As long as one gains the sword intent's approval and becomes the host of the Xuan Yin Sword Intent, even if that person is a useless person who knows no martial arts, they can unleash the supreme power of the Twelve Xuan Yin Swords.
However, if an ordinary person wants to become the host of the Twelve Swords of Xuan Yin, they must take a great risk.
Because Xuan Yin's sword intent is extremely evil.
Becoming its host is, in a sense, equivalent to becoming its puppet, controlled by its evil sword intent.
In the original story, Wu Wudi's son, Xiao Wu, who had fully mastered the Twelve Swords of Xuan Yin, was unwilling to be controlled by the evil Xuan Yin Sword Intent. So the Xuan Yin Sword Intent abandoned its host without hesitation and left the body.
Therefore, the Twelve Swords of Xuan Yin is not a simple demonic sword technique at all!
However, this sword technique is astonishingly powerful, making it impossible to ignore.
In the original novel, Jian Chen, who had only mastered the first six sword techniques, was able to easily defeat Jue Xin and Wu Wudi, who had both consumed a Dragon Essence.
This clearly demonstrates just how earth-shattering and extraordinary this sword technique is.
To avoid being controlled by this evil sword intent, Li Yao used the Peerless Sword as an intermediary to absorb it.
During the absorption process, try to see if you can use the power of the divine stone to erase the evil intent within the sword intent.
If it cannot be erased, then he will abandon this sword intent and force it out of the Peerless Sword.
Fortunately, with the combined effect of the divine stone and the "Great Dao True Scripture," Li Yao was able to eradicate the evil intent of the Twelve Profound Yin Swords and absorb only its pure sword intent.
Of course, this time Li Yao not only absorbed the sword intent of the Twelve Profound Yin Swords, but also absorbed a lot of sword intent from the Sword Pool.
He didn't care about these sword intents; he would just have the system recycle them later and exchange them for some luck points.
What caught his eye was the sphere of divine soul attribute light that fell from the Demon Lord's body.
The Demon Lord is a spiritual entity with an exceptionally powerful soul.
Therefore, Li Yao gained a large amount of divine soul attributes this time.
"Huh? What happened here?"
Why has the color of the Sword Pool changed?
Suddenly, a surprised voice rang out.
A bald man with a grayish-green body appeared in Li Yao and Wuming's sight.
Chapter 241 The Tragedy of Jian Yue, The First Emperor's Sword (Revised)
Suddenly, a bald man, much shorter than the Demon Lord, appeared.
This guy had grayish-green skin all over his body, glowing with green light, and had some green stripes on his body. He looked more human than the Demon Lord.
"And who is he?"
Wuming was startled and couldn't help but ask Li Yao.
Li Yao smiled and said, "He should be Jian Yue, the first person to open and enter the Sword Realm. In fact, he is your senior."
Wuming was taken aback for a moment, "Senior?"
Li Yao nodded and said, "His original name was 'Jian Bei'. He was of the same generation as 'Jian Wu', the successor of the Sword Sect's founder, the Great Sword Master."
"Huh? After all these years, I didn't expect anyone would still remember me."
Jian Yue was surprised.
Li Yao frowned. Although this guy had extremely high talent in swordsmanship, he was a bit arrogant and annoying.
"So it's Senior 'Sword Sorrow'. This junior, Nameless, greets you with respect."
Wuming had heard of Jianbei's great reputation before, and a deep respect immediately appeared on his face.
"Hahaha...No need for formalities."
Jian Yue waved his hand dismissively, a smug and ferocious look spreading across his face.
Back then, he inadvertently opened the Sword Realm.
Because of his playful nature, he was attracted by the novel world of swords, and because time seemed to stand still there, he lingered there and forgot to leave.
Later, as more and more people practiced swordsmanship in the martial arts world, the sword realm absorbed more and more sword intent, making the sword realm larger and larger, and its barriers thicker and thicker.
When he finally remembered to leave the Sword Realm, he tragically discovered that he could no longer leave.
And so, he remained trapped in the Sword Realm.
After a long period of time, his physical body had long since died.
However, his sword spirit was constantly strengthened by the sword intent in the sword world.
He survived thanks to his inexhaustible sword intent.
That's why he's become this inhuman, ghost-like creature.
Jian Yue sensed the sword intent emanating from Wuming and asked, "Are you a member of the Sword Sect?"
Wuming respectfully replied, "That's me."
Jian Yue nodded, then pointed to the sword pool and asked, "By the way, what happened here just now? Why has the sword pool become so clear?"
Wuming pointed at Li Yao and explained, "Just now, this Brother Li killed the Demon Lord, and the Sword Pool became clear as a result."
"You killed the Demon Lord?"
Jian Yue was surprised and looked Li Yao up and down. He shook his head repeatedly and said, "Impossible, impossible. The Demon Lord is immortal and indestructible. He cannot be killed at all."
Wuming said, "Senior, the Demon Lord was indeed killed by this Brother Li. I saw it with my own eyes."
Jian Yue's eyes darted around, and he asked, "How did you get in?"
For him, whether the Demon Lord lived or died was irrelevant; what mattered was how he would leave this hellish place.
The nameless man replied, "It was through a sword duel between Brother Li and me that the Sword Realm was opened."
Jian Yue then asked, "So, you have a way to leave this hellhole?"
"This junior has no choice."
Wuming shook his head, then glanced at Li Yao and said to Jian Yue, "This young brother knows a lot about the Sword Realm, perhaps he knows."
A look of surprise flashed in Jian Yue's eyes as he looked at Li Yao and said in a commanding tone, "Kid, tell me quickly, how do we get out of this hellhole?"
Li Yao frowned and said calmly, "Since you have the ability to come in, why don't you have the ability to get out?"
A ferocious look appeared on Jian Yue's face as he stared intently at Li Yao and roared, "Boy, are you making fun of me?"
Li Yao raised an eyebrow, met Jian Yue's gaze, and laughed, "So what if I laugh at you?"
“Senior, Brother Li, we’re all in the same boat, we should work together to find a way out.”
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Wuming quickly stepped in as a peacemaker.
"Kid, I'll make you pay for laughing at me today."
Jian Yue, however, showed no appreciation whatsoever, and a fierce glint appeared in his eyes.
Then, he reached out and beckoned to the distance.
Suddenly, a long sword roared as it flew from a distant sword mountain and landed in his hand.
It was a broad-bladed longsword, as if carved from stone. The sword was three and a half fingers wide and four feet and three-tenths feet long. Its shape was heavy and imposing, exuding an air of royalty.
"A fine sword!"
Wuming's eyes lit up.
"Of course it's a good sword, this is Lao Tzu's 'First Emperor Sword'."
A smug look flashed across Jian Yue's face.
Then, he looked coldly at Li Yao and shouted, "Today I will use this First Emperor's sword to kill you, you arrogant brat."
As soon as he finished speaking, he unleashed an endless sword beam, slashing straight at Li Yao.
"I've been wanting to test your swordsmanship!"
Li Yao brandished his peerless sword, creating a series of sword flowers as he met the attack.
Jian Yue was the first to open the Sword Realm, so his swordsmanship was naturally extremely high.
Li Yao learned various sword techniques from the myriad worlds, and his swordsmanship was extraordinary.
Therefore, their battle was incredibly exciting, with flashing swords.
Wuming originally wanted to persuade Li Yao and Jian Yue, but when he saw their battle, he became mesmerized and stared at the two fighting without blinking.
"Boy, your swordsmanship is quite skilled, no wonder you're so arrogant!"
Jian Yue sneered, a smug look on his face, "Very well, I'll show you the power of Ten Thousand Swords Returning to One."
As soon as he finished speaking, he swung his sword and unleashed a fierce and unparalleled sword force from his body. His figure transformed into a wisp of green smoke, and the force spread in all directions.
Countless sharp swords flew about like a storm.
Swords flew everywhere, their movements like a net, sharp and unparalleled, a truly magnificent sight.
"Is this what they mean by 'Ten Thousand Swords Return to One'?"
Wuming gasped inwardly.
"Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin" is a supreme manual that countless swordsmen dream of, unfathomable and created by the nameless ancestral master, Sword Venerable.
At this time, Wuming had not yet mastered the "Ten Thousand Swords Return to One" technique.
Nameless was extremely excited to witness the Return of Ten Thousand Swords to the Source.
"Good timing!"
Li Yao became excited.
He was eager to witness the legendary "Return of Ten Thousand Swords" technique.
He swung his sword, unleashing the sword intent of the newly learned 'Twelve Profound Yin Swords'.
Twelve seemingly real yet ethereal sword energies, imbued with life, burst forth from the Peerless Sword, accompanied by eerie sounds, sweeping outwards.
The surrounding space seemed to be breaking and twisting inch by inch, and an endless sword intent spread out in all directions.
