Ao Jiao smiled mischievously and said, "This is called a long story. Let me explain it to you in detail. I will only say it once. If you do not understand, then don't ask."
Ao Jiao said she would only say it once, so she would really only say it once. Xiao Chen could not do anything to her; he could only perk up his ears and listen carefully.
"The materials and methods used to forge the Lunar Shadow Saber are the best. However, the conditions for a Weapon Spirit are too harsh. I originally thought that it would be impossible for the Lunar Shadow Saber to form its own Weapon Spirit, so I sealed myself in it.
"However, things surpassed my expectations. While I was asleep, the Weapon Spirit in this Lunar Shadow Saber started to slowly form. It has been in a state of coexistence with me."
"At that time, although I had sealed myself, I could split out some energy to suppress her, not letting her take the initiative. However, after she forcefully woke me up, I exhausted too much energy and fell into a deep sleep. In an instant, she took the initiative.
"If it were not for the battle between you and her exhausting too much energy, it would have taken me a long time to wake up."
Xiao Chen suddenly understood. So that was the case. He had always found it strange. With Ao Jiao's strength, how could another Weapon Spirit take over the Lunar Shadow Saber's saber soul?
"Then why does she not recognize me as her master? Furthermore, she seems to be hostile towards me."
Ao Jiao explained, "All Weapon Spirits are like this. This is the Weapon Spirit's way of protecting itself. When I was first born, I was unhappy with the Thunder King. If you were not strong enough, why would a Weapon Spirit recognize you as its master?
"However, once a Weapon Spirit recognizes a master, it will be loyal for life and will never betray you."
Xiao Chen said doubtfully, "In that case, what is your relationship with me now? You are much stronger than me. Doesn't that mean I will not be able to let you make decisions for a long time?"
Ao Jiao smiled and said, "Yes, so stupid master, you should quickly become stronger. If you can't even protect me, how can you be my master?"
Xiao Chen was speechless. Based on the strength that Ao Jiao displayed, she was at least a Superior Grade Martial Monarch. Xiao Chen did not know when he would be able to reach that level.
Looking at Xiao Chen's pondering expression, Ao Jiao giggled and said, "Get up, stupid master. Don't think too much about it. I will first merge my saber soul with the Lunar Shadow Saber in your hand. Then, you will be able to enter the state of Listening to the Sword and Communicating With It. "
Xiao Chen got up and looked at the Lunar Shadow Saber in Ao Jiao's hand. He asked in disbelief, "It's that simple?"
Back then, for Xiao Chen to grasp Listening to the Sword and Communicating With It, she had put in a lot of effort. However, she had not succeeded. In the end, she could only touch the edges and was unable to enter the next level.
Ao Jiao smiled and said, "That girl's method was correct. However, she did not take into account that there was another Weapon Spirit in your saber. The Weapon Spirit has an innate ability to protect itself and rejected your call. Hence, you have not been able to enter the next level."
No wonder Xiao Chen kept feeling like he was pacing back and forth outside the door to Listening to the Sword and Communicating With It. However, he could not push the door open. It turned out that this door was blocked by someone else.
"Hu chi!"
Ao Jiao raised her hand and fired. The slender Lunar Shadow Saber soared into the boundless sky. Spots of purple light surrounded it. Under the illumination of the moonlight, it looked very beautiful.
The saber flew higher and higher. Soon, Xiao Chen could only see a blurry black figure.
Xiao Chen looked up and asked, "Where is this flying to? How are we going to merge it?"
Ao Jiao said, "Of course, it is flying to the real world. Otherwise, why do you think we are merging it in the space within the Lunar Shadow Saber? Alright, when you get out, you will understand immediately. Now, it is time for you to tell me about the Massacre Throne."
Xiao Chen withdrew his gaze and thought for a while. He decided to tell the truth. There was no need to hide these things from Ao Jiao.
After Xiao Chen told her everything that happened in the Ink Forest, he asked, "Ao Jiao, is there anything wrong with this scarlet throne?"
After Ao Jiao heard everything, she thought for a while before answering, "There is nothing wrong with it. The scarlet throne was personally refined by the ancient Evil King. However, before he was killed, he split the throne into six.
"Each throne represents a will. They are the will of massacre, the will of destruction, the will of destruction, the will of rage, the will of berserk, and the will of death. According to rumor, when the six thrones merge together, the ancient Evil King will rule the world once again."
Xiao Chen muttered, "Are you saying that there are five other thrones? I only obtained one? In that case, what should I do if I run into someone else with a throne?"
Ao Jiao nodded and said, "That is the crux of the problem. As long as two cultivators with thrones are within five hundred kilometers of each other, they will be able to sense each other's presence. The thrones are originally one, so they can swallow each other up. After swallowing, the might of the throne will increase greatly."
Without needing Ao Jiao to explain, Xiao Chen already knew how much the swallowing of a throne would increase its strength. Each throne represented a state. Grasping two high-leveled states at the same time, the might of the throne went without saying.
Xiao Chen did not fear competition from others. However, he was worried about what Ao Jiao said about the throne merging and the Evil King's rebirth. He felt that it was strange.
"How reliable are the rumors? It has already been thirty thousand years since the people of the Ancient Era. Could they have returned?" Xiao Chen asked doubtfully.
The Tianwu Dynasty had existed for twenty thousand years. It was destroyed ten thousand years ago, resulting in the current situation of the Great Jin Nation dominating the continent.
Before the Tianwu Dynasty, there was a chaotic period. There were no detailed records of it in the history books. The period before the chaotic period was the true Ancient Era.
It was hard to imagine. After thirty thousand years, even the sea could turn into mulberry fields. Could humans still be revived?
Ao Jiao said, "The rumors are still credible. However, you don't have to worry too much. In the past ten thousand years, I have never heard of six thrones appearing at the same time. It is impossible for it to happen to you so coincidentally."
"Rumble …!"
Rumbling sounds appeared in the sky. Xiao Chen looked up and saw that the Lunar Shadow Saber had already flown to the edge of space. It was continuously breaking through the barriers of space.
Ao Jiao said softly, "The Lunar Shadow Saber's Saber Soul is coming out soon. You have to go as well. After you go out, remember to comprehend Listening to the Sword and Communicating With It properly. This is just getting you started."
Xiao Chen felt that there were still many things he had not said. He quickly thought about it and said the most important thing, "In that case, can I wake you up at any time in the future?"
Ao Jiao shook her head and said, "That won't do. I have to take this opportunity to swallow up the White Robed Weapon Spirit to prevent any future problems. Don't forget, my goal is to forge a Sub-Divine Weapon. Right now, it is far from enough."
In the real world, in the dueling grounds, the saber formation did not stop shaking at all.
The Lunar Shadow Saber beside Xiao Chen's hand leaped up and struggled free of its scabbard. With a 'sou' sound, it flew into the air and floated quietly a hundred meters above Xiao Chen's head. It gave off a bright light and looked very beautiful.
Liu Suifeng asked in astonishment, "Sis, what's going on? Why did the Lunar Shadow Saber fly out by itself?"
Liu Ruyue revealed a suspicious expression as well. She shook her head and said, "I am not sure either. However, I feel that this should be a good thing and not a bad thing. I can feel that the Lunar Shadow Saber has a faint excitement, like it is anticipating something."
As the two of them spoke, a beam of light leaped out from Xiao Chen's head. Then, it flew into the Lunar Shadow Saber at lightning speed.
"Xiu!"
Xiao Chen suddenly opened his eyes and leaped up. His body was like a flood dragon as he grabbed the hilt of the Lunar Shadow Saber.
"Listening to the Sword and Communicating With It!" Xiao Chen shouted and brandished his saber. The snow-white blade of the Lunar Shadow Saber immediately gave off a drawn-out hum.
The blade of the saber trembled uncontrollably. There was a flash of light and the snow-white blade turned pitch-black once again. It had actually advanced from an Earth Ranked Spirit Weapon to an Inferior Grade Heaven Ranked Spirit Weapon.
Xiao Chen held the Lunar Shadow Saber and landed on the ground. He revealed a joyful expression; the Lunar Shadow Saber finally gave off a sound that belonged to it.
He did not expect that after using Listening to the Sword and Communicating With It, the Lunar Shadow Saber's Spirit Weapon rank would actually recover to its original state.
"Hu chi!"
Xiao Chen moved his wrist gently and circulated the Essence in his body. A strong force immediately came from the sharp blade.
A strand of extremely dense purple saber Qi broke through the blade and created ripples in the air. When it landed, it left behind a long mark.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" After the saber Qi stopped, the ground beside the mark immediately flew up and exploded into powder in the air.
Liu Suifeng said in astonishment, "What a strong might! Is this the original strength of the Lunar Shadow Saber? It seems to be much stronger than a regular Heaven Ranked Spirit Weapon. All it took was a casual wave. "
Xiao Chen casually waved his hand and the scabbard in the saber formation appeared in his hand. He gently dispersed the state of Listening to the Sword and Communicating With It. The pitch-black blade immediately turned snow-white once again, returning to being an Earth Ranked Spirit Weapon.
Xiao Chen had just comprehended Listening to the Sword and Communicating With It; he could not maintain this state for a long time. However, after he started, he believed that he would improve very quickly in the future.
Xiao Chen sheathed his saber and looked at Liu Ruyue, who was walking over with a smile. He said sincerely, "Ruyue, thank you."
Liu Ruyue felt happy for Xiao Chen. She said seriously, "Congratulations, you finally grasped Listening to the Sword and Communicating With It."
Qingyun Peak, Xiao Chen was in his independent courtyard. A cool breeze blew through the courtyard, lifting up the fallen leaves.
Xiao Chen had his eyes closed and was in a mysterious state. His expression was calm as he placed his right hand on the saber hilt. He did not care about his aura.
He allowed his aura and the cool breeze in the courtyard to fluctuate as they pleased, rising and falling, rising and falling, appearing very casual.
Suddenly, Xiao Chen opened his eyes and a bright light shot out from them. It was like a sharp saber piercing through everything in front of him.
"Ka ca!"
The Lunar Shadow Saber was instantly drawn and Listening to the Sword and Communicating With It was executed. The snow-white blade immediately turned pitch-black. This was a characteristic of a Heaven Ranked Spirit Weapon; it was automatic.
The instant the Lunar Shadow Saber was drawn, there was no circulation of Essence. A long strand of saber Qi automatically flowed out from the sharp blade. With a 'sou' sound, it shattered several fallen leaves in the cool breeze.
Listening to the Sword and Communicating With It had a total of four realms: Listening to the Sword, Controlling the Sword, Sword Heart, and Communicating With It. Xiao Chen was still at the Listening to the Sword realm.
This allowed him to thoroughly understand his own weapon. This feeling was very wondrous. When Xiao Chen held the Lunar Shadow Saber in his hand, he felt that the Lunar Shadow Saber was like an extension of his arm.
