Bestowing the Sword
"What? Are you still brooding over what happened that day? "Chu Xingyun did not beat around the bush and directly asked.
Baili Kuangsheng was taken aback at first, but then he nodded and replied, "That day, I fell into the hands of Lin Jingxuan and the others. Not only did I suffer great humiliation, I even almost lost my life. How could I forget how serious this matter was?
"However, you don't need to worry. I only have revenge for what happened that day. I will definitely recover to my peak in the shortest amount of time possible and increase my strength. I will definitely repay this enmity a hundredfold!"
Cold light surfaced in Baili Kuangsheng's eyes. His sword Qi condensed and soared into the sky. It was extremely sharp, as if he had completely let go of this matter and returned to being that arrogant monstrous genius.
However, Chu Xingyun's tightly furrowed brow did not relax because of this.
He stared at Baili Kuangsheng and slightly sighed in the depths of his heart.
Chu Xingyun's eyes were as sharp as torches. He could tell that Baili Kuangsheng's earlier words were just an act.
That day, Baili Kuangsheng had come with a vengeance. His momentum had soared, and he had vowed to cut down Lin Jingxuan and the others. However, in the end, he had been defeated by Lin Jingxuan.
Baili Kuangsheng's Sword of Destruction had been very powerful. It had first broken the saber light and then destroyed the Daluo saber soul. If Lin Jingxuan had not possessed the Luoshengyu, it might have even been able to take his life. However, there was one thing that could not be denied. His sword had indeed been blocked.
As the ancient saying went, the first spurt of energy, the second spurt of energy, and the third spurt of energy.
After the Sword of Destruction had been blocked, Baili Kuangsheng's momentum had already begun to decline. Even if Gu Tianjiao and Luo Sen had not acted, Baili Kuangsheng would still have been defeated. He was no match for Lin Jingxuan.
Baili Kuangsheng was very clear on this point. It was also from that moment that cracks had begun to appear in his heart of the sword.
Swordsmen were arrogant.
Baili Kuangsheng had been defeated by Lin Jingxuan. Even his strongest attack had been blocked. He had been thoroughly defeated, and after his defeat, he hadn't died. Instead, he had suffered endless humiliation. His sword had been destroyed, his spiritual sea had cracked, and his face had been scarred by a blade. Like a stray dog, he had been casually exiled into the wilderness.
To a sword cultivator, these blows were too cruel. They could almost destroy all of his willpower.
That was why Gu Tianjiao hadn't destroyed Baili Kuangsheng's Spiritual Sea. He had only shattered it with a kick. What he wanted was for Baili Kuangsheng to continue living. He wanted Baili Kuangsheng to leave the Ancient Star Secret Realm as a loser and receive everyone's disdain.
Because in his eyes, although Baili Kuangsheng was still alive, he was already dead. He was no longer a threat.
"The injuries on the body can be completely healed in a short period of time with many elixirs and miraculous medicines. However, the blow to the heart is difficult to erase. Even the high and mighty Martial Emperor would be traumatized by such humiliation. It would turn into an inner demon that would affect his state of mind. Moreover, Baili Kuangsheng is now just a young man …"
Chu Xingyun looked at Baili Kuangsheng and sighed.
In the past few days, when he had helped Baili Kuangsheng heal his injuries, he could clearly feel Baili Kuangsheng's desolation. Although Baili Kuangsheng had tried his best to overcome it and adjust himself, he still couldn't completely forget it.
"Kuangsheng," Chu Xingyun stopped his thoughts and called out softly, causing Baili Kuangsheng to recover from his disappointment.
Buzz!
A bright white light flashed. Chu Xingyun opened his right palm and took out Remnant Light. On the sparkling and translucent body of the sword, an extreme sword light slowly flowed and spread in all directions, as if it wanted to compete with the bright moon.
"Take it." Chu Xingyun handed Remnant Light to Baili Kuangsheng. His words immediately stunned Baili Kuangsheng. He didn't know what Chu Xingyun meant.
Although he was confused, Baili Kuangsheng didn't hesitate. He took Remnant Light with his right hand and held it tightly.
In an instant, the sound of flowing water could be heard. Baili Kuangsheng felt as if he had fallen into the long river of history. The light and shadow in front of him changed, and his mind was immersed. Immediately, he saw an ancient sword emitting extreme sword light standing in front of him.
That ancient sword's sword light was like a star, and its aura soared to the sky. Even though it was just a light projection, it still caused Baili Kuangsheng's mind to tremble, and an incomparably familiar feeling appeared in his mind.
"This sword is so similar to the legendary ancient sword recorded in the ancient books. Moreover, the area where it is located seems to be where the Wanjian Pavilion is …" Baili Kuangsheng looked at Chu Xingyun in surprise, and his voice was full of horror.
He never thought that the legendary ancient sword was not imaginary. At this moment, he was observing a period of history, a legend.
"Calm down and watch quietly. This period of history is very long." Chu Xingyun's voice was calm. Baili Kuangsheng's expression turned serious, and then he nodded heavily. He immersed his mind in that period of history again.
Seeing this, Chu Xingyun smiled knowingly. He stood up and left the place quietly.
The sun rose and set, and time passed. Time passed quickly in the Ancient Star Mystery Land. In the blink of an eye, two days had passed. For Baili Kuangsheng, who was immersed in the light and shadow of history, time passed even faster. It was as if a thousand years had passed.
At this moment, he was still standing on the cliff.
The sun gradually set, and the sunset shone on his body, giving off a faint golden light. His eyes were shining, sometimes dim, sometimes bright. He seemed to have understood a lot.
Swoosh!
History finally came to an end. The light and shadow dissipated, and Baili Kuangsheng gradually regained consciousness. He lowered his eyebrows and glanced around, only to see Chu Xingyun sitting cross-legged beside him. The corner of Chu Xingyun's mouth was slightly curved, and he was staring at him.
"How do you feel?" Chu Xingyun asked.
"The ancient sword's tip was chopped off, and it was like a broken object. It cried out mournfully for a thousand years. In the end, it suddenly woke up, and it was reborn. It finally became the Sword of Remnant Light. With a broken sword body, it reignited its fighting spirit. It is enough to make people respect it." Baili Kuangsheng looked at Chu Xingyun and laughed. He continued, "If a sword can be like that, a person can also be like that. Luo Yun, thank you."
"You don't have to thank me."
Chu Xingyun stood up, patted his clothes, and said calmly, "I let you watch this period of history, not to let you forget the humiliation and reignite your fighting spirit. On the contrary, what I really want is for you to remember the humiliation."
"Although Remnant Light has been reborn, it still doesn't have a sword tip. To it, the sword tip is its humiliation. All of this has become history. It can't be erased, and it can't be forgotten. Only by truly facing this humiliation can it be reborn."
Chu Xingyun's voice was sonorous, and every word seemed to have a special magical power. It was deeply imprinted in Baili Kuangsheng's mind, as if a shackle had been unlocked, allowing him to understand everything.
"I understand." Baili Kuangsheng smiled. His expression suddenly became serious, and his body emitted a long sword light. It was sharp and deep, and compared to before, it was more restrained.
He exhaled a turbid breath, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders. He slowly extended his hand, preparing to return Remnant Light to Chu Xingyun.
