After spending so more ti in Alex's Soul Space and learning more about the different things he had done in the re 20 years they had been separated, Bladedance finally left and ca back out.
Once out, they left the hall, making their way to where Battlesage and Whisker were still continuing with their task.
"How was your visit, senior? Did you see interesting places?" Bladedance asked as she walked into the room.
"I indeed saw many incredible cities and sceneries," Battlesage said. "I can't thank you enough for asking the Beast God to help ."
"She would've done it even without asking if you told her where you ca from," Bladedance said. "Just your connection with the Hell Emperor alone would've helped you so much."
The old man gave a soft smile. "I'm not really interested in using my long gone connection, especially since I don't have many ways of proving it."
Bladedance didn't push it. "I hear you're helping him with setting up so formations in his Soul Space?" she asked.
"Oh, yes," Battlesage quickly said. "I'm getting there, but it might take a little longer than I previously thought. Each ti I try to start, I am struck with new inspiration and I have to rework the entire thing."
Alex couldn't help but laugh out loud when he heard that. "Take as much ti as you need, senior. I'll be gone for so ti anyway. If you want to, you can co with too. Or you can stay here as well."
"No," Battlesage quickly said. "If I can help it, I would like to not stay in this room for another minute. Let into your Soul Space. It will be better for anyway to work directly on site!"
Alex nodded, turning toward Bladedance. "What would happen if senior Battlesage were to disappear from this room? They would ask
questions, wouldn't they?"
Bladedance considered his question for a mont before giving a shrug. "Just take him in. You can just say you don't want to tell her later on. It's unlikely she will figure out what happened. Even if she does, it might instead only push her to believe that you are who she thinks you are."
Alex thought for a bit, nodding slowly. "I can also claim that I did sothing as a Half-God," he said.
Bladedance chuckled and nodded.
The next mont, Alex took both Battlesage and Whisker into his Soul Space, letting them back into the familiar land where they could work freely. Whisker could also return to cultivating soon, so he could continue Transcending his Creations.
After finishing, Bladedance took Alex away to check on the progress of his Sword.
Alex showed her his Sword Heart by forming the domain away from him once again. This ti, Bladedance could check on it much better as she had access to her Divine Sense.
"They're quite sharp," she comnted. "And also feel as if they're carrying quite a bit of montum. You've managed to mix your unique intents well to form your Sword Heart."
Alex raised his chest in pride upon hearing his master's complint. "Thank you, master. I truly tried my best."
"I can see that," Bladedance said, watching the Sword Qi that flew around in the distant Sword Domain. "Bring out your sword. Use your Sword Aura."
Alex did as asked, pulling out the black sword and using Sword Aura with it.
"No issue there," Bladedance said, checking the aura thoroughly. "Push it back. Just Sword Qi now!"
Alex pulled the energy from the sword, keeping just Sword Qi that appeared around the sword like a bright light that covered it. "That's good," she said. "You've managed to retroactively use your higher intent with your weaker ones as well. You've made no mistake in forming your Sword Heart. And you did it entirely your own way."
Alex put down the sword. "Do most people copy other people's Sword Heart?" he asked. "I once entered a secret realm where people tried to enter a place where they could learn a Saber Reverend's Saber Heart." "Rember what I told you about your Sword Heart being difficult to form because of the unique Intents surrounding it?" Bladedance asked. "Because most people don't have a unique Intent, they can easily copy soone else's Sword Heart for that reason. In fact, there are people that learn from another weapon user and follow along entirely in their path, copying their intent in each stage."
Alex scratched his chin. "Is that bad?"
Bladedance gave a half-hearted nod. "It's not good, but it's not bad either. It's just okay. The path becos easy, but because you are copying soone else's Intent, you cannot truly learn from it. These people end up failing around Sword Heart mostly as a result, and even when they do cross it, they end up failing around Dao Sword."
"Oh, I see."
"Speaking of which," Bladedance continued. "You said you were close to forming your Dao Sword? Can you show ?"
"Of course," Alex said, quickly creating the domain next to Bladedance once again. At the sa ti, he added his current understanding of Sunfire within it, causing the domain to be a mix of Sword Qi and
Sunfire.
Bladedance stared at it for a while, a small frown appearing on her face. After a long mont, she gestured for Alex to stop.
"You're not even close," she said.
Alex raised an eyebrow. "Really?" he asked. "I thought I was just a
small step away."
"You're definitely on the right path, and it could even be said that you
can see your goal clearly, but getting to it isn't that easy. Your Sword Qi and flas are still entirely distinct. Until they are one and the sa, you are not there."
Alex lowered his eyes and nodded thoughtfully. "I'll try my best, master. I have to learn the fire fully first, but once I do, I will do it."
"Don't rush," Bladedance said. "Dao Sword is not sothing one is expected to learn in the Immortal realm. Take your ti with it. You will get there eventually"
