrading it to a sixth-grade spirit tool.
At the same time, Qingge Sword was officially crafted into a male sword.
Qingge Sword is a male sword.
Jingmeng Sword is a female sword.
The two swords were supposed to be a pair.
"A sixth-grade spirit tool, I’m so envious."
"Yes, ever since Jian Xuan brought a sixth-grade spirit tool from the peak a hundred years ago, no one else has obtained a sixth-grade spirit tool in over a hundred years."
"Indeed, Jian Xuan getting a sixth-grade spirit tool was key to his becoming a true divine weapon wielder under heaven."
"Yes, after all, there are less than ten sixth-grade spiritual tools across the entire Shenwu Kingdom."
Many disciples looked at Lin Bai with envious eyes.
Sixth-grade spirit tools are very rare in Shenwu Kingdom.
Because to unleash the perfect power of a sixth-grade spirit tool, one must have cultivation of the Divine Elixir Realm or be an unparalleled genius to truly unleash their power.
Now in the Shenwu Kingdom, how many real world-shaking geniuses could there be?
Therefore, a sixth-grade spirit tool is mostly a symbol of the strength within a sect.
For instance, the Canghai Yuntai Palace, the royal family of the Shenwu Kingdom, the Edgeless Sect, the Spirit Sword Sect, and the Fire Palace all have sixth-grade spirit tools, but they rarely show it.
Canghai Yuntai Palace even once boasted that there were ten sixth-grade spirit tools in their sect, stunning the Shenwu Kingdom and terrifying countless warriors, who dared not offend them.
Upon hearing this news, the Fire Palace immediately submitted and fawned over Canghai Yuntai Palace like a bowing dog.
This shows what a sixth-grade spirit tool means to a great sect.
At that moment, Lin Bai suddenly heard a vibration sound of a sword body hitting the ground in his ear.
Lin Bai cast his gaze into the crowd.
As Lin Bai’s eyes fell on them, everyone’s faces instantly changed, and they quickly stepped aside, unwilling to make eye contact with Lin Bai.
The crowd let a path clear, revealing a man to Lin Bai.
It happened to be Zhu Ziling.
At this moment, Zhu Ziling stood still, looking at Lin Bai with a face full of murderous aura.
Lin Bai curiously looked over, glanced at Zhu Ziling, and then instantly lost interest.
But when Lin Bai saw a third-grade spirit sword lying under Zhu Ziling’s foot, Lin Bai’s eyes became slightly colder.
He remembered that this sword was the one Zhu Ziling had pulled out from Sword Tomb Mountain.
And this sword had also chosen to follow him.
But Zhu Ziling had the sword right under his foot.
This made Lin Bai very unhappy.
To a sword cultivator, the sword is their life, their brother, their arm.
If this were a sword that Zhu Ziling had forged himself, even if he destroyed it, Lin Bai wouldn’t have given it a second look.
But this Roaming Sword was pulled out because it chose to follow Zhu Ziling.
The Roaming Sword, being stepped on by Zhu Ziling, was trembling slightly, and a hint of sword intention was leaking out.
"What are you shaking for!" Zhu Ziling felt the trembling from the Roaming Sword under his foot, and immediately barked at it, "When I go back, I’ll throw you into the sword furnace and melt you! Let’s see if you’ll still move!"
"You should not treat it this way, it chose to follow you. Even though its grade is not high, you should still give it the respect it deserves." Lin Bai looked at the Roaming Sword and said coldly.
Zhu Ziling laughed: "Heh, I can treat a sword that I won however I want, what’s it to you?"
Zhu Ziling snorted, grasped the Roaming Sword in his hand, and was about to turn around and leave.
Lin Bai shouted coldly.
Zhu Ziling turned his head back sarcastically, looked at Lin Bai for a second, and then sneered, "What? Is there anything else?"
"Leave the sword, and you may go." Lin Bai spoke, completely detached.
"Hahaha, Lin Bai, I know your name. You killed Murong Yeshen on No Return Cliff, but don’t forget that killing Murong doesn’t make you invincible at the Spirit Sword Sect!"
"Don’t provoke me, or you’ll get more than what you bargained for!"
Zhu Ziling threatened Lin Bai, then turned and left without looking back.
"I said, leave the sword, and I’ll let you go!"
"Don’t make me do this!"
Lin Bai’s eyes became colder, and as he held the Qingge Sword, a violent sword force erupted from his body, alarming everyone within a radius of several steps.
"Wow, he’s so powerful!"
"Murong could have died by his hand—he’s even become this strong."
"He’s only at the Eighth Level of Earth Martial Realm, but this sword force is hardly inferior to the Heaven Martial Realm! If he were to break through to the Heaven Martial Realm, wouldn’t that be..."
"Looks like Lin Bai is planning to confront Zhu Ziling!"
Pushed back by Lin Bai’s sword force, everyone gasped in amazement.
Having felt Lin Bai’s sword force, Zhu Ziling laughed coldly, "Haha, ridiculous, extremely ridiculous! Lin Bai, if you’re seeking death, I’ll oblige!"
He had yearned for a fifth-grade spirit sword, but in the end, only managed a third-grade one, which irritated him.
And right then, Lin Bai dared to challenge him.
The infuriating situation ignited rage within Zhu Ziling.
He turned back to Lin Bai, revealing a cold killing intention in his eyes, and with one swift turn, he thrust his sword towards Lin Bai, cutting through the air like a flash of lightning.
The Qingge Sword vibrated intensely, emitting an incredible energy.
Lin Bai suddenly felt an icy sensation from within the Qingge Sword, a powerful force coalesced in his hand, creating a feeling that with a wave of his hand, he could shatter the world!
Lin Bai looked at the Qingge Sword in surprise—unexpectedly, it was this powerful.
"Astonishing Wind Sword Skill—Eternal Silence of Mountains and Rivers!"
The might of the Qingge Sword erupted, with the formidable power of a sixth-grade spirit weapon, it wielded the most powerful blow of the Astonishing Wind Sword Skill!
A gust of wind swept across a hundred meters.
Unwary warriors got swept into the whirlwind, crying out in a panic.
Fortunately, they weren’t Lin Bai’s targets and remained unhurt. Otherwise, as soon as they were swept up in the storm, they would have been obliterated.
With resounding noise, the earth-shattering blow descended.
Zhu Ziling’s expression of contempt suddenly changed as he witnessed the power of Lin Bai’s sword, which frightened him to the point of turning pale.
With a single blow, it shattered Zhu Ziling’s sword force and struck him square in the chest.
Zhu Ziling spitted out blood, his body flying backward like a cut-string kite, landing a hundred meters away, lying motionless on the ground like a dead dog.
Defeated Zhu Ziling with a single blow.
To Lin Bai’s surprise, he looked at the Qingge Sword and mumbled, "Is this the might of a sixth-grade spirit weapon?"
"If I were to fight against Murong Yeshen again, without using the sword-intention skill, I could still easily defeat him!"
The power that the Qingge Sword demonstrated at that moment truly startled Lin Bai.
Maybe because the Qingge Sword hadn’t been unleashed formany years, hence when Lin Bai initially wielded it, it exploded with an incredible fighting strength.
