“Everyone can think of this. So, even if the nearest sect is involved, as long as there are celestial-level experts in the sect, they will certainly act!”
The Sword Spirit clearly understood Chu Yang's intentions, so he spoke in great detail, earnestly warning, “Sword Master Lord, this... is a deadly business... With our current strength, even a brush against it could lead to death; just a slight touch could lead to destruction, and even grazing the edge could result in us being shattered into pieces...”
Chu Yang wore a smile that was neither a smile nor a frown, gazing into the night without a word.
“At that time, saints will be everywhere and heavenly beings will be as common as dogs; celestial-level battles will take place in the skies...” The Sword Spirit shivered, “It is very likely that there will even be peerless powerhouses at the sage level lurking nearby... This is a hornet's nest that no one dares to poke!”
As he spoke, the Sword Spirit was nearly in tears.
He deeply understood the temper of this Sword Master Lord: he was undoubtedly a bold character! There was absolutely nothing that could make him hesitant! There was no risk he would shy away from as long as there were benefits worth the risk!
Back when he was barely stronger than an ant on the Nine Heavens Continent, he dared to point at Eastern Emperor Sovereign Snow Tear Cold's nose and curse at him, provided he knew Snow Tear Cold's identity!
What kind of lawless person would shy away from anything?
But the consequences this time were simply too severe, risking total annihilation and irreversible calamity... The Sword Spirit had to persuade him with all his might!
“No one dares to poke the hornet's nest!?” Chu Yang chuckled with interest, casually replying, “If I can use this opportunity to see the heroes of the world... that would indeed be a great fortune.”
It’s over!
The Sword Spirit wailed inwardly; this guy was determined to stick his foot in!
He actually wanted to take this chance to see the heroes of the world?
Heavens, is it really that enticing!?
“We will split into three directions right now to search for the exact location of this ruin.” Chu Yang said with determination, “Even if I have to dig three thousand feet deep, I must find it! Immediately, right now, hurry!”
The Sword Spirit was left speechless, dazed and motionless for a long time. He was utterly stunned.
Brother Tiger leaped up with excitement. “I’m most interested in treasure digging, I’ll go…” and ran off with a wagging tail.
The Sword Spirit sighed heavily and had no choice but to choose the opposite direction to search. He kept muttering to himself: Please don’t let me find it... Please don’t let me find it, please, please, countless times…
Chu Yang floated off, selecting another direction.
The trio—one person, one beast, and one Sword Spirit—spread out perfectly into a balanced triangle.
Chu Yang searched along the way.
On such a mountaintop, his spiritual perception was still somewhat limited, so he was searching within the smallest range. And now, in the deep night, he certainly could not take out the Nine Calamity Sword to dig in a grand manner...
Thus, Chu Yang was merely going through the motions.
His true hope lay with the Sword Spirit and Brother Tiger.
After not walking far, Chu Yang chose a relatively flat and smooth spot to sit down. He planned to take a little break secretly.
But as soon as he sat down, he felt a sudden chill. It seemed like something was wriggling, as if trying to break in...
Chu Yang was horrified and jumped up in a flash, every hair on his body standing on end!
What on earth was trying to get into his... there?
Looking down, he saw the stone he sat on remained perfectly flat and ordinary, just a typical piece of blue stone with nothing unusual.
Furrowing his brows, Chu Yang looked left and right but found no abnormalities.
He tentatively reached out to touch it. Still, there was no reaction whatsoever.
