Chapter 1401 - Steal the Thunder!

"How can he tell?"

"It's impossible. I don't even know whether or not Yan Liren attacked. Besides, according to Yan Liren, he did not wield the sword at all but merely attacked with his will. Could the guy have perceived the constituents of the sword through the will of the sword?"

"Are you kidding me? This is too unbelievable!"

The Cultivators nearby had already been shocked by Yan Liren time and time again. Hardly had they caught their breath when they were crushed again by Li Yao's mind-boggling theory. They found it barely possible to stand on their feet!

Yan Liren's outstretched foot moved back, and he turned around. Staring at Li Yao, he asked, "How did you know?"

"You just 'killed' me with the will of the sword." Touching his neck, Li Yao said, "My throat can still taste the wind and frost on your sword. If I could not distinguish what it was that 'killed' me, wouldn't I be too hilarious?

"It is a surprise to me that, while the Purple Pole Sword Sect boasts all kinds of marvelous weapons made of the best Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and even the ancient swords inherited from the primeval era, many of which are the tantalizing treasures for any Cultivator in the world, you disregard all those incredible blades and prefer such a short sword that is no different from a plain sword made of regular metal."

"This is my very first sword." Yan Liren pondered for a moment. He seemed to feel that Li Yao was a person worth explaining it to. "I received the sword when I was nine, and I have never been separated from it, not for one day. After so many years, I can't tell how many times I've touched it and waved it. Not only am I familiar with the weight, form, and hardness of the sword in any part, I also know every detail about the sword, including the speed and strength of the sword when it cuts into the wind at a certain angle and the different feedback when it pierces into a shield, armor, spiritual shield, or bone!

"As you said, it has really become an extension of my limbs and part of my life!

"The three primeval swords, on the other hand, are too powerful and consume too much spiritual energy and telepathic thoughts because they were not built for me but for the primeval deities and devils. Although I have polished them for decades, it is still troublesome for me to wield them!

"I often feel that I am not manipulating the three primeval swords. Instead, they are searching and attacking on their own after absorbing my spirit and vitality!

"Wielding such swords is like a three-year-old wielding a giant saber. Damaging as they may be, how can they be called the 'strongest sword'?"

Li Yao was greatly moved!

Yan Liren's statement showed traces that he was beginning to break the ancient Cultivators' fanaticism about primeval treasures and shifting to the modern principles of Cultivation!

It was quite right that, however excellent the primeval items of the Pangu Clan were, they were created specifically for the Pangu Clan instead of human beings. Worshipping them blindly and taking them over directly for one's own use might be easier and quicker, but it was certainly a dead end in the long run!

The best magical equipment was the magical equipment that suited the user most!

The logic was very simple, and it might be very easy to understand. However, when a powerful primeval treasure was placed right in front of their eyes, how many Cultivators could refuse the temptation to be their slaves?

"You have Cultivated to such a level," Li Yao mumbled to himself.

"I only perceived it recently." Yan Liren smiled. "Over the past few decades, I was as awed by the power of the three primeval swords as everybody else was. I tried my best to conquer them, to polish them, and to manipulate them, almost at the cost of my life!
