Shi Xiaobai gave the little sword spirit a thoughtful look. He knew that she had said those words to counsel him. She was afraid that his remorse of feeling weak and his thirst for strength would be distorted into a mental demon that would plague him.
Although the little loli had revealed her true personality which was forceful, overbearing, and 'unkindly', whatever she said was for his own good. Good advice was typically harsh on the ears, but every word was worth their weight in gold.
However, the thing about reading more books…
Shi Xiaobai wavered slightly but it was not an intense feeling. His mind was raging with the thoughts—cultivate, cultivate and more hard work cultivating!
All this while, he had been using 'Cogitation' to replace his sleep and he had undergone several battles, increasing his strength without him knowing it. However, he had always been passive in his cultivation. He had never systematically understood the psionic cultivation system.
He had determined the pros and cons of everything with the 'King's Intuition' and found weakness through his 'True Heretic King Eyes'. He knew very little about cultivation methods, making him completely unsure of ways to increase his strength for less effort.
Furthermore, he did not even know what his strength was in the human world.
Shi Xiaobai realized that there were too many things he did not know. He was determined to put in more effort and diligence once he left the land of trials.
As for reading more books…Ahem. He'll try his best…
Shi Xiaobai looked down at the black and white blobs of light in his palms. The joy of regaining something he had lost rose up in his heart. The corners of his mouth could not help but suffuse a smile. He looked up at the little sword spirit and asked, "How can they be 'revived'?"
The little sword spirit rolled her eyes and gave an expression that 'people without general knowledge was terrifying'. She said in a solemn voice, "Gather the materials needed to cast a sword. Find a sword casting master. During the sword casting, inject the sword spirit neonates into them and complete the 'Spirit Endowment'."
"Remember to get a good sword casting master and try to get better materials. The two junk swords can't even be ranked as a 'divine weapon'. To think they aren't embarrassed calling themselves 'Holy Radiance' and 'Darkness Holy Sword'? At least cast them into sword bodies that are on the level of being holy or do not take on such names. You might be shameless, but This Sword Spirit will feel embarrassed for you!"
The little loli in front of Shi Xiaobai was the sword spirit of Lucifer's Sword. Furthermore, Lucifer's Sword was the Hero King's sword. The level and grade it was at was ranked among the top of all weapons in history.
It was reasonable for her to despise the black and white swords and, call them 'junk swords'. From her point of view, the so-called 'holy' swords were far from reaching the grade of holy. They were not worthy of the names 'Radiance' and 'Darkness'.
Shi Xiaobai did not retort nor did he plan on retorting. He only said with a serious nod, "This King will prepare them the best materials and find the most excellent sword casting master!"
Shi Xiaobai carefully kept the black and white blobs of light into his palm.
On the day the broken swords were recast, he was confident that they would live up to the names 'Radiance' and 'Darkness'.
The little sword spirit tsked and glanced at Shi Xiaobai. She said nonchalantly, "How's the poison?"
She stole a glance at Shi Xiaobai before turning her head away, as though her proud expression said 'This Sword Spirit is just asking in passing. This Sword Spirit doesn't really care'.
"It's fine," replied Shi Xiaobai softly. The black and white swords had become the final life-saving straws. He had been cleansed of the remaining 'Holy Tree Sin Poison' and he was now fine.
Speaking of which, if not for his poison-resistant body, Massage Technique of God, and Power of Taotie, there was no way of him surviving the 'Holy Tree Sin Poison'.
And what he needed to thank was the little white dog that had vomited out all of its treasures, the black and white sword that shattered themselves without consideration for anything, as well as the overbearing little sword spirit in front of him. If not for them, it would be very difficult for him to survive the calamity despite having three of the Absolute Choice's rewards.
Shi Xiaobai was filled with gratitude as he gently ruffled the little white dog which was lying on his shoulder. He turned to look at the little sword spirit and said gently, "Thank you."
The little sword spirit's fair face blushed slightly before the tint vanished. Tipping her head up, she grunted, "Hmph, This Sword Spirit did not do it for you. It would have been very problematic if you were to die or be disabled! Remember, never do anything silly in the future. This Sword Spirit is only a spirit. It expends a great deal of Core Qi to take on a physical embodiment! Don't you think of getting This Sword Spirit to save you when you seek death yourself. Every move This Sword Spirit takes expends a hundred years of accumulated Core Qi. This Sword Spirit would rather die in glory than live in dishonor. This Sword Spirit will absolutely, absolutely not lend a helping hand! Hmph!"
Shi Xiaobai faltered momentarily. Although he did not know what 'Core Qi' the little sword spirit spoke of, he could sense that she thought very highly of 'Core Qi'. She was stingy with it like it was a treasure she hoarded, yet she had expended her 'Core Qi' to preserve the black and white swords' spirit neonates. She had also expanded her 'Core Qi' to take on a physical embodiment to 'teach' him a ruthless lesson.
"Thank you." Shi Xiaobai thanked her once again but it was even more sincere and 'mushy'.
"This Sword Spirit has already said it was for herself!"
The little sword spirit glared with her arms akimbo. Her nose bridge was slightly scrunched up, making her look very cute and adorable.
The little sword spirit raised her head haughtily and was just about to denigrate Shi Xiaobai when her expression changed suddenly. She said, "That irritating woman is about to come on up. This Sword Spirit will be returning. Remember, don't do anything silly!"
The little sword spirit pointed at Shi Xiaobai and glared at him. Suddenly, she turned into a blob of golden light and with a whoosh, she flew into the golden pattern on the back of Shi Xiaobai's right hand.
Shi Xiaobai faltered for a moment.
Irritating woman?
At that moment, in the snow-white desolate plains, an enchanting figure dressed in a colorful gown suddenly appeared.
Her beauty was one that could topple nations and her figure could be said to be excellent. She produced lotuses with every step as she walked over. Who else could she be but the Infernal Queen?
Shi Xiaobai looked at her coldly.
The Infernal Queen had a coquettish smile on her lips, as though she was not aware that she had forcefully pushed Shi Xiaobai to the ninth level and had nearly killed him.
Shi Xiaobai could not help but sneer. He was interested to see what other tricks she was up to.
However, his expression changed for he never expected the first few words that other than still shamelessly calling him 'Darling' in an intimate manner, the Infernal Queen had something that caught him by surprise as she walked over.
The Infernal Queen seemed radiant as though she was immersing herself in a joyous occasion. She beamed as she said, "Congratulations Darling for becoming the King of Transcendence!"
Shi Xiaobai was appalled as his expression changed. "What joke is that!?"
The Infernal Queen grinned and said, "How can I be joking with Darling…Darling is now the only Transcendent King in the past fifteen thousand years."
Shi Xiaobai regained his calm as his gaze turned slightly cold. He questioned coldly, "This King has rejected the Transcendent King's heritage and has resisted the Holy Tree Sin Poison's backlash."
"You are probably disappointed that This King has neither turned into the Transcendent King nor died, aren’t you? But why are you trying to deceive This King with such an incompetent lie?"
The Infernal Queen chuckled and said, "It seems like Darling will never believe in me again. However, I am not lying. If Darling doesn't believe, he can check his chest for a tiny green dot."
Shi Xiaobai frowned when he heard those words. After a moment of hesitation, he pulled his clothes open and looked down at his chest. He had never looked too carefully, but now, on careful observation, he realized that in the middle of his creamy-white chest, there was a tiny green dot that resembled a 'mole'. It was light green in color, nearly white. However, it still stood out in contrast with the white skin surrounding it.
There was really a tiny green dot?
