Borrowing a sword

Chapter 299 Sword Heart: Ten Thousand Swords Return to One
Inside the monastery, Chu Huaixu sat cross-legged.

After he chose to upgrade, he once again entered a mysterious state.

This time, unlike within the Dao Ancestor's Secret Realm, the Dao Ancestor's supreme power helped him simulate an advanced version of the "Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin," allowing him to comprehend it.

Everything he perceives now is entirely due to himself.

Chu Huaixu immediately sensed a connection between himself and the neighboring [Partridge Sky].

The superior-grade spirit sword began to tremble and emit a sword-like sound.

Han Shuangjiang, who was meditating cross-legged, opened her eyes and glanced at her natal sword.

She's gotten somewhat used to it by now.
She didn't even need to think to know that it was because of Chu Huaixu again, and that he was the one who caused it.

【Partridge Sky】is still the same as before. When its master looks at it, the loud sword sound will turn into a suppressed sword sound.

This is to show that they are also powerless to control their own destiny, and to express that they still remain loyal to their master.

Han Shuangjiang sighed softly and listened carefully to her surroundings.

Sure enough, not long after, other spirit swords began to emit sword cries.

Clearly, the influence of Chu Huaixu was beginning to expand.

The Daoist disciples living here, especially those who are sword cultivators, immediately have their natal swords react.

These sword cultivators all looked at their natal swords with astonishment.

"How could such a thing happen at a monastery in the Moon Kingdom?"

Because of the strange celestial phenomena that had occurred, the sect's higher-ups only told everyone to remain calm and did not offer much explanation. As a result, these ordinary disciples were unaware that all of this was caused by Chu Huaixu.

Many sword cultivators ran out carrying their natal swords, and then gathered in groups of three or five outside.

Everyone started chattering and discussing it.

"How is this going?"

"Why do you come here every few days?"

Everyone chimed in with their opinions, and in the end, they all basically agreed that this strange phenomenon must have been caused by their junior grandmaster!
If they were in the Taoist sect, they might have another suspect: the Seventh Elder, who had been in seclusion in the Purple Bamboo Forest.

"Besides the four great sword masters, who else could provoke such a reaction from the sword spirit?" someone said with certainty.

“It is reasonable that Junior Grandmaster’s cultivation is extraordinary.”

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

What surprised these Daoist sword cultivators was: "Before, there was a chorus of ten thousand swords, so why is the area covered by this phenomenon so small?"

But as soon as he finished speaking, the scope began to expand again.

Chu Huaixu closed his eyes, and the sword drawn by his sword heart was no longer limited to his own people in the Daoist sect.

He started trying to turn from the outside.

The first place he set his sights on was Chunqiu Mountain.

Unfortunately, in "Borrowing the Sword," his main identity is a disciple of Chunqiu Mountain.

If you're going to play, you should definitely start with the big swords of your acquaintances.

Among them, there might even be Spring and Autumn Mountain NPCs that he had seen or even encountered in the game.

Inside the monastery, a large number of sword cultivators from Spring and Autumn Mountain rushed out of their rooms.

Some people couldn't resist knocking on the door of the accompanying deacon.

What sword cultivator wouldn't be anxious if their natal sword suddenly malfunctioned?

Unlike the Taoist disciples, they were not yet accustomed to this scene.

Following this, Chu Huaixu continued to expand the scope of his influence, extending his thieving reach to Luo Tian Valley, one of the four major sects.

"Buzz—!" Luo Tiangu's spirit sword suddenly trembled.

Immediately afterwards, all the spirit swords were drawn about a finger's width from their sheaths and began to emit excited sword cries, each one louder than the last.

They all want to leave their owners and seek refuge in someone else's arms.

Unfortunately, someone's cultivation level was too weak, making this pull not strong enough.

So much so that even though these spirit swords had sensed him, they were unable to fly towards him.

This unusual situation undoubtedly alarmed the higher-ups of Luotian Valley and Chunqiu Mountain.

Mei Chuxue is still the leader of the Chunqiu Mountain tour this time.

This woman, with her charming demeanor and voluptuous figure, always dressed in an incredibly alluring way, as usual.

She was wearing her signature red dress, with a slit at the hem that went all the way up to almost her upper thigh.

When she walks, the skirt flutters from side to side, and the slit reaches a certain point. Even though nothing is actually revealed, you still feel that there's something subtly there.

She quickly began to communicate telepathically with the leaders of the other two major sects.

Finally, Jiang Zhi replied calmly, "It's just a breakthrough by one of my disciples; there's no need to make a fuss."

Within the entire area, the first to sense Chu Huaixu's breakthrough in sword heart were Jiang Zhi and the Sword Master sitting on the eagle.

With the East-West Continent Grand Competition approaching, the old man was still cautious and directly cast a restriction to isolate Chu Huaixu's aura from the outside world, so as not to let outsiders notice and thus keep one more trick up his sleeve before the competition.

Therefore, even a powerful cultivator like Mei Chuxue couldn't immediately tell why this strange phenomenon occurred or where it came from.

Her alluring peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly.

Mei Chuxue asked again via telepathy, "Is it Chu Huaixu?"

This question seemed to sink without a trace; Jiang Zhi "read it but did not reply."

"Although the Daoist sect has produced many talented disciples this generation, Chu Huaixu is probably the most likely candidate," Mei Chuxue thought to herself.

"What breakthrough has he made that would cause such a strange reaction?"

"I heard before that within the Daoist sect's territory, ten thousand swords rang out in unison."

"Was it also caused by him?"

"But this time, the phenomenon doesn't seem to be as exaggerated as it used to be."

Above the eagle, a hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the middle-aged scholar, and then a smile appeared on his face.

After the ten eagles landed at the monastery, the sword cultivators received a warm "welcome".

Before the Sword Sect disciples even jumped off the eagle, their natal swords began to tremble violently.

The same applies to the superior-grade spirit sword in Geng Tianhe's hand.

"It seems excited."

"I've never felt so excited in my hands before!"

Geng Tianhe's gaze sharpened, and this thought came to mind.

Even the spirit sword in Situ Cheng's hand was no exception, only its reaction was not as great as that of other swords.

The middle-aged scholar raised his hand and said, "Junior brother, don't panic, it's Chu Huaixu who has broken through."

"It's just that Senior Jiang set up a restriction, so even you can't detect it with your divine sense."

Situ Cheng snorted coldly and said, "I can guess it's Chu Huaixu without you telling me."

But the next moment, the Sword Master smiled and said, "It's probably almost done."

As soon as he finished speaking, a semi-transparent ripple began to spread outwards from the house where Chu Huaixu lived.

Wherever it went, all the spirit swords returned to calm.

They no longer trembled, nor did they emit the sound of swords.

However, sword cultivators who are in sync with their natal sword can directly sense the state of the sword spirit.

It is reverence, it is submission!
It's not that the strange phenomena disappeared, but rather that they dared not take any further action.

The middle-aged Confucian scholar was a person who disliked superstition. When he was at Wuming Peak, he once lamented to Situ Cheng that it would have been so much better if Chu Huaixu had been born ten years earlier.

At this moment, a smile reappeared on his face, and he said, "Given the child's progress, perhaps he wouldn't have needed to be born ten years earlier. I should be able to wait."

Upon hearing this, Situ Cheng's face flashed with surprise.

From what I heard, my senior brother felt that Chu Huaixu, this junior, could catch up with him one day.
And it won't be long?
Situ Cheng thought to himself: "Won't there be another sword cultivator in the world who can barely defeat me?"
He asked, "In what aspect has Chu Huaixu made a breakthrough?"

“It should be the heart of the sword,” the middle-aged scholar replied.

Situ Cheng was not surprised that Chu Huaixu possessed a sword heart.

He had actually sensed something during the First Realm Eastern Continent Grand Competition.

He was simply puzzled: "How can there be such a sword heart in the world, capable of drawing another's sword?"

“This is indeed very strange, and I don’t know where this child’s potential lies,” the middle-aged scholar replied.

"What do you mean?"

"If the upper limit of his ability is very high, do you know what that means?"

"represents what?"

The middle-aged scholar's smile gradually faded, and he became more serious, slowly uttering a few words.

"The Lord of All Spiritual Swords Under Heaven".
