Baiqiu couldn't contain his excitement and raised his thumb in agreement with Yuanhui's words.

After laughing for a while, Baiqiu's expression immediately turned serious.

"Do you know the value of this immortal stone? Although this immortal stone is not the first choice material for crafting top-grade swords, it is still a rare treasure. Just one piece of this immortal stone can be said to be invaluable even throughout the desolate continent. However, practically speaking, if it is not chosen by the right person, it can be deemed worthless."

"Hehe, what is the intention behind Mr. Bai's words? Invaluable yet worthless?" Yuanhui couldn't understand, but he knew that this immortal stone was very precious. He just didn't understand why such an extraordinary item was considered worthless.

At that moment, his senior disciple suddenly interjected.

"As far as I know, the immortal stone is very valuable in the market, and there are very few forces on the continent that can afford such a thing... Well, that means in your understanding, this spiritual stone's potential to become a sword capable of slaying immortals and demons is difficult to achieve. However, this value can only be realized by a truly exceptional individual. Otherwise, even immortals would find it hard to control."

"Yes, if one does not have the ability to forge this immortal stone into a divine weapon, then this stone is just a useless piece of scrap. So, even though this embryonic spiritual stone is invaluable, it is also considered worthless." Baiqiu agreed with his senior disciple's words and shook his head helplessly before stepping forward to stand in front of Yuanhui with a smile.

"If you say you are destined with this weapon, then I won't ask about the reason. I just want to know, what can you do if you obtain it?"

"I can do nothing because I am the exceptional person you mentioned!" Yuanhui replied without hesitation.

"Oh? How can you be so sure, young man?" After a moment of contemplation, Yuanhui still repeated the same words.

"Just because my temperament is similar to it, so we are destined."

"Hmm... Haha, calling you 'young man' again because your words have some insight, and I also agree with you. What do you think, Aqiu?" Baiqiu looked to his senior disciple as if seeking his advice.

But he hesitated. The embryonic sword was obtained by Master by chance, and he had always wanted to completely forge it into a divine weapon. However, repeated failures in forging had made him realize that Master did not yet possess the ability to forge an immortal stone, so...

"...So it's even less likely for me." Aqiu scratched his head embarrassedly. He was confident in his forging skills, but compared to Master...

"All right, I'll give you this embryonic sword. Young man, if fate allows, this sword will become a truly divine weapon. But if you are not destined for it, please pass it on to someone else who might be destined for it, okay?" Baiqiu squinted and said a puzzling statement with a smile.

Yuanhui gradually became puzzled and did not understand Baiqiu's words.

"Why... why is that, Master?"

"Don't you understand? That's fate..." Baiqiu pretended to be profound, his smile filled with mystery.

"But... Master is giving it to me for free, I can't just take it!" Seeing that Baiqiu intended to give it to him directly, Yuanhui immediately waved his hand.

"You are destined for it."

Seemingly just being destined was not enough to convince him, but it was enough to leave Yuanhui speechless.

"Take it, you having your eyes on this embryonic sword already indicates that you are destined for this divine sword. I hope it will find a capable master in your hands and fulfill its true value!" The senior disciple also agreed to give the embryonic sword to Yuanhui, which left Yuanhui even more uncertain about what to do.

But if he bought it... Yuanhui did not have enough gold coins to buy it, and it was not his principle to accept things from others for no reason.

After a moment of silence, Yuanhui clasped his hands and said, "Thank you, but I, Wuyuanhui, am not the kind of ungrateful person. Let's treat this... um, spiritual elixir as a token of exchange?"

So, Yuanhui handed the spiritual elixir he obtained from the Chief Guardian of the Holy Emperor's Guards to Baiqiu.

"Ah, this... where did you get this treasure?" The old man's expression suddenly became extremely surprised. He could hardly believe that such a divine object would be in the hands of a kid like Yuanhui!

"Hehe, I got it from a 'friend's' corpse, and since you seem to like it so much..."

Yuanhui knelt down again in a manner as respectful as proposing to a wife.

While reluctant, he was willing to take this risk, even if it meant giving the spiritual pearl to the old man Baiqiu.

"Ah, this... this is? How did you get hold of this treasure?"

The old man was completely dumbfounded, never expecting that a mere kid would possess such a divine item!

"Heh heh, you're quite a righteous and faithful young man, repaying kindness with gratitude. With such a mindset, you will certainly achieve greatness in the future!" The old man Fanqing patted his beard contentedly, looking truly satisfied.

"Master overpraised." Yuanhui bowed once more, holding the embryonic sword in his hand, feeling extremely excited. Despite the lack of any notable reaction from the spiritual core cultivated within him during this period, it was focused solely on this huge embryonic sword. Only when Yuanhui held this divine sword in hand did the spiritual core cease its movement and return to its normal state.

... Why this giant sword?

Yuanhui suddenly felt a faint pain in his chest, a familiar sensation that had been long forgotten came rushing back.

"This is..."

Through endless changes over time, Yuhanhui never expected that after so many years he would remember these memories again...

"Demonic Beast, surrender now, or witness the power of the Four Pavilion Masters unleashing the Immortal-Slaying Array - Reverse Immortal Flow Technique!"

"Oh, I don't want to be dealt with that easily!"

A black flame shot out from the bounds of this celestial array, rising straight into the sky. In an instant, the black flames covered the entire sky above the continent, before fear even had a chance to set in, destruction was already silently approaching.

"Demon, stop this now, or else..."

Twelve colorful rays descended from the sky, like twelve sharp blades slicing through the heavens.

"Your fate is already sealed, and now... Ah!"

The Twelve Divine Beasts and a Black Giant Dragon locked in battle in mid-air, the fight gradually escalating and becoming increasingly intense and complex.

The power at that moment made Yuanhui remember many things, as if... as if... I am... huh?

The giant sword suddenly burst out with several beams of light, blinding them.

"How... can it possess such powerful Chi?!" Baiqiu was completely baffled, never expecting such a formidable killing power from just the sword's aura. In that split second, he instinctively shielded his disciple, but unfortunately Aqiu's strength was not enough, and his right leg was injured by the intense light!

Finally, the giant sword quietly settled on the ground, as if nothing had happened.

Thinking the Storm Sword had calmed down, unprepared for the spiritual core in Yuanhui to become active again, sending several spiritual veins through his body and into the embryonic sword.

Clang!

In front of Baiqiu and Aqiu, the giant sword emitted a radiant light, its blade suddenly transformed.

"Could it be the meteor sword light?!" Baiqiu exclaimed, excitedly wanting to touch the crimson sharp edge of the embryonic sword, but the sharpness of the sword aura made him hesitant, not daring to make contact even with all his Chi concentrated.

"How... he actually has such skill to give this dead sword a hint of life!"

His senior disciple was also extremely excited. The sword light represented the spirituality of the blade, only those who could stir the blade's own sword aura could be considered its rightful owner.

Seeing this, Yuanhui could only smile wryly. He couldn't possibly tell them that the blade aura was actually generated by his own meteor sword technique in his body, right?

"Yes, the meteor sword technique is a big taboo. In the human world, using this sword technique marks the dragon clan as heretical!" Wuxian said, not explaining why, only instructing Yuanhui not to tell anyone, warning of potential fatal consequences...

Therefore, Yuanhui should not reveal the existence of the meteor sword technique to anyone.

"Young man, I believe you can turn this embryonic sword into a game-changing divine weapon. Now, what do you intend to name this future weapon?" Baiqiu asked eagerly.

"A name? I'm not sure..."

"Well, all skills and weapons in the world need a name of their own. You must give it one."

Baiqiu's strange request puzzled Yuanhui for a while. Finally, scratching his head, he said, "Well... then let's call it the Meteor Heavy Sword."

"You indeed! I had a feeling that something was amiss from the start. Where is Yuanhui now? You must be the one who knows best." After Yuanhui bid farewell to Baiqiu, his senior disciple Aqiu asked in confusion.

"Master, you exchanged that divine sword for a spiritual elixir..."

"Don't worry, this investment is worth it. Believe me... we haven't lost anything!"

"Um, Master, do you not feel guilty for using fate as an excuse to exchange a broken sword for a top-quality spiritual elixir?" Aqiu's tone carried a hint of disdain, as the divine sword was originally just a decorative piece in their home, and now it had been sold at such a high price to a pitiful person...

"Hmph, it's not so much that the kid is destined for this sword, rather that the sword itself belongs to him."

"I don't understand, please enlighten me, Master."

"Sigh... just watch and learn. Oh, by the way, we can return to the Western Province in a few days..."

"Huh?" Aqiu was puzzled. "Master's strength has not yet recovered, wouldn't returning now only invite mockery from the other six elders and that old boy from the Zheng family?"

"Haha! The things that even I couldn't steal some time ago have been delivered to me by this kid. Moreover, seeing the person and having the item delivered into my hands personally, the task has naturally been completed."
