CHAPTER FOUR: The Secret of the Nine Calamity Sword
The intense longing call arose once again. Chu Yang carefully sensed it, and sure enough, not long after, the dim Nine Calamity Sword within his dantian emitted a powerful call…
It felt like a starving baby, kicking its legs and crying out desperately for milk. Chu Yang broke into a sweat from the bizarre feeling rising within him, completely at a loss as to how such an absurd sensation had come about.
As soon as the thought touched it, the dim shadow of the Nine Calamity Sword exhibited a faint resistance and curiosity, like a baby looking at him with innocent eyes, filled with desire, strangeness, and anticipation…
A wave of inexplicable affection surged within Chu Yang’s heart. He gently enveloped it with his thoughts… This time, the sword shadow only resisted slightly before dropping its defenses.
Through the mental connection, Chu Yang understood where this thing came from!
This was not the Nine Calamity Sword; to be precise, it was the sword soul of the Nine Calamity Sword! Or rather, it was the sword intent!
When he executed the final move of destruction, he had plunged the Nine Calamity Sword into his own heart, nurturing it with his blood, which activated the sword soul. It was essentially the beginning of uncovering the greatest secret within the Nine Calamity Sword…
And it was this activated sword soul that, for some unknown reason, had brought him back to his youthful days!
The last move of the Nine Calamity Sword was already a taboo technique. It meant destruction alongside the enemy, first killing oneself before killing the enemy! Only with such a resolute intention could it be unleashed!
What Chu Yang didn’t know was that this was one of the mysteries of the Nine Calamity Sword!
Every master of the Nine Calamity Sword had only cultivated along the path of swordsmanship; they never gained the sword’s recognition! Because if they completely treated themselves as a sword to cultivate… what would they obtain?
A sword is inherently heartless. Thus, under such compulsion, they would naturally choose the cold-hearted sword path!
Therefore, the masters of the Nine Calamity Sword were merely “sword slaves”! Including Chu Yang’s previous life, he was but a sword slave! A slave to the sword!
It was the sword using people, not the people wielding the sword!
But Chu Yang had executed the final move, sacrificing his heart's blood to shatter the ten thousand calamities!
Except for Chu Yang, no one else who had obtained the Nine Calamity Sword had ever dared to use this move! When their lifespans reached their limits or they were accidentally killed, the Nine Calamity Sword would automatically disintegrate, reverting to its fragment state, scattered across the continent, quietly waiting for its true master, hoping that one day someone would rise to the glorious peak of the Nine Calamity Sword and unlock its truly sacred destiny…
Thus, Chu Yang's reckless final move led to the complete activation of the sword soul, settling into his dantian, and from that moment, the first divine artifact of the Nine Heavens Continent truly had a master!
That was why it accepted Chu Yang so easily.
It could be said that aside from the creator of the Nine Calamity Sword, Chu Yang was the first true master of the Nine Calamity Sword!
Truly, the master of the Nine Calamity Sword.
This was indeed the true rebirth from the depths of death!
From this moment on, Chu Yang clearly realized that he would walk a path entirely different from his previous life!
Now, the sword soul of the Nine Calamity Sword resembled a desperately hungry baby, urgently needing nourishment from the various fragments of the Nine Calamity Sword and the spiritual essence of the world! This intense emotion was also urging Chu Yang to seek out the remnants of the Nine Calamity Sword! To find the nourishment that the Nine Calamity Sword required…
Chu Yang’s mind sank into his dantian, wrapping the dim sword soul with his thoughts, wholeheartedly offering comfort…
