The Birth of Sword God-Chapter 249 - 216: I Am the Sword!

Chu Yinyin is truly afraid that Chu Huaixu might breakthrough all the way to the Third Realm.

By then, without any subsequent cultivation techniques, it would be troublesome.

Xiang Yan frowned and said, "At present, it shouldn’t be the case."

"But it’s best to be prepared; better safe than sorry."

"Sixth Junior Brother, please make another trip to the Library Pavilion."

"As for the Heavenly and Earthly Treasures needed to cultivate the third volume of the Dao Scripture, the Treasure Pavilion should have them all. As for the contribution points, well, we will... we will..."

The Sect Leader, who is exceptionally stingy with personal assets, began to lay the groundwork.

He said "we will" several times, finally deciding: "We all share equally."

"Alright, I’ll go fetch them, although they probably won’t be needed." Li Chunsong immediately vanished.

In fact, in terms of body technique, he truly is the foremost among the disciples of this generation at Junzi Temple.

Moreover, his Domain is actually related to body technique.

A gambler, of course, needs to practice running away.

When he flew back, Xiang Yan and others told him, "It seems now it won’t be needed."

After Chu Huaixu reached the Second Realm Seventh Heaven, he didn’t continue to breakthrough.

This undoubtedly led Li Chunsong to be ecstatic and secretly delighted!

Counting the breakthrough from First Realm Great Perfection to entering the Second Realm, he broke through eight layers continuously!

From Level 19 to Level 27, isn’t that exactly 8 levels?

"I won again?"

"No, it’s I who won again!"

Li Chunsong began imitating Zhao Shuqi earlier, cupping his fists to everyone, saying: "Lucky! Lucky!"

But he was too proud and couldn’t help but show off:

"Chu Huaixu was brought up the mountain by me, so I naturally know him the best!"

...

...

Inside the Training Room, the feeling of imminent explosion within Chu Huaixu finally subsided.

Spiritual Qi was almost completely depleted, but the lingering pain, like being slashed a thousand times, had not yet dissipated.

"The experience points brought by the Origin Fragment are all spent, and I additionally spent 60,000 points stored in the panel."

——Remaining available experience points: 710,000.

Next, I’ll refine that strand of Power of Origin.

"According to what Jiang Zhi said earlier, I will soon fall into my ’Heart Lake.’"

"But, what does ’falling into Heart Lake’ mean?"

Jiang Zhi couldn’t give a definite answer either.

He said everyone’s experience is different, and what they see varies too.

The reason for remaining conscious during refinement is because one might encounter their own obsessions or even heart demons.

When Chu Huaixu heard him say this, his expression seemed to change.

He guessed this Junior Martial Uncle had quite an unbearable past refining Power of Origin back then.

Soon, Chu Huaixu entered an incredibly mystical state.

He felt like he was continuously falling, falling.

Before him was chaos, nothing could be seen.

When he could finally see everything clearly, he found himself sitting cross-legged on a surface of lake water.

Strangely, he could simply sit directly on the water.

Obviously, this was not a lake in the true sense.

Soon, he seemed to hear crying sounds nearby.

Then, Chu Huaixu felt a warm breeze?

It brushed over his body, enveloping him entirely, bringing a warmth that felt both familiar and slightly alien.

He couldn’t help but immerse in it, feeling a sense of peace and wanting to become intimate with the breeze.

He even felt a sense of blood connection with it.

Or perhaps, they once were connected.

This is...

"Mom?" wondered Chu Huaixu.

The next moment, the breeze held him tighter.

...

...

Sitting cross-legged on the Heart Lake, Chu Huaixu was surrounded by the warm breeze, causing gentle ripples on the lake.

This feeling was so familiar.

The man who was drunken and rude would hit and kick him whenever he was in a bad mood, and at those times, a woman would fiercely protect him, just like the warm breeze enveloping him, holding him tight.

He was terrified, his heart racing.

She was scared too, fearing he would get hurt, her heart racing alongside.

The youth shrinking in her embrace seemed to always hear his own fearful heartbeats and her strong heartbeats.

Chu Huaixu didn’t know what the current situation was.

He just knew that throughout these years, there had been many things he wanted to say to this woman.

Yet, there was no longer a chance.

"I always promised to call you more, but never did."

"Habitually deceiving you, like when I was young."

"Sorry, Mom, for every harsh word. I always regretted it afterward."

The ripples on the Heart Lake intensified.

Strangely, Chu Huaixu unexpectedly became quite sentimental.

Clearly, it was just a breeze.

Simply a warm breeze.

He sat on the lake’s surface, feeling the familiar warmth.

It felt like only moments had passed, but outside, three days had gone by.

...

...

In the coming times, Chu Huaixu sat on the Heart Lake and experienced many things.

He would suddenly see a butterfly.

He would watch a big fish eating a small fish.

Feel suddenly cold at the back, then suddenly pained.

Time swiftly passed, and outside, a whole month had passed.

But for him, it seemed like only a short moment had passed.

These things that suddenly appeared seemed to symbolize something.

Even Chu Huaixu could discern it at a glance.

Perhaps it was a girl from his school days, perhaps it was a terrible leader, perhaps it was a friend who betrayed him...

But that warm wind was always there.

Until that warm wind disappeared, he inexplicably began to feel a bit restless.

On the Heart Lake, the surface grew increasingly unsettled.

He saw mosquitoes and flies on the water.

They buzzed and came towards him, biting him wantonly.

Yet, Chu Huaixu could not move, so he let them bite him.

And the buzzing sound gradually turned into endless curses. Each bite hurt to the extreme, like punches and kicks, like being hit with sticks.

His extremely high pain threshold seemed to vanish.

"Oh, it turns out that bastard has come."

The Heart Lake started to churn with wave after wave of increasingly violent splashes!

But inexplicably, Chu Huaixu only felt a bit lonely.

Just like how he was sitting cross-legged on the Heart Lake at this moment, floating on the water, as if a rootless duckweed.

He didn’t know where he should go, nor did he know where he should return.

This lasted for a long, long time, until suddenly a cold wave rose around him.

"Hu—!"

"Chu Huaixu." He faintly heard a cool voice.

A layer of frost began to appear on his body.

The frost covered the mosquitoes and flies, freezing them instantly, killing them, so they no longer buzzed, and they fell into the lake.

Then, almost in an instant, the angry and violent waves disappeared, and the Heart Lake was covered in ice.

A frost spread across the entire frozen Heart Lake.

He was frozen stiff, but the pain in his body also disappeared.

In that moment, he began to know where he should go and where he should return.

Chu Huaixu did not feel cold.

He only felt that after the lake surface froze, sitting on it seemed more solid.

"So, in my Heart Lake, you are a frost."

...

...

Forty-five days passed like this.

Jiang Zhi would come to the Training Room every day to check on Chu Huaixu and assess his condition.

In addition, he would force a Grain Avoidance Pill into this guy’s mouth every day....

To prevent him from starving to death.

"I wonder what he has seen?" Jiang Zhi was somewhat curious.

His own "falling into the Heart Lake" was something he was unwilling to recall.

"Chu Huaixu’s heart demon probably isn’t very severe, right?" he speculated internally.

But he was different. His obsession and heart demon still hadn’t dissipated.

There was no way; Jiang Zhi’s Origin Fragment was stained with the blood of many people!

All were the blood of those closest to him!

On the Heart Lake, he was always killing.

Kill! Kill! Kill!

Never stopping.

Chu Huaixu, on the other hand, saw many interesting things.

For example, Xiaoxu was actually a frog on a lotus leaf.

Every time the frog croaked, he would hear a voice by his ear: "Senior Brother—!"

The frog kept croaking on the lotus leaf, and he kept hearing, "Senior Brother! Senior Brother!"

In fact, he had long noticed something.

Xu Ziqing would always use surnames when calling other sect members, including calling Han Shuangjiang as Senior Sister Han.

Yet only for Chu Huaixu, it was always simply—"Senior Brother."

Chu Huaixu didn’t know why there would be lotus leaves and frogs there in the frozen lake.

He gradually understood that the "passersby" who left his life would gradually disappear from the Heart Lake.

Those who kept him company would persist.

However, they took different forms.

For instance, Elder Nangong Yue was a soft cloud.

Li Chunsong was a fly rubbing its hands incessantly on another lotus leaf.

He saw many things, all sorts of shapes and sizes.

Over time, a question finally emerged in Chu Huaixu’s heart.

——He did not see himself.

As soon as this thought popped up, everything on the Heart Lake disappeared in an instant!

It was as though he returned to the beginning.

He simply sat alone on the surface of the lake.

But the surface of the lake seemed to have changed.

It became....

——a mirror?

This mirror was so familiar.

After Chu Huaixu glanced at it, he immediately remembered what it was! His heart was slightly astounded.

So that’s it, so that’s it!

"This is a Profound Yellow Origin Fragment!"

The Profound Yellow Origin Fragment he obtained in the Origin Spirit Realm was indeed the mirror!

Moreover, it was strange. Though only the size of a fingernail, it could reflect everything around.

Previously, when Chu Huaixu looked down at the Heart Lake’s surface several times, he couldn’t see himself.

During this time, despite seeing so many images, he saw everything but himself.

So, now?

Chu Huaixu began to slightly lower his head and looked into the mirror.

——He saw a sword.
