Chapter 2307: Chapter 2312: Blessing in Disguise
It is precisely because the Originator mentioned this matter that Wanfa’s heart was slightly calmed.
"The Taiqing Sword is the Divine Artifact of one of the Three Pure Ones Daoist Ancestor. It once slew thirty thousand demons with a single strike. Even if its divine brilliance is gone, it remains an unmatched Spiritual Artifact in the world, not something easily destroyed."
The Originator was full of confidence.
The Taiqing Sword was not seen at the scene.
It must be because Xia Liu escaped!
When the residual might dissipated, Long Yang had left the spot to check the surroundings.
His purpose was likely to see if Xia Liu still existed in the Mortal World.
"Haha! Thinking like that, it does make a lot of sense!"
Wanfa finally laughed out loud.
He had overlooked this minor detail.
As the Divine Blade of the Taiqing Daoist Ancestor, how could it break so easily?
Even if broken, some fragments would surely remain.
No fragments of the Taiqing Sword were seen at the scene.
There is only one possibility, Xia Liu escaped!
"But I still can’t be sure if Xia Liu escaped on his own or if there was a strong one assisting."
"I’m afraid it was his own doing, that explosion wasn’t something even a Spirit Transformation Peak would fare well against. If a strong one indeed appeared, we would also be able to sense it."
The Originator nodded in response, "If it was Xia Liu himself, then he must be severely injured now and possibly healing in some remote location."
"Hmm, I believe so too. Just wait. Someday, he will reappear gloriously in the world!"
Wanfa looked up to Cloudsky, "By then, the Long Family of the Eastern Realm will cease to exist!"
At this time, within the Eastern Realm Alliance, after learning of Xia Liu’s demise.
Everyone lamented in secret.
"Chairman Xia fell due to his personal grievances. You need not feel any emotions. Focus on your work. Within ten years, a new chairman will come to take over this place."
Just as He Xiucai and the others were downcast.
An icy, authoritative voice entered their ears.
They looked up, surprised to see a pure white lotus floating in the void.
"Greetings, Empress!"
Realizing the visitor’s identity, all the cultivators of the alliance, led by He Xiucai, clasped their fists and saluted.
"Hmm, continue with your important tasks as before. Chairman Xia, if he were here, would not want you to be so disheartened."
After speaking, the White Lotus Incarnation gradually dimmed.
"Xia Liu, you ultimately couldn’t keep it hidden. Even with Bai Jue assisting you in secret, you could not have survived the impact of that explosion!"
The Empress’s heart was finally at ease.
The Remnant Soul of Bai Jue, which she controlled, was also completely settled.
This symbolized the complete annihilation of Bai Jue’s Main Soul.
With another hundred years of effort, all of Bai Jue’s souls would be refined.
By then, that would be his final demise!
In a dark void space.
Xia Liu slowly opened his eyes.
Everything around was unknown.
He had no idea where he was.
Sitting cross-legged beside him was a handsome young man.
"Is this the Netherworld??"
Xia Liu still remembered the moment when Long Yang’s Lifebound Spirit Weapon exploded.
At that moment, all he saw was light, nothing else.
His consciousness fell into a blank.
Under the explosion of that power.
He had no chance to survive at all.
"Netherworld? It doesn’t exist."
Suddenly, the sitting young man spoke.
"You are Elder Bai!"
Seeing the young man’s face clearly, Xia Liu was excited.
This was the appearance Bai Jue took when he obtained a bit of Soul Power from the Three Pure Ones Sage in the Three Pure Ones Mausoleum Chamber!
"Yes."
Bai Jue smiled slightly, proving Xia Liu was still alive.
"Where is this place?"
"Inside the Taiqing Sword."
"Huh? How am I here?"
Xia Liu was a bit dumbfounded.
Does this mean that his physical body was already shattered?
"When that Supreme-Grade Spirit Artifact absorbed the Immortal Sword Might and exploded, I used a Divine Skill, leveraging the fragmenting power of the Spirit Artifact to enter the Otherworldly Space, channeling your soul into the Taiqing Sword as a means of protection."
Bai Jue explained.
"I see, then where will I go after entering the Otherworldly Space?"
If stuck in the Otherworldly Space, it would be troublesome.
The environment there was not survivable for humans.
"I’m not sure either. That Forbidden Technique uses the ethereal realm to escape, then waits for the space to shatter randomly for your body to be placed randomly."
Bai Jue couldn’t answer.
As it was his first time employing this technique.
"What if the Taiqing Sword and my body are not together?"
"Rest assured, when that power exploded, the Taiqing Sword had already shattered, its essence merged into your body. If your body is shattered, this essence will absorb your remains and reform into the Taiqing Sword."
"Huh? In the future, can I still use the Taiqing Sword? The Divine Artifact of Sage Taiqing was also shattered by that power?"
Xia Liu was thoroughly shocked.
Without the Taiqing Sword, he lost a super trump card.
For someone who could crush opponents of the same level and fight across levels, it was a tremendous loss.
"Actually, when I first entered the Taiqing Sword in North Cool County, I already discovered that it wasn’t what it used to be. The only reason it remained intact until now, aside from my Soul Power, was the last effort of the original Sword Spirit."
Bai Jue revealed the secrets of the Taiqing Sword.
In fact, when sealed within the Kunwu Realm, the Taiqing Sword was already a damaged item.
The Sword Spirit inside had persisted for tens of thousands of years due to Sage Taiqing’s consciousness.
The Spirit’s power was sustaining the Taiqing Sword, so it didn’t have the energy to communicate with Xia Liu or let him sense its presence.
"Once you recover, you can reforge the Taiqing Sword using your Essence, and it will truly become your Lifebound Spirit Weapon. As your strength grows, so too will the sword’s might, potentially surpassing the original Taiqing Divine Artifact."
This explosion indeed provided Xia Liu a chance to fully integrate with the Taiqing Sword.
With loss comes gain.
"Will the Taiqing Sword forged with my Essence be as powerful as before?"
"It seems you didn’t understand my words earlier. The previous Taiqing Sword was powerful due to my Soul Power and the remaining strength of the Sword Spirit. The new Taiqing Sword’s might is likely to surpass the past!"
"Hmm? Is it that miraculous?"
Xia Liu was somewhat excited.
Does it mean, taking this opportunity, the Taiqing Sword would be upgraded!
"Originally, it would have been impossible, but when the Taiqing Sword shattered, I used a Secret Technique to preserve the power of the Sword Spirit. Once you reform the blade and merge this residual power, won’t it be the same as before? Moreover, forged with your Essence, the might will likely be greater!"
Bai Jue was uncertain about how far Xia Liu’s Lifebound Spirit Weapon would reach after regaining his strength.
But it certainly wouldn’t be weaker than the previous Taiqing Sword.
"Haha! In that case, I’ve really turned disaster into a blessing this time!"
Xia Liu laughed.
With this trump card, the Long Family’s end was near!
"Don’t be too happy yet; the damage to your body is beyond imagination. Also, I sense that we have already left the Otherworldly Space and entered a non-human domain..."
