Transcending the Nine Heavens

CHAPTER 105: Where is the Path of the Sword Master? [Second Update!]

“Why?” Chu Yang was taken aback and stopped in his tracks.

“Because your path... is already different,” the Sword Spirit said with unprecedented seriousness. “If you just want a group of powerful fighters... you can quickly enhance them. However... if you want brothers who will last a lifetime... it’s best not to!”

“Why? Increasing strength... isn't that a good thing?” Chu Yang asked in confusion.

“In short... it’s not good,” the Sword Spirit replied. “This piece of memory has been sealed, so I can’t say exactly what’s wrong. But I have a vague feeling that... it’s best not to. The best approach is still to strengthen the foundation and nurture the origins, improving their potential, allowing them to accumulate power step by step and reach the pinnacle.”

“This is the right path!” the Sword Spirit asserted. “I say these words at the risk of my life... because if you were to... I would have to repeat the fate of the past ninety thousand years...”

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Chu Yang. He looked up at the Sword Spirit.

The Sword Spirit was at a loss for words, hastily covering its mouth, clearly realizing it had said something it shouldn’t.

“Then let’s refine the medicine for strengthening the foundation and nurturing the origins,” Chu Yang said, staring at the Sword Spirit, before slowly speaking.

The Sword Spirit’s face lit up with joy as it nodded repeatedly.

This reminder was indeed a great risk, but it was also the only hope that could be felt! The hope of breaking free from the cycle of destiny!

Therefore, the Sword Spirit didn’t want to let it slip away.

If Chu Yang truly used elixirs to enhance Gu Duxing and the others, it would mean that the Nine Calamity Sword, inadvertently, would leave a mark in their hearts and divine thoughts!

If that happened, Chu Yang would only repeat the old path of the generations of Nine Calamity Sword Masters!

Chu Yang’s face was calm, but his heart surged with turbulent waves!

“I will also repeat the fate of the past ninety thousand years!” The Sword Spirit's words sent chills down Chu Yang’s spine.

When the Nine Calamity Sword emerged, the world changed instantly; the Nine Heavens changed hands, and the nine great clans were reduced to ashes, replaced by new nine great clans.

So... why nine great clans and not five? Certainly not ten? Why nine?

Did this nine relate to the nine of the Nine Calamity Sword?

Moreover, there was another point: the Nine Calamity Sword, every time it appeared, hid for ten thousand years in different places! That is to say... buried for ten thousand years.

Then, how long did the last Nine Calamity Sword Master take from obtaining the Nine Calamity Sword to unifying the Nine Heavens...? This time surely wasn’t very long, at most just a few hundred years...

But then the Nine Calamity Sword disintegrated again, burying itself for another ten thousand years... So, where did that Nine Calamity Sword Master go?

All these thoughts chilled Chu Yang’s back, and a sense of dread spread through him! It was as if an enormous net was invisibly closing in on him from all directions.

No way to escape!

Just like the fate dictated by heaven's way, the heavenly principle was clear!

The path of the nine calamity sword master was like the path of life. It lay before him: whether you move or not, you will grow old. Whether you move or not, you will walk the path of the nine calamity sword master!

You may do everything solely for yourself, entirely for your own selfish reasons; but all the things you do, when added together, inadvertently align with another path that heaven had long prepared for you!

This is divine will!

When Chu Yang obtained the Nine Calamity Sword, he encountered the death of Mo Qingwu! He didn’t want Mo Qingwu to die, so he could only reverse destiny. To reverse destiny, he must go to Iron Cloud, and to Iron Cloud, he must face Diwu Qingrou. A war between the two nations, millions of lives suffering...
