Xin Yun had a reason for carrying all four Treasure Swords on his person: three days ago, he had originally planned to take only one, the Executing Immortal Sword. However, over the past three days, after receiving the insights from the Four Great Sword Souls, Xin Yun had come to understand that while using the swords separately did not reduce their power, the energy consumption was particularly immense.
If one used a single sword, a vast amount of energy was required to sustain it. But with all four swords together, once one sword was wielded, the other three would automatically cycle through earth, water, fire, and wind to replenish energy; Xin Yun only needed to provide a trace of energy for guidance.
When the four swords were combined, they formed a complete cycle of earth, water, fire, and wind. If the energy of one sword was depleted, the other three would automatically draw from the natural elements of the world to supplement the cycle, creating an unending and inexhaustible flow. Even if the heavens and earth were to be destroyed and all reverted to chaos, this would remain unchanged. Innate Spiritual Treasures were born from chaos; that was their homeland.
As the four swords came together, a brilliant aura appeared around Xin Yun's body comprising green for earth, blue for water, red for fire, and yellow for wind. These colors mingled to form a halo faintly visible as a concentration of red, yellow, blue, and green light.
With a satisfied smile, Xin Yun knew that this was the new ability of the Zhu Xian Four Swords after being repaired to two-tenths of its capacity — Sword Qi. This so-called Sword Qi was actually a protective sword shield, but due to the nature of the Zhu Xian Four Swords, this shield was offensive, formed from condensed sword energy, and immensely powerful.
In comparison, the Taiji Shield offered flexible defense, while the Chaos Bell provided rigid defense, both inherently defensive. However, this Sword Qi was capable of being both rigid and flexible, a sword shield with offensive capabilities that merged the characteristics of earth, water, fire, and wind.

In a moment of thought, Xin Yun concealed the Sword Qi; it was too conspicuous and better hidden unless necessary, otherwise he would become the center of attention wherever he went.
Flicking his azure robe, Xin Yun calmly pushed open the door of the secret chamber, and the next moment... thousands of rays of sunlight entered from outside, illuminating the faces of Yi Luo Xiang, Yan Qingying, and Ming Xuan, who eagerly awaited him.
Upon seeing Xin Yun, the three were overjoyed and were about to greet him when they suddenly halted, staring at him in dismay. What... what had happened?
It had only been three days since they last saw him, but Xin Yun was completely changed now, his face clear and his body emitting a faint but sharp presence, as if one would be cut just by approaching him.
Sharp! Keen! Like an unsheathed Treasure Sword, his presence made people wary of coming close, let alone touching it. His terrifying sharpness seemed capable of cutting everything into pieces.
"Danger! Extreme danger!" That was the immediate feeling Xin Yun gave everyone. Looking at the calm Xin Yun standing there, everyone had the strange feeling that with just a casual raise of his hand, he could sharply cut through all obstacles, and with just a flash in his eyes, he could pierce through anything. His piercing gaze made people instinctively want to keep their distance, and they didn't dare meet his eyes. It felt as if his gaze could penetrate their eyes and brain, puncturing through to their souls. It was truly indescribable.
"Sss..." For a moment, all three simultaneously drew a sharp breath. They couldn't comprehend what had happened in the past three days for Xin Yun to have changed so drastically. His appearance may have remained the same, but his entire aura was as if he'd become a different person — dangerously sharp!
"Buzz..." At that moment, a bee flew in from the sea of flowers outside the window, buzzing around before heading towards the group and flying towards Xin Yun's head.
Seeing this, Xin Yun slightly furrowed his brows, and the next moment... with an unperceivable movement, an invisible and intangible Sword Qi flashed by, instantly silencing the buzzing. The bee was cleaved in midair into two halves, and because the Sword Qi was so sharp, it didn't fall but remained suspended.
Then, under the astonished gaze of the onlookers, several Sword Qis crisscrossed cutting the bee's carcass into countless pieces.
Two, four, eight, sixteen, thirty-two... In just about a second, the bee was sliced into countless pieces, turning into a cloud of dust that dispersed with the wind...
"Sss..." Witnessing this, Yi Luo Xiang and the others couldn't help but gasp in shock. This... this was terrifying! What exactly was this? So incredibly sharp!
Looking at their horrified faces, Xin Yun smiled slightly. Yes... this was his protective Sword Qi. Once something approached a certain distance, the Sword Qi would automatically activate, and countless Sword Qis would slice everything into powder.

However, the Sword Qi could not reach far, only radiating about a meter around Xin Yun. Beyond this area, the Sword Qi was ineffective. When mastered to the extreme, it was like shooting out thousands of Sword Qis from the body. Anything entering the range would suffer the cutting of countless Sword Qis and hardly escape untouched.
