Borrowing a sword

Chapter 238 Changing Fate Against Heaven
Chu Huaixu sat on the futon, his thoughts wandering.

The Dao Ancestor once possessed at least 300 fragments of the Primordial Origin.
"Are you playing a jigsaw puzzle here? You could probably put something together with 300 pieces!" Chu Huaixu thought to himself, speechless.

This reminded him once again of what the primordial spirit had said about the "World Lord".

"Does 'realm lord' mean the ruler of a realm?" he wondered to himself.

After thinking for a while, Chu Huaixu stopped pondering.

Some answers you have to find yourself slowly.

We should seek the answers, not just think about them.

With this thought in mind, he decided to go to the library the next day to find out the secrets of the Xuan Yin Body.

The Dao Ancestor has too many secrets.

I'd better get to know my own partner first.

The next day, after breakfast, Chu Huaixu went to the library.

Besides consulting some classic texts, he also planned to exchange for the third volume of the Daoist Canon as soon as possible.

He wasn't sure when he would break through to the next level, so he prepared first.

The price of a third-realm Heaven-level cultivation technique is actually not cheap.

This also made him realize just how terrible the Daoist Canon could be if he couldn't truly master it.

"For those who cannot truly master the Daoist scriptures, their effects are actually only equivalent to the Earth level."

"But the Daoist sect, in order to respect the Dao Ancestor, has always classified it as a Heavenly level."

"Moreover, the exchange price is also a celestial level price."

"No wonder it's become a huge pit that no one dares to jump into."

After imprinting all the contents of the jade slip into his mind, Chu Huaixu asked the white-robed steward of the library, "Steward, on which floor are the books about the characteristics of the spiritual embryo kept?"

"These kinds of books are all on those shelves on the first floor. You can take a look at 'Lingtai Tongjian'," the other person replied.

"Okay, thank you, Steward."

Chu Huaixu quickly found the "Lingtai Tongjian" and then carefully read through it.

He wasn't just curious about the Profound Yin Spirit Embryo; he was curious about the vast majority of high-grade and even super-grade spirit embryos.

In addition, he also wanted to know if these ancient books recorded the Heart Sword Spirit Embryo!

After a quick glance, Chu Huaixu did not find the Heart Sword.

"But that's understandable. The world is full of wonders. The Xuanhuang Realm has all sorts of spiritual embryos, and the Heart Sword is probably a very niche one," Chu Huaixu thought to himself.

Then, he began to carefully examine the special features of the Xuan Yin Body.

As he looked at it, his gaze suddenly sharpened.

"Using yang to replenish yin, destroying a person's foundation?"

"This is even when combined with the dual cultivation method."

"Otherwise, the primordial yin power of the Xuan Yin body would be extremely difficult to withstand."

"And both of them need to have the cultivation level of a great cultivator."

Upon seeing this, Chu Huaixu immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"so far so good!"

So it turns out that as long as your cultivation level is high enough, all you need to do is engage in sexual intercourse.

"I've achieved physical immortality, what am I afraid of?!"

So what if you have a big butt?
What's more, he has such an exaggerated self-healing speed.

His self-healing ability is not only reflected in the healing of wounds.

Immediately afterwards, Chu Huaixu flipped through two more ancient books, but still found nothing related to the Heart Sword Spirit Embryo.

He had originally wanted to see if anyone else had managed to forge a Heart Sword within their own sea of ​​consciousness.

"However, the sect leader and the others also said it was the first time they had met him."

“These cultivation giants are all very knowledgeable, except for Chu Yinyin, who seems to be a bit uncultured.”

"They were all shocked by the Heart Sword back then, finding it incredibly magical. It must be extremely rare."

However, Chu Huaixu had always had a question in his mind.

The small black sword in his sea of ​​consciousness was formed because he had cultivated the "Sword Refining Technique" and, being a Heart Sword Spirit Embryo, by chance, he had refined himself into a sword and even created a sword spirit.

Even so, isn't the sword spirit's rank a bit too high?
The appearance of the sword spirit was both unexpected and reasonable, and there were clues to it.

Yet its status is comparable to that of a bronze sword.

It's just that Xin Jian's condition isn't very good; he's a bit weaker.

Meanwhile, thousands of miles away, in the capital of the Moon Kingdom.

Prince Rui's heir, Qin Xuanxiao, carrying a food box, arrived at the monastery.

The old imperial advisor, Ming Xuanji, was once the abbot of a monastery.

But now he has stepped down from the front lines, relinquishing his position as dean, which has been taken over by the female national advisor.

Qin Xuanxiao came to visit the old Grand Tutor after learning that he had been seriously injured a few days ago.

He had met this old national advisor many times.

His Highness the Crown Prince always felt that the other party had reached a terrifying state of being almost devoid of desires!
The only thing the old man now cherishes is his closed-door disciple, Lin Zixuan.

Therefore, the food box in his hand was purely for his future crown princess.

Qin Xuanxiao was led all the way to the back mountain of the monastery.

Halfway up the back mountain, there is an elegant little courtyard.

Ming Xuanji sat alone in front of the chessboard, "looking" at a game of chess that was incomplete. Lin Zixuan was making tea for her master, and every now and then she would put a roasted bean into her mouth.

She knew that she should not disturb her master when he was deep in thought.

But she has a sweet tooth.

Therefore, this petite girl would try her best not to make too much noise when chewing beans.

She watched as Qin Xuanxiao was led in, and simply gave him a brief smile.

Upon seeing him lift the food box, she immediately used her special secret technique to transmit her voice, sweetly calling out, "Brother Crown Prince."

Although Qin Xuanxiao was a prince, he did not dare to disturb the old national teacher, who seemed to be deep in thought, and instead stood quietly to the side.

He was secretly observing Ming Xuanji.

"Why has the old Imperial Advisor suddenly aged so much?"

"It's like I've aged almost ten years in an instant!" He felt a sudden tightness in his chest.

With Lin Zixuan's connection, the old imperial advisor was one of his biggest backers.

He wondered what could have caused the old national teacher, who was as powerful as the eighth-level Great Perfection, to suddenly be seriously injured and even have his lifespan shortened.
"Has he gone mad from practicing qi cultivation? Or has something gone wrong?"

"Could it be that Cheng Yuyan did something?"

In another location, the difference between the Eighth and Ninth Realms would seem like an insurmountable chasm. But in the capital, even Cheng Yuyan would be no match for the old Imperial Preceptor!
After about half an incense stick's time, Ming Xuanji suddenly greeted him casually, saying, "You've arrived."

"Yes, Xuanxiao greets the old Grand Preceptor." He bowed and said.

Ming Xuanji nodded slightly and said, "But His Majesty sent you to ask me why I was injured?"

The Crown Prince Rui replied frankly, "That's right."

Upon hearing this, the old man took a chess piece from the chess basket and slowly placed it on the chessboard.

Then, he turned around, his empty eyes facing Qin Xuanxiao.

Ming Xuanji did not give an answer immediately, but said, "Your Highness, Zixuan, if you see Chu Huaixu next time, you can ask him to plant the [Spirit Seed] in Zixuan's body again."

"Yes!" Qin Xuanxiao was the first to agree.

Although what he was thinking was, "Still planting?!"

He felt something was off.

How could something like this happen once, and then happen again?
I only planted them once.
Then, he tentatively asked, "Grand Preceptor, is there a problem with the spiritual seed that Chu Huaixu left behind?"

"I used magic to retrieve it," Ming Xuanji said without concealing anything.

Lin Zixuan nodded slightly to Qin Xuanxiao from the side.

She didn't know what method her master used, but he actually managed to make the spirit seed come out of her mouth.

She had always thought that once someone left a spiritual seed in her body, it was as if she had been branded by that person and could never be removed in this lifetime.

Unexpectedly, it could even be forced out of the body.

Qin Xuanxiao sighed inwardly.

"I never expected that the old Grand Preceptor would value Chu Huaixu so much, even wanting Zixuan to leave behind a spiritual seed again," he thought to himself.

But that makes sense, considering he did manage to defeat a Primal Spirit Realm expert once.

Moreover, no one knows how he did it, as he actually managed to capture a wisp of the primordial spirit's soul seed alive.

After returning to the Moon Kingdom, he reported the matter to His Majesty and others, and everyone was extremely shocked.

Is this something a cultivator at the first level of cultivation could do?
It’s incredible!
From a holistic perspective, Chu Huaixu's work was absolutely perfect and impeccable!

However, Ming Xuanji's next words left him stunned.

"Didn't His Majesty send you to ask me why I was injured? It's because I took Chu Huaixu's spirit seed and cast a [curse-killing spell] on him," he said calmly.

"What!?" Prince Rui's heart was filled with shock as he looked into the old man's empty eyes.

"Chu Chu Huai Xu is dead?" Qin Xuanxiao couldn't help but exclaim.

The strangest thing was that he actually seemed to have mixed feelings.

There was joy, relief, regret, and even some dissatisfaction with the move.

"I have been training so hard recently in order to defeat him in the Third Realm Competition."

As a result, he was cursed to death?
In this way, people will only lament that heaven is jealous of talent, causing such a brilliant person to die young.

The greater my future achievements, the more people will talk about Chu Huaixu, after all, I, Qin Xuanxiao, was once defeated by him!

He was still somewhat upset about this.

But in an instant, he cursed himself: "No! I actually did something stupid! The old Grand Tutor just said that next time we meet Chu Huaixu, we should make him plant the spirit seed again!"

So, he didn't die!

He was just suddenly hearing that the eighth realm cursed the second realm, and his first reaction was that the other party was definitely going to die!
He immediately said, "Grand Preceptor, I didn't react for a moment. I just don't know how Chu Huaixu is doing now?"

“He is unharmed and safe,” Ming Xuanji replied.

These words were like a thunderclap from a clear sky.

The second realm blocked the eighth realm's curse-killing technique that cost lifespan?
This is impossible!

It's already surprising that Chu Huaixu didn't die, how could he be completely unharmed?
Did someone intervene?

"Jiang Zhi?" The Crown Prince of Rui began to make all sorts of wild guesses.

But the old man's next words struck Qin Xuanxiao like a thunderbolt, leaving him even more incredulous.

"And I also suffered a backlash." Ming Xuanji chuckled self-deprecatingly.

"There's something wrong with his fate."

"Someone tampered with it, defying fate!"

The journey back today took almost seven hours, and I didn't sleep well, but I'll still stay up late to write. The second update will be a little later.
