When the sword intent severed his Divine Soul, the Sword Spirit that struck him also awakened from its slumber, introducing itself in rage, thus revealing the name of the sword to him.
And since the Sword Spirit still existed and could unleash sword intent to wound him, it indicated that this sword was evidently still a perfectly intact Heaven-Connecting Spirit Treasure, not some degraded artifact!
However, it's puzzling why such a treasure would be left in the Myriad Fathom Sword Cavern by Tai Geng Divine Venerable, rather than being refined and used by himself.
Even if Tai Geng Divine Venerable's main body already possesses a flying sword of Heaven-Connecting Spiritual Treasure level, his incarnation could still use it!
If his incarnation had this [Roc Soaring Sword], in the previous great battle with the Demon Clan, both the so-called "Saint Junior Jin Xuan" and that Ice-Fire Demon Ape could have been easily slaughtered, avoiding the later predicament!
