Primordial Qi

Chapter 144: Qing Ming Sword

The teleportation array flashed, and Gu Chenyu and Gu Qingxue came to a strange place. It seemed that there was no gravity here. The two were suspended in the air and could only communicate through voice transmission.

Fang Yixian didn't want to endure the pain of the teleportation array pulling her soul, so she drilled into Gu Chenyu's eyebrows and came into his sea of consciousness. The Tongtian Mirror even escaped into Gu Qingxue's dantian, leaving the pain to the two of them.

Gu Chenyu held Gu Qingxue's hand, and the two followed the guidance of the Tongtian Mirror to find a sleeping ancient sword. A bubble-like barrier appeared, and Gu Chenyu poked it with his finger, and the spiritual liquid instantly poured into his mouth and nose.

A soft circle of light appeared and pushed away the water, forming a huge bubble around the two of them. Only then did Gu Chenyu feel much better.

"What the hell is this place? It's only illuminated by a faint green light. My spiritual sense can only detect a hundred meters. I don't know what's here." Gu Chenyu's heart was beating wildly. This place brought a strong feeling of palpitations, making people feel uncomfortable.

"I don't know. There are countless bubbles of different sizes suspended here, and they are moving quickly. You were sucked into the bubble as soon as you touched it. In fact, it was moving forward to swallow you." Gu Qingxue said.

Flying downwards, they came to a water surface. From time to time, a few bubbles emerged from the blue lake surface and flew into the air, forming the bubble water balls they saw when they came down.

"Are we still heading to the bottom of the lake?" Gu Qingxue was a little hesitant. There was something wrong with the surface of the lake. The green light looked a little weird.

The Tongtian Mirror appeared, and a blue light emerged. Gu Chenyu and Gu Qingxue also emitted a light blue light. "You can go down now. I'm going to meet an old friend."

With a "splash", Gu Qingxue and Gu Chenyu jumped into the lake. They dived to the bottom of the lake, and a giant sword locked by iron chains appeared in his eyes. The chains were covered with various talismans, as if suppressing something.

There are countless complex inscriptions on the sword body, which looks like a sword manual or a law. The sword body is covered with rust, and the green rust looks like some ancient bronze artifacts.

"Why is this sword so huge? I feel dizzy after looking at it for a few seconds." Gu Chenyu didn't dare to stare at the sword anymore. After looking at it for a while, Gu Qingxue could only turn her head away. This thing was too terrifying.

The Tongtian Mirror continued to inject a blue light into it. After a long time, a terrifying pressure came, and the locked sword body vibrated violently. The sound of the chains was more like a sonic attack, almost making the two of them faint.

The ancient sword broke free from the chains that restrained it, and it made a sword sound, as if telling of a hundred thousand years of loneliness.

"Old friend, it's time to stretch your muscles." Tongtian Jing said, and the ancient sword continued to shrink, and finally became a small sword suitable for Gu Qingxue.

"This is the Qingming Sword, held by the ancient Qingming Emperor. However, it is now ownerless. It is willing to be your protector. It will choose its own affiliation when it sees Qingming one day in the future." Tongtian Mirror explained.

Gu Qingxue took the Qingming Sword, and the powerful sword intent made her enter a state of enlightenment. This was the feedback of the Qingming Sword's rhyme, which directly passed on the inheritance of Emperor Qingming to Gu Qingxue.

The Qingming Sword left Gu Qingxue, and whispered something to the Tongtian Mirror. Then it opened a space crack, allowing Gu Chenyu to take Gu Qingxue away first.

"What are you going to do?" Gu Chenyu frowned, feeling that this guy would make a big move.

"Deal with some things that have nothing to do with you. It's not good to know too much." The Tongtian Mirror emitted a gentle force to send the two away, and then went underground with the Qingming Sword. A strange blood-colored creature was suppressed by the Qingming Sword, and those talismans were used to suppress this creature.

"It's been a hundred thousand years, and you still won't let me go. I'm the king of the blood clan. Aren't you afraid of provoking another fight between the two clans?"

"You should have died long ago. My Lord suppressed you for a hundred thousand years out of mercy on all living beings. But it seems that you have not changed. Instead, you have become even more violent. You deserve to die." Qingming Sword said coldly.

"How dare you? How dare you?"

The terrifying sword intent and overwhelming cause and effect came, but this blood shadow was no ordinary creature and started a fierce battle with the two treasures.

Gu Chenyu and Gu Qingxue came to the outer hall. He put Gu Qingxue on the ground. She was still in the state of enlightenment and would definitely not wake up for a while. Gu Chenyu could only guard the side to avoid being disturbed. However, he didn't know where this place was. There were only heavenly beasts outside, so there must be no one here. He couldn't help but be curious and took out the Qiankun Creation Art.

Fang Yixian also came out of his body, and the two of them comprehended the mystery of this technique together.

"The first few chapters alone are already extremely powerful. It won't be a problem to practice all the way to the Supreme level. It's a pity that the techniques in the latter part seem to be locked and cannot be accessed." Fang Yixian said with some regret.

"Alas, I already have a headache just reading the cultivation rules for the monarch realm. This technique focuses on cultivating the soul in the venerable realm. If you are not a rare genius, it would be useless to read this technique."

Most people in the Venerable Realm still focus on spiritual cultivation. It takes hundreds of years for the soul to be nurtured to the level of the real soul, and then there is a chance to sprint to the Heavenly Realm. Gu Chenyu seemed to have thought of something. The lack of soul medicine made it impossible for many people to grow their soul embryos quickly in a short period of time. The ancient cultivators may have cut off a large amount of soul medicine for themselves, so the later generations’ cultivation was much slower.

"The soul medicines in the ring left by Qi Yuan are all above level seven. Taking out any one of them will cause competition in the outside world. It's a pity that these medicines are in a magic array and I can't take them out at all."

Gu Chenyu sighed and took out a seventh-level soul medicine. He would definitely be able to use it to step into the late stage of the Venerable, and Fang Yixian could also try to step into the peak of the Heavenly Man Realm. This soul medicine had such a powerful effect.

"Let's study this technique first, and protect Qingxue at the same time."

Three days passed in a flash, and the Tongtian Mirror and the Qingming Sword found him with traces of blood. At this moment, Gu Qingxue was still in seclusion and had not woken up.

"What happened? Are you injured?" Gu Chenyu asked.

"It's okay. That's the blood of the monster. We worked together to kill it." Tongtian Jing replied.

"What on earth is that? Even you two seem to have paid a price."

"It's terrifying. One hundred thousand years have passed and it's still hard to kill. I have been involved in a huge karma. I have to go into seclusion for a while to eliminate it." Tongtian Jing said tiredly. It took a new path and its strength had been greatly reduced. It had already taken on a huge karma by cooperating with the Qingming Sword to kill the ghost.

"Fortunately, we killed the monster. The 100,000 years of suppression was still effective." Qingming Sword said. Its aura was powerful, and there was a terrifying sword intent flowing around it, which made people feel afraid.

"She is about to wake up. Her natural strength is truly terrifying. You must conceal the secret for her. We must not let any existence sense my sword intent." Qingming Sword said to Tongtian Mirror.

A blue light shone on Gu Qingxue. It was the Tongtian Mirror that was concealing her secrets.

Gu Chenyu looked at the Qingming Sword curiously. This was the ultimate killing weapon held by the emperor. It was already a terrifying existence at the level of a supreme treasure. It was unknown whether he had any physical cultivation techniques.

"Senior Qing Ming Jian..."

"What's up youngster?"

"I have seen that you are extremely powerful. I am also Gu Qingxue's protector. I wonder if I can share my cultivation techniques with you."

Qingming Sword was silent for a while. Could a Venerable be the protector of the gods?

"Boy, bragging is not good. I am an artifact, so my cultivation method is naturally different from that of humans. Moreover, I have to swallow a lot of natural treasures to advance, mainly divine stones and rare materials, which is completely different from the cultivation of humans."

"Well, I wonder who is more powerful, the senior or the Tongtian Mirror?" Gu Chenyu asked curiously.

"No, it can predict the fate, while I can kill. We conquer different areas, and it took a different path, much earlier than me." Qing Ming Sword said, and then he seemed to be a little sleepy, his body kept getting smaller, and entered Gu Qingxue's Dantian. He transmitted his voice, "Boy, next time I wake up, if you are stronger than her, I will recognize your identity as the protector. I am too tired, I will take a nap first."

The Tongtian Mirror and the Qingming Sword must have been injured, otherwise they would not have fallen into a deep sleep. The Tongtian Mirror still has some things to do, so it would not have fallen into a deep sleep first.

"Boy, I may also fall into a deep sleep in two years, and then I will leave her to your protection." Tongtian Jing suddenly said.

Gu Chenyu nodded, he would protect Gu Qingxue without him saying anything.
