Chen Hong gazed at the figure that was faintly visible outside the courtyard and slowly said, "The Azure Sky Sword... this must be the third 'super sword' of our Chen family."

Chen Cong shook his head slightly, his gaze seemingly piercing through the dust of time: "Old Hongtou, that's not necessarily true. Have you forgotten our ancestor, Chen Ling Gong?"

He picked up his teacup and spoke steadily, “The ancestor is revered as the head of the ‘Five Supreme Beings,’ but the extent of his power remains shrouded in mystery for us, his descendants.”

He put down his teacup, his fingertips unconsciously tracing invisible marks along the edge: "What we know is that after the Ancestor went to the City of Slaughter, his Martial Soul advanced from the seventh rank to the eighth rank, and later broke through to the ninth rank."

"As for the later stages, whether the Seven Kill Sword eventually crossed that insurmountable barrier and became a third-tier super martial soul on par with the Heavenly Might Sword and the Flowing Light Sword... no one can say for sure yet."

Chen Cong's voice carried a deep contemplation of unsolved mysteries: "There are many things that are hard to understand."

"For example, although he was clearly stuck at level ninety-eight in cultivation, he lived to the extraordinary age of three hundred years. And for another example..."

He looked up at Chen Hong, his eyes filled with inquiry. "His unique skill is ranked second among the Chen Clan's 'Eight Wonders,' only after 'Sword God Descends.'"

"This means that the significance of the Ancestor's ultimate technique even surpasses the inherited ultimate techniques left by our two ancestors, Chen Xili and Chen Feiyi, who were at level 99 later."

He paused, as if weighing the weight of the sealed history: "What's more, even the prototype of our Chen family's supreme secret technique, 'Sword God Descends,' the initial framework and most of its foundation, also came from the hands of our ancestor."

"Therefore, one can imagine how broad the vision, how profound the theories, and how strong the cultivation of the progenitor Chen Linggong were."

"I even suspect that he once used the 'Sword God Descends' technique."

Chen Cong's gaze finally returned to the Daoist aura flowing in the courtyard. "It is precisely because of these seemingly ordinary yet profoundly meaningful doubts that many clansmen in later generations have a lingering thought in their minds: the Seven Kill Sword of the Ancestor, its ultimate destination may not be the Ninth Grade Realm that we are familiar with."

"That sword that accompanied him throughout his life of slaughter is very likely... to be the first true third-tier sword of the Chen family."

"This speculation has always been a blank in the clan's history."

……

There was so much information today, but Ji Tiantian was the one who was most shocked.

If it weren't for her great-grandmother, Bo Xian'er, tacitly allowing her to stay, she would have avoided these core family secrets long ago.

Although she only vaguely understood the profound theories about martial spirit forms and rule resonance, she had already gleaned key words from everyone's fragmented conversations that were enough to make her heart race—

Her sixth brother, her cousin Chen Xiaojun, and her sister-in-law Xiaoyi, actually possessed twin martial souls just like her.

Even more incredibly, the four martial souls they each possessed were all of legendary god-level quality.

Moreover, at least one of them has already reached the level of a super martial soul.

Chen Xiaojun was filled with excitement, and his steps were lighter than when he came.

My great-grandfather's Seven Kill Sword has finally broken through to the level of a super martial soul. This is no longer just an expected goal, but something that has truly happened.

This means that in the near future, the Chen family will truly possess its own peerless Douluo.

For the entire Chen family, this was the cornerstone for changing the landscape; for him personally, especially for his upcoming trip to the Central District and facing the Haotian Sect, this clear support from the family's peak martial power greatly boosted his confidence and strengthened his resolve like never before. The Chen family's grand strategy finally had its most crucial anchor.

Xiao Yi, walking beside her, looked much calmer.

Her mind was preoccupied with the changes in her main martial soul.

The evergreen vine is exhibiting more and more strange abilities, whether it is its powerful devouring properties or its amazing branch control, all of which are becoming more and more extraordinary.

She silently recalled that the birth of this vine seemed to resonate deeply with the Ten Thousand Leaves Flying Flower Flow and Nine Palaces Soul Transfer Technique she had cultivated in her previous life, as if they were tailor-made for her.

Deep within her heart, she vaguely sensed the close connection and profound resonance between this evergreen vine and her, perhaps even surpassing the Void Willow Vine, which was also a god-level being.

This vine, rooted in the power of her past life, is displaying immeasurable potential and a unique affinity.

……

In fact, she definitely preferred the Evergreen Vine to the Void Willow Vine.

This feeling does not stem from the quality or strength of a martial soul.

The spatial and temporal power contained within the Void Willow Vine is undoubtedly precious and powerful.

But in Xiaoyi's heart, the evergreen vine represents a completely different meaning.

It was as if it had grown naturally from the deepest part of her life.

From that initial, delicate, swaying sprout, it silently sprouted, drawing upon her soul power, growing and transforming in sync with each breakthrough in her realm.

Every sway of its leaves, every tactile sensation of its vines winding and extending, resonated with the flow of the myriad leaves and flowers of her soul power within her body, as smoothly and naturally as breathing with the spiritual imprint of the Nine Palaces Soul Transfer Technique.

When using techniques derived from memories of a past life, the Evergreen Vine seemed to become the most loyal resonator. Without deliberate manipulation, with the slightest thought, the vine would freely express the charm of thousands of leaves swirling like waterfalls and shifting and changing within the space of the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams.

In contrast, the Void Willow Vine is more like a descended "divine artifact" waiting to be controlled.

It possesses immense power, yet carries an inherent sense of "distance".

Even now, with its deep connection to Xiaoyi, using it requires more mental effort to coordinate the profound spatial and temporal power within, making it feel more like wielding a powerful external magic weapon rather than an extension from its own origin.

This favoritism is hidden in Xiaoyi's smallest gestures—when her soul power quietly circulates, the slender tendrils of the Evergreen Vine will unconsciously wrap around her wrist; when she falls into thought, her fingertips will unconsciously caress a vine leaf that radiates the glow of life; even in the quiet of the night, she can feel that vibrant pulse, like another tranquil and warm heartbeat, slowly beating within her, silently protecting her.

This sense of belonging stemming from "herself," the trust built through shared growth, and the unparalleled sense of control and compatibility allowed the evergreen ivy to take firm root deep within her soul, becoming irreplaceable.

This fondness for evergreen ivy has long transcended its functional strengths and weaknesses, becoming the most fitting touch of vibrant green in the essence of her life.

It is a partner, a symbiotic entity, and a unique mark of her life.

Without needing to be spoken, this love is deeply rooted in every resonance between the vines and the soul.
