This divine weapon was rarely used by Bai Zihe.
Firstly, he seldom encountered opponents who could force him to wield the Xuanyuan Sword.
Secondly, the Xuanyuan Sword's inherent power was immense. As Bai Zihe's strength grew, the more power he could unleash, which was detrimental to his own cultivation.
Thirdly, the Xuanyuan Sword's destructive force was astonishing; a casual swing could wreak havoc on the terrain, a fact Bai Zihe knew all too well.
Therefore, Bai Zihe avoided using it whenever possible.
However, the time had evidently come.
On Dragon Island, experts from the Lighthouse Nation had twice used the Xuanyuan Sword before Bai Zihe, shattering space to open a rift and escape into the distance.
Bai Zihe had etched this scene firmly in his mind.
Yet…
Later, on the boundless ocean, Bai Zihe had been targeted by extreme thermal weapons and attempted to shatter space with the Xuanyuan Sword, but failed.
This also made Bai Zihe understand that to rend space with the Xuanyuan Sword, the wielder's strength had to be sufficient, and the stability of the surrounding space was also a factor.
Now, in the void of this forbidden land, Bai Zihe surmised that the Xuanyuan Sword should be able to break through.
"Rise—"
At the next moment, Bai Zihe slowly raised the Xuanyuan Sword, the power of the Five Elements continuously infusing its blade. In the blink of an eye, the Xuanyuan Sword was imbued into a seven-colored divine sword.
Radiant and colorful.
Shining like stars.
The Golden power that fortified and sharpened.
The Wood power that brought life back to the withered.
The Water power as supreme as good is like water.
The Fire power that scorched the heavens and earth.
The Earth power that embraced all things with virtue.
It emitted astonishing waves of energy, causing the space before Bai Zihe to subtly distort, a testament to its might.
This also made Bai Zihe realize that the little tower's words were true: with overwhelming force, absolute power was invincible.
"Break—"
Various thoughts swirled in Bai Zihe's mind.
At the next moment, he aimed the sole, supreme Xuanyuan Sword in this world at the anomaly in space he had sensed.
"Buzz…"
In just the blink of an eye, an invisible ripple spread outwards.
It swept past Bai Zihe.
It swept past this world.
It swept past the boundary of the horizon.
The speed was extreme, akin to lightning.
At the next moment, a white speck of light appeared before Bai Zihe, floating in mid-air, precisely at the location he had previously sensed.
And the surroundings also underwent drastic changes.
The previously sealed space suddenly revealed numerous things.
A secret chamber.
A stone bed.
A stone table.
A stone stool.
Beyond the secret chamber lay the bustling, prosperous Great Thousand World.
On the stone table lay a piece of parchment.
Ancient characters were inscribed on the parchment, exuding an obscure meaning: "Manual of Spatial Power!"
Manual of Spatial Power!
Seeing this, Bai Zihe's heart leaped.
He obtained it so easily?
This was… somewhat beyond Bai Zihe's expectation.
"Whoosh."
Subconsciously, Bai Zihe reached out, intending to take the manual and examine it.
However…
A bizarre scene unfolded.
The Manual of Spatial Power was right before Bai Zihe's eyes, on the stone table, less than a meter away.
Yet, as he reached out, he couldn't touch it, couldn't grasp it!
"Damn it!"
"Spatial power again!"
Bai Zihe couldn't help but exclaim.
The feeling…
was akin to finishing your business in the latrine and discovering you had no toilet paper, with the paper just in front of you, yet utterly unreachable.
It was that agonizing!
"Right, the Xuanyuan Sword!"
Bai Zihe suddenly remembered it and immediately raised his hand, preparing to strike again.
"Whoosh…"
However, when Bai Zihe gathered his power and struck without hesitation, he found that his sword caused no change whatsoever.
Clearly, the space here was far more stable than that of the forbidden land.
Bai Zihe frowned, forced to abandon the idea of forcefully breaking open space to seize the Manual of Spatial Power.
"Huh?"
Bai Zihe suddenly recalled the white speck of light that had appeared after his previous strike with the Xuanyuan Sword.
Since it had appeared, it must have a purpose!
Immediately, Bai Zihe turned around and saw the speck of light not far behind him.
"This thing…"
Bai Zihe muttered, reaching out: "It wouldn't still be subject to spatial isolation, would it?"
At the next moment, Bai Zihe scooped it up, and it landed in his palm.
"Thankfully…"
Bai Zihe let out a sigh of relief, a wry smile on his face.
He had been so bothered by the spatial isolations within that he had become suspicious and prone to complaint whenever encountering anything similar.
"Buzz…"
The moment Bai Zihe's right palm touched the white speck of light, a mysterious wave of energy spread throughout his body.
After it was done, the speck of light, whatever it was, suddenly merged into Bai Zihe's palm.
Bai Zihe blinked slightly.
Then, he immediately focused his internal vision to examine what the speck of light was doing.
After integrating into his meridians, the speck of light flowed with his true essence, coursing through his limbs and bones, before finally appearing in his dantian.
Then…
The speck of light floated out, hovering before his nascent soul in the Violet Palace.
"Buzz!"
"Whoosh!"
"Hiss!"
"Chirp!"
"Fwoo!"
At the same time, the five colors, the five types of true essence, began to leap and frolic around his nascent soul.
Bai Zihe watched in astonishment, yet felt an extremely profound sensation.
It was as if…
the power of the Five Elements was welcoming the arrival of this speck of light.
"What exactly is going on?"
Even Bai Zihe couldn't help but wonder; it was utterly unbelievable!
"Whoosh…"
As Bai Zihe pondered, a strand of pure true essence was attracted to the white speck of light, and then slowly merged with it, becoming inextricably linked.
"Eh?"
And that strand of pure true essence, due to the attention of the speck of light, also took on a similar, soft, pure white color.
But this was just the beginning.
Next, this true essence began to spread.
It spread throughout Bai Zihe's entire body.
Countless strands of true essence, by virtue of this propagation, also turned white.
What surprised Bai Zihe the most was that even after the true essence of the Five Elements had returned to its original state, and the white speck of light had gradually reverted, the two…
coexisted harmoniously, without the slightest conflict or rejection, as if they were born partners.
Seeing this, Bai Zihe finally understood.
That speck of light…
was actually a seed containing a trace of spatial power.
Upon being supported by the true essence in his dantian, it immediately took root and began to sprout, granting him the ability of spatial power!
This…
was incredibly profound.
And a delightful surprise!
