Be the Hardest Working Demon Cultivator!

The thirteenth floor of the Sword Tower was rumored to have been forged based on a failed product of a spiritual treasure. Once someone entered this thirteenth floor, no matter their cultivation level, they would quickly lose their sense of direction and then succumb to exhaustion and death under the relentless and random attacks of sword qi.

However, at the moment, the sword qi wasn't random but targeted in its attacks.

It was clearly under the control of something.

But under the oppression of the Sword Heart Universe's Sword Dao realm, these sword qi were suppressed without the power to strike back. So soon, Tan Shuchang and Dongdong, the little girl, saw the "mastermind" behind all this.

As expected, it was that broken Immortal Sword.

It lay slanted in the ground, its body like jade, with only half remaining. The break was jagged like a dog's teeth, and slightly bent, as if it had been forcefully snapped.

There were blood-like patterns flowing endlessly on the blade, and a sinister aura lurked within, vaguely revealing the fierce and malevolent figure of a young girl.

This was the Sword Spirit of the broken Immortal Sword.

Upon seeing the appearance of this Sword Spirit, Tan Shuchang instantly understood why the little girl had been suddenly drawn to this thirteenth floor.

Her features were strikingly similar to those of the Sword Spirit, with a resemblance as high as ninety percent.

The sole difference was that one was gentle as water, timid and afraid, unsure how to refuse others; the other seemed like a ferocious beast choosing its prey, its eyes brimming with cunning coldness.

"A reincarnated Sword Spirit?"

Tan Shuchang felt instantly flooded with cliches.

Combining the fact that a certain little girl had mentioned in a letter to him that the orthodox plan of the Sword Mountain had been in the works for over a hundred years, it was hard not to suspect this was the work of Sword Mountain.

"Not a Sword Spirit, but a malevolent spirit," Dongdong said with a blank face. She seemed very displeased when looking at this Sword Spirit.

Because it was too similar.

At this moment, the Sword Spirit of the broken Immortal Sword was also quite displeased looking at the little girl, as the power of the Sword Dao realm of Sword Heart Universe was suppressing her fiercely.

Where there was a sword, the wielder of the Sword Heart Universe was equivalent to the will of the sword.

"A malevolent spirit?"

Upon hearing this, Tan Shuchang couldn't help falling into thought, then he asked, "Is that malevolent spirit considered a ghost?"

"Not now, because this Immortal Sword blocks the Yin energy from it."

"Can we extract this Sword Spirit?" Tan Shuchang inquired, because for some reason, his body was crazily signaling him to "devour" this Sword Spirit.

Especially his blood, which surged with an urge to burst forth from his body.

This urge was even stronger than when he first encountered that "Peach Master."

"Dig it out then!"

Dongdong said emotionlessly, passing her top-grade flying sword to Tan Shuchang.

Tan Shuchang took the sword, somewhat astonished.

Then he tried to pry and found that it indeed could be pried out because the overwhelming power in the flying sword left the Sword Spirit unable to struggle.

Being the lifebound flying sword of a Sword Heart Universe wielder, this top-grade flying sword naturally possessed a portion of the Sword Heart Universe's power.

"If you want this Sword Spirit, it's best not to take it outside; otherwise, I feel uncontrollable incidents might occur," Dongdong said to Tan Shuchang, her small hands propped against her cheek, looking at him with a wooden expression after a while.

"No need to take it outside."

Tan Shuchang handed the flying sword back to the little girl, for he had already extracted the Sword Spirit.

Then, blood spread across his palm, instantly enveloping the Sword Spirit.

As the blood disappeared, so did the Sword Spirit.

It was suppressed by Tan Shuchang's Coexistent Blood Pool.

"Is this also a part of that 'Cross Calamity Immortal Scripture' you created?" Dongdong couldn't help but widen her beautiful eyes in surprise and curiosity.

After all, cultivation techniques involving blood were, by reason, supposed to be filled with nefarious Qi, yet she saw a divine golden glow in the materialized blood.

"Of course not, this is innate to me," Tan Shuchang replied, turning his head for a glance at the little girl, then seriously added.

Dongdong looked back at Tan Shuchang, then said with her expressionless face, "You can go deceive that one from earlier with those words; she looks easier to fool."

"Can you still suppress these sword qi?"

"For two hours," Dongdong replied without hesitation, "Because I have to go back in two hours."

"Half an hour will do."

Tan Shuchang said, and then he sat down cross-legged.

Blood surged forth, but it was in that same instant that Tan Shuchang vanished into thin air right before the little girl's eyes.

"Hmm?" The little girl with the blank expression blinked, unable to detect Tan Shuchang's whereabouts.

This made her feel incredulous.

Under Sword Heart Universe, everything within this thirteenth floor was supposed to be under her control.

"Did he really create a demonic cultivation technique that isn't inferior to 'Shadow Retaining Immortal Secret Tome'?" Suddenly, Tan Someone's image in Dongdong's mind inexplicably grew a bit taller.

At this moment, Tan Shuchang was still within the thirteenth floor of the Sword Tower, but the power inherited from his mother allowed him to create his own domain temporarily.

His Blood Pool surged, constantly cleansing the Sword Spirit full of malevolent Qi.

However, it could only be said that worthy of being the Sword Spirit of an Immortal Sword, even though the sword was broken, this Sword Spirit might have undergone some changes, resulting in it turning into a malevolent spirit, but the difficulty of refining it was still about three to four times that of the "Peach Master!"
