I saved the entire sect by playing idly by letting things fall apart.

"Hey, hey, hey, why is this sword hitting people?!" Chu Xingzhi's voice turned cold as he looked at the black staff that was flying everywhere.

He took a liking to Cun Xue, but the black stick actually chased after Cun Xue and hit her. Chu Xingzhi flew up, touched the Xuan Sword at his waist, and tried to knock Bujian Jun down.

Ye Qiao, who had been watching the show, suddenly became indignant.

Although my sword is domineering and likes to fight other swords, my sword is cute!

Why did you hit her sword?

Ye Qiao stomped hard on the ground. Using the momentum, she jumped into the air and, seizing the opportunity, stomped Chu Xingzhi down.

Chu Xingzhi kicked her in the upper jaw without hesitation. While the two were fighting fiercely, Ye Qinghan had already gone to find her sword not far away.

Ye Qinghan lowered his eyes to look at the motionless Duan Shui Sword not far away. It was a light blue long sword that exuded a chilling aura.

This sword awaits only the destined one.

Unlike those swords that fawned over them like lapdogs, Ye Qiao and his arrival did not stir any ripples in Duan Shui. Ye Qinghan thought it would take some effort to draw the sword, but as soon as the boy exerted a little force, Duan Shui seemed to have been waiting for him. The spirit sword was drawn in an instant, and frost covered the ground.

The sword energy that permeated the entire sword cave sent a chill through the air.

Ye Qiao touched her arm, turned her head to look elsewhere, and blocked Chu Xingzhi's attack with one hand. "Let's call a truce. The Broken Water Sword was just pulled out."

Chu Xingzhi snorted and stood up despite the shoe print on his face. "My senior brother is the most powerful."

……

The elders waiting outside exchanged glances upon hearing the commotion.

"The aura just now resembled that of Duan Shui." It was clear from the outside that the aura in the entire Sword Cave was extremely chaotic, and just now, several spirit swords had recognized their masters in succession.

Is it really that fast on the first day?

"The water supply has been cut off and the water has been recognized as its master."

"Not only that, Cun Xue has also recognized a master, and the aura it exudes resembles Chu Xingzhi's sword energy."

"Speaking of which, which of these swords is the most powerful?"

Swords that can be named include "Severing Water and Snow" and "A Fleeting Glimpse of a Beauty".

The Grand Elder of the Sword Inquiry Sect stroked his beard, smiled without saying a word. How could he know who was more powerful? But when it came to mystery, the Broken Water Sword was the one.

No one has been able to pull it out for a century.

It's highly likely that Qinghan took it; this disciple really makes him proud.

The elder of Chengfeng Sect murmured, "Interesting." So many spirit swords have collectively recognized a master; no wonder it's the Sword Inquiry Sect.

……

After Ye Qinghan drew his sword, he found that Ye Qiao's two swords were still fighting. He had fought with Ye Qiao before. The stick that the other party used was very strange and was definitely not an ordinary spiritual sword, but the white sword could actually fight back and forth.

Chu Xingzhi held Cun Xue in his arms, feeling envious and jealous: "Your sword has quite a strong possessive streak."

But the swords inside all developed sentience.

Swords like Cunxue, Jinghong, Lueying, and Hanshuang are all famous swords.

A group of swords flew out, all picking and choosing, searching for a suitable master. This white sword, it seems, is called the Flying Immortal Sword? I've never heard of it before.

The two spirit swords clashed, testing which was stronger. Ye Qiao took a moment to examine the white sword. Unlike the "Unseen Lord" sword, it was a completely spirit sword with a formidable aura, as nimble and ever-changing as a slender willow branch.

It is stronger than "I Don't See You" (不见君), where "stronger" refers to the sword energy, since "I Don't See You" cannot be considered a pure sword.

Ye Qiao was somewhat tempted. There was nothing wrong with her contract; Xiao Qi had been forcibly contracted by her back then, and a sword doesn't choose two masters. But wasn't this sword being delivered to her doorstep on its own?

Seeing Ye Qiao's thoughtful expression, Ye Qinghan said calmly, "You want to form a contract with it?"

Ye Qiao didn't speak.

Ye Qinghan then said, "Its aura is very weak. I advise you to think it over carefully." Some swords are unwanted precisely because they are too weak. The name Flying Immortal Sword is quite famous. If Duanshui has been undrawn for several years, then Flying Immortal Sword has almost been forgotten.

"This sword has a very weak aura. It is an extremely powerful sword. Someone once used it to become the number one swordsman, and since then it has been known as the number one swordsman on the Spirit Sword Ranking. Many sword cultivators come here because of its reputation."

"Later, those who were fortunate enough to obtain the Flying Immortal Sword discovered that this sword was very strange; it was strong in some areas and weak in others."

It is very unstable.

Once you've made a contract with a sword, it's basically a lifelong commitment. Nobody wants to gamble their future swordsmanship on a single sword, so this Flying Immortal Sword is rarely heard of.

When Ye Qinghan arrived, his master had reminded him that after entering the Sword Cave, he should head straight for Duanshui. He was worried that the other party might be too weak-willed and be blinded by the variety of swords. There were swords stronger than Duanshui, but Duanshui was definitely the most suitable for him.

When choosing a sword, one should choose the one that best suits oneself; greed is a major taboo, and this is a principle his master taught him.

Upon hearing this, Ye Qiao sincerely thanked him.

It's a sword that gets stronger when faced with a strong opponent, quite rebellious, isn't it?

If Ye Qinghan said that, she immediately became interested in it. Ye Qinghan also realized that Ye Qiao's brain circuits were beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. After he finished speaking, she could clearly feel Ye Qiao's eagerness to try.

Ye Qinghan took a deep breath.

I just feel so tired. Did he just talk for nothing after all that?

Zhou Xingyun, you've had a tough time. Really. No wonder she often seems so hopeless. If he had a junior sister with this kind of eager, reckless spirit, he'd be exhausted too.

The Flying Immortal Sword and the Unseen Lord were locked in a stalemate, each sword more ferocious than the last. The Flying Immortal Sword, smug and confident in its superior sword energy, relentlessly attacked the Unseen Lord.

It wasn't that Jun was in a good mood; the sounds of the swords clashing and the rumbling created violent fluctuations. Since entering the sword cave, Duosun had become much more lively. Before, it only made slight noises, but now it could fight with a group of swords.

The elders of the Sword Inquiry Sect, who were waiting for news, seemed to have noticed something. The commotion inside the Sword Cave was too great. First, many swords were in chaos, and then there were the auras of Duan Shui and Cun Xue recognizing their masters.

He frowned and looked into the distance: "That aura..."

It has the aura of a spiritual sword taking form.

"Has the Water-Severing Sword materialized?"

"It doesn't seem like the Water Cutoff." Water Cutoff is associated with ice, so there's no reason for it to have this strange aura.

"To be precise, that aura didn't seem to belong to Duan Shui."

Ye Qinghan is highly skilled and possesses innate sword bones, making her exceptionally compatible with Duan Shui. If it were Duan Shui, they wouldn't be surprised. Since it's not Duan Shui, could it be Chao Xi Sword? But Chao Xi Sword has been hidden within the sword ever since it appeared the moment it materialized.

However, if the spiritual energy in the Sword Cave is dense enough, it is not impossible to take human form.

The Grand Elder shook his head. "It's not something that happens overnight. Besides that, there's another way."

Another one?

Meanwhile, inside the sword cave, Ye Qiao prepared to forcibly separate the two spirit swords that were locked in a fierce battle.

Two disciples of the Sword Inquiry Sect stood by, watching coldly.

The moment Ye Qiao grasped the Flying Immortal Sword, she heard the other person's voice.

Choose me.

Ye Qiao was slightly taken aback, realizing that it was the Flying Immortal Sword under her hand that was speaking. The voice was ethereal, and the sword spirit's voice was gentle and persuasive, "Throw away this black stick. I am called Flying Immortal, the leader of all spirit swords, and I am much more powerful than this."

Ye Qiao had never heard of the Flying Immortal Sword in the original work, but it should be known that all swords inside the Sword Cave are top-notch spiritual swords, not to mention that it also possesses a spirit.

Perhaps the spirit sword was too weak and could only transmit sound. The moment Ye Qiao heard it speak, she was moved.

When the Flying Immortal Sword was swung, it was like a beam of moonlight refracted down. It was extremely light in the hand, and the moment Ye Qiao held it, she felt that it was very suitable for her.

A sword that grows stronger when facing a strong opponent and weaker when facing a weak one.

Seeing that Ye Qiao remained silent, the Flying Immortal Sword grew anxious. It desperately wanted Ye Qiao to agree, even resorting to verbal persuasion.

A Heavenly Spiritual Root, and one with exceptionally high talent at that—it's really hard not to be tempted. So what if he has a natal sword? With a Heavenly Spiritual Root, his spiritual sense is incredibly strong; forming contracts with two is a piece of cake. It'll only be a matter of time before he ousts that ugly stick.

The Flying Immortal Sword thought about it very seriously, and became even more eager to stick it to Ye Qiao's hand, "Make a contract with me."

The Flying Immortal Sword is an extremely special sword. Its main users either have extremely high or extremely low talent. If someone with poor talent uses it, it is undoubtedly the same as a contract with an ordinary person.

Therefore, the sword master it chooses must be a genius.

Originally, it had its sights set on either Ye Qinghan or Mu Chongxi, two people with innate sword bones. But now things are different; a person with a celestial spiritual root has entered the scene.

Born with a celestial spiritual root above her sword bones, the Flying Immortal Sword followed her all the way, just to ensure that she could form a contract with Ye Qiao.

Duosun was about to go crazy with anger, but Ye Qiao held it down firmly to calm it down. "I will only contract with this one."

This kind of problem is no less serious than having a second child after having a first child; she needs to discuss the issue of having a second child with her first child first.

In this situation, it's definitely necessary to have a talk with Da Bao.

But Da Bao doesn't seem to be able to talk...

Upon hearing Ye Qiao agree to the contract, the Flying Immortal Sword immediately circled around her excitedly. Seeing this, some of the other spirit swords in the Sword Cave were eager to try their luck.

There is also a hierarchy of spirit swords. The swords like Duan Shui, Shuang Han, and Cun Xue are at the very top because their previous masters were all exceptionally talented geniuses.

The Flying Immortal Sword belongs to the lowest category. It was unlucky and found a bunch of useless sword masters, which made the Flying Immortal Sword, which was already weak against the weak, even more useless.

Seeing that even the Flying Immortal Sword could be taken away, they immediately forgot about the pride and arrogance of spirit swords. If they didn't hurry up and find a sword master, they would have to wait another hundred years.

In an instant, all the spirit swords stirred. The Frostbite Sword rushed to Ye Qiao without stopping, blocking her path.

As the three swords appeared simultaneously, Ye Qiao pressed down hard on Duo Sun, signaling it to calm down.

The two swords, Jinghong and Lueying, were inseparable like a pair of love swords, blocking Ye Qiao's path from one in front and the other behind.

Each one of them was less reserved than the last.

Ye Qinghan couldn't help but look at Ye Qiao, wanting to see what she was going to do.

So many spirit swords choosing masters at the same time...

If it were him, Ye Qinghan would be shaken and confused. His original intention was to take the Broken Water Sword, but the other spirit swords were also very strong, and each sword had its own unique attributes and sword energy.

Choosing from so many swords, one might quickly become lost.

Ye Qinghan wanted to see what Ye Qiao would choose, but to her surprise, Ye Qiao raised her hand and immediately followed in a flash. With each step she took, the swords followed. She raised an eyebrow and said, "Eh? You like me? Then come over here, all of you."

Only children make choices; of course, she wants both.

Seeing her actions, Ye Qinghan remained silent for a long time. Four different swords surrounded Ye Qiao, eagerly awaiting her contract. Ye Qiao was serious about what she said. Resources were prepared for geniuses, so why couldn't she have them all since she was a genius?

Just as Ye Qiao was pondering how to discuss with Duo Xun about adding these swords to the harem, a clear and melodious voice rang out from her hand, carrying disdain and a sneer.

"Just you guys?"

The sudden sound seemed particularly abrupt in the silent sword cave.

Ye Qinghan's voice turned cold. "Where did that voice come from?"

He thought something dirty had gotten in, since he knew all ten of his disciples, and he had never heard that voice before.

Ye Qinghan swung his sword, but it was all for naught. He looked around but didn't see anything.

Chu Xingzhi pointed at the bamboo shoot in Ye Qiao's hand and said uncertainly, "Uh..."

"It sounds like it's talking, doesn't it?"

Why can't I see you?

This was the first time Ye Qiao had heard the sword spirit's voice. Because the voice was so fast, she couldn't tell whether it was male or female for a moment. Just as she was thinking, the bamboo shoot in her hand suddenly flew out again. Ye Qiao subconsciously tried to stop it, but she couldn't keep up with its speed.

As Jun flew into the air, seeing so many swordsmen coming to seize his sword master, his tone turned cold, filled with provocation and malice: "A bunch of trash who can't even maintain their own appearance?"

His tone was arrogant, and the sarcastic effect was immediately maximized.

Just then, Mu Chongxi and Zhou Xingyun, who happened to be looking for someone, carrying the Chaoxi Sword which had taken human form, bumped into Bujianjun, who was in a very bad mood.

Chao Xijian exclaimed in surprise, "Wow~ so many swords!"

"Junior Sister?" Mu Chongxi was stunned by this scene.

Looking up blankly at the sword spirit in mid-air, the sword spirit, which was in a cloud of black mist, gradually solidified in mid-air, and at this moment the black sword spirit gently opened its eyes.

Have you transformed since I last saw you?
