"Then how should these sixteen words be interpreted?"
"The phrase 'all are mine' is interpreted correctly, which is the very destination this sword method aims to reach. The 'Spirit Blossom' phrase points out the path toward 'all are mine.'" Ming Qi Tian spoke softly, "Among these sixteen words, which word do you think is the core?"
"...Life?"
Ming Qi Tian nodded, "Life. The correctness of interpretation hinges right here."
"I've actually been confused about this part too, Miss Ming... 'Life' isn't it just the meaning of life?" Pei Ye frowned slightly, "'Life as fire,' it resembles the notion of burning life... But that would deviate towards Shang Huaitong's path... and it also differs greatly from the temperament conveyed earlier."
"Here, the ancient meaning should be taken," Ming Qi Tian said, lightly touching the ink characters on the scroll, "Do you know what script this is?"
"...It looks... quite old..."
The woman softly commended, "Indeed, very old."
