“Master, a strand of Primeval Qi can allow us to surpass our previous peak and take a step further, becoming even more powerful,” Zi Ying said with burning desire .
Nothing in the world could resist the temptation of becoming even more powerful, whether they be the many cultivators or innate spirits like the sword spirits .
Jian Chen was surprised inside . The sword spirits were an extremely powerful existence at their prime . The fusion of the twin swords possessed devastating power . If they could take a step further than that, just how great would they become?
Since the Primeval Qi would be so useful to the sword spirits, Jian Chen became interested . He was tempted to obtain it immediately . The sword spirits had already accepted him as their master . If the sword spirits became even more powerful, his battle prowess would indirectly increase as well .
Jian Chen sucked in a deep breath and slowly calmed himself down . He stared at the hall spirit with mixed feelings and said in thought, “Actually, removing your curse isn’t anything difficult at all . All you need is a Grand Exalt, an existence akin to a Saint, to take action, and it should be enough to easily nullify the curse of another Saint . If you’re willing, I can find a way to find an expert like that for you . ”
Jian Chen began to think about how he could obtain the strand of Primeval Qi after learning just how useful it was to the sword spirits .
He did not dare to think about collecting ten droplets of essence blood from Grand Primes because such a matter was completely impossible to accomplish . Even in the distant future, he would not be able to do something like that .
Even though finding a Grand Exalt was almost impossible as well, it was much easier than collecting ten droplets of essence blood .
Jian Chen considered finding a Grand Exalt to remove the curse that kept the artifact spirit bound in exchange for the strand of Primeval Qi .
After all, these were only a handful of Grand Exalts in the current Saints’ World . With his current strength, meeting an expert like that would not be easy, so he was not going overboard by offering that in exchange for the Primeval Qi .
Moreover, he believed that once a Grand Exalt discovered the existence of the Primeval Divine Hall, they would definitely take personal action with its value .
After all, the Primeval Divine Hall was a god artifact on par with the twin swords .
However, Jian Chen’s words seemed to have touched the hall spirit’s soft spot . His eyes immediately became piercing as he stared at Jian Chen viciously . He said coldly, “Brat, it’s best if you don’t do that, or I will never spare you even if the yin and yang Qi are protecting you . ”
Jian Chen immediately frowned when he saw the hall spirit’s violent reaction and heard his threats . He stared at the old man before him . He was unable to tell what the artifact spirit was thinking .
“Primeval Qi, the method mentioned by my master is indeed the only method to free you quickly,” the sword spirits said in displeasure .
The artifact spirit said coldly, “I’ve already considered that . If I really wanted to do that, I would have been free long ago . Why would I still be trapped here today?”
“It’s just that once a Saint learns of my existence, I won’t be able to avoid the fate of accepting them as my master . I don’t want to yield to anyone else after my master’s death, even if they’re the strongest Saint in the world…”
Jian Chen’s expression immediately became strange when he heard that . He felt that this artifact spirit was far too different . He was clearly an artifact spirit, yet he also wanted unconditional freedom .
The sword spirits stared at the artifact spirit with mixed feelings . They said, “But you’re still an artifact spirit in the end . The reason for an artifact spirit’s existence is to stand with its master . It’s basically impossible for you to avoid this fate . Even if you can avoid it for some time, it won’t last forever . You’ll be sensed by the sovereigns of the world sooner or later once you break free and appear in the outside world . ”
“Hmph, that’s not for you to worry about . ” The artifact spirit snorted coldly, “Ten droplets of a Saint’s blood for a strand of Primeval Qi that can make your even more powerful . Are you willing to make the deal or not? I know you’re very weak right now, and you can’t collect Saint’s essence blood, but you’re innate spirits transformed from yin and yang Qi after all . You’ll possess that ability someday in the future . ”
“Primeval Qi, if you want the ten droplets of essence blood, you should be asking our master, not us,” replied the sword spirits .
“Your master?” The artifact spirit glanced at Jian Chen and studied him . He showed some scorn and said, “Him? Although I have no idea why you would choose him as your master, I definitely don’t think he’ll have the ability to collect ten droplets of essence blood for me in the future . ”
“Although he already has a droplet of a Saint’s essence blood within him, I can also sense that the essence blood comes from a Saint from the aeon before the last one and not this aeon . The only reason he possesses it is luck . Luck like that won’t accompany him forever . ”
The artifact spirit suddenly paused, and his face became rather strange . He continued, “Are you trying to say to wait for your master to become a Saint in the future?”
Before the sword spirits could reply, the artifact spirit sneered and said, “If that’s really what you’re thinking, I can only tell you that you’re far too naive . I know the amount of difficulties and the amount of setbacks on the path to becoming a Saint far better than the two of you . ”
“During the aeon when my master stood supreme, the path to becoming a Saint was also known as a path of bones . The reason why it’s called that is because every single Saint only arrived where they were by crossing over skeletons after skeletons . The creation of every Saint comes at the cost of countless corpses, the deaths of countless prodigies . ”
“Your master might have some ability as a current prodigy, but he might just become a stepping stone for other prodigies in their paths to becoming Saints in the future . ”
“If you want me to place my hopes on your master, that only seems like a waste of time to me . ”
The artifact spirit argued . He did not try to hide his disdain towards Jian Chen at all .
Although he was an artifact spirit, he originated from a strand of Primeval Qi . He had his pride . Even Grand Exalts would struggle to make him yield, let alone Jian Chen who was only a Godking right now .
The artifact spirit’s scorn towards Jian Chen angered the sword spirits very much . Qing Suo immediately snorted coldly, “Our master is nowhere near as ordinary as you’ve described him to be . Primeval Qi, open your eyes and take a good look . ”
“Hmph, you still think so? Alright then, let me see where your confidence comes from,” the artifact spirit did not take the sword spirits’ words too seriously . However, he still studied Jian Chen earnestly .
However, when he did so, his face immediately changed drastically . As if he had been frightened, he could not help but stumble backwards . Even his illusionary body condensed from azure light flickered violently and almost collapsed .
