“Having your answer is enough. After all, I was merely holding onto a sliver of hope regarding this matter.”

The remnant soul’s gaze was sorrowful as it sighed, saying, “I hope that within your lifetime, you can find a sword.”

“Find a sword?” S~eaʀᴄh the ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Lu Changsheng furrowed his brows slightly, feeling that this request was somewhat puzzling.

The remnant soul did not explain, instead asking, “Do you know about the Innate Sword Spiritual Body?”

“I’ve never heard of it?”

Lu Changsheng shook his head.

The myriad spiritual constitutions found in the Cultivation World were too numerous to count—so much so that even a Nascent Soul True Lord wouldn’t dare claim to know them all.

“The Innate Sword Spiritual Body is an extraordinarily rare constitution. It not only allows one to refine their physical body and soul into swords but also enables the refinement of all things under heaven into swords.”

“Once this spiritual body achieves Great Success, it can even transform into an Innate Sword Spirit!”

As the remnant soul reached this point, its voice grew heavier, “My daughter possessed the Innate Sword Spiritual Body. Years ago, when I attempted to break through to the Divinity Transformation Realm, I was struck by the Triadic Tribulation of Heaven, Earth, and Man. Not only did I fail to break through, ending in my demise and the collapse of my Dao, but I also brought disaster upon my wife and daughter.”

“Among the calamities, there were those who came for my daughter’s Innate Sword Spiritual Body, aiming to turn her into a sword spirit to forge a Heavenly Spirit Treasure!”

The remnant soul’s voice carried profound sorrow, shadowed by a potent killing intent.

In his era, he had dominated the Southern Wilderness and was lauded as someone with the potential for Divinity Transformation. Everyone believed he had a great chance to succeed in breaking through.

But when attempting the breakthrough, not only did he perish and lose his Dao, but his actions also brought disaster upon his wife and daughter.

His wife was slain in battle, and his daughter even faced the horrifying possibility of being transformed into a sword.

“Turn her into a sword spirit to forge a Heavenly Spirit Treasure…”

Lu Changsheng’s heart skipped a beat.

While spiritual constitutions brought immense benefits to cultivation, they also easily attracted trouble.

Just as his own daughter, Lu Wangshu, possessed the Blood Talisman Spiritual Body.

In her early years, when she ventured beyond, she was spotted by a demon cultivator who sought to sacrifice her into a talisman.

So as a father, he could fully understand the other party’s fury.

Lu Changsheng pondered for a moment and said, “Senior, I am only in the Golden Core stage now, far from qualified to even touch upon that level. In the future…”

Before he could finish his words, the remnant soul cut him off, “I understand. This request was merely my lingering hope, an obsession.”

“I simply hope that in the future, if you have the ability, you might attempt to seek it.”

“If you find this sword, rescue my daughter. If not, you need not hold yourself to this…”

The remnant soul sighed faintly.

He knew it had been thousands of years since his demise, that the outside world had long become unrecognizable. Looking for a sword was as improbable as a fantasy.

What’s more, it was uncertain if his daughter hadn’t already been forged into a Heavenly Spirit Treasure.

“Very well. If such a day ever comes, I, Lu Changsheng, pledge to find the sword you spoke of, Senior, and rescue your daughter.”

Lu Changsheng solemnly pledged.

After finishing, he asked, “Does this sword have a name?”

“If the sword still exists in this world, its name might be—Tianyu!”

Seeing Lu Changsheng’s sincere words and proactive inquiry, the remnant soul appeared somewhat gratified as it spoke.

“I, Xuantian Yuan, have never owed anyone nor allowed promises made to me to be futile. Young friend, do you wish to save this woman?”

The Tianyuan True Monarch looked at Chu Qingyi and spoke directly.

He did not demand that Lu Changsheng swear a Dao Heart Oath or anything similar.

From his perspective, Lu Changsheng, with his extraordinary talent and unparalleled inheritance, was someone of immense pride and integrity.

Having agreed, it was impossible for him to renege.

Moreover, for someone destined to become a top-tier cultivator, potentially ascending to Nascent Soul Transcendent in the future, insincere promises would leave cracks in his mental state.

“That’s correct. May I ask what method Senior proposes?”

Lu Changsheng asked immediately.

“This woman has shattered meridians and broken bones. Her True Elixir is damaged, and saving her is no easy task.”

“However, since you cultivate the ‘Sun Moon Samsara Technique,’ I possess a secret method that will allow you to use the Sun Moon Samsara Technique to extend her life.”

The Tianyuan True Monarch glanced at Chu Qingyi, who was in Lu Changsheng’s arms, and spoke as such.

“The Sun Moon Samsara Technique!?”

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng froze.

Damn it, is that your so-called solution?

If it’s through that method, why would I, Lu Someone, even bother asking for help?

With the ‘Yin Yang Nirvana Technique,’ ‘Life Transference Technique,’ and the Healing Divine Light of the Nine Treasures Ruyi Bone, as long as there’s a sliver of breath left, I could save her myself!

But upon hearing the Tianyuan True Monarch mention that Chu Qingyi’s True Elixir was damaged, Lu Changsheng’s heart tightened. He quickly examined Chu Qingyi’s condition with his Divine Sense.

Immediately, he saw her Qi Ocean Core within the fractured Dao Foundation. On top of it, a True Elixir emanating faint traces of Golden Core Charm was dim and lifeless, with several cracks running through it, causing her Origin Source to dissipate.

Earlier, due to the urgency of the situation, he hadn’t noticed that Chu Qingyi’s condition was so critical.

Wouldn’t this mean that even if Chu Qingyi were revived, she’d still face the issue of her damaged Dao Foundation, making future progress impossible?

“No…!”

At this moment, Chu Qingyi, lying in Lu Changsheng’s arms, suddenly grew agitated. Despite her barely audible breath, she struggled to speak, “Absolutely not… I’d rather die… Cough cough cough…”

Yet before she could finish her sentence, she coughed up blood violently.

She had nearly been unconscious before.

But having arrived at the Tianyuan Lotus, enveloped by the dense spiritual energy of heaven and earth and nourished by Lu Changsheng’s mana, she gradually regained a sliver of consciousness.

And as soon as she awoke, she overheard the mention of using the “Sun Moon Samsara Technique” for healing.

She was naturally aware of this cultivation technique.

She and her Master, Yun Wanshang, had discovered this technique together in the past, knowing full well it was a Dual Cultivation Technique.

The thought of letting a stranger use such a method to save her was utterly unacceptable.

Yet in her heart, she wondered, who exactly was Lu Changsheng? Why was he so determined to save her?

From the moment Lu Changsheng first saved her, the mana he had displayed felt vaguely familiar to her. It was definitely not the same mana currently nourishing her body!

“Senior, is this truly the only way? Is there no method to restore her foundation?”

Ignoring Chu Qingyi’s refusal, Lu Changsheng patted her soft back lightly and turned to the Tianyuan True Monarch to ask.
