The General Assembly
The Death Sword would not unsheathe, so how would he be able to use it?
As a Primal Sword, its role and use was unprecedentedly large! This is why Su Yun fought as if his life was on the line. It was simply because of its domineering power.
But he would have never thought that after conquering the sword, he could not even unsheathe the sword? What was the difference between junk and this?
“Elder! You should know the cause of this, so I ask if elder could please enlighten me! How will I be able to unsheathe the sword!?”
Su Yun shouted.
The sword elder truly did know the cause of this situation.
He could only see the sword elder shake his head and sigh as he responded, “The reason that the Death Sword could not be unsheathed is because you have not yet fully conquered it.”
“I did not completely conquer it? How is that possible? It has already stopped resisting. It is evident that I have already fully conquered it!” Su Yun said as his eyebrows creased.
“Nope! You did not finish it!” The sword elder shook his head, “In fact, it is not your fault. If, at that time, you did not do that, you would have probably been killed.”
Su Yun’s mind was muddled. What could he have done?
However, he still listened to the sword elder’s explanation.
“As I said earlier, for the swords within the sword sheath, they have a living spirit within. You cannot view every sword as something that is dead! As for the Death Sword, it is exactly the same! It also has a spirit. Not only does it have a powerful spirit, it also developed a underhanded plot to trick you!”
“If you want to conquer it, you will have to rely on brute force! You must use your own power to suppress it! I was pondering a while before. When you entered the sword sheath, as the Death Swords was launching its attack….were you actually planning to use my power?”
“Correct! Test after test, the Death Sword’s genuine strength is not something that I can contend against. Since the sword sheath sealed the strength of the Death Sword, then, I just need some type of method to make it easily enter its own sword sheath. Therefore, if I just used my own strength to contend against it, wouldn’t I have been crushed? From start to finish, I did not even think of utilizing this method. After all, this is just too unrealistic. Furthermore, I needed the Death Sword. If the sword was broken to pieces, I would have needed to wait for it to regenerate. The Engraved Dragon Blade requires about three more months before it can be used again. As for the Death Sword, it will require at least a year of effort! Perhaps it is because it is a Primal Sword, but its recovery time would be much longer! Therefore, I cannot shatter the sword, so I could only wait for it to use up its power. After it went into the sheath, it will not unsheathe, so it means that I will have to conquer it once more!”
Su Yun said.
“You’re thinking is very accurate! However, you must remember, the pressure that you exerted as you forced the sword into the sheath, it is because you borrowed power from me!”
“Su Yun will earnestly remember!”
“The problem is from this!” The sword elder sighed, “I lent you my strength to conquer it, which should have been accomplished from your own strength. The Death Sword does not accept you as its master. Even if you managed to suppress it afterwards, you will still be unable to fully conquer it! This is the reason why you cannot unsheathe the sword!”
“What?” Su Yun was stunned.
A life or death clash only led to this result….
“Before, when you were clashing with the Death Sword, I was always standing on the side simply because of this reason. When you conquer a godsword, I can only give you advice, I cannot intervene. Otherwise, the godsword will not accept it, and it will never yield to your control!”
“Since this happened, did I really just obtain a useless sword?” Su Yun sighed.
“During this entire time, were you only thinking about this? You must understand! Before you ate one of the Death Sword’s wounds, if you could not conquer it, you would have died!”
“But didn’t you say that I did not conquer it?”
“Let me see the Death Sword’s wound that was eroding your body.”
After Su Yun heard, he hastily opened the clothes around his chest and the skin had been already restored to its original appearance. The dark hue had disappeared without a trace. Except for the shallow sword wound, there was nothing.
“Just as expected! What do you say now? It can only be said that you did not completely conquer the sword!”
“The conquering….was not completed?”
“Correct! Indeed, you did expend a great deal of effort, which it does recognize from the sweat, but it will not surrender to you! Temporarily, you will still be unable to use it, but it has a spirit object’s intelligence. Perhaps, as long as you increase your strength, it will have a reason to submit to you, and would then be usable for you!”
“When my power is enough, will I easily manage to conquer it?”
“Yes, but kid, I must give you a warning, for the countless swords within the Limitless Sword Sheath, your power will be accompanied by the growth of the sword’s power also. As you become more powerful, the sword’s power also becomes more powerful. In addition, as you become weaker, the sword’s power also becomes weaker. Don’t think that you are formidable, these swords have even more uses. It would be an idiotic way of thinking.”
Su Yun just nodded as he gazed at the Death Sword. He exhaled and picked it back up. Then he began to sheathe it back.
“Do not sheathe it!”
The sword elder shouted.
Su Yun stiffly stopped his hand, “What?”
“In your sword sheathe, there are thousands of divine swords. If the thousands of divine swords stay in the same place as the Death Sword, I’m afraid to say what the thousands of Divine Swords will do….”
He did not finish, but Su Yun had already understood the meaning.
The Death Sword was a Demonic Sword, but also a Primal Sword….
“Uh….that does make sense…” Su Yun pondered for a moment after he placed the Death Sword on his back and put away his sword sheath.
“The sword will not be easy to conquer, so if you put it back into the sword sheath, you would have been required to conquer it again. It would only be harder, so you should just persevere and wait until you have enough strength in the future!”
“Mhm! I believe that the large sword will come in handy in the future!”
Su Yun just nodded his head and tidied himself before he sat himself back down in a cross-legged position. His sword wound was still not healed yet.
He soothed his heart as he focused on recovering.
Just then, loud bursts of sound were heard from outside his window.
Su Yun was slightly startled as he walked over with his body and opened the windows to look outside.
He was surprised to find that in the streets next to the inn, there was a steady stream of people entering and exiting. It was several times more lively than usual. A large number of disciples with various types of clothes from multiples factions of the school were marching through the streets like a horde towards Purple Star Academy.
The regular weekday merchants were nowhere to be seen, with the exception of the stores that still remained open. On both of the pavilions beside the inn, there was a person. One by one the other windows of the surrounding buildings opened, and everyone popped their heads out. They were gazing down below.
“Hmm?”
Su Yun still could not understand what was happening today? Why was it so busy?
There were cries from young ladies on both sides of the road. The sounds of laughter and conversations attracted Su Yun’s attention.
“Look, look, Wood Sect’s young master is coming!”
“Woah! It really is him! He really is exactly like the rumors, really handsome….”
“Funny little girl, did you consider anything else? In a few moments, he will be entering Purple Star Academy, let’s go and try to have a conversation with him!”
“How would Wood Sect’s young master even look at us? I heard that he was next in line to succeed the patriarch of Mu Sect, a position that was extremely exalted! Noble Soul Stone sect’s are even looked down upon, but us….let’s just forget about it!”
….
After the sounds passed through, Su Yun had heard enough, but after he heard the news of the Wood Sect’s young master, he hurriedly looked at the carriage.
A Purple Horned Beast was pulling the carriage. An elite guard was surrounding the carriage. Painted on the carriage was “Wood” in large golden letters.
