The Birth of Sword God-Chapter 36 - 35: The Terror of the World’s Protagonist
Regarding this sword, there are many legends in the Profound Yellow Realm, and the versions vary.
One version says that the sword embryo was forged by the Artifact Refining Grandmaster of the world a thousand years ago.
The materials used were all Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, extremely precious.
It is said that a mysterious Power of Origin between heaven and earth was infused into the sword body.
Usually, a cultivator possesses many Magical Treasures, but only a Lifebound Magical Treasure will develop some spiritual essence under the cultivator’s nurturing and strengthening.
Take a sword cultivator, for example, the lifebound magical treasure of a sword cultivator is surely their own sword.
Choose the sword embryo, drip blood to recognize the master, and with the pulling of the Divine Soul, transform it into the lifebound!
The sword cultivator will continuously nourish it, as the person becomes stronger, the sword also becomes stronger.
Gradually, a Sword Spirit will form, sharing a connection with the sword cultivator’s heart.
However, this sword is quite peculiar.
It was already born with spiritual essence when it was still a sword embryo.
Up to this point, listening to it seems like the beginning of a myth of a Divine Sword.
Yet, this sword is not a Divine Sword, but a thoroughly Evil Sword!
No one knows how that Realm’s foremost Artifact Refining Grandmaster, with profound cultivation, died under the sword.
All that is known is that the Evil Sword devours its master to strengthen itself.
The Cultivation Realm’s powerhouses came together to try and subdue this sword by force.
This incident even alarmed the Sword Dao Holy Land in the East Continent — the Sword Sect.
However, no one could destroy it, nor suppress it!
Anyone attempting to subdue it would be counter-bitten by its evil nature!
It wasn’t until the Dao Ancestor intervened and subdued it, collecting it back to its sheath.
Unofficial histories record that the Dao Ancestor came from an alchemist background, and his lifebound magical treasure was a medicine cauldron.
But he aspired to the Sword Dao and self-identified as a sword cultivator, even without a lifebound sword.
Whenever encountering an external enemy, if there was a sword cultivator present, he would borrow the sword to use.
As the Dao Ancestor grew stronger, his fame grew larger, even surpassing the Sword Venerable of the Sword Sect; sword cultivators across the world took pride in lending him their Spirit Sword!
Later on, the Dao Ancestor pioneered a unique Celestial Level Technique called Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Root!
This borrowing involves borrowing the swords of the world!
It is said when the Dao Ancestor first created this technique, it triggered thousands of swords within hundreds of miles to soar skyward!
Besides, he did not hoard this technique like some Sword Dao Sect.
The Dao Ancestor directly published this technique to the world for sword cultivators to study together!
However, only a handful of people could master it.
Since then, if anyone in the world could use the Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Root, most sword cultivators nearby would willingly lend a sword and see it as an elegance of sword cultivators!
Even today, a thousand years later, it remains so.
When it comes to self-proclaimed elegance, sword cultivators are always the best in the Cultivation Realm.
In other words, before acquiring that sword, the man of the era always claimed to be a sword cultivator, then... free riding on using others’ swords.
But no matter how one puts it, from then on, the Dao Ancestor finally had a sword of his own.
An... devouring Evil Sword!
...
...
"The legends about this sword, there are just too many versions on the forum." Chu Huaixu had seen over a dozen.
This was just the one with the highest popularity.
"There is another version where this sword had always been the Dao Ancestor’s lifebound sword, but he had been nurturing it, never unsheathing it, thus borrowing others’ swords for use daily, later creating the Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Root."
"It wasn’t until he achieved Great Success in his Divine Skill that the Divine Sword also achieved Great Success."
In short, both righteous and sinister versions exist.
Adhering to the principle of not believing or spreading rumors, he just looks casually.
"Anyway, it’s Xu Ziqing’s sword, what’s it to me?" Chu Huaixu would think this, just for amusement.
However, now that he has transmigrated, and it is the year 1990 in the Xuan Calendar, that sword is still unowned.
Moreover, Chu Huaixu knows where that sword is.
"It’s right on that mountain!"
Besides, he also knows very well how to qualify for getting up the mountain!
Chu Huaixu’s thoughts raced, withdrawing his gaze from Xu Ziqing.
"Now, I don’t know if the butterfly effect caused by me, this transmigrator unless the character lines of the two world protagonists have deviated from the original."
"Whether this is good or bad, I don’t know."
Seeing Xu Ziqing already sorted the gifts into categories, Chu Huaixu finally stepped into the room.
The delicate-looking boy squatting on the ground glanced at him, secretly envying Chu Huaixu’s height.
Sometimes he thought if he weren’t so short, perhaps his overall appearance would be better?
After a quick look over the practical household items, Chu Huaixu couldn’t help asking, "Looked through everything, no silver taels inside?"
"Uh, no." Xu Ziqing shook his head.
Hearing this, Chu Huaixu silently cursed in his heart.
Sorting this and that, don’t even know to send money!
Then he focused his gaze on the two jade bottles.
The jade bottles were labeled with the names of the Spirit Pills.
"Qi Gathering Pill." This is a good thing at the current stage.
Consuming a Qi Gathering Pill can accelerate the speed of Spiritual Qi entering the body.
During the Acupoint Opening Stage, this is more conducive to Breaking the Acupoint.
But that’s about it.
Without the Nine Acupoints Fully Open, one cannot open the Profound Yellow Secret Collection. After Spiritual Qi enters the body, it cannot be stored within, nor transformed into Spiritual Power.
"Once all nine acupoints are opened, acquire the First Realm cultivation technique, and then consume the Qi Gathering Pill, the transformation of Spiritual Power will speed up, a day’s hard work equivalent to several days."
"Specific effects vary from person to person."
"The better the talent, the more effective the pill impact, damn it!"
"For players, it equates to practicing after consuming pills, raising the cultivation technique experience increase."
Two jade bottles, ten pills each.
Chu Huaixu knew clearly that if Han Shuangjiang took this, this cold-faced girl would take off in her First Realm cultivation speed.
"However, cultivators should use pills scientifically and moderately." 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
"Spirit Pills are meant to assist in cultivation. Over-reliance can affect one’s ultimate potential."
As for how much is moderate, it actually varies from person to person as well.
"These regular Spirit Pills like Qi Gathering Pill, seemingly within ten are usually no problem," he thought to himself.
"Liu Tianfeng gave 20 pills for Han Shuangjiang and me together, which is fair."
Players wouldn’t worry about this as the system gives the verdict; excessive consumption will trigger a warning.
Certainly, with the peculiar kid-like player nature, someone would rebel during adolescence: ’I will take it!’
This would lead to the Character Level going up, but the Spiritual Embryo Attribute gets deducted...
After checking all the items inside the room, Chu Huaixu led Xu Ziqing outside.
Outside, Han Shuangjiang was still practicing the Palm Technique.
After this short practice, she had become more proficient in the Eight Desolates Roaming Dragon.
The cold-faced girl learned martial arts for the first time, and being caught up, she immersed herself in it, enjoying immensely.
With each release of her palm, waves of palm wind rose.
Watching from the sidelines, Chu Huaixu just found it a visual delight.
Now that he had transmigrated, there was no mobile to play, no videos to watch, and there were very few entertainment options.
Watching a beauty practice Palm Technique is also a decent pastime.
However, he noticed with his sidelong glance that Xu Ziqing was also watching intently, perhaps a bit too attentively, almost immersively.
"What, want to learn?" Chu Huaixu said offhandedly.
Xu Ziqing came to his senses as if awakened from a dream.
The boy had come to do servant work with the hope of entering the Daoist Sect.
With a thought, he had a bit of an idea, wanting to showcase himself.
So, he tentatively nodded.
Unexpectedly, the "new master" beside him immediately agreed.
"Okay." Chu Huaixu said nonchalantly.
The delicate boy heard this, looked at Han Shuangjiang again, and suddenly got into position, swinging a palm forward.
"Whoosh—!" The palm wind swept in.
He had already learned it.
