Zhu Xian: The way of heaven collapses, and I only have one sword!

Chapter 7 Nine Heavens Divine Weapons—Autumn Water Without Trace!
The next day, early in the morning.

The first ray of sunlight gently filtered through the window paper and fell onto the bed. Chen Qiye slowly awoke, feeling energized, his Tai Chi energy flowing joyfully through his meridians.

Recalling the exhilaration of breaking through the Fifth Realm in one day yesterday, Chen Qiye couldn't help but smile. After a quick wash, he went to the courtyard to stretch his muscles.

As soon as I stepped into the courtyard, I saw Taoist Master Daoxuan waiting there. Beside him was a long wooden box, which faintly exuded a powerful aura.

"Master!" Chen Qiye stepped forward quickly and saluted respectfully.

Taoist Master Daoxuan smiled and nodded, his eyes full of kindness. "Qiye, you are finally here. This is the magic weapon that Master promised to give you."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qiye's eyes flashed with anticipation, and his gaze was fixed on the long wooden box.

Taoist Master Daoxuan slowly raised his hand and opened the wooden box. In an instant, a flash of cold light passed by. A long sword with a slender blade and a blade engraved with ancient patterns lay quietly in the box. The blade seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mist, gleaming with a cold light like autumn water.

"This Nine Heavens Divine Weapon is called Qiu Shui Wuhen. It has gone through countless bloody storms and has been stained with the blood of countless powerful demons. Every pattern on it is a record of time and battles. It was my first sword, and now I give it to you." Taoist Master Daoxuan gently stroked Qiu Shui Wuhen, his voice full of emotion.

Chen Qiye couldn't help but reach out. As his fingertips touched the hilt, he felt a chill. Then, a repulsive force ripped him back three steps, nearly falling to the ground. After stabilizing himself, Chen Qiye's eyes were filled with surprise and resentment. He stared at the trembling Qiu Shui Wuhen in his hand, which seemed to be resisting, and his brows furrowed.

Seeing this, Taoist Master Daoxuan remained calm and spoke slowly, "Qi Ye, don't be anxious. The divine weapon has its own spirit and is choosing a master who can truly control it. Although you broke through the fifth realm in one day and have extraordinary talent, you still need some training to completely tame Qiu Shui Wuhen."

A hint of stubbornness flashed in Chen Qiye's eyes, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly. With a somewhat confident smile, he said, "Master, how about we make a bet? I bet that Qiu Shui Wuhen will recognize me as his master. If I win, you will allow me to enter the library to view the sword classics."

Taoist Master Daoxuan was slightly startled, then burst into a hearty laugh. "Alright, as you say! If you can convince Qiushui Wuhen to recognize you as your master today, I will allow you to enter the library and read the sword manuals."

Chen Qiye nodded, raised his hand and gestured towards Qiu Shui Wuhen, saying, "Come here!" Although his voice was not loud, it revealed an unquestionable momentum.

The Qiu Shui Wuhen sword trembled violently, but did not fly into his hand as he wished. Instead, it vibrated violently in the sword box, and sword energy overflowed, creating cracks in the surrounding ground.

"I told you to come here!" Chen Qiye shouted, his supreme sword intent bursting out of his body. In an instant, he was surrounded by a layer of sharp sword shadows, and the sword intent surged towards Qiu Shui Wuhen like a surging wave.

Under the impact of this powerful sword intent, Qiu Shui Wuhen's vibrations became more and more violent. The sword energy originally emitted collided with Chen Qiye's unique sword intent, making a "sizzling" sound, and the air was filled with a tense atmosphere.

"It's actually the sword intent!" A hint of surprise flashed in Taoist Master Daoxuan's eyes.

Sword intent is so rare for a sword cultivator, let alone someone like Chen Qiye who has only been practicing it for one day.

"Come over, what are you waiting for?" Chen Qiye's eyes seemed to be burning with flames, his fervent fighting spirit making his aura even more powerful. He approached Qiu Shui Wuhen step by step, and the ground trembled slightly with each step he took.

As he approached, Qiu Shui Wuhen's resistance reached its peak. The overflowing sword energy transformed into sharp blades, whistling towards Chen Qiye. However, Chen Qiye showed no fear. He fully mobilized his unique sword intent, forming an indestructible sword curtain in front of him, blocking out the sword energy. "Hmph, this little resistance can't stop me!" Chen Qiye growled.

The innate sword dao holy body suddenly exerted its strength, carrying with it the unrivaled and supreme sword intent, like a rolling torrent, surging towards Qiu Shui Wuhen. The sword body began to tremble violently.

"Submit to me!" Chen Qiye roared, his voice echoing throughout the courtyard.

He suddenly stretched out his right hand, his five fingers forming claws, and grabbed at Qiu Shui Wuhen through the air. This grab contained all his strength and will, and the air seemed to be torn apart by it, making a "crackling" sound.

Under the cover of the powerful sword intent, Qiu Shui Wuhen was finally unable to resist anymore. The sword body trembled violently, and then with a "whoosh", it flew straight into his hand.

Chen Qiye gripped the hilt firmly, feeling an unprecedented sense of harmony. The hazy mist on the Autumn Water Traceless Sword grew thicker, and the ancient patterns began to flicker with a faint light, as if expressing submission to its new master.

But Chen Qiye knew clearly that if Qiu Shui Wuhen's compatibility with him was 100%, then the old sword in his sea of ​​consciousness was definitely more than 100% compatible with him. At this moment, when Qiu Shui Wuhen recognized his master, the old sword actually made a subtle movement, trembling slightly in the depths of his sea of ​​consciousness, as if echoing Qiu Shui Wuhen, or issuing some kind of warning.

"Sister Fairy, are you jealous?" Chen Qiye raised the corners of his mouth slightly and teased silently to his sea of ​​consciousness.

Just as Chen Qiye was secretly teasing himself, the gentle voice of Sword Mother echoed again in his sea of ​​consciousness: "Little Qiye, how could I be jealous of a mortal sword? Although this Autumn Water Without Trace is also considered a divine weapon, compared to my immortal sword, it is just a firefly to the bright moon."

"Anyway, I know that Fairy Sister is the most powerful." Chen Qiye responded.

Mother Sword chuckled softly, her voice filled with a hint of doting: "Little Qiye is so sweet. However, since you have obtained this Autumn Water Without Trace, you must take better care of it in the future. After all, it is your sword now."

As soon as Chen Qiye finished communicating with Jian Ma in his sea of ​​consciousness, he felt the admiring gaze of Taoist Master Daoxuan.

"Qi Ye, you really did it! Your master never thought that you could make Qiu Shui Wuhen recognize you as your master in such a short time." Taoist Master Daoxuan's voice was full of relief.

Chen Qiye smiled as he sheathed Qiu Shui Wuhen and said respectfully to Taoist Master Daoxuan, "Thank you, Master, for your assistance. I will head to the library now."

Taoist Master Daoxuan nodded and waved his hand, signaling him to go quickly.

Upon entering the library, Chen Qiye felt a surge of ancient charm. The surrounding bookshelves were filled with a dazzling array of sword techniques, though most were commonplace. Books like the Divine Sword and Thunder Controlling Technique were not even included in the library.

Chen Qiye didn't care about these. For him, what he needed now was the basic sword moves, and then he could innovate and develop his own sword moves.

His fingertips slid across the sword manuals, his eyes searching the bookshelf. Finally, Chen Qiye found a copy of "Detailed Explanation of Basic Sword Styles" in a corner. Although it was worn, it was full of the charm of time.
