But at this moment, Ye Xiao realized something.
"Could this be related to him?" Ye Xiao muttered to himself. He wondered if the Jade Dragon Sword Spirit's words were related to his past self. If so, everything would become clearer.
Of course, that was just Ye Xiao's guess for now.
"Where is this demon god race?" Ye Xiao continued to ask.
"Sir, I told you, I can't say more than that. It's not that I don't want to, but I simply can't. The point is, that place is beyond your imagination," the Jade Dragon Sword Spirit said with a serious expression.
"Hmm, a place I can't even imagine?" Ye Xiao muttered to himself, but he became increasingly convinced of his suspicion that if this jade dragon sword wasn't connected to a powerful figure similar to himself, then their places of origin were likely not that different. After all, what the Jade Dragon Sword Spirit was saying now was not much different from what the powerful figure similar to himself had said.
"Yes, Master. In essence, the world is truly extraordinary." The Jade Dragon Sword Spirit nodded as if recalling past memories.
"Okay, okay, now tell me what level you are." Ye Xiao said, changing the subject. Every weapon and relic had its own level, but even though they were connected by a soul contract, Ye Xiao still couldn't tell what level this Jade Dragon Sword was.
"Master, I still don't have a level."
Eh...
Hearing the Jade Dragon Sword Spirit's confession, Ye Xiao was shocked. What did it mean by "no level?" Isn't that the same as an ordinary weapon? But doesn't this Jade Dragon Sword possess mysterious powers? How could it not have a level?
"What do you mean?" Ye Xiao asked with a confused expression.
"Master, I may not have a level, but that doesn't mean I'm an ordinary weapon. I'm a graded weapon, and because of an incident in the past, my level reverted to its original state, and I'm now a gradeless weapon," the Jade Dragon Sword Spirit explained patiently to Ye Xiao.
"Grade weapons? Returning to their origins? Does that mean your strength can continue to increase?" Hearing this, Ye Xiao looked confused. He had never heard of graded weapons, and what had happened to cause their grade to disappear?
"Yes, sir, there are two types of weapons and treasures: graded and non-grade. Non-grade weapons are created by a weapon refiner based on their refining skills. But graded weapons are different. Some are created by weapon refiners, while others are born from natural phenomena. There are also those created by weapon refiners. Usually, these weapons and treasures undergo transformation and develop their own consciousness."
Time passed, and Ye Xiao asked the Jade Dragon Sword Spirit many questions, and he received very satisfying answers. It's worth noting that the Jade Dragon Sword Spirit's knowledge was truly extraordinary. There were many new things Ye Xiao had never heard of before.
Every question Ye Xiao asked was answered by the Sword Spirit. Of course, unless Ye Xiao asked, the Sword Spirit wouldn't explain anything other than what was relevant to Ye Xiao's question.
Of course, all of that was just knowledge. As for cultivation techniques or attack methods, the Sword Spirit had none. He was only a sword spirit from a graded weapon, and he only possessed knowledge in the soul contract method. Ye Xiao wanted the Sword Spirit's cultivation techniques. After all, the Sword Spirit's origins were mysterious, but in reality, he didn't possess any. He simply said that Ye Xiao only needed to work hard and then he would surely acquire powerful cultivation techniques.
There was certainly something ambiguous in the Sword Spirit's words, but Ye Xiao couldn't find the clue in the end.
"Okay, let's work hard." Ye Xiao nodded, but with the Jade Dragon Sword's current appearance, it would definitely be too conspicuous and arouse greed. Therefore, Ye Xiao was at a loss as to where to store it. He himself didn't yet have any storage items to store the items he wanted.
"Sir... I have a way." Understanding what Ye Xiao was thinking, the Jade Dragon Sword Spirit spoke again.
"What way?" Ye Xiao immediately asked curiously.
"Pay attention, sir," the Jade Dragon Sword Spirit said respectfully, and the next moment...
"Yes."
Ye Xiao immediately focused his gaze on the sword with a curious expression, wondering what the Jade Dragon Sword Spirit was trying to do.
Nguugg...
The Jade Dragon Sword's body suddenly trembled, and a dazzling golden light, as before, radiated from it.
Ehhh...
Ye Xiao was surprised, but the golden light lasted for a while, and then...
Ehhh...
After Ye Xiao could see again, he was shocked by the sword's appearance. The Jade Dragon Sword's appearance changed again, returning to its original form, a damaged black sword.
"So it can be done," Ye Xiao muttered, as if he hadn't expected a weapon to do such a thing.
"Hehe, sir, this is just a simple disguise." The Jade Dragon Sword Spirit smiled at Ye Xiao's surprise.
"Yes, yes, you do have a lot of tricks," Ye Xiao responded.
After a while, the two of them fell silent.
"What should I do next?" Ye Xiao thought to himself, looking around the forest of towering trees.
"Okay, first I need to figure out where I am," Ye Xiao said, standing up, contemplating which direction to head first.
After a moment of thought, Ye Xiao headed north, considering his hometown was a remote area in the southern part of the Wang Empire.
For now, Ye Xiao wants to stay away from the southern area first before his strength increases until he feels confident to be able to face the Ye family with his own hands, especially Ye Fan, who knows how strong he will be, but what is certain is that after joining the Holy Immortal sect, his strength will definitely increase very quickly considering the resources that the sect will give to Ye Fan will be unimaginable, therefore Ye Xiao thinks he must find a way to increase his strength as quickly as possible so as not to be left behind by Ye Fan.
