675: Once it’s on, won’t it be turned off?

“This is...”

Hearing the familiar voice, Qin Yang’s stern and severe expression instantly melted.

Indeed, the voice coming from the longsword was that of his maternal grandfather, Lin Xuan.

“Grandfather, it is I!”

Qin Yang was excited, but considering there were others nearby, he directly attempted to transmit his voice to the longsword.

“Qin Yang? Can you hear me?”

Lin Xuan’s voice came from the longsword again.

“Grandfather seems unable to hear my voice transmission.”

Qin Yang was slightly stunned.

He noticed that Lin Xuan’s voice carried a slight Sword Intent.

This should be the sound produced by manipulating the longsword to vibrate using Sword Intent.

Qin Yang was shocked by this maneuver, but then he thought that as the world's foremost Sword Immortal, Lin Xuan’s control and perception of the sword had reached an unparalleled level, so simulating a voice with the sword's ringing was indeed possible.

However, if he could hear Lin Xuan’s voice, others could too.

Qin Yang slightly turned his head, looking at the two Heroes behind him out of the corner of his eye.

Although these two were quite frightened, they were also observing him.

Qin Yang did not want his conversation with Lin Xuan to be overheard by them.

So, he slightly raised his hand, instantly summoning six Imperial Guards, and ordered, “Spar with them.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

The six Imperial Guards responded in unison, then drew their Embroidered Spring Blades and charged towards the two Heroes.

“Hey, hey, hey!”

“What’s happening now?”

“Don’t just start fighting without a word!!!”

With a frustrated complaint, the entire Heroic Divine Realm Hall immediately erupted into a brawl.

These two were, after all, Peak Transcendent Tier, and with the blessing of the gods, they still had room to retaliate against the encirclement of the six Imperial Guards.

However, Qin Yang could also tell that they wouldn't last much longer.

Afterward, he turned his head again and said to the untouchable longsword, “Grandfather, it is I.”

“It really is you, brat!”

Lin Xuan’s voice suddenly rose a few octaves.

“Finally willing to come find your grandfather?”

“Speaking of which, this errand of yours is truly not easy to do!”

Lin Xuan feigned a complaint, but his tone was relaxed, sounding in good spirits.

“I was too reckless.”

Qin Yang gave an awkward laugh and asked, “Grandfather, what is your situation now? Have you become a sword?”

“What do you mean, ‘become a sword’?”

Lin Xuan’s tone lowered as he said, “I am the sword, and the sword is me; I have already achieved the unity of man and sword.”

“Grandfather is still the most amazing.”

Qin Yang smiled, humoring the old man, and asked again, “So, what exactly is your situation now? Let's not just chat idly; I'm here to save you.”

Lin Xuan was silent for a moment, then spoke, “It's a long story. In my life, I, Lin Xuan, have never suffered such a great loss...”

As Lin Xuan recounted his story, combined with the earlier explanation from the human girl, Qin Yang understood the full scope of the situation.

It turned out that when Lin Xuan forcibly intruded into the Heroic Divine Realm, the gods of the Heroic Divine Realm did not notice him. In fact, due to the world's Law, Lin Xuan even automatically acquired a new panel.

The reason for such a smooth infiltration was the black-grade longsword in his hand.

This longsword possessed the ability to instantly repair space.

Akatosh had given him this sword precisely to avoid having to clean up messes.

And there were no gods in the Heroic Divine Realm specifically monitoring space.

Lin Xuan, relying on this longsword, directly exploited an extremely severe bug.

The characteristic of the Heroic Divine Realm was its multi-layered worlds.

Adventurers had to clear the main Secret Realm of each world to enter the next.

However, Lin Xuan could, without the gods' knowledge, ignore all world Laws and go directly from the first world to the ninety-ninth world.

In fact, that's exactly what he did.

The old man never followed the Righteous Path; when he encountered a Secret Realm he couldn't enter, he would simply cleave open the space wall with a single sword, and then go to whichever layer he wished.

Completely unlike Qin Yang, who had to start from scratch, leveling up and clearing stages.

All those rumors about a “Demon Sword” were merely Lin Xuan killing a few demonic creatures casually while wandering through Secret Realms.

But too many bugs would eventually be discovered.

It wasn't that this world had an anti-cheat mechanism, but that Lin Xuan was too arrogant.

He, a person with a Rank 1 panel, was darting between multiple worlds.

Finally, he even ran to the ninety-ninth world... This was ridiculous.

Adventurers who could be in the ninety-ninth world were either Emperor Rank or Transcendent Tier.

For a Rank 1, un-job-changed person to appear there, even an idiot would know he was cheating!

So, you started cheating and never stopped?

The adventurers said nothing, only reported him repeatedly.

Then, Lin Xuan was targeted by the gods.

Although Lin Xuan was of the Transcendent Tier, he had many opponents in this world.

Under the gods' command, various Heroes were dispatched, determined to capture this cheater.

As a result, Lin Xuan led them on a chase across the world.

He was in the eighty-fifth layer one moment, the fifteenth layer the next, and then the ninety-ninth layer.

The gods and Heroes pursued him for two or three months before finally catching him... or rather, his black-grade longsword.

That’s right.

Lin Xuan knew he had angered the gods and would be seen no matter where he fled, so he simply abandoned his Physical Body, infused his Soul into his Flying Sword, and continued to escape.

However, these people didn't care about his Physical Body at all; they continued to chase the Flying Sword.

Ultimately, various Heroes captured this cheater in the first world.

The rest of the story was much like what the elf girl had said.

The gods discovered the benefits of Divine Authority over time and space.

They used this Divine Authority to create a gate that separated worlds.

And at this moment, Lin Xuan was the bolt on that gate.

“So, you are currently a Soul body residing within the sword? Like a Sword Spirit?”

After understanding the general situation, Qin Yang asked Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan replied, “More or less, but I can detach at any time. However, I can't now. Both the sword and I are in a void space. Once I detach from the sword body, I might become completely lost, unless someone guides me.”

“Guide you?” Qin Yang’s eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something.

“Yes, skills like Soul Guidance. Do you have such skills?” Lin Xuan asked.

Qin Yang curled his lips into a smile, saying, “I don't have the skill, but I do have the item. However, before guiding your Soul back to your Physical Body, Grandfather, you'll have to endure some hardship.”
