This Is Not the Female Demon Lord I Remembered-Chapter 788 - 638: The Lights Never Go Out!

As Liang Yi and others anxiously waited, thousands of miles away, within a dark and profound cave, a Spirit Light quietly hovered in the empty space, bringing brightness to this sealed area.
Underneath the light, there sat and stood two Cultivators with extremely similar temperaments, like two sharp swords, creating somewhat of a heavy atmosphere.
"Is there really no other way, Ancestral Uncle Master?"
A hoarse voice suddenly echoed throughout the cave, Ke Mengzhan squinted with one eye tightly shut and the other eyelid drooping, looking somewhat sorrowfully at the former Sect Master of Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool, his Ancestral Uncle Master.
The Cultivator sitting in front of Ke Mengzhan looked young but possessed an extremely aged temperament; it was Qiu Nanfeng.
"Cough cough! It is already quite good to temporarily deceive the Abyss Will's Investigation. After being eroded by Abyss Demon Qi, it is completely impossible to fully eliminate the branding of the Abyss Will."
Hearing Ke Mengzhan's question, Qiu Nanfeng smiled helplessly. If it were possible to get rid of the control of the Abyss Will, he would be willing even if it cost him his life.
But at this moment, his sitting in front of Ke Mengzhan was not to pose, but because he no longer had legs to stand on.
His legs had been personally severed by Ke Mengzhan! And he, in turn, had blinded one of Ke Mengzhan's eyes.
Up until just recently, within Ke Mengzhan's Qianyuan Sword Intent, a strange Sword Intent lingered at the wound of his severed legs, continually depriving him of his Vitality.
However, it was also precisely because Ke Mengzhan had severely injured him that the seal he had set for himself countless years ago began to loosen, allowing him to temporarily regain his own will.
Once, in his pursuit of breakthrough, he had ignored the persuasion of the leader of the Zen sect and insisted on entering the sealing area north of Beimo alone. He had not expected that the Abyss Will, even when wounded, would force a crack open to pull him into the Abyss.
Even now, with his peak power within the Ninth Realm, he was powerless to resist the Abyss Will, let alone back when he was only at the Seventh Realm.
The Abyss did not kill him. Instead, it continuously attempted to erode him into an Abyss Cultivator with Abyss Demon Qi. Fortunately, his will was firm, and he endured for hundreds of years.
During those hundreds of years, he gradually realized that there was likely no escape from the clutches of the Abyss Will. Since the outcome was already determined, he changed his approach.
Hundreds of years of torment, although his cultivation did not progress, his sword heart became increasingly clear and pure, and his Sword Intent became unparalleled in the world!
Using his Sword Intent and sword heart, which far exceeded his own Realm, he spent decades creating a new sealing technique, sealing part of his True Spirit deep within his Divine Soul, leaving only some basic instinctive thoughts outside.
While deceiving the Abyss Will, it also prevented others from becoming suspicious.
This way, once the seal was released in the future, his True Spirit could return and take over his body, temporarily freeing himself from the influence of the Abyss Will.
Until today, the basic instincts he left behind sensed the same origin of Qi on Ke Mengzhan and took the initiative to seek him out.
During their confrontation, Ke Mengzhan broke through to the Ninth Realm, gaining complete control over the Qianyuan Sword Embryo. The supreme firmness and yang energy of Qianyuan Sword Intent surged, directly severing his legs.
Ke Mengzhan's sword stroke not only severed his legs but also cracked the seal deep within his Divine Soul.
"Can't you even... commit suicide?"
Ke Mengzhan clenched his teeth and asked.
Hearing this question, Qiu Nanfeng could only helplessly shake his head.
Once one becomes an Abyss Cultivator, especially one at the peak of the Ninth Realm as a Sword Cultivator, how could the Abyss Will possibly allow them to die at will?
Even after death, their Divine Souls would not be reincarnated but would be absorbed into the being of the Abyss Will, to be reborn after endless eons!
Ke Mengzhan gripped his sword tightly, his sword eyebrows furrowed, and the Sword Intent exuding from his body became even more fierce.
"Don't let your Mental State be disturbed, have you forgotten the teachings of the Heavenly Pool?"
Noticing the change in Ke Mengzhan's aura, Qiu Nanfeng furrowed his brows and chided quietly.
"...This disciple acknowledges his mistake!"
After taking a deep breath and exhaling, Ke Mengzhan silently operated the Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool's Cultivation Technique, smoothing out all the stray thoughts in his heart before bowing to Qiu Nanfeng in the manner of a Heavenly Pool disciple.
"Sword Cultivators have the world's greatest prowess in fighting and killing. It's not that Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool forbids you from feeling anger or sorrow, but it hopes that even when your Mental State is severely shaken, you can still think calmly and not be driven by emotion."
Qiu Nanfeng reiterated a principle known to every disciple upon entering the Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool to Ke Mengzhan.
He was very satisfied with Ke Mengzhan, the present Chief of the Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool. Whether in terms of talent or brilliance, both were extraordinary. With him, the Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool would be worry-free for a thousand years.
However, that worry-free state still hinged on the Mystical Mechanism Continent remaining stable.
"My time is limited, so I'll be brief."
Qiu Nanfeng took a deep breath, his expression turning solemn.
"I will infuse all my cultivation into your Sword Intent Domain. What you must do is to replace me, and with your sword in hand, continue to guard the Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool!"
"Ancestral Uncle Master!"
Ke Mengzhan suddenly looked up, incredulously at the person before him.
What Qiu Nanfeng was giving him was not his cultivation because for a Sword Cultivator, cultivation is actually secondary; Sword Intent and sword heart are paramount!
And Qiu Nanfeng possessed, were the Perfect sword heart honed by Abyss Demon Qi for hundreds of years, and his memory-severing Sword Intent.
