Tiezhu thought for a while after hearing this, repeating these words over and over again, trying to search for related memories as much as possible.
"Zhenyuan Sword Monument...Zhenyuan..."
"Zhen... That's right! Yuan, you're not referring to that damn place, right? The Zhenyuan Sword Monument, I think I know where it is!"
"Dad, this thing really exists, but it's been around for so long that I know very little about it. I've only heard some of it as a story, so it's hard to tell whether it's true or not."
Jiang Chen's eyes brightened: "It's okay, go ahead."
Tiezhu organized his words. "In the era of Dao's decline that I lived in, there was an old land, probably similar to... the Valley of the Gods we visited last time. It was located at the junction of the then Kyushu border and the barbarians of the western lands."
"That place is called Ghost Abyss."
"I went there once, but by our time, it was no longer dangerous. The crisis inside had been resolved, and some crucial things had been dug out."
"Its most terrifying period was during the Daochang era, and it's said to be in the early Daochang period. Its origins are related to an almost unknown era. Some people also say that something went wrong in a forbidden area, and some fish escaped, forming the Ghost Abyss."
"It's hard to tell its exact origins, but during the Daochang era, this place was notorious for its evil and death. Any extraordinary person who went there would almost certainly die. Even if some major sects intervened, it would be difficult to determine the fate of the place."
"Of course, there are some major interests involved. Otherwise, if the powerful people of that glorious era took action together, there should be nothing they couldn't do!"
When talking about the era before the decline of Taoism, Tiezhu couldn't help but reveal a look of fascination. When he first heard these rumors, he regarded them as myths and legends.
"Due to various factors, Guiyuan was in a difficult situation at the time. The surrounding people and small sects suffered the most. Some died, some fled. In the end, everyone in the area around Guiyuan became a deserted place, and this situation is still spreading little by little."
"At this time, someone discovered that as more territory was occupied, the things under the Ghost Abyss became even more terrifying."
"There were also various other problems during that era. Some major sects had no time to deal with them. By the time they discovered the problems, it was already too late. It is said that several peerless masters took action and suffered losses."
"The spread of the Demonic Abyss is unstoppable, and it poses a serious problem."
"At this time, a powerful man suddenly appeared, and was revered by the world's extraordinary people as the Sword Master."
"This sword master single-handedly slew the creatures that crawled up from the Ghost Abyss, one step at a time. He even sat alone by the Ghost Abyss for years, creating a sword monument."
"They vary in size. Some are shaped like mountains, called Prison Tripods, ten meters high, standing at the edge of the Ghost Abyss. Their thick sword intent traps all directions, suppressing all sword cultivators in the world and making them unable to raise their heads."
"Some are so tiny that they seem to be nothing. They are called "Catching the Moon." Because a gentle breeze covers the entire Ghost Abyss, it cannot be seen at the moment. But if a strange creature emerges from the Ghost Abyss, it will be like a full moon in the water caught by a monkey, and its body will be shattered in the blink of an eye."
"Some are small and exquisite, called the Immortal's Finger. When the Immortal points his finger, all living things bow their heads..."
“…”
Tiezhu claimed that he had attended a private school for several years. It was very likely that his private school teacher had a side job as a storyteller. At this moment, he talked incessantly and became more and more excited as he spoke.
When it comes to things he doesn't know, he actually starts to add his own embellishments, and he must keep the story complete.
"Dad, listen to me. You don't know that Sword Master. He has a face as handsome as a jade, is eight feet tall, and is incredibly handsome! In the eyes of sword practitioners all over the world, he is the recognized ancestor!"
"Although that sword stele was later broken due to something, even if the broken parts were passed down to later generations, it would still be an invaluable treasure that would cause any sword cultivator to fight to the death. Someone I knew back then was..."
“…”
Jiang Chen didn't listen any further, but nodded. At this point, he could basically confirm that this thing should not be disposable.
That's enough.
With such an amazing background, it shouldn't be a loss to force yourself on him.
Moreover, he was not in a hurry to force himself to the point of complete transformation. He would do it twice first and see the effect.
