“Yes, that’s true, temperament is indeed very important.” Zhang Yun nodded slightly and said, “However, what I want to talk about today is not temperament.”
"What is that?" Zhuo Xinyan narrowed her eyes.
"The reason why sword cultivators are powerful is because of their understanding and application of the sword. Of course, in addition to that, they also need a sword that suits them."
"A sword that suits you?" Zhuo Xinyan seemed to understand but not quite: "I heard before that after sword cultivators enter the Heavenly Gang realm, they will take their sword as their Heavenly Gang. When using the Heavenly Gang, it is as if it is part of their own body, and they can exert the power of the Heavenly Gang to the greatest extent."
"Not bad." Zhang Yun nodded slightly, gazing at Zhuo Xinyan with considerable satisfaction.
"However, besides the Heavenly Gang, how can one become stronger?" Zhang Yun asked again.
"I don't know," Zhuo Xinyan replied.
“Besides the sword energy I have condensed myself, I believe that a sword cultivator must also possess a sword, a sword that is unparalleled in the world.” A smile slowly appeared on Zhang Yun’s lips.
"A sword unparalleled in the world?" Zhuo Xinyan was quite shocked. For her master to describe it as unparalleled in the world, one could imagine how powerful this sword was.
"But where can we find such a peerless sword?"
“Of course it’s here.” Zhang Yun smiled, and then with a wave of his hand, he took out a sword from his inner world.
The intense white light was dazzling and radiant, instantly illuminating the entire main hall of the myriad realms, as if even the sunlight outside the windows had lost its color. "My body contains the myriad realms of the heavens..."

Chapter 282 The Immortal-Slaying Sword
"This...this is..." Zhuo Xinyan was shocked, her eyes widened, both surprised and delighted.
She had practiced swordsmanship since childhood and had seen many precious swords, but she was certain that she had never seen a sword so magnificent that even the rising sun paled in comparison!
What is a peerless sword?
That's it!
Master was right after all.
"This sword is neither copper, nor iron, nor steel. It is one of the four precious swords formed by combining three of the three thousand eight hundred primordial purple energies after Pangu created the world with the Chaos Sword Essence. It is named the Immortal Slaughtering Sword," Zhang Yun explained, causing Zhuo Xinyan's heart to tremble again.
"The Immortal Execution Sword, what an imposing name."
"Zhu Xian is just a metaphor. As your cultivation level increases, this sword will be much more than just Zhu Xian."
Zhang Yun said with a serious expression, "However, this sword is extremely powerful, possessing heaven-defying might. Therefore, the user is prone to developing the idea of ruling the world and being devoured by its fierce energy. However, I have sealed the heaven-defying power of this sword, and it will increase as your cultivation level improves."
"Master means to pass on this sword... pass it on..." Zhuo Xinyan's mouth gaped open in surprise, somewhat unable to believe it.
From her master's description, she naturally knew how powerful the sword was. Her master had actually passed on such a precious sword, comparable to a divine weapon, to her.
For a moment, Zhuo Xinyan was flattered and didn't know what to say.
"Remember what I said, calm your mind, and don't let the Immortal Execution Sword backfire on you." Zhang Yun reminded her again. This was something he had painstakingly obtained from his inner world, but if it backfired, it would be a loss. So he had to remind Zhuo Xinyan again and again.
However, he also believed that with Zhuo Xinyan's temperament and comprehension, she was capable of wielding the Zhuxian Sword. As long as Zhuo Xinyan kept her mind steady and was not devoured by the malevolent energy, and with his guidance, there should not be any major problems.
Once the Zhuxian Sword has reached a certain level of proficiency, Zhuo Xinyan's own strength will also increase exponentially, making cross-border combat a piece of cake.
That way, when he's not by Zhuo Xinyan's side, she can protect herself well.
"Yes, Master, I understand." Zhuo Xinyan replied respectfully, her beautiful eyes overflowing with surprise and gratitude.
She will always remember her master's guidance and kindness, and will never let her master down.
She felt lucky to have met a mentor like Zhang Yun in her life.
“You may not fully understand the power of the Immortal Execution Sword yet.” Zhang Yun thought for a moment and said, “Let me put it this way: if your cultivation reaches the late stage of the Star Realm, even ordinary early-stage Immortal Realm experts might not be your match.”
"The Immortal Execution Sword..." Zhuo Xinyan murmured, gazing at the Immortal Execution Sword in Zhang Yun's hand.
"Take it," Zhang Yun suddenly said.
Zhuo Xinyan subconsciously reached out to catch it, but the moment she touched the Zhuxian Sword, she felt a powerful aura of malevolence surge from her palm, up her arm, and directly into her brain, causing her mind to go blank.
"I am the strongest, and everything in the world must submit to my feet!"
Zhuo Xinyan's eyes were filled with boundless ferocity, but she instantly regained her composure and quickly withdrew her hand.
"Master, what did I just say?" Recalling her behavior just now, Zhuo Xinyan's expression was not good, and she was a little scared.
Just now, she actually had the idea of unifying the Cloud Sky Continent and trampling everyone under her feet. Moreover, it was a terrifying thought that almost filled her entire body, as if she had been electrocuted.
"I already said, you need to calm down first." Zhang Yun narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression somewhat displeased.
Zhuo Xinyan could only lower her eyes, a hint of self-reproach flashing in them.
"Disciple knows he was wrong."
"It's good that you admit your mistake. Now calm down and try to take the Zhuxian Sword from my hand after you are completely relaxed."
Zhang Yun spoke up, saying that the malevolent energy within the Zhuxian Sword was even more powerful than he had imagined, making it seem as if Zhuo Xinyan had to try dozens of times before she could barely hold the Zhuxian Sword in her hand.
However, Zhuo Xinyan's performance was already considered extraordinary. If it were any other ordinary sword cultivator, they probably would never be able to wield the Zhuxian Sword in their entire lives. Even if they could, they would be devoured by the sword's malevolent energy, causing the sword to turn against them and the sword cultivator to become its slave.
"Now, use the Zhuxian Sword to cut your finger and let the blood flow into the blade," Zhang Yun instructed.
"Yes, Master." Zhuo Xinyan nodded. Although she didn't know why her master wanted her to do this, she still obediently cut her finger.
