Legend of the Heavenly Fruit
Eps. 223 — World Elemental Heirloom
Zhou Yuan narrowed his eyes while raising his vigilance, he was in a foreign place, there should be no one who would know him at this moment.
The young man called Jian Chen was aware of Zhou Yuan's vigilance towards the two so he explained the situation.
"Broker Yuan, didn't you previously mention your name to Senior Xin and Wang Lun? We know your name from them, I hope you don't misunderstand." Jian Chen explained while keeping calm.
Jian Chen's explanation was enough to make Zhou Yuan slightly understand the situation. Wang Xin and Wang Lun were a pair of father and son whom he had saved earlier in the middle of the forest while fighting the silver snake.
Zhou Yuan had also introduced his name to them.
"Do you know both?" Ask Zhou Yuan.
"We know but cannot be said to be familiar, just like you I am also a traveller from a distant place. My wife and I just got here a few days ago."
Jian Chen explained that he had come to this city because he was targeting the tomb, especially the secret treasures inside.
"Boyard Yuan, actually the reason I came here was because I wanted to invite you to cooperate. How about we make a group and go to the tomb together?"
Zhou Yuan frowned, he felt from the beginning that this young man named Jian Chen was indeed eyeing to interact with him.
Zhou Yuan did not immediately reply, he thought for a while. Zhou Yuan was actually secretly groping the golden-eyed young man's strength but to no avail, he really could not see the level of his strength.
"Are you sure you want to work with me?" Zhou Yuan asked.
"I've never been mistaken in my choice, after helping Senior Xin before I'm pretty sure you're a good person."
After getting the answer, Zhou Yuan lowered his concerns. "I'm sorry about my earlier attitude, I'm just wary of strangers."
"It's not why Swordsman Yuan, everyone should behave like that. I was also wrong for directly mentioning your name."
Zhou Yuan now felt more relaxed, he also saw this young man named Jian Chen was not a bad or cunning person as he had expected.
"So what do you want to plan if we make a group?" Ask Zhou Yuan.
Jian Chen smiled then explained his plan, Zhou Yuan listened to the end before nodding softly.
"It's not that hard, I might be able to do it..." After listening to Jian Chen's plan, Zhou Yuan thought it was not difficult to follow according to the young man's plan.
"For the matter of results, I don't need anything else but just one sword, the rest you can take."
"You speak as if knowing that there is a sword in the tomb?"
"You could say that, the reason I came from far away and came here is because I knew there was a sword inside the tomb, I intended to take it."
Jian Chen then took out a sword from void space, the action was not noticed by others but Zhou Yuan could see it clearly.
"Isn't that a space ring?" Zhou Yuan's breathing was restrained.
Jian Chen smiled. "Broker Yuan, I come from the corner side of the world next to the eastern continent, here perhaps the space ring is a rare or even non-existent object but in the Eastern Mainland Continent, here, rings can be found easily in the market."
Jian Chen then glanced at the spatial ring Zhou Yuan was in, "Actually compared to me, I was even more surprised how you have a space ring on this continent?"
Zhou Yuan took a cold breath, he never thought the person in front of him was from a different continent. Zhou Yuan knew that traveling between continents would take a long time because it had to pass through a vast ocean.
Zhou Yuan now realized the person before him might not be an ordinary swordsman and his strength definitely could not be underestimated.
Jian Chen then unsheathed the sword that had previously been ejected in the s.p.a.ce ring from its sheath. A sword with a flaming reddish color.
"I was looking for a sword like this, Swordsman Yuan, an heirloom that was in the rank of an ancient heirloom quality, an Elemental World Heirloom!"
Zhou Yuan's eyes narrowed, he could feel that the sword had a quality that was no less formidable than that of the sword of Kusanagi even Zhou Yuan vaguely felt there was a similarity between his navel and that of the red sword.
"Elemental World Heirlooms? I never heard of it?"
"The name should be foreign to the ears of many people, only certain people have heard the story..."
The young man named Jian Chen then explained the World Elemental Heirloom to Zhou Yuan, a sword that could destroy civilization because of the terrifying power that existed within it. As the name suggests, the World's Elemental Heirloom is related to the elements, has 27 in number and they are scattered everywhere.
Jian Chen then took out a jade slip from his green-colored s.p.a.ce ring, the jade looked slightly glowing.
"With this jade I can detect all the ancient heirloom swords around me. The same reason why I could realize there was a sword in that ancient tomb..." Jian Chen had clearly ended his story.
Zhou Yuan looked at the jade, there were light dots shining there and that point light was where the location of the ancient heirloom sword was stored.
"Wait first! Isn't that spot of light where my location stands?" Zhou Yuan noticed the light spot.
Jian Chen nodded slowly. "True, don't you have a sword like this too?"
Jian Chen then explained about his mission which was to gather the 27 Elemental Swords of the World. The sword in his hand was one of them that had the name asura sword.
"The Asura Sword is another name for this sword while its real name is the death sword that has the element of death."
Zhou Yuan then took out Kusanagi's sword, "Is this including the World Elemental heirloom sword as well?"
"True, this sword is a Kusanagi sword that has a dark element type. I think you already know its power no, this sword has incredible sharpness but instead the energy in the user will be absorbed as payment."
Zhou Yuan was surprised, he did not know the person in front of him really knew much about the sword Kusanagi.
The Kusanagi sword was an heirloom that Zhou Yuan had accidentally discovered in the underground city, from the very beginning seeing it Zhou Yuan realized the heirloom was no ordinary weapon.
"I already have 6 Elemental World heirloom swords by now, two swords in my ring while the rest are in my other wife."
Zhou Yuan sighed then looked at the sword sheathed in his hand, "Are you here to take this sword?"
"No Swordsman Yuan, I do intend to collect the sword but have no intention of snatching it from people..." Jian Chen explained that the heirloom in the tomb was his target from the start.
"Why are you telling me all this, explaining about the World's Elemental Heirloom sword?"
Jian Chen smiled faintly, "I'm not sure but it looks like you have a life journey like me. That's why I explained it."
Zhou Yuan might have forgotten that for his current strength that could not be said to be reasonable, Jian Chen could actually read his power level that had managed to reach the Light Realm with 8 meridians that were open at the age of a dozen.
Jian Chen also actually had another meaning with his words just now, maybe from the way his second life was similar or they had a not much different past.
