Chapter 512 - 453: The Secret of Heaven and Earth Sword

The fissure in the sky was thus patched up.

Everything happened so quickly, too quickly.

So quickly that Xiang Yan, standing beside Chu Huaixu, didn’t react immediately.

Just now, in the heart of this Daoist Sect Leader, there was even a hint of despair.

This time, the Celestial Venerable’s [Heaven Opening] had almost split the sky apart in the Profound Yellow Realm.

Judging by this power, it seemed like a full-scale descent was imminent.

This indicated that the grand disaster of heaven and earth was reaching its end!

But what about the situation here in the Profound Yellow Realm?

"Sword Venerable has died and the Junior Martial Uncle has departed." Xiang Yan lamented in his heart.

These two were the strongest combatants in the East Continent.

Under these circumstances, unless the Dao Ancestor is reborn, how could the Profound Yellow Realm have any fighting power?

Even if by some miracle they could win, could withstand the grand disaster of heaven and earth, it would inevitably lead to immense destruction.

The words "immense destruction" are undeniably heavy.

As such, Xiang Yan was already prepared to die.

But what was the result?

What did Chu Huaixu just do?

With a wave of his hand, he patched up the sky!

This is definitely not something achievable simply by having a Fruit Position!

Because the last time a celestial shadow appeared in the sky and said, "Heaven obeys my command, all things bow," even just using the Dark Night Sky had put him to sleep, utterly depleted.

This couldn’t be executed merely with a Night Venerable Fruit Position.

But now was hardly the time for examining these things.

How Chu Huaixu accomplished it no longer mattered.

What mattered was that he had once again performed a heroic deed to save the world!

Xiang Yan let out a long sigh of relief.

He turned his head to look at the young man beside him, only to see Chu Huaixu still solemnly looking up at the sky.

This caused the relieved heart of the bald Sect Leader to be lifted again.

Is it... not over yet?

Little did they know Chu Huaixu was deeply worried.

"The [Absolute Defense] actually worked!" The Dead Fox was first ecstatic in his heart.

The system is really amazing.

But he quickly remembered that this thing had a time limit.

For instance, he was now fighting a life-and-death battle with the Celestial Venerable.

The Absolute Defense could indeed block all of his attacks.

But what if he kept attacking?

Once the time limit was up, it would be troublesome.

Though the crack in the sky was indeed patched now, Chu Huaixu was unsure if the Kunlun Cave Heaven had more tricks up its sleeve.

This thought occurred simply because the Profound Yellow Realm really knew too little about Kunlun.

As time passed, with no new fissures appearing in the sky, he finally let out a long sigh of relief.

"The problem should be temporarily resolved," he said.

But this feeling remained rather bad.

Because no one could ascertain when the Immortal Venerables would strike again.

Would it be in a few days, or a few months?

Or perhaps just a few hours later!

Moreover, what troubled Chu Huaixu even more was that despite achieving such a feat, which should significantly aid the main storyline, for some reason, the system didn’t reward him with any Experience Points.

This left him genuinely puzzled.

Chu Huaixu looked up at the sky, harboring another doubt in his heart.

"Why did I feel that the Heaven-Repairing Power just now was of the same origin as the Power of Origin within me?"

Meanwhile, at the Endless Sea of Kunlun, several Divinity Transformation Immortal Venerables were equally puzzled, with countless questions in their hearts.

Cang Wu’s face looked grim, with blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

Surprisingly, his blood was silver-white.

"Celestial Venerable, why is this so?" Spirit Venerable asked solemnly, his dignified face bearing unmasked questioning.

After all, under the Celestial Venerable’s plan, he had sacrificed an Innate Supreme Treasure.

But what was the result?

This Heaven Opening had failed.

Furthermore, this time all the Divinity Transformation Immortal Venerables had joined forces to perform Heaven Opening, with everyone forming an array on the sides.

This resulted in them suffering backlash, albeit not as severe as Cang Wu’s, but still taking some damage.

All the Immortal Venerables’ gazes focused on the Celestial Venerable.

But the Celestial Venerable only said, "I do not know."

As soon as these words were spoken, several cold snorts immediately followed.

Cang Wu ignored them.

This white-haired youth lifted his eyes—whose whites were more prominent—looked up at the heavens of the Kunlun Cave Heaven.

His right hand within the sleeve twitched every few breaths.

It was a fear embedded in him by a special power that had mended the rift in the sky!

The other Immortal Venerables, merely assisting from the side, did not feel it strongly.

He had directly faced this power.

"It... feels somewhat familiar."

...

...

In the East Continent, Daoist Sect, Hidden Spirit Mountain.

Li Chunsong and Nangong Yue, who were closest to the mountain gate, had already returned to the Sect at this moment.

Looking at Li Chunsong, Chu Huaixu couldn’t help but speak: "Master, your right arm...."

In this descent to kill enemies, Li Chunsong had lost a hand.

To be precise, half of his forearm was severed.

The Charitable Gambling King, observing his disciple’s concerned eyes, smiled and said, "It’s alright, even with one hand it won’t affect my gambling."

He was seemingly trying to lighten the atmosphere.

But how could the atmosphere lighten, as everyone stood before the fractured Spirit Sword [Yao Yao]?

Li Chunsong forced a smile, hiding a trace of sorrow in his eyes, loudly proclaiming:

"Hey, hey, hey! Junior Martial Uncle wouldn’t want to see us like this."

He kept chattering away on the side.

In truth, among the others, the calmest was Shen Man.

She stood silently before [Yao Yao], without a trace of sorrow on her face.

On the contrary, after a while, she even slowly closed her eyes.

A few breaths later, a surge of power rippled from her.

It was the aftershock of a Sword Domain!

"Junior Sister, you have.... learned the [Heaven and Earth Sword]?" Xiang Yan couldn’t help but ask.

To this, Shen Man slightly shook her head.

Seeing Chu Huaixu watching her, she thought her personal disciple wanted to learn the [Heaven and Earth Sword], so she took out a small Jade Scroll from her Storage Token.

"Master... before... leaving, gave this to me."

She handed the Jade Scroll to Chu Huaixu.

Chu Huaixu didn’t decline.

He infused his Divine Sense into the Jade Scroll.

After a while, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Human and Sword Unity?"

"But why is it this form of Human and Sword Unity!"

To learn the [Heaven and Earth Sword], the prerequisite is achieving Human and Sword Unity.

Moreover, it’s... [True Human-Sword Unity]!

It requires merging with your Lifebound Sword’s Sword Spirit.

Assimilating the Sword Spirit into your Sea of Consciousness!

Rather than simply establishing a connection between your Sea of Consciousness and the Sword Spirit.

However, this path is perilous, mostly leading to falling into demonhood, needing repression usually.

At this moment, Chu Huaixu suddenly had an enlightening moment, freezing for an instant.

Because in his Sea of Consciousness, there existed a presence similar to a "Sword Spirit"!

——[Heart Sword]!

(PS: The new Platinum Writer list for this year is out, again I haven’t been selected, still a runner-up.

But I actually knew the result for quite some time, as I was seemingly just one vote short in the poll, unfortunately missing out.

However, not winning this year is still okay, given the issues with my physical and mental state, the updates of this book have been lacking, alas, not qualified enough indeed.)
