Borrowing a sword

Chapter 191 Only One in the World

Inside the main hall, everyone's expression was one of utter astonishment.

"soul?"

"Chu Huaixu actually encountered a primordial spirit while descending the mountain!"

Xiang Yan and Jiang Zhi were getting restless and immediately asked, "Has anything happened to him?"

“He’s alright and has returned safely to the sect. However, Liu Tianfeng, who was in charge of leading the team, and a disciple named Ge Long died inside the altar.” Li Chunsong’s face darkened again as he said this.

The others were also slightly taken aback, not expecting such a situation to occur.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhi immediately pressed, "So, Chu Huaixu didn't encounter a case of primordial spirit possession?"

"He chose to possess Liu Tianfeng, who had the highest cultivation level?"

Li Chunsong immediately replied, "Junior Uncle, that's not the case!"

"Chu Huaixu encountered it. To be precise, the primordial spirit initially aimed to possess his body, but he drove it away."

The atmosphere inside the hall instantly became more solemn.

"Is he alright?" Xiang Yan asked with concern.

"Mo Qingmei said that Chu Huaixu was not seriously injured, only slightly wounded," Li Chunsong replied.

Chu Yinyin immediately said, "I know, it must be the sword in his sea of ​​consciousness that protected him!"

"After all, when I tried to enter his sea of ​​consciousness, I was accidentally knocked back by that sword."

"Now that Chu Huaixu's cultivation has improved so much, the sword spirit within him should also have become stronger."

"So, they protected him."

Upon hearing this, Xiang Yan and the others all agreed that it made sense.

"The sword spirit that Chu Huaixu cultivated by chance is indeed extraordinary."

“With it around, it can indeed protect one’s mind and prevent possession,” Zhao Shuqi said.

However, Li Chunsong glanced at him and said directly, "Fifth Senior Brother, you're wrong!"

"If what Mo Qingmei said is true, then Chu Huaixu's situation is not just about being spared from possession."

"It seems he severed his primordial spirit!"

No sooner had the words been spoken than a "snap" was heard in the main hall.

Jiang Zhi couldn't help but slam her hand on the table, her eyes widening: "What did you say?"

"Chu Huaixu severed his primordial spirit?"

The Taoist junior uncle's breathing quickened, and he looked utterly incredulous.

To be precise, everyone present felt the same way.

Now everyone understood why Li Chunsong had summoned everyone in such a hurry.

Because everyone present had the ability to resist the invasion of the primordial spirit.

But no one can completely eliminate it!
To be precise, looking at the Xuanhuang Realm today, whether it's this junior uncle from the Daoist sect, the sword master from the Sword Sect, or the current protector of the Moon Kingdom, none of them can do this!
Why does Jiang Zhi value Xu Ziqing so much? Why does he value the sword left behind by the Dao Ancestor so much?
Besides the [Original Spiritual Realm], it is also due to the primordial spirit.

They couldn't completely destroy the primordial spirit, but this sword could.

The bronze sword contains the most evil energy of heaven and earth. It does not destroy the primordial spirit, but it can devour the primordial spirit by relying on its evil energy!

To be precise, the bronze sword was forged a thousand years ago to solve the problem of the primordial spirit!

Inside the main hall, Jiang Zhi immediately made a decision.

"Li Chunsong, go and bring Chu Huaixu over here," he instructed.

"Yes."

The six elders of the Taoist sect immediately flew to Medicine Mountain to pick up Chu Huaixu.

He's gotten used to doing this lately, like riding on the kid's back, always giving him a ride.

Inside the main hall, Jiang Zhi's expression kept changing, and he remained silent, seemingly lost in thought.

Li Chunsong was very efficient; he quickly brought Chu Huaixu over.

He didn't tell him the reason along the way.

In fact, ever since Jiang Zhi returned to his sect, Chu Huaixu has not liked coming to such occasions.

"It used to be quite good; it was the perfect place to show off in front of others."

"Showing off in front of ordinary disciples is nothing compared to showing off in front of the higher-ups in the Daoist sect, isn't it?" he thought to himself.

However, this junior grandmaster who returned to the sect seems to be a stress monster.

This fatherly old man puts pressure on him all day long, and it's obvious he doesn't like him, which makes Chu Huaixu quite annoyed with him.

However, he had a general idea in his mind that it was probably related to this trip to the altar.

Upon entering the main hall, all eyes turned to him.

Everyone spread their divine senses to check his physical condition.

Chu Huaixu was indeed seriously injured, but he had taken elixirs and, with the incredible self-healing ability of the Daoist Canon, he had almost fully recovered.

Seeing that he was indeed alright, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Sect Leader Xiang Yan said in his unpleasant voice, "Chu Huaixu, just now, Sixth Junior Brother said that you encountered many setbacks during your journey down the mountain to subdue demons."

"We are all very sorry for the deaths of Liu Tianfeng and Ge Long."

"But I hope you will tell me the whole story carefully now, without omitting any details."

“This is a very serious matter; its severity will exceed your expectations,” Xiang Yan said.

Upon hearing this, Chu Huaixu immediately asked, "Is it because of that divine soul?"

This is something he is eager to understand.

“Yes, you should emphasize this point.” Jiang Zhi answered before Xiang Yan could speak.

Chu Huaixu nodded and then recounted everything that had happened after he entered the altar. He didn't even hide the matter of the Realm Lord.

This was the result of his careful consideration.

The higher-ups in the Taoist sect wouldn't harm him, and he felt there was no need for him to hide anything.

Unfortunately, even Jiang Zhi and the others looked puzzled.

"Boundary Lord?"

They exchanged a glance, both somewhat puzzled.

After exchanging a few words, the group decided to put the matter aside for now and gestured for Chu Huaixu to continue.

This left him with a sense of regret and made him even more uncertain whether the Realm Lord was the Dao Ancestor.

Chu Huaixu continued his narration, and throughout the process, he tried very hard to restrain himself from praising himself too much.

Try to be as objective as possible, and avoid being pretentious!
"When I saw that the soul entered my body, I immediately used the Heart Sword in my sea of ​​consciousness and repelled it in just three strikes."

"But I didn't expect that this soul was really strong. After withstanding three of my sword strikes, it was only half destroyed!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhi and the others were speechless.

What does it mean to be truly not weak?
Do you know what the primordial spirit is?
The three swords severed the primordial spirit and destroyed most of it.

What a magnificent feat!

Judging from the tone of this kid, he still seems to have some regrets.
Seeing the strange expressions on everyone's faces, Chu Huaixu quickly added:
"This matter is indeed due to my low level of cultivation."

"If my cultivation were higher now, I would not have given him a chance to escape!"

“I should be able to save Ge Long and Steward Liu.” His tone turned serious.

Everyone: "."

You think your cultivation level is so low?

Among those present, the weakest are at the peak of the sixth realm, and the strongest are even great cultivators at the eighth realm!

But they can't do that.

“Go on,” Xiang Yan raised his hand. “What happened after your soul was severed from your body?”

Chu Huaixu then began to recount how this divine soul first controlled Ge Long, and then blocked him by exploding its body, causing him serious injury.

Immediately afterwards, this strange soul was struck by his sword again, yet it still had enough power to surge into Liu Tianfeng's body, vying for control of his body.

"However, his soul is probably extremely weak at this moment, which is why Deacon Liu is not completely under control."

"He first severed his own arm, then set fire to a talisman I didn't recognize."

Upon hearing this, everyone fell into a brief silence.

The eldest deacon of the outer sect chose the most heroic way to die.

Finally, Li Chunsong spoke first: "So, you mean that after Liu Tianfeng used the [Domain God Talisman], the sword spirit within you sensed that a wisp of your soul was still escaping outwards?"

“Yes.” Chu Huaixu nodded.

He looked at Li Chunsong and said, "The divine soul cannot be seen with the naked eye. Even if I use my divine sense, I will not be able to detect its location."

"Previously, it was purely because he was surrounded by malevolent energy that we determined his position."

"But my heart sword can find his location!"

There's no other way; this is what restraint is all about!
The sword severs the flesh, the heart severs the soul!
Jiang Zhi spoke up at that moment.

"Chu Huaixu, are you sure that this divine soul has been completely annihilated by you, without leaving even a trace?"

He asked this question simply because many people in the past thought they had completely extinguished their primordial spirit.

But in reality, that's not the case.

—The primordial spirit is something we cannot completely kill!

Chu Huaixu didn't understand the intricacies of the matter; he just felt a little uncomfortable hearing these words, as if I were bragging.

"This disciple is certain." He raised his head, looked at Jiang Zhi, and met his gaze with a firm tone.

"If you could do it again, could you do it too?" Jiang Zhi asked again.

“Of course,” Chu Huaixu replied instantly.

The junior grandmaster, dressed in a white robe, immediately stood up and took two steps forward.

"Very well, then prove it to me!"

He then took out a golden bowl from his storage token.

Inside this golden bowl was a liquid that looked like clear water.

In the water, a wisp of crimson air was drifting.

It seems different from the spirit on the altar; its attributes seem different as well.

But in essence, there is no difference.

Do you want me to prove it to you?

Chu Huaixu looked at this junior grandmaster and said loudly, "What's so difficult about that!"

In his eyes, this wisp of dark red energy was not much different from the last wisp of divine soul that tried to escape.

They've all been almost completely destroyed, and are now very weak.

Therefore, he simply activated the sword within his mind and made a very simple movement, which completely destroyed it.

He took a few steps forward and stood in front of Jiang Zhi.

Then, he simply lowered his head.
—He glanced at the golden bowl.

With just one glance, the crimson aura within the golden bowl vanished completely, leaving nothing behind.

One glance and the primordial spirit is annihilated.
