Jianchen was overjoyed by the awakening of the sword spirits. Ever since he had helped Mo Tianyun's original body break free and fused the twin swords, the sword spirits had fallen into a slumber due to exhaustion. No matter how he called out to them, there was no response.
At this moment, the slumbering sword spirits had finally begun to awaken, which made Jianchen extremely happy.
However, at the same time, he realized that the old man before him was probably not as simple as he seemed. He could vaguely sense that the sword spirits had awakened from their slumber because of this old man.
At this moment, the sword spirits had already appeared above Jianchen's head. They had turned into a pair of illusionary young men completely condensed from light. The man was handsome while the woman was beautiful. They seemed like a perfect match.
They stared at the old man condensed from azure light as they gradually became stern. They called out, "Primeval Qi. I never thought we'd be able to see a spirit condensed from a sliver of Primeval Qi."
Jianchen was surprised when he heard that. He could not help but carefully study the old man. Even though he did not really understand what Primeval Qi meant, he could vaguely sense that the old man was probably an existence similar to the sword spirits.
The old man condensed from azure light stared at the sword spirits with mixed feelings. He sighed, "A spirit condensed from yin and yang Qi. I never thought that I'd be able to meet an existence similar to me in this cursed land after all these years. However, you seem to be extremely weak. "
"Senior, you're the hall spirit of this divine hall?" Jian Chen could not help but ask out of curiosity when he heard that.
The old man looked at Jianchen and nodded, "You've guessed correctly. I am the hall spirit of this divine hall."
"Then may I ask who the master of this divine hall is?" Jianchen continued to ask.
The old man sighed softly when he heard this. There was a hint of loneliness on his face as he said dejectedly, "Master has already perished in the annals of history. He isn't a person of this epoch."
A gleam of light flashed through the sword spirits' eyes when they heard that. They called out, "You were born in the previous aeon?"
The old man shook his head again, "More accurately speaking, I was born in the aeon before the aeon before that."
"The aeon before the aeon before that?" The sword spirits were surprised. They stared at the old man deeply and said, "Since you've already existed for so long, why haven't there been any rumors about you in the outside world?"
"That's because I've been trapped here, unable to leave at all. No one knows where I am, so there's obviously no news about me in the outside world," said the old man. He stared at Jianchen and the sword spirits deeply before continuing, "You are the first living beings to see me after my master's death, as well as the first beings to set foot in this cursed land."
"Cursed land? Why is this place known as the cursed land? And what's the mist outside? Is the mist the reason why you've been trapped? "Jianchen asked.
"No, no. The mist you see is not what's trapping me. Instead, it's a wondrous power formed from the combination of the power of the Primeval Divine Hall and the power of the curse. As for the cursed land, it's the World of Moon and Star you were in before, as well as the world where the Primeval Divine Hall was. These are all cursed places. "
"The power of the curse was left behind by the Dao Unity Saint. It has already fused with this world, fusing with the laws. It's basically a new law that exists everywhere. It's impossible for you to sense its existence with your current level of cultivation."
"It's also because of the existence of the power of the curse that I'm unable to leave this place. Even the former territory of my master, the Saint of Grand Clarity, has been severely damaged. The World of Grand Clarity is the current World of Moon and Star. "
The old man said slowly.
"So the World of Moon and Star used to be called the World of Grand Clarity. Oh right, since the mist is the power of the Primeval Divine Hall and you're the Artifact Spirit of the Primeval Divine Hall, it means that the mist must be under your control. I've only come here because of your guidance. May I ask why you've brought me here? "Jianchen asked.
"Because I can sense a droplet of essence blood from a Saint in your body. Most importantly, there's yin and yang Qi in your body like mine. It's exactly because of the yin and yang Qi that I've brought you here, "the Artifact Spirit said.
"The essence blood of a Saint? Is this the essence blood of a Saint you speak of? " Jian Chen was doubtful. He used his finger to point at the location where the droplet of essence blood was.
"That's right. That's the essence blood of a Saint. In my master's era, the owner of this drop of blood essence was the most powerful Saint in the world. Of course, in your epoch, Saints might have another name, "said the Artifact Spirit of the Primeval Divine Hall.
Jianchen finally understood with that. Saints were actually Grand Exalts.
"The curse of the Daoyi Saint is nowhere near as powerful as it was in the past after two epochs. However, if you want to remove the curse and restore my freedom, you still need ten droplets of essence blood. If you can bring me ten droplets of essence blood and restore my freedom, I'll offer up a strand of Primeval Qi. "
"The Absolute Beginning Qi is a kind of energy that is born together with the Primal Chaos. Although it is inferior to the Primal Chaos Force in terms of level and is on the same level as your Yin and Yang Qi, it contains its own profoundness. I believe that all of you are well aware of just how beneficial it is to all of you."
"Not only is it not a loss for you to exchange for ten droplets of essence blood, but it's also a great fortune," said the Artifact Spirit. Only the sword spirits who existed like him were truly worthy of his attention. He did not place any importance on Jianchen at all.
Even though Jianchen possessed a droplet of essence blood, he knew that Jianchen had only obtained it by chance. He only possessed a single droplet.
As for a drop of a Saint's Blood Essence that had lost quite a bit of its power, it wasn't of much use to him.
As soon as the sword spirits heard that the Artifact Spirit was offering a strand of Primeval Qi as a reward, their eyes burned with desire.
However, they calmed down again very soon. The desire in their eyes vanished, and they became filled with pity. They sighed gently, "Ten droplets of essence blood from Grand Exalts. That's just far too difficult. After all, essence blood is different from regular blood."
"Let alone essence blood, even regular blood from Grand Exalts is basically impossible to obtain unless we return to the time when our old master reigned supreme," Qing Suo sighed as well.
