Chu Yang turned his head and saw at the bottom of the cave the place where the Nine Calamity Sword's hilt was blooming with a misty flower. At this moment, the flower had disappeared, but a round disk had appeared.
It was as smooth as a mirror!
Originally just lying there quietly, but just as Chu Yang was about to leave, it suddenly emitted a faint glow.
Chu Yang was startled and quickly walked over.
The Sword Spirit looked down somewhat disdainfully: Even in this cave, it can't run away. You just tilt your head to see it, and in just four or five steps, you can reach it; yet this guy is striding over as if he’s a dragon walking and a tiger striding!
The Sword Spirit was speechless: You could at least pretend to be cool outside... But there are no outsiders here; what's the point of showing off your grandeur in front of me...
If Chu Yang knew what the Sword Spirit was thinking, he would definitely be enraged enough to dismiss the Sword Spirit immediately!
Damn! I’m not showing off; it's just that there’s a huge attraction over there. The moment I want to go there, it can't wait to pull me in... If I don't stride over, the next moment I might end up being sucked in like a dog eating shit...
I can only helplessly comply.
As Chu Yang walked closer, the disk became even brighter, seemingly excited. Moreover, it kept growing larger.
By the time Chu Yang reached it, the disk had expanded to the size of a large table, lying flat on the ground.
Chu Yang bent down and looked at it, completely confused about what such a disk wanted with him.
He couldn’t help but ask, “Do you need something?”
The Sword Spirit behind him nearly burst out laughing; talking to a disk... even if you were talking to a chicken, at least it's a living being! But you're actually talking to a disk?!
However, in the next moment, the Sword Spirit was suddenly dumbfounded.
The disk actually stood up with a whoosh, standing flat right in front of Chu Yang!
The surface of the disk flickered with light, as if it had heard Chu Yang's question and was greeting him.
Chu Yang's scalp went numb. Damn it, this kind of supernatural event is happening to me for the first time...
Steeling himself, he asked, “Can you understand what I'm saying?”
The disk flashed brightly, flickering on and off.
Chu Yang rubbed his nose, feeling that what he was doing was quite boring: it seemed that this disk could only shine and couldn’t communicate with him.
Just as he was thinking this, the disk suddenly flashed brightly again, actually growing slightly larger.
Then, to Chu Yang's disbelief, the surface of the disk shook violently, creating ripples, and suddenly three blood-red characters appeared.
“Who are you?”
Chu Yang was stunned for a moment, taken aback by this peculiar phenomenon and by the question.
Who am I?
How should I answer this?
Am I human? Am I a man? Or, I am Chu Yang? I am the Nine Calamity Sword Master?...
It seemed that any of these answers had nothing to do with the disk, right?
Chu Yang rubbed his nose, momentarily at a loss for what to decide, feeling a bit conflicted.
Then he saw more characters appear on the disk.
“Do you know Heaven's Gate?”
Chu Yang’s eyes suddenly widened.
Heaven's Gate!
Purple Sky Emperor!
Purple Hero!
Chu Yang suddenly felt a surge of respect.
That hero who fought against otherworldly demons and never forgot to leave behind his last words until his death!
As a junior, I must inherit this legacy. Never forget the battle against otherworldly demons!
Could it be that this disk is somehow related to the Purple Sky Emperor?
Chu Yang stood there dazed, feeling his blood boil.
At that moment, more words appeared on the disk, repeating those two sentences.
“Who are you?”
“Do you know Heaven's Gate?”
“Who are you?”
“Do you know Heaven's Gate?”
...
The two sentences appeared in a monotonous loop, repeating over and over.
Chu Yang took a deep breath. His consciousness entered the Nine Calamity Space; as soon as he entered, he was taken aback!
He saw that the ninety-nine Holy Crystals and that one Divine Crystal had formed a huge circle in the Nine Calamity Space, floating in the air, emitting a purple divine light all around.
