At this point, Howeil Tau who is standing nearby, spoke up to clarify for the Elder. "It wasn't that the Elder couldn't deduce the eighth blade. It's that the Elder didn't want to. He realized that the eighth blade shouldn't exist in this world."
Amalia suddenly recalled what Sect Leader Qing had once told her about what Master Lian had said.
The complete Eight Gods Blades—the power of the eighth blade was several times, even hundreds of times, greater than the seventh blade.
This kind of immense disparity in power didn't make sense, as a complete technique is supposed to be built on a balanced system.
Every system has its own balance, and that balance cannot be easily altered.
It's like a Qi Gathering stage cultivator who might be able to use a treasure or tool to exert the power of a Foundation Building stage cultivator, but they cannot cross that threshold to display the power of a Golden Core stage cultivator.
