“Cang Yuan, you’ve awakened!” Pleasantly surprised, Ling Chuxi forgot all about her heartache as she spoke to the sword spirit in her mind.

“I have. I never thought you would actually find the Ink Jade Crystal. That is a top-grade spiritual crystal that can nurture the mind and soul power,” Cang Yuan said earnestly.

“You’re saying that you awoke because of the Ink Jade Crystal?” Ling Chuxi roughly understood what was going on. The Ink Jade Crystal had nurtured Cang Yuan’s mind and soul, causing him to awaken.

“How else could I have woken up so quickly? Back then, my sword body was shattered and my sword spirit power was already incredibly weak. Only by sucking in the spiritual power of heaven and earth did I manage to travel around the world. However, every time I awoke, my soul power would grow weaker. This time, facing the sword essence consumed even more power,” Cang Yuan explained and then asked eagerly, “Do you have another Ink Jade Crystal?”

“These are Ink Jade Crystals, not cabbages! That piece was a gift from someone!” Ling Chuxi almost jumped to her feet in outrage.

“Oh,” Cang Yuan muttered in disappointment.

“If I hadn’t gotten the Ink Jade Crystal, when would you have awoken?” Ling Chuxi asked out of curiosity.

“By absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and using the cultivation of my Cang Yuan sword spirit, I would have awakened within fifty years at most!” Cang Yuan declared proudly.

“Fifty years!” Ling Chuxi now felt that the loss of the Ink Jade Crystal was not a bad thing. Fifty years to the Cang Yuan Sword Spirit was a very short period of time, but to her, it was too long. She was still counting on the Cang Yuan Sword to help her raise her cultivation.

“However, although I have awakened this time, I’m afraid that I won’t be able to stay like this for long,” Cang Yuan admitted.

“Cannot stay like this for long? What do you mean? Could it be that you still want to sleep?!” Ling Chuxi asked in horror. She originally thought that he was a sword deity, but now it seemed like he was actually a sleeping deity!

“I was originally formed from the condensation of divine thoughts. It is already not easy to leave the physical body and become a sword spirit, and furthermore, the Cang Yuan Sword was shattered so travelling the world was challenging. How can it be so easy to keep my divine thoughts awake by just absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth?” Cang Yuan scoffed, sounding offended.

Ling Chuxi had heard of this before. When a cultivator cultivated to a certain level, their mind and soul would also become extraordinarily strong and could then exist outside a physical body. However, it was an existence floating without roots, and could not be maintained for long. Since the Cang Yuan Sword Spirit did not have a physical body as the sword body was scattered, being able to exist till now was indeed not easy.

“Didn’t you eat an Ink Jade Crystal just now?” Ling Chuxi muttered petulantly, obviously still sore over the loss of the precious stone.

“How much use can that tiny bit of Ink Jade Crystal be?!” Cang Yuan exclaimed indignantly.

Ling Chuxi’s expression instantly turned gloomy. He could actually ask her that? Why didn’t he find some for her then? It was already so hard to obtain a single piece, and before she could even figure out what was going on with it, he had already eaten it clean. He even had the nerve to complain about how small it was! Ling Chuxi understood everything now—this fellow was not only a sleeping deity, he was also an eating deity!

“Alright, save your energy and don’t talk so much. Quickly help me think of a way to increase my cultivation.” Ling Chuxi was scared that this sleeping and eating deity would fall asleep accidentally, so she quickly brought it up. Last time, he fell asleep without her noticing and Ling Chuxi regretted it for a long time.

Witnessing Duan Qingchen’s cultivation, Ling Chuxi also had a deeper understanding of the might of sects. Her desire to become stronger also became more urgent.

“I also have the same intention. In the past, I, Cang Yuan, had dominated the world with the Seven Styles of Cang Yuan Swordplay. Today, I shall teach you the first style,” Cang Yuan announced majestically.
