Chapter 19: The Mystery of the Darksteel
"Wouldn't it?" Yang Tian said in surprise.
Although he had long realized that the treasures in the mysterious box had a relationship with him, he didn't expect this origin to be so big! The treasures in this box actually followed him for two lifetimes, and it was also the Xuantie Sword that caused the current mystery!
But...... Isn't the Xuantie Sword supposed to be in Tianyuanxing? Could it be that this Xuantie Sword also has its own "past life" like Yang Tian's women and brothers? But this sounds a little too unbelievable, a lifeless sword, how can it come from the past life and the next life? Among the six realms of reincarnation, I have never heard of a "weapon dao"!
However, Anna's next words made Yang Tian realize that things were not as weird as he imagined.
"My Xuantie Sect has a total of ten Xuantie swords, which are in line with the number of the Three Souls and Seven Spirits, and have a unique spiritual surname and power that almost all magic weapons can't match. Among them, the three Xuantie Swords of Heavenly Soul, Earth Soul, and Destiny Soul are the foundation of these ten Xuantie Swords, and they are also the treasures of my Xuantie Sect. Anna spoke very slowly, carefully speaking. Obviously, this statement is too complicated for Anna at the moment.
"According to what the predecessors of the sect said, when the Heavenly Tribulation came and the aura of heaven and earth dried up, the ancestors of my Xuantie Sect stepped through the void and escaped into the immortal realm, and also took away all the ten Xuantie swords of the Zhen Sect. But in the process, an accident occurred, and the Soul Sword of the Three Soul Swords was stolen by an elder of a certain sect, and he fled to the void without a trace. β
"This accident happened very strangely. Originally, the ten soul Xuantie swords were integrated and self-contained, and it was almost impossible to be stolen, unless the cultivation of the person who stole the sword could overpower the entire Xuantie Sect, because the people of the Xuantie Sect could easily hunt down and kill the person who stole the sword through the special connection between the Xuantie swords, even if he fled to the ends of the earth, the end of the universe, it would be difficult to escape the pursuit. And although the elder of the Xuantie Sect who stole the sword was powerful, he was not the person with the highest cultivation in the Xuantie Sect, let alone against the entire Xuantie Sect. β
"However, somehow, since the Soul Sword was stolen, the connection between it and the other Dark Iron Swords has been severed. And the ancestors finally discovered that the remaining Xuantie Sword had also undergone some very peculiar changes. Perhaps the elder of the Xuantie Sect who stole the sword was aware of this, so he would brazenly steal the sword. But the exact motive for stealing the sword remains a mystery. β
"This accident caused the ancestors of the Xuantie Sect to temporarily cancel the action of stepping through the void and moving the Xuantie Sect to the Immortal Realm, and instead studied this anomaly of the Xuantie Sword. In the end, they came to a conclusion that sounded incredible......"
"The ancestors of my Xuantie Sect guessed that these ten soul Xuantie swords were secretly in line with the humanity of heaven and earth, and it has been a long time, and it is unknown that they may have already become souls of their own. And this accident may just show that among the lives of these ten soul Xuantie swords, there are still catastrophes to come. β
"Yes, the ancestors left some of the disciples of our sect in the human realm, and left behind all the seven spirit swords that are closely related to the Soul Sword. And I am the descendant of the cultivators who were stranded in the human world by the sect. β
"The descendants of the Xuantie Sect who are stranded in the human realm are tasked with guarding the seven spirit swords, and waiting for the day when the life soul sword and the seven spirit swords will echo each other. My Xuantie Sect exists as a true cultivation sect, and the last sect leader of this period, Tianchong Daozun, once left a prophecy that there will be a day when the master of the Soul Sword will appear in the human world again, and when the time comes, it will be the ninety-nine ninety-nine of the Ten Soul Xuantie Swords, and the complete completion of the day. It is also the time for those of us who have stayed in the human world to be liberated, and it is also a great opportunity for my Xuantie Sect. Speaking of this, Anna looked at Yang Tian, her eyes flashing with joy, "The Seven Soul Sword was born in response to the Destiny Soul Sword, and the person who holds the Destiny Soul Sword is naturally the owner of the Seven Spirits Sword." β
Anna's somewhat hot eyes made Yang Tian smile helplessly: "Anna, don't look at my brother like this, my brother doesn't have a soul sword in his hand...... At least not for the time being. β
From Anna's narrative, Yang Tian guessed that the Xuantie Sword he had in Tianyuan Star was most likely the Soul Sword in Anna's mouth. From the memory of the Lord of the Nine Hidden Valleys, Yang Tian knew that the Xuantie Sword was inadvertently obtained by the Nine Hidden Valley Lords from a dead cultivator. Now it seems that the dead cultivator is very likely to be the elder of the Xuantie Sect who stole the Soul Sword back then.
When Yang Tian was in his second life, he already held that life soul sword, and maybe even when he was in his first life, this life soul sword already existed around Yang Tian. It is also very likely that all this is the autonomous consciousness of the Soul Sword's desire for perfection, so that every reincarnation of Yang Tian will eventually move towards the path of the Soul Sword's consummation.
It's just that Yang Tian in the first life was just an ordinary person, and although Yang Tian in the second life was much stronger, he still couldn't step into the threshold of the cultivation realm, and he couldn't meet the requirements of the Soul Sword at all.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the Life Soul Sword in Yang Tian's hand will change again and again, making Yang Tian's fate change again and again.
It wasn't until Yang Tian's third life, who comprehended the powerful power, that he was not reincarnated again because of the mutation of the Soul Sword, but only entered the current mysterious situation. And this mysterious situation obviously has a lot to do with the so-called consummation of this Xuantie Sword.
"You, don't have a life soul sword?" this is strange......" Anna thought hard, but at this time, her wisdom that already had obstacles obviously couldn't think about such a complicated problem, and after a while, she could only give up thinking, and said helplessly, "No matter what, after all, you have made the Seven Spirits Sword have a sense, and this kind of induction will never be fake." You will definitely be of help to our Xuantie Sect Human Realm disciples to complete their tasks. β
"You mean, the Xuantie Sword in this box is the Seven Spirits Sword?" Yang Tian pointed to the mysterious box and asked.
"Yes, this Xuantie Sword in this box is the Linghui Sword of the Seven Spirits Sword. Speaking of this, a hint of gloom suddenly flashed on Anna's face, "Because of the depletion of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, my disciple of the Xuantie Sect Human Realm is not having a good time. Most of the cultivation methods can't be cultivated, and they can only practice some small techniques such as exorcism and physical training, and even if they cultivate this kind of small technique, it is not costless. Walking against the sky and forcibly driving the aura in the body will damage people's souls, and the stronger the cultivation, the more severe this damage will be. β
"Coupled with the fact that the power of modern science and technology is so strong, the Xuantie Sect of my human realm is indeed struggling day by day. In the past, there was the suppression of the Seven Spirits Sword, and the soul damage caused by the cultivation of small techniques to the disciples of the Xuantie Sect in the Human Realm was relatively limited. But later, as the Xuantie Sect of the Human Realm gradually withered, it was gradually no longer able to resist the forcible seizure of the evil demons who coveted the magic weapon of my sect. In the past hundred years, a total of three of the Seven Spirit Swords of the Xuantie Sect in our human realm have been seized by the outside world. They are the Tianchong Sword, the Linghui Sword, and the Central Sword. β
"Tian Chong, the loss of the Linghui Sword has made the disciples of the Xuantie Sect in the Human Realm who dare to practice spells, and their Tianchong and Linghui spirits will definitely be greatly damaged, turning into a gangster and an emotionless weirdo. The loss of the central sword has caused the seven spirits of my disciples to be damaged, and they are inherently inferior to others. In this way, the strength of the Xuantie Sect in our human realm will definitely wither even more, and it will be even more incapable of guarding the Seven Spirits Sword, which will make this withering ...... aggravated."
Sighing, Anna continued: "It wasn't until more than ten years ago, after a stunning and brilliant figure appeared in the Xuantie Sect of my human realm, that this cycle of evil surnames was finally curbed. β
A hint of brilliance flashed in Anna's eyes: "This person is my senior sister, who is extremely wise, good at planning, and knows strategy. Moreover, for the sake of the future of the Xuantie Sect of the Human Realm, she willingly gave up the pursuit of cultivation and concentrated on planning for the Xuantie Sect of the Human Realm, and finally stabilized the Xuantie Sect of the Human Realm. It has also made it so that in the past ten years, no Xuantie Sword has been lost in our sect. I was able to retrieve the Linghui Sword this time, thanks to Senior Sister Xuanyuan......"
"Senior Sister Xuanyuan?" Yang Tianmeng was shocked, "Xuanyuan Qingwu?"
"Exactly......" Anna looked at Yang Tian suspiciously, "How can you know the name of my senior sister Xuanyuan......?"
"Of course I know, how could I not know?" Yang Tian was excited.
Except for the short first life, Xuanyuan Qingwu has always been the most important woman in Yang Tian's heart. And after learning that there is a past life of his own women in the plane of the modern earth, finding Xuanyuan Qingwu in this life has naturally become Yang Tian's wish that must be fulfilled.
Although Yang Tian didn't know how to solve the problem of his identity as a "passerby" in this plane, as he got close to his women's past lives, he found that his mind would become full, and Yang Tian already realized that his women's past lives were also one of the keys to uncovering the mystery in front of him.
In this way, finding Xuanyuan Qingwu has become an important part of Yang Tian's mental consummation process.
It's just that this person has a vast sea, how easy is it to find someone to talk to?But unexpectedly, it came from time to time, and on a whim, he disguised Fujimoto's visit to the Demon Altar, which made Yang Tian unexpectedly get the news of Xuanyuan Qingwu.
"Anna, where is your Senior Sister Xuanyuan now? at the headquarters of your Human Realm Xuantie Sect, or what kind of rudder or something?" Thinking of this, Yang Tian asked Anna expectantly.
"No......" Anna shook her head, "Just as I was on my way to the Demon Realm, Senior Sister Xuanyuan had already rushed to the Demon Realm with Senior Sister Qingbing and the elite disciples of the sect. β
"Senior Sister Qingbing, Long Qingbing?" Yang Tian was shocked again, and he was pleasantly surprised.
"Right...... Who the hell are you?" Anna's face turned suspicious again, "how do you ...... Know everything?"
"Don't doubt Anna, I, Yang Tian, am the person you are destined to be. At this time, Yang Tian was a little excited and couldn't help himself, and he was even more proud in his heart, "It's really nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it." Haha, brother's women, no matter which life it is, you can't escape from my brother's Five Finger Mountain after all......"
"By the way, where did Qing Wu and Xiao Qingbing go?Demon Realm?What Demon Realm does this plane have?"
"Qingwu, Xiao Qingbing......" Anna blinked, obviously a little uncomfortable with these two titles. After a while, she reacted and replied, "The so-called Demon Realm is the descendants of demon cultivators who remain in the Human Realm. As for why they are stranded in the human world, we do not know. However, the most critical central sword in the Seven Spirits Sword was taken away by the people of the Demon Realm, and the people of the Demon Realm seem to have always coveted the Xuantie Sword of our sect. And Senior Sister Xuanyuan and them naturally went to pursue the Central Sword. β
"Hmm...... So where is this demon realm?"
"I don't know. Anna shook her head, "Demon cultivators and immortal cultivators have not had much communication since ancient times, and they don't interact with each other, and even if they do, it's mostly because of fighting. After the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was exhausted, only a few remnants of the two realms were left in the human world, and even fewer knew about each other. We only know that these demon cultivators arrived at the territory of our Human Realm Xuantie Sect through a teleportation array in the ancient world. This Ancient Teleportation Array had actually been damaged for a long time, and it would only suddenly return to normal for a moment only once in a while. It's hard to say how long it will take, sometimes it can take a few short days to recover, but sometimes, it may not recover once for years. β
"That means how long Qing Wu and Xiao Qingbing will go and when they will come back, it's not certain?" Yang Tian frowned, "Haven't you tried to repair that teleportation array?"
"It's impossible. Not to mention that there is no true cultivator in the human world now, it is impossible for anyone to have this ability. Even in ancient times, such a teleportation circle that communicated the two worlds had to rely on special heavenly and earthly treasures and find a special spiritual vein place to create it. Once damaged, it cannot be repaired, only to find another place of spiritual veins and create a new portal. But the premise is that you must first determine the location of the Demon Realm and leave a coordinate mark between the two realms. β
"That's ......" Yang Tian touched his chin, and his face sank.
Although the Lord of the Nine Hidden Valley is a celestial scholar, he is not omnipotent after all, and there are still areas that he is relatively not good at. And this circle research is his relatively weak link. What's more, this magic circle doesn't sound like it can be repaired by just understanding the magic circle, which means that Yang Tian may not be able to rush over to find Xuanyuan Qingwu and Long Qingbing in a short period of time.
"You don't have to worry......" Noticing that Yang Tian's mood seemed to be a little low, Anna immediately said, "As long as Senior Sister Xuanyuan and they recapture the fundamental central sword of the Seven Spirits Sword, they will be able to restore the unique connection between the Seven Spirits Sword, and when the time comes, we will be able to find the true direction of the Demon Realm with this connection." Senior Sister Xuanyuan is extremely smart, she has no last resort, and the people she brought are all elite disciples in the sect, I believe that this sword snatching operation will definitely be very smooth!"
"Hmm...... It seems that for the time being, it can only be like this. Yang Tian sighed, "By the way, you just said that your Xuantie Sect lost a total of three spirit swords, Xiao Yueben took one, the people from the Demon Realm took one, and where did you lose the other one?"
"I don't know......," Anna shook her head again, "We don't have any specific clues about the whereabouts of the Tianchong Sword. However, not long ago, the Tianchong Sword seemed to have faintly emitted a hint of induction. According to that induction, we judged that the Tianchong Sword might be in and around Chongqing City today, and my second mission this time was to go to Chongqing City to search for the whereabouts of the Tianchong Sword. β
