Lu Fuyue turned to look at an empty corner, "Aren't you two senior uncles going to come out?"
The atmosphere in the air suddenly became quiet.
After a long while, a surge of spiritual energy appeared, and two figures materialized out of thin air in the corner. The tall, thin old man in gray looked at Lu Fuyue curiously, "Little girl, how did you sense it?"
Another old man, one fat and one thin, dressed in gray, also turned his gaze to her.
Lu Fuyue glanced down at the small gray sword mark on her wrist, then looked up at the two of them. "I once heard my mother mention my two martial uncles."
The thin elder and the fat elder suddenly fell silent.
The mother the little girl was talking about had some connection with them, but unfortunately she died long ago.
If she hadn't perished, I guess... sigh...
However, this little girl is indeed worthy of being her daughter; her talent is even greater than hers was back then.
A hint of suspicion flashed in Lu Fuyue's eyes. Why did she feel that the relationship between these two people and her mother seemed unusual?
The thin elder quickly came to his senses and looked at Lu Fuyue, "Little girl, do you know what that small gray sword that just burrowed into your wrist is?"
Lu Fuyue silently shook her head. The moment she saw it, she sensed that this thing was going to be troublesome, so she didn't intend to touch it.
However, she felt a strange familiarity with it, which is why she let it follow behind her.
The portly elder recalled the stunningly beautiful woman from his memory and slowly said, "It is your mother's contracted spirit sword, Cang Hui."
A hint of shock flashed in Lu Fuyue's eyes. "What?"
"Is this my mother's natal spirit sword?"
"But in my memory, the Canghui Spirit Sword is not like this."
In her memory, the Canghui Sword Spirit was like the finest black jade, its blade cool to the touch. It was called Canghui because it contained two reincarnation powers.
The Azure Spirit Sword can sever the cycle of reincarnation with a single strike, or it can reshape it with another.
My mother once used it to venture into various secret realms, hoping to find rare treasures that would improve her health.
She had always believed that Canghui had vanished with her mother's death.
I never expected to see it again under such circumstances.
Lu Fuyue subconsciously rubbed the gray sword mark on her wrist, her heart filled with complicated emotions. No wonder she felt that this little sword was somewhat familiar. It turned out to be her mother's natal spirit sword, Canghui, which she often played with when she was a child.
The thin elder and the fat elder are the guardians of the Trial Tower. Their mission is to keep an eye on what's inside the ninth floor and prevent it from escaping.
But for some reason, a few days ago, the things in the ninth floor suddenly started to move wildly, causing many seals to crack.
The most powerful cultivator in the Heavenly Profound Sect is the Ancestor, but even he has no solution. He can only barely calculate that only someone with the Water Spirit Sacred Body can solve this problem.
The person who possesses this Water Spirit Holy Body is a disciple of their Heavenly Profound Sect.
However, the Water Spirit Saint Body is a rare and exceptional physique that appears only once every ten thousand years. Those who possess it not only cultivate at an extremely fast pace, but also have a much higher level of comprehension than others.
However, the Tianxuan Sect does not have such a person at all.
They had already given up hope, but suddenly they noticed the phoenix phenomenon outside the Trial Tower.
It turns out that this little girl is the Water Spirit Saint Body.
Lu Fuyue suddenly thought of something, her eyes reddening slightly. After a moment, she looked up at the two of them and opened her mouth, "Uncle-Master, my...my mother, is she not dead?"
The two were taken aback, then shook their heads. They quickly understood what Lu Fuyue was thinking.
But Feng Qing did indeed perish.
Lu Fuyue froze upon seeing this, and murmured, "But Canghui is my mother's soul contract sword. Why did it remain after my mother perished?"
The fat elder said, "Little Lu, Canghui was no longer your mother's natal artifact before she died."
"In order to suppress what is inside the ninth floor, your mother used a forbidden technique to unbind Cang Hui before she was about to perish, and put it into the Trial Tower to guard the last seal of the ninth floor."
Lu Fuyue was somewhat shocked. The ninth floor? Could it be the Golden String?
She immediately rejected the idea as soon as it came to mind.
The Weak Water Zither is an ancient divine artifact, and its strings are no exception; the Heavenly Profound Sect could not possibly suppress it.
The thin elder sighed, "Since you are the possessor of the Water Spirit Holy Body, there are some things you should know."
Lu Fuyue looked at him, slightly taken aback.
She had a premonition that what the two elders spoke of on the ninth floor was of great importance to her.
The thin elder asked, "Do you know the origins of our Heavenly Profound Sect?"
Lu Fuyue remained silent for a moment, then shook her head. Although she had grown up in the Tianxuan Sect since childhood, there were some things that she could not know.
For example, the origins of the Tianxuan Sect are still a subject of much debate in the cultivation world today.
Some say that the founding ancestor of the Tianxuan Sect was just a mortal. He attained enlightenment one day, shed his mortal body, became one of the top cultivators in the cultivation world at that time, and then personally founded the Tianxuan Sect before ascending to immortality.
Some say that the founder of the Tianxuan Sect was not even human.
...
The fat elder and the thin elder exchanged a glance, nodded, and decided to tell her everything.
"The founding patriarch of the Tianxuan Sect was indeed a mortal. He attained immortality because his beloved woman was a cultivator in the cultivation world. However, she died in front of him during her tribulation."
"In his heartbreak, the old ancestor actually managed to decipher the Dao and survive the nine-layered tribulation of lightning, just one step away from ascending to immortality. However, he still longed for his beloved, so he severed the ascension path with a sword, founded the Tianxuan Sect, and left behind this Trial Tower."
"Before he ascended to immortality, he said that the things inside the ninth level of the Trial Tower would undergo an anomaly tens of thousands of years from now, and when those things broke out of the tower, it would be the day the Tianxuan Sect would be destroyed. The only way to break this was to find a Tianxuan Sect disciple with the Water Spirit Saint Body and have her enter the ninth level of the Trial Tower."
...
Lu Fuyue was silent for a moment, then asked, "So what exactly is inside the ninth floor?"
The two sighed helplessly, "We don't know either."
Upon hearing this, Lu Fuyue looked at the two of them and said, "If I am not mistaken, you two should be the spirits of the Trial Tower."
Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes, and they both looked at Lu Fuyue, "How did you know?"
Their identities were unknown to anyone but themselves.
But how did this young girl who had just entered the Golden Core stage know all this?
