Upon hearing that the God of Manifestation Zennos was offering such fine wine as a reward, the way everyone looked at Vorthis instantly became intense.
This was incredible!
Such a small bottle of wine was hardly enough for Qingxu to drink.
But now, to offer this as a reward—wasn't it just some experience in swordsmanship? What was the harm in imparting it to Zennos?
Qingxu looked at Vorthis and immediately broke into a bright smile.
"Zennos, you're too polite. Even if you didn't offer this wine as a reward, I've already decided you're my brother!"
"As brothers, if you want to learn my sword techniques, I can't refuse!"
The God of Swords Qingxu said, his tone resolute.
Yes, Qingxu was definitely not someone who would sell his swordsmanship for a little wine!
You see, Zennos, the God of Manifestation, was his brother!
This was brotherly love; isn't it normal for brothers to exchange techniques and learn from each other?
Vorthis cupped his hands in gratitude. "Then I thank you, Brother Qingxu!"
"Come, let me treat you to a drink, and we can put sword training aside for now."
With that, Vorthis manifested a bottle of Arak liquor and placed it into the space, retrieving it again and filling Qingxu's cup to the brim.
"Hahaha, Zennos, you're a man of action! Let's raise our glasses and drink!" Qingxu said, incredibly pleased.
Vorthis also filled his own cup and clinked glasses with Qingxu.
When he manifested this body, he had drained a part of his original power. While it didn't reach Morax's peak strength, it was still the body of a top-tier god.
A mere drink was no challenge at all—he could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, no problem.
Let Vorthis show what it meant to drink as if it were water.
"Cheers!"
Both Vorthis and Qingxu drank to their heart's content.
They were enjoying their drinks together.
It wasn't until the next day that Qingxu suggested imparting his swordsmanship experience to Vorthis.
Vorthis and Qingxu went to a secluded patch of land in the wilderness near Qingxu Harbor, an area with no one around, perfect for training.
Qingxu, the God of Swords, turned to Vorthis and spoke.
"As the God of Swords, my body is a sword that can cut through anything in the world, named the Qingxu Sword, which is also the origin of my name."
"Since this is about swordsmanship, the first thing you need is a sword."
"Do you, Zennos, have a sword of your own?"
A sword of his own?
This question genuinely stumped Vorthis. His role had always been that of a mage, and a mage without even a magic tool—how could he possibly have a sword?
However, this wasn't too difficult for Vorthis. As the God of Manifestation, this wasn't a big deal.
Since he didn't have a sword, why not manifest one?
Vorthis began to visualize in his mind. First, this sword had to match his own temperament. His manifested god power was white.
So, the sword should be simple.
A black, intricately designed hilt, followed by a silver-white blade.
But even this felt a little too plain.
It looked like an ordinary sword, without any remarkable features.
Since he was a God, surely his sword should have some light radiance, right? That would make sense.
Thus, a groove was carved along the blade, emitting a soft white glow, in perfect alignment with his manifested divine power.
Once the general appearance was decided, it was time to enchant it.
It needed to be sturdy enough to withstand attacks from top-tier Gods, yet sharp enough to cut through space, and...
Forget it, he couldn't ask for more. If he went any further, he might damage his own essence.
Ahem... Vorthis still had some self-awareness.
This was enough!
Manifest!
With that, Vorthis felt that about 80% of his power was consumed.
In the end, within his space, a sword that looked extraordinarily remarkable was materialized.
Qingxu saw that Zennos was silent for a moment and thought it was because he was feeling awkward about not having a sword.
It was no big deal.
If worse came to worst, Qingxu could just give him one!
But before Qingxu could speak, Vorthis beat him to it.
"I didn't have one before, but I do now."
"This sword is called the Broken Void Sword."
A simple and ordinary name, just like the sword's appearance, yet hidden within its simplicity was a deadly force, capable of breaking through space at any moment.
This sword meant "to sever the void!"
Vorthis held the Broken Void Sword in his right hand and gently ran his left hand over the blade, his eyes scanning it as if gazing at a beloved person.
He truly loved this sword.
On the other hand, when Qingxu saw the sword, he froze for a moment.
This sword, this sword!
Just the appearance alone was extraordinary.
Which ordinary sword would emit white light?
As the God of Swords, Qingxu had the highest authority in swordsmanship. He could feel the immense power within this sword!
What a fine sword—"Broken Void!"
It was likely capable of severing space itself!
Breaking through space was something that, among top-tier gods, could be considered a relatively "simple" feat with enough effort.
But this was a peerless skill, condensed into a single strike.
Yet this sword already possessed the ability to break the void. It was sharp enough to slice through space.
Was this really a sword that could exist in this world?
The God of Swords, Qingxu, felt a bit embarrassed as the God of Swords—why couldn't his own Qingxu Sword break the void?
He might as well let this Broken Void Sword become the God of Swords.
However, the God of Swords was still cool-headed. Even such a sword, if wielded by an ordinary person, wouldn't be able to unleash its full power.
Thus, he had to teach Zennos everything he knew, so Zennos could wield this sword and unlock its maximum potential.
That would make his life complete!
"Zennos, this Broken Void Sword is indeed a fine sword!"
"With your youthful appearance, it's a perfect match—one might even say it was tailor-made for you."
Qingxu praised.
It seemed that Qingxu didn't quite understand the full meaning of Vorthis's words, "I didn't have one before, but I do now."
This sword wasn't just tailor-made—it was absolutely custom-built!
Completely developed, innovated, upgraded, and owned by Vorthis, with complete intellectual property rights to the Broken Void Sword!
Ahem...
Vorthis made a gesture to sheathe the sword.
Then, looking at Qingxu, he said, "Haha, thanks for the praise."
"Hahaha, Zennos, no time to waste, I will now impart all my swordsmanship to you!" Qingxu said with a carefree laugh.
Well, he didn't need to teach everything.
Why did it suddenly feel like Qingxu was putting so much more effort into this?
Oh dear, it looked like he'd have to give even more Arak liquor in return.
But Vorthis was, of course, thrilled to learn the swordsmanship of the God of Swords.
