NIRVANA SHACKLES
REBORN

“Where am I? Why me ...” Wuxian finally regained consciousness and found himself in a foreign place. His legs and hands were bound and his body could not be moved.

“You finally realized too,” said someone who slowly walked over to Wuxian. That person was wearing an all-black robe, his face looked handsome, his eyes were splattered in black, and the way he walked looked extremely dignified. He was none other than Gu Xiang the demon king.

“Who are you?” ask Wuxian. He looked alert when Gu Xiang approached him.

“Who I am is not important. The most important thing is who you are,” Gu Xiang replied.

“I? I am Yu Wuxian,” replied Wuxian innocently.

“Your name is indeed Wuxian, but you are not just Wuxian. Do you know who your real identity is?” Gu Xiang deliberately asked a question to make Wuxian think.

“What do you mean?” ask Wuxian because she doesn't understand.

“Lately, have you felt the strangeness that has happened to you? Just so you know, everything you've been through is a good sign for you. In a moment, you will become the strongest swordsman in the Jianghu world,” Gu Xiang said.

Wu Xian grew increasingly clueless with everything Gu Xiang said to him. He admitted, lately he has experienced strange things that bother him. However to become a great swordsman of Jianghu world, he was aware of his current condition. None of that would ever happen.

“Don't bullshit! Why did you kidnap me? What's your goal?” asked Wuxian bluntly.

“Originally you know, I just wanted to help you. Don't you want to be a great warrior? Then about avenging your family .. You don't have to worry after you become the greatest swordsman,” said Gu Xiang.

“I don't know what your purpose is to bring me here. If you want to kill me, then do it quickly right now! I don't want to hear all the bullshit you're saying,” Wuxian cetus.

“It doesn't matter if you don't believe my words. You'll believe it after I prove it!”

Gu Xiang took out the Sword of Samsara in his grasp to show it to Wuxian. A moment after Wuxian felt the same evil aura, his body began to react. Those incitements began to overwhelm his mind, making him even more tormented. Finally Wuxian realized that the source of the evil aura residing within his body came from the Sword of Samsara which was in Gu Xiang's current grasp.

When Gu Xiang kidnapped Wuxian, he stole Wuxian blood to snatch the sealed Samsara Sword in the Ancestral Hall of the Qing Long sect. After he managed to capture it, he returned to the demon realm to meet Wuxian whom he had taken as a hostage.

I don't know what Gu Xiang will plan this time, but Wuxian's fate has really been in his hands.

“Master, join me. Grab me and stick with us. After that, you will become the strongest warrior who rules the world.” Whispers ringing in Wuxian's head.

“No! Until any time, I will never be a demon,” he argued. Wuxian was crazed and visibly tormented, in pain every time the incitements were ringing in his head. The spiritual power in his heart also reacted, as if tore apart every inch of his body.

“Unfortunately, right now it is not you who decided to become a demon or not. You will still be a demon even if you don't want to!” the Cetus Gu Xiang.

Since the Sword of Samsara had met its rightful master, then Gu Xiang would not have to stall for much longer. He handed over the Sword of Samsara to Wuxian.

The Samsara sword floated up the Wuxian crown, emitting an extremely powerful evil aura. Thick black smoke shot out from Wuxian's body, along with the red glow from the sword. While the spirits trapped inside the sword floated into the air, they fused into the Wuxian's body.

“Aaaarrrggh!!!” Wuxian groaned in pain as his soul united with the spirits of the Sword of Samsara.

After some time, the body of the Wuxian demon was formed. His weak and vulnerable body was instantly transformed into a fit and ateletic one. The look in Wuxian's eyes, which had originally been filled with the gentleness of his heart, had now disappeared to nowhere. His gaze was sharp, haughty and seemed arrogant, a glint of passion emanated from his gaze.

His appearance changed drastically, compared to the previous Wuxian. Most importantly, the condensed Asura power of the Sword Samsara had fused with his body. Gu Xiang deliberately made Wuxian become like that. Since his primodial soul had fused together with the Sword of Samsara, then the current Wuxian was no longer a human, but rather a part of the Asura tribe that had gone extinct centuries ago.

CRING!!! The flash of sword light unfolded as Wuxian grasped the Sword of Samsara with his sturdy hand. The binding chains that constrained his body could also be easily destroyed. Wuxian was finally freed by holding the Sword of Samsara firmly in his sturdy hands. At that moment, he walked over to Gu Xiang with a plan to kill him.

HIA!!! Wuxian shouted out loudly while pointing his sword towards Gu Xiang. However, Wuxian held back his attack the moment the sharp tip of the sword pointed right in front of Gu Xiang's face. Seeing that scene, Gu Xiang simply smiled cunningly without the slightest worry.

“You will not be able to kill me,” Gu Xiang said confidently.

“You have made me like this. You should be thinking what I'll do to you after I get my powers!” cetus Wuxians. It was filled with emotions and anger that boiled down to the nerves of his brain. After he had obtained Asura's body, he could no longer control emotions as he normally did, as if he had been reborn with a high emosinonal nature.

“You ... can never.” Gu Xiang spelled out one by one the words he said to Wuxian. “You can't kill me even if you really want to kill me, because killing me will make you die!” the Cetus Gu Xiang.

Before that, by the time Wuxian was unconscious, Gu Xiang had prepared everything. Gu Xiang was not stupid. There was no way he would let Wuxian obtain great power in vain. He planned it carefully. If he could not possess the great power of the Sword of Samsara, then he could only utilize others to control it.

Gu Xiang cast a life-line concocting spell against the Wuxian. Wuxian's life and death had been connected to Gu Xiang. If Gu Xiang lives, then Wuxian will live. However if Gu Xiang were to die, then Wuxian would die. After gaining great strength, in the end Wuxian would only become Gu Xiang's safety protector. Gu Xiang used Wuxian to be the puppet controlling his life.

“Then, it is better to die together!” cetus Wuxians.

*Assalamualaikum, hello everyone. Thank you for reading this piece. I am still a beginner and lack a lot of experience. And of course there are still many shortcomings that need to be corrected. Authors still need to learn, learn, and learn to hone their skills.

I just poured my own ideas into this story. If there are some things that are not fitting, you can criticize it. But it needs to be underlined, the author only accepts criticism, not blasphemy. If it was about blasphemy, I would just close my eyes and assume not to see anything. I am sure you also know how to criticize the good and right because it has been taught from youth. Almost everyone can read, but not with writing and all the challenges. Writing takes time, imagination, and energy. I am not an author who likes to pamper readers, because I write to vent stress for myself, not to seek sensation. Thank you so much for following this story faithfully. I understand, humans are always there are pros and cons, even famous writers do not escape mistakes, because no human work is truly perfect*.
