A figure stood quietly in the void of the universe. A powerful aura emanated from him, rippling like water. It was clear that he was not calm at all.
Yes, at this moment, Chen Zong's heart could not calm down at all.
His emotions were surging!
Firstly, he was shocked by the identity of the Sword Sharpening Mountain Lord. It was as if he had been plotting for a million years, and he had coincidentally obtained the inheritance of the Sword Sharpening Mountain. It was an opportunity, but it was also a fatal factor.
Secondly, he was shocked by the Sword Sharpening Mountain Lord's ruthless methods and superb swordsmanship, as well as his supreme realm of swordsmanship.
Thirdly, Chen Zong was concerned about his own safety.
The black mark was still in his Spirit Sea. The Sword Sharpening Mountain Lord's spirit was hidden in the black mark, but he could not sense it.
This time, the Sword Sharpening Mountain Lord's spirit was impacted by the Sword Sharpening Mountain Lord's use of the Devil Sword Technique and the Eternal Night. His consciousness had awakened, and with the sudden resistance of the Heavenly Will Sword, the Sword Sharpening Mountain Lord seemed to feel that the time was not right. That was why he had fallen silent and allowed Chen Zong to take back his body.
The so-called 'time was not right' was not Chen Zong's guess. It was what the Sword Sharpening Mountain Lord had said in the playback of the Heavenly Will Sword.
Did the Sword Sharpening Mountain Lord know the ability of the Heavenly Will Sword?
He probably did not know.
After all, ever since the Sword Sharpening Mountain Lord occupied Chen Zong's body, the Heavenly Will Sword had behaved normally and did not resist at all. It was only when it sensed that Chen Zong's consciousness had awakened that it cooperated with Chen Zong's consciousness to fight against the Sword Sharpening Mountain Lord, and finally took back Chen Zong's body.
Putting everything else aside, the Sword Sharpening Mountain Lord's spirit was now a great threat.
From now on, would he not use the Divine Advent Secret Technique?
Could he do it?
Yes, Chen Zong believed that he could do it. After all, his consciousness had fallen and his body had been occupied by the Sword Sharpening Mountain Lord because of the Divine Advent Secret Technique.
But was that really the case?
Was it true that as long as he did not use the Divine Advent Secret Technique, the previous situation would not happen again?
No, Chen Zong did not dare to make any promises, not at all. It had nothing to do with intuition or perception.
Thinking about it, a Sword Principle expert from a million years ago was at the level of a top Sword Saint, a transcendent existence who had mastered the Supreme Realm of Sword Principle. His spirit was hiding in his own Spirit Sea, perhaps watching his every move, waiting for the so-called opportunity to come, and then reappear in the world.
In that case, how could he appear in the world?
Naturally, it would take over his body like before. What should he do then?
Resist?
That was for sure. However, Chen Zong really didn't have much confidence.
Because he wasn't sure when the so-called opportunity would arrive.
One year? Two years? Ten years? A hundred years?
It was full of unknowns.
Chen Zong did not like the feeling of being full of the unknown. It was full of uncertainty and variables. In fact, it should be said that no one liked the feeling of being full of variables, especially not good variables, but bad ones. At least that was the case for now.
His body belonged to him and would not be taken away by others. However, Chen Zong could not help but recall that ever since he embarked on the path of cultivation, he seemed to have encountered many cases of possession. Fortunately, his luck was not bad and his ability was not bad. Just now, he was able to overcome the crisis time and time again, turning danger into safety.
However, Chen Zong would not be so complacent that he would think that all the possession would not endanger him. In fact, it was precisely because of his experience.
After the possession, Chen Zong was more aware of the dangers.
And this time, the one who wanted to possess him was the Ultimate Master who stood at the peak of the universe a million years ago.
It meant that he seemed to have fought with the Ultimate Master of that generation after a million years.
If it was any other confrontation, Chen Zong would feel very good, but a confrontation with his own body as a stake was not a good feeling.
A hidden danger!
In his body, there was a great hidden danger that could erupt at any time.
Could he let such a hidden danger continue to exist?
No!
No matter who it was, they would choose to do so.
Then, how could he get rid of the hidden danger?
This was what Chen Zong had to think about.
No matter what, even if he had to pay a certain price, Chen Zong would not allow such a hidden danger to continue to exist in his body. It could erupt at any time and then take over his body.
Get rid of the hidden danger!
Just like the Inner Demon of the past, he had done everything possible to deal with it and finally sealed it with the help of Senior Devil Heart.
However, the Inner Demon paled in comparison to the current Spirit of the Sword Sharpening Mountain Master. It was not as dangerous as the Inner Demon.
In short, among all the dangers he had encountered, the Spirit of the Sword Sharpening Mountain Master was definitely at the top of the list.
What was a peerless Ultimate Master from a million years ago planning?
And he seemed to be lucky, but in fact, unlucky to be chosen.
This time, how could he get rid of the hidden danger of the Sword Sharpening Mountain Master?
Seal!
The first thing that came to Chen Zong's mind was to seal the black mark. In this way, he would also seal the Spirit of the Sword Sharpening Mountain Master that was staying in the black mark.
However, could he do it with his half-baked Way of Sealing?
He was not sure how old Chen Zong was.
However, he had to give it a try.
However, other than that, they had to consider other paths. What if the seal failed? What should they do?
Then, he would seal it first.
Without hesitation, Chen Zong immediately mobilized his own power and combined it with his essence, energy, and spirit that had been raised to the peak of the Emperor level. He immediately constructed the power of the Sealing Technique in his Deity Ocean.
The essence, energy, and spirit of the peak of the Emperor level were enough for Chen Zong to lock the black mark in his Deity Ocean.
The Deity Sea was as vast as the universe. Chen Zong's consciousness condensed. It was incomparably clear, as if it was corporeal. Immediately, his hands moved together, drawing out many mysterious trajectories. It was as if he was using his fingers as a brush and the void as a canvas, outlining an incomparably ancient character.
Seal!
One of them carried Chen Zong's tyrannical essence, energy, and spirit power, while the other emitted an ancient and profound character. They suddenly condensed and headed toward the black mark. They landed directly on the black mark as if they were branding it. Then, as a bright light burst out, the Sealing Technique character that was flickering with golden light rippled like water, spreading out and covering the black mark.
As the golden light spread out, the Sealing Technique character fluctuated incessantly.
The black mark was sealed, but it did not move at all, as if it would not resist. Chen Zong's consciousness stared at the black mark for a moment. Indeed, the black mark did not move at all, as if it did not feel anything.
However, Chen Zong was still not at ease.
After all, the Spirit of the Sword Sharpening Mountain Master was staying in the black mark. Would he be willing to be sealed just like that?
There was only one explanation, and that was …
At this moment, the Spirit of the Sword Sharpening Mountain Master was not awake.
Chen Zong could not help but speculate that the Spirit of the Sword Sharpening Mountain Master might be in a deep sleep in the black mark if he did not use the God's Arrival Secret Technique.
If that was the case, then everything that happened in the past and the success of the seal now could be explained reasonably.
Even so, Chen Zong was still not completely at ease.
He maintained a trace of vigilance against the black mark. Chen Zong's consciousness dispersed and returned to his body.
"From now on, I can't use the power of the black mark anymore," Chen Zong said to himself. He made up his mind and immediately carried it out.
Of course, the black mark did bring him great benefits, such as the inheritance of the Fiendgod Sword Manual, the feedback of a wisp of extremely pure energy after devouring the Spirit, and the enhancement of his essence, energy, and spirit. However, the drawbacks were even greater.
Now, Chen Zong also understood why the black mark wanted to devour the Spirit. It was probably to serve the Spirit of the Sword Sharpening Mountain Master. The Spirit of the Spirit that it devoured was completely devoured by the Spirit of the Sword Sharpening Mountain Master to recover.
As for the feedback of a wisp of pure energy to enhance his essence, energy, and spirit, Chen Zong speculated that there were two reasons. One reason was that Chen Zong was 100% sure that it was for his own benefit.
As the saying goes, if you want a horse to run, you have to feed it grass.
This analogy was very common, but the principle was the same. The reason why the black mark gave him a wisp of pure energy to enhance his essence, energy, and spirit was for his own benefit. If he benefited from it, he would be willing to activate the black mark to devour more Spirits.
To a certain extent, it was like he was an accomplice.
As for the second conjecture, or guess, Chen Zong was not sure if it was true.
The second conjecture was that the purpose of the black mark or the Mountain Master of the Sword Sharpening Mountain Master was to strengthen his essence, energy, and spirit. Only when it had grown to a certain extent could it bear the Spirit of the Sword Sharpening Mountain Master and occupy his body.
Of course, to be honest, Chen Zong himself was not very clear about the mystery behind it. It was just a conjecture, but Chen Zong felt that it was somewhat possible.
As for the third conjecture, there was no answer. At least, Chen Zong could not think of it now.
However, from now on, the black mark was sealed, and he decided not to use the power of the black mark anymore. Naturally, he would not let the black mark devour the Spirit of the Sword Sharpening Mountain Master lurking in the black mark to enhance its power.
However, Chen Zong also knew that this was not a fundamental solution, but a temporary solution. He had to really get rid of this hidden danger.
However, Chen Zong had no idea how to get rid of it at the moment.
If he tried it recklessly, it might lead to unpredictable consequences.
Chen Zong was not an indecisive person, but this time, he had to be very careful.
However, now that the black mark was sealed, there was no threat for the time being. He should be able to reduce the risk by not using the black mark again. Now, with his essence, energy, and spirit at the peak of the Emperor Realm and his cultivation at the Profound Success of the Emperor Realm, plus his extraordinary swordsmanship, there should be very few people in the Emperor Realm who could be his enemy.
Even if it was a Half-saint, Chen Zong thought that he had the ability to fight with him.
In this case, there was no need to use the Divine Arrival Secret Method to borrow the power of the black mark. In other words, what he was borrowing was not the power of the black mark, but the power of the Mountain Master of the Sword Sharpening Mountain.
Since he had made a decision and made some countermeasures, Chen Zong was temporarily relieved, but he did not really relax.
His figure flashed, and once again, he rolled up a sword light and flew away.
The Fire of Taihao Spirit was still burning.
