Wang Mu felt a bit of a chill on his scalp, and for an instant, he felt as though he had been seen through once again.

"You're right," Yan Qingwu took the brocade box. "Since that's the case, let me teach you another Sword technique from Heavenly Sword Peak."

At that moment, Yan Qingwu beckoned gently, and a green bamboo spontaneously uprooted itself and flew into her hand, transforming into a delicate Bamboo sword.

"The Brotherhood Nine Sword Technique of our Heavenly Sword Peak is an Immortal Sword Technique I created back then, based on a set of swordsmanship..."

Yan Qingwu's voice was as cold as an icy spring, carrying with it a mind-piercing Sword Intent.

Is this really something you created? Wang Mu thought. I remember this swordsmanship; wasn't it created together in the game… More accurately, it was created by the protagonist and Yan Qingwu after they went through various ups and downs, together on the back mountain of her Sect.

Wang Mu remembered that part of the plot very clearly.

This original swordsmanship could only be fully learned by earning Yan Qingwu's favor. If one followed other routes, Yan Qingwu would not be able to create the Love Nine Swords; it could only be created together with the protagonist. Furthermore, this swordsmanship wasn't acquired in the late stages of the game. It could be obtained in the Mid Stage. Because by the Mid Stage, Yan Qingwu's romantic storyline with the protagonist had already become quite clear.

In the original storyline, after the protagonist and Yan Qingwu destroyed a series of villainous schemes together, they returned to their home Sect, the Yunxia Sword Sect, only to discover that her master, Sect Leader Zi Yun of the Yunxia Sword Sect, was one of the masterminds behind many of the plots. This was a huge blow to Yan Qingwu at the time. After defeating Sect Leader Zi Yun alongside the protagonist, she went with him to the back mountain of the Sword Sect, where her emotional turmoil underwent a significant change. She had been an orphan since childhood, raised by Sect Leader Zi Yun. Her master, who was over fifty and like a mother to her, was someone for whom she held very genuine and pure feelings. From a young age, she had been taught to prioritize chivalry, to help the strong and support the weak, and many other Righteous principles. Who would have thought that this Sect Leader had, behind the scenes, committed so many heinous deeds…

When her beliefs collapsed, fortunately, the protagonist chose to stay by her side, which led to the storyline of them creating their own swordsmanship. If the protagonist had not been there, then in the subsequent plot, Yan Qingwu would have sealed the Yunxia Sword Sect, immersed herself in the Sword Dao, become a Sword Demon, and withdrawn from worldly affairs. She would only appear in the final battle, where, as the White-haired Sword Demon, she would slay many powerful experts from the antagonist's camp before falling in battle. That's right, if you don't pursue her route, Yan Qingwu's ending is death. A death most valiant and tragic.

If the protagonist were by her side, then at that moment, on the solitary peak behind the Yunxia Sword Sect, they would comprehend the ultimate truths of the Sword Dao together and create a set of swordsmanship. That is the highly powerful early to Mid Stage super-weapon, the Love Nine Swords. This set of swordsmanship is also the culmination of the protagonist's and Yan Qingwu's emotional bond. It is fueled by the depth of emotion in one's heart; the deeper the love, the stronger the swordsmanship's power, making it theoretically the most powerful swordsmanship in the game. In reality, however, its effectiveness wasn't as good as expected; it could only be used during the Mid Stage. There were too many powerful types of swordsmanship in the later stages.

However, it was only after Wang Mu achieved the Love Saint ending that he understood the truly terrifying power of this swordsmanship. Because, in the game, this swordsmanship's power bonus wasn't just amplified by feelings for Yan Qingwu. The more female leads the protagonist had feelings for, the greater this swordsmanship's power boost became. Wang Mu didn't notice at first. It wasn't until the later stages, when he was focused on achieving the Love Saint ending, that he discovered this swordsmanship's power was mysteriously increasing, and then he finally understood… Later, Wang Mu had complained that this thing was basically a 'Womanizer Swordsmanship.' It was indeed quite satisfying. Especially after forming relationships with all the romanceable female leads, this swordsmanship's power boost reached its upper limit, and it was incredibly satisfying to use. In the final battle, one could almost defeat a villainous expert with a single move. Only the final boss was a bit more challenging. Of course, this was limited to the swordsmanship in the game.

As for what the current Sword technique was like, Wang Mu felt it was hard to say. After all, Yan Qingwu had modified it into a Sword technique.

"With your current Cultivation..." Yan Qingwu held the Bamboo sword, "you just need to learn the First Form for now."

"This First Form is called the Shaping Consciousness Sword."

As she spoke, there was a flash of sword light from Yan Qingwu, and the Bamboo sword suddenly soared into the air, then fiercely slashed downward.

The moment it slashed down, the Bamboo sword split into two halves, as if imbued with a soul, and in that moment of separation, it unleashed a terrifying force that fell towards Wang Mu's position.

Wang Mu was dumbfounded.

The horrifying Sword Intent, as if devoid of all emotion, seemed to shake the very Heavenly Vault, descending above Wang Mu.

He instinctively tried to dodge, but found his body locked in place, unable to move an inch.

Damn it! What kind of crappy Sword technique is this… No, wait, why is she using it on me?

He looked towards Yan Qingwu, just in time to see her narrowing her eyes, her gaze seemingly filled with endless murderous intent as if she was devoid of all emotion, becoming one with that sword.

At the moment of its descent, Wang Mu felt as though he had been cleaved in two.

After a moment, he patted himself down. He seemed to be still intact.

So, he looked up at the sky. The distant Cloud Sea was divided in two, and even the sunset clouds on the horizon were split asunder.

Wang Mu was speechless.

If that had landed on me, I'd be stone-cold dead by now, right? Wang Mu glanced around; he hadn't felt a strong ripple of Spiritual Power just now. It was purely terrifying, pure Sword Intent. As if it intended to sever all ties with heaven and earth. But when he looked back at the Bamboo sword, it was still in Yan Qingwu's hand, completely unscathed.
