174: Blade and Soul

Boom!!!

As Su Yuan's terrifying Mental Energy surged into the Purple Bamboo Spirit Sword, the sword's body suddenly paused.

Su Yuan's consciousness abruptly appeared in a blank, purple space.

"This is..."

His consciousness having entered this unfamiliar purple space, Su Yuan was filled with doubt.

"Bad... bad guy!"

Just then, a tender voice, tinged with weakness, rang out.

A slightly ethereal little loli, dressed in a purple skirt, slowly appeared before Su Yuan's consciousness.

"Where did this child come from?"

Looking at the suddenly appearing purple-skirted loli, Su Yuan couldn't help but be startled.

But very quickly, he reacted.

"No, could this guy be the Sword Spirit of the Purple Bamboo Spirit Sword?"

"Didn't they say that only equipment-type Beast-type beasts of King Rank could give birth to an Artifact Spirit?"

Su Yuan looked at the slightly ethereal purple-skirted loli in front of him and immediately thought of a Sword Spirit.

After a moment of doubt, Su Yuan found a somewhat reasonable explanation for himself.

"The Purple Bamboo Spirit Sword is Epic-grade eight-star quality. For it to give birth to a Sword Spirit at Peak Lord-level doesn't seem particularly strange."

"Looking at this little loli's current state, she must have just been attacked by the Nirvana Divine Light, and her spirit body is close to collapsing."

Su Yuan examined the Purple Bamboo Spirit Sword's Sword Spirit and quickly had his answer.

After understanding everything, Su Yuan couldn't help but feel a little joyful.

Since the Purple Bamboo Spirit Sword had a Sword Spirit, he could communicate with it directly, which would make things much easier.

Perhaps he wouldn't need to erase all of the Purple Bamboo Spirit Sword's spirituality to make it his own Beast!

"Little one, it's still the same thing."

"Become my Beast, and I can let you continue to exist."

"And by following me, I guarantee your strength will progress at least ten times faster than if you Cultivated on your own!"

Looking at the fierce-looking little Sword Spirit of the Purple Bamboo Spirit Sword, whose big eyes were glaring at him, Su Yuan said with a faint smile.

"Hmph, even if I perish, I won't be the Beast of a big bad guy like you!"

However, facing Su Yuan's words, the little Sword Spirit didn't give him any Face and spoke again.

"I just gave you a beating, and I'm a big bad guy?"

"Besides, if you hadn't ambushed me first, why would I have had my Beast take you down?"

Hearing the little Sword Spirit's words, Su Yuan laughed in anger.

This little thing made the first move, and now it's acting like the victim.

Unexpectedly, what the Sword Spirit of the Purple Bamboo Spirit Sword said next made Su Yuan feel a bit awkward.

"Hmph! If you hadn't destroyed my home, why would I have attacked you!"

"I just went out to play for a bit, and you demolished my home, and you're still blaming me for attacking!"

"Ugh! You're making me so angry!"

At this point, the Sword Spirit of the Purple Bamboo Spirit Sword puffed out her cheeks, pouted, clenched her chubby fists, and stared at Su Yuan with wide eyes.

If she weren't extremely weak right now, she probably would have fought Su Yuan again.

"Uh, your home, could it be that purple bamboo forest was your home?"

Hearing the Purple Bamboo Spirit Sword's words, Su Yuan remembered the Purple Bamboo Spirit Sword's appearance and immediately had an idea.

Perhaps, the place where the Purple Bamboo Spirit Sword was born was that purple bamboo forest.

Or even, it was a nine-section Spirit Bamboo, which, due to some special Opportunity, gave birth to the Purple Bamboo Spirit Sword through the purple bamboo forest.

"Exactly!"

As soon as Su Yuan's voice fell, the Sword Spirit of the Purple Bamboo Spirit Sword immediately spoke.

Upon realizing his guess was confirmed, Su Yuan became even more awkward.

However, thinking that he had transplanted that purple bamboo forest into his Beast Taming Space, Su Yuan's heart stirred.

"Looking at this Sword Spirit of the Purple Bamboo Spirit Sword, it must have been born not long ago, and its mind is extremely pure."

"It probably got so angry because it saw me digging up that purple bamboo forest and thought I destroyed its home."

"If I tell it that the purple bamboo forest is still in my Beast Taming Space, perhaps I can dissipate a lot of this little one's hostility."

Thinking this, Su Yuan smiled and said to the Purple Bamboo Spirit Sword's Sword Spirit:

"Little one, actually, I didn't destroy your home. I just moved that purple bamboo forest to a different place to grow."

"Now that purple bamboo forest is in my Beast Taming Space."

"Inside my Beast Taming Space, that purple bamboo forest will only grow better and better, and its area will only become larger and larger."

"As long as you become my Beast, you can enter my Beast Taming Space and continue to stay in that purple bamboo forest."

"Not only that, the world you were in before was just a very, very small Small World, which we call the Void Realm."

"If you become my Beast, I can take you out of this Void Realm and show you more vast worlds."

Sure enough, upon hearing the news that the purple bamboo forest had not been destroyed, the Sword Spirit of the Purple Bamboo Spirit Sword's eyes immediately lit up, and her spirit body even seemed to solidify a bit.

"Really? You're not lying to me?"

"Absolutely not!"

"Alright, in that case, I'll reluctantly become your Beast!"

Hearing Su Yuan's solemn promise, the Sword Spirit of the Purple Bamboo Spirit Sword didn't think much and readily agreed.

In reality, after hearing the news that the purple bamboo forest was in Su Yuan's Beast Taming Space, the Purple Bamboo Spirit Sword still harbored some hostility towards Su Yuan.

It was Su Yuan's later words that truly moved her.

Although the Sword Spirit of the Purple Bamboo Spirit Sword's intelligence wasn't high, it had actually existed for quite some time.

During this period, she had already explored the entire Void Realm.

The Void Realm that appears within a medium-sized Secret Realm like the Cloud Heaven Secret Realm is only so large.

Just as Vicious Beasts in a Secret Realm cannot leave the Secret Realm.

Beasts within the Void Realm are also bound by rules and cannot leave the Void Realm on their own.

With the Purple Bamboo Spirit Sword's Peak Lord-level Rank, it would take about two and a half years to explore every single corner.

Staying in this Void Realm afterward would be like a bird trapped in a cage, helpless.

Upon hearing that there was an Opportunity to leave the Void Realm and go to the outside world, she couldn't be happier.

In fact, when she looked at Su Yuan now, an expression of joyful surprise unconsciously appeared on her Face.

"Alright, I'll form a contract with you right away, just wait!"

Seeing this, Su Yuan was also filled with joy.

With a thought, this part of his consciousness returned to his body.

The conscious conversation happened in an instant; although Su Yuan and the Sword Spirit of the Purple Bamboo Spirit Sword had conversed for a long time, only an instant had passed in the outside world.

After his consciousness returned, Su Yuan immediately used his powerful Mental Energy to construct a Beast Taming Contract, and then, he struck it into the Purple Bamboo Spirit Sword's body.

At the same time, Su Yuan also stepped forward, came to the Purple Bamboo Spirit Sword, forced out a drop of his blood, and dripped it onto the sword's body.
