Chapter 698: Chapter 422: Purple Electric Sword Recognizing its Owner_1

Chen Mobai went straight to the fourth floor and opened the Purple Electric Sword’s Sword Box.

The luminous sword caught his eye, and compared to last time, the high-quality Spirit Stone beside it appeared slightly dimmer.

The Purple Electric Sword had always been sealed, preserved at its lowest level of spiritual energy to prevent degradation.

However, after the last round of the selection process began, Hao Cao unsealed the sword. Consequently, the Purple Electric Sword’s demand for spiritual energy had greatly increased.

The Spirit Stone was naturally spent more quickly and was almost exhausted.

Without any hesitation, Chen Mobai, as taught by Hao Cao, meditated, connecting his mind and heart with the Rank-4 sword.

...

A beam of light burst from the hilt of the Purple Electric Sword, connecting with Chen Mobai’s divine sense.

In an instant, purple light flickered.

When Chen Mobai came back to his senses, he found himself in a mysterious space.

Here, in a boundless expanse of nothingness, deep purple lightning pulsed. The Purple Electric Sword was diagonal in front of Chen Mobai. A purple-red radiance illuminated from the blade, forming a ball of light the size of a human head.

The light ball manifested facial features, and then was shaped into a small round face. Its features were blurred, but those pair of clear azure eyes were sharp and cold, like a sword.

In the Immortal Path, Rank-5 magic artifacts possess a complete spirit, almost indistinguishable from a human.

As a Rank-4 sword, The Purple Electric Sword had evolved a spirit, but only had the simplest thinking. Even so, because it retained most of its previous owner’s memories, basic thought processes were still intact.

“I pay respect to Elder Purple Electric Sword,” Chen Mobai bowed formally, treating it as an elder cultivator from the Dance Tool Dao Academy.

[Reach out your hand and grasp the hilt.]

The pair of azure eyes met Chen Mobai’s gaze, transmitting this message through an invisible ripple.

Chen Mobai nodded, relaxed his mind, and reached out to grip the hilt of the Purple Electric Sword in this space.

Immediately, a numb sensation spread throughout his body. His own body seemed to shatter under the effect of the wildly raging power of thunder and lightning. However, mere moments after destruction, a surge of vigorous life force reassembled his shattered body.

Chen Mobai’s consciousness had lapsed into unconsciousness from the intense pain at this moment.

Seeing this, the Purple Electric Sword shook its head slightly.

After who knows how many cycles of destruction and resurrection, Chen Mobai woke from the eternal darkness.

Opening his eyes, he found himself sitting soundly on the fourth floor of the Sword Tower, while the Purple Electric Sword returned to its sheath, seemingly fallen back into slumber.

Chen Mobai raised his hand, noticing that he wasn’t torn apart by the power of thunder and lightning; it was likely a mysterious Sword Technique that directly affected his divine sense.

But what about the outcome?

Chen Mobai had not forgotten that his visit was to wield the Purple Electric Sword.

“Elder? Elder Purple Electric Sword?”

He called out twice to the sword kept in the sword box and even quoted the mantra taught by Hao Cao again. Yet, no response came.

Is it over?

[If the Purple Electric Sword does not respond anymore, it means that the synchronization has ended, and you can come out.]

Chen Mobai remembered Hao Cao’s words before he came in.

He took out his phone to check the time and found that only half an hour had passed during the sword-holding synchronization.

Everyone gets a day’s time, and he felt there’s still more he could do.

Moreover, if he left so quickly, wouldn’t people laugh at him?

He reached out to grasp the Purple Electric Sword in the sword box, intending to draw it out. Suddenly, a potent purple light burst out from the hilt, pushing his right hand away.

If the Purple Electric Sword did not intend to harm him, he feared that his palm would have turned into charred ashes from the blow.

Chen Mobai hesitantly played his ace – took out the gigantic raw Spirit Stone from his storage bag and presented it with both hands in front of the sword box.

The Purple Electric Sword, which was as steady as a mountain, gave a slight shake.

Chen Mobai reached out towards the sword box again. The potent purple light emerged again, but this time it didn’t immediately push him away.

Instead, it resisted, merely preventing his hand from touching itself.

“My name is Chen Mobai, the chief of Dance Tool Dao Academy, with substantial family wealth.”

“Let this raw Spirit Stone be a token of my respect for Elder Purple Electric Sword.”

“If you are willing to serve me, I promise to offer such a high-quality Spirit Stone every year. The supply for this year, symbolic gestures for important days, could be sent in advance.”

As Chen Mobai spoke, he took out five more high-quality Spirit Stones from his storage bag.

Then he picked one of the high-quality stones with his left hand and presented it.

The flickering purple light in front of the high-quality Spirit Stone began to recede inch by inch. It eventually stopped at the hilt, lingering for three breaths before completely opening.

Chen Mobai placed the high-quality Spirit Stone on the other side of the Purple Electric Sword.

The comparison between this untapped, gleaming, and fully-energized Spirit Stone and the other Spirit Stone provided by the Daoist Academy, which had been consumed and charged countless times, was like fresh flowers blooming after a rain shower versus scattered and withered flowers.

When Chen Mobai placed this Spirit Stone inside the sword box, the last lingering light around the hilt of the Purple Electric Sword completely vanished.

Seeing this, Chen Mobai reached out his right hand and gently grasped the hilt of the Purple Electric Sword.
