At the instant the contract was concluded, a snow-white halo appeared around the long, black blade, enveloping it like the halo that surrounds the moon during an eclipse, making the entire blade look not only sharp but also possessing an unusual beauty.

"What a beautiful blade," Shen Qiang thought with joy.

Casually infusing True Yuan, Shen Qiang gently swung in the direction of the river's flow.

Whoosh!

Everywhere the sword light touched, the river waters within a hundred meters were immediately split in half.

"Strong! So strong!" Shen Qiang watched in awe.

Meanwhile, the young girl Kang Luoying, standing in the distance behind Shen Qiang, watched Shen Qiang in the river with eyes full of shock, because just moments ago, as the master of the Qingyun Sword, she had tried numerous times to recall her supreme Immortal Artifact, the Qingyun Sword.

Only to discover that the Qingyun Sword wouldn't obey her at all.

Not only that.

What shocked her even more was that she could clearly feel the excitement from the Qingyun Sword, as if it were a child seeing its mother, but no matter how it expressed its emotion, the black blade paid it no mind, completely projecting an air of 'I'm above you, just stand by the side.'

At this moment.

After the contract was successfully concluded, an exquisite beauty unwittingly appeared in Shen Qiang's mind, as he held the black blade. Her figure was graceful, unparalleled in beauty, radiating a sacred brilliance all over, so beautiful that Shen Qiang felt his heart almost stop.

Her body was perfect, her curves graceful.

A simple white robe and bare feet carved like jade adorned her.

Though her expression was cold, her beauty surpassed human boundaries, exceeding what ordinary words could describe.

If one must describe it, it would be like saying she could outshine the moon and make flowers shy away.

Even the brightest moon would pale beside her, and any flowering blossom would bashfully retreat upon seeing her.

"Unexpected, unexpected, that someone in this world still remembers the Contract of Illumination."

Shen Qiang was startled. What was the Contract of Illumination? The contract he just used was simply the highest-tier contract recorded in the Medical Saint Inheritance, known there as the Holy Contract.

"I am tired." After forming the contract, although she should have referred to herself as a servant, her calm tone inexplicably carried pride: "Do not bother me if there is nothing important."

Shen Qiang was stunned: "Who are you?"

The peerless Sword Soul cast an eye at Shen Qiang with a look as if saying 'how ignorant,' saying, "I am Taiyin Youying."

After speaking, she vanished in a flash.

Shen Qiang was astonished, feeling an undeniable dissatisfaction and thought to himself: "What the hell is Taiyin Youying? Damn it, you signed a contract with me, shouldn't you be kneeling to me?"

Almost simultaneously with Shen Qiang's pondering.

Qingxuan, who never appeared proactively to disturb Shen Qiang, suddenly appeared in his mind, but now her beautiful eyes were filled with awe and ecstasy as she said to Shen Qiang: "Congratulations, Master! To think you received the favor of the Holy God."

Looking at Qingxuan, whose eyes were filled with amazement, Shen Qiang was puzzled.

"Holy God? Qingxuan, what are you talking about? You are a True Immortal, is that Sword Soul even more powerful than you?"

Qingxuan let out a chuckle at those words, then wanted to speak seriously, yet couldn't suppress her laughter.

Her strange expression left Shen Qiang bewildered.

At this moment, Qingxuan, stifling her laughter, gently said: "To respond to the master, although Qingxuan is a True Immortal, compared to the Holy God Taiyin Youying, she is nothing more than an ant."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qiang was incredibly shocked.

"So formidable?"

Qingxuan said: "What Taiyin Youying represents is the most beautiful star in the night sky, the moon."

Shen Qiang was baffled: "You mean she's the Moon God?"

Qingxuan nodded seriously.

Shen Qiang's eyes brightened instantly, Moon God? No wonder she's so beautiful. No wonder she's so formidable; she even had the nerve to state that some mere dragon would dare approach her, indeed flying high with arrogance. With such a temperament, no doubt, she must be an old virgin.

And just then, the Wu Family's grandfather and grandson came to their senses.

Wu Zhaoyang said excitedly, "Blade Water Cutting, Grandpa, we've done it, it's a Divine Artifact!"

Wu Zhaoyang's grandfather looked at the horizontal blade in Shen Qiang's hand, trembling, and said: "Indeed, Blade Water Cutting is a Divine Artifact. Our Wu Family's treasured heirloom, the Holy Maiden Essence, was not wasted, good, good, good!"

Hearing this.

Shen Qiang leapt out of the river.

Though his clothes were wet, and his handmade Italian shoes were covered with mud, Shen Qiang was still in awe as he held the blade before the two of the Wu family, saying to Wu Zhaoyang's grandfather: "Old Wu, thank you for forging the soul for this blade."

Looking at the entirely black, slender long blade, the old Wu-family elder trembled and said: "To utilize it properly, this Holy Maiden Essence, which has been passed down the Wu family for a millennium, has never found a worthy vessel to harbor her. This blade contains Thunder Fallen Gold Iron and Soul-Gathering and Soul-Cleansing Sand, the best choice!"

As he spoke, the elderly Wu extended his hands, wanting to touch the black blade in Shen Qiang's hand.

Bang!

An invisible force suddenly appeared, directly knocking the elderly Wu away.

Shen Qiang was startled and hurriedly explained: "Old Wu, I did not do that deliberately."

Upon hearing this, the elderly Wu, supported by Wu Zhaoyang, stood up and laughed heartily: "Our ancestors did not deceive us, this blade is sentient, and those who are not her masters cannot touch it, this is her will, so Mr. Shen need not feel guilty."

Shen Qiang felt embarrassed and slightly helpless.

Actually, this blade is indeed the labor of Wu Zhaoyang and the old Wu-family elder.

Logically, not even letting them have a glance is indeed too discourteous.

Yet on the other hand, thinking about that peerless beauty Sword Spirit attached to this slender blade, touching the blade was akin to touching her, Shen Qiang truly did not want anyone else to touch his blade.

So immediately, Shen Qiang did not hesitate and thought of storing the blade.

However, just as he raised his hand to store the blade into the Storage Ring.

He suddenly felt a shock in his mind, and was alarmed to discover that the long black blade had already entered the Sea of Consciousness, standing proudly before his Nascent Soul.

Wow, she knows how to find her place, doesn't she?

Shen Qiang thought in his heart.

At this time, Wu Zhaoyang said enthusiastically: "Brother Qiang, this blade is styled after the Tang Dynasty horizontal blade, best at chopping, and because of the long, straight blade, best for armor-piercing. It can also thrust when necessary, its sharpness rivaling that of a sword."

Shen Qiang laughed: "Understood."

Then looking at the elder, Shen Qiang said: "Having acquired this Divine Blade today, I do not know how to express my gratitude. Should you have any needs, please do not hesitate to ask."

Upon hearing these words, the elderly Wu's eyes brightened, saying: "Mr. Shen, it was our desire to forge this blade for you with no expectation of reward, but I have an immodest request: if you encounter the people of the Ji Family at the Treasure Exhibition, please let the Wu family gain fame!"

Shen Qiang solemnly nodded upon hearing this and said: "Certainly."
