The Birth of Sword God-Chapter 87 - 84: A Gentleman Uses Things, Not Is Used by Things

Chapter 87: Chapter 84: A Gentleman Uses Things, Not Is Used by Things

In the Daoist Hall, silence reigned.

The scene before them was beyond everyone’s expectations.

This... could this still be a Sword Attendant?

After a long pause, the Fifth Elder, Zhao Shuqi, squinting, finally couldn’t help but speak, repeating:

"The gentleman uses things, not to be used by things?"

Obviously, the same sentence, when he spoke, his tone was different from Chu Huaixu’s hysterical roar.

The hearts of these great cultivators, with deep cultivation, began to stir with waves.

On the Gentleman Stele at the Hidden Spirit Mountain, next to that unparalleled sword, such a sentence had appeared!

Even though the characters on the stele were so ugly, they had used their divine sense to "look" at it again and again, yet the waves in their hearts remained unending.

"Could it be that Junior Martial Uncle really found the wrong person, could this really be the Sword Attendant spoken of in the Daoist Ancestor’s Proverbs?" The Law Enforcement Elder, Lu Pan, couldn’t help but speak, expressing doubt.

"Yes, this completely goes against the path!" Nangong Yue replied.

She was just so shocked that her mountain trembled like the Hidden Spirit Mountain.

Chu Yinyin, daring and outspoken, said: "We can’t figure it out now, anyway, in the current situation, either the Dao Ancestor was wrong, or Junior Martial Uncle was wrong!"

Her words, no one dared to follow.

Then, met with yet another remark from the Law Enforcement Elder: "Junior Martial Sister, be cautious with your words!"

The slightly older young lady pouted, huffed lightly, and decided not to speak!

"A gentleman uses things, not to be used by things." Sect Leader Xiang Yan had been quietly repeating this sentence.

After a while, Xiang Yan couldn’t help but quietly speak, questioning his own heart:

"Perhaps, we really shouldn’t place all our hopes for salvation on a single sword?"

Especially since it’s an Evil Sword.

With this comment, the Daoist Hall fell into prolonged silence again.

....

....

At the foot of the Hidden Spirit Mountain, Li Chunsong narrowed his eyes, speechless for a long time.

Chu Huaixu was transported down by the teleportation array.

As soon as he landed, he felt dizzy, his vision going black.

Even though he had just leveled up again, he had stayed under the cover of spiritual pressure for too long, pushing against it to engrave words. At this moment, slightly relaxing, he was about to collapse.

The Sixth Elder waved his sleeve, saying, "Rest for a moment."

A cool and mysterious stream of air descended upon him, and Chu Huaixu fell into a deep slumber.

"In such poor condition, yet still able to persist, this boy truly has a Dao heart as firm as a rock, so stubborn!" he remarked.

Chu Huaixu, wrapped in spiritual power, slowly lay down.

Han Shuangjiang immediately went to check on his condition, crouching beside him.

She looked up and asked, "Sixth Elder, is he okay?"

"Hmm, his self-healing ability is quite peculiar, he’ll be fine after some rest." he replied.

This same person who had previously criticized as using Evil Skills quickly changed his tune, praising greatly: "No wonder it’s the Dao Scripture transmitted by the Dao Ancestor!"

This left the Big Ice Cube stunned, wondering inwardly, "Does the Dao Scripture have such effects? How come I’ve never heard about it?"

Even though everyone used the words "Central Justice and Peace" to describe the Dao Scripture, all knew that this cultivation technique was actually quite ordinary.

Li Chunsong looked down at Chu Huaixu, unable to resist sighing, "Shuangjiang, do you know what words this boy inscribed on top of the mountain at the Gentleman Stele?"

"Disciple does not know, Elder, please inform," she immediately asked with great curiosity.

The Sixth Elder’s voice deepened, saying, "A gentleman uses things, not to be used by things!"

Han Shuangjiang seemed to understand somewhat, but still appeared somewhat confused.

Li Chunsong looked at her with a smile and said, "The sword left by the Dao Ancestor on the mountain, they wanted to harness it. He merely needed to take it down to gain part of its power, yet he refused."

This time, the Big Ice Cube thoroughly understood, couldn’t help but slightly lower her gaze, giving a deep look at the sleeping Chu Huaixu.

For some reason, she thought: "He truly is the kind of person who would do such a thing."

Reflecting inwardly, she knew she couldn’t do it.

If given the chance to be chosen by the sword, she wouldn’t want to become a slave to the sword either.

Because Han Shuangjiang’s initial motivation for cultivation was to control her own destiny!

But to do something as recklessly youthful as Chu Huaixu, she feared she could not.

With this thought, the girl of a cold disposition suddenly wanted to laugh a bit.

"So this was the reason for rushing up the mountain with such urgency?"

"You really are one to ’avenge the smallest grievance.’" she thought to herself.

Li Chunsong took a look at the young man and woman and said, "I’ll send you two back first, you should take care of him for now."

"Yes, Sixth Elder," Han Shuangjiang received the order.

She was already somewhat used to taking care of this dead fox.

As for the gambling dog, he knew he should now return to the hall to discuss major affairs with everyone.

Of course, before that, he had to collect all the winnings from the bets!

...

...

As night fell, the sky turned dark.

Chu Huaixu slowly awoke in his bedroom.

Sitting by the wooden table, playing with the [Zhegu Heaven], the Big Ice Cube acted like a young girl with a new toy, occasionally touching here, occasionally drawing the sword.

She saw him wake up and immediately put down the Spirit Sword, as if nothing had happened.

After Li Chunsong sent them back, he also helped Han Shuangjiang with some spells, watching her blood-recognize the owner of [Zhegu Heaven], and channel her Lifebound Skill to transform it into her Lifebound Magical Treasure.

The Spirit Sword, after recognizing its owner, was no longer as sycophantic as it was on the mountain.

"You’re awake and must be hungry. Should I cook now?" The cool and aloof girl immediately stood up and said.

"Yes, I’m indeed exhausted and hungry," Chu Huaixu responded.

"Alright, I’ll do it right away." Han Shuangjiang immediately walked out of the bedroom.

Watching her graceful silhouette, Chu Huaixu never thought that the strong woman in "Borrowed Sword," who took the female protagonist’s script, was actually quite the virtuous wife and good mother type.

He sat cross-legged and first turned his head to look outside the house.

"Why is that brat still in the Cold Pool, a whole day has passed, and he hasn’t come out?"

"I need to find a time to check; it’s not like he died in the Secret Realm, right?"

"What the hell kind of physique is that, absorbing Body Tempering Liquid for so many days, is there no limit?"

After feeling a pang of envy, Chu Huaixu first opened his Character Panel to inventory his gains from this trip.

"Two tasks, a total of 60,000 Experience Points earned, the second time it wasn’t deducted, the value remained the same."

"Only the two level-ups cost nearly 18,000, leaving over 42,000."

"I won’t continue leveling up tonight; it’s too exhausting." Chu Huaixu decided to catch his breath and not push himself too hard.

In this situation, if he still raced against time to level up, he would suspect his preferences had changed, indoctrinated by "Refining Sword Formulas" and "Dao Scripture"...

He continued to look at the Character Panel, focusing on [Random Attribute Points].

"Lucky, lucky, the second task also granted attribute points!"

Chu Huaixu started feeling regretful because he couldn’t find the opportunity to go uphill again.

— He still wanted to farm!

"If there’s a chance in the future, I’ll go several more times," he thought.

But judging by his understanding of the Task System, it’s not likely to be something he can farm endlessly; there should be a limit on rewards.

At this moment, Chu Huaixu, emulating the gambling addict Li Chunsong’s manner, started rubbing his hands frantically.

"Time to draw the lottery, ultimate luck~~~" he was in a great mood, dispelling the gloom on the mountain.

The familiar big wheel appeared before his eyes; Chu Huaixu had a good mindset.

He’s only in the First Realm now, and all his attributes were still low; whichever way he increased them, he needed it all and could accept everything.

The big wheel began to spin, and finally, the pointer landed on [Comprehension].

"Wow, it actually landed on Comprehension?"

"Nice, nice, time to grow a brain!" He teased himself.

[Comprehension] was equally important for him; if it didn’t level up, many high-tier [Skills] he wouldn’t have the right to learn, and even if learned, there wouldn’t be a way to continue upgrading the skills.

"Looking at it this way, ’Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Root’ is quite peculiar."

"It’s the only Celestial Level Technique without a comprehension threshold, but damn, it requires betting a million Experience Points."

"Tsk, the more I look at it, the more it seems like the system’s a scam."

"But this does match its nature; after all, it’s been a thousand years, and folks still haven’t figured out how exactly to learn it."

Speaking of which, at the moment, [Comprehension] was indeed a necessity for Chu Huaixu.

"The higher the comprehension, the less experience points needed for learning and upgrading skills."

"I haven’t learned any skills yet, so I can save quite a bit."

"Luckily, I wasn’t too hasty before!" He quietly gave himself a thumbs-up.

Next, Chu Huaixu started rubbing his hands again.

"[Comprehension 2], it’s enough for now; [Physique]! Come to me!"

It was clear he was already feeling a bit reckless.

Since he had already embarked on both inner and outer cultivation, refining the body path, what else could he do? Of course, it’s to stack up the [Physique]!

But soon, Chu Huaixu tightened his gaze, his breath involuntarily catching.

"No way, did I really hit a Lucky Strike today?"

The pointer fell into the smallest section of the big wheel.

This is... [Spiritual Embryo Attribute]!

A mystical power began to manifest within him.

Chu Huaixu quickly calmed his mind, allowing himself to enter a meditation state, and then observed his [Spiritual Embryo Secret Collection] and the black Little Sword within his Sea of Consciousness.

A warm current arose within him, bearing some resemblance to when he first swallowed the Profound Celestial Fetal Breath Pill.

They surged first into Chu Huaixu’s limbs and bones, then entirely into the Spiritual Embryo Secret Collection.

After the warm flow was completely absorbed, he suddenly had a vibrant feeling!

The black Little Sword in his Sea of Consciousness, though still a sickly sword, seemed to be in a slightly better state!

This left Chu Huaixu somewhat regretful.

"If I could go up the mountain now, I’m sure I could carve those eight characters on the Gentleman Stele even more beautifully!"

"Besides, the spiritual pressure from the Bronze Sword that I endured would surely be greatly reduced, and I’d absolutely withstand more!"

Taking a long breath, he got up from the bed, his mood elevated.

Chu Huaixu increasingly recognized the formidable nature of the Heart Sword, which would be one of his main reliances.

This night, he finally broke free from the four words of the Lower Grade Spiritual Embryo.

The Heart Sword Spiritual Embryo has reached Middle Grade!
