Seeing this scene, his heart surged with great joy.
If he hadn't guessed wrong, the Treasured Sword had already begun its initial nurturing.
It chose quite a day to do so, coinciding exactly with the completion of Qin Niu's new residence.
Had it gained sentience and deliberately chosen this day to present Qin Niu with a congratulatory gift?
Holding the Treasured Sword in hand, there was a new and different kind of feeling compared to before.
In the past, when he held it, it felt extremely comfortable and handy, as if it had been tailor-made for him. Now, holding it felt like holding a 'living' creature. It seemed as if it had life and had come alive.
He tried gripping it tightly and raising it.
Shick!
Brilliant, cohesive Blade Qi burst forth from the blade. It seemed to sense its master's intentions, resonating with his mind.
"Have you evolved sentience?"
Qin Niu looked at the Treasured Sword and asked.
Zing zing~!
It trembled, issuing its sword hum once more.
