Shi Feiyang decided not to destroy the Demon Sword, firstly because it reminded him of his own bitter past as an outcast, feeling a deep empathy, and secondly because of the Earth Evil 72 Transformations.

The metaphysical is called Dao, the physical is called a tool.

Innate Dao Body is the basis, Acquired Skill is the application, Immortal Cultivation seeks the Innate, aiming for eternal life, but Immortals are not just merely existing and living like minerals and plants.

One must harness the Innate and employ the Acquired, grasp the great Dao and generate All Techniques. It is only when Innate gives rise to Acquired that life is called, and Dao can only exert its effect through skills.

Merely emphasizing the Innate over the Acquired, and the great Dao over skills, would only lead to lofty ideals without practical skills, living in a fantasy detached from reality.

Shi Feiyang had long reached "Seeing Dao" and was on the path of "Proving Dao" and "Grasping Dao." He could create suitable Cultivation Techniques for each person, which was the most basic "Dao Generates All Laws", but he was still in a very preliminary stage.

He wanted to complete the Liangyi Six Harmonies Microdust Formation and had just started. He wanted to comprehend the Heavenly Gang 36 Transformations and the Earth Evil 72 Transformations but hadn't even begun.

This time, originally intended to enter the world, to understand deeply the mysteries of the 72 transformations, now that he had acquired the Demon Sword, he still lacked any leads on the transformations.

The experiences of this sword provided him significant insights.

The Earth Evil 72 Transformations must be various changes that occur with everything in the world following the Heavenly Dao.

In the past, he only studied the Heavenly Dao, from which he explored the great Dao and established the path of humanity; the former involved delving deeper into the cosmic root and essence, while the latter involved turning towards all things in the world, towards the Acquired, and towards the physical direction, using Heavenly Dao as the entry point, then moving in two diametrically opposite directions.

Keeping this sword would definitely be of great help for his future understanding of the Earth Evil 72 Transformations!

Shi Feiyang wasn't worried about being deceived by the Demon Sword, for instance, whether Monk Yichen truly ascended to Nirvana or was stealthily killed by him could be discerned by Gua Xiang divination.

He instructed the Sword Spirit to release all the souls inside the sword.

The Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword could absorb a person's Essence Blood and Soul, and after each killing, unless someone was of exceptionally high Mana, their Divine Soul would be drawn into the sword, with many Souls shattered, leaving only remnants.

The Sword Spirit released the Souls, including those of Zhao Xinyuan and the disciples of the Eight Demons of Sichuan from earlier, as well as those he had killed in the past; Shi Feiyang infused a surge of positive energy into each Soul, allowing them to reincarnate on their own.

These Souls were more or less traumatized, largely confused and senseless; blowing away with the wind, they were likely to enter the Beast Path, with the most fragmented Souls becoming various small insects, slightly better ones becoming reptiles, and the best possibly becoming birds or mammals.

The Sword Spirit did not lie; there weren't many human Souls, but there were plenty of chickens, ducks, and geese, especially chickens, which were particularly numerous, releasing a few hundred live chicken Souls first...

"Good grief, you must have merged with the Primordial Spirit of a weasel! People wouldn't know and think I'm running a chicken farm here!"

After dealing with this, Shi Feiyang intended to seal the Demon Sword, but at the last moment changed his mind, took a sword case, placed the sword inside, and called Li Zhenchuan to carry it for him.

He released the prohibitions on the three hundred plus Jianghu knights. These people were immobile just before and witnessed everything. Now, set free, they immediately came forward to kneel and kowtow, pleading to be taken as disciples: "We were blind earlier, not recognizing an Immortal had descended... I have longed for the Dao since childhood, please take me under your wing..."

With over three hundred people shouting together, Shi Feiyang waved his hand for them to be silent, "This sword is called the Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword, even ordinary Sword Immortals cannot control it, and with slightly lacking Dao power, backlash is inevitable. You should not even think about it; the other swords were replicas he made, you can indeed use those. I came here specifically to prevent it from harming the world, now that I have it, it's time for me to leave."

The group begged tirelessly, each recounting how difficult it was to seek the Dao and Immortals, pleading for compassion to be taken under his wing, even if just to sweep the courtyard or guard the gate.

Naturally, Shi Feiyang would not take so many disciples. Suddenly, he sensed someone trying to break the formation outside, which surprised him, and he waved his hand, retracting the Liangyi Dust Formation in the sky, turning the golden light and colorful clouds back into twelve Jade Talismans, which fell back into his hand.

Outside, a girl in a cyan dress was using her left hand to cast spells, releasing rainbow-like blasts, attacking the Death Gate of the formation at the stairs.

Shi Feiyang had previously closed the formation gate, blocking the rainbow with surging dark clouds, hovering and never yielding an inch; suddenly disappearing, the girl thought she had broken through and proudly said, "It's not that impressive, huh!"

Previously, when the formation had twelve gates raised simultaneously, golden light and colorful clouds isolated the inside from the outside; apart from Shi Feiyang himself, those inside couldn't see outside, and those outside couldn't see inside.

Outside, over seven hundred people Shi Feiyang had driven away, feeling extremely resentful, and even someone exclaimed, "That man may be strong in Inner Strength, but with so many of us, if we attack together, he won't withstand it, we'll surely be able to chop him into pieces!"

They tried returning to the summit but couldn't get past the dark clouds, cursing and making noise incessantly.

Just as they were causing a commotion, suddenly, a blue sword light flew from the other side of the mountain, landing on a cliff and revealing a young girl in blue.

The crowd of Jianghu heroes was dumbstruck, "It's a Sword Immortal, and a young Fairy at that!"
