Chapter 628: An Agile Response
Many top-notch experts from around the world went all out against Cang Yuan and yet they were still unable to equal him. In the end, it was only because he was betrayed by his own beloved that his rivals got what they wanted.
Ling Chuxi suddenly understood why she felt such infinite sorrow from the sword spirit earlier.
“For millions of years, countless people have been searching for the Cang Yuan Sword shards, yet not a single person has succeeded. Even if they did, they would encounter accidents or be killed a mere few days later, and the Cang Yuan Sword shards they found would once again disappear without a trace,” said Huangfu Qingjue. “If I am not guessing wrongly, that Luo Chen Sword of yours is actually harboring the Cang Yuan Sword’s spirit.
Ling Chuxi nodded. Thinking back to when she had first bought the Luo Chen Sword, didn’t the shop attendant also say as much? That this was a dangerous sword. That no matter who bought it, an accident would happen to them within the next few days, and they would always return the sword to the shop as a result. Due to this, the shop had originally wanted to send the Luo Chen Sword to the furnace for remodeling, but before they could, she had bought it because it caught her eye.
However, why was it that no accidents had happened to her? Thinking about it, it was likely because of her Nine Gloom Absolute Meridians.
As she stood in the dark thinking about it, even Ling Chuxi herself did not know whether she herself had chosen a sword related to the Cang Yuan Sword in a moment of excitement or if it had chosen her instead due to her Nine Gloom Absolute Meridians.
“That’s right, just now you mentioned that the sword essence is mainly to kill, what does it mean?” Ling Chuxi asked.
“After the Cang Yuan Sword broke into shards, hearsay it was split into seven parts. Sword Spirit, Sword Soul, Sword Essence, Sword Heart, Sword Might, Sword Force, and Sword Path. Amongst them, the sword spirit is the leading part, therefore by possessing the sword spirit, it will then allow for the absorption of the other sword remnants, including the sword essence which focuses just on killing. Just now, the sword intent you encountered was full of murderous intent so that should have been the sword essence. Since you managed to absorb it, this means you must have obtained the sword soul much earlier on,” explained Huangfu Qingjue.
“All right, then how can I gather the other sword remnants?” Ling Chuxi asked. Since this was the case, the thing she obtained the last time she went to Silver Ancient Mountain Range in search of treasure should be the Cang Yuan Sword’s soul.
Recalling the sword move that contained the intent of heaven’s path when the sword spirit and sword essence fought in her mind just now, Ling Chuxi’s heart felt a little itchy to know more.
Ever since she began painstakingly peeling off the mystery behind her birth piece by piece in an effort to resolve it, Ling Chuxi’s desire to progress her cultivation abilities became stronger and stronger. If she could really gather and absorb all the remnants of the Cang Yuan Sword, as Huangfu Qingjue had said one could, and come to understand the essence of the sword’s meaning, then how strong would she be?
“Since the Cang Yuan Sword’s soul and essence have been reunited, the sword will awaken once again very soon. When that time comes, you will naturally get the answer you seek,” said Huangfu Qingjue after thinking about the matter. Once he finished speaking, he continued with a solemn reminder, “Chuxi, the Cang Yuan Sword is known as the Ancient Killing Sword for a good reason. Too much of Cang Yuan’s resentment and bitterness is contained within it. Let everything develop naturally, you absolutely can’t be forceful about this.”
“I know, don’t worry,” replied Ling Chuxi. She could see Huangfu Qingjue’s worry, and it warmed her heart. She had already personally experienced the fierce dangers caused by the sword essence and if it were not for the timely appearance of the sword spirit, and her managing to establish the Divine Sword Ancient Contract with herself, it was fearful that her consciousness would have disappeared, her soul would have been sent flying, and her spirit scattered. How could she dare be careless after that?
“Besides, I’m afraid that the appearance of the Cang Yuan Sword’s essence will also bring about swift responses from all the various great sects. You must not let anyone else know of this matter. Otherwise, it won’t only affect you, but it will also bring about disaster and death to them,” continued Huangfu Qingjue who was still worried and who could not help but remind Ling Chuxi once again.
Ling Chuxi nodded solemnly.
Deep in the mountain valley, a plain ancient sword with a long blade stuck out of the ground diagonally, emitting a faint chilling light. However, Ling Chuxi clearly felt that the sword no longer seemed to have the least bit of spirituality about it because the hidden sword essence that was within it had already been transmitted into the Luo Chen Sword, uniting both the Cang Yuan Sword’s spirit and soul once more.
