âIs this sword for your use or my use?â Chu Feng asked.
âWe should both be able to wield it,â Eggy said. âCome in here. Letâs try the sword.â
âI⦠donât dare to enter,â Chu Feng replied.
âYou donât dare to? Why?â Eggy was perplexed.
Chu Feng projected his consciousness into his World Spirit Space once more.
Weng!
As soon as his consciousness manifested, the Asura Sword immediately released a suction power to devour his psyche.
âWhatâs wrong, Chu Feng?â
Horrified, Eggy quickly exerted her strength to protect Chu Feng from the Asura Swordâs suction force, but she was unable to stop it with her strength.
âDonât worry, Iâm fine,â Chu Feng replied with a smile before retracting his consciousness.
The Asura Sword returned to normal afterward. Eggy finally understood what Chu Fengâs earlier words meant.
âIs the Asura Sword hindering you from entering your World Spirit Space?â Eggy asked.
âIndeed. Iâm not sure whatâs going on, but the Asura Sword furiously devours my psyche as soon as I project my consciousness in. I canât stop its suction at all. Itâs a relief that the suction stops once I retract my consciousness, or else I would have been in danger,â Chu Feng replied.
âCould it be that the Asura Sword is trying to acknowledge you as its master?â Eggy asked.
âThat would be an overly violent way of acknowledging me as its master?â Chu Feng replied with a helpless smile. He didnât think that was likely.
âLet me give it a try.â
Eggy walked over to the Asura Sword and attempted to grasp its hilt, but as soon as her hand came close to the hilt, the Asura Sword suddenly shuddered.
Boom!
A powerful flood of asura power gushed out and formed a massive hurricane within the Asura Spirit World, sending Eggy flying all around the place.
âUwa!â Eggy cried in horror.
âWhatâs wrong, Eggy?â
Chu Feng hurriedly projected his consciousness into his World Spirit Space, only to witness a terrifying hurricane of asura power spinning around the Asura Sword. Eggy was lying by the corner of his World Spirit Space. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Boom!
As soon as Chu Feng stepped into his World Spirit Space, the Asura Sword withdrew its asura power and released its suction power once more. Even though he was swiftly losing his psyche, he endured the pain and made his way over to Eggyâs side to check on her condition.
Such swift loss of psyche would have been fatal to most world spiritists, but Chu Feng was barely able to hold on.
âIâm fine, Chu Feng, Hurry up and leave!â Eggy exclaimed.
Chu Feng was unconvinced by her words, especially after having witnessed how terrifying the hurricane of asura power was. He didnât think that Eggy could possibly be fine. It was only when he checked on her condition and confirmed that she was truly fine that he finally retracted his consciousness from his World Spirit Space.
Even Chu Feng wouldnât be able to last long with how quickly the Asura Sword was absorbing his psyche. He was also reluctant to allow the Asura Sword to freely absorb his psyche when he hadnât confirmed the situation with it.
âEggy, what happened?â Chu Feng asked.
âYou might be the only one who can use the Asura Sword. It doesnât allow me to get close to it at all. Furthermore, I suspect that the sword is sentient,â Eggy said.
âSentient? How do you know?â Chu Feng asked.
âIt scolded me.â
âScolded you? How did it scold you? I didnât hear anything at all.â
âIt resisted me. Thatâs as good as telling me that Iâm not worthy. Isnât that scolding me?â Eggy replied.
âWellâ¦â Chu Feng was rendered speechless.
âChu Feng, did you sense anything else when it absorbed your psyche? Did the sword try to communicate with you?â Eggy asked.
âNo. I only felt like it was trying to empty me out,â Chu Feng replied.
âThatâs weird. Whatâs its goal?â Eggy examined the Asura Sword close-up in hopes of figuring out its intent, but she was unable to decipher anything at all.
âEggy, what else do you know about this sword? What kind of abilities does it have?â Chu Feng asked.
âI heard that the Asura Sword is so domineering that no one has been able to make it submit before. It is the only one of the three strongest swords that doesnât have a master. As for what kind of abilities it possesses⦠I can only say that thereâs not a single sword in your world of cultivation that can match it. If this is the real Asura Sword, then, Chu Feng, you really earned big,â Eggy said.
Chu Feng fell into deep thoughts.
Regardless of whether the Asura Sword was real or not, it was a big deal to him. Furthermore, the Divine Deer had told him that the Divine Inheritance Groundâs master was very powerful.
The Divine Inheritance Ground had first appeared in the early years of the current era. While no one had managed to decipher it thus far, it was the first guidance provided to the people of the current era, when they had absolutely no knowledge of cultivation or world spiritist techniques.
The appearance of the Asura Demon Tower and the Asura Sword in the trial suggested that this Divine Inheritance Ground was somehow related to the Asura Spirit World.
Nevertheless, Chu Feng still had a few lingering doubts in mind.
If I have really cleared the Divine Inheritance Ground, is the Asura Sword the legacy here? Did my mother receive any benefits or guidance from the Divine Inheritance Ground? Why is the Asura Spirit World helping the world of cultivation?
Most important of all, what happened in the Ancient Era?
âBig brother Chu Feng? Where are we?â Bai Yunqing had regained consciousness.
Chu Feng quickly filled Bai Yunqing in on the situation. He told the latter about how he had entered another realm through the phenomenon, underwent a trial in the Asura Demon Tower, and earned enough Life Crystals to cure Eggy, but he didnât mention the Asura Sword.
It was not that he didnât trust Bai Yunqing, but he didnât think that there was a need to mention it. In the first place, just because he trusted Bai Yunqing didnât mean that he had to divulge all of his secrets to him. He needed his own privacy too.
Besides, some secrets could become a burden too. While Chu Feng and Bai Yunqing were friends, they had their own paths to walk on.
âBig brother Chu Feng, thank you for saving my life. That bastard Shuang Yu actually wanted to kill me. She clearly looks down on my master! Iâll make her pay the price for that in the future!â Bai Yunqing sneered.
He didnât feel regretful just because they failed to decipher all of the secrets of the Divine Inheritance Ground. Their goal here was to cure Eggy, and they succeeded. What bothered him more was Shuang Yuâs actions.
After all, Shuang Yu had framed him and tried to take his life. How could he possibly take that lying?
âWeâll get even with her, but it isnât the time for that yet. Letâs leave this place first,â Chu Feng said.
âBig brother Chu Feng, if you donât have any urgent matters to attend to, thereâs a place Iâd like to head to. Would you like to come with me?â Bai Yunqing asked.
