The purple light continued.
Long Yan had fallen into boundless despair.
His compatibility with Li Shuang was blue. Before, he could use this to persuade Li Shuang to take him back.
But now?
Li Shuang and the Black Abyss Sword Spirit had the legendary purple compatibility.
Even when it was white compatibility, Li Shuang hadn't thought of giving up the Black Abyss Sword Spirit, let alone now, with such a magnificent purple light!
A dense bitterness welled up, and Long Yan clutched his chest, his soul body seemingly dimming a little more.
But he couldn't care about his own condition now; he stared fixedly in Li Shuang's direction.
He had just materialized, and now he had suffered a major blow; his situation was truly dire.
Back then.
Even if there was the slightest possibility of him developing turbid energy, Li Shuang would guard against it strictly and help him remove it immediately.
Now.
He was already this sad, this pained.
Li Shuang...
Would she really not look at him again?
Li Shuang didn't spare him another glance.
The little sword spirit, seeing the purple light, joyfully spread her arms.
Li Shuang chuckled softly and picked her up.
The little sword spirit rubbed against her face, her expression full of dependence.
In the ethereal realm.
Under this purple light, a strange connection was established between Li Shuang and the sword spirit.
This connection was invisible and intangible, and there was no sign of any contractual power.
But they just knew.
From then on, an unbreakable bond existed between them.
A bond that transcended any contract.
At the Sect Master's residence.
Meng Yifei looked at the purple light in the sky in a daze, muttering, "Purple qi soaring to the sky... This is, perfect compatibility!"
He soared into the air, his eyes flashing with light.
That was... in the direction of Heartless Peak.
Someone on Heartless Peak was awakening a sword spirit with perfect compatibility with herself.
On Heartless Peak, the only sword spirit still dormant was the one in the Black Abyss Sword, right?
Was that... Li Shuang?
Meng Yifei didn't hesitate and flew directly towards Heartless Peak.
Behind the mountain.
True Immortal Lingxu was sparring with Lin Qingling.
Suddenly.
Purple qi rose into the sky.
Lin Qingling instantly jumped out of the battle circle and looked up at the sky.
Purple light!
This aura!
"Xiao Shuang?" Lin Qingling quickly reacted, a hint of joy appearing in her eyes.
She ignored True Immortal Lingxu and headed directly towards Heartless Peak.
True Immortal Lingxu's eyes flickered, instantly turning cold.
What was going on?
Hadn't Ye Zhaozhao and the others gone to pressure Li Shuang? Why was a sword spirit suddenly awakening on Heartless Peak? And a sword spirit with perfect compatibility!
Could it really be Li Shuang?
No, no, not necessarily!
Perhaps it was just another curious disciple who suddenly awakened a sword spirit?
True Immortal Lingxu absolutely refused to believe that Li Shuang's luck could be so good.
After leaving Lingxu Peak, she should have become utterly miserable, fallen into the dust!
If she kept getting better.
Wouldn't their Lingxu Peak be even more ridiculed?!
True Immortal Lingxu's face was stern as he quickly followed. He also wanted to see what exactly was going on!
Heartless Peak.
The purple light slowly dissipated. Li Shuang held the little sword spirit, and a tacit understanding flowed between the person and the spirit.
Ye Zhaozhao gritted her teeth. At this moment, she completely disregarded her image, saying through clenched teeth, "Something must be wrong! I know this Black Abyss Sword Spirit; she's a piece of trash! There's no way she could have perfect compatibility!"
Li Shuang's talent in swordsmanship, even her enemy had to acknowledge. How could someone perfectly compatible with Li Shuang be a trash sword spirit?
Could this Black Abyss Sword Spirit be the true peerless sword spirit?
If that were the case, it would be more painful for Ye Zhaozhao than killing her!
"Indeed, something must be wrong." Long Yan came back to his senses and said urgently, "First orange light, then white light, and finally purple light. This situation clearly isn't normal; something might have gone wrong! Maybe... maybe this is just an illusion!"
"Perfect compatibility, how rare. How could it appear so casually?" Ye Zhaozhao also said.
Although she and Long Yan disliked each other, their thoughts were in perfect alignment at this moment!
Li Shuang! It was impossible for her to have perfect compatibility with the Black Abyss Sword Spirit!
Ye Zhaozhao and Long Yan questioned frantically, and everyone's expressions also wavered slightly.
Indeed.
The situation today was indeed a bit strange, with three different colors of light appearing in succession. Was this truly normal?
Just then.
A voice rang out.
"You mean, when awakening the sword spirit this time, three colors of light appeared consecutively?"
Everyone turned around and saw that it was Meng Yifei, the Sect Master of the Sword Sect.
The disciples all bowed.
Meng Yifei waved his hand casually, asking somewhat impatiently, "Answer my question!"
Ye Zhaozhao quickly stepped forward and explained the situation.
Meng Yifei's expression changed repeatedly, and he muttered, "So it is..."
"Sect Master, there's definitely something wrong with this situation! This purple light, it's really just an illusion, isn't it?" Ye Zhaozhao asked with anticipation.
Meng Yifei ignored her and stared fixedly at Li Shuang: "Is there a wonderful connection between you and the Black Abyss Sword Spirit?"
Li Shuang nodded: "Indeed."
Before, there was always a barrier between her and Long Yan, making it impossible to truly control him as if he were her own arm.
However.
With the Black Abyss Sword Spirit, she felt as if the Black Abyss was her own limbs.
Long Yan would betray her.
But.
How could her own limbs betray her?
"That's right, that's right." A flush slowly appeared on Meng Yifei's face: "According to ancient records, if a sword cultivator and a sword spirit can achieve perfect compatibility, they will establish a Heavenly Dao contract under the witness of the Heavenly Dao. In future cultivation, with the blessing of Heavenly Dao power, both you and the sword spirit will gain immense benefits!"
Li Shuang nodded thoughtfully.
The little sword spirit hugged Li Shuang's neck even more intimately. See, she said she was strong, and she would definitely be able to help Sister Li Shuang.
Meng Yifei looked at the interaction between Li Shuang and the little sword spirit, feeling a bit envious for a moment. He softened his tone and said gently, "Li Shuang, nurturing a sword spirit is already an act against heaven, and finding a perfectly compatible sword spirit is one in ten thousand. With such an opportunity, your future in swordsmanship is promising!"
Li Shuang nodded, her expression still very calm.
She believed in the Black Abyss Sword Spirit, and she believed in herself.
Regardless of whether it was perfect compatibility, she would reach the peak.
This was destiny, not a mere opportunity.
"Sect Master!" Ye Zhaozhao couldn't help but say, "This isn't right! If it's perfect compatibility, why did other lights appear before?"
Meng Yifei gave Ye Zhaozhao a meaningful look and then said, "Perfect compatibility is extremely rare. In the past hundred years, there hasn't been a single example on the Southern Yan Continent, so it's normal that you don't know the intricacies of it."
"But you should all know, right? The appearance of purple light not only requires perfect compatibility but also requires 100% trust in each other. The initial orange light appeared because their compatibility met the standard. Later, the orange light suddenly disappeared because the Heavenly Dao discovered that their compatibility was not just up to standard, but perfect! This then initiated a Heavenly Dao trial."
"The subsequent white light was actually testing their trust in each other! If they had doubted each other simply because their compatibility wasn't enough, then they would have eventually reverted to orange light and would never have been able to unleash this dazzling purple light."
"Li Shuang and the sword spirit never wavered in their choice of each other, and the Heavenly Dao sensed this, thus bestowing the purple light."
