Chapter 699: Chapter 422: The Purple Electric Sword Recognizes its Master_2

Upon grabbing it, the Purple Electric Sword squirmed gently, as if struggling, but in the end it ceased resisting. It allowed Chen Mobai to hold it in his hands and lift it up.

The Purple Electric Sword was embedded into a huge piece of Spirit Stone ore.

An abundance of Spiritual Energy it had not experienced since it was forged caused the Purple Electric Sword to let out a clear chirping sound.

[Is this for me?]

The soundless chirp relayed a message to Chen Mobai, who gently nodded, signifying that the Purple Electric Sword was free to absorb the Spiritual Energy from the Spirit Stone ore.

[Too much, too full, too satisfying…]

...

Unknown amount of time later, the Purple Electric Sword chirped again, delivering another message to Chen Mobai asking to be pulled out.

After the sword returned to the Sword Box, Chen Mobai felt that nearly half of the Spiritual Energy from the Spirit Stone ore had dimmed.

Within a mere half hour, the Purple Electric Sword absorbed nearly the power of one-and-a-half high-grade Spirit Stones of immense Spiritual Energy—making the long-famished sword feel the word “satiety” for the first time.

“Senior Purple Electric Sword, if you are willing to join me, there’s no need to exert yourself on a regular basis. You only need to help me when my life is in danger.”

“The Spirit Stone remuneration remains the same as previously discussed: one high-grade Spirit Stone annually. If Senior has to make a move to save my life, there will also be an additional reward of several high-grade Spirit Stones.”

“I wonder if this is agreeable to Senior?”

Having just gorged itself, the Purple Electric Sword was no longer haughty. On hearing this, it immediately responded.

[Your offer is certainly the best among all, but I am a Rank-4 after all, and you are just in Foundation Establishment stage. If your Core Formation fails, wouldn’t it be a waste of my 200 years?]

This time the Purple Electric Sword, once selects a master, it is certainly aiming to go further up, or at the very least, not wanting to regress.

Being committed to a Gold Core cultivator, at least there’s hope for that.

But with Foundation Establishment cultivators, the Realm is a bit too low for it and would not be able to bring out even its minimum power.

“Though I’m presently only at Foundation Establishment stage, I am rather confident about my own Core Formation. Senior, you must know my sect’s limitation in procuring Gold Core Spiritual Material; how about we make a sixty-year contract?”

“If I don’t reach Core Formation within sixty years, I will unconditionally terminate the contract with you. Whatever high-grade Spirit Stones supplied to you during this period will be considered as compensation for your lost time.”

“Senior, there aren’t many people in the sect with a family background like mine. If you miss this opportunity, you won’t get another one.”

Chen Mobai paused when he finished speaking, and the Purple Electric Sword fell silent.

[You can get it in writing. We can first agree on a letter of intent, and after I have interviewed the remaining few candidates, I will then make a final decision.]

A considerable time later, this fluctuation came from the Purple Electric Sword, making Chen Mobai instantly happy.

He immediately drafted all the terms previously mentioned, including a confidentiality clause, ensuring that just the two of them, Chen Mobai and the Purple Electric Sword, knew about that conversation, and it must not be revealed to a third party.

After both parties had made their pact, Chen Mobai retrieved the Spirit Stone ore and the high-grade Spirit Stone he had inserted into Sword Box back into his storage bag.

Sighting of this by the three Gold Core cultivators who would be coming later might easily reveal the problem.

The Purple Electric Sword appeared somewhat reluctant to part, but it knew that it had not officially chosen Chen Mobai as its master yet, and the favourable terms spoken just now were not yet at the stage of being honored.

But having absorbed half of the Spirit Stone ore’s abundant Spiritual Energy, it was satisfactorily satiated. So it let Chen Mobai take the stone back.

After all, if he is chosen as its master, these will all be its future belongings.

“Senior, may I ask about the situation of the previous twelve candidates?”

Seeing that there was still plenty of time left in the day, Chen Mobai didn’t immediately leave the Sword Tower but sat down and chatted about everyday life with the Purple Electric Sword.

[There was one with Thunder Spiritual Root who is very suitable for me. If I could merge with him, I should be able to reach the realm of my former master. However, he already has a more powerful magic artifact than me and is unwilling to give it up, so negotiations fell through.]

He must be referring to Zhongli Tianyu, who has the Bagua Mirror. Even though it’s currently incomplete, it was left by Zhongli ancestors, ranking innately above the Purple Electric Sword.

[There was also a young man with a natural Sword Heart like my former master, but unfortunately, his cultivation level was too low…]

Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai wondered if he might be referring to Zha Jianbai.

This actual Sword Cultivation Genius who heard of the Dao in Foundation Establishment was well-regarded by Zuo Gong and even considered potentially surpassing him.

[Then there was another one who felt a bit strange. It felt like he could control me, but after testing him, I felt he was unworthy, but I wonder where you all found him, hidden so well.]

Who was he talking about?

Chen Mobai was confused, but at this point, the Purple Electric Sword had moved on to discussing the fourth, the fifth…

All of the exceptional Sword Cultivation Geniuses chosen by Hao Cao, although a bit overrated, were undeniably cultivators with accomplishments in the Sword Dao. Some of them made the Purple Electric Sword can’t help but praise.

If provided with the correct training, they might become masters of Sword Dao in the future.

During the chat, one day quickly passed.

Chen Mobai walked out of the Sword Tower.

“Go back and wait for the news. Do not leave the doorstep, after the Purple Electric Sword makes its choice, I will come to notify you.”

Hao Cao reminded Chen Mobai when he saw him.

Pei Qingshuang was there too, but she didn’t approach. After exchanging a glance, they both nodded at each other, acknowledging each other’s presence.

Yan Qiongzhi was also there, as she would be the next one to enter the Sword Tower.

After exchanging greetings with her, Chen Mobai left.

Once Yan Qiongzhi entered the Sword Tower, Chen Mobai also returned to his own place.

He sat quietly with his eyes closed for three days and three nights.

“It’s time.”

With the sound of an alarm, Chen Mobai opened his eyes, and turned off the alarm on his phone.

He exhaled deeply, looking out of the window.

It was still quiet out there.

Though he had pleasant conversations with the Purple Electric Sword, he can’t be completely at ease without having it by his side.

He had no idea how long it would take for the Purple Electric Sword to make its decision.

Just as Chen Mobai was pondering, a loud and reverberating sword sound surged from the direction of the Sword Tower. It was like an invisible wave of sword energy that spread to every corner of the Academy.

Almost everyone heard it and looked out of their windows.

“I hope I didn’t make a mistake.”

On the fourth floor of the Sword Tower, Hao Cao murmured to himself as he removed all the seals and prohibitions imposed on the Purple Electric Sword by the academy.

A purple rainbow shot up into the sky and then flew towards the west direction of the Thousand-foot Stone Sword.

Standing by the window and looking towards the Sword Tower, Chen Mobai frowned. Why wasn’t the Purple Electric Sword flying his way?

Could it be another idealistic sword giving up mundane spirit stones?

Despite his reluctance, Chen Mobai kept watching the direction where the Purple Electric Sword disappeared, hoping for a miracle to see the sword returning.

However, after an amount of time sufficient to drink a cup of tea had passed, the sword sound had completely disappeared into the western skyline.

In the end, did it pick someone with a greater realm?

Chen Mobai thought that the Purple Electric Sword had chosen a Gold Core expert.

“Sigh!”

Just as he was feeling disappointed, the purple rainbow suddenly lit up again in the western sky and started swirling in mid-air as if it was looking for a direction.

In the end, it set its course towards Chen Mobai, transforming into a beam of purple lightning and dashed towards him.

Bang!

A hole was pierced through the window glass of Chen Mobai’s room. A majestic and authoritative long sword flew in, casting purple light all around, and landed in front of him.

[Sorry, I went the wrong way before.]

The Purple Electric Sword sent out a wave of pulsation, which left Chen Mobai both crying and laughing. He almost thought this was another lofty idealistic sword.

“Please guide me for the next sixty years!”

Chen Mobai saluted the Purple Electric Sword, then stretched out his hands and held the sparkling purple long sword.

Boom!

A thunder like sound resonating like a clear day thunderbolt reverberated over the Thirteen Stone Swords of the Academy at this moment.

Ruan Zixiu was a middle-aged cultivator with a worried expression. He saw the scene outside the window and sighed.

Next to him, Huo Xiqing’s brows furrowed tightly. He looked annoyed. However, by this point, no matter how resentful he was, he had to accept the fact that the Purple Electric Sword did not choose him.

On the other side of the Stone Sword, Yan Qiongzhi’s eyes flickered. The place where the Purple Electric Sword landed, she knew, was where Chen Mobai was.

He actually overshadowed the three of them, all Gold Core experts.

Indeed, he had the qualification of Deification.
