Cultivation Online novel Chapter 1137

"What do you think?" The masked man handed the Empyrean Overlord that was emitting a totally different aura compared to moments ago back to Yuan.

Yuan swallowed nervously before accepting the Empyrean Overlord.

When he first acquired the Empyrean Overlord, there was always this feeling of it being incomplete to him, like it could be improved. It was a very minor feeling that didn't bother him, but it was there nonetheless.

However, the moment he touched the upgraded Empyrean Overlord, he immediately realized why he had that feeling.

He didn't think it was possible, but the Empyrean Overlord felt even more comfortable in his grasp, and there was even this sense of nostalgia from it.

"Don't be fooled by it." The masked man suddenly said.

"What do you mean?" Yuan looked at him with a puzzled face.

"Its seal may have been released, but it's not fully awakened just yet. In order to fully awaken it, you'll need to feed it lots of spiritual energy. You can do that by killing magical beasts or… other Cultivators." Although it was blocked by his mask, there was a grim smile on his face as he spoke.

"Though, it's still more powerful than the previous Empyrean Overlord even in its current state."

Yuan stared at the sword until a notification popped up.

<Awakened Empyrean Overlord>

<Rank: Soul Weapon>

<Growth Rate: Very Slow>

<Awakening Progress: 0%>

<A godlike weapon crafted by the God of Refinement and wielded by the Sword Emperor. It possesses tremendous power that surpasses all logic. However, it has yet to reveal its true name— its true potential>

<Unique Ability: Qi Devouring Blade>

[Qi Devouring Blade: Activately devours the Qi of your targets after a successful hit]

"A beautiful sword, right?" The masked man asked.

"Indeed." Yuan nodded.

"The Empyrean Overlord and I have experienced and surpassed countless tribulations together in the past. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that I wouldn't have survived many situations if it weren't for her."

"Her?" Yuan raised an eyebrow. Why would he address a sword in such a manner? Almost like it had a gender.

The masked man smiled, "About that… You will learn about it eventually."

"Why can't you just tell me now?"

"Because that would ruin the surprise and fun."

"All of you are like this…" Yuan sighed. "What's the point of keeping secrets to yourself?"

The masked man shook his head, "Although we all share the same soul, I wouldn't say that we're all the same individual. At one point in all of our lives, we had a different personality and lived different lives, so you can say that we're all unique in our own ways. Even if we eventually recover our memories and become nearly identical, it's not completely the same."

"There's a slight difference, and that difference, no matter how small, makes us unique."

Yuan felt some weight lifted from his heart after hearing such words, as he was always worried about returning to his old self— that he had no personality of his own.

"What's this key for? I also received one from the Seven Swords Trial."aid as he retrieved something from his pocket. _{fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm}
