The Birth of Sword God-Chapter 258 - 225: Not the Dao Ancestor, but the Dao Companion!

Chapter 258: Chapter 225: Not the Dao Ancestor, but the Dao Companion!

A warm current surged through Han Shuangjiang’s body, and her feelings of hunger and thirst vanished in an instant.

She didn’t know why this was happening.

But this undoubtedly reassured the young girl who was comprehending the sword.

Though she had a good disposition and wouldn’t fall into a "cycle of hunger," she couldn’t be completely unaffected by it.

At this moment, free from this trouble, Han Shuangjiang felt more at ease.

This meant that she wouldn’t feel the pressure of time for now.

Previously, she truly felt she was about to starve and die of thirst.

"So, this actually isn’t one of the trials?" the girl thought.

Now, she was very clear that she had entered the Daoist Ancestor Inheritance Secret Realm.

If the huge character "Dao" in the previous rounds merely fueled her speculation, then the figure in a Daoist robe carrying the Daoist Ancestor Sword Scabbard in this round undoubtedly provided the answer.

The one carrying the Daoist Ancestor Sword Scabbard must be the Dao Ancestor, it couldn’t possibly be Chu Huaixu, right?

With a thought, Han Shuangjiang mused to herself, "It seems the Dao Ancestor prepared something in the secret realm."

"He wants those who enter the secret realm not to be too hasty and to take their time comprehending."

"The Inheritance Secret Realm is set in the Outer Sect, and low tier cultivators would be troubled by eating and drinking."

"The Dao Ancestor really considered everything meticulously, even paying attention to such details."

For a moment, she felt even more reverent toward the Dao Ancestor.

....

....

Inside the third trial of the secret realm, Chu Huaixu sat in front of Han Shuangjiang, watching her with great interest.

She was unaware, completely oblivious to the presence of another person in the secret realm.

He simply watched quietly, feeling that the more he looked, the more flawless her beauty seemed.

There are many people in this world who are stunning at first glance, but after a while, they become less appealing.

The Big Ice Cube was different; anyway, Chu Huaixu found her pleasing to the eye no matter how long he looked.

"Since she’s almost completely unaware of the outside world, should I do something to her?"

He raised his hands, intending to pinch her cheek.

But then he reconsidered, thinking maybe it wasn’t a good idea; after all, she was comprehending the sword, and something might go wrong.

Of course, he wasn’t entirely consumed with romance; after observing his little housekeeper for a while, he started to do other things to pass the time.

He wasn’t sure how long it would take the Big Ice Cube to break through, so he couldn’t just wait idly.

Amusingly, the sword tassel of the Super Grade Spirit Sword Zhegu Heaven floating beside Han Shuangjiang had drifted over to rub against Chu Huaixu.

With the master in seclusion, it took this opportunity to show its affection toward him.

Chu Huaixu chuckled, and lightly patted the sword’s surface, which emitted a low, suppressed hum.

After doing this, Chu Huaixu sat cross-legged, focusing his Divine Sense into the Black Bead to check on the situation of "Dao Generating One."

The strand of Power of Origin was still being refined, but it seemed that part of it had already merged into the medicine cauldron.

"I wonder what kind of changes it will bring?" he thought.

Besides that, Chu Huaixu glanced at the Evil Pill containing the Four Symbols Spirit Root once more.

He was temporarily unsure how to deal with it.

After some thought, he decided that once he left the secret realm, he would seek out Xiang Yan and others to acquire some items from Ye Kongxuan’s storage pouch, to better understand the cultivation system on the Kunlun Cave Heaven side, and study it thoroughly.

Anyway, according to the rules, that was his spoils of war, only temporarily used by the sect.

"Perhaps this Evil Pill and Spirit Root might have their use in the future?" Chu Huaixu mused.

Two days passed in a flash.

Han Shuangjiang was still in a meditation state.

Every day, Chu Huaixu would feed her a Grain Avoidance Pill regularly.

When idle, he’d practice his swordsmanship here.

He didn’t plan to improve his swordsmanship level this way, as it was too inefficient.

It was merely because he needed some time to adapt after advancing through so many realms at once.

With the system upgrade, he didn’t need to spend time consolidating his cultivation, it was solid enough.

But he needed to adapt to his newly enhanced power, especially the power of the flesh, ensuring he could control it with ease daily.

In fact, now he could be said to have boundless strength.

If he couldn’t control it well, everyday tasks like holding a bowl could become troublesome, as he could accidentally crush it.

Ascending level by level normally wouldn’t cause such issues, but this time the leap was too great.

That’s why he hadn’t rushed to reach Second Realm Great Perfection.

"In the character panel, there’s still several hundred thousand Experience Points, more than enough to reach Level 29," Chu Huaixu thought.

A few hours later, he noticed Han Shuangjiang, who hadn’t moved a bit, suddenly had her fine, long lashes tremble slightly.

The Reincarnation Sword Intent she had cultivated to Minor Success emanated from her, and in an unconscious state, she entered the Celestial Human State, her hair instantly turning snow white.

She then slowly opened her eyes.

What greeted her was still the huge "Dao" character with a sword mark on the stone wall.

The only difference was that today, there stood someone frequently on her mind in front of the stone wall.

It was that figure in the black and gold robe.

Though the girl’s face, after entering the celestial state, should have been expressionless, a hint of astonishment and confusion appeared.

"What, you think you’ve become delusional from longing day in and day out, and started hallucinating?" Chu Huaixu looked at her with a slight smile.

Listening to such cheeky words, the Big Ice Cube immediately understood that it wasn’t an illusion; it was really him.

And in the next moment, the girl suddenly realized.

She immediately figured out why she suddenly wasn’t thirsty or hungry.

There’s no meticulously considerate Dao Ancestor.

It’s just because he came.

He came to the Dao Ancestor Secret Realm.

...

...

Chu Huaixu leaned against the stone wall, arms crossed, striking a pose on purpose.

At this moment, he slowly walked up to Han Shuangjiang, looking at her head full of white hair.

Admittedly, she had a unique charm in her Celestial Human State.

This look of being untouched by the world yet incredibly aloof was different from her usual cool demeanor.

One Dao companion, two modes... Tsk! Hit the jackpot!

The Big Ice Cube noticed him looking at her hair and immediately withdrew the Reincarnation Sword Intent.

"Do you need to first stabilize your Sword Intent?" Chu Huaixu asked.

"No problem," she replied.

"After fasting for so many days and eating Grain Avoidance Pills for a few more, want a Spirit Fruit to satisfy your cravings?" He asked, taking out a Spirit Fruit from the Storage Token.

The girl shook her head, just staring intently at him.

"How did you get in here?" She was a bit curious.

"I don’t know. The Sixth Elder told me you entered the Daoist Ancestor Inheritance Secret Realm, so I asked him to take me to see it."

"Then I touched that stone, and a wisp of the Power of Dao Scripture in me was absorbed, and I was sucked in."

"What about you?" He asked Han Shuangjiang in return.

The girl didn’t mention that she touched the stone with her butt and accidentally sat right in.

She just said, "I also touched that big stone and inexplicably entered the secret realm."

Hearing this, Chu Huaixu was a bit puzzled, analyzing to himself, "Over the past thousand years, it’s unlikely that you’re the only one to touch that stone; the inheritance entry should have its own standards for activation."

"Perhaps because you’re a Super Grade Spiritual Embryo, or maybe it’s just your Fate Technique..." he began analyzing with a long explanation.

Han Shuangjiang looked at him, nodded slightly, and then asked, "Did you also pass two stages in front?"

"No," Chu Huaixu waved his hand.

Then he started talking about how generous and kind the Dao Ancestor was.

"You wouldn’t believe it, in the first stage, I didn’t do anything, and my Divine Sense just surged."

Han Shuangjiang: "..."

"As for the second stage, I walked in and saw puppet remnants everywhere. Then I soaked in a medicinal bath and unexpectedly, there was still a lot of medicinal power left, which I almost couldn’t finish absorbing."

Han Shuangjiang: "..."

Her journey here had been far from easy.

But this dead fox seemed to just cruise in and gather all the benefits!

"Did you comprehend any Sword Marks at this stage?" she asked curiously.

Upon hearing this, Chu Huaixu began to act as he usually did.

"Of course, I felt the Dao Ancestor’s two sword strikes, and my heart was moved, raising my Sword Intent to Minor Success," he said casually.

Once again, Han Shuangjiang was speechless: "..."

However, after they confirmed their Dao companion relationship, they were much more intimate in conversation than before. Unlike her cold demeanor with others, she was a bit more girlish with him.

So she replied with feigned annoyance, "Look at how smug you are."

"Not really, just a trivial Sword Dao genius," Chu Huaixu shifted the topic, starting to talk about what happened after they parted ways, asking:

"Did you practice the techniques I gave you?"

Han Shuangjiang nodded and said, "I learned a Swordsmanship and a Water Control Technique."

After speaking, she took out a Jade Scroll from the Storage Token and returned it to Chu Huaixu.

"Why just two? Were the others not quite suitable?"

"Yeah, the others didn’t seem to have a high compatibility, and it’s not good to bite off more than you can chew," she had her judgment.

"Alright," Chu Huaixu nodded.

He gently took the girl’s small hand, looked down at her, and asked teasingly: "Why’d you suddenly go to the Cold Pool? Was there something happening?"

The dead fox began laying the groundwork.

Han Shuangjiang paused, then immediately shook her head.

"Just passing by."

It’s often said that objects bring back memories; the cold-faced girl couldn’t just admit she inadvertently thought of their past and wandered over.

"Really? Where could you be traveling to pass by the Cold Pool?"

"I just went to the market, bought some things, and wasn’t the Cold Pool on the way back?"

"But the part you passed is the outskirts of the Cold Pool, this stone is in the internal area, where we entered the Cold Pool Secret Realm," Chu Huaixu replied.

"Just took a random walk."

"Really?" Chu Huaixu said again.

The girl’s patience finally wore thin under his persistent questioning, and she blurted out, "What do you want to say after all?"

"It’s you who haven’t said something."

The dead fox finally made his move, staring into her eyes, teasing her emotions again:

"Is it that hard to say you’ve been thinking about me these days?"
