The Sword-Cleansing Pool was once filled to the brim with Jade Pool Golden Water.
Countless famous swords were born here, where the cultivators of the Taibai Sword Sect would forge and refine their blades.
They would also toss the flying swords broken and damaged in combat into the pool. These blades would melt into the water, making the pool increasingly mystical.
With the aid of the Jade Pool Golden Water, a Sword Cultivator could complete the refinement of their Lifebound Flying Sword in just a year or two.
For an ordinary Sword Cultivator, the same process would take a century.
No one knew the origins of the Sword-Cleansing Pool. Much like the Sect itself, and its Cultivation Technique, the Cave Profound Godslaying Sword Scripture, its history was shrouded in mystery.
The Sword Tempering Spirit Water, now popular among mid-level Sword Cultivators, was in fact inspired by the Sword-Cleansing Pool.
Ten thousand years passed, changing everything.
