Zhao Changhe remembered, when he had repelled Desolate Calamity and Feng Yin had launched a sneak attack, he shot an arrow into the sky and shouted vehemently, "The Heavenly Book is here, come and take it if you dare." In that moment, he felt as though even the Galaxy's momentum underwent a subtle change.

This was not just the Sky Sword, it was the Night Emperor's Sword, the Emperor Sword... and also Heavenly Emperor Level. The Galaxy Sword Intent contained a great part of "momentum," and if used only for sneak attacks, it really would be spoiled.

Zhao Changhe broke into a cold sweat, feeling relieved that he paid attention. If he really let this charming child be spoiled, he wouldn't be able to forgive himself.

Wait...

Since it was to command this sword, it was also to command the Star River...

Outside of the sword, Zhao Changhe's physical body suddenly stood up.

He had been worrying about how to find a way to command the Star River with his physical body, but the key had always been in his own hands.

He had a medium! He could first use the medium, and once he became proficient, he could do without it. That would be a natural progression to breakthrough. Why bother wracking his brain?

Zhao Changhe joyously lifted the Galaxy up high twice: "Thanks, little Star River. You've solved a big problem for me."

Star River's expressionless face revealed an extremely slight smile, as if being lifted high was fun. Of course, it was best to be able to help the master, to avoid the master always using the smug Dragon Sparrow as the main attack, and itself always relegated to being a mere sneak attack. It disliked seeing the smug look on Dragon Sparrow's face.

But sadly, the master still primarily cultivated the Saber Technique, and Swordsmanship had always been just an auxiliary skill to him from the start. Saying he was equally good with both saber and sword, to the people of the world Zhao Changhe was still represented by the saber. It was unlikely for him to switch to primarily using the sword; Star River knew their master, loyal as he was, would never abandon Sister Dragon Sparrow.

But it didn't matter to Star River, it didn't vie for that; it was more eager to grow up. For Sword Spirits, growing up meant getting stronger, and any Sword Spirit who didn't wish to reach Divine Grade wasn't a good Sword Spirit. With the current foundation, both it and Dragon Sparrow had a Divine Grade base; whether or not they could reach it would depend on their master's growth.

Zhao Changhe's spirit withdrew from the sword and suddenly yelled into the Void: "Xia Xia."

The blind one was speechless: "Don't keep calling me for no reason. Am I just someone to chat with?"

Before the words fell, Star River pierced straight through.

The blind one was taken aback to see a sky filled with Star Falls and the Galaxy reversed.

She yawned, waved her hand casually, and all the visions vanished completely. Zhao Changhe was hit by an invisible Qi Wall and stumbled backward, nearly falling on his butt, staggering several steps before steadying himself.

"With your little strength..." The blind one yawned and turned to leave: "You're wasting my ti... Wait, that's not right."

She suddenly turned around: "How did you know my position?"

Zhao Changhe steadied himself, smiling faintly: "Observing Qi."

"With your skill in observing Qi, you couldn't possibly discern my Qi."

"I observed the lines of cause and effect, faintly discernible in the Void. With no one else around, who else could it possibly be but you?"

The blind one fell silent for a long while, then spoke softly: "You can already see the lines of cause and effect?"

"I can see very faint lines, but I can't tell if they are the lines of cause and effect; I can only guess they are." Zhao Changhe laughed: "Doesn't that count as a significant improvement?"

"Although it's a shortcut by combining the use of Qi Veins and the Way of Cause and Effect, for someone who has just come into contact with this, achieving this much is not easy... Be aware that the strength of the person you observe can also affect the result. To be able to see my faint lines, normally a Demon God wouldn't be able to do that, even if I weren't on guard, that's quite impressive." The blind one became serious: "Supposedly your talent for this kind of thing is quite ordinary, so how did you manage so quickly?"

Zhao Changhe said: "Actually, many people forget that my real talents lie in Body Refining and the perceptiveness of Cultivation Techniques, and even the saber talent which I relied upon to traverse the world was at first just average, built up by chopping countless times each day."

The blind one said: "So what you mean is, ever since I told you about the lines of cause and effect, you've been simulating them non-stop in your sea of consciousness?"

Zhao Changhe nodded: "The Heavenly Book has a slowing effect, quite effective in aiding beginners. Over this period, I've probably simulated it over a thousand times..."

The blind one was actually quite impressed with his determination: "So what was the intent behind your stabbing at me with that sword?"

"I can endlessly simulate this sword within the Heavenly Book... Commanding the Star River, it's right before my eyes."

The blind one sneered, realizing he wasn't just practicing the Galaxy Defense, he was also trying to probe into her spontaneous gesture.

Sure enough, Zhao Changhe soon frowned: "Hey, you can't cheat, can you? What do you mean by hiding your move just now? I'm being open and honest with you, and this is how you play?"

The blind one said leisurely: "Whether you're open and honest with me or not is meaningless to me. I am the Chaotic World Book; you trying to delve into me is like trying to undress me in my presence, would I be unaware? You also only put up such a frank front because you knew this, aiming to get my agreement."

Zhao Changhe sighed: "You could choose a different description."

The blind one scoffed coldly: "That's all your little scheme. Go practice your Galaxy Defense, stop hoping to probe into my affairs."

As she spoke, her form once again vanished into the Void.

But Zhao Changhe suddenly shouted: "Little Star River looks quite like you."

The blind one stumbled, nearly falling out of the Void, but quickly responded indifferently: "I don't think I'm blind, you're the one who's blind. Which of those features resembles me at all?"

"You didn't let me see your eyes."

"..."

"Actually, when I said similar, I mainly meant in temperament. When you used to visit me in Dream Entry, you hung in the night, serene and lofty, like a nocturnal Goddess."

The blind one's voice remained even: "In that case, Jiuyou would be a closer match. Why do you say 'used to'? Isn't it the same now?"

"Now you're just a dud. Have you ever seen a sweaty soybean of a nocturnal Goddess?" Zhao Changhe lamented: "You've dropped all your cool points."

The blind one suddenly laughed: "Isn't that nice."

Of course, it was nice, unlike your Star River, preventing unnecessary guesses.

The blind one re-entered the Void, sighing deeply. Zhao Changhe's intuition was truly off the charts. It seemed best to speak as little as possible with him.

Little Star River... the blind one's Divine Thought entered the sword, looking at the little girl lying on the Star River, a faint smile on her face.

Little Star River gazed at her, her eyes black as the night sky, showing a trace of confusion.

Suddenly the sword began to quiver, and the stars inside twinkled, reflecting Zhao Changhe's repeated simulations of that sword strike, stars responding and glittering brightly.

The blind one sighed. With his talent, reaching the Imperial Realm was probably indeed just a matter of time. However, if he continued to be driven by a medium, it would only be considered "pseudo." The real barrier to breakthrough, the blind one could now see through the lines of cause and effect, and there were actually a dozen or so paths.

A man with a dozen methods to achieve Breakthrough.
