Finally, Chen Tiexin wrapped the hilt of the knife with special silk thread, repeating this process several times. He then selected a piece of wood and carved out the scabbard. The wood nourishes the iron, and the knife, though an ominous weapon, should be kept hidden in ordinary times.

After doing all this, Chen Tiexin let out a long breath, looking as if he had aged several years and no longer had the energy and spirit he had during the day.

Forging swords, especially divine weapons, consumes not the most physical strength, but mental strength.

Even when he was young, after forging a divine weapon, he still needed a long period of recuperation to recover.

"The divine weapon is complete; you can name it!"

"This is my last work in this life; I will never open the furnace again..."

Chen Tiexin handed the knife in his hand to Li Qihou, seemingly speaking to those around him, or perhaps talking to himself.

Sonorous!

Li Qi brandished his sword, drawing it from its sheath. He felt the sword in his hand was both light and heavy, and at the same time, it was connected to him by blood and spirit, truly becoming a part of his own life.

When you have a knife in your hand, it is no longer an inanimate object, but has become a part of your life.

This feeling was something he had never experienced before.

At this moment, the moon in the sky had already revealed its crescent shape, and the moonlight shone down. Under the moonlight, the long sword was pitch black with a hint of blood, and within the blood, there was a touch of blue glow, which made it look extraordinary.

When Li Qi wielded his sword, his mind and will aligned, and he channeled his swordsmanship into the blade. In an instant, the spacious courtyard was filled with flashing swords, roaring tigers, and surging thunder, as if a terrifying ancient beast from a mythical tale was lurking there.

After a dozen or so seconds, the commotion in the courtyard ceased. The long sword was sheathed, and Li Qi resumed his languid posture. However, the intense flashes of the sword were etched into the heart of another young man in the courtyard, an image he could never forget.

"This blade protects me and paves my way forward. I walk the path of a hegemon. This blade shall be the blade of a hegemon!"

Li Qi muttered to himself, but he had already made a decision.

There are many swords in this world named "Overlord Blade," but Li Qi still chose this name. Although the name is old-fashioned, Li Qi knows that if he reaches the top one day, his Overlord Blade will naturally become unique.

His heart was already free of doubt; he knew which path he would take in the future.

At present, the word "dominance" is undoubtedly the one that best suits his mind.

Apart from that, neither the "demon" in Tiger Demon Thirteen Blades nor the "Qian Yuan" in Qian Yuan Heart Sutra are the things that are closest to his true self.

"Very well, the path of seeking the Dao is one I will not regret even if it means dying ten times. Such is my resolve..."

Upon hearing this, Li Changqing silently thought to himself.

"The Overlord Blade and the King's Sword, this is truly..."

Chen Tiexin was also muttering to himself at this moment. In his daze, he seemed to see dragons fighting in the wild, their blood black and yellow.

One king, one tyrant; one sword, one blade—by a twist of fate, their paths crossed, perfectly mirroring his beginning and his end. And as his mind settled, Li Qi felt the blade in his hand become even more intimately connected with him. This wasn't a divine weapon possessing a spirit, but rather his own heart accepting the blade in his hand.

Ordinary people can name their weapons however they like, but for a master, if the name doesn't suit their taste, it will hinder their use. Conversely, if the name matches their heart and they approve of it, it will add to the master's power.

Not only were the others in the room feeling emotional, but Li Qi, holding the knife, also felt a unique mix of emotions.

With a divine weapon in hand, one naturally feels the urge to compete with all the heroes under heaven!

However, he also knew that it was not the right time yet. Although he had ambitions, he still needed to continue to accumulate strength.

The true dragon can transform, hiding and rising at will; now is not the time for it to truly reveal itself.

……

When he got home, it was already past nine o'clock. Li Qi hadn't eaten in the afternoon because he was forging the knife, but with his current physical strength, missing a meal wouldn't be a problem.

Even so, after returning home, he still took some nutritional supplements to replenish his body's energy, rested for an hour, and then started his daily sword practice around 10 o'clock.

When a wooden sword is replaced with a famous sword, not only does the feeling of using the sword change, but the experience of practicing with it is also different.

Every move, every breath, every movement, every energy flow, every mental reflection—all underwent subtle changes, becoming more harmonious and smoother. It was as if a person had suddenly opened up their Ren and Du meridians, or as if the original prosthetic limb had become a living limb. Even if the original prosthetic limb used high technology and its daily movements were not much different from the real one, a fake is still a fake, and a real is still a real; there is always a layer between them.

Now, that last barrier has disappeared.

boom!
As the sword's momentum unfolded, its light flickered, and the sword moved with his will. At this moment, Li Qi had not only achieved a unity of mind and body, but the sword had also truly become a part of his body. His mind and will were unobstructed and perfectly integrated.

hum!
Suddenly, with a single slash, Li Qi's body seemed to teleport from one corner of the quiet room to another. After that, the blade continued to meander and swirl, and Li Qi's figure had long since become blurred. All that could be seen was the blade slashing at high speed.

This quiet room is only 6 by 6 square meters, not very big. Logically speaking, it would be fine to stand still and practice swordsmanship, but such a large movement should not be possible. However, Li Qi is making a temple in a snail shell. Even though it is a small space, it feels vast and boundless, and he can move his long sword without any hindrance.

After Li Qi finished his first round of practice, his swordsmanship proficiency had reached a staggering 112 points. A famous sword could actually boost one's cultivation. Although the amount was small, only a few percent, it would still add up to a considerable number over time.

It's no wonder that precious iron is so hard to find.

Because famous swords are all custom-made, if they don't fit the weapon, they may be better than ordinary weapons, but they will never have the miraculous power they possess.

And this is only the beginning of the forging of the famous sword. As Li Qi continues to refine it with his spirit and mind, and temper it with his life magnetic field, the sword's enhancement to him will gradually increase. While it is not unlimited and has an upper limit, it is still quite miraculous.

After resting and washing up, Li Qi even slept with the knife in his arms. He now slept at an extremely high quality, lying still with the knife on his chest, holding it with both hands. With his heartbeat and breathing, the knife seemed to be beating and breathing as well.

Unconsciously, Li Qi's spirit nourished the sword, and the sword, in turn, honed his spirit, promoting and growing together—something the original wooden sword could never achieve.

Furthermore, with this change, Li Qi's sleep quality also improved significantly, with his sleep index reaching its peak. During this ultra-deep sleep, Li Qi's body cells entered a state of hyperactivity, undergoing subtle optimization.

In this situation, it's truly as if you're getting stronger even while you're sleeping!
