Chapter 5650: Forging
“Crafting the blade you envision.” Li Qiye stared at her before commenting: “Difficult.”
“The sword is the dao and the dao is the sword but when speaking purely in terms of the sword, I still fall short.” She couldn’t help but smile wryly.
“It depends on your mastery.” Li Qiye said.
She had a troubled expression because the refinement process had been going on for numerous years. All the swords left her unsatisfied.
“I gained some insight from the heavenly sword.” She said: “It is a dao path.”
“What you think and what you do are two different things. Crafting a heavenly sword and your goal are not the same.” He shook his head. New novel chapters are published on
He paused for a moment before concluding: “What’s on your mind originated from Sword Burial Zone, not the heavenly sword.”
She had Abyss for a long time, capable of using it like a part of her body. However, she felt lost trying to craft another heavenly sword. The creation process seemed to be a greater dao, not originating from the sword or the sword dao.
“I was inspired by the heavenly sword and used my anima to forge another, but the outcome stops at the sword dao with no connection to the myriad dao.” She elaborated.
“Focusing on the sword alone is fine since when you reach the pinnacle, it will elevate your dao as well. But if you wish to stand atop a dao system, your cultivation right now is insufficient.” He said.
“Yes.” She smiled wryly: “Back in Eight Desolaces, Sword Continent had already explored all the possible paths, only to still be within the boundary of the heavenly sword dao. How hard it is for future generations to carve their own path.”
Sword Continent took pride in possessing the best sword dao. Alas, virtually everything originated from the heavenly sword dao. Although some masters had created their own sword dao, it didn’t diverge substantially from the original nine if at all.
This haunted top cultivators in Eight Desolaces. Despite their greatest effort, they couldn’t jump out of the heavenly sword dao. It seemed that as long as they were born here, escaping its boundary was impossible.
“The epoch started with the heavenly sword dao, I understand how hard it is.” Li Qiye smiled and shook his head.
She didn’t know that he was the creator of her epoch - the person who had infused the heavenly dao into the system.
How could anyone living in it be able to transcend the original versions? Just creating something on the same level required an unrivaled swordsman whose legacy would be immortalized.
Nonetheless, entering the path of the heavenly sword dao was still a good thing. Becoming a dao lord was relatively easy, the same for winning battles.
Alas, they eventually found themselves being trapped in a prison. Everything they did came from the heavenly dao. Their own sword dao and creation were suppressed.
Sword Queen and Swordsea delved deeper into this path, hoping to break through one day and create something just as great. The best they could hope for was to destroy the shackles and create something equal.
Along the way, their own dao continued to face suppression, unable to reach the limit. To abandon the heavenly sword dao entirely was a potential shortcut, allowing their own dao to improve.
This was Violet Abyss Dao Lord’s choice. She had perfected Abyss dao at this point and chose to do something different.
Although this made her dao improve faster than her peers, the result might not be as brilliant. The foundation of her sword dao couldn’t compare to the heavenly foundation. The risk of qi deviation was high.
