The date that Qin Yun and Yi Xiao determined to take action was the twenty-sixth day of June because the twenty-eight was the day many villages in Grand Dominance County would sacrifice their young children to Water God. By taking action two days early, it would firstly, prevent the children from suffering a terrible fate and secondly, allow Qin Yun and Yi Xiao's plan to proceed.

There was still more than half a month before the designated day arrived. The two made careful preparations and frequently discussed with each other.

After all, neither one of them wanted to fail.

That day at noon.

Just after Qin Yun left Yi Xiao's yard, he saw the county governor standing far away.

"Young Master Qin." The county governor greeted him with a smile.

"Lord County Governor." Qin Yun immediately walked over.

"Let's talk along the way." The county governor smiled as he headed toward a small footpath to the side. Qin Yun followed behind him curiously.

The surrounding vegetation was tranquil and silent. The guards in the distance also maintained a certain distance.

The county governor said with a sigh, "It really feels different being younger. My muscles and bones have strength and some of my minor ailments are gone."

Qin Yun smiled.

"Qin Yun." The county governor turned to look at him. "I owe you a great favor. You played a huge role in being able to extend my life by twenty years. In my heart, you aren't an outsider."

"Whatever happened at Green Tooth Mountain was simply a call of duty," said Qin Yun.

"I'm not treating you as an outsider so I should make some things clear to you." The county governor said, "Previously, you did not have many interactions with Yi Xiao but after the expedition to Green Tooth Mountain, you frequently came to County Governor Manor to see her. Occasionally, she would go to Qin Manor to see you… For a man and woman to meet privately in a lone yard without anyone present would tend to make people have wild thoughts once it reaches a certain frequency."

Qin Yun was slightly startled.

Yes, in order to deal with Water God, they had frequently met to discuss the plans in detail.

Qin Yun was taken aback.

There were many mortals but it was very rare for mortals to produce a woman of peerless beauty. There were very few cultivators. Even if cultivation could rejuvenate a person, making their mein extraordinary, they needed to be born pretty to be like Yi Xiao.

"There are probably many who court Miss Yi," said Qin Yun.

"I know there are many." The county governor said with a laugh. "There are many who do not dare court her too. Why? It's because there are three who are fervently courting her. Each of them has formidable backgrounds that scare away the rest. Those who dare court her are those with guts."

"Who are the three?" Qin Yun asked out of curiosity.

"The first is His Highness, Sixteenth Prince." The county governor said, "Human Emperor has established the Great Chang empire for more than three centuries. There aren't many princes, with only eighteen to date."

Qin Yun nodded.

Human Emperor ruled the world and had maintained his monarchy for more than three centuries. Just from his age, one could easily know that he was an unfathomable expert. Rumors said that Human Emperor cultivated in Godfiend heritage, and was one of the few peerless experts in the world.

Qin Yun was secretly alarmed.

He was at the Connate True Core realm at such a young age?

Divine Firmament Lightning Dharma? Out of all the Dharmic Dao, lightning reigned supreme. And among the Lightning Dharma, the Divine Firmament Lightning Dharma was the best! One had to know that the moment Divine Firmament Skylightning befell the world, it had unimaginable powers.

Qin Yun muttered to himself.

He knew. Of course, he knew!

"Thank you, Lord County Governor, for informing me," said Qin Yun.

The county governor nodded. "I'll leave it to you." With that said, he left.

Qin Yun had guessed it too.

"Compared to them, I'm only an itinerant cultivator." Qin Yun chuckled before walking out of County Governor Manor.

Days passed and in a blink of an eye, it was the nineteenth.

It was late into the night.

Qin Yun was sitting cross-legged on a bed in his room. Inside an incense cauldron, an incense stick was lit.

"Swoosh."

Quintessential Essence rapidly opened the big chest by the corner of the room. It was a chest that had been specially made-to-order. It opened to reveal fragments, all parts of the large axe! The large axe only had five hundred and fifty kilograms left after all the absorption. It was separated into several fragments and placed in the chest.

Being carried by Quintessential Essence, the fragments flew up and soon formed a pile inside the room.

"If I estimate it correctly, today is the day I will master my Intrinsic Flying Sword." Qin Yun had a strong presentiment as his mind stirred. The sword ball in his dantian rapidly transformed into a metallic sliver and left his dantian, surging through his veins and out his fingertip. It expanded upon contact with the surrounding air and grew to a length of three inches.

The flying sword remained bright silver in color. However, there was a blue nether glow suffusing from it.

With a thought, he controlled the flying sword to fly straight to a point above the axe fragments on the ground.

"Chi! Chi! Chi!"

As Qin Yun circulated his Dharma method, the flying sword once again had lustrous swirls on its surface. The fragments beneath it began flying up as points of light, infusing into the flying sword above.

One second after another passed by.

After about an hour, about fifteen kilograms of the metallic essence absorbed.

"Weng–"

The flying sword suddenly vibrated with a sword hum. Its absorption rates accelerated as the fragments beneath it rapidly disintegrated. Large swaths of light dots surged upwards at the floating three-inch-long flying sword. The speed of the absorption was the first Qin Yun encountered when cultivating his Intrinsic Flying Sword. The fragments of the large axe quickly reduced to dregs.

Qin Yun revealed an anticipant look, as his burning eyes stared at the flying sword. "It's the critical moment!"

The fervent absorption took only about ten minutes. When there were only about three hundred kilograms of fragments left, the Intrinsic Flying Sword's vibrations came to a halt. The sword hum paused and the room fell silent.

There was only a silver sword floating there with formless sword beams appearing at its tip.

"My baby."

Qin Yun revealed a look of glee.

An Intrinsic Flying Sword was nurtured through using one's Quintessential Essence and soul. By using his sword intent to nurture it daily, it had already become a part of his life over time. It was even more important than his limbs! Cultivators had means to regrow their severed limbs. But to have an Intrinsic Flying Sword destroyed, the effects would range from being severely injured to having his cultivation path completely severed!

Its destruction was equivalent to having half his life sliced off.

However, the prowess of a sword immortal stemmed from the Intrinsic Flying Sword! Without the Intrinsic Flying Sword, there was no way to demonstrate the strength of a sword immortal. Once the Intrinsic Flying Sword was mastered, it was when one's strength surged. Qin Yun had been relying solely on his heaven-defying Misty Rain Sword Intent to last this long.
