The moment the star orbits on the surface of the Bronze Casket touched the blood from Lin Xuan’s fingertip, the gale-force winds of the Sword-Wailing Ruins condensed into tangible sword intent. Lin Xuan shattered three Sun-Eclipsing Curse steps, and the Greedy Wolf Mark beneath his feet spun in reverse, forming a Guixu Whirlpool. Within the fragments of the "Life-Devouring Heavenly Book" that rose from the vortex, a bloody scene manifested: the First Ancestral Witch using the remains of the Heartless Curse stele as an anvil and Su Jiuli’s "Fear Soul" as a hammer to forge the Tribulation-Devouring Life Sword.
"Stele awakens, sword perishes!"
The remains of the Heartless Curse stele suddenly detached from the roots of the peach tree, its tadpole-like runes erupting with azure light. Lin Xuan struck out with his palm, shattering the incoming sword intent, only to discover that what the stele had been suppressing was not an evil spirit, but the Reincarnation Pond of the First Star Palace’s forbidden grounds. Floating at the bottom of the pond were three hundred and sixty broken bronze swords, each with the name Su Jiuli used during her reincarnations engraved on its hilt. The ends of the faded red silks wrapped around the blades were tied to the very location of Lin Xuan’s sword-burial mound from his past life.
