He shook his head forcefully. His rationality told him that it was all an illusion and not real. However, emotionally, he was very willing to accept the illusion from before. For a moment, his brain became a little chaotic.
"If there was a person who suddenly obtained an incomparably powerful force, and now, two things have appeared in front of him at the same time. One is that his beloved woman has been captured by the enemy and is waiting for him to rescue her. The other is that his most terrifying enemy has a flaw, a flaw that will only appear once, and he has a chance to kill the enemy. So, if it were you, which one would you choose to do? "A cold and emotionless voice suddenly appeared in the darkness.
Qi Yue felt the darkness around him and said calmly, "I would save my beloved woman."
"Then, if you know that you won't be able to kill the enemy if you save your beloved woman, and that you and your woman will likely be killed by him, will you still choose to do so?"
Qi Yue said without hesitation, "I will."
"Tell me why?" The cold voice seemed a little surprised.
Qi Yue said indifferently, "There is no why. The reason why I choose the lesser of two evils is very simple."
"Please explain. If you killed your enemy at that time, then you won't have to die. If that's the case, then it should be the lesser of two evils."
Qi Yue smiled indifferently. "No, you're wrong. It's just that we have a different way of understanding it. It's actually very simple. If the woman I love is dead, then what's the point of me living? I will definitely die, even if I kill the enemy. After my beloved woman is captured, if I can save her in time, at least we can see each other one last time and spend more time together. Even if I am killed by the enemy later, we can still be together for a longer time. In that case, do I still have a choice? "
The voice fell into a pause. "I think you should have already guessed what I represent."
Qi Yue said, "The Xuanyuan Sword."
"That's right, I'm the Xuanyuan Sword. From my test on you, I can see that you're a very emotional person. To put it nicely, you're very emotional. To put it bluntly, you're not calm enough, and you're even stupid. Do you think that a person like you can be the true master of the Xuanyuan Sword?"
Qi Yue smiled indifferently and said, "If you think so, I have nothing to say."
The Xuanyuan Sword said coldly, "I will give you one more chance. After all, it was not easy for you to pass this stage. Although you failed the previous test and were not calm, I am still willing to give you one last chance. Now, I will give you three choices. First, give up everything you have before and stay in the era of the ancient beasts. I can consider giving you the ability of the Xuanyuan Sword to help you tidy up this era. Second, kill Huang Emperor and you can also get me. This means that you have enough rationality. Huang Emperor is already dead. Even if his soul is still alive, it will stay in the Xuanyuan Tomb forever. Since your new sword soul is about to be born, then he must die. The third choice is the simplest. I can still give you the Xuanyuan Sword, but the requirement is to deprive the source of the nature and give you the extra life. Now, you can choose one of these three. You must understand that the Xuanyuan Sword can give you a powerful attack that no other artifact has. With the Xuanyuan Sword, as your strength increases and your own Kirin's bloodline, you will definitely become the strongest person in this world in the near future. I will now give you three choices. As long as you choose one, you can have it. I will give you ten seconds to think about it. After ten seconds, give me a definite answer. "
Qi Yue smiled. "I don't need ten seconds. I will answer you now. I choose the fourth one."
"There is no fourth one." The Xuanyuan Sword reprimanded him bluntly.
Qi Yue replied, "Who says there isn't? The fourth condition is that I can't obtain you. Isn't that solved? Xuanyuan Sword, yes, I really want to obtain you and possess your powerful attack power. However, obtaining you doesn't mean everything. Compared to obtaining you, the conditions you have proposed are things that I cannot afford to lose. Therefore, I don't even need to think about it. I can give you my answer now."
"Are you really not willing to think about it? The Xuanyuan Sword is the most powerful of the ten ancient artifacts. At the same time, with the Xuanyuan Sword, you can command all the humans in this era to listen to your command. You can become an emperor like Huang Emperor, or even surpass him. You can lead the human race to achieve immortal achievements. You can become an expert respected by the future generations. Even all the women in this era can become your woman. Are you not willing to become a hero who changes history? Even if you are willing to go back to your era, you can choose the second option. You can still obtain my ability. "
Qi Yue smiled and shook his head. "The fourth option."
With a flash of light, Huang Emperor suddenly appeared in this endless darkness. Under the illumination of the golden light on his body, everything around him suddenly became bright. "Idiot, hurry up and agree. So what if I die? For the sake of the entire human race, it's worth it even if my soul is shattered. You idiot, if you still recognize me as your master, hurry up and agree. This is your only chance!"
Looking at the emperor who suddenly appeared, Qi Yue said stubbornly, "Master, will you be happy if I agree? However, there is one thing that I am different from you. Perhaps, you can sacrifice anything for the sake of humanity, but I am different. The Xuanyuan Sword is right. I am a very emotional person. Perhaps, you can say that I am short-sighted, but I will never give up what originally belongs to me for the sake of obtaining great power. You are my master. If I kill you, even if I obtain the entire world, I will not be happy. Although the Xuanyuan Sword is powerful, I would rather not have it. I would rather rely on my own hard work to continuously improve my strength. I will never give up on you and change my own ideals because of him. "These last words were said resolutely and without any room for negotiation.
Huang Emperor's figure disappeared. The cold voice of the Xuanyuan Sword appeared again. "Then, what if I tell you that if you don't choose one of these three options, you will stay in this darkness forever?"
Qi Yue was stunned and said, "You're trying to scare me!"
The Xuanyuan Sword laughed and said coldly, "Do you think I'm scaring you?"
Qi Yue also laughed, "If I don't agree to your conditions and you want to kill me, then it won't be the Xuanyuan Sword, but the Xuanyuan Demon Sword. If you want to become the Demon Sword, then I can't do anything about it."
The Xuanyuan Sword coldly snorted and said, "So, you're saying that you don't intend to change your mind?"
Qi Yue smiled indifferently and said, "That's right. Even if I can't obtain the Xuanyuan Sword, you won't kill me. I am confident of this."
The Xuanyuan Sword didn't say anything else. The dark space that Qi Yue was in suddenly changed. The surroundings suddenly lit up, allowing Qi Yue to see his own body. The light became stronger and stronger. The originally dark space became golden.
Qi Yue's heart trembled. He thought to himself, "Does this Xuanyuan Sword really want to kill me? No, it can't be. Since it is an ancient artifact, and it has Huang Emperor as its soul, why would it do such a thing? " "Didn't Huang Emperor say that the Xuanyuan Sword represents courage, wisdom, and benevolence?" "No matter how you look at it, it can't kill me."
Thinking of this, Qi Yue sat cross-legged in this empty space. He used his own Thundercloud Force to block his vision so that the golden light wouldn't irritate his eyes. At the same time, he spread the Thundercloud Force around his body and actually began to cultivate.
A huge pressure appeared without warning. It launched an endless attack on Qi Yue's body like waves. Qi Yue's decision to block his vision was undoubtedly very smart. If he opened his eyes now, he would definitely see countless sword souls of the Xuanyuan Sword attacking his body.
However, although he could not see everything around him, the huge pressure still slowly suppressed the Thundercloud Force in his body. Even his bones began to creak. His body felt like it was on fire. The intense pain passed through his skin, meridians, bones, muscles, and almost everywhere into the reflex area of his brain. Qi Yue gritted his teeth and endured it, not letting himself cry out in pain.
The pressure of the surrounding energy became stronger and stronger. After all, Qi Yue's body had been transformed by the Source of Nature. Although his body had begun to distort under the huge pressure, he still showed no signs of collapse. His jade-like bones and meridians were extremely tough. Although the external pressure was getting stronger, Qi Yue's resistance was also getting stronger. Anyway, he did not think of fighting back, so he simply spread his Thundercloud Force to every meridian and bone in his body, allowing the external energy to constantly impact his body.
At this moment, Qi Yue suddenly recalled a novel he had read in the past. It was written by a famous author in his era. He still remembered that there was such a phrase in that novel: Let him be strong, let him be strong; the cool breeze supports the mountain ridge. The burden in his heart was instantly lifted. He forcefully merged his mental strength into his mind and stopped it from spreading outwards. At the same time, he used his body to feel everything around him. Although this was a space of nothingness, since space existed, it had a carrier. Qi Yue's heart was very calm. All the pain seemed to no longer be important at this moment. Just like when he felt the vitality of nature, he felt the impact of the surrounding energy on him. The energy no longer seemed to be an offensive force, but a part of this world. And he was also a part of this space!
In this space of nothingness, Qi Yue's body gradually changed. In the beginning, his body was like a small boat under the impact of the surging energy, up and down, rolling in the constant impact. Gradually, his body became slower in the energy fluctuations. As the energy surged, this space had no boundaries, and the impact of the energy always had a certain pattern and direction. His body moved accordingly. In this case, the energy attacking his body could no longer bring him any harm. At the same time, his originally dim body gradually changed.
A layer of golden light appeared on Qi Yue's skin, just like the surrounding golden space. At this moment, he no longer looked like a person, but like a wave of energy in this space, moving along with the energy fluctuations.
Qi Yue's mind was completely immersed in this space, forgetting about the attack and forgetting about his own life and death. At this moment, he had completely integrated into this space, becoming an important part of this space.
A faint light and shadow lit up in the space, and Huang Emperor appeared out of thin air, floating in the air. At the same time, a sword appeared, the Xuanyuan sword.
Huang Emperor revealed a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, "It's time to end it."
A somewhat unwilling voice came from the Xuanyuan sword, "This, how is this possible? This is completely different from what should have happened! He doesn't belong to this era, it's impossible for him to be my controller. "
Huang Emperor took a deep look at the Xuanyuan sword, and smiled, "This child just told me that in this world, nothing is impossible. Did you not see it? He has already entered the realm of being one with the world, and the requirement for your last checkpoint is also to be one with the world. To be able to integrate into this space so quickly, even the me back then was far inferior."
The Xuanyuan sword's voice sounded a little strange, "But, back then, you were the true chosen one, and he was just an accident."
Huang Emperor said indifferently, "Even if it was an accident, so what? Can you be sure that this isn't the result of heaven's arrangement? Can you be sure that he can't be your master? Everything he has done, I believe you have seen it. "
The Xuanyuan sword said with some unwillingness, "That's right, he has enough courage, and is unyielding. In the face of the threat of death, the first thing he thought of was his lover. In terms of courage, he is impeccable. He can be so calm in the face of death, what else in this world can make him afraid? However, in addition to being mighty, to become my master, he must have wisdom and a heart of benevolence. I don't think his wisdom is that great. This idiot, on such an easy choice, he is as stubborn as a stone in a latrine pit. Could it be that I am not attractive to this guy at all? "
Huang Emperor laughed, "No, it's not that you are not attractive to him, it's that the question you asked, to him, is useless! In his heart, although you are very attractive, compared to you, there are many other things that are more important. If you say that he is not intelligent, then you are even worse. He can judge that you will never kill him, even if you are a little less intelligent, you can barely pass the test. As for benevolence? I can't say for sure, it depends on your own judgment. Now that he has passed the test of the Oneness of Heaven and Men, he was able to withstand the huge pressure and completely integrated into this space. Now the choice is in front of you, choose him, or let him leave. After all, he is not the one destined for you. You still have a choice. Even if you choose to let him leave, he has no regrets. At least, after going through your test, his spiritual force and willpower have been greatly improved. However, this child is indeed a little too emotional, first of all, it is shown in the words of killing and love. However, he also has a heart of justice, so I am not worried. Well, quickly give me a choice, it's time for him to leave. "
After listening to Huang Emperor's words, Xuanyuan Jian fell into silence. He was thinking deeply. Since Qi Yue entered the illusion of Xuanyuan, everything that had happened kept flowing in his mind.
After a long time, Xuanyuan Jian let out a long sigh, "From a rational point of view, I really shouldn't choose him. He is not the one destined for me. At the same time, I don't like his character very much. This kid is a little too self-righteous."
Huang Emperor did not say anything, he just looked at Xuanyuan Jian with a smile.
Xuanyuan Jian continued, "However, after all, I have stayed in this place for too long. This kid can be considered as barely qualified. If I let him go, I don't know how many years I will have to stay here. Thinking about it, it's not a bad idea. After all, this kid still has the blood of Kirin. Following him is not a disgrace to me. However, I will not help him in any way, unless his strength is sufficient. Otherwise, I will not let him use my power for no reason."
Huang Emperor smiled and said, "So, you are ready to make the emotional choice."
Xuanyuan Jian snorted and said, "I hope my choice is not wrong. Huang Emperor, Xuanyuan's grave is in your hands."
Huang Emperor smiled and said, "We are also old friends, why do you have to say this? Alright, it's time to end it. "
In Xuanyuan's grave, Qi Yue was still standing there, both hands holding the huge hilt of Xuanyuan Jian. At this time, his body was releasing the same golden luster as Xuanyuan Jian, and the hilt of Xuanyuan Jian had turned from black to gold. The mysterious small characters on the hilt of the sword were now in a state of energy in the air, revolving slowly around Qi Yue's body. Circles of golden halos were constantly emitted from Qi Yue and Xuanyuan Jian.
Suddenly, Qi Yue's body trembled slightly. Then, in between his eyebrows, a golden light suddenly lit up, and a drop of blood slowly dripped down from between his eyebrows, right onto the huge hilt of Xuanyuan Jian.
As if waking up from a distant dream, Qi Yue slowly opened his eyes. His gaze seemed solid, and two golden rays shot out like lightning, just like the light from Huang Emperor's eyes when he saw Huang Emperor for the first time. At this moment, he no longer looked like a ruffian, but was full of the aura of a king like Huang Emperor. Standing there, he looked like a king who could control everything, and the golden light in his eyes seemed to overlook every corner of this space.
He slowly raised his hands, and a loud buzzing sound that was countless times clearer than a dragon's roar sounded from the point where the Xuanyuan Jian and the hilt of the sword were connected. A dazzling golden light overflowed from the gap that suddenly appeared, and everything around it seemed to be eclipsed by this golden light. The sword was slowly pulled out by Qi Yue centimeter by centimeter, and the golden light also became more and more intense.
In Xuanyuan's grave, the originally bright sky gradually darkened, just like the night of other people. In this dark sky, countless stars appeared around a golden moon, shining brightly with the rising golden sun on the other side.
In the distance, there seemed to be countless majestic mountains, and countless plants seemed to be growing vigorously on those mountains. The hurried sound of flowing water brought vitality to this originally silent world.
Qi Yue's seemingly solid gaze fell on the body of the Xuanyuan Jian. The dazzling golden light on the sword did not seem to affect his vision at all. He murmured, "One side is carved with the sun, moon, and stars, and the other side is carved with the mountains, rivers, and plants. The Xuanyuan Jian! Do you actually represent the entire world? "
As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Yue suddenly swung his hands. With a clear buzzing sound, the two-meter-long Xuanyuan Jian was unsheathed and appeared in Qi Yue's hands out of thin air.
With both hands tightly on the hilt of the sword, Qi Yue's eyes were filled with a strange light. As he looked at the huge sword, all kinds of wonderful feelings continuously rose from every cell in his body. The Xuanyuan Jian shone with a strange light, and it shone on Qi Yue's body.
A clear buzzing sound rang out along with the sword. "Master, from now on until your death, Xuanyuan Jian will always protect you, and become your most beneficial arm."
Qi Yue smiled faintly. "I will also always protect you, and not let your Xuanyuan Jian suffer even the slightest bit of humiliation."
A golden light shot out from between Qi Yue's eyebrows. Immediately after, the light of the Xuanyuan Jian suddenly weakened. The huge scabbard struggled out of the stone and merged with the sword. With a flash of light, it had already entered Qi Yue's body from between his eyebrows. At this moment, the ground under Qi Yue's feet shook violently, and shocking cracks appeared on the seemingly sturdy white jade platform.
With a slight thought, Qi Yue's body floated up. Until now, his spirit had not completely awakened from the illusion of the Xuanyuan Jian. He listened to the loud rumbling sound under his feet, and watched as the 100-meter-long white jade stairs gradually disappeared. Mountains, rivers, and the sun, moon, and stars in the sky became increasingly bright.
Was all of this real? I, I have really obtained the Xuanyuan Jian, one of the Ten Great Ancient Artifacts? Qi Yue's heart was filled with doubts, and his brain was also in the process of gradually waking up.
"Yes, my child, you have truly obtained the Xuanyuan Jian. This is something that even I did not expect." With a flash of light, Huang Emperor had already appeared beside Qi Yue out of thin air, and was looking at him with a smile.
"Master, what is going on?" When Qi Yue saw Huang Emperor, it was as if he had grabbed onto a life-saving straw.
Huang Emperor looked at him deeply, and gently shook his head. "Silly boy, you are not like me!"
"Hmm?" Qi Yue looked at Huang Emperor in confusion.
Huang Emperor smiled and said, "If I were you, when the Xuanyuan Jian proposed those three paths, I would definitely choose the second one. Sacrificing my life in exchange for the birth of the Xuanyuan Jian is definitely worth it. But you, silly boy, are willing to give it up."
Qi Yue said, "How could that be a choice? A teacher for a day, a father for life. Not to mention the Xuanyuan Jian, even if all the Ten Great Ancient Artifacts came together, they would not be able to persuade me to harm my own family." At this time, his mind was gradually clearing up. When he recalled everything that had happened, it seemed like he had done it subconsciously. He did not know that what the Xuanyuan Jian had triggered was exactly what his subconscious could do. Only in this way could one truly test one's character. As for the process of merging with the Xuanyuan Jian, it was completely driven by the divine power of the Xuanyuan Jian, and it was not intentional on Qi Yue's part.
The way Huang Emperor looked at Qi Yue changed. "At first, the Xuanyuan Jian gave me three choices. One of them was to sacrifice my soul after death to become the sword soul that protected him. The other two were to destroy all my clansmen and leave this world to go to another space. Therefore, I chose to become the sword soul. In fact, today, the Xuanyuan Jian did not intend to let you pass the test. Among the three conditions he gave me, only the condition of becoming the sword soul could truly pass his test. But today, of the three conditions he gave you, none of them could let you become the master of the Xuanyuan Jian. It was your luck, or rather, your will that finally made you become its master. All of this seems to be fate."
Qi Yue looked at Huang Emperor and smiled. "I really did not expect that I would be able to inherit your hope and become the new master of the Xuanyuan Jian. To be honest, I still feel like I'm dreaming. The Xuanyuan Jian, it's actually the Xuanyuan Jian. This is simply unbelievable." After his spirit cleared up, what followed was ecstasy. Qi Yue had already seen the sharpness of the Xuanyuan Jian. Being able to possess such a divine artifact not only would he have a greater chance of obtaining the Kunlun Mirrors, but at the same time, it would definitely be able to raise his strength to another peak! Even if it still could not be compared to the Bull Demon King, it would at least have a certain deterrent effect on him.
Huang Emperor's face darkened and he said solemnly, "Qi Yue, don't think that just because you have obtained the Xuanyuan Jian, you can become the second me, or become a peerless master. In this world, nothing can be obtained without effort, especially powerful strength. The Xuanyuan Jian is not as easy to use as you think. If you want to use the Xuanyuan Jian's strength, you must first have enough strength. Otherwise, you will not be able to activate the sword spirit of the Xuanyuan Jian. As for activating this divine artifact, you are different from me. Back then, I was chosen by the Xuanyuan Jian as its master, and you became its master by chance. Under such circumstances, if you want to use the power of the Xuanyuan Jian, you cannot activate it directly like I did back then. Instead, you must use your own energy to activate it. Based on your current situation, it will be very difficult for you to even use it once. It could even be said to be impossible."
Qi Yue was stunned and said, "Then isn't it the same as not having the Xuanyuan Jian?"
Huang Emperor smiled and said, "Of course you can't say that. Or, you can understand it this way. After obtaining the Xuanyuan Jian, when your strength reaches a certain level, the attack power that you can release in an instant can be multiplied several times. And after you have been baptized by the Origin of Nature, you have become the Origin of Nature and are no longer limited by your lifespan. Therefore, you have a long time to improve your strength. As long as you are willing to work hard, one day, you will be able to become its true master."
Qi Yue nodded his head helplessly and said, "I understand. Anyway, having such a thing is better than not having it at all."
Huang Emperor smiled and said, "You are wrong about this. Although you can't fully use the Xuanyuan Jian, the aura of the Xuanyuan Jian is very clear in our era. Perhaps ordinary ancient beasts can't feel it, but strong people like the Bull Demon King, or even the Three Fierce Kings under him, can definitely feel the aura of the Xuanyuan Jian. You have to protect yourself in the future."
"Damn, I can see it but not use it. It's a hot potato. Teacher, can I not have it?" After listening to Huang Emperor's words, Qi Yue suddenly understood that obtaining the Xuanyuan Jian was not a good thing!
Huang Emperor was slightly angry and said, "Bullsh * t, the Xuanyuan Jian is such a precious treasure. It was not easy for you to obtain it, how can you give it up? Moreover, it has already recognized a master, so it is easy for you to make it disappear. Then you can just commit suicide. As long as you die, the Xuanyuan Jian will naturally return to this Xuanyuan Tomb."
"Uh …, I see! In that case, forget it. I'll reluctantly become his master. "
Looking at Qi Yue's resentful face, Huang Emperor really had the urge to beat him up. However, now that he had become the master of the Xuanyuan Jian, the power of the Xuanyuan Jian that Huang Emperor could exert would not be able to cause any harm to him. Moreover, Qi Yue had a lot of Kirin's treasures. If they really fought, even if he did not use the Silver Dragon Shield, Huang Emperor did not know what his chances of winning were.
