The Feng Zun Journey
The Origin of the Heavenly Calamity Sword
If something unexpected happened, it was very likely that those who fell asleep would never wake up again.
As Feng Zun said that, he walked towards the palace, Chuyu naturally followed him.
When they reached the nearest altar, Feng Zun gazed towards the ten-foot-tall Immortal Crystal Chrysalis.
His eyelids twitched.
There was a very clear slash on the surface of the cocoon!
Moreover, he knew that this was the deed of the same sword, which had killed all the undead outside!
Feng Zun spread his spiritual senses and inspected every other altar.
Without exception, a sword qi had slashed and destroyed every last Immortal Crystal Pupal!
It was no wonder that no cultivator from the ancient times had risen from the Immortal Dragon Palace faction. Thus, their Immortal Crystal Chrysalis had long since been destroyed!
Even Feng Zun had visible emotional reactions while studying this matter.
This explained that, fifty thousand years ago, when Ancient Dark Energy began to befall the Luo Mainland, the Eternal Dragon Palace was actually preparing for it.
They had even gone one step further, by placing seventy-two Immortal Crystal Chrysalis within the Last Rest, all in the hope that seventy-two disciples would be of their choice, he said, one day you will wake up and enter the world again.
However, someone had ruined all their plans!
Who exactly did all this?
As Feng Zun was still pondering, he suddenly saw a corpse deep within the palace.
As he approached, he saw the corpse wearing a purple-colored robe. His body withered, but despite years of corrosion, the corpse showed no signs of decay.
The body sat down, and his right index finger touched the floor.
When Feng Zun turned his head, he saw a line of text written in blood. All of the texts were ancient demon beast characters, and time had eaten up a portion of his writing, his words vague and vague.
However, when he took a closer look, he could still read it.
“The Heavenly Disaster Sword Master, has attacked his own master, and ended the long history of the Eternal Dragon Palace. I, Bai Chen, am deeply ashamed of the Great Ancestor!”
As he saw this, Feng Zun's heart was shaken, yet on the other hand he looked enlightened.
This corpse turned out to belong to the second generation leader of the Eternal Dragon Palace, Bai Chen!
When his first trip to these ruins, Feng Zun had seen a vision dating back fifty thousand years, which was recorded in a jade slip.
The scenes in the vision included Bai Chen and the Ghost Ruler as well as the Demon Beasts, Ghost King Hun Long!
The Heavenly Calamity attacked its master.It seemed, that sword was originally the main weapon of Bai Chen.
It was also then that he learned that Qing Ruo was really just a slave, who selected the sword ruler to nurture the sword itself.
Qing Ruo's fate was under the control of the spiritual weapon growing within his spine, the Heavenly Calamity Sword!
At that moment, Feng Zun guessed that Qing Ruo had appeared outside these ruins, due to the orders and influence of the Heavenly Calamity Sword.
Although the Eternal Dragon Palace was a faction of demon and ghost beast cultivators, but they were actually running the Sword Sutra Book called the Sword Art Spirit.
The Heavenly Calamity Sword was clearly the supreme heirloom of their faction, and the sword had already possessed a primordial spirit that had fully materialized within it.
All of that was almost irrefutable proof, that the sword was related to the Eternal Dragon Palace in some conditions.
When he saw Bai Chen's corpse and the emergency message he had written in blood before his death, how could Feng Zun not realize what had happened?
"Young Master, don't tell me that you recognize the corpse?" ask Chuyu.
Feng Zun nodded, then explained what he knew to her.
Fifty thousand years ago, when the Ancient Darkness Restriction Energy began to befall the Luo Mainland, the cultivators of the Eternal Dragon Palace were in danger. Their leader, Bai Chen, led his experts to build seventy-two sealed altars here, and called it the Final Rest.
He had planned to leave everything in reserve, and he hoped that the chosen disciples who were asleep inside the Immortal Crystal Chrysalis, would one day rise again and continue the glory of their faction.
However, Bai Chen could never have guessed that the moment he made this arrangement, his own ultimate weapon, the Heavenly Calamity Sword, would suddenly attack him!
Seventy-two Immortal Crystal Cocoons, as well as the hundreds of undead outside, had clearly all been killed by the Heavenly Calamity Sword!
Feng Zun's narration was simple, but after learning the truth of the situation, Chuyu was so shocked that a chill ran down his back, and the look on his face changed drastically.
He could only say, “It was just a sword, how could it be... How could it be so terrifying and so evil?”
“This is the danger of nurturing a sword with its own body.” said Feng Zun.
He continued, “Doing that requires them to use their own essence, qi, spirit, and cultivation base, in order to nurture their ultimate weapons and improve their quality as well as strength...
“Doing this can indeed make one's ultimate weapon explode with unimaginable terrifying power. However, the disadvantage was that if one could not suppress the consciousness of the weapon itself, then he risked making the weapon rebel. If that happened, then it would deprive them of their memories, cultivation, and even vitality of life. The ultimate sword will devour them completely.”
Feng Zun glanced at Bai Chen's corpse and continued, “If I'm not mistaken, setting the seal around the Immortal Crystal Cocoon is very draining of his soul and cultivation base. This was what gave the Heavenly Calamity Sword the chance to rebel, and resulted in this terrible calamity."
Chuyu's heart trembled and was frightened just by listening to this, and he felt a chill in his hands and feet.
A sword had actually killed the former leader of the Eternal Dragon Palace, and had survived under the power of the Ancient Dark Energy!
This was undoubtedly too difficult to believe!
But the most frightening thing to Chuyu was, that until now the Heavenly Calamity Sword was still around!
Moreover, the sword had appeared outside the ruins not too long ago. If at that time Feng Zun had not arrived in time, the Heavenly Calamity Sword might have made it into the ruins!
