Chapter 378: 378
Previously, when Chi Yao had given the Abyss Ancient Sword to Zhang Ruochen, Zhang Ruochen only knew that it was made of special material and had powerful strength . But he never expected it to be forged out of Natural Divine Iron .
Chi Yao must have made two swords when she first acquired the Natural Divine Iron . One of them had been given to Zhang Ruochen, and the other had been left for herself .
Why would Chi Yao give him such a precious sword?
Was it because of love?
If it was love, then why did she kill Zhang Ruochen with her own hands?
It 's too difficult to understand her thought .
Suddenly, countless thoughts filled Zhang Ruochen's mind . He became even more confused .
Lu Fantian stared at the broken sword in Lu Xuan's hand . He asked her doubtfully, "Girl, you must have seen wrongly! This the Blood Drop Sword?"
"Of course not . "
Lu Xuan rolled her eyes and said, "Legends say that the blade of the Blood Drop Sword used to be as white as polished jade . It contains divine vital essence and could devour blood of humans and savage beasts to raise its grade . Later, the sword turned into a blood-red one for it was stained with the blood of millions of people . Given its strength, once the sword is drawn, blood clouds will appear in the sky that would spread out for tens of thousands of miles . "
Lu Fantian was more confused and asked, "You just said that only Empress Chi Yao had gotten a piece of Natural Divine Iron in the whole Kunlun's Field . But how can there be another sword which was made of Natural Divine Iron? Besides, it's a broken sword . Are you sure you are not mistaken?"
Lu Xuan's fingers gently touched her chin, and she said, "I have some doubts, too . . . However, the material of this broken sword is the same as the Natural Divine Iron that the Canon of Ritual Items described . "
"According to the legend, when Empress Chi Yao cast the Blood Drop Sword, she called upon ten of the best weapon refiners in the Kunlun's Field . It took them 81 days to successfully forge the sword in the Sun and Moon Pool . And the ancestor of our Sword Sanctum was one of the ten weapon refiners . Since that's the case, I'll take the broken sword to see our great-grandfather . Maybe he'll know some secrets . "
Lu Fantian nodded his head and said, "It seems like that would be the best choice for now . "
And then, he turned his eyes to Zhang Ruochen again . He was more curious about Zhang Ruochen's identity,"Was he not a student of the School of the Martial Market or a disciple of the Taiji Doctrine, but an envoy that Empress Chi Yao sent?"
As Lu Xuan was prepared to return to Sword Sanctum with the Abyss Ancient Sword, she suddenly stopped and turned around, asking, "Hey! What's your name? And tell me the poem you said earlier . I'll help you ask . "
"Zhang Ruochen . "
Zhang Ruochen then read out the poem, "No one knows that I'm in the deep forest, only the moon accompanies and sends me light . Thank you, lady . "
"Just call me Lu Xuan! Hehe!"
A silvery laughter rang and then Lu Xuan disappeared in the sacred mountains with a few moves .
Lu Fantian still stood in place, he curiously stared at Zhang Ruochen and asked, "Zhang Ruochen . Why have I never heard this name before? With your power, you shouldn't be unknown . Is this your real name?"
Zhang Ruochen said, "I don't need to use a fake identity . It will be easy to find out my true identity with the influence of the Sword Sanctum . "
Lu Fantian nodded and continued to say, "Your strength is not weak, but your realm of cultivation is a little bit low . If we really fight each other, you may not be able to withstand ten strikes from me . "
It was unnecessary and impossible to conceal his identity in front of a master like Lu Fantian . He had already roughly understood the stage of Zhang Ruochen's realm through the previous fight .
On the other hand, Zhang Ruochen had also guessed Lu Fantian's strength . He was indeed a powerful opponent .
Previously, Lu Xuan had said that he was able to rank in the top ten warriors of the young generation in the Eastern Region . It was probably not a lie .
. . .
Sword Sanctum, Jade Saint Divine Mountain
Jade Saint Divine Mountain was the lord of the 18 sacred mountains . The owner of these sacred mountains was Lu Huaiyu, who was called "Jade Saint" .
The grey-haired and wrinkled Jade Saint looked like he was already in his eighties or nineties . He was so thin that his bones were protruding out his skin . However, his eyes, as bright as the stars, seemed like they contained infinite wisdom and emit light like some holy deity .
Holding the Abyss Ancient Sword, Jade Saint was so excited that his hands kept trembling . He muttered:
"No one knows I'm in the deep forest, only the moon accompanies and sends me light . "
"No one knows I'm in the deep forest, only the moon accompanies and sends me light . "
. . .
Jade Saint repeated the poem three times, then he calmed down . He placed the Abyss Ancient Sword on the stone table beside him . Then he expectantly gazed at Lu Xuan and asked, "What's his name? How old is he? What else did he say?"
Lu Xuan politely kneeled in the center of the Holy Temple and she slightly looked up . It was her first time to see her ancestor being so excited .
Ancestor was a Saint who had already lived for more than 400 years .
How could he be so excited over something like this?
