“Could it be that brother Wang is the descendant of Divine Sword Deity?” He Xingu gulped.

“Divine Sword Deity never married… He died in battle in the dark fog, so how could he have descendants?” The old dojo master shook his head, “Perhaps, it’s because of this young man’s extraordinary talent… After all, the pets that he nurtured could easily defeat the mechanical pet that the many prodigies of Jiangnan Province could not…”

However, in reality, it wasn’t that Wang Ye had extraordinary talent.

It was just that his soul was no longer in his body, but had entered the ancient sword!

Scenes appeared in Wang Ye’s soul one after another.

“A mere ten thousand strange gods, I can slaughter them like dogs!”

“A pile of scrap metal dares to use a sword in front of me?”

“Bullshit Deity, you’re just a lackey!”

“You call this a pet? It is but a domesticated animal!”

“You’re just a pile of scrap data. You’re really insulting the word “sword”!”

“…”

Scenes flashed past like slides, then as if a replay of a movie, they appeared in Wang Ye’s soul.

Wang Ye was silent.

In the scene, a man wearing a black robe and holding a long sword was standing, surrounded by several swords.

Beside the man was a bear-type pet that was dozens of meters tall that was holding a sword that was as big as a mountain, fighting alongside him.

As for their opponents…

Scenes flashed past, and Wang Ye’s scalp went numb.

Other than strange gods exuding the power of strangeness hiding in the dark fog, there were also mechanical beasts that were as tall as mountains…

“A hundred years ago…” The scenes played like Wang Ye’s memories in his mind.

He could see all of this because he had become a sword soul.

That’s right! The brilliant gold characteristic, Peerless Sword Soul!

[Peerless Sword Soul (brilliant gold): Your soul has undergone some kind of change and has become a sword soul. Even if you die, you can possess all things, changing your item of choice into a peerless divine sword. You will not be restricted by Heaven and Earth or the elements. You can be independent of space and transcend time. When you possess a sword-related sword, the sword soul will have absolute control. In the sword soul form, you will have an extremely powerful learning ability. You can learn any sword-related skills and have a deep understanding of them. In battle, all sword-related skills will have an extremely powerful amplification. Any skills below the inheritance grade will have no negative effects on you. Negative effects from mythical skills and above will be halved.]

“You can possess anything and turn it into a peerless divine sword. If you possess a sword, you will become a sword soul with absolute control over the sword.”

Wang Ye obtained this characteristic from Xiao Tao, but he had never used it before.

He had originally wanted to test it out on the Seven-star sword spirit, but he had been busy running simulations ever since getting the characteristic.

Wang Ye had just thought of using this brilliant gold characteristic.

When he possessed this ancient sword, Wang Ye turned into a sword soul and fused with the sword intent within, thus seeing these fragmented scenes.

This ancient sword was the Deity’s personal sword. It had been around for a very long time and had been following that Deity forever.

The feeling of becoming a sword soul was very subtle.

Wang Ye could not describe it. He could only feel that he was no longer a human but had truly become a sword.

“The life of a Deity is really legendary…” Through the ancient sword, the last scene that Wang Ye saw did not seem to be what He Xingu had said, that the Deity had died in the dark fog.

Instead, he had died together with the mechanical beast in battle.

The move he used was the Machine-fighting Sword Technique.

Yes.

This sword technique was no ordinary sword technique. It was a unique sword technique specialized in targeting mechanical creatures.

“In that era a hundred years ago, it seemed that the mechanical pets had just appeared in Dongli’s… It was the time when the mechanical pets of the Xionggang Empire shone brilliantly and gradually spread to Dongli, causing a huge change in the pet culture of Jiangnan Province… How interesting.”

Wang Ye closed his eyes and immersed himself in the sword technique.

In essence, this was a sword technique that was purely a concept. It did not have any sword moves.

The emphasis was on using one’s spirit to control one’s sword and break through the mechanical pet’s inner core. By condensing one’s spiritual energy into the Machine-fighting Sword Intent, one could then break through the mechanical pet’s central core in one move, and the mechanical pet would immediately lose its consciousness. After that, the sword intent would travel through the mechanical pet’s body parts, cutting off the energy circuits. With that, the mechanical pet would disintegrate!

Thus taking down the mechanical pet in one move!

“Nowadays, mechanical pets are the mainstream in Tianji Sword Dojo, and even more than half of the beastmasters in Jiangnan province worship mechanical pets. Who would have thought that the Divine Sword Deity, who was born a hundred years ago in Jiangnan Province, would create such a set of sword techniques targeting mechanical pets?” For a moment, Wang Ye felt that it was somewhat ridiculous.

It was no wonder the later beastmasters of Tianji Sword Dojo were unable to comprehend the sword intent within.

From a cultivation point of view, the difficulty of mastering this sword technique was very high.

That being said, the fact that no one in Tianji Sword Dojo had been able to learn it in the past hundred years was definitely not just because of the difficulty.

They had mechanical pets, so it was simply impossible for them to do so. In fact, when they comprehended it, they would suffer a strong repulsive effect…

“But, why was the sword rabbit repelled too?” Wang Ye shook his head, still unable to understand.

Looking at the various sword pets, at this stage, there shouldn’t be any that were more talented than the sword rabbit.

“Either way, I have finally learned this sword technique. At last, there’s a sword technique that I can learn but the sword rabbit can’t,” Wang Ye sighed.

It was time to be a teacher.

After possessing the brilliant gold characteristic, he seemed to be quite capable.

“It’s a pity that I can’t take this sword with me. Otherwise, with the Peerless Sword Soul, becoming an ancient sword’s sword soul would be equivalent to having the power of this ancient sword… The remnant sword intent left behind by Divine Sword Deity might be old, but if I use it, I might be able to cosplay as Divine Sword Deity himself. Although I might only have ten to twenty percent of the Deity’s strength…”

Without a doubt, the brilliant gold characteristic was extremely powerful.

For humans to possess such a characteristic was equivalent to possessing a powerful talent.

“However, being able to obtain this sword technique is already enough. This senior once had such a repulsion towards mechanical pets… He probably didn’t expect that mechanical pets would be everywhere here after a hundred years, right? The times have changed!”

Wang Ye deactivated his sword soul consciousness, and his soul returned to his body from the ancient sword…
