Tai'a

Tai'a is the famed flying sword wielded by Lin Qian during the struggle for Great Peace City's treasure. Its exceptionally responsive blade focuses his sword arts, anchors a seven-sword wheel, and enables the attack that wounds Yu Shuang. Lin Qian ultimately sacrifices it to force out a final strike against Xiao Mo Ge. (Chapters 621–626)

History

The battle for Great Peace City

Lin Qian reveals Tai'a when Yu Shuang's Rose Greenery Domain blocks his path to the treasure pavilion. The sword responds to its wielder's excitement, grows clearer under power, and concentrates a burning point at its tip. Lin Qian uses that edge to cut through the overlapping field and wound Yu Shuang in one strike, intimidating the battlefield before three hidden experts halt his advance and dim the blade. (Chapters 621–622)

When the Anti Dragon Claw emerges, Lin Qian keeps Tai'a at the center of seven cooperating Kun Lun swords. The wheel defends him while he drives toward the stone stele, and Tai'a withstands both the released weapon's vicious energy and coordinated attacks from multiple shen-power cultivators. The strain leaves sword and wielder under mounting pressure rather than granting either invulnerability. (Chapters 623–625)

With the sword wheel failing and Xiao Mo Ge joining the opposition, Lin Qian uses a secret method to exceed the power his body and weapon can safely sustain. Tai'a releases a final, large-scale strike and melts in the process. The attack devastates the city but is stopped by the Anti Dragon Claw; Lin Qian survives wounded and leaves without the sword. (Chapter 626)

Abilities and properties

• Responsive flying sword: Tai'a hums in answer to Lin Qian and follows the fine control of his sword art. This response is a weapon's resonance with its wielder; the corpus does not establish an independent personality or separate decision-making mind. (Chapter 621)
• Clarity and focused light: Its body resembles a clear spring and becomes still clearer under power, while a bright point forms at the tip. That concentration helps Lin Qian cleave Yu Shuang's Domain and focus later attacks. (Chapters 621–622)
• Formation core: Lin Qian places Tai'a at the center of a wheel formed from seven additional Kun Lun swords and their different sword essences. Tai'a coordinates that formation but does not own or absorb the other blades. (Chapter 624)
• Limits: Extended resistance dims the sword, and Lin Qian judges it inferior to the Anti Dragon Claw and Kun Lun's ancient sealed weapons. His final forced release destroys Tai'a outright, so its greatest displayed attack is not repeatable. (Chapters 622–626)
