All of a sudden all the onlookers saw that Ji Yuan had started to move his fingers now and all the hundreds of divine swords were all shaking on the ground now.
Bai Qianfeng was startled, "He is ready to go to the next stage so soon?"
The short old man sighed, "Most of these divine swords are actually demonic in nature. It is very difficult to purge their old sword intentions. Even for me, I can't do it."
Ling Feiyue pondered for a while before she said, "Knowing Ji Yuan, he has probably asked Xiang Li to wipe away the auras from these divine swords and to make them submit to him. But this will also destroy much of the divine sword's attainment and it will affect his chances of creating a Sword Domain."
The short old man was startled, "You mean that beautiful spirit entity that this little rascal got, actually has such an ability? Is it even possible in the first place? Isn't she just a soul entity of his divine sword?"
He had heard Ji Yuan mentioning it to him before.
This was actually half the truth; Ji Yuan had transferred her to his divine swords because he needed to wield his sword spirit and also to preserve Xiang Li's life in case he was killed.
Ling Feiyue smiled weakly, "Actually he has two such spirit entities…"
She was actually referring to Anyang.
Ji Yuan actually rarely showed anyone his Xiang Li or Anyang but all of Ji Yuan's maidens would know about them somehow.
Or rather once Xiang Li acknowledged anyone that was Ji Yuan's new consorts, she would appear to greet them and to befriend them.
Xiang Li had made an appearance to greet the Lovely Empress and Chu Lixue back inside the arena trial while the White Sword Monarch was presented also. At that time she did not know that she was being watched by everyone in the arena.
As for Anyang, she was more shy and rarely appeared.
The Smiling Divine Maiden nodded slowly next to Ling Feiyue as she sighed softly, "The attainment of the divine sword is crucial to create a powerful Sword Domain. The higher it is, the better. If the attainment and memories of the divine sword is wiped out, it is almost useless to be used for creating a Sword Domain…"
Zhi Jiugong said quietly and her countenance was anxious, "I'm more worried that Ji Yuan may absorb too much of the evil malevolent of these swords and may become a Sword Demon instead."
The Lovely Empress looked at the hundreds of shaking divine swords and wondered aloud, "Maybe he is trying to create the Yang Thunder Sword? After all, he is versed in the Yang Invincible Profound Arts."
The short old man laughed jovially, "My future son-in-law is indeed wise."
But he was soon sighing softly, "But it is really quite impossible. First, he has to master my Yang Invincible Profound Arts first. He is 10 000 years too early now. I am such a lax old master. I should have made him into a more hardworking cultivator."
Ling Feiyue muttered incoherent, "Half of Ji Yuan's bad habits like tomb raiding actually comes from you…"
Luckily Ling Feiyue's voice usual voice was really soft and when she was whispering, it was really soft.
However Bai Qianfeng, the Lovely Empress, Zhi Jiugong and the Smiling Divine Maiden could actually hear her and they were flushing slightly; it was because Ji Yuan actually had quite a few typical habits of a young master like bragging, big mouth and he likes his awkward face.
But they were soon watching Ji Yuan as the hundreds of divine swords began to tremble and many were lifting itself from the ground.
This was not a quick process and ten hours later, Ji Yuan had finally displayed a loud shout and his profound shout exploded around the Immortal Sword Array.
Although it may looked like a short period of time as Ji Yuan communicated his sword intentions to the hundreds of divine swords but showing them his life experiences and convincing them actually took him 10 hours.
Everyone could suddenly see that the scabbards of many of the divine swords were suddenly dissembling and were all flying onto Ji Yuan's immortal scabbard!
The Smiling Divine Maiden was startled, "The divine swords didn't fly to Ji Yuan but the scabbards did?"
Even the short old man was startled and he was perplexed, "What the heck is he doing? Is he creating a useless scabbard sword art?"
The Lovely Empress weakly commented, "Maybe the divine swords have rejected him but the scabbards happen to be free of charge so he didn't want to waste this opportunity…"
Everyone: …
All of a sudden all the scabbards around Ji Yuan's immortal scabbard was dissembling into small pieces and they were forming into a big wooden box!
Zhi Jiugong who was anxious for Ji Yuan asked the short old man, "What is Ji Yuan doing?"
The short old man smiled bitterly, "This is too bizarre even for me. Maybe he is trying to make a wooden coffin for himself."
Zhi Jiugong and everyone else: …
All of a sudden nine of the most powerful divine swords in the Immortal Sword Array were suddenly flying into the open box!
The Smiling Divine Maiden was the first to gasp with shock, "Ji Yuan has managed to tame 9 of the most powerful divine swords here?!"
Even the short old man was startled, "Why only 9 swords? This is still not enough to create a powerful Sword Domain…"
"Maybe Ji Yuan can't count more than 10 fingers." The Lovely Empress muttered weakly.
All of a sudden, hundreds of divine swords were uprooting themselves and they were all breaking apart into heavenly relics as the sword energies of their artefact core were pouring into Ji Yuan.
This time the short old man was shouting jovially, "This little rascal is now forming his Sword Domain! The rest of you should watch carefully. This may be helpful for your cultivation in the future."
Ling Feiyue and the Smiling Divine Maiden were both watching in earnest and they were gasping at this superior state of divinity.
Actually Ling Feiyue was an unofficial sword saintess; it was because she had become a sword saintess in the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth and this was her trial reward. However as she did not overcome the life and death experience to become a real sword saintess, she did not feel comfortable to proclaim herself as a sword saintess.
All of a sudden everyone could feel an inertia barrier that was radiating from Ji Yuan and they could hardly move from their current positions.
The short old man laughed jovially, "He has finally succeeded! No matter if this is a weak or strong Sword Domain, he is now a half-step Sword Immortal now. Even for half-step Sword Immortal, there are the 3, 6, 9 grades. You can say that Ji Yuan is the lowest at the 9th grade while I am at the 3rd grade…"
"Or the opposite." The Lovely Empress had interrupted him before she quickly hid behind her Sister Chi Lixue the Smiling Divine Maiden; this old man was too fierce!
All of a sudden the profound animus of the hundreds of divine swords became even fiercer and there was no sight of stopping as they whirled around Ji Yuan in a rotating circle, going faster and faster.
A more powerful profound animus was suddenly formed around Ji Yuan again and this time the profound animus was pushing everyone back!
The short old man was startled, "This little rascal is creating a second Sword Domain?!"
When they had heard him, they were all startled.
