The Birth of Sword God-Chapter 240 - 207: Origin Spirit Realm, Broken!

Four Symbols Spirit Root?

Chu Huaixu looked at the prompt given by the system, a hint of astonishment flashing in his eyes.

With his current understanding of the cultivation system in Kunlun Cave Heaven and the Profound Yellow Realm, this thing is essentially a key object for cultivators.

The Profound Yellow Realm has only Spiritual Embryos, so they cultivate. Kunlun Cave Heaven has only Spirit Roots, so they cultivate immortality.

"Evil Pill would also devour the Spirit Root, I'm not surprised."

"But this thing is actually stored inside?" This left Chu Huaixu somewhat unexpected.

Moreover, according to the feedback from [Information Detection], this is a complete Four Symbols Spirit Root, not the residue left after devouring.

This left him somewhat perplexed.

With his current understanding of Evil Qi, this thing seems to devour everything, and he must rely on the power of [Dao Generating One] to absorb or expel it.

If he uses his spiritual power to retrieve objects from a distance, the spiritual power would instantly sink into the sea, going with no return.

If he uses his hand to pick it up, that would be courting death.

Therefore, why is this Spirit Root unharmed?

But now is undoubtedly not the time to ponder these things.

Every second in the Origin Spirit Realm is precious; after Chu Huaixu completed the necessary tasks, he immediately calmed his mind, sat cross-legged, and started the unprecedented operation of "Dao Scripture" to cultivate.

The entire process seemed somewhat unfamiliar...

The surrounding extremely dense Spiritual Qi began to madly pour into his body.

Chu Huaixu couldn't afford to be distracted to check the Character Panel; he had to concentrate fully on cultivation.

Because this Spiritual Qi is too immense, if he's not careful, he might hurt himself or leave hidden dangers.

He set an "alarm" in his system; when the time approached, he would leave the Origin Spirit Realm.

Make the most of resources, he raced against the clock.

...

...

Outside the Origin Spirit Realm, everyone seemed somewhat anxious.

"So much time has passed; we still don't know what's happening inside." Chu Yinyin couldn't hide her worries; this was the fourth time she'd said something similar.

"Don't be so anxious!" Jiang Zhi also replied for the fourth time.

But his heart was more restless than Chu Yinyin's.

The reason he told her to shut up was purely because it would make him more anxious.

In the dense forest, the Junior Martial Uncle of the Daoist Sect, clad in a white robe, was pacing back and forth.

After walking for a while, he would look up at the bright moon in the sky, and then continue walking.

Indeed, the strength Chu Huaixu displayed was unimaginably strong.

Plus, his unique Sword Spirit could even destroy Primordial Spirits.

However, according to the Daoist Ancestor's Proverbs, this round of the Origin Spirit Realm would be exceptionally perilous; everyone didn't know exactly to what extent, relying only on speculation and imagination.

Thus, it's inevitable to feel uneasy.

This was the most challenging one in nearly a thousand years!

Only the lively Chu Yinyin was still thinking, "Does this mean that if my future disciple can return safely, he would be the strongest in the First Realm in these near thousand years?"

Though thinking about it, she didn't believe there could be another First Realm stronger than Chu Huaixu in these thousand years!

At this moment, even Mei Chuxue couldn't help but speak: "There's less than half an incense stick's time left."

This beautiful lady, both in appearance and temperament, couldn't help but be concerned about the young man's safety.

In the East Continent's competition, she had already developed a keen interest in this young man.

At this moment, she couldn't help but feel that today's world is indeed a bit too cruel. The fate of the world and the safety of the Profound Yellow rested on a novice cultivator tonight.

"If I had to bear such great pressure..." Mei Chuxue thought, in her youth, her Dao heart might have collapsed.

The Heir of Prince Rui, on the other hand, intended to show off at this moment.

He gently patted Lin Zixuan's shoulder and said, "Zixuan, go and explain the exact situation to the seniors."

The young girl, who was eating a Spirit Fruit, was startled by the sudden pat, almost dropping the fruit.

Her first reaction was actually to swallow the fruit pulp in her mouth before finishing the Spirit Fruit in one go.

Only then did she turn her head to look at Brother Prince, nodding slightly.

"Seniors, at least Chu Huaixu's life is not in danger. I can sense this." She, being the one with the lowest cultivation present, said with utmost certainty.

"Because he infused a Spirit Seed inside you?" Jiang Zhi immediately turned and asked.

The Heir of Prince Rui: "..."

Seniors, isn't your wording a bit outrageous?

However, Lin Zixuan nodded quickly and said, "Yes, he left me a Spirit Seed."

"If he dies, the Spirit Seed in me would also instantly perish."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhi, the pressure monster began to perform steadily. He stared into the girl's eyes and asked, "Can you be completely sure of this, even across the Origin Spirit Realm?"

His cultivation was powerful to begin with, plus he proved his Dao through killing. At this moment, his frown sent a terrifying oppressive force surging, making it hard for anyone to breathe.

"Ah, this..." The girl really didn't dare to guarantee it.

She couldn't help but glance back, looking a little resentfully at her Brother Prince. She was just concentrating on eating fruit, not expecting to say all this.

——Why is Elder Jiang so annoying, too?

Chu Yinyin watched from the side, criticizing in her heart, "No wonder Master doesn't like him and said he couldn't possibly have any feminine charm."

Fortunately, Situ Cheng explained for Jiang Zhi, saying, "You all may not know, but the Origin Spirit Realm is indeed mystical; it's unreliable to judge based on it alone."

"Previously, once, my Sword Sect disciple entered; even though the [Life Token] hadn't shattered, we thought he was safe and sound. But, half an hour later, when the exit opened, the Life Token instantly cracked."

"This situation has happened before."

After speaking, he glanced at Jiang Zhi.

He just felt that this little old man always acted as if he didn't care to explain anything to others.

It seemed that Jiang Zhi lived his entire life acting without needing to explain himself to anyone?!

This kind of arrogance surely explained his poor social relations.

Everyone listened to the words of one of the [Four Great Divine Swords], nodding slightly in understanding.

A cloud of gloom shrouded everyone's hearts.

Regarding the great calamity of the world, their lives and possessions were also tied to Chu Huaixu alone.

...

...

Daoist Sect, Wenda Peak Hall.

The gazes of Xiang Yan and the others often converged on the Life Token on the table.

Even though the Life Token hadn't shattered, they couldn't fully ascertain Chu Huaixu's safety, but they couldn't resist looking.

After all, the Life Token isn't always inaccurate.

"Sect Leader, it's already been almost half an hour." Nangong Yue couldn't help but speak up.

"No matter, we must have faith in Chu Huaixu." Xiang Yan steadied everyone's emotions.

He continued, "Do what we can, and leave the rest to fate."

"For the past thousand years, a cultivator in the First Realm with such stunning talent as Chu Huaixu has never been seen before."

"If even he fails, it means the Profound Yellow Realm faces an inescapable catastrophe."

Upon hearing this, Li Chunsong also began to speak.

"I know you are uneasy because Chu Huaixu is a variable outside of the Daoist Ancestor's Proverbs."

"But I think, if even the Dao Ancestor with his heaven-penetrating abilities couldn't predict this young man, it actually signifies something on the side."

"He is indeed a variable, but he is also beyond the confines of destiny!" Li Chunsong declared loudly.

The one who brought him up the mountain was me, and I believe in him!

He's already thought it through, if Chu Huaixu truly accomplishes this noble act of salvation, one day when Li Chunsong passes away peacefully, the story of him bringing this young man up the mountain must be etched on his epitaph!

"I am not wrong!"

"Perhaps, this is the most correct thing I've ever done in my life!"

In the hall, Han Shuangjiang and Xu Ziqing exchanged a glance.

Their care and concern for Chu Huaixu were the strongest and the purest.

It wasn't because of any great earthly calamity, nor because of anything else, they just purely cared very much about this person.

They cared very much indeed.

"You must return safe and sound." The two thought.

At this moment, the feeling of apprehension was very unpleasant.

These two protagonists of the world were eager to grow and become stronger!

They must practice cultivation more diligently!

In this way, the future pressure will not always fall solely on Chu Huaixu.

...

...

Outside the Profound Yellow Realm, in Kunlun Cave Heaven.

Over an endless black sea, two people were seated opposite each other, playing a game of chess.

They hovered above the sea surface, with most of the stones already placed on the chessboard.

The one holding the white pieces was a young man with gray hair.

The one holding the black pieces was an old man with long black hair.

Strangely, the sea beneath them was as calm as a mirror, with no waves, not even a ripple.

The fish under the sea were motionless, as if frozen in time.

But ten miles away, the waves were tumultuous!

As if these two were the center, even the laws of nature were being defied.

Here, not even a breeze could be felt.

If birds flew overhead from ten miles away, they would suddenly find themselves at the other end, passing directly through this area.

They would not be hindered in their flight, but they could not enter either.

It was as if nothing in the world could interfere with the game between these two.

Only the clouds in the sky remained in constant motion.

Because when the gray-haired young man was thinking, he would lift his head and gaze leisurely at the sky.

The wooden chessboard was placed on a suspended wooden table, with a lamp beside it.

That was Ye Kongxuan's soul lamp.

It continuously emitted a dim golden glow, indicating his primordial spirit was intact.

"The time is almost up." The young man spoke, his voice ancient.

"Hmm." The old man responded, his voice crystal clear and bright.

The two both glanced at the soul lamp, then continued playing chess, saying nothing more, with expressions revealing no emotions.

Until half an hour had passed, and a vortex appeared in the sky, yet no one emerged.

The soul lamp on the table still flickered with a dim light.

Sitting next to the chess table, the two exchanged another look, still showing little emotion.

As if such a major event could not cause much disturbance.

"He failed. Let's go back." The young man spoke.

"Alright." The old man responded.

Their figures vanished, along with the chess table and the cushions.

Only Ye Kongxuan's soul lamp remained, not taken by them.

As the table disappeared, it still floated above the sea, glimmering faintly.

In a few breaths' time, the laws of the world within ten miles returned to normal in an instant.

The sea once again surged with waves, the fish inside swam actively.

Only the soul lamp fell from a height, into the endless black sea, submerged by the water.

...

...

At the entrance to the Origin Spirit Realm of the Profound Yellow Realm, Chu Yinyin and Mei Chuxue spoke in unison:

"Time is up!"

A vortex appeared then.

A figure in a black long robe slowly stepped out of the vortex.

He was drenched in blood, covered in wounds, with even two bloody holes that hadn't fully healed! It was shocking!

The young man's right hand held a somewhat shriveled corpse, while his left palm opened, and a piece of [Profound Yellow Origin Fragment] floated above it.

Chu Huaixu extended his left hand forward, and the fragmented mirror in midair reflected everyone's expressions.

Some were joyful, some were shocked, some were excited....

Covered in blood, he tossed the corpse from his right hand forward, throwing it before a group of cultivation magnates, and said calmly:

"Mission accomplished."
