1542 Empyrean Overlord's True Name

"What's your plan now?" Tian Qiyuan asked Zi Xuan sometime later.

"I don't know yet, but I'll let you know once I think of something. In the meantime, let me see your sword. I've been dying to take a look at it ever since I heard about it." Zi Xuan said, her voice filled with enthusiasm.

"Of course."

Tian Qiyuan retrieved his sword and held it before Zi Xuan.

"Oh…"

Even without a body, Zi Xuan could feel her entire existence trembling from excitement.

Once her excitement calmed down a little, she noticed the sword emitting a strange aura, almost as though it was trying to charm her soul.

However, after examining it for a little longer, she felt that something was off about it, and she couldn't pinpoint why she was feeling this way.

"It's definitely an otherwordly sword without equal, and don't misunderstand me for saying this," Zi Xuan muttered after a moment, "but it feels like there's something missing. It just doesn't feel complete, somehow."

Zi Xuan braced herself for Tian Qiyuan's reprimand, but to her surprise, he simply smiled at her.

"If anyone could tell, I knew it would be you, Zi Xuan." Tian Qiyuan chuckled.

Despite the multitude of admirers and expert blacksmiths who had seen the sword, none had noticed the subtle flaw that Zi Xuan pointed out.

"Huh? I was right?" Zi Xuan muttered in a dazed voice.

Tian Qiyuan nodded and said, "Indeed, you're right. As you pointed out, while the sword is finished, it's not truly complete. It's missing one key element, but this element isn't something that can be forged or crafted."
