"Restore." The Sword God said while putting on a small smile. As soon as the realm acknowledged his command, it then started enveloping Alex and him inside a warm embrace of Spiritual Energy, recovering the body parts as if they were turning back time.

"…" Alex fell silent and observed the Sword God's expression, finding the change in his attitude absurd. He still remembered how the Sword God called him an insignificant piece of sh*t. And he could see how the Sword God actually praised him.

"What?!" He narrowed his eyes. "Do you think it's weird to act like that to make someone use all his strength without holding back?"

"…" Alex hesitated for a second, but with the other party's expression had turned better, he decided to ask. "Was all of that fake?"

"Not really. I did hate you in the past, and I just couldn't meet someone who I didn't recognize face to face. To talk to me, you need to make a name worthy first, and you have just proved your worth." He shook his head, telling Alex the truth behind his actions.

"So, I am qualified now?"

"Barely. I can see a lot of potentials in your techniques, but I am still concerned for your future…" He shook his head. "Although part of it comes from the one you need to defeat, I still worry about your future techniques. For example, there is something missing in your Sword and Spear Possession.

"The former you could achieve mastery because the consciousness of his intents was so strong that it could boost him to an unprecedented level. But look at you, you have completely dissolved the consciousness. No matter the case, you won't be able to utilize the maximum power of that technique. Tch, even though he got the inspiration from me."

"He… I mean, the previous me got the inspiration from you?" Alex widened his eyes as he remembered the fact that Alex didn't really have a good relationship with the Sword God.

"What?! Is it incomprehensible for you?" He smiled. "Despite having so many Rank 2 Gods, there was only ten Rank 1 Gods in the past. On one hand, those Rank 2 Gods couldn't really understand the view we had.

"Although many of us hated each other, they were the ones that understood us the most… Which is why I wept tears when I heard that all those Gods actually died under the scheme of that beast and when the Spirit God was slain by the beast itself. My body couldn't help but tremble with rage.

"At that time, I personally slain everyone from Earth that had even a little bit of cultivation in their body. Yeah, I was the one leading the last operation, including the expelling process. With the last bit of restriction, I, too, had injuries that I couldn't heal and decided to pass away in this world while leaving some inheritances." The Sword God smiled while looking up as if he was reminiscing the memories of the past.

"…" Alex stared at him before asking. "In that case, I need to add another skill in my repertoire to boost my power."

"Indeed. There are two things in my mind after looking at your techniques. The first will be the weapons' consciousness. Since the intent can't be used, you need the replacement. This way, it will surely boost the power behind the Sword and Spear Possession. Of course, you need to increase the amount of your Sword and Spear Qi, but it only affects the time limit, so you can take your time with it.

"As for the second way… It's simply to create a Pure Qi."

"A Pure Qi?"

"Yes. Have you felt that your Sword Qi couldn't actually merge with the other energies such as your elements or Divine Energy?"

"Indeed." Alex nodded before he realized what he wanted to say. He immediately opened his eyes wide, staring at the Sword God. "Don't tell me; you want me to…"

"Yeah. I want you to create the same qi as mine, the Pure Sword Qi. Unlike an ordinary Sword Qi that contains every piece of elements and other things contained in the air, you will create a Sword Qi that is purely Sword Qi… In other words, it will be elementless."

"A Pure Sword Qi…" Alex sweatdropped.

"I believe any of those who actually became Rank 1 God had something beyond Pure Element. Once I met a God King known as Bow God, and yeah, he cultivated a similar type of energy like my Pure Sword Qi. I didn't know what its name was, but it was something powerful indeed." He nodded with a serious expression.

"Still, doesn't it look inappropriate for me to learn this? Not that I decline it though." Alex scratched the back of his head. Considering the Sword God cared about his planet, it would surely weird for him to make Alex learn instead of the people in this world.

"What? Since you don't decline it, just learn it." He shrugged. "There was only one person that I deemed worthy of my Pure Sword Qi and became the Sect Leader of my Unsurpassed Blade Sect. Unfortunately, he stuck on Rank 2 God as he was too reliant on my Pure Sword Qi, unable to make something of his own.

"Different from him, you already have Fire God's Godly Pure Fire, Dungeon God's Unique Space Element, and the Spirit God's Sword and Spear Dual Wielding. These three should have been engraved deeply in your skills, but it seems you have harmonized them well. In that case, it will be a trick that only you can use.

"That's what I see in your Spear Technique, the one that had a delayed attack of your fire. It was something amazing, but at the same time, it wasn't. That was why your Sword Technique impressed me the most. The moment you fused four types of energy inside, I was mind blown and thought, "Why don't we add one more?"

"…" Alex twitched his eyebrows as he asked with a hesitant tone. "You are not going to tell me to create Pure Sword Qi and Pure Spear Qi and fuse them to create Five Purities Slash, right?"

"That's exactly what I want you to do. I bet it's going to be powerful." He nodded with confidence. "Just take a look at it, your technique contains three purities for the time being: the fuel, which is the Divine Energy, the boost, which is the elements, and the blade, which is your two intents. In addition to that, you have created the fourth purity, the consciousness. For a second, the weapons that should have no consciousness were forced to awaken to create a small consciousness. That was what your Sword and Spear Possession did earlier.

"You can use the Sword and Spear Qi to become the fifth purity, but since you are at it, why don't you just create the stronger one? I bet your achievement is going to be bigger than me…" He shrugged.

"Ehm…" Whatever the reason, he felt a bit happy when the Sword God praised him that much. After all, it was praise coming from the man who mastered the way of sword.

"I know how you bastard feels right now. I want to request something from you when you have resolved everything. I know all this because your previous life visited me before he died. Anyway, my request is simple.

"When everything is over, I want you to make a person in this world your disciple. I am not talking about a real disciple. You only need to teach my Pure Sword Qi to one person in this world, but I want you to choose a person with the highest talent, and you can't snatch him from this world.

"As much as I hate to say it, your eye for talent is better than mine. That's why when the disciple comes, I will make him my disciple."

"I see. You want me to groom someone until he or she is ready to be your disciple?"

"Yeah. I want you to put all your heart into this because I don't like a half-baked one."

"Alright. I can do that after I have resolved everything."

"The second will be to protect this world if it happens to make an enemy that it can't afford. You only need to do it once."

"Hmm…" He narrowed his eyes, a bit hesitant to agree to this request.

"Of course, if it is too big, you don't need to rescue this world. I just want you to use your spare strength to protect this world once in the future. At the same time, I will give you one more payment."

"What is it?" Alex's expression became serious when he heard an additional payment. Everything the Sword God gave would surely be good, so he had big anticipation.

"It's not for you though." He shook his head and found a slight change in Alex's expression. He then waved his hand, creating a small window. The figure inside that window was actually Aria. "She is the one with you, right? I have seen her talent, and yes, she has indeed a peerless talent, one that rarely appears in this world. If she is groomed well, she will be able to go against those old guys at the top of the sects.

"As expected of your eyes should I say? Anyway, I am sure you want to snatch this girl from this world, so I will be grooming her for you. I won't be teaching something hard since I will only give one or two of my techniques to her. In addition, you are free to teach the Pure Sword Qi to her. How is that?"

Alex closed his eyes and felt it was a pretty good offer. "Alright then. I will agree to your offer."

"Sure. But before meeting her, I will teach you the essence of my Pure Sword Qi." The Sword God took a deep breath and started explaining. "First of all, the Pure Sword Qi is simply stripping any other energy from the Sword Qi.

"If you take the process of the creation of your Divine Sword Qi into account, it simply takes one more process. It's a kind of expelling impurities in the Sword Qi. This is easier to practice when you already have Divine Sword Qi for two reasons.

"First, the impurities inside your Sword Qi is not that much because most of them have been removed when you turn the Spiritual Energy into Divine Energy. The second reason is that it won't be automatically converted when you have your Divine Tribulation… Which sucks.

"I am sure that you have only gotten the Sword and Spear Possession technique when you have reached God Stage. Correct me if I am wrong."

"No, you are completely right." Alex shook his head. It seemed that his previous self had predicted this himself, and it might be because he knew about it that he only gave this technique on that planet. "Still, I am curious about one thing. You said that my previous self learned this technique from you."

"It's my Sword Eye. Unlike your Spirit Eyes, my Sword Eyes are capable of two things, and you have seen both of them. The first is the burst of energy and the second thing is the possession to increase one's abilities by using a huge amount of Sword Qi. It's a kind of fusing two bodies into one. You have seen how powerful it is, albeit it takes too much power."

"I see. That's a good technique to be honest."

"You can't use it though, or it will clash with your Spirit Eyes. Well, suppose you want to abandon your Spirit Eyes. In that case, I don't really mind because I will be able to paint the reincarnation of the Spirit God in my color." He grinned evilly.

"No thank you."

"Anyway, the expelling process is a bit hard. You will need to have a huge amount of concentration, and the time you need to take to create this type of Qi is very long. It can even delay your cultivation."
