Li Yuanba had another matter to deal with, that was the cold frost Sword Intent within his body.
This cold frost Sword Intent had been devoured by his Corpse-refined body, completely losing its aggressiveness; furthermore, with the death of his master, Elder Shi Ming the Great Elder, the spiritual consciousness within the Sword Intent dissipated as well.
After Li Yuanba's transformation from a Corpse-refined state into a human state, this cold frost Sword Intent still remained inside his body. Though it no longer had any aggressiveness, it was after all not naturally his own.
He had originally planned to transform back into the Corpse-refined state and have the body in that state absorb it for his own use.
But after perceiving the cold frost Sword Intent, he had another thought.
Now that the cold frost Sword Intent lacked aggressiveness and had no owner, perhaps he could attempt to absorb it in his human state.
