Kent spent the entire day talking with Uncle Drake. He got to learn more about his old friend and comrade. When that came to an end, however, he retreated to the Sword Tower to handle a few things.
He was already aware that one of the Eternal Sword Intents left behind by Jest was now in the tower. He was happy to learn that.
In his memories, after glimpsing the realm beyond the Sword Celestial stage, he used what he had learned to refine seven strands of sword intent, putting everything he knew on the line.
In the end, he succeeded.
However, instead of the Celestial Sword Intent he expected, something else emerged. The sword intents were sentient. He was a bit stunned when all seven of them manifested into humanoid forms.
When this happened, Jest was stunned, but he soon learned that the path to the realm above the Sword Celestial stage would be achieved through the seven sword intents.
