On the eve of the Guifeng Bureau's ascension ceremony, all swords collectively broke free from the sword racks, yet were defined as runaway sword implements. Shen Tingxian, who possesses the ability to peek into the past of broken swords, and partner Xie Linchuan investigated the truth, discovering that the so-called ascension heavenly ladder was actually piled up by using forced master-binding seals to coerce sword spirits unwilling to acknowledge masters. The two recovered the old double pacts, and Elder Wen Shuo also confessed past faults. Everyone rushed into the core array chamber before the completion of the ceremony, abolished the forced engravings, and let every sword spirit possess the right to freely choose to stay or go. The Guifeng Bureau re-established the new sword registry, humans and swords contract bidirectionally with full willingness, and all things attain freedom.
