Chapter 49
Long Bao tilted his round head back and said foolishly, "Why don't we call the sword spirit out for a chat and ask him if he'd like to come with us?"
Fire Phoenix: "......" Is it because Xiao Mo is too easy to fool that she gave you some kind of illusion?
"Has this sword always been here?" Ye Zi asked.
Golden Snake shook his head: "No, I've been here before. This is an open space, and there's no such sword here."
"I haven't been here often since then, so I'm not sure exactly when this sword appeared. But when I discovered its existence, it was about two hundred years ago. I don't know exactly how long it's been here."
Luo Hengzhi looked up at the giant sword in front of her. She only saw that it was very big and did not have any other special feelings. The inexplicable palpitation she felt when she heard the Creation Sword was just an illusion!
Ye Zi frowned slightly: "Such a huge sword appeared, and it's even embedded deep in the ground, yet we didn't notice..."
Even Jin Lin, a snake with the most acute senses, said he didn't know when the sword appeared.
“It’s really strange that this sword appeared here so quietly, without making a sound, as if it had silently grown out of the ground.” After Jin Lin finished speaking, he pointed to the boulder next to the giant sword, on which were engraved the five large characters that Jin Lin had mentioned earlier: “Creative Sword of the Gods”.
Ye Zi and Luo Hengzhi had seen the boulder earlier, but it only had five ordinary characters on it. There wasn't even a trace of spiritual light on the characters. It was probably carved by brute force. Anyway, it was very strange!
It's just an ordinary stone; besides, it's too far away to see any useful information!
Longbao suggested, "Master, why don't we go closer and take a look? We're already here, so we should try to pull this sword out."
Jin Lin immediately stopped him: "We can't get any closer."
Jin Lin suddenly reached out, startling the fire phoenix on Ye Zi's shoulder, causing it to fall. Ye Zi raised her hand and caught the fallen fire phoenix, holding it back in her arms.
The fire phoenix looked up and asked, "Why can't we get closer?"
The golden snake took out a spiritual fruit and threw it forward. Instantly, the fruit was shattered into juice by an unseen force.
Fire Phoenix: "Holy crap..."
Longbao: "Freshly squeezed juice, so this sword spirit is actually a juicer!"
Ye Zi, who was originally studying what might be ahead, was suddenly amused by Long Bao's juicer and couldn't help but reach out and rub Long Bao's little head.
Looking at Long Bao's head being gently rubbed, Luo Hengzhi felt a little itchy on his own head and wanted his wife to rub it too!
But his wife didn't even glance at him, instead looking straight ahead at the giant sword!
He'd been so busy picking up spirit herbs that he hadn't even had time to pay attention to his wife!
Luo Heng felt wronged, but she remained silent!
Seeing that his wife wasn't paying attention to him, Luo Hengzhi calmed himself down and realized that he seemed to be a little obsessed. It was as if he had lived for twenty years and then gone back to his old ways, and he had become inexplicably sentimental!
"The first time I saw this sword, I was incredibly lucky. I don't know what I was thinking, but I just threw a stone to test it out. I saw the stone crack into pieces just like the spiritual fruit from before. I was so scared that I broke out in a cold sweat and felt incredibly lucky to be alive!" Jin She recalled, still feeling fortunate. "From then on, I never dared to get close to this sword. I only dared to look at it from a distance."
Ye Zi suddenly spoke up: "If I'm not mistaken, this is a kind of ancient formation. The outermost layer is a screening barrier. Anything or anyone that does not meet the conditions set by the formation will be directly eliminated by that barrier."
Upon hearing the word "annihilation," Jin She couldn't help but touch his arms and legs, thankfully still intact. He was lucky, and he was always quite cautious, otherwise he would have inexplicably been killed.
Luo Hengzhi had not seen any records of ancient formations in the library, so he looked at his wife and asked, "How can we know if it matches the requirements of this formation?"
"I only heard my master mention it once by chance. It seems there's no good way to do it. This formation is a killing formation. Whether it can pass the screening... it's all up to fate," Ye Zi said.
Long Bao: "Since it's an array, and Master has an extremely high talent for arrays, there must be a way. Masters, don't give up easily."
Fire Phoenix: "Yes, the stronger the formation, the more powerful the sword. Now that we've seen it, it would be such a pity not to take it with us. After all, it's such a big sword. With it, we can easily cut through the sky, the earth, and even the air!"
"Since this sword has a sword spirit, why don't we try to communicate with it through our divine sense?" Ye Zi suggested.
“It’s worth a try,” Luo Hengzhi agreed.
At this moment, the spirit sword appeared on its own, flew to Luo Hengzhi's side, and tapped Luo Hengzhi's hand.
Luo Hengzhi didn't understand what the spirit sword meant, and looked to Ye Zi for help.
Ye Zi: "The spirit sword says that all precious swords need to be bound to their master by blood. You might as well drip a drop of blood onto that screening barrier and see if the sword spirit will react."
Upon hearing this, Luo Hengzhi felt that it made sense!
Luo Hengzhi raised his hand and touched the golden phoenix on the spirit sword, praising, "The spirit sword is truly intelligent."
Lingjian was very happy to be praised and clearly enjoyed the gesture. She nuzzled Luo Hengzhi's palm affectionately, and then, without hesitation, lightly touched Luo Hengzhi's finger and made a cut.
Luo Hengzhi suddenly felt a sharp pain: "..." How thoughtful!
Ye Zi watched as blood flowed from Luo Hengzhi's fingertips, passing directly through the selection barrier and drifting towards the giant sword.
Longbao: "It floated past. This sword is indeed destined for my master."
The blood drifted to the hilt of the greatsword and seeped in. The greatsword absorbed the blood, and the once still sword began to tremble slightly, causing the ground to shake as well.
Luo Hengzhi reached out and wrapped his arm around Ye Zi's waist, protecting his wife in his arms.
A few breaths later, Ye Zilu heard a deep but clear dragon roar emanating from the giant sword, deep and awe-inspiring!
The roar of the dragon was so powerful it shook the body and mind!
Ye Zi created a barrier to protect the group until the dragon's roar completely subsided!
"The sword spirit of this sword... is actually an ancient dragon." Upon hearing the dragon's roar, Long Bao felt excited as his bloodline awakened; he was sensing the call of his bloodline.
Long Bao looked at Luo Hengzhi and said excitedly, "Master, that dragon looks like my great-great-great-great...ancestor."
Fire Phoenix patted Dragon Treasure's forehead and said, "If your ancestor roared, he would tear us to shreds!"
"And is that the point? The point is that your great-great-great-ancestor reacted to your master's blood."
Longbao: "Yes, that means that in the future I will have the same master as my great-great ...
As soon as Long Bao finished speaking, the blade of the giant sword vibrated violently, rose directly from the ground, and shot straight into the sky!
Then it slowly descended and stopped in mid-air. Then, cracks began to appear on the hilt of the giant sword, from which seven-colored spiritual light emanated, which was very beautiful and extended all the way to the tip of the sword.
Fire Phoenix: "Dragon Baby, your great-great-great... why is your ancestor cracked!"
"I don't know either!" Long Bao stared blankly at the astonishing crack.
Then, a small short sword flew out. The blade was nimble and exquisite, gleaming with dazzling seven-colored light. It was small and cool.
"That's it?" Fire Phoenix's little beast face froze, her expression one of utter astonishment. "That's it!"
Ye Zilu, Hengzhi, and Long Baojinlin were all stunned at the same time!
No one expected that when the towering giant sword took off its clothes in public, it would give birth to such a small thing!
The Creation Sword... it's such a small thing!
As if it heard the fire phoenix's disdain, the short sword deliberately turned and tapped the fire phoenix's head three times on its way to Luo Hengzhi before melting into Luo Hengzhi's brow.
"Ahhh, Longbao, you old... old ancestor hit me!" Fire Phoenix covered her head, almost crying.
"You deserve a beating!" Long Bao said. "I already told you that she is my great-great-great-great-ancestor. You can complain in your heart, but you can't say it out loud. I only hit you three times because Ye Zi is my master's Daoist partner. If it weren't for that, you might already be seeing your great-great-great-great-great-ancestor."
Ye Zi rubbed Huo Feng's sore head, then looked at Luo Hengzhi and asked, "What happened?"
"She's asleep," Luo Hengzhi replied. "She's injured!"
The Creation Sword entered Luo Heng's brow and immediately took up residence in Luo Heng's sea of consciousness!
At the same time, Luo Hengzhi received the information about the sword spirit of the Creation Sword. He frowned. The sword spirit was injured, with external and internal injuries all over its body. Several of its dragon scales had fallen off, and it looked very miserable. After entering the sea of consciousness, it fell into a deep sleep.
"Come on, let's go take a look at that rock." Luo Hengzhi took Ye Zi's hand and walked ahead of her.
After the Creation Sword returned to Luo Hengzhi's side, the formation here was simultaneously removed, and the screening barrier no longer existed, so they could pass through normally.
Jin Lin remained cautious, following behind Ye Zi and Luo Hengzhi. Only when everything was truly alright did he breathe a sigh of relief.
The deep pit left by the giant sword disappeared silently, just as silently as the sword had appeared. Only the giant stone engraved with "Creative Sword of the Gods" remained there, recording that a giant sword had once appeared here.
Ye Zi and Luo Hengzhi walked hand in hand to the boulder, looked up at it together. It was an ordinary stone with only five characters carved on it.
Luo Hengzhi still had many questions, but the Creation Sword was already asleep and there was no way to ask it, so she wanted to come and take a look at this stone, but the stone could not provide any information.
“This stone seems to have always been there, only it has words carved on it.” Jin Lin looked around to confirm. “Apart from that sword, everything here is the same as before, there shouldn’t be anything else.”
Since it turned out to be a stone that was already there, there really isn't any other information.
Ye Zilu and Hengzhi exchanged a glance. They knew they could only ask the Creation Sword once it awoke.
"Didn't our ancestor bring any rare and precious treasures with him when he came down?" Long Bao stared with wide eyes, really hoping to find some treasure, especially something that might be useful to him, a fellow dragon.
Fire Phoenix: "Your ancestor was injured, so he must have been fleeing for his life. What, did he bring you some local specialties while he was fleeing?"
"That seems to be true!" Long Bao forgot that his ancestor was injured. Even if he had treasures on him, he used them all to save his life. How could there be anything left?
"The only one who could make my ancestor willingly become a sword spirit must be a top-tier master. I never imagined that even a top-tier master could fall." Long Bao sighed. "However, my ancestor is now with his master, and he will have good days ahead."
The Creation Sword didn't want to open its eyes, and of course it couldn't. What good days were ahead? When its master started to settle accounts, we'd have to see how well it could kneel!
Luo Hengzhi glanced back at the "Fallen God Sword" on the boulder and said to Ye Zi, "Let's go, it's time for us to leave."
"Hmm." Ye Zi also turned around and glanced at the words on the boulder, especially the two words "Gods"!
Upon reaching the exit, it was time to part ways with Jinlin.
Huo Feng asked Jin Lin, "Are you really not coming out with us? There are so many delicious foods outside, all kinds of them."
Jin Lin shook his head: "I still want to stay and cultivate for now. I might go out in the future. Will we be able to meet again then?"
“Of course, if you go out, just go to Lingju Temple on Wuming Mountain. We’ll all be there,” Ye Zi said.
“Alright, I’ve got the nameless mountain Lingju Temple in mind.” After saying that, Jinlong took out a spatial ring and handed it to Ye Zi. “There are two spiritual veins here, which will be useful to Xiao Mo.”
There were actually two spiritual veins. The fact that the golden snake could produce two meant that there must be quite a few more spiritual veins in the secret realm. Ye Zi didn't stand on ceremony and thanked them, accepting them.
