Chapter 898: Chapter 398: Sword Immortal
"Over there!"
In the midst of contemplation, the elder brother’s eyes suddenly brightened, fixating on the Silver Light Iron Sword clenched in Xu Ran’s hand.
Dark red mist lingered in the air, with traces of dark red reflecting on the Silver Light Iron Sword, lending it a hint of malevolence!
However, beneath this malevolence lay a touch of righteousness, the purest of wills!
Upon hearing the elder brother’s words, the junior brother and junior sister turned their gaze towards the Silver Light Iron Sword in Xu Ran’s grasp.
"Elder brother, are you certain?"
The junior sister asked incredulously.
She had lost count of how many times she had questioned the elder brother, a situation never previously encountered, with doubt only arising since Xu Ran’s arrival!
Though the junior brother appeared tall and burly, as if simple-minded, in truth, even the dullest individual becomes astute over the ages.
Moreover, someone like the junior brother, with such cultivation, couldn’t possibly be foolish?!
As the elder brother’s gaze fell upon the Silver Light Iron Sword in Xu Ran’s hand, his mind began to ponder, envisioning scenes of the Sword Immortal—images flashed and passed through his thoughts.
Now in Xu Ran’s grasp, the Silver Light Iron Sword was the Sword Immortal’s chosen blade when he first embarked on learning the Sword Dao.
During the cultivation of the Sword Dao, the Silver Light Iron Sword, the initial practicing sword, remained by his side.
Only when the Innate Sword emerged, he learned the "Immortal Sword Skill," and only then did the Silver Light Iron Sword disappear.
In other words, the Silver Light Iron Sword held by Xu Ran followed the Sword Immortal through most of his years!
Throughout such lengthy years, the Silver Light Iron Sword absorbed nearly all of the Sword Intent the Sword Immortal had cultivated in his journey of learning the Sword Dao!
Even if just an ordinary Silver Light Iron Sword, it contains the Sword Immortal’s purest Sword Intent!
"This Silver Light Iron Sword, being the earliest companion of the Sword Immortal, has witnessed countless epochs; even just an ordinary Iron Sword during such a long span, accompanied by the Sword Immortal, has transformed into a Divine Soldier!"
"Possibly, it has even developed consciousness!"
The junior brother began to speculate.
Among the three, he was the one who had closely interacted with the Sword Immortal, even if the elder brother had seen parts of the Sword Immortal’s information in the library, none could rival the junior brother’s profound knowledge.
"Furthermore, the Sword Immortal, ever since beginning the study of the Sword Dao, has kept it by his side for a reason!"
With those words, the junior brother bowed his head, rubbing his chin with his right hand, and started pondering.
"Could the appearance of the Silver Light Iron Sword in the Nine-Layered Giant Tower’s trial have been arranged by the Sword Immortal from the beginning?"
A moment later, the junior brother began to speculate broadly.
In the prior conjecture, the Sword Immortal, five attribute kings, Celestial Secret Wanderer, ...., even the Human Emperor Bell, could be involved in the creation of the Nine-Layered Giant Tower.
Perhaps even, traces of the Heavenly Dao might be present within.
Therefore, the idea that the Sword Immortal placed the Silver Light Iron Sword into the Nine-Layered Giant Tower was plausible!
Hearing this, the junior sister agreed with the junior brother’s speculation.
"I think so too!"
Though the junior sister rarely perused ancient texts and lacked deep understanding of documented events, nor did she experience Ancient Times as the junior brother had.
Still, having cultivated to such heights, becoming the junior sister among the three in the Nine-Layered Giant Tower, her mind was certainly sharp.
With just a hint of information, she could reconstruct most of the fact!
Spiritual Power is critical to enhancing thought!
Her agreement with the junior brother was not merely words but a product of thorough contemplation!
Everything appearing in the Nine-Layered Giant Tower was too coincidental, as though inherently meant for Xu Ran!
"No, wait!"
The junior brother, hearing the junior sister’s agreement, initially intended to continue pondering further possibilities.
But suddenly, the elder brother’s icy voice interrupted his thoughts.
Being the elder brother after all, despite not having experienced as much as him, his knowledge was undoubtedly vast.
"This isn’t sensible!"
Rather than immediately providing answers, the elder brother began explaining slowly.
"I agree with the speculation that the Sword Immortal placed the Silver Light Iron Sword into the Nine-Layered Giant Tower, largely aligning with the factual truth!"
"Yet, if it’s said the Sword Immortal kept the Silver Light Iron Sword by his side for the Nine-Layered Giant Tower, I disagree with that!"
Upon hearing this, the junior brother paused momentarily, nodding in agreement with the elder brother’s statement.
"Indeed!"
"It wouldn’t make sense for the Sword Immortal to start tempering the Silver Light Iron Sword from youth just for the Nine-Layered Giant Tower!"
Seeing the junior brother also agree, the elder brother continued.
"Thus, this Silver Light Iron Sword is the method to clear the trial!"
"Now within the Dueling Arena, the Human Bone Rusty Sword is tainted by the Nether Abyss’s aura, even if these Human Bone Rusty Swords are composed of the Sword Immortal’s Sword Intent."
"But...they lack purity!"
Taking a deep breath, the elder brother continued.
"On the Dueling Arena now, the purest Sword Intent, though weak, resides solely on the Silver Light Iron Sword held by Xu Ran!"
"This is also the only method left by the Sword Immortal for clearing the trial!"
Even though.
The Silver Light Iron Sword was used by the Sword Immortal, the first practiced sword, neither a Divine Soldier nor crafted from extraordinary materials into a Supreme Divine Sword.
The Silver Light Iron Sword is simply a most ordinary Iron Sword forged from common Profound Iron, so ordinary that even a farmer could afford it.
