章 27: Eternal Darkness Sword
"What really happened?"
Luo Tian found it difficult to understand Yingyue's words.
"You can see for yourself, you were born with an innate sword, but it was sealed by a curse."
Luo Tian nodded.
Geniuses are born with various innate gifts, being born with innate weapons is one of them.
Those born with an innate spear for example, would be very talented in spear techniques.
However, even though he was able to examine his own body with the aid of the artifact, he never found the whereabouts of the sword.
Seeing that Yingyue wanted to continue talking, he chose to delay asking about it.
"Each of the seven chains represents one seal. If you can destroy one chain, you can start cultivating," Yingyue continued.
"Of course, there is a limit to your cultivation. If you want to cultivate to the peak, you must destroy all seven chains."
"Well, that's also just speculation after my father studied the chains."
"However, even my father cannot destroy them."
"But that was just before ten years ago. After doing a long research, the old man finally found a way to destroy them."
"What's that?"
"A grand paragon who attacks by detonating his physical body and primordial weapon. That attack is enough to shatter a single chain."
"What?"
Luo Tian almost jumped in surprise when he heard Yingyue's words.
How strong is a grand paragon?
It was said their fight would cause the entire universe to tremble. Detonating their physical bodies and primordial weapons was, without a doubt, their strongest attack.
But except to escape death, there was no way they would do that.
To form their physical bodies, would definitely require countless resources. Every grand paragon probably had enough resources to reshape their physical bodies. But it was different for their primordial weapons.
It was the most valuable weapon of them, each grand paragon might only have one, and it was the result of hard work after they became a grand paragon.
Luo Tian originally thought there were certain factors that caused the Qin Emperor to be unable to break the chains, but it turned out to be just a matter of strength.
"Are you scared now?" Yingyue chuckled as she saw his reaction.
She pushed herself slightly forward until her breasts pressed against Luo Tian's chest.
Looking at her round ass, Luo Tian felt like he had almost forgotten the topic they were talking about.
He quickly calmed his mind before saying, "I will die if a grand paragon releases his strongest attack within my body."
"No, you won't die." Yingyue shook her head, which surprised Luo Tian.
"There is a space within each of those chains. The attack will be unleashed within that space. When that space is shattered, the chain will also be shattered. According to the old man's estimation, before the chain is completely shattered, the effects of the attack will wear off first, so you can rest assured you will be fine."
"Actually if they attack from the outside, their strength won't be enough to even create cracks in the chains."
"So it's like detonating a bomb in a room." Luo Tian nodded in understanding.
"But asking the grand paragons to help me."
Luo Tian was about to shake his head, but Yingyue suddenly said, "they will help you if they see those chains."
"Those chains are made of the most powerful material, it's something that can drive grand paragons crazy. As long as they're not busy, they most likely don't mind sacrificing their physique and primordial weapons."
"But I don't recommend you go that way. Who knows what they will do once they find out what you have. Right now, only me and the old man know about that sword and those chains."
"That's why you'd rather me not cultivate and stay like this?"
"That's one of the reasons."
"But what exactly is that sword? Why did it appear with those chains."
"Well, the sword is just like any other innate gift, something that comes naturally. But you won't find any information about that sword even if you live in ancient times. According to the old man, even among the grand paragons, the existence of the sword is just a rumor."
"Then do you know what sword it is?"
Yingyue nodded in response.
"It's called the Eternal Darkness Sword."
"If you touch the sword with your spiritual sense, you will receive a recording of the creation of the sword. But I suggest you don't try to look, the process of creating the sword is too big for your eyes I'm not lying, but I almost died when I saw the recording."
"..."
"Wait, there is one thing that confuses me, why have I never found the whereabouts of the sword and the chains in my body?"
"The chains hid themselves so well, even your father couldn't find their whereabouts, only the old man managed to find their whereabouts. I was also only able to see them with his help. Luckily he left a spiritual formation for me to see where they were."
"Do you want to know how the sword was created?"
"Yeah, it's better if I know."
"Right, this will make it easier for you to make your choices. Do you know how our universe came into being?"
"Emmm, it seems my knowledge of this is very limited." Luo Tian smiled wryly.
The process of the creation of the universe is a mystery to many people. Top tier experts like his parents might know, but it could be said to be grand paragon level knowledge, they never spoke of it to him.
Although there are many rumors and speculations, unfortunately nothing is completely clear and can be ascertained.
Yingyue smiled before continuing, "Our nirvana realm is not the only universe, there are ten known universes, six of them have been destroyed and four still exist today."
"According to legend, before the ten universes were born, there was only infinite void, it was a place filled with darkness."
"Then, there was an explosion of light that engulfed all the darkness. The light is said to have gathered all the objects in that void and turned them into ten universes that continue to shine today."
"Myriad races were then born from those universes. There were also those born from that remnant of light, and they were the strongest race now known as the Primordial God clan."
"It's a simple story, but that's what happened in the past."
"However, did the darkness really dissipate?"
"You mean?"
"Yes, from the recording of the creation of the sword, I saw that darkness condense into a small dot and quietly hide among the lights of the universe. Billions of years later, it turned into a sword."
"The recording stops there."
"And who sealed the sword?"
"That should be the first Heavenly Emperor who is also the first ancestor of the Primordial God clan, he is the strongest grand paragon of all time."
"There is no record of that, but in history, he suddenly disappeared and his disappearance caused the Heavenly Realm which at that time was the strongest realm to lose its life aura. People in the heavenly realm then fled to other realms and now they are gathered in the nirvana realm."
"Since then, rumors have arisen that he discovered something very powerful."
"According to my guess, he found the sword, and maybe something happened between them that he sacrificed himself and the entire Heavenly Realm to seal the sword."
"That's not strange considering his Primordial God clan was born from the light that had erased the darkness in that void."
"And in the end, the sword was transformed into an innate weapon that was born with you."
"In theory, since it appeared as your innate weapon, it could be said to be a part of you. You are the sword, and the sword is you. However, it is ultimately something born of darkness in void. What will happen to you after that sword seal is broken is something that cannot be guessed."
"..."
Luo Tian was silent.
Everything Yingyue said carried too much weight. Perhaps even a grand paragon couldn't calm down after hearing about that.
Why had Yingyue previously said she would rather he not cultivate? One of the reasons was because she didn't want him to deal with those grand paragons. But obviously the main reason was because of the sword itself.
Yingyue patted him on the shoulder as he was silent.
"That matter, you don't need to think about it now. As I said, you can still cultivate without even touching the sword."
While saying that, Yingyue took out the dark iron box that Emperor Qin had given him.
