According to the "Book of Jin", during the reign of Emperor Hui of Jin, Zhang Hua was observing the celestial phenona at night and saw a purple aura shining between Dou Su and Niu Su. He then summoned Lei Huan, who was knowledgeable in celestial phenona, to inquire about it.
Lei Huan replied, "The essence of the Divine Sword reaches up to the sky, with its aura piercing through Niu and Dou."
Zhang Hua was delighted and invited Lei Huan to search for the Divine Sword together. Eventually, they dug up a stone box from the foundation of a prison, and inside were two swords with inscriptions on them: one called Dragon Abyss, the other Taia.
Both swords were precisely the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss Sword and Taia Sword forged by the legendary swordsmith Ou Yezi. They were genuinely treasure swords; when they erged, their brilliance pierced through to the sky.
Lin Tian had read ancient texts, which recorded many legends about the Seven Stars Dragon Abyss and Taia, just like the Sword Qi soaring to the sky before his eyes. He used to think the ancients exaggerated, but now he completely understood that it might very well be the truth.
"I have succeeded in forging the treasure sword—it is the pinnacle of my life, and I can die without regret!" Tang Banqing looked up at the purple light shooting into the sky. There was no longer any regret for the Sword Furnace, but rather an expression of excitent, and finally, tears rolled down his cheeks.
Lin Tian felt a slight tremor in his heart. How devoted was this old lady to sword forging? He lanted that he was nothing in comparison.
Ling Shuiyao and Ling Zishan were already captivated by the brilliance of the sword. Ling Zishan was accustod to such sights, but Ling Shuiyao was different; her eyes sparkled with stars, almost longing to hug the sword to her chest.
Only Charlotte’s gaze wasn’t on the sword; instead, she was watching Lin Tian. Her forr arrogance and wild nature seed to have softened unconsciously.
Tang Banqing, caught in the excitent, suddenly rembered sothing and said, "Lin Tian, quickly put away the sword. Whenever a treasure sword appears, its aura reaches the sky, which will inevitably attract many people’s attention, and you could get into a lot of trouble."
"How do I put it away?" Lin Tian hurriedly asked. It wasn’t that he feared others would snatch it, but rather he dreaded the trouble.
Tang Banqing hesitated slightly and then said, "Quenching is clearly not possible... Yes, use your blood to perform a Blood Sacrifice on the sword, quickly!"
Blood? My blood is zombie blood; won’t that cause trouble? Lin Tian hesitated for a mont but had no ti to dwell on the thought. He jumped up to the top of the Sword Furnace, slashing his palm with his nail in a concealed corner, then forced out a drop of blood.
With a fierce throw, the blood fell into the Sword Furnace, onto the sword’s blade. Once the blade touched the zombie blood, it trembled slightly and then absorbed it.
The previously radiant purple light suddenly contracted and disappeared, and the purple light shooting into the Sky was gone too. Lin Tian let out a slight sigh of relief, but he didn’t know that in those few minutes, the unusual phenonon had alard countless Ancient Martial Artists.
Just days ago, Wang Wanxi’s promotion to Innate had caused celestial phenona, alarming many people. It had just cald down, and today there was another phenonon, even more intense.
Whether it was the Situ family, Wang family, or the Yuwen Family, or the Qingshuang Pavilion, they were utterly bewildered. What was happening in Tang City? Consecutive celestial phenona—was the Ancient Martial World turning upside down?
Far away in the Wang family, Wang Yuanzhou was ditating cross-legged in a quiet chamber. On the wooden table in front of him was a rack, and on the rack lay a longsword.
Suddenly, the longsword began to vibrate, emitting a buzzing sound. Wang Yuanzhou opened his eyes, initially puzzled, but quickly realizing sothing, spoke to the sword: "Lifeless, Lifeless, a Divine Sword has a spirit, could it be that another treasure sword has erged in the world?"
In front of him was none other than the Wang family’s guardian treasure, the Lifeless Sword. It seed to respond to Wang Yuanzhou, shaking violently, after which Wang Yuanzhou stood up, gently stroking the scabbard, and the sword cald down. He murmured softly, "Another guardian treasure in the world; who knows if it’s good or bad for the Ancient Martial World..."
anwhile, in a pavilion of the Qingshuang Pavilion, a plaque reading "Sword Pavilion" hung. At the top floor of the Sword Pavilion, the Sword Servant Tang Muling stood by the window. The Green Frost Sword in her hand began to tremble, but she made no reaction, as her attention was focused on a purple light soaring into the distant sky.
In another wooden building of the Qingshuang Pavilion, in the sa quiet room, there was a woman in a plain robe with a large ink painting of "Kunlun Travel" behind her. The woman suddenly opened her eyes, slightly shifted her body, and with a breeze passing through the quiet room, the woman in plain clothes had disappeared.
In the underground sword-forging room of the Nine-story Pagoda, after the purple light disappeared, Lin Tian stood at the top of the Sword Furnace and looked up. Through the channel leading straight to the top of the tower, he could see that a hole had opened in the sky’s black clouds, precisely where the purple light had pierced through. The shape resembled a hole punched through the sky, an extraordinary sight.
Upon examining inside the Sword Furnace, it had completely dimd down, the fuel long burned out and the Earth Fire died back. But these weren’t Lin Tian’s concerns; his concern was that the sword inside the Sword Furnace had disappeared!
"Old Tang, the sword is gone!" Lin Tian shouted from above, wanting the people below to see if it had fallen into so corner of the Sword Furnace.
Old Tang quickly opened the Sword Furnace, with a wave of heat gushing out. After the heat wave diminished slightly, Charlotte and others gathered around to look, but to their astonishnt, the newly forged sword was indeed missing.
"It was here just now, how did it suddenly disappear? Could it have fallen into the Earth Fire Channel?" Ling Shuiyao asked in shock.
"Impossible. When the Sword Furnace was designed, this problem was considered. How could such a rookie mistake have happened?" Tang Banqing imdiately denied.
Although he said so, Lin Tian was worried that the new sword might have fallen into the Earth Fire Channel. In that case, there was no way to retrieve it unless the mountain was excavated—sothing Qingshuang Pavilion would undoubtedly not allow.
Lin Tian suddenly slapped his forehead, ntally cursing himself. Damn, I almost forgot I have X-ray vision!
Ling Shuiyao shook her head repeatedly, thinking, This man has gone mad from losing his sword, even hitting himself.
Lin Tian had no ti for what others thought. He had already activated his super X-ray vision, its gaze instantly penetrating the furnace top and enveloping below.
Such a trivial Sword Furnace was no match for his X-ray vision. But just as his gaze swept halfway, a purple shadow shot out from a corner.
Lin Tian was taken aback. What the heck was that? In that mont of distraction, the purple shadow shot out from the furnace top, entering the Nine-story Pagoda, then through its Glazed Tile Top, vanishing into the rain in an instant!
Purple shadow? Damn, my newly forged sword was purple—that was my sword! Lin Tian fully understood.
Thinking further, his anger spiked upward, and he couldn’t help but curse loudly, "Damn it! Little Ya, you dare betray !"
After saying this, he leaped forward, shooting upward like a rocket through the Nine-story Pagoda, then bursting through the Glazed Tile Top.
"Lin Tian, where are you going?" Ling Shuiyao called out, unable to hold back, seeing Lin Tian jumping, swearing, and finally rushing out.
