The man's eyes were filled with astonishment.
"Gu San, what are you doing?"
"Still holding that broken sword? Hurry up, let's go!"
The other cultivators had already gathered some materials they deemed useful and were ready to leave. They were starting to lose patience after waiting for Gu San.
"Alright!" Gu San's heart started racing. He subconsciously gripped the sword in his hand tighter.
This sword was no ordinary weapon!
It was very likely… a celestial-grade sword!

"I've really turned into a sword again," Ye Fan said helplessly.
After living as a human for so many years on Earth, he had finally adapted. Now, he had once again become a sword.
He calmed himself down, and as he recalled the conversations among those cultivators, the fury in his heart began to subside.
"I have no choice but to become stronger."
"No matter what kind of saint they are, when I am strong enough, I will slay them all!" Ye Fan muttered to himself.
Although saints were said to possess boundless powers, they should not be able to sense his existence, right?
Otherwise, he would have been destroyed along with all the other particle worlds.
"It's a shame we didn't find anything useful."
One of the cultivators sighed as they moved forward.
Boom, boom—
Suddenly, the entire space trembled slightly.
What's happening?
Feeling the tremor, the group froze for a moment.
"More debris falling down! Run!"
They quickly reacted, realizing that more waste material from the particle worlds was falling from above.
This place was like a cosmic junkyard.
Boom, boom—
Countless objects rained down from the sky.
The group quickly retreated, watching as the debris piled up behind them like a towering mountain. They breathed a sigh of relief.
Being buried under all that wouldn't be good.

"It's so hard to level up?" Ye Fan was stunned when he saw the system's interface.
Just as the cultivators stepped outside, they were met with a dark mass of creatures.
"Black Demon Wolves."
The three cultivators' expressions immediately changed upon seeing the scene.
These Black Demon Wolves were aggressive and often lurked in the area.
"Kill them!" One of the cultivators shouted, raising his sword to face the wolves.
Gu San, gripping the mysterious sword, felt a rush of excitement.
He was eager to see what effect the sword would have on these creatures!
Roar—
Before they could even advance, the Black Demon Wolves bared their fangs and leaped toward them.
"Die!!!" Gu San gritted his teeth and thrust the sword into one of the wolves' open mouths!
In an instant, the blade pierced straight through the Black Demon Wolf's head!
[Killed Black Demon Wolf, gained 30 evolution points]
As the wolf was slain, a system notification appeared in Ye Fan's mind.
"Thirty evolution points... I wonder how long it'll take to evolve," Ye Fan muttered to himself.
Meanwhile, the Black Demon Wolf's blood was swiftly absorbed by the sword!
The blood not only sharpened the blade but also transferred a surge of energy into Gu San's body.
This energy…
Feeling the steady flow of energy into his body, Gu San's breathing quickened.
It was much faster than any cultivation method he had ever known!
By killing these beasts and absorbing their blood, he could gain energy!
This would allow him to rapidly increase his strength!
Thinking this, Gu San grew even more excited.
Kill!!!
He roared internally and swung his sword with all his might.
[Killed Tier-3 Black Demon Wolf, gained 30 evolution points]
[Killed Tier-3 Black Demon Wolf, gained 30 evolution points]
...
As one Black Demon Wolf after another fell to the ground, the system's notifications kept ringing.
[Evolution points have reached 10,000. Ready to evolve.]
At this moment, the system's evolution prompt appeared!
"Can I evolve now?!" Ye Fan was overjoyed at the sight of the prompt.
Finally, he could escape the state of being a broken sword and evolve!
Ye Fan couldn't help but feel excited.
"Yes!" Without hesitation, Ye Fan immediately chose to upgrade!
Buzz, buzz—
Gu San, who was holding the sword, suddenly felt it begin to vibrate.
What's happening?!
Gu San froze in shock.
Upon closer inspection, he saw that the sword in his hand was changing!
The once-battered blade was now transforming into a normal-looking long sword!
[Host]: Ye Fan
[Sword Name]: Ordinary Long Sword (Forged from special metals, now a regular sword with decent sharpness)
[Quality]: Sharp
[Passive Skills]: Bloodthirst (absorbs blood to nourish the blade and transfers part of the energy to the host)
Cursed (This sword contains intense resentment. Users who are not strong enough will be plagued by bad luck)
"Finally evolved."
"It's still the same as before."
"But why did the quality change to 'Sharp'?"
"It seems a bit different from before..." Ye Fan muttered to himself.
"Damn Black Demon Wolves!"
Meanwhile, some of the cultivators had been injured, and they gritted their teeth as they applied healing powder to their wounds.
The Black Demon Wolves had been numerous, and they had already faced countless of them in a short period of time.
"San, you're not hurt?" One of the cultivators glanced at Gu San.
"No," Gu San shook his head.
He subconsciously gripped the long sword in his hand tighter.
"Huh? Is that the broken sword you dug up earlier?" The cultivator asked, noticing the sword Gu San was holding.
Upon closer inspection, he could clearly see that Gu San's sword was unlike the others.
Its color was a strange silver-black, a sign that it had been crafted from special metals.
