Chapter 5008: Truly the Man I Admire

"Regret? Hehehe… it's too late." Xiao Fan shook his head disdainfully.

"You… Xiao Fan, you are heartless! Don't kill me! I was wrong! I was wrong!!" Yu Deyou's shouts echoed from within the Divine Sword.

However, Yu Deyou's voice grew weaker and weaker…

With Xiao Fan's help, the Artifact Spirit easily crushed Yu Deyou and took complete control of the ancient sword.

"Hahaha… I have risen!" The Artifact Spirit was extremely excited.

The next moment, Xiao Fan felt his own Essence Blood permeating the Divine Sword, granting him complete control over it.

Xiao Fan smiled, waved his hand, and the Divine Sword flew into his palm.

This was the Artifact Spirit's doing. After mastering the ancient sword, it surrendered itself completely to Xiao Fan, ensuring that there would be no backlash in the future.

Back when Xiao Fan was insignificant, the Artifact Spirit had been by his side, even shattering itself for his sake…

Xiao Fan trusted the Artifact Spirit completely.

"Hahaha… Is it impressive? Big Brother?!" The Artifact Spirit exclaimed excitedly.

Xiao Fan swung the Divine Sword, feeling the resonance of heaven and earth, along with the power to sever the Power of Fortune.

"Not bad… very good!" Xiao Fan nodded with satisfaction.

Putting aside Yu Deyou's character, his skills in Artifact Refining were truly far ahead of the rest.

This Divine Sword was undoubtedly comparable to a chaos divine treasure.

Moreover, the Divine Sword also possessed the power to sever the Power of Fortune that Xiao Haotian had left behind in the ancient sword.

"What is this sword called?" Xiao Fan asked curiously.

"Name? It doesn't have one!" The Artifact Spirit's voice came from within the ancient sword.

The star chart and the black ring both appeared before Xiao Fan.

The black ring was called the void ring, and the full name of the star chart was the Zhou Tian Star Chart.

But the Divine Sword did not have a name of its own…

Xiao Fan was curious and asked for the reason. According to the star chart's explanation, they had developed self-awareness after their birth, and they had all chosen their own names.

However, Xiao Fan's Divine Sword had just been born; before its own consciousness could even gestate, it was occupied by the Artifact Spirit, so it would not develop its own sentience later.

Therefore, the ancient sword had no name, and Xiao Fan could name it whatever he wanted…

"A name, huh… Let's call it the tianming sword." Xiao Fan smiled.

"The tianming sword?!"

"That's a good name."

"I think it's great too."

"…"

The star chart, the void ring, Wanxiang, and the others all nodded, agreeing that the name tianming sword was good.

Only Xiao Fan knew the true intention behind naming it the tianming sword.

Xiao Fan had successfully consecrated the sword, and with the tianming sword's augmentation, his strength surged. At this moment, he even considered engaging the Heavenly Emperor and the Ghost Lord in battle.

Xiao Fan entered the Dream of Heaven and Sea, allowing himself to undergo Fusion with the tianming sword… Within his consciousness, he engaged in countless battles and training sessions.

Xiao Fan performed simulations to see what his odds of winning would be if he were to fight the Ghost Lord and the Heavenly Emperor…

Unfortunately, in the end, Xiao Fan abandoned this idea; he was not yet a match for the Heavenly Emperor or the Ghost Lord.

He was still lacking a bit of seasoning…

But in Xiao Fan's eyes, that day was not far off.

In a flash, a year passed…

Xiao Fan awoke and looked at Ye Miaoyin, Xiao Qing, and Xiao Xuan; they were still in seclusion, their auras stable, so he did not need to worry.

Afterward, Xiao Fan left. Once he was far away from where Ye Miaoyin and the others were in seclusion, he took out the Token used to contact the Shengtian Mansion.

After Xiao Fan had left previously, he had placed a Seal on the Token.

Otherwise, Cheng Yushi and the others would have long since found Xiao Fan's tracks…

…

As soon as Xiao Fan removed the Seal from the Token, Cheng Yushi sensed Xiao Fan's location.

"He has appeared…" Cheng Yushi, who was far away in the Nether Ghost Mansion, was startled.

Then, before Cheng Yushi could set off, he received a message from Xiao Fan through the Token.

"Brother Cheng, long time no see…"

Cheng Yushi was stunned, then started to laugh: "Truly the man I admire; he is really not simple…"

Cheng Yushi smiled and did not set off to find Xiao Fan, but instead replied… "Brother Wei, no! Brother Xiao, long time no see."
