Here's the translation:
The battle of Spirit Swords—how many years has it been since we've seen such a grand spectacle? Technically, at this level, it's no longer about the Sword Immortals. It's simply a competition between the rankings of two swords.
A sword is judged by its quality, which typically follows certain standards—similar to picking a good dog. But evidently, choosing a Spirit Sword is far more complex.
Swords, after all, are weapons. Theoretically, this ranking list could include axes, halberds, hooks, chains, hammers, and spears. Yet, it's still named the "Battle of Spirit Swords," which honestly just comes down to aesthetics. A Sword Immortal doesn't wield swords because they're exclusively bound to them; it's because swords look the most refined. Imagine a Sword Immortal flying through the skies with a gigantic hammer—then they would simply be called Thor.
Therefore, when evaluating weapons, the first standard is the material.
