The Birth of Sword God-Chapter 319 - 284: Swordman and Swordman

"What!?"

The dead gambler was the first to cry out.

Even Jiang Zhi couldn’t help but scrutinize Chu Huaixu, using his Divine Sense to investigate immediately.

How could it be possible for anyone to possess two Sword Hearts?

Chu Huaixu immediately activated the power contained within his Heart Sword, along with his [Ten Thousand Swords Unite].

For a moment, a look of astonishment flashed across everyone’s face.

Two forces, completely different!

Previously, people had speculated, since his Realm of Sword Heart Clarity was based on the Spiritual Embryo Divine Techniques, could he possibly condense another Sword Heart on his own?

Everyone had an intense discussion about this.

Ultimately, Jiang Zhi, in a display of wisdom, vetoed the idea with one vote.

Within the Daoist Sect, he had the deepest Sword Dao Insights.

He confidently stated that discussing this was completely senseless.

"What is a Sword Heart?"

"The so-called Sword Heart is the condensation of one’s Sword Dao Insights after reaching a certain level."

"It represents all your insights into the Sword Dao."

"Even if your insights are diverse, even if they are somewhat contradictory, even if you walk two entirely different paths... ultimately, there will only be one Sword Heart."

"Because the Sword Heart is the sum of everything!"

"The current Sword Heart of Chu Huaixu was stimulated by the Spiritual Embryo Divine Techniques."

"He will undoubtedly have his own Sword Dao Insights in the future."

"And all this will only make his Sword Heart stronger, ultimately merging within."

This reasoning, once considered calmly by everyone, was agreed upon.

But who could have imagined, he actually condensed a second Sword Heart?

Li Chunsong was instantly frustrated and slapped his thigh.

"Slap—!"

Everyone’s gaze instantly converged on him.

Everyone immediately understood the implication.

He was regretting.

——What a great gambling opportunity!

Yet, it wasn’t organized for a bet!

As Jiang Zhi once holding the Wisdom Pearl, it seemed that the pearl had dropped to the ground.

Since Chu Huaixu came to the mountain, he had somewhat gotten used to the feeling.

However, he still gave his grand-disciple a deep look, feeling something was amiss.

But after considering, he didn’t say it in front of everyone.

Because the miraculous display of Chu Huaixu had shocked everyone thoroughly.

Following this, Xiang Yan and others inquired about the [Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Root].

Chu Huaixu pondered and replied: "The disciple was deeply touched when Dao Ancestor performed Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Root, gaining deep insights."

"I am confident that one day, I will surely comprehend it!" He began guaranteeing. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

What’s the harm in using Experience Points to test my luck? I truly disbelieve that it might fail!

"That’s excellent." Xiang Yan and others laughed heartily, applauding.

"When the time comes, let the people of the Sword Sect see what the real Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Root means!"

After chatting for a bit, everyone went about their respective tasks.

Jiang Zhi volunteered to take Chu Huaixu and Han Shuangjiang back to Junzi Temple.

No one objected to this.

Xiang Yan and others had sect affairs to handle, but Jiang Zhi didn’t; he didn’t have a specific job.

Returning to Junzi Temple, Jiang Zhi asked Han Shuangjiang to go first, then stopped Chu Huaixu.

"Master Ancestor, do you have further instructions?" Chu Huaixu asked.

"Do you know what a Sword Heart is?" Jiang Zhi said.

The young man in the black robe pondered slightly, then replied: "After Sword Intent Perfection, Sword Cultivators have higher-level insights into the Sword Dao."

"These insights can condense into a Sword Heart upon reaching a certain realm."

Jiang Zhi nodded slightly at the words.

He said: "Within the Daoist Ancestor Inheritance Secret Realm, you and Shuangjiang went through three thousand sword scrolls, cultivated with Dao Ancestor, had rapid advancement in Sword Dao Insights, both reached Sword Intent Perfection, I don’t find it surprising."

"But the problem is, the Sword Heart is the culmination of your Sword Dao Insights."

Chu Huaixu also sensed something was wrong upon hearing this.

Jiang Zhi’s following words left him in brief confusion.

"So, Chu Huaixu." He paused briefly.

"Logically, this journey to the Secret Realm should only strengthen your original Sword Heart in certain aspects."

"If the Sword Heart you condensed today is the culmination of your Sword Dao Insights."

"Then whose Sword Dao Insights belonged to the previous Sword Heart?"

"If both are yours, then they should merge into one!"

...

...

Beneath the ancient tree in Junzi Temple, the breeze gently passing by, Chu Huaixu stood there stunned.

He actually felt Jiang Zhi’s words made some sense.

But he couldn’t provide an answer either.

"The disciple doesn’t know." He said earnestly.

This highest Sword Dao Cultivator in the Daoist Sect looked up to the sky.

Finally, he simply said: "Even I can’t figure it out; it’s normal that you can’t."

"Overall, it seems to be a good thing rather than bad."

"Your abnormality is not limited to this one aspect."

"It’s just contrary to our Sword Cultivator’s Cultivation System."

"Maybe, when your Sword Dao Cultivation further improves, you might find the answer."

"You may go back." Jiang Zhi waved his hand.

"Yes, Master Ancestor." Chu Huaixu bowed: "The disciple takes his leave."

Walking back to his residence, Chu Huaixu quickly shoved the issue aside.

"Because I have a system!"

"These powers, initially acquired through the system."

"Only the Experience Points and various encounters were my own efforts."

"But strictly speaking, this trip to the Secret Realm, all Sword Dao Insights are gained bit by bit by my Comprehension 7 gifted self."

"Strictly speaking, the previous Sword Heart can simply be seen as the system’s Sword Dao Insights."

"The current one is my Chu Huaixu’s Sword Dao Insights!"

He quickly let it go and didn’t delve too deeply into the matter.

——You don’t understand if you don’t cheat!

But as he walked, this seemingly relaxed cheat-master suddenly stopped.

"I can remain unsurprised because I am aware of the system’s strength and peculiarity, knowing how far my cheat extends."

"But why, in the Secret Realm, when Dao Ancestor helped me condense a Sword Heart, he wasn’t surprised at all?"

"He seemed entirely accepting of one having two Sword Hearts."

This made Chu Huaixu increasingly feel that Dao Ancestor was deep and unfathomable.

Moreover, he couldn’t comprehend what Dao Ancestor was truly thinking.

As he walked, Chu Huaixu quickly returned to his residence.

Han Shuangjiang had already returned to meditate quietly, consolidating his Cultivation and the gains from the recent Secret Realm trip.

Xu Ziqing, knowing Senior Sister Han returned alone and that his Senior Brother was asked by Junior Martial Uncle Jiang for questioning, waited outside to greet his Senior Brother.

"Senior Brother!" Xiaoxu smiled, taking a few steps forward to greet.

Chu Huaixu looked at the delicate youth before him and couldn’t help but pause slightly.

He had never felt such a sensation when looking at Xiaoxu before.

Previously, when looking at the girl, he often thought: "With this gender-neutral appearance, if on Earth, not dressed as a girl to become a streamer, it’d be a waste."

But now, looking at Xu Ziqing, he felt an odd thought.

Chu Huaixu wanted to take Xiaoxu... and use him?

This abstract thought purely stemmed from the boy now giving him a sense of: "What a supreme sword!"

It couldn’t be helped, as he was Xu Ziqing’s guiding light in Cultivation.

Once he wrote the four words [Supreme Divine Skill] on the small booklet of "Refining Sword Formulas," the boy embarked on the path of refining himself with the world as a furnace.

What’s stranger was, even though Chu Huaixu did excellent Breath Concealing, not releasing any Sword Dao aura, the youth still felt his Senior Brother seemed different.

Xu Ziqing had always looked up to his Senior Brother with reverence, mixed with some awe.

"But today, for some unknown reason, an intense feeling of awe emerged in his heart."
