Beauty and the Bodyguard

10188 Chapter 10187-

The incomplete sword soul couldn’t be awakened even if the world’s will tried to communicate with it. In fact, it was different from the dormant Dragon Abyss sword soul. It was constantly losing energy throughout the whole process. If it was left alone for a few more years, it would probably be completely lost.

Lin Yi suddenly made a shocking discovery.

“Do you think the ancient swords buried here have their own sword souls, but they’ve been lost over time, and most of them have died out?”

Jiang xiaoshang agreed,”it’s not impossible. The existence of the sword catacomb is like the netherworld to humans. It’s the final destination of the dead and also the place where they reincarnate.”

If it’s just an ordinary sword without a sword soul, it doesn’t need to reincarnate. ”

Lin Yi was shocked.

If this saying was true, then all the ancient swords in front of him were existences that once had sword souls. Where did they come from?

As long as there was a sword soul, even if it was not at the level of the ten great ancient swords, it was definitely a rare and peerless sword in the world. Even though he had occasionally heard of it over the years, he had not really seen many of them.

Even if he counted the time since ancient times, there wouldn’t be too many swords like this. At most, there would be tens of thousands of them, and this was the limit of Lin Yi’s knowledge.

But right now, the number was not just ten thousand, it was ten billion or even a hundred billion!

“Even if not all of them had a sword soul, and only one percent, or even one-thousandth of them had a sword soul, that would still be too exaggerated.”

Lin Yi shook his head. It was scary enough to change his entire world view.

At this moment, Jiang xiaoshang said faintly,”my original body once said something. The process of a person becoming truly strong is the process of constantly breaking their own perception.”

If you feel that your understanding is going to be overturned, then I can only congratulate you. You’re one step closer to becoming stronger. ”

Lin Yi was speechless.

The impact of this matter was too great for him, and even he needed to digest it for a while.

Looking back, the three incomplete sword souls that he had obtained were rare in the outside world, but they were of no value to most people.

Because it was completely useless.

Even if he deliberately supplemented them with sword Qi, he would not be able to change their state from the root. At most, he would only delay the time of their death, but there was no substantial meaning to it.

However, Lin Yi had two plans.

The first was to let the Dragon Abyss sword soul devour them.

They were of the same kind, and they were all lifeforms formed by energy. Their birth was a process of devouring each other and evolving. With the level of the Dragon Abyss sword soul, it was not a problem for it to devour these three incomplete sword souls.

Moreover, from the reaction of the Dragon Abyss sword soul, he could tell that this was of great benefit to it. At the very least, it could greatly shorten the process of its recovery.

But Lin Yi gave up on the idea.

The reason was simple. Although this could speed up the recovery process, it would inevitably lose the purity of one of the ten great ancient swords. In the end, whether the gains outweighed the losses or the losses outweighed the gains were still two different things.

And so, Lin Yi didn’t hesitate at all and used the second option.

The demonic devour sword.

As one of the weapons he’d used the most in the past few years, Lin Yi never let go of the nurturing of the sword, especially after opening up a new world. The New World had become the best place to nurture the sword.

The accelerated evolution of the New World didn’t just change the world itself, but even the demon devouring sword that Lin Yi had bound to it was undergoing a tremendous change.

If one examined it carefully, one would see that its internal structure would undergo a complete transformation.

In other words, the demonic devouring sword was evolving along with the New World!

As the legendary ominous sword, Lin Yi could clearly feel the violent energy suppressed within it during the entire evolution process. However, this energy was sealed by layers, and the sword itself was a container of the seal.

Even with Lin Yi’s current knowledge, he couldn’t see through the source of this power.

The only thing he could be sure of was that it was of a very high level, no lower than a peak Supreme realm. If it was fully released, even Lin Yi might not be able to control it!

Following the demonic devouring sword’s evolution, the seal on the berserk power began to loosen up bit by bit, and a trace of power began to leak into the sword.

Fortunately, the new world’s will and the demonic devouring sword had gradually integrated and could now control it in all aspects. This way, at least it could ensure that it would not suddenly go berserk.

But if that was all, it would still be difficult for Lin Yi to use the leaked energy.

Unless he was willing to consume a large amount of the world’s will.

However, after absorbing the three incomplete sword souls, it was equivalent to adding three more assistants to the world’s will. Although they were not smart enough, under the world’s will’s control, they were more than enough to stand on the ground and do some work.

Of course, this was not enough.

If Lin Yi wanted to be able to control it as if it was his own arm without overusing the new world’s will, he had to find more sword souls, even better if they were complete like the Dragon Abyss sword soul.

Only then would he be able to truly use the power that the demonic devouring sword had leaked out in actual combat.

Just as Lin Yi was thinking about where to find more sword souls, a thousand meters away on a slope, two figures squatted quietly, observing his every move.

One of them had a lithe figure, and her every movement was full of style-she was even on par with Lin Yi’s women.

Her name was Gu Xian.

He was originally from the secular world. Later, he fell in love with a scholar and killed him until he was in a dead end. In the end, he was saved by a passing Sword Saint and joined the sword Pavilion.

In her hand was the Moxie sword, one of the ten great swords of the ancient era.

The other person beside him was dressed in a green robe and had a paper fan. He looked like a scholar.

Her name was he Chuxia. She was the scholar who had fallen in love with the ancient immortal and eventually set up a killing plan to kill her beloved. In the end, the sword Saint had foiled the plan midway. After that, she had joined the sword Pavilion with the ancient immortal.

And now, on his back was the general’s sword, which was known as the world’s sword of love along with the Moxie sword.

A pair of lovers who loved and killed each other, a pair of love swords who relied on each other.

If such a combination were to be placed outside, it was estimated that they would attract countless young men and women to pursue them. Unfortunately, in front of them, it really seemed to spoil the scenery.

Whether it was Gu Xian, a famous courtesan with a myriad of flirtatious expressions, or he Chuxia, a scholar with a deep love for her, they were both looking at each other with undisguised loathing and disgust.

If they had known that the sword Saint had made such an arrangement, they would never have joined the sword Pavilion.

Not all lovers in the world could finally get married. People like them, who grew from love to hate and disliked each other, were everywhere.
