Chapter 3797 The Strange Movement of the Soul-Destroying Sword

“A Primordial Being!”

Shen Changqing looked at the being born from the chaotic universe and could immediately discern its origins.

Born at the Immortal King Realm!

Possessing a powerful bloodline.

This bloodline was almost comparable to a Primordial Bloodline.

However,

Shen Changqing could also see that the reason this being was able to cultivate a Primordial Bloodline and step into the Ancient Immortal Realm shortly after birth was entirely related to the creation of the chaotic universe.

As the first being in a chaotic universe, its birth was itself a gift of creation.

Creation is profoundly mysterious and possesses infinite uses. Being blessed

by creation

can nurture rare and precious materials and innate spiritual objects.

Similarly, it has great benefits for cultivators.

However, such creation is often difficult to capture and cannot be easily controlled by humans.

Like now, as the first Primordial Being in the universe, it received the creation of heaven and earth immediately upon birth, which is why it was able to step into the Ancient Immortal Realm in one step.

“Such beings, blessed by the creation of heaven and earth and possessing innate bloodlines, have limitless potential for future achievements. Breaking through to the Immortal Emperor realm is certainly not a problem.

There’s even a sliver of hope that they might reach the Half-Saint realm!”

Shen Changqing thought to himself, gazing at the innate being.

An innate being with the potential to break through to the Half-Saint realm was naturally not to be underestimated.

If each of the twelve universes could nurture one innate being, then there would be twelve Half-Saints in the future.

Of course,

this was the ideal scenario.

Although such innate beings had the hope of breaking through to the Half-Saint realm, it was only a hope, not a guarantee of direct breakthrough.

But regardless, such innate beings would be considered true geniuses in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.

However,

Shen Changqing was also quite curious about one thing:

whether a universe could only nurture one innate being, or multiple innate beings.

If it was only one, that was fine, but if it was multiple, he would have to reassess the importance of such a treasure.

At this moment…

Upon birth, this primordial being traversed the chaotic universe.

However, even a third-order universe was vast and boundless for a being of the Ancient Immortal Realm, and truly traversing the entire void was no easy feat.

Under Shen Changqing’s watchful gaze, this primordial being spent a hundred years traveling in various directions before retreating into seclusion to comprehend the Dao in a desolate starry sky.

Throughout this entire process

, he neither revealed himself nor interfered, allowing the primordial being to grow on its own.

It wasn’t until later,

when this primordial being had spent ten thousand years in seclusion yet still failed to grasp what it sought, that Shen Changqing intervened remotely.

Within that void of the universe, the vast and mighty laws of the Great Dao manifested a majestic Dharma image. Such terrifying fluctuations naturally alerted the primordial being.

When it opened its eyes and gazed upon the overwhelming Dharma image, its face revealed shock for the first time.

“Father God!”

It bowed and prostrated before the supreme Dharma image, its expression filled with awe.

The Dharma Image slowly spoke: “You are the first primordial being born from the first being in this universe, blessed by heaven and earth. Today, seeing the difficulty of your enlightenment, I bestow upon you this opportunity to attain the Great Dao. I hope you will cherish it!”

As the words fell, the Dharma Image pointed its right hand through the air, and a terrifying power of Dao energy instantly entered the primordial being’s sea of consciousness.

The latter’s body trembled violently, and it froze in place

for a long time.

Only after a long while did the being gradually awaken from the profound Dao energy. It saw that the boundless Dao energy contained the mysteries of heaven and earth; many things that were previously obscure and difficult to understand now became clear.

At this moment,

this primordial being truly understood what the Great Dao was and how to walk the path ahead.

Understanding this, the being looked at the Dharma Image with even greater reverence.

“Thank you, Father God, for bestowing this opportunity. I am deeply grateful!”

“I am Qi Xuan. From now on, you may call me Dao Lord Qi Xuan!”

The Dharma Image slowly spoke, and the primordial being’s expression faltered slightly before changing its address.

“Greetings, Dao Lord!”

“Furthermore, this junior was born from chaos and has no name. I wonder if Your Majesty could bestow upon this junior a title!”

the primordial being said again.

“Since you are the number one being in this universe, I will bestow upon you Yuan…”

The Dharma Image was about to speak when it seemed to sense something in the darkness and changed its tone.

“You shall be called Yuan Chu!”

“Yuan Chu… Thank you, Dao Lord!”

the primordial being murmured to itself, then respectfully bowed.

At the same time, the Dharma Image’s figure also dissipated.

Looking at the scene before him that had returned to nothingness, if it weren’t for the lingering terrifying pressure and the supreme Daoist aura in his sea of consciousness, Yuan Chu would have even thought that everything he had just experienced was an illusion.

“Seven Profound Dao Lord!”

he murmured to himself, his eyes filled with even greater awe.

All along,

Yuan Chu had believed himself to be the strongest being.

But only now did he realize that he had been like a frog in a well, looking at the sky from a bottom of a well.

There are heavens beyond heavens.

He was not the strongest being.

The Seven Profound Dao Lord possessed unfathomable strength; such an existence could kill him with a mere thought.

Realizing this, Yuan Chu calmed down.

…

Meanwhile.

Outside.

In the Cangyun Immortal Mansion.

Shen Changqing’s divine sense had left that universe. He then looked at the Soul-Destroying Sword in his sea of consciousness. Just now, the Soul-Destroying Sword, which had been quite quiet, suddenly showed some unusual activity.

This change naturally startled Shen Changqing.

With a slight thought, the blood-red immortal sword trembled slightly, a terrifying killing intent flickering within it, as if it wanted to break free of his control.

But after a moment, the Soul-Destroying Sword quieted down again.

Looking at the immortal sword in his hand, Shen Changqing’s expression shifted slightly.

“Senior Jiuye—”

The Soul-Destroying Sword was left behind by Jiuye. The fact that it was now causing such a disturbance suggested a connection to Jiuye.

But alas,

such a being was beyond his current comprehension.

The changes in the Soul-Destroying Sword were also beyond his understanding.

Now, with the Soul-Destroying Sword returning to calm, Shen Changqing was unsure what had happened.

For the rest of the time, Shen Changqing paid no attention to the changes in the Twelve Heavens, focusing solely on the Soul-Destroying Sword.

This treasure, after less than half a year of calm, violently trembled again, a terrifying killing intent permeating the entire Immortal Mansion. Shen Changqing seemed to glimpse something within it.

This disturbance continued for a hundred years without ceasing.

Shen

Changqing suspected that

Jiuye was likely experiencing some great battle, which was why the Soul-Destroying Sword reacted in this way. That’s why

Shen Changqing had been so focused on the Soul-Destroying Sword at the beginning.

But as a hundred years passed, he gradually adapted to these changes.

“If the strange movements of the Soul-Destroying Sword are truly related to Senior Jiuye, I wonder what kind of being he is fighting against!”

Shen Changqing’s expression was solemn.

Jiuye’s strength was unfathomable; he was the strongest among all the powerful beings he had ever seen, without exception.

Back in the Purple Sun Domain, even that extremely powerful monster was easily suppressed and killed by him.

If such a being was truly fighting a mysterious expert, and they hadn’t been able to determine a winner for over a hundred years, then that would be quite terrifying.

However,

these were all just Shen Changqing’s speculations; he had no idea what the specifics were.

Moreover ,

even if that were the case, it was beyond the reach of a cultivator of his level.

…

Three hundred years!

Five hundred years!

One thousand years!

Ten thousand years! One

hundred thousand years!

…

The Soul-Destroying Sword trembled more and more violently, showing signs of slipping out of his grasp several times, but it seemed to be suppressed by a force, never truly leaving.

Until this day.

A sword cry came from the chaos, resounding throughout the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.

All cultivators across the Immortal Continents, regardless of their cultivation level or location, felt a jolt in their souls.

In that instant,

many ancient beings awakened, looking towards the chaotic void with expressions of astonishment and uncertainty.

“Where does this power come from—”

“When did such a powerful being appear in the chaos?!”

Gazes pierced through the chaos, and supreme divine senses swept across all directions. These ancient beings seemed to be searching for something, but they couldn’t find a trace of it.

At the same time

, as the sword’s cry resounded, the constantly trembling Soul-Destroying Sword suddenly fell silent.

The next moment,

the Soul-Destroying Sword trembled, and a crack appeared imperceptibly on its otherwise intact blood-red blade.

The instant the first crack appeared, a second and a third quickly followed.

In just a short while, the previously undamaged Soul-Destroying Sword was covered with numerous cracks, its massive blade appearing as if it would shatter at the slightest touch.

This scene…

Shen Changqing’s pupils constricted sharply.

Just then,

a powerful and familiar divine sense surged forth from the Soul-Destroying Sword, followed by a vast amount of immortal energy that converged and intertwined with the divine sense.

Finally,

a familiar figure emerged.

“Senior Jiuye!”

Shen Changqing’s expression froze upon seeing the figure before him.

If the Jiuye of the past was unfathomable, the current Jiuye gave off a feeling of weakness.

His body, formed from immortal energy, was like a rootless duckweed, showing signs of dissipating at any moment.

Shen Changqing hadn’t expected him to appear before him in such a way.

At this moment,

Jiuye stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the person before him, his expression as calm as ever.

“We meet again!”

When he uttered these words, his voice held a hint of unprecedented emotion.

Hearing this…

Shen Changqing took a deep breath. He glanced at Jiu Ye before him, then at the cracked Soul-Destroying Sword in his hand, and for a moment, it seemed he had realized something.

At this moment,

Jiu Ye smiled calmly, as if speaking of something insignificant.

“Just as you can see, I am now nothing but a remnant soul!”
