935 Bye

"Yeah. But let's talk about you first. I can see that you have several power-ups, so are you alright?" Alex asked while holding the small crystal in his hand.

"You don't need to worry about me. I might need a few months to get adjusted to this power, but I am sure I can become even stronger. I am wondering what kind of weapon will be my host in the future, and there is probably one more thing I want to ask you."

"Hmm?" Alex frowned. "What is it?"

"It's something simple. Because I will become your Sword Spirit, there is a fusion process needed. And you also need to move the consciousness over to the spear since I will take over the sword."

"Oh." Alex fell silent as he was asking Lin Xingzhi about it.

[There shouldn't be a problem. We can ask Song Tao for that. I can go there and ask him myself while you send her real body through the Inventory.]

'That's great.'

[It will take an hour for the preparation. You should finish your business soon.]

'Alright.' Alex looked at Eve and asked her opinion. "I am going to send you to where my sword is being forged in an hour. What do you think?"

"Sure. The sooner I fuse, the longer the time I can use to make myself comfortable." She smiled. "But where is the sword?"

"It's in another world." Alex smiled. "Still, I want to ask you once more, I believe the moment you fuse with my sword, you can't go anywhere else again like when you are in the form of this crystal, right?"

She looked at her real body in Alex's body and nodded. "I have prepared for it, and since you say it's in another world, I have no more complaints. I want to see everything with my own eyes. That's the only wish I have because of staying here for more than ten thousand years. Besides, I am a Sword Spirit, my purpose is to help my master cut all his enemies. I wonder what kind of thing I can cut in the future."

"Then, we have no problem here. There is a big chance that I will face the strongest being ever known, so prepare yourself." Alex smirked.

"I am looking forward to it."

"There is one more thing I want to know. Since you have noticed my two elements and intents, what other things are you aware of?"

"I am not sure. The intents alone might be my strongest weapon, and from your perspective, I believe I need to handle or even fuse them together, right? I will try to do my best. I think I won't put much thought into exploring the new power before mastering this new body."

"I see." Alex nodded. "By the way, what is this crystal called?"

"It's my Core. The previous master called it a Spirit Core. The only way to gain this form is to create your own core, so I will be helping my two seniors to create their own core."

"Then, it's time to talk about my objective, right?"

"I only have one. I want to see the object that is controlling this killing intent and learn how to control it."

"Control it?"

"Yeah. This killing intent can suppress one's ability, so I want to learn how to do it."

"Oh, that! It's simple. There are more than ten thousand people buried here. If you circulate their blood and killing intent, it will create this thing. If you are doing it alone, I don't know if you will make something similar."

"So, it's impossible for me." Alex frowned, knowing that it wouldn't be possible to create something like this by himself. After all, it required more than ten thousand people to make something like this.

"I guess so. The ten thousand people I am talking about were Martial Saints or God Rank Experts. It made the whole situation even more impossible." She nodded. "Although it will be great if you have something like this, I am afraid you will be swallowed by the malice inside, so I don't really recommend it. I don't want to lose my master again as soon as I follow him."

Alex closed his eyes. He completely understood her.

"Of course, if Master uses the sword behind me instead, you will be able to do it. Albeit, I believe there is an upper limit for this sword. I don't know, but if there is someone twenty times stronger than Master, I think he won't feel anything."

"Twenty times? Well, the strength gained every time a God Rank Expert advance is exponential, so I guess the limit is around Rank 5 God if not Rank 4… It's enough to make you qualify to be one of the top people on this planet, but I guess it's not really beneficial for me in the long run." Alex furrowed his eyebrows.

"I don't really understand what Master was mumbling about, but I guess you have understood the whole concept. Besides, the sword is only circulating the energy around, so it doesn't really produce this type of strength. If in the future there is someone who makes this energy disappear, it won't appear again."

"That's a shame." Alex repeatedly nodded his head.

"I guess that is enough for our conversation."

"Before that, can I try something?" She stopped him.

As soon as Alex nodded, she released her energy and before long, she suddenly produced Sword Qi.

Alex looked at her in amazement, only to find himself shocked by her once again when he saw the Sword Qi turned into Pure Sword Qi.

"So, this is the energy. It's not that different than my whole existence." She sighed.

"Eh?" Alex was confused about her mumbling for a few seconds before using his Spirit Eyes to assess the whole situation. It was at this time he realized that Eve was formed from a Pure Sword Qi. Only because of his elements that she became "Impure."

Other than these two elements, she was a Pure Sword Qi. He then realized that the Dawn Breaker had an abundant Metal Element, so it must be the Sword God's element.

"This is intriguing." Eve fell into deep thought and looked at Alex. "I have noticed there is a difference between my energy and Master's."

"Because you don't have a real body, which is a sword. You can't produce something similar. And do note that the Sword needs to be a Divine Weapon, so it can produce Divine Energy. Let me show you a little bit." Alex opened his seal again and released his Divine Energy.

"This… I have thought that Master's strength is special. It turns out you have been sealing it this whole time. If that is the case, the killing intent will only work on someone five times stronger than you."

"Rank 8 God? No, since my strength can rival a Rank 8 God, the limit must be Rank 7 God. Even so, the sword is so sharp, so I guess it won't need to lower their opponent's strength and just overpower them."

"Yes. Anyway, I will try to have a Divine Weapon as my body first. Maybe, in the future, I can help you create this energy and either store it inside my body or have you absorbed the energy." Eve smiled.

"Yeah, thanks. Is there anything you want?" Alex asked.

"Nope. I just wish to discover many things that I can't see during the past ten thousand years. Will that be too big for a dream?"

"Not really. The future journey will be filled with boredom, so we can go around and see whatever interesting we can find." Alex shook his head.

"Then, that's good. It will be a fun journey ahead." She smirked.

"Yeah. I am looking forward to working with you."

"It should be me saying that. Who knows how long I will be here before someone finds me?" She smirked.

"That's right. I want to see how Master does a few things since we won't meet for a few months until I have integrated with my new body."

"What do you want me to do?"

"The first thing is what you called Pure Sword Qi. I want to see how you produce it and absorb it to your body."

"Sure." Alex sat down and closed his eyes. Not long after that, he produced the Divine Sword Qi and absorbed it into his body.

"I see. The flame is a bit special, no?"

"Yeah. Rather than using the natural force to expel all kinds of impurities in the Spiritual Energy, I am using my flame to burn every single impurity. This way, I only need to expel the fire energy, allowing me to create the Sword Qi faster. Can you control my fire?"

"If I am near you, I can...to a certain extent. But it still requires a certain degree of mastery." She nodded and stretched her hand toward Alex.

Alex suddenly felt that something was calling his flame. He could easily suppress this feeling if he wanted to, but since Eve was about to show it to him, he gave the permission to move his flame.

When it arrived at her hand, it then started circling around her like a baby.

"I can do this with your Space Element as well, but everything requires your permission. Of course, everything is only related to the Sword. How much I can exert will depend on how much energy you channel to the sword and how powerful the sword is…"

"Oh." Alex nodded. "I felt it earlier, so it wouldn't be much of a big deal. As for the strength, I am sure it's one of the finest swords out there."

"Alright then."

"How about this?" Alex suddenly used one of his techniques, Swallowing Heaven. The dragon then went around her, so she could feel it.

"Ah, this is the so-called Martial Art. If I have fused my real body to the sword, I believe I can control the dragon to the point I insert my own consciousness inside it. I am not sure if I can use your strength in this form or not. I mean, even though I can control a bit of your fire, I can't really summon one that is powerful enough to protect you."

"So, you are a kind of a pilot." Alex fell into deep thought. "You can only utilize whatever I use."

"Yes. This dragon seems to be able to turn its body into a scorching sun, but that's all about it. I can't really use it to let out a fire breath or something." She shook her head.

"There is a huge benefit, but I guess, nothing is perfect. It still has a limitation."

"I am sorry."

"No, no. This is not your fault. Not even me can use my power without a consequence, so don't think much about it." Alex shook his head. "How about we move to the second thing? You said you want me to do a few things, right?"

"Yes. The second thing is about your ability to control and fuse all of these into one."

"I usually use a Sword Art for that because I don't know if I can do it. I mean, sure, I can fuse elements, Divine Weapon Qi and Intents. But I can't fuse more than that." He recalled his Sword and Spear Possession and sighed.

"I don't mind. I want to see what you can do with the current situation first. We can improve the situation bit by bit in the future."

Alex nodded and controlled his sword to exert and fuse all the powers, allowing Eve to have a good look.

"It's a bit hard to fuse them together, so I will probably need to take time to fuse them instantly. If I happen to succeed, I am sure you don't need to worry about it anymore because I will be providing you in an instant." She smiled.

"That's good."

"That's all. You have already proven the third thing I wanted to see earlier."

"I see."

"I am going back first then."

"Yeah. See you later."

She nodded and went inside the crystal.
