Simulated immortality allows me to calculate talent stats.

Your slight raise of your eyebrows...that gesture seems familiar.

[His gaze flickered towards the first leader, Xu Hui.]

[Whenever a life-or-death situation arose, the first generation leader, Xu Hui, would raise his hand to the sky in this manner.]

[Retrieve the brain stored in the heavens.]

Qi Xuan has come to apologize, and has even entrusted you with the white jade longsword, the very essence of swordsmanship.

[Of course it couldn't be a life-or-death struggle.]

Therefore, you can't help but wonder what this swordsman from the Yongzhou Sword Palace is planning to do.

[Splash...]

As Qi Xuan raised his hand to the sky, his five fingers closed.

It was as if something was being pulled along.

The sound of shackles echoed throughout the heavens and earth.

Then, strange phenomena surged across the sky, and a magnificent and dazzling supreme sword aura blotted out the sun.

The pervasive oppressive aura caused a piercing pain, as if cutting into one's very soul.

Suddenly.

[You clearly witnessed Qi Xuan's clenched fingers pulling at the shackles.]

[Connecting to the void above the heavens.]

"The Shackles of Heaven and Man..."

Wei Qi's gaze sharpened; he immediately recognized the true nature of the shackles.

The realm of Heaven and Man requires breaking the shackles that bind the body's divine essence, allowing the physique to be created by Heaven and Man.

[Besides breaking free from the shackles that bind the mind.]

[The remaining physical shackles can be broken in varying numbers depending on individual talent.]

Wei Qi, Pang Hai, and others were all exceptionally talented.

[A being who has gained the approval of the Tomb of the God of War, and resonates with the three inherited reliefs.]

They were all perfect beings who had broken free from the nine shackles of their bodies.

Qi Xuan, as the sixth person in the history of the Yongzhou Sword Palace, has completely comprehended the sword essence - Celestial Immortal.

A sword type that imbues one's destiny with its unique swordplay.

[Naturally, he is also a perfect celestial being who has broken free from the nine shackles.]

Even compared to Wei Qi and Pang Hai.

Qi Xuan possessed a far deeper foundation, and his swordsmanship was magnificent, a sublime quality that seemed unbelievable to anyone in the mortal realm.

[You vaguely sense that he is about to break free from the shackles of heaven and earth.]

This is a sign of breaking through the void.

If Qi Xuan hadn't insisted on remaining in the mortal realm, he might have already been able to shatter the void.

Your shattered eyes are filled with a cold, profound light.

[They discerned Qi Xuan's ambition.]

His insistence on remaining in the world stemmed not only from the machinations and schemes of various parties.

[Perhaps they are even attempting something unprecedented for the Yongzhou Sword Palace.]

That is to imbue a destiny with the essence of swordsmanship, enabling it to withstand the void and remain in the mortal realm.

At this moment, he has already reached the pinnacle of humanity.

[A celestial being who has reached the pinnacle of the Void Breaking Realm.]

He reached out and grasped the shackles of his own celestial being.

You witnessed the dazzling array of intricate and mysterious talismans.

Every mark is a manifestation of the fundamental principles of swordsmanship.

You suddenly understand.

[The celestial beings breaking free from their shackles did not shatter these nine innate constraints.]

Instead, it was adapted and used for one's own benefit.

Because shackles are, to some extent, restrictions, but when one breaks free, confinement is transformed into control.

[And thus connect with the heavens.]

[Through this, one can seek to grasp the profound mysteries of heaven and earth, and comprehend the ultimate truths of the world.]

Ultimately, one attains enlightenment and thus breaks free from the constraints of heaven and earth.

This is breaking through the void.

You witnessed a sight that resembled a miracle.

Nine chains, connecting the heavens and descending to earth, are imbued with a magnificent and dazzling sword aura.

The void itself shattered under the mysterious power of the sword's energy.

In an instant, the heavens and earth were filled with the aura of swords, and all things were dominated.

Wei Qi and the others looked solemn, filled with both fear and admiration.

Regarding this master of the Yongzhou Sword Palace...

I understand that there is still a significant gap between him and me.

You silently raised your alert level once again.

Such peak combat power.

[If they appeared during your previous probing attempts.]

[Enough to turn the tide.]

You can only counter it by using your last move and your hidden cards.

[But that's exactly who I am.]

[They actually disappeared during the peace negotiations and maneuvering.]

However, after the peace talks were concluded, he came forward, sword in hand, to apologize.

The underlying reasons behind this are worth pondering.

[You should remember this to yourself and never let your guard down again.]

This world encompasses everything from powerful forces to individuals, from the human realm to the heavens.

They all have their own plans and calculations.

The fact that Qi Xuan could maintain his previous humble posture means...

He had an even more persistent pursuit.

Stop thinking.

Because at that moment, the scene before them changed dramatically.

The violent rattling of the shackles resounded, the clanging and clattering echoing like the distant, reverberating ringing of bells and tripods.

[The sword's aura is mysterious, vast, and surging.]

This plunged the entire world into chaos.

Qi Xuan's eyes, free of hesitation, became resolute and focused.

I gaze at you from afar.

[A clear, high-pitched sound.]

"Qi Xuan, apologize to Mr. Wen!"

[As the voice fluttered.]

Qi Xuan's five fingers, gripping the Celestial Shackles, suddenly tightened.

Then it was torn off violently.

[Click...click...click...]

[A series of sounds, like shattering glass, rang out.]

The shackles, inscribed with the principles of swordsmanship, stretched taut and cracked.

As Qi Xuan pulled, the cracks continued to spread and widen.

[It's covered in patterns resembling cracks in ice.]

Wei Qi and the others' pupils constricted, their eyes widening.

[I finally understand what Qi Xuan is doing.]

[He actually severed his own shackles of divine power!]

The unbelievable behavior deeply shocked them.

It's unimaginable that a celestial being would break free of their shackles.

[The consciousness of the first generation, Xu Hui, emerges.]

He has mastered the art of manipulating the shackles of the divine.

[In the previous reincarnation, having lost the destiny of war, the State of Chu was unable to support two perfect celestial beings.]

He comprehended the principle of a clear, unblemished mind, shackled his head, and used his inner lake to reflect the heavens, residing there in the celestial realm.

[This would cause their cultivation level to drop by half a step to the Celestial Realm.]

[This will remain in the world.]

This action also sowed the seeds of future trouble, leading to his inner demons' corruption.

His manipulation of the shackles of heaven and man was for survival.

[Qi Xuan's current actions.]

[But it is severing the path of the sword.]

If the nine celestial shackles were completely shattered and destroyed.

His lofty position and profound foundation, which touched upon the Void, will completely vanish.

[A celestial being who fell to earth.]

Your gaze grew increasingly calm.

The chaotic celestial phenomena and brilliant sword intent stir your dark hair and make your robes flutter wildly.

You observe the scene before you with an almost detached, indifferent attitude.

Thoughts raced through my mind.

Qi Xuan's cultivation level would make him an absolutely core figure in any power.

[Yin Qian wanted to vent his anger.]

[So, we'll make Qi Xuan sever his sword path at the cost of his own life?]

Is it possible?

[Or perhaps, what did Yin Qian promise that would allow him to restore Qi Xuan's sword path after it was severed, or even rebuild it from the ashes?]

[Lack of intelligence and leads.]

[In addition, the situation is extremely unreasonable.]

[This leaves you only able to speculate.]

[Then he silently cursed under his breath.]

This world is like a ghost.
