Chapter 347: The True Nine Heavens Pavilion [Third Update!]
They were unqualified and eliminated!
Everyone was shocked and horrified!
The issue was that the ‘they’ mentioned by Zixie Qing, who were eliminated, referred to the first eight nine calamity sword masters!
These were the individuals who, since ancient times, were said to be capable of ruling the fate of the Nine Heavens!
If they were unqualified, then who was?
“What it means that they are unqualified is... there will always be one nine calamity sword master who is qualified! But this person has not yet appeared. Perhaps it is the ninth generation nine calamity sword master... or maybe the tenth!”
Zixie Qing said slowly: “I have been in this continent for tens of thousands of years. Back then, I was somewhat curious about this matter. After the nine calamity sword master reorganized the Nine Heavens, I secretly followed that nine calamity sword master to the place of heavenly restoration…”
At this point, everyone's expression turned serious.
What Zixie Qing was about to say would be the greatest secret of being number one in the Nine Heavens!
“I followed that nine calamity sword master and saw that during that period, he seemed to be tormented by something, suffering, and was practically living in hell. He drank every day, suffered every day, and there were times when he wanted to end it all with his own sword! But in the end, he did not die.”
Zixie Qing spoke heavily: “It was clear that he did not want to do that. He was conflicted, he had a conscience, and even wanted to die to put an end to it all. But unfortunately, he could not even die! He was tortured like that for two years!”
Bu Liqing glanced at Chu Yang.
Her gaze was complex.
“During that time, this nine calamity sword master cursed the same person tens of thousands of times!” Zixie Qing said casually.
“Who did he curse?” Bu Liqing asked.
“The person he cursed was the one who created the nine calamity sword!” Zixie Qing said lightly: “Moreover, not only that, during those two years, every time he cursed, he would regret it once!”
“What did he regret?” Chu Yang had a vague feeling in his heart but still asked.
“He kept muttering seven words.”
Zixie Qing raised her eyes to look at the ceiling, speaking word by word: “Regret not... Desperate Lake... sigh! Six words, a sigh!”
“Sigh!” Chu Yang silently sighed, lost in thought.
At this moment, no one knew that a storm of emotions had already surged in Chu Yang's heart!
He felt a mix of relief, pride, satisfaction, and sadness. Zixie Qing did not understand the meaning of these seven words, but as someone who had experienced it firsthand, Chu Yang could completely understand what that nine calamity sword master regretted!
Desperate Lake was indeed the greatest test for the nine calamity sword master in the trials!
If he took a wrong step, then destiny would repeat the cycle of the previous eight generations of nine calamity sword masters! Falling into that irreversible calamity!
It must be that the choice made by that nine calamity sword master at that time was completely opposite to his own, right?
Thus, illusions led to reality! Or rather, the illusions at that time changed with the heart. And the heart determined the final outcome!
Feeling relieved and proud that he had survived the greatest test, in the future, his path would be different from the previous eight nine calamity sword masters. But he felt sorrow for those heroes of nine calamity... they should be as lovable and gallant as Ji Mo and the others, right?
Zixie Qing paused for a moment, and Chu Yang knew she was intentionally leaving him time to think.
Finally, Zixie Qing continued: “This nine calamity sword master was entangled for two whole years... In the end, he still chose to send his brother into the heavenly restoration cave!”
Chu Yang sighed. Bu Liqing and the others also sighed heavily.
The affection of nine calamity was heart-stirring!
This was recognized by the Nine Heavens. But such a hero was sacrificed like this? Truly, where is the heavenly principle?!
