The Secret of the Past
Chu Xingyun's appearance shocked the middle-aged man in white. He could not help but ask, "How, how did you discover me?"
The middle-aged man in white was not a human. He was an illusory Sword Seed.
Since it was a Sword Seed, it naturally did not have any Spiritual Energy fluctuations. This was why no one had discovered it when it appeared in the Sword-cleansing Pool.
But now, Chu Xingyun had appeared in front of the middle-aged man in white and said what he had just said. The middle-aged man in white could not accept this, and his face was filled with shock and doubt.
"I have the Green Lotus Sword Body, so I can clearly feel the fluctuations of swords. Even if you are just a Sword Seed, I can still detect you." Chu Xingyun's words made the middle-aged man in white tremble. He smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that I have underestimated your talent."
Chu Xingyun shrugged. He did not become arrogant because of what the middle-aged man said. He lowered his gaze and said seriously, "If I am not wrong, you are the Legendary Ancient Sword. What is the enmity between you and the Black Hole Sword? Also, what do you mean by Sword Slave?"
As soon as he opened his mouth, Chu Xing Yun asked all of his questions. He stared at the middle-aged man with a burning gaze.
"This is a long story." The middle-aged man in white sighed and began to tell an ancient history.
"The Black Hole and I were formed by heaven and earth. From the moment we appeared, we were mortal enemies. We have been fighting for countless years."
"The Black Hole is a Demonic Sword. Any living creature that comes into contact with it will have their mind corroded and become its Sword Slave. In the end, they will be completely devoured by it and become its nourishment."
"Because of this, in the years of fighting, I was no match for it. Until now, I am no match for it. I am constantly being hunted down like a stray dog." The middle-aged man in white sighed again and again. His eyes were misty as if he had returned to the past.
"So, in order to fight against it, you separated a Sword Seed into two and condensed them in the Sword Stele and the Sword-cleansing Pool to choose a suitable Sword Wielder?" Chu Xingyun was very knowledgeable. Soon, he knew the whole story.
He looked as calm as ever, but deep in his heart, there were waves of emotions.
The Legendary Ancient Sword and the Black Hole Sword were formed by heaven and earth. This meant that these two swords could easily communicate with heaven and earth and even merge with heaven and earth.
Chu Xingyun had only read about such a level Sword in ancient books. It must be a Divine Weapon!
"That's right, I have been looking for a suitable Sword Wielder.
The white clothed middle-aged man paused for a moment before smiling bitterly. "However, I never expected that the black hole would be one step ahead of me and attach itself to your body. Furthermore, it has already begun to corrode your mind. It's just that you haven't noticed it yet."
Hearing that, Chu Xingyun was not surprised. Instead, he calmly nodded.
He had a thousand years of experience, and what he had seen and heard far exceeded that of ordinary people.
The Black Hole Heavy Sword was condensed from the Heavens and Earth. It was a legendary supreme Imperial Weapon. Such an existence already had its own consciousness. The divine abilities it possessed were even more unfathomable.
It was hard to imagine that a sword could corrode a martial artist's mind and turn him into a Sword Slave, but it was not impossible.
"Since you have been fighting with the Black Hole Sword for countless years, and your strength is far inferior to it, how did you escape from its pursuit?" Chu Xingyun asked again.
"In the endless battles, I am indeed no match for the black hole. However, it is also extremely difficult for it to completely annihilate me. Moreover, after every battle, both I and it will become incomparably weak. The black hole will even seal itself and attach itself to the sword wielder. From there, it will devour the sword wielder and quickly recover."
"The last time we fought was a thousand years ago. Both of us were injured, but what is helpless is that I am still recuperating in the Sword Tomb. I can only split out a sword seed to find a suitable sword wielder, but its recovery speed far surpasses mine."
Hearing this, Chu Xingyun came to a realization.
It turned out that the strange phenomenon a thousand years ago was caused by the battle between the legendary ancient sword and the Black Hole Sword. People did not know the truth and thought that it was the birth of a rare treasure.
Now that he thought about it, he found it laughable. However, there was nothing he could do about it. Not to mention ordinary people, even Chu Xingyun back then knew very little about Imperial Armaments. It was simply impossible for him to reach that level.
"You and the Black Hole Heavy Sword have fought for countless years. In the end, you still have to return to the beginning. The reason why you condensed a sword seed earlier is likely because you no longer wish to escape. You wish to have a decisive battle with the Black Hole Heavy Sword, right?" As Chu Xingyun spoke, there was a trace of admiration in his eyes as he looked at the white-clothed man.
"That's right!"
The middle-aged man in white nodded and said, "The Sword Seed is formed by the body. Once it is planted in the depths of the Spirit Sea, it can stop the erosion of the Black Hole. In addition, I want to purify your Wu Ling Talent and make it purer."
"Purify Wu Ling Talent?" Chu Xingyun was stunned.
The young man in white saw Chu Xingyun's expression and asked, "Do you know what kind of Sword Essence you have?"
Hearing this, Chu Xingyun immediately shook his head.
Sword Essence was the essence of the Way of the Sword. It could be a mountain, an ocean, or anything in the world. It could perfectly reflect the will of a Sword Cultivator and directly condense it.
Before this, the young genius named Hu Xuan's Sword Will was the Black Tortoise Heavy Mountain. This meant that he specialized in the Heavy Sword Dao. A single slash of his sword was like the collapse of a mountain. It was heavy enough to suppress the heavens.
Chu Xingyun was a Sword Dao Grandmaster. He was proficient in any sword and any sword skills. Therefore, he did not know what his Sword Essence was.
"Your Sword Essence is a Fused Sword Essence that is hard to come by in ten thousand years. It has no shape, no shape, no edge, no horn, but it really exists. It can fuse with anything and everything."
The words of the middle-aged man in white caused Chu Xingyun to stop breathing. In his mind, he immediately thought of the Nameless Art.
The Nameless Martial Art was able to cause the Martial Spirit to mutate, allowing one to devour other Martial Spirits without any restraint. From there, one would obtain all sorts of Martial Spirits. The more one devoured, the stronger one's strength would be.
Therefore, Chu Xingyun was almost certain that his Fused Sword Essence came from the Nameless Art.
"The Fused Sword Essence does not have a grade. However, due to its special characteristics, it can possess a power that is close to the peak."
The middle-aged man in white turned his head and suddenly frowned, "It's a pity that your Fused Sword Essence is not only weak, but also very heterogeneous. You can't use it to its full potential."
These words caused Chu Xingyun to be speechless.
Come to think of it, Chu Xingyun had devoured three Wu Ling in total. The grades of these Wu Ling were not high. It could even be said that they were weak. It was no wonder that the middle-aged man in white sighed.
Chu Xingyun suddenly thought of this and asked, "Fusing with the Sword Intent should be able to fuse with all things. Although my current Martial Spirit talent is not strong, it should still be useful. Why do you need to completely purify it?"
In his previous life, Chu Xingyun had also practiced the Nameless Art. With the help of the Nameless Art, he had devoured countless Wu Ling, causing the grade of Wu Ling's Sword to reach the eighth-grade.
Every time he devoured a Wu Ling, he would obtain the Talent of Wu Ling. With the accumulation of the Talent, Chu Xingyun's strength became stronger and stronger. From then on, he was ranked second among the top ten Martial Emperors.
