Chapter 2418 Three Cups Lead to the Great Dao, One Bowl Harmonizes with Nature

The green sparrow said, "The Spirit Locking Seal that sealed this guy’s primordial spirit was created by an immortal figure, which means that if you want to crack it, you should at least have the power at the immortal level."

Lin Xun was stunned, "Is there no other way?"

"Of course there is."

The green sparrow pointed out, "There are two kinds of law power in your life-bound Emperor weapon. One is filled with the aura of the Celestial Phoenix Progenitor Ancestor. Although it is only a damaged part of the original power, it can also be classified as a sixth grade Earth Rank law power."

“The other kind of law power... Um..."

Speaking of this, the green sparrow hesitated a little and then said vaguely, "This kind of law power... It is not complete, but the aura is extremely special. Judging from its power, it is almost on par with a ninth grade Earth Rank law power, but its aura is extremely difficult to assess, which makes it difficult for me to judge what it really is."

After hearing this, Lin Xun understood things clearly.

Even if the Phoenix Flame of Order in the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron was considered incomplete, it was comparable to the sixth grade Earth Rank.

Furthermore, the Nirvana law power was extremely amazing, and its power was comparable to ninth grade Earth Rank! In addition, its aura was likely even stronger than that!

"Regardless, as long as you use one of these two law powers, it will be enough to forcibly crush this person's Spirit Locking Seal."

The green sparrow said, "But, this person's primordial spirit will also be crushed to pieces."

Suddenly, Lin Xun hesitated.

After a while, he took out the sword whetstone engraved with the words "Sharpen your heart like a blade” and asked the green sparrow, "Do you recognize this thing?"

The green sparrow stared at it with its lively eyes that revealed hints of astonishment for a long period of time, but finally it shook its head, "I can only see that this stone is extremely unusual, but I can't see what its actual powers are. ”

The green sparrow was from the Immortal Imperial Yuan Clan and was extremely proud. Since even it was shocked, it undoubtedly proved that the mystery behind the sword whetstone was extraordinary.

Lin Xun, who was a little disappointed, was about to put away the sword whetstone when he suddenly noticed that a strange aura had quietly appeared from Fang Xuanzhen. It was as if something had sensed the existence of the sword whetstone.

Buzz~

At the same time, the sword whetstone in Lin Xun's hand also trembled slightly.

Lin Xun's eyes lit up, and his spirit sense spread and suddenly poured into Fang Xuanzhen.

This guy had fallen into a state of suspended death, and the power within his body was silent, so Lin Xun's spirit sense easily swept into it.

After a while, Lin Xun finally found the source of that strange aura.

In Fang Xuanzhen's True Self Emperor World, there was a white stone about the size of a palm. It was flat and white, resembling the most gentle and transparent divine jade in the world, and it emitted a soft light that made people calm.

Without hesitation, Lin Xun took out the white stone.

While holding it in his hand, it somehow felt both warm and cool, soft and refreshing. Just looking at it would make people feel a sense of peace and tranquility as if they were being purified.

On the back of the stone, a string of words was engraved: "Temper the heart as smooth as jade."

Every carved word was elegant with a sense of roundness and openness that somehow resembled great freedom and independence.

"Sharpen the heart like a blade, temper the heart as smooth as jade..." murmured the green sparrow in an almost fanatical manner. It was as if it knew there was a special meaning behind those lines, yet it had forgotten the way to explain it.

At the same time, Lin Xun's heart was also surging.

Sharpen the heart like a blade.

Those carved words were like sword marks, sharp and unparalleled, and wantonly aggressive.

Temper the heart as smooth as jade.

Those carved words were like a warm and elegant breeze that was free and unrestrained!

These two stones were unique. One was black and the other white. One sharpened swords, while the other nourished the heart. They complemented each other, forming a kind of charm that made people tremble.

As if he was in a trance, he seemed to hear a loud laugh sounding.

"Three cups lead to the great dao, one bowl of wine harmonizes with nature, drunken dreams do not know autumn, reincarnation returns all to the new era..."

[1]

The voice seemed to have a magnetic quality to it, dragging Lin Xun's mind into a strange state. It was as if he was in the vast river of fate. The vicissitudes of life were passing by, the cycle of reincarnation was revolving, and the waves of the river were stirring up the flow of the world...

Suddenly, a sigh sounded on the vast river of fate, revealing a sense of deep loneliness and melancholy.

"Use the sword to seek the dao, fight for reincarnation, walk through the change of epochs, search and find, but ultimately cannot discover the reason...

"When there are no opponents left in the world, all that is left is loneliness. Is death the only way to transcend it all?

"The dao can be spoken of, but that is not the real dao, the dao of heaven and the dao of man, the big dao and the small dao... In the end, they are all traps...

"Hahaha, what a bullshit dao, it's all nonsense!"

Every word was like thunder, rumbling and shaking, shaking Lin Xun's mind and making his head swell and ache.

Just when he felt that he could not bear it any longer, the voice suddenly became low and calm, as if the speaker was completely relieved and had let go of all burdens.

"Forget it, this dao doesn't work, it's time to go through another cycle of reincarnation and pursue another route..."

When listening to this, a picture quietly emerged in Lin Xun's mind

In a vast and silent ruin, a figure turned and walked into the vast void. The person’s whole body fell apart and turned into countless particles of light that flew and dissipated.

Only the vast and silent ruins were left standing there, eternal and lonely.

Faintly, Lin Xun saw that in the depths of the ruins, it seemed that there was a door slowly closing, and deeper in the door, a sword chant came out, like a wail.

Boom!

Hearing the sound of the sword, Lin Xun felt as if his head had almost exploded. Countless complex and obscure forces impacted his mind, making him tremble all over, and his state of mind showed signs of collapse.

A long period of time passed.

Lin Xun felt dizzy, and everything he had seen and felt before had disappeared.

Only that faint wailing sound lingered in the deepest part of his heart,

"My Lord, I will definitely break the shackles, free myself from the All-Wonder Dominion, and go find you..."

This heartfelt wail was full of deep sorrow and determination.

When Lin Xun wanted to listen to this carefully again, even this remnant sound disappeared without a trace.

It seemed that everything he had just experienced was like a dream.

A long period of time passed. Finally, Lin Xun let out a long breath, gradually shook things off, and calmed down. Then he gazed at the two mysterious stones in his hands.

The scenes he had just seen must have been the traces of remnant willpower left on these two stones.

The person who had turned and walked towards nothingness must have been the owner of the sword whetstone and the heart tempering stone. He was clearly a sword master who had fought to cross the cycles of reincarnation and had walked through many epochs!

“When there are no opponents left in the world, all that is left is loneliness.”

The meaning revealed by this sigh undoubtedly proved that this legendary master had reached an unprecedented level in the way of the sword.

Despite that, in the end, this legendary master had chosen to reincarnate, start over, cross epochs, find another way, and walk down the path of the dao once again!

The reason for that was that he believed he had reached a dead end and was unable to transcend again...

This shocked Lin Xun, who couldn't imagine how far this legendary master had reached in the quest of the dao to make such a choice.

The only thing that was certain was that this person had chosen to step into the cycle of reincarnation in the All-Wonder Dominion and had disappeared from the world.

Before he left, he had probably sealed his sword in the All-Wonder Dominion, so after he left, the sword spirit emitted a sad and despondent wail...

"The All-Wonder Dominion, the genius of the dao of the sword, and the sad wail of the left behind sword spirit..."

Lin Xun fell into a state of contemplation.

The Kunlun Dominion, Return Dominion, Fortune Dominion, and All-Wonder Dominion were originally in the Ancient Nebula Road.

Later on, the Kunlun Dominion and Return Dominion suffered from calamities and their origin sources dried up, whereas the whereabouts of the Fortune Dominion and the All-Wonder Dominion were currently unknown.

This was especially true for the All-Wonder Dominion, which was considered the most mysterious and wondrous out of the four. Since the ancient times to the present, many powerful experts even believed that if they wanted to find the All-Wonder Dominion, they needed to leave the Ancient Nebula Road and go to the other side of the cosmos to find clues.

In addition, there was a kind of connection between the All-Wonder Dao Fire in Lin Xun's possession and the All-Wonder Dominion.

Now, after experiencing the incredible scenes just now, Lin Xun also realized that the owner of the sword whetstone and the heart tempering stone in his hand had entered the All-Wonder Dominion!

Unfortunately, Lin Xun didn't know who this person was, nor did he know of his origins, so he couldn't infer too many things.

"You seem to have discovered something just now?" asked the green sparrow suddenly.

Lin Xun nodded, and then he thought of something, "Yes, the owner of these two treasures had entered the All-Wonder Dominion, and his swordsmanship had reached an unprecedented and invincible realm..."

After listening, the green sparrow was stunned and said, "How could I not have heard of such a great swordsman appearing in all these countless years?"

"Then do you have knowledge about the All-Wonder Dominion?" Lin Xun asked.

The green sparrow said without hesitation, "Of course I do. A long time ago, countless experts at the immortal stage were looking for the All-Wonder Dominion. They believed that there were the complete mysteries of reincarnation in the All-Wonder Dominion, which was enough to make the cultivators immortal even through the changing epochs."

It then added, “But no one has ever been able to find this All-Wonder Dominion, so of those in the immortal level, very few people talk about it anymore."

Lin Xun was surprised and asked, "The complete mysteries of reincarnation?"

He suddenly remembered that in the Nirvana of Transcendence, there was a reincarnation-like world! He had entered it to reincarnate and reshape his dao path!

"This is just an inference and speculation. No one knows what is hidden in the All-Wonder Dominion." The green sparrow shook its head.

Lin Xun nodded.

After a while, he put away the sword whetstone and the heart tempering stone, and then looked at Fang Xuanzhen who was in a state of suspended animation.

"Will he be able to wake up by himself now?" Lin Xun asked.

The green sparrow said, "Of course, but it will take at least a hundred years. This is also the price to pay for casting the Spirit Locking Seal. No one can escape."

Lin Xun sighed in his heart, knowing that he would not be able to get more clues about the owner of the sword whetstone from Fang Xuanzhen in a short time.

After thinking about it, Lin Xun suppressed Fang Xuanzhen in the Dao Endless Pagoda. It was just a hundred years. He could wait.

Next, Lin Xun began to sit cross-legged in meditation.

One day later, Lin Xun walked out of the underground cave.

In the bloody world, his figure flickered and moved as he searched for king-level Bloodspirit Nightmare Demons.

After Fang Xuanzhen and his group had been wiped out, there was a king-level Bloodspirit Nightmare Demon's life orb among the spoils collected.

In other words, Lin Xun now had two life orbs, and he only needed to find eight more to condense the thunderfiend ring.

With this treasure, one could pass through the Bloodfiend Astral Thunder covering the sky, walk out of the Ancient Nightmare Battlefield, and arrive at the next region, the Undead Soul Domain.

At the same time, in different areas of the Ancient Nightmare Battlefield, there were also many other experts looking for the king-level Bloodspirit Nightmare Demons.

Everyone knew that this was a matter related to whether one can walk out of the Ancient Nightmare Battlefield or not!

1. The first two lines are actually being quoted from a poem written by Li Bai, a famous Tang Dynasty era poet who loved to drink. In that poem, he is ostensibly arguing that loving wine is absolutely natural. However, the undertones hint at the loneliness of poets who are not welcomed at positions of power at the imperial court, which is why they drink and write poetry all day. ☜
