Borrowing a sword

Chapter 109 Reincarnation Sword Intent
"Is Chu Huaixu inside?"

Chu Yinyin was so excited that she stood on tiptoe.

Her bright, lively eyes widened and shone.

This made her even happier than if she had entered the secret realm herself!
Because she had no intention of breaking through to the seventh realm.
Without reaching the seventh realm, one's cultivation cannot undergo a qualitative change, and it is impossible to generate one's own [domain].

Xiang Yan looked at his junior sister and revealed a smile that he thought was very kind but was actually quite villainous: "In fact, not only Chu Huaixu, but Han Shuangjiang is also in there."

Chu Yinyin waved her hand dismissively: "It's alright, it's alright. Sword dao inheritance can be shared."

How much you understand depends entirely on your own destiny!

Of course, she still favored her beloved disciple more.

In her view, Chu Huaixu, despite his young age, already possessed a clear understanding of swordsmanship, giving him a head start in life.

His swordsmanship talent is absolutely heaven-defying.

His understanding of swordsmanship is probably rare in this world!

"Although Han Shuangjiang has a Xuan Yin body, her physique is on par with the Dao Ancestor's Pure Yang body."

"But when it comes to swordsmanship alone, he is certainly no match for my disciple!" Chu Yinyin was already feeling smug.

In fact, even Xiang Yan and others thought the same way.

"Chu Huaixu is the sword prodigy mentioned in the Dao Ancestor's admonition."

"Although I don't know why, he failed to retrieve the sword last time he went up the mountain."

“But now it seems that he is indeed the most suitable person among the outer disciples to receive the abbot’s inheritance,” Zhao Shuqi said.

Everyone echoed his sentiments, and Lu Pan was even more relieved: "In this way, if he enters the Origin Spirit Realm, his chances of winning will be even greater!"

They knew very well how terrifying the existence Chu Huaixu would face once he entered the Origin Spirit Realm.

Even with his profound understanding of swordsmanship, he wouldn't dare say he was completely foolproof if he didn't have that sword from Mount Cangling.

However, the lineage of the second-generation abbot, Yan Shen, is different.

She was someone who overpowered the Sword Master of the Sword Sect back then, and she has been a top performer in the Ninth Realm for thousands of years.

If Chu Huaixu can truly gain some insight, he will naturally have more confidence!
"That's great news! That's great news!"

"May Heaven bless the Daoist sect, may Heaven bless Xuanhuang," Li Chunsong exclaimed.

Within the secret realm of the annual rings, Chu Huaixu was completely unaware that he was being placed on high hopes.

After the sword domain was created, the Partridge Sky sword in Han Shuangjiang's hand trembled slightly.

It's obvious that it sensed it too!

No matter how much the large ice block tried to soothe it, it had no effect.

Chu Huaixu couldn't stand it any longer. He reached out and stroked the blade of Partridge Sky, saying, "Calm down."

The trembling of the spirit sword stopped.

Han Shuangjiang, now in her old age, glanced at Chu Huaixu, who was "in his eighties," and then at her own natal sword. She couldn't help but bite her lower lip lightly.

She was indignant: "How come his words carry more weight than mine!"

The moment this thought crossed her mind, she sensed the emotions conveyed by the sword spirit; it was trying to appease her, signaling her not to be angry.

It was as if it had just made a mistake that all sword spirits would make.

Chu Huaixu looked at Han Shuangjiang with a calm expression, not feeling at all that he had overstepped his bounds.

Now is not the time to consider such trivial matters. What's with all this talk about your sword and my sword? Why be so formal?
"I think we must seize the time now to appreciate the heritage here," he said.

“The passage of time is still ongoing, we are still getting older, and I suspect that our remaining ‘lifespan’ is not much,” Chu Huaixu analyzed.

This instance is timed from beginning to end.

If time runs out, I'm afraid I'll fail to complete the game.

Moreover, the other party opened their sword domain without reservation, allowing them to study it.

Of course, we must race against time!
Han Shuangjiang nodded; she knew what was important.

"The time between me and Partridge Sky in blood recognition is still short. As time goes on and it receives nourishment from my spiritual power day and night, it will definitely not be like this anymore," she comforted herself.

The two stood in the very center of the frozen lake, slowly sat down, cross-legged facing each other, and began to close their eyes and meditate.

However, this force is of such a high level that even if they were to be completely impartial, they wouldn't be able to absorb much of it given their current level of cultivation.

Ordinary Taoist disciples would probably have their Taoist hearts shattered if they tried to comprehend this for even a short while! They would feel that they could never reach such a state in their lifetime.

Its nature is like Qian Xuesen writing a "Manuscript of Mechanics", which is completely a top-level skill of the human race on Earth, so why don't you practice it?

Why did you glance at it once and then immediately close it, revealing the expression of an elderly person looking at their phone on the subway?

Chu Huaixu suspected that this lineage was prepared for the true prodigies of the Daoist sect.

He didn't know how much Han Shuangjiang could understand.

All he knew was that his cheat system had reacted at that moment.

"[Ding! Detection confirmed that you have obtained the Abbot's inheritance—Reincarnation Sword Domain!]"

"【Do you want to view the acquisition conditions and acquisition methods?】"

Chu Huaixu's heart skipped a beat as he heard the system notification.

"The abbot's lineage?"

"Reincarnation Sword Domain?"

He knew very well what the title "Master of the Temple" represented.

This means that this person is the strongest among the true disciples of the Taoist sect of that generation!
He also paid attention to the Samsara Sword Domain because, in his memory, the sword intent that Han Shuangjiang comprehended was called the Samsara Sword Intent!
Before Chu Huaixu's transmigration, Han Shuangjiang did not yet have the cultivation of the seventh realm, nor had she developed a sword domain; she only possessed sword intent and sword heart.

This essentially confirms to him that the secret realm inheritance originally belonged to Han Shuangjiang, which is almost identical to his previous guess.

"However, if I remember correctly, she only comprehended sword intent when she had just broken through to the second realm."

"And it happened during a battle."

"This matter is very famous; it's being talked about throughout the entire Xuanhuang Realm. She has instantly become a world-renowned Daoist prodigy! Her future is limitless!"

"So, she didn't directly comprehend the Samsara Sword Intent within the secret realm?"

"She just had some insights."

"So, what about this time?" Chu Huaixu opened his eyes and looked at the large ice block sitting cross-legged in front of him.

He was 100% certain that Han Shuangjiang would reap even greater rewards this time.

He didn't know who Han Shuangjiang entered this instance with in "Borrowing the Sword".

It could be Xiao Xu, or it could be someone else.

But no matter who it was, Chu Huaixu was convinced in his heart: "Could anyone be as fierce as me?"

He led Han Shuang through the entire route at high speed, saving them a tremendous amount of time. The first level, the tornado formed by gathered green leaves, was instantly defeated with a flick of Chu Huaixu's finger.

The second level was cleared in a flash using the Heart Sword technique.

In the third level, taking advantage of their close relationship, he directly executed a "hug-and-kill" move.

His reputation as a top-tier companion was practically unshaken even in the Xuanhuang Realm!

This is the strength of the second-ranked player on the "Borrowing a Sword Must-Eat List"!

All the time saved can now be used to comprehend the [Reincarnation Sword Domain] surrounding him.

Chu Huaixu firmly believed that with Da Bingkuai's talent, she would surely be able to understand even more.

As for himself, he stared at the words on the system interface and fell into deep silence.

The system provides two modes.

The first method, naturally, is to comprehend the sword intent of reincarnation.

However, the compatibility between Chu Huaixu and Samsara Sword Intent was surprisingly low, at only 37%.

He needs to spend a full 27 experience points to acquire sword intent.

"Where am I supposed to get so many experience points?"

To his surprise, the system explained that his current progress in unlocking sword intent had reached 67%.

The two are in conflict!

In other words, due to various factors, Chu Huaixu has embarked on a path to unlocking sword intent.

"Is it because of Shen Man's Sword Domain Trial?" he wondered.

This was a hint the system had given beforehand; he only needed to complete the task and obtain a Grade A rating to unlock the sword intent.

"But this trial lasts for 30 days, and I've only just begun."

"Then there must be other factors as well."

Chu Huaixu even suspected that it was precisely because he had already embarked on the path of unlocking sword intent that Shen Man had a chance to unlock sword intent in the Sword Domain Trial!
"Is it because of the Sword Refining Manual?"

"Or is it because of something else?"

He couldn't get an answer right away.

The serendipitous encounters that players experience can have cumulative effects.

This is similar to how many practitioners may not experience a qualitative leap at this moment, but that doesn't mean they haven't gained anything; all they lack is an opportunity.

A turning point for enlightenment!
Chu Huaixu has always felt that there is a passage that makes a lot of sense:

"[There is no single word in this world,]"

It can be a revelation.

What truly enlightens you is...
It can only be an experience.

And that sentence,

It was just a match struck and lit inside the gunpowder depot.

There was no sign of struggle or distress on his face.

Even though it sounded like a powerful reincarnation sword intent, he quickly came to terms with it.

He's the kind of person who can take things on and let them go easily.

Moreover, he doesn't even have the means right now, so thinking about it will only cause him pain.

Chu Huaixu immediately turned his attention to the second reward mode.

"【You have relinquished the abbot's legacy, but through the passage of time and experiencing birth, aging, sickness, and death, you still possess profound insights. Upon completion of the instance, you will gain 1 point of Enlightenment.】"

With a full head of white hair, a smile appeared on his aged face.

"It wasn't a wasted trip!"

Special attribute points are extremely difficult to obtain. The reason he has so many attribute points now is purely because he is a transmigrator and has established deep bonds with the two protagonists of the world.

"In this way, once I survive [Shen Man's Sword Domain Trial], I will at least have a Comprehension level of 4!"

"I never expected that my comprehension would be the key to overtaking others, almost surpassing my physical abilities?" He was quite surprised and felt that he would be the most intelligent among the body-refining cultivators.

After closing the system interface, Chu Huaixu opened his eyes and looked at the woman in front of him, who also had white hair.

High in the sky, the snow kept falling.

Large snowflakes fell on the frozen lake, on the withered trees by the lake, and also on him and Han Shuangjiang.

Chu Huaixu was afraid of disturbing her, so he didn't reach out to brush the snow off her.

Time passed, and he just quietly watched her with her eyes closed.

As the wrinkles on her face increased, she looked older and older.

It felt as if I was accompanying her as she slowly grew old.

As time ticked by, Chu Huaixu could feel his physical condition deteriorating, as if his days were numbered.

"It seems this timed instance is coming to an end," he thought.

As for how much the large ice block had actually learned, he had no way of knowing for the time being.

"Am I about to 'die'?" Chu Huaixu thought to himself.

He could sense that his life force was almost gone.

His eyes grew increasingly somber, as if they might close at any moment.

Each time I close my eyes, it becomes increasingly difficult to open them again.

In the end, he didn't know if it was just his imagination.

In a hazy state, Chu Huaixu saw Han Shuangjiang sitting opposite him and opened his eyes.

With his last ounce of strength, he managed a weak smile at her.

A mysterious aura emanated from her body, and the layer of snow on the frozen lake instantly melted away!

The two sat cross-legged on the thick ice, and beneath the ice lay a symmetrical world!

It's as if the ice surface is a line, and the two worlds are symmetrical along this line.

The Chu Huai Xu and Han Shuang Jiang on the ice are very old.

The withered trees beside the frozen lake were lifeless.

But in the symmetrical world beneath the ice, the withered tree has already sprouted new buds.

The man and woman sitting cross-legged facing each other, their youthful beauty now faded!
