"If only I were truly a man..."
The light from the stack of firewood inside the Daoist Temple was dim and heavy.
As Su Bei gently wiped the two swords within the Sword Box, he felt a new energy coursing through his body, and murmured to himself, "The sword needs nurturing."
The Qingping Sword had become second nature to him, but as for the Missing Departure, his control was still lacking significantly.
The myriad laws and changes of the world never stray from their principles. What countless cultivators seek is the great immortality of not dying.
Only cultivators who have achieved the lesser immortality truly deserve the title of "Immortal," having initially "Achieved Dao." For Sword Cultivators, the nurturing is mutual between sword and man. It's not as exaggerated as becoming one with the sword, but if one wishes to reach the end of a cultivator's path, at the very least, they must nurture a Sword Spirit.
A Sword Spirit that belongs to oneself.
