Truth Exposed, Empresses Beg for Forgiveness-Chapter 44: Jian Ling’er Has No Sword Heart?! Just Live Well, Don’t Die, Don’t Let My Efforts Be in Vain

Chapter 44: Chapter 44: Jian Ling’er Has No Sword Heart?! Just Live Well, Don’t Die, Don’t Let My Efforts Be in Vain

Jian Ling’er heard what Luo Xuan said.

"It seems you don’t understand our Sword Spirit Race. We practice the ultimate Sword Dao. Countless masters renowned in the Northern Domain have emerged from our ranks!"

Jian Ling’er spoke with undeniable pride in her voice.

She seemed very proud to be part of the Sword Spirit Race.

But in the next moment, Jian Ling’er’s eyes revealed a noticeable gloom.

"However, I am different from the others.

Because I was born without a Sword Heart..."

Being someone from the Sword Spirit Race yet lacking the crucial Sword Heart is akin to being as worthless as a dead weight!

...

Within the Celestial Emperor Palace.

Many cultivators who heard Jian Ling’er couldn’t help but be stunned.

"This girl from the Sword Spirit Race doesn’t have a Sword Heart?"

"If I recall correctly, members of the Sword Spirit Race are born with a Sword Heart, why doesn’t this girl have one?"

"Perhaps, the sheer number of Sword Spirit members from back then led to such a rare occurrence like this girl."

"Speaking of which, if this girl happens to gain a Sword Heart in the future..."

Many cultivators were taken aback.

They were worldly individuals, hence they knew that members of the Sword Spirit Race are born with a Sword Heart.

All members of the Sword Spirit Race are innate Sword Cultivators!

But why does this girl lack a Sword Heart?

Perhaps it is a rare anomaly akin to a mutation.

Some at this moment already started connecting the dots.

Jian Ling’er...

Jian Lingxin...

The names of this girl and the Sword Spirit Empress differ by only one character.

Despite the scar ruining her beauty, their profiles are similar.

Moreover, this girl lacks a Sword Heart.

Everything seems coincidental.

Could it be in the future, the girl might acquire a Sword Heart through other means?

Remember, initially, Luo Lixing also didn’t have Double Pupils.

It was only after the Celestial Emperor bestowed Double Pupils that the Lixing Empress gained them.

Though it’s unclear why the Celestial Emperor later retrieved the Double Pupils from Luo Lixing.

If not for today’s revelations, they wouldn’t know Luo Lixing’s Double Pupils were from the Celestial Emperor.

If Jian Ling’er from the scenes acquired a Sword Heart, wouldn’t that mean...

Jian Lingxin knew what many were likely thinking.

She stood firm with her sword, her expression unchanged.

"Do you all assume Jian Ling’er obtaining a Sword Heart would make her me?

Wrong! This very difference I mentioned before is the biggest distinction between this girl and myself.

I bear the Liuli Jianxin, the purest and most flawless Sword Heart. The Liuli Jianxin is a talent Sword Heart and cannot be acquired postnatally.

This girl lacks a Sword Heart entirely and cannot be me.

Especially since Sword Heart, unlike Double Pupils, cannot be transplanted whimsically!"

Jian Lingxin was absolutely confident that the girl in the image was not her.

She possesses the Liuli Jianxin, but this girl was born devoid of a Sword Heart.

Being naturally devoid of a Sword Heart almost completely blocks the path to becoming a Sword Cultivator.

Even if the girl could awaken a Sword Heart with a strong yearning for the Sword Dao, she couldn’t awaken the Liuli Jianxin.

Some talents are innate divine techniques, and the Liuli Jianxin is an innate Sword Heart.

It cannot be awakened postnatally!

As Jian Lingxin’s words ended, a Sword Emperor filled with intense Sword Intent spoke.

"Indeed, Lady Empress is correct.

Unlike Double Pupils, which can be transplanted like the Young Celestial Emperor did for the Lixing Empress.

Double Pupils release various divine techniques.

But Sword Hearts are different; they represent a person’s understanding and heart for the Sword Dao!

Each person has a different understanding of the Sword Dao, some wield the sword to kill, some hold it to protect.

Some only wield it to roam freely in the world, battling stars and clouds in leisure.

Even if one acquires another’s Sword Heart, it can’t be used at all!"

The speaker was Jian Wuming, known as the world’s second-best sword, second only to the Sword Spirit Empress.

Sword Heart represents a person’s fundamental understanding of the Sword Dao.

Even if a heart was forcibly dug out, others couldn’t use it.

When the Celestial Emperor previously battled White Eyebrow Daoist in the sky, he indeed showed a great Sword Dao talent.

Perhaps the Celestial Emperor might also possess a formidable Sword Heart.

But ultimately, the Celestial Emperor’s Sword Heart would only be his. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Even if he wanted to give it to Jian Ling’er, she couldn’t use it!

Hearing Jian Lingxin and Jian Wuming speak.

Many cultivators at this point set aside their doubts.

It seems like the kind of transplant event that happened between the Celestial Emperor and Luo Lixing.

Won’t happen here with Jian Ling’er.

Wang Teng sighed in relief.

However, Jian Ling’er not becoming the future Sword Spirit Empress is good.

Otherwise, it would truly be a cosmic joke on him!

...

Within the scenes shown by the Reincarnation Mirror.

Young Luo Xuan heard what Jian Ling’er said.

Sword Heart?

Despite previously being a cultivator at the Peak of the Nascent Soul Stage.

His understanding of cultivation only came from Lin Xiaoyao’s most basic cultivation technique.

Even now, he had no idea what a Sword Heart was.

However, Luo Xuan didn’t wish to directly ask, to avoid exposing this girl’s wound.

After pondering, Luo Xuan said.

"Miss Ling’Er, tell me about your Sword Spirit Race."

As long as Jian Ling’er spoke about the Sword Spirit Race.

She would surely mention Sword Heart.

"Sure! I’ll tell you, our Sword Spirit Race is formidable!"

Jian Ling’er seemed to have opened a chat box.

She spoke to young Luo Xuan about everything regarding the Sword Spirit Race.

Actually, she didn’t divulge any Sword Spirit Race secrets, but only widely known matters.

Even these, young Luo Xuan was hearing for the first time.

While Jian Ling’er spoke, young Luo Xuan listened intently.

His brows furrowed imperceptibly at some point.

He now knew what he needed to know.

With Jian Ling’er’s identity as a Sword Spirit member but lacking a Sword Heart, it’s indeed grave to the point of being useless...

"Phew, that’s all I can say. The Sword Spirit Race has secrets that outsiders can’t know."

Jian Ling’er said this while feeling a bit guilty.

Actually, more than this, she basically didn’t know either.

For a discarded member of the Sword Spirit Race like her, many secrets are beyond her reach.

Young Luo Xuan nodded without scrutinizing Jian Ling’er’s words.

"Even that is enough."

Even with just this, it was enough for him to understand the Sword Spirit Race.

Enough to let him understand where he currently was and his situation.

"The gratitude for saving my life is eternal.

Miss Ling’Er, you saved me, is there anything I can do for you?"

As these words left Luo Xuan’s mouth, Jian Ling’er looked at young Luo Xuan.

"There is indeed something."

"Whatever it is, I’ll do my utmost."

"Well, it’s simple and also challenging."

Jian Lingxin looked at this peer she rescued.

"Live well, don’t die, don’t let my efforts today be in vain..."
