Chapter 1927: Chapter 1927: I Am You?
At this moment.
In the vast world, three sword intents are abundant. The Eastern sky is filled with the sword intent of green light, while the sword intent of the Human Emperor and another swift and fierce sword intent simultaneously spread across the Western sky.
At the center of these three sword intents, the Green Cloud Sword Master, Xuanyuan Tianzhao, and Du Gubai stand with their swords.
If Ye Qiubai, Xuanyuan Tianzhe (the clan leader of Xuanyuan Clan is Xuanyuan Tianzhe, not Xuanyuan Wuji, as Xuanyuan Wuji is the grand elder), and Xuanyuan Che are ignored, then only these three remain in this world.
Or rather, Ye Qiubai and the other two seem insignificant under the overwhelming aura of the Green Cloud Sword Master and the others.
Xuanyuan Tianzhao holds the Xuanyuan Sword, and even the Emperor’s Sword is heavily suppressed by the incidental sword intent released by the Green Cloud Sword Master at this moment.
But this is precisely what confuses Xuanyuan Tianzhao and Du Gubai.
If it’s merely a remnant soul struggling for millions of years, how can the sword intent of the Green Cloud Sword Master still suppress both of them under such circumstances?
The gap is vast but shouldn’t be so overwhelming!
There can only be one possibility.
Xuanyuan Tianzhao, with a solemn expression, looks at the Green Cloud Sword Master floating in the sky. His body appears unreal, yet more solid than other souls, and he speaks in a deep voice: "You... aren’t a remnant soul. Have you preserved a complete soul?"
Du Gubai and Xuanyuan Tianzhao are figures from the same era, with similar levels of insight and knowledge. He also guesses this.
But how is this possible?
No matter how powerful a soul, without the nourishment of a physical body, it will gradually weaken with the passage of time.
Many strong practitioners choose to freeze their souls to preserve their legacy, but this only delays the inevitable.
Natural treasures?
Xuanyuan Tianzhao and Du Gubai dismiss this possibility.
Unless the entire Chaos Divine Dynasty mobilizes its power, it might be accomplishable... At that time, the Chaos Divine Dynasty had already expended everything to fight against the Immortal Realm. How could they have diverted so much to extend the Green Cloud Sword Master’s complete soul?
If none of these are the case, then it must be the legendary realm where the soul becomes immortal...
Yet upon reaching this realm, the Chaos Divine Dynasty wouldn’t have been destroyed by the Immortal Realm. The Green Cloud Sword Master alone could have effortlessly suppressed the Immortal Realm.
The Green Cloud Sword Master merely smiles without answering Xuanyuan Tianzhao’s question, instead waving his hand, saying: "Time is short, we’ll talk about the past later. You should leave now."
Xuanyuan Tianzhao and Du Gubai both show somber expressions.
They came here for the legacy, and now at its doorstep, are they to be dismissed with mere words?
Watching Xuanyuan Tianzhao and Du Gubai tighten their grip on their swords, the Green Cloud Sword Master perceives their intent and smiles lightly, "I think you shouldn’t have any other thoughts. You weren’t my opponents before, and you won’t be now."
Finishing his words.
The Green Cloud Sword Master simply taps his finger lightly.
Behind him, two green sword intents instantly whip past the faces of Xuanyuan Tianzhao and Du Gubai, like beams of light!
The two didn’t even have time to react; only when a line of blood appeared on their faces did the warm liquid sliding down awaken them!
They stare intensely at the Green Cloud Sword Master, their pupils trembling as if experiencing a deep shock.
With only a remaining soul, he can still effortlessly suppress them?
Xuanyuan Tianzhao and Du Gubai suddenly feel dejected.
Du Gubai shouted, "Since you’ve already chosen the inheritor, why set so many challenges? Never thought you had such a nasty sense of humor!"
The Green Cloud Sword Master shrugged and replied, "It’s been too long, I don’t remember, perhaps I just found it entertaining."
Upon hearing these words, Ye Qiubai doesn’t believe it.
According to his previous speculation.
The Green Cloud Sword Master’s legacy permeates Ye Qiubai’s entire journey.
If called destiny, coincidence, that would be too much, bordering on self-deception.
Xuanyuan Tianzhao looks deeply at the Green Cloud Sword Master, naturally not believing this nonsense, saying: "Though I don’t know what plan or chess game you’re playing... if you were to die and be extinguished like this, it would lack some flavor when competing in swordsmanship and drinking wine outside."
The Green Cloud Sword Master’s eyes flicker, he smiles, "Alright."
Du Gubai also says no more, turns gracefully, and exits this realm.
Seeing Xuanyuan Tianzhao preparing to leave, Xuanyuan Tianzhe hastened to ask, "Ancestor, is the legacy just to be abandoned like this?"
Xuanyuan Tianzhao answered, "Sometimes giving up is a form of wisdom. Don’t force what you can’t grasp, not to mention..."
Not to mention what?
Both Xuanyuan Tianzhe and Xuanyuan Che awaited Xuanyuan Tianzhao’s continuation.
Xuanyuan Tianzhao, however, shook his head and said nothing more.
Once finished, he led Xuanyuan Tianzhe and Xuanyuan Che away.
With the departure of several people, the entire world is left with only Ye Qiubai and the Green Cloud Sword Master.
The Green Cloud Sword Master turns around, his gaze falling on Ye Qiubai, smiling gently, "You are good. Seems you’ve garnered quite a bit of legacy beyond my foundation, even some which I cannot see through... Such as that sword."
Naturally referring to the Green Cloud Sword.
Ye Qiubai remains vigilant, keeping his hand close to the jade pendant, ready to crush it at any moment.
After all, there are too many mysteries.
"Was I chosen long ago?" Ye Qiubai asks, voicing his confusion.
The Green Cloud Sword Master shakes his head, "Chosen? The term isn’t quite suitable. You ought to be said to be a part of me."
Not intending to conceal, perhaps for the Green Cloud Sword Master, keeping secrets may no longer hold any significance.
Upon hearing this, Ye Qiubai’s pupils shrink sharply.
"I... am you?"
"Correct." The Green Cloud Sword Master slowly descends to stand in front of Ye Qiubai, upon closer inspection.
Their features indeed share much resemblance!
Only the differences in aura shaped by time separated them.
The Green Cloud Sword Master recounts, "I was just a step away from achieving that realm, yet couldn’t breakthrough; coincidentally, the Immortal Realm invaded, leaving me no further time.
Hence, I had to employ a secret technique, dividing my soul in two."
Dividing in two?
Who else besides Ye Qiubai could it be?
Seemingly seeing through Ye Qiubai’s question, the Green Cloud Sword Master gazes towards the nearby cloud layers, smiling, "Come out."
The clouds churn.
In Ye Qiubai’s bewilderment, a figure cloaked in black emerges from the distant clouds.
This was one of the members of the Immortal Realm’s team!
No wonder unnoticed, appears this black cloak and the one given by my master share similar qualities.
At this time.
The black-cloaked figure removes his hood, revealing a face Ye Qiubai is exceedingly familiar with.
Almost instantly, Ye Qiubai blurts out in surprise, "Chaos Essence Sword Master?"
The former sect leader of the Chaos Essence Sword Ancestor, one of the seven sects in the high-latitude region of The Mortal Realm!
At that time, after the major event transpired, the Chaos Essence Sword Master departed The Mortal Realm, whereabouts unknown; unexpectedly, joining the Immortal Realm.
