In the night sky of the Eastern Wilderness, stars were scattered like a chessboard. Nangong Wan led his disciples to the entrance of the newly discovered Sword Tomb. This hidden cave was concealed deep in a desolate Gobi Desert, and ancient star charts were carved at the entrance, echoing the stars in the sky.

“Strange.” Nangong Wan stroked the patterns on the edge of the cave entrance. “These star formations are extremely similar to the ‘Zhou Tian Xing Dou Zhen’ recorded in the ‘Sword Soul Scripture’.”

Suddenly, a disciple exclaimed, "Senior Sister, look!" He pointed to the depths of the cave, where a streak of azure sword light streaked through the darkness like a shooting star—it was the sword spirit of the Azure Frost Sword.

The Azure Frost Sword led the group deeper into the cave, and the star charts on the walls gradually glowed faintly as they progressed. Nangong Wan noticed that these star charts were not static, but rather moved slowly like living things, as if telling some ancient secret.

"Watch your step!" came a disciple's warning from ahead. Suddenly, a huge star-shaped pit appeared in the center of the cave. At the bottom of the pit, an ancient sword could be vaguely seen floating in the starry sky. The sword blade was flowing with silver-white light, and a sparkling star gem was inlaid at the hilt.

"This is... the Star Sword!" Nangong Wan stared in shock at the ancient sword at the bottom of the pit. "The legendary sword of an ancient sword immortal!"

Just then, the star map suddenly flickered violently, and the entire cave began to shake. The Azure Frost Sword emitted a rapid hum, and all the patterns on its blade lit up, forming a protective barrier in front of everyone.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, countless rocks rained down from the cave ceiling, and a dark figure descended from the sky—it was a remnant of the Blood Fiend Sect! The burly man, holding a blood-red magical artifact, grinned maliciously: "Thanks for leading the way, little girl! I'll take this Star Sword!"

Nangong Wan quickly formed a battle formation: "Disciples, deploy the 'Zhou Tian Xing Dou Formation'!"

Seven disciples quickly took their positions, their longswords pointing to the sky, the sword light weaving into a net like shooting stars. However, the Blood Fiend Sect remnant's strength far exceeded expectations; he suddenly crushed the blood-red magic weapon, and a pillar of blood-red light shot straight towards the Star Sword!

"Qiang!"

The Azure Frost Sword was instantly drawn, colliding head-on with the crimson pillar of light. The violent shockwave sent everyone flying, and Nangong Wan regained his footing in mid-air, discovering that a tiny crack had appeared on the Azure Frost Sword!

"Shaoping's sword spirit!" she exclaimed.

A phantom figure materialized on the sword, and Fu Shaoping's voice was more solemn than ever before: "Wanmei, this Star Sword... is strange!"

The remnants of the Blood Fiend Sect approached with maniacal laughter: "Ignorant little girl, this Star Sword seals the star core of the Demon Clan! Today, we'll show you!"

Before he could finish speaking, the Star Sword suddenly emitted a blinding silver light, and a sword aura pierced straight through the burly man's chest! Even more shockingly, the burly man's body began to crystallize rapidly, eventually turning into a crystal-clear ice sculpture!

"This is... This is..." Nangong Wan stared at the scene in shock.

The illusory figure on the Azure Frost Sword explained, "The Star Sword seals the sword intent of an ancient sword immortal; it can slay demons and purify all evil." He pointed to the Star Sword at the bottom of the pit, "Now, it's time to subdue it."

Nangong Wan took a deep breath and slowly walked towards the Star Sword. As she approached, the silver light on the sword became increasingly dazzling, as if testing her resolve.

"Senior Sister, be careful!" the disciples shouted anxiously.

Just as Nangong Wan was about to touch the Star Sword, the top of the cave suddenly cracked open, and a dark figure wrapped in powerful demonic energy swooped down—it was another elder of the Blood Fiend Sect!
"Hand over the Star Sword!" The elder grinned maliciously as he slashed down with his demonic blade.

At the critical moment, the Azure Frost Sword suddenly broke free from Nangong Wan's control, transforming into a streak of light to meet the Demon Blade. The instant the two swords collided, all the cracks on the Azure Frost Sword instantly healed, instead unleashing an even more powerful sword aura!
"This is...Sword Soul Evolution?" Nangong Wan looked at this scene in surprise.

Fu Shaoping's voice echoed in her mind: "The sword intent of the Starry Sky Sword has awakened the dormant power of the Azure Frost Sword!"

As if sensing something, the Star Sword suddenly took flight on its own, intertwining with the Azure Frost Sword in mid-air to create a dazzling sword light. The light from the two swords merged into one, transforming into a rainbow that pierced through the heavens and earth, completely purifying the Blood Fiend Sect elder!
"No!!!" The elder screamed as his body exploded like a broken doll.

The cave returned to calm, and the Star Sword slowly landed in Nangong Wan's hand. The silver light on the sword gradually faded, replaced by a pattern extremely similar to that of the Azure Frost Sword—the mark of the fusion of sword souls.

"Congratulations, Senior Sister, on subduing the Star Sword!" the seven disciples congratulated in unison.

Nangong Wan stroked the Starry Sky Sword, feeling the wondrous resonance between the two swords: "This is a gift Shaoping left us." She looked up at the newly appeared star map on the cave ceiling, "It seems our path of swordsmanship has only just begun."

As they left the Sword Tomb, the eastern sky was already tinged with the first light of dawn. The Azure Frost Sword and the Starry Sky Sword shone brightly, their eternal light gleaming in the morning glow. Nangong Wan knew that these two swords would guide the Xuantian Sect towards an even more glorious future.
The strange events at the Star Sword Tomb shocked the entire cultivation world. A month later, the gates of the Xuan Tian Sect were bustling with activity, as envoys from various sects arrived in droves. Nangong Wan stood atop the Sword Peak, gazing at the throng of people below, his twin swords, Qing Shuang and Xing Chen, gleaming brilliantly in the sunlight.

"Senior Sister, all the major sects have come to offer their congratulations," a disciple rushed in to report. "Even the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion, who usually stays in seclusion, has come in person to offer his congratulations."

Nangong Wan nodded slightly. Since the news of the subjugation of the Star Sword spread, the Xuantian Sect's reputation has soared. Even more exciting is that nearly a hundred disciples, guided by the "Sword Soul Scripture," have successfully activated sword energy, ushering in an unprecedented golden age of sword cultivation in the cultivation world.

"Master has arrived." The disciple's words had barely faded when a figure in azure robes arrived on a sword. Nangong Xuan's hair and beard were completely white, but his gaze remained as sharp as a sword. He landed on the mountaintop, his gaze sweeping over the crowd: "You must not fail to honor Shao Ping's sword spirit inheritance."

Nangong Wan bowed deeply and said, "This disciple will remember Master's teachings."

Just then, the Azure Frost Sword suddenly emitted a clear, melodious hum. The patterns on the sword moved as if alive, outlining a star map in the air. Nangong Wan was surprised to find that this star map was exactly the same as the constellations in the Star Sword Tomb, only more complete and clearer.

“This is…” Nangong Xuan’s pupils suddenly contracted.

The illusory image on the Azure Frost Sword solidified, and Fu Shaoping's voice rang out: "Master, this is the complete 'Zhou Tian Xing Chen Sword Formation,' which can mobilize the sword energy of heaven and earth."

Before he could finish speaking, a deafening roar suddenly echoed from afar. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a massive rift open in the sky, from which dark demonic energy surged forth like a tidal wave! A figure clad in black robes descended from the sky—it was none other than the long-lost Blood Fiend Sect Master!
"Hahaha!" The Demon Lord laughed wildly, "Didn't expect that, did you? I was already reborn in the Demon Realm!"

Nangong Xuan's expression turned grave: "This is bad! He actually used the Demon Realm portal to be reborn!"

The Blood Fiend Sect Master grinned maliciously, raising a crimson magic weapon: "Today, I will annihilate the Xuan Tian Sect!" The weapon erupted with a blinding red light, and a massive crimson magic array unfolded in the air. At the critical moment, the Azure Frost Sword and the Starry Sky Sword were simultaneously drawn. The two swords intertwined in the air, creating a dazzling sword light that instantly transformed into a rain of swords! Wherever the rain of swords passed, the crimson magic array was torn apart like paper!
"This...this is..." The Blood Fiend Sect Master was shocked and retreated.

Fu Shaoping's illusory image coalesced on the sword: "Master, this is the 'Starry Sky Sword Formation' we created using the 'Sword Soul Scripture'!"

Nangong Xuan understood and quickly formed a hand seal: "Xuantian Sword Formation, activate!" Hundreds of sword lights immediately rose from the mountain peak, echoing the Qing Shuang and Xing Chen swords.

The Blood Fiend Sect Master laughed maniacally: "With this?!" He suddenly ripped open his robes, revealing a pulsating crimson heart. "My true power has only just begun!"

Just as the battle reached its most intense moment, a clear and melodious sword cry suddenly echoed from the sky. Everyone looked up and saw a silver-white sword light slicing through the air, heading straight for the Blood Fiend Sect Master's throat!
"Qiang!"

Amidst the clang of metal on metal, the Blood Fiend Sect Master was forced back several feet. To everyone's astonishment, the sword light in the sky transformed into a long, pure silver sword, its blade engraved with star patterns—the very form of the Star Sword!
Fu Shaoping's voice echoed in everyone's minds: "This is the sword spirit of the Star Sword! It has finally awakened!"

The Starry Sky Sword Spirit and the Azure Frost Sword Soul combined their powers, unleashing a devastating sword aura. The Blood Fiend Sect Master let out a final, unwilling roar before being completely purified by the sword aura!
With the Demon Lord's fall, the demonic energy that shrouded the sky rapidly dissipated. The Azure Frost Sword and the Starry Sky Sword simultaneously emitted a clear, resonant cry, the patterns on their blades shimmering with the light of victory.

On this day, the Xuantian Sect was officially renamed the "Star Sword Sect." Nangong Wan took over as sect leader and carried forward the "Sword Soul Scripture." The Azure Frost Sword and the Star Sword were enshrined at the summit of Sword Peak, becoming the sect's most treasured artifacts.

Every nightfall, two beams of sword light would pierce the sky, weaving together to form a magnificent star map across the heavens. The cultivation world said that it was Fu Shaoping's sword spirit protecting this land.
The morning bell of the Starry Sky Sword Sect rang through the sky. Nangong Wan stood atop Sword Peak, gazing at the sword cultivator disciples arranged neatly like a chessboard at the foot of the mountain. Ten years had passed, and the seven disciples from back then had all become independent sword cultivators, each taking on disciples and passing on their skills, carrying forward the "Sword Soul Scripture."

"Sect Leader, the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion has sent an invitation." A disciple respectfully handed over a jade slip.

Nangong Wan unfolded the jade slip and nodded slightly: "Understood." She turned to look at the Azure Frost Sword and the Starry Sky Sword beside her, both swords gleaming with a warm luster in the morning light. Over the past ten years, she had often felt the sword spirits tremble slightly, as if they were telling her something.

On this day, the Star Sword Sect welcomed a special guest—Lin Qingyu, the young master of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion. This young swordsman held a completely transparent spiritual sword, its blade shimmering with starlight, bearing a striking resemblance to the Star Sword.

"I have long admired the Starry Sky Sword Sect, and seeing it today, I can confirm that its reputation is well-deserved." Lin Qingyu bowed respectfully, but his gaze remained fixed on the Starry Sky Sword.

Nangong Wan keenly sensed the fervor in the other's eyes: "Young Master, what brings you here from afar?"

Lin Qingyu took a deep breath: "To be honest, my master once said that the Star Sword and the Heavenly Sword Pavilion's treasured sword, the 'Sky Dome Sword,' were originally one. Now that the Star Sword has reappeared in the world, the Sky Dome Sword is incomplete."

Before the words were even finished, a clear and melodious sword cry suddenly echoed from the sky. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a silver-white sword light slicing through the sky, heading straight for the Star Sword Sect! As the sword light dissipated, an elderly man with white hair stood riding a sword – none other than the long-lost Master of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion!
"Sect Master!" Lin Qingyu exclaimed with a mixture of surprise and delight.

The old sect leader stared intently at the Star Sword: "It's here after all!" He trembled as he pulled a broken piece of the sword from his robes. "Only the Star Sword can complete the missing part of the Celestial Sword!"

Nangong Wan frowned slightly: "What do you mean by that, Pavilion Master?"

The old sect leader sighed, "A hundred years ago, the Heavenly Sword broke unexpectedly. Our ancestor left a prophecy that only when the Star Sword reappears could the Heavenly Sword be reforged. Today, I see that the prophecy has come true."

Just then, the Star Sword suddenly emitted a dazzling silver light, and the patterns on its blade moved as if alive, perfectly matching the broken edge of the Sky Sword! The two swords attracted each other, emitting a clear and melodious resonance.

"This..." Nan Gongwan stared at the scene in shock.

Fu Shaoping's illusory image coalesced on the sword: "Master, this is the call of the sword spirit."

The old sect leader's hands trembled with excitement: "It seems there is a divine will at play! If the Heavenly Vault Sword can be reforged, it will surely benefit all sword cultivators under heaven!"

Nangong Wan pondered for a moment: "Sect Master, this matter is of great importance. Please allow me to consider it."

Before the words were even finished, the sword peak suddenly trembled violently. The Azure Frost Sword emitted a rapid hum, and all the patterns on its blade lit up, forming a protective barrier. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a crack appear in the sky, from which pitch-black demonic energy surged forth!
"Not good!" Nangong Wan shouted sharply, "Remnants of the Demon Clan!"

Dozens of black-robed demonic cultivators descended from the sky, led by a remnant of the Blood Fiend Sect—a ferocious-looking old man. He grinned maliciously, raising a blood-red magical artifact: "Today, let the Star Sword Sect be annihilated!"

The Azure Frost Sword was instantly drawn, its light intertwining with the Starry Sky Sword, creating a dazzling sword light in the air. The light from the two swords merged into one, transforming into a rainbow that pierced through the heavens and earth, instantly shattering the demonic cultivator's formation!
"Shao Ping's sword spirit!" Nangong Wan was pleasantly surprised to find that the power of the sword spirit was more condensed and stronger than it had been ten years ago.

Fu Shaoping's voice echoed in her mind: "Master, this is a change brought about by the Star Sword."

The old pavilion master's expression suddenly changed: "Not good! They want to seize the Heavenly Sword!" He quickly formed a hand seal, "Heavenly Sword Pavilion's protective formation, activate!"

However, it was too late. The elder of the Blood Fiend Sect suddenly crushed the blood-red magic weapon, and a beam of blood-red light shot straight towards the broken edge of the Sky Dome Sword! At the critical moment, the Azure Frost Sword suddenly broke free from Nangong Wan's control, transforming into a stream of light to meet the blood-red light!
"Qiang!"

Amidst the clang of metal on metal, all the cracks on the Azure Frost Sword healed, and instead, it unleashed an even more powerful sword aura! The blood light was completely purified, and the demonic cultivators screamed as they turned to ashes.

"This...this is..." The old pavilion master stared at the scene in shock.

The illusory image on the Azure Frost Sword solidified: "Master, the Star Sword and the Celestial Sword were originally one, and now their sword spirits resonate, making them even more powerful than before!"

Nangong Wan said thoughtfully, "It seems it's time to reforge the Heavenly Dome Sword."

That night, the Star Sword Sect held a grand sword-worship ceremony. Under the witness of a sky full of stars, the light of the Azure Frost Sword and the Star Sword intertwined, slowly flowing into the broken edge of the Celestial Sword. With a clear, resonant sword cry, the Celestial Sword was finally reforged!

The three swords shone brightly, outlining a magnificent star map in the night sky. The cultivation world said this was a manifestation of an ancient sword immortal, foreshadowing the arrival of a golden age for sword cultivators. (End of Chapter)
