"Isn't the Alliance of rchants under Madam Yao? Why not cut off their supply?" Ye Liuyun countered.
"There are still many martial practitioners in the base who go out to fight every day," Li Xianying replied with a light smile as he glanced at Ye Liuyun. "How can they recover without resources?"
"Who will trust us in the future if we cut off supply at will? Who would dare to co to the battlefield against the foreign races? The martial practitioners would feel insecure because of this. I've heard that you have your own rchant network. Is this how you do your business?"
Ye Liuyun was speechless in the face of Li Xianying's bombard of questions.
Ye Liuyun was forced to consider the intricacy of such issues, where a single action might have a profound impact on the whole circumstance. The more power that one has, the more one needs to think about the long-term effects.
Ye Liuyun was enlightened by Li Xianying's remarks and imdiately bowed in appreciation.
Li Xianying waved his hand dismissively. Ye Liuyun was still young, after all, and his accomplishnts were already admirable.
"Ruan Haotian just valued his post of Grand Commander too highly, ignoring certain talented individuals. However, he has not directly targeted or attacked anybody and is fully devoted to defeating the foreign races, so there is no need for us to antagonise him."
"As for resources, we can get them straight from Guangyao, so there isn't much difference. It's just that sotis we don't get enough reinforcents!"
Li Xianying explained as they walked.
"As for resources, we can get them straight from Guangyao, so there isn't much difference. It's just that sotis we don't get enough reinforcents!"
Ye Liuyun's attention was drawn to the rows of coffins that lined the road outside the city at the ti.
There were tens of thousands of them, and so emitted an extrely terrifying aura that made Ye Liuyun's heart race.
"Is this a defensive formation?" Ye Liuyun asked Zhao Hu curiously.
"Those are the coffins of the fallen experts!"
Zhao Hu said reverently as he looked at the countless coffins that lined both sides of the road.
A mont of silence befell them.
Ye Liuyun stood quietly before the rows of coffins, a great reverence welling up inside him.
If these coffins indeed contained the remains of formidable experts, he failed to understand why they radiated such an indescribable aura of ferocity.
"So of these coffins contain rely bits of the soldiers' corpses together with their weapons," Zhao Hu stated after noticing his confusion. "It wasn't easy to find their complete body."
"Most of these weapons are imbued with the warriors' Divine Sense, which is where that fierce energy cos from. These weapons harbor a deep hatred for the foreign race. Its spirit yearns to avenge its masters. If they sense the presence of an enemy, they will attack without hesitation."
"Many of these weapons have accumulated years of resentnt, and the Divine Sense within them has only grown stronger over ti. That's why burying them here serves as a protective barrier for our base, defending against the foreign races."
"Of course, when these weapons co across a suitable descendent, they will send out a signal and follow their new master into war. Thus, continue their fight against the enemy."
Hearing this, Ye Liuyun couldn't help but heave out a heavy sigh.
Even their weaponry retained the spirit of the experts who sacrificed their lives to save mankind.
Only the weapon infused with the warriors' Divine Sense and tempered in battle's blood bath could truly be called a war blade.
Ye Liuyun noticed that each coffin bore a na and a brief inscription of the expert.
"We shall never forget these brave fighters. And if we should perish in combat, your master and I have agreed that we, too, should be interred here," Zhao Hu said as he clapped on Ye Liuyun's shoulder.
The sight of the coffins stirred Ye Liuyun's emotions, and he nodded softly in response. He felt a burst of both sadness and rage. "The destruction inflicted upon us by the foreign races must be t with blood!"
As if responding to his emotions, a war blade suddenly shot out from one of the coffins, its sword intention locked onto Ye Liuyun.
The battle-scarred blade bore a prominent notch, a testant to its fierce clashes with the enemy's weapons. Yet, its nacing aura and sword intention remained undiminished.
Ye Liuyun instinctively shielded himself with his sword intention to avoid being hard.
Suddenly, the blade's Divine Sense communicated with him: "I am the spirit within this blade. My ti is fleeting, and I will soon dissipate. Your sword intention is formidable, akin to mine. Swear to wield against the foreign races, and I shall acknowledge you as my master."
As Li Xianying and Zhao Hu watched Ye Liuyun, they froze, their expressions betraying their amusent.
"That lucky kid! A weapon takes a liking to him right off the bat!" Zhao Hu whispered to Li Xianying.
However, Ye Liuyun drew his Demon Slayer, declining the offer.
"I appreciate your generosity, but I have my own weapon," he explained. Though the battle blade was impressive, it paled in comparison to his trusted Demon Slayer.
The Demon Slayer, in perfect harmony with Ye Liuyun, manifested its sword intention, which was almost on par with the war blade's.
The war blade, realising this, refrained from pressing further. Then, after a little pause, it let out a heavy sigh. "Rather than endless waiting and decay, I shall give you my strength!"
With that, it concentrated all its sword intention and power into a single point, transforming into a concentrated surge of sword intention that shot straight into Ye Liuyun's Ocean of Consciousness.
Ultimately, it relinquished its physical form and Divine Sense, converting all its strength into sword-intention energy to enhance Ye Liuyun's own.
Ye Liuyun imdiately felt an overwhelming surge of sword intention and stood still as he absorbed it.
He needed to assimilate this sword intention. If he didn't, not only would he fail to absorb it, but his sword intention may also be nullified.
Fortunately, sword intention often embodies an indomitable and domineering energy. Drawing on his understanding of sword intention, he quickly absorbed this new force into his own.
The seed of sword intention in his Ocean of Consciousness was shaped like a blade. Over ti, it grew more radiant, signifying an elevation in his sword intention.
Regardless of the realm of a martial practitioner, it's rare to encounter a thod of imparting sword intention energy direct infusion. After all, it was rare for anything to willingly sacrifice themselves for the benefit of others.
After Ye Liuyun regained consciousness, he noticed that the Divine Sense of the war blade had completely dissipated. The blade had now fallen back into the coffin, silent and still.
Ye Liuyun bowed deeply to the coffin to express his heartfelt gratitude.
Simultaneously, the sword intention of the Demon Slayer within Ye Liuyun had also ascended. The overwhelming, domineering aura of the blade couldn't be contained and burst forth, causing the surrounding weapons to recoil in fear and their nacing auras to involuntarily retreat.
Even Li Xianying and Zhao Hu were forced to take a couple of steps back, utterly astonished by the sheer power of Ye Liuyun's sword intention. This level of sword intention had not only surpassed Ye Liuyun's current realm but had also outclassed their weapons.
"Sword intention is now perfected!" Ye Liuyun finally grasped this profound realization.
He was certain that he could overco any obstacle with his next attack.
The feeling of being unstoppable had already rooted in him, even before he had entered a state of desperate battle.
Of course, this newfound sword intention would require continuous refinent through actual combat to reach its full potential. After all, achieving this level of Great Completion had been boosted by the assistance of another.
It would have taken him a lot longer to accomplish on his own. Nevertheless, he had managed to cross this significant threshold.
