My Master Knows It All

The Sword Spirit was likely correct. Before its death, it was indeed close to becoming a Half-step Golden Immortal. He could feel the immense power gap between them.

However, he was not without advantages.

The Sword Spirit was, after all, just a Sword Spirit. It had to rely on the power of the Purple Dawn Sword. Previously, the Purple Dawn Sword had no owner. He didn’t know whether something happened to this sword, or if some True Monarch Purple Sun knew they were going to die, or for some other reason, wiped the aura of this Purple Dawn Sword.

Without an owner, after he used the Blood Coagulating Stone, he naturally became half the owner of this Purple Dawn Sword. However, the Sword Spirit constantly prevents his aura from fully entering the sword, so the Purple Dawn Sword has not fully acknowledged him yet.

Even so, the Purple Dawn Sword tends to accept his aura, so the Sword Spirit cannot fully borrow the aura of the Purple Dawn Sword.

Therefore, a slow consumption it shall be.

The Black Dragon Sword Spirit seemed to understand what Cao Zhen was plotting. While continuously preventing Cao Zhen’s aura from fully entering the sword body, it said, ”What? You still want to consume me? Don’t delude yourself. When your immortal energy is exhausted, my power doesn’t diminish much, and recovery...

By relying on the Purple Dawn Sword, my recovery speed is definitely much faster than yours. By the time you recover, I will have long been restored. So, you’d better obediently use your previous treasures. Wait until your Cultivation Base realm can surpass True Monarch Purple Sun, or when you enter the True Immortal Realm, I will naturally allow you to use this sword.

Of course, I only allow you to use it, but it doesn’t mean I recognize you. I definitely won’t let you borrow the power of our Hundred Dragons!”

Upon hearing this, Cao Zhen laughed immediately: ”Don’t make it sound so nice. You said you’d allow me to use it after I enter the True Immortal Realm. If I really enter the True Immortal Realm, would I still need your permission? At that time, could you stop me?

Besides, don’t say when I enter the True Immortal Realm, even now, you can’t stop me. You think you can consume energy, right? Then let’s compare. I’ve never seen anyone who can outlast me in energy consumption.”

The Black Dragon Sword Spirit laughed disdainfully: ”Such arrogance. A little Late Immortality Regainment Realm like you... You’ve never seen anyone who can outlast you, only because you lack experience.”

Cao Zhen retorted: ”What if I win? If you can’t outlast me in the end, then what? Why don’t we make a bet? If I can’t outlast you, then before I reach the True Immortal Realm, I won’t touch this sword. But, what if I win?”

The Black Dragon Sword Spirit confidently replied quickly: ”If you win, I will let you control the Purple Dawn Sword, but you will never win.”

”Wait a minute... There is a problem in what you said.” Cao Zhen looked at the purple sharp sword in front of him as if questioning if its mind was intact, ”If I win, even if you want to stop me, you can’t. By then, this sword will naturally be mine. In concluding this bet, I would be penalized if I lose, but gain nothing if I win, right?”

”What’s problematic there? Don’t think that just because I’m a Sword Spirit, I’m an idiot! If I win, it benefits me nothing. When you lose, it proves my existence, meaning you can’t use the Purple Dawn Sword. So, refraining from touching the sword before the True Immortal Realm doesn’t benefit me, does it?” The Black Dragon Sword Spirit’s tone carried an intellectual superiority, as if finding the human laughable for trying to deceive it.

”How doesn’t it benefit you? Let me ask you, if we don’t bet, even if I fail this time, can I freely touch this sword afterward, invoking immortal energy whenever I wish, keeping you on constant alert? Wouldn’t that be annoying for you? But if I lose, I won’t touch the sword before the True Immortal Realm, which means I won’t disturb you, so how doesn’t that benefit you?”

Cao Zhen continued, not giving the Black Dragon Sword Spirit a chance to react, catching a slight breath before proceeding: ”But if I win, there’s no benefit. That’s unfair. How about this.

You just mentioned the power of Hundred Dragons you control. If I win, let me borrow the power of Hundred Dragons. How about it?”

”Impossible!” The Black Dragon Sword Spirit responded, denying it without hesitation, ”The power of Hundred Dragons represents the power of all our clan members. I may use it, but I cannot decide for them. You must gain the recognition of our clan before you can use the power of Hundred Dragons. I absolutely won’t grant it to you lightly!”

Cao Zhen felt that this Black Dragon Sword Spirit was insulting his intelligence. What did it mean by needing the Black Dragon Sword Spirit’s clan’s recognition? The souls of those in the Black Dragon Sword Spirit’s clan had already been refined, so how to gain recognition?

It all depended on what the Black Dragon Sword Spirit said!

”Are you afraid of losing? Is that why you don’t dare to bet with me?” Cao Zhen could only turn to provoking it.

Upon hearing this, the Black Dragon Sword Spirit was filled with disdain: ”Lose? How could I lose to a little Late Immortality Regainment Realm like you? What a joke.”

”Then why don’t you dare to bet with me?”

”Is it that I don’t dare? It’s because I can only represent myself, not our clan! Tell you what, if you win, I cannot let you borrow our clan’s power, but I can allow you to borrow my power. But, just so you know, you won’t win anyway.”
