After hearing the Skyscraping Sword Venerable’s words, Xing Caijian immediately became filled with apology and guilt. “Senior, I truly must apologise. I was not aware that awakening your lingering will would prematurely bring upon your end. If I had known that, I would have never disturbed you, senior.”

    The Skyscraping Sword Venerable waved his hand. He was unconcerned. “There’s no need to blame yourself. This is an agreement that I had with your father. Even if you didn’t awaken my lingering will today, someone else would have done it.”

    “I’m just surprised that after all these years, the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor has actually had a daughter. If you weren’t carrying the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star as evidence, I would have never believed this.”

    The Skyscraping Sword Venerable looked at Xing Caijian with a hint of affection like he was treating her as his own descendant. Shortly afterwards, he looked at Jian Chen again, and his expression became mixed. “Back then, when I faced the experts of the Saints’ World, I was heavily surrounded and on the brink of death. At that critical juncture, it was the twin swords that burst through space and destroyed the formations set up by the experts of the Saints’ World with a single sword Qi, which allowed me to survive.”

    “But unfortunately, my injuries were far too heavy. I was long beyond help. I managed to survive that battle, but I would follow the footsteps of my predecessors before long...”

    Reaching there, the Skyscraping Sword Venerable seemed to remember some matters of the past. He could not help but say, “Our Immortals’ World was far more vulnerable during the war back then. Whether it was Immortal Monarchs, Immortal Emperors, or Immortal Exalts, the Saints’ World completely outnumbered us. As a result, as soon as the war began, our Immortals’ World suffered tremendous casualties with many experts dead.”

    “If the old senior had not sent the twin swords to slay a large number of experts from the Saints’ World at that critical juncture, shrinking the difference in strength between the two sides, the consequences would have been unimaginable.”

    “It was a pity that I didn’t manage to survive the aftermath of that war...”

    Towards the end, the Skyscraping Sword Venerable’s face was filled with pain and pity.

    Jian Chen obviously knew who the old senior that the Skyscraping Sword Venerable referred to was. He was clearly the previous master of the twin swords.

    In the Saints’ World, the old master of the twin swords had swathes of enemies because he killed many of their experts during that war.

    But in the Immortals’ World, the old master of the twin swords possessed an extraordinary reputation, having made significant contributions to the world. Many supreme figures treated him as their saviour.

    At that moment, if someone could pass through the various formations inside the Skyscraping World, it would be quite obvious to see that the immeasurable spiritual Qi deep underground was all surging towards one direction.

    The terrifying spiritual Qi accumulated in the sword pool, turning into a blinding ball of light that encased the Spiritual Fruit of Sword Nurturing, which made it grow at a startling rate.

    At this speed, the Spiritual Fruit of Sword Nurturing would climb to a higher grade in less than a year, let alone three.

    “This will make the world run dry sooner, but all of this is worth it as long as I can help the two of you...” the other half of the Skyscraping Sword Venerable’s lingering will hovered above the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star and said emotionally.

    Compared to before, he seemed even more feeble now. He was like a wisp of smoke that could disperse in the wind at any moment.

    “Skyscraping, we heard that you left behind a few seeds of ways in the past. If you really want to help us, then give us the seeds of ways. Our master is in need of them.” Zi Ying demanded without holding back.

    The Skyscraping Sword Venerable became troubled. “I did indeed leave behind some seeds of ways in the past, but these seeds of ways are protected by numerous formations. These formations are so powerful that even Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalts would struggle to breach them. These formations will only open once the corresponding conditions are met, and then they will cast out a seed of ways...”

    “If I were still alive, retrieving the seeds of ways would not be difficult, but I’m just a feeble wisp of lingering will now. I’ve lost many of my abilities. All I can do is barely accelerate the growth of the Spiritual Fruit of Sword Nurturing. Everything else is already beyond my abilities.”

    The Skyscraping Sword Venerable bowed deeply towards the sword spirits and said, “After splitting off a part of my lingering will, the time I have left was shortened even further, so I cannot remain here for much longer. Otherwise, I’m afraid that I would not be able to uphold my past agreement with the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor.”

    “Little fellow, there isn’t a lot that I can do for you, so let me teach you a technique. With this technique, you can control the spiritual Qi within a range of ten thousand kilometres in this world. Hopefully, it will be of help...”

    After leaving behind a secret technique, the Skyscraping Sword Venerable and Xing Caijian left.
