When Wang Ye opened his eyes, what he saw was still the sword storage room with countless ancient swords hanging.
All the scenes he had seen just now disappeared like a wisp of smoke.
He Xingu was staring into space, and so was the sword rabbit.
An old man was staring at him with a strange gaze.
Deng, deng, deng!
He Xingu looked at Wang Ye in horror and took a few steps back.
“?” Wang Ye.
What was going on?
Logically speaking, only he could see what had happened just now, right?
He Xingu pointed at Wang Ye and stuttered, “You… you… you can’t be the descendant of Divine Sword Deity, right? What did you do just now? How could it cause such a huge commotion?”
A huge commotion?
Wang Ye’s heart moved as he looked at the ancient sword.
At this moment, the phenomenon had disappeared.
This was the first time he used the brilliant gold characteristic, but it had caused a huge commotion?
Or was it just because of the ancient sword?
“Of course not,” Wang Ye explained, “I just comprehended the sword intent inside the sword. The sword intent contained traces of the life and deeds of Divine Sword Deity.”
They would probably find a brilliant gold characteristic in a human incomprehensible, so Wang Ye could only explain it this way.
“You said that you comprehended that sword technique?” The old man’s gaze instantly sharpened, “The sword technique couldn’t be comprehended by any of the beastmasters and pets in Tianji Sword Dojo for the past hundred years…”
“That’s right,” Wang Ye nodded and looked at the old man.
“Come, show me!” The old man’s eyes were heated. He stretched out his hand and grabbed at the air, and one of the suspended swords fell into his hand, “What sword technique is this exactly?”
The sword rabbit at the side jumped in excitement.
It was rare for it to be this excited.
Its beastmaster’s talent was even more powerful than its talent!
Wang Ye fell silent.
“I’m sorry, but I can’t,” Wang Ye shook his head.
“Why?” The old man’s voice was firm, “You don’t have to worry about anything. Just use it on me. I don’t have much time left. I want to see for myself just how exquisite the sword technique the Deity spent his entire life creating in the dark fog was. Otherwise, I won’t be able to rest in peace. Just take it as satisfying an old man who is about to die?”
Although the sword technique was from Tianji Sword Dojo, it was comprehended by an outsider.
“Brother Wang, you don’t have to be afraid that we’ll learn it…” He Xingu smiled bitterly, “We haven’t been able to comprehend sword intent for so many years. Even if you hand it over to us personally, we might not be able to learn it, let alone use it.”
He thought perhaps the sword technique was extremely exquisite, so Wang Ye did not want to use it.
“That’s not it,” Wang Ye shook his head and sighed, “This sword technique is not meant to be used for others to see. You only know that this sword technique is called “Machine-fighting”, but in essence, this is a sword technique that specifically targets mechanical pets.”
Following that, under the stunned expressions of the two, Wang Ye told them about the origins of the sword technique.
After he finished speaking, the old man’s expression changed constantly. His eyes flashed with confusion, loss, shock, and many complicated emotions. His heart seemed to be undergoing a roller coaster of emotions…
“How is this possible…” He Xingu muttered, “Why did that senior create such a sword technique…”
“Perhaps, he had already expected that the mechanical pets would one day shine brilliantly in the era a hundred years later and dominate a region, I suppose?” Wang Ye recalled the scene where the Divine Sword Deity was facing the incomparably huge mechanical beast.
What was the powerful Deity thinking when facing such a gigantic beast?
In the country that had been blessed by the divine beast totem, the mechanical culture had invaded the pet civilization.
When alloy steel replaced the limbs of the pets, mysterious cores replaced the brains of the pets, and complicated engines replaced the hearts of the pets, extending to the limbs and bones, once the true mechanical consciousness appeared, would a pet still be a pet?
Wang Ye suddenly thought of the Xionggang Empire’s divine beast totem.
It was called the Divine Mechanical Rubik’s Cube, also known as the Master of Divine Machines.
In the Xionggang Empire, it was called the mechanical totem.
Legend had it that it was a type of consciousness with extremely high intelligence with unknown origins.
Out of the six great countries, all five countries except for Dongli had their respective divine beast totem.
These divine beast totems were not considered mysterious.
Within the countries of each totem belief, the totems all had statues. They created different pet contracts, leading humans and pets from different countries to unite and fight against the dark fog together.
The totems were the spiritual beliefs of their respective countries.
Recollecting his thoughts, Wang Ye looked at the two and said, “To be honest, you can learn it. It’s not that you can’t learn this sword technique just because you have a mechanical pet. It’s about whether or not you can use it after you learn it.”
He Xingu shook his head repeatedly.
He could not imagine himself using the scarlet light sword to perform a sword technique that was targeted to restrain mechanical pets.
He reckoned that he would be killed by the scarlet light sword instead after performing it.
After that, Wang Ye and He Xingu chatted about the matter of going to the Cloud Palace. Then, the former did not stay any longer in Tianji Sword Dojo. Instead, he set off straight back to Anping County.
“I’ve gained a lot from this trip.”
As a Deity’s inheritance sword skill, the Machine-fighting Sword Technique targeted mechanical pets. Even if Wang Ye didn’t use it himself, imparting it to the sword rabbit was equivalent to imparting another sword technique to it.
Therefore, after returning, Wang Ye immediately shared this technique with the sword rabbit.
It wasn’t a big deal for him to learn it. If his pet learned it, it could practice the technique in simulations. At that time, he could use reality simulation to gain skill proficiency.
Hmm… Damn, why did it feel like his pet had become a tool instead?
But this time, the sword rabbit used a full five simulations to learn the Machine-fighting Sword Technique. It only managed to learn the technique on the second day after they returned.
