Chapter 3641: The Past Life of the Sword Spirits
Jian Chen was taken aback. The past life of the sword spirits?
He was aware that the twin swords had been severely damaged when they fused together during the war between the two worlds when they followed their previous master. The backlash from fusing had forcefully destroyed their past bodies, shattering the swords. Even Zi Ying and Qing Suo were greatly weakened due to overexerting their power, sinking into a slumber of three million years.
However, these experiences came nowhere close to being considered as a past life.
Not only had what the artifact spirit suddenly blurted out stunned Jian Chen, even the sword spirits were taken aback.
“Our past lives? Master, ask it about what it knows.”
As Ye Qingyun was present, the sword spirits did not appear. They lay in hiding inside Jian Chen and made him convey the message.
Jian Chen said nothing, only looking towards the artifact spirit with an inquisitive gaze.
“I can’t recall the exact details. I only managed to remember some scattered memories. The sword spirits also seemed to follow a powerful Grand Exalt during their past life…”
“However, I can vaguely recall that the sword spirits should have far more than just that one lifetime…”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe artifact spirit spent a good while trying to recall the past, but that was all the information it was able to come up with in the end.
Jian Chen fell silent. As a Sixth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor, his understanding and knowledge about how the world worked was far greater than ever before. As a result, he could roughly tell what the artifact spirit was getting at from what it said.
Very clearly, the past life that the artifact spirit was talking about was not as simple as reincarnating.
When it came to reincarnation, everyone had a very good chance at recovering their past memories.
However, the sword spirits were undying existences. At the very least, in the known universe, there were no powers that could kill them, nor were there any powers that could make them disappear from the world.
However, that did not mean that their consciousness could not be destroyed.
Upon reaching a certain level of strength, even if it was impossible to kill the sword spirits, it was still possible to destroy their consciousness.
Once their current generation of consciousness had been destroyed and a new consciousness had developed, it would be equivalent to a new life and reincarnation.
For example, the Tower of Radiance from the Radiant Saint Hall. When the opponent was powerful enough, even the artifact spirits of sovereign god artifacts could be replaced.
“In other words, the sword spirits have also gone through multiple generations of consciousness? But that does make sense. After all, they are the yin and yang Qi separated during the birth of the universe. They’re obviously extremely ancient, while the feeling that the sword spirits give me is that everything they’ve gone through has only occurred with their past master. As for anything before that, it’s all blank. As a matter of fact, I can only learn about those matters from ancient records,” Jian Chen thought.
“We’ve understood this a long time ago. Our bodies cannot be killed. There is no power that can erase us, but our consciousnesses are indeed very fragile,” the sword spirits’ voice rang out in Jian Chen.
“Cannot be killed? Is there really no power that can erase you?” Jian Chen had some doubts. At that moment, he could not help but recall the giant hand condensed from the three thousand laws that slew the Martial Soul Grand Exalt.
So far, he was already aware that Grand Exalts were incapable of killing the sword spirits, but what about the giant hand condensed from the three thousand laws?
Every time Jian Chen recalled the hand condensed from the three thousand laws, he would experience chills. The Martial Soul lineage was so powerful. The Martial Soul Grand Exalt was so powerful, yet they stood no chance before the giant hand.
Even the Tower of Radiance that was on the same level as a sovereign god artifact was unable to withstand the shockwaves of its attacks.
Just a single shockwave had damaged a sovereign god artifact severely. If the attack had landed directly, would it not result in downright annihilation?
At this moment, Jian Chen was basically tempted to tell the artifact spirit of the Observance Heaven City about the giant hand composed of the three thousand laws to see if the artifact spirit that had existed for aeons could recall some scattered memories.
But upon further consideration, he gave up on the thought in the end.
“The jade bottle in your possession is very extraordinary. I think it is something with origins that were once startling, possessing unbelievable powers. But now, it seems to be on the brink of shattering.” The artifact spirit turned its attention to Ye Qingyun’s jade bottle again.
As the lofty artifact spirit, it rarely ever showed itself proactively. It had been specially drawn over by the jade bottle this time.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Artifact spirit, is there any way to repair it?” Ye Qingyun asked urgently, extremely reluctant to see it break.
“No one can repair it, not even Grand Exalts, as it was shattered a very, very long time ago. It was shattered during the age when I first heard about it, just not as badly as right now,” the artifact spirit said without much certainty.
It studied the simple jade bottle before letting out a gentle sigh in the end, saying with pity, “The power of time is eating away at it constantly. It only has a few thousand years remaining. Treasure this last bit of time.”
The artifact spirit vanished. Jian Chen and Ye Qingyun sat before one another, staring at the jade bottle that hovered between them.
“Where did you find this jade bottle?” Jian Chen asked instinctively, only to realise it was rather inappropriate after he had asked the question, so he added, “I’m just asking casually. If it’s inconvenient, you don’t have to answer that question.”
Ye Qingyun had mixed feelings. He sighed. “This isn’t some secret that I have to keep to myself. It’s just that even if I tell you, you might not believe me. When I was travelling through outer space one time, I was obstructed by space beasts. Afterwards, I used a secret technique to shatter everything in the surroundings and slay the space beasts. Some of the meteors nearby were reduced to dust as well. I discovered the bottle in the dust.”
“The bottle had probably fallen onto one of the meteors.”
Jian Chen was unsurprised by how Ye Qingyun had obtained the jade battle. Many fortuitous encounters were indeed lurking in the vast outer space. If their luck was out of this world, they could accidentally open up a sealed miniature world or even come across the complete legacy of an ancient sect.
There could even be legacies of Grand Exalts that remained buried for aeons.
Afterwards, Jian Chen and Ye Qingyun dismissed their thoughts and began to power the first two layers of the jade bottle with their full strength, collecting the Stainless Qi across the entire sacred land through the jade bottle’s unique function.
Perhaps thanks to Jian Chen’s addition, the jade bottle absorbed Stainless Qi even faster than before after activating the power of its second layer. As a result, the frequency at which Stainless Qi emerged evidently increased, gradually shrinking from the original fifty years a strand to a decade a strand.
Even if the two of them shared it evenly between them, they would each receive a strand of Stainless Qi every twenty years.
Of course, during this time, Ye Qingyun and Jian Chen never stopped channeling their spiritual Qi and Chaotic Force into the bottle. If they wanted to use the bottle’s effect to gather Stainless Qi, they had to power it constantly.
