Borrowing a sword

Chapter 342 Chu Huai Prelude: Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Source?

The area around the monastery was completely surrounded.

Tens of thousands of spirit swords gathered here, but overall, they were distributed irregularly.

This scene was significantly different from when the Sword Master used the Myriad Swords Return to Origin technique earlier.

In the hands of the Sword Master, tens of thousands of spirit swords seemed to converge into a sword formation.

It wasn't as scattered as it is now.

Xiahou Yue and the others immediately discovered with their divine senses that the person who attracted tens of thousands of longswords to break through the air was Chu Huaixu, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation!
The female national advisor's eyes lit up slightly, and she stood in the air with great interest.

As for the monks gathered outside the monastery, they were still somewhat bewildered.

They had no idea who had caused such a shocking scene!

But no matter what, from an outsider's perspective, this scene looks exactly like someone trying to learn the Ten Thousand Swords Return to One technique, and there are already signs that they have mastered it!

Although these spirit swords are scattered, they have all been summoned, haven't they?
"Someone is comprehending the sword!" a sword cultivator with low cultivation level exclaimed.

"I never imagined that one day I would have the honor of witnessing someone comprehend the Myriad Swords Returning to One!"

"This will undoubtedly go down in history. In the past thousand years, very few sword cultivators have mastered the Ten Thousand Swords Return to One technique!"

"Who on earth could possess such comprehension!"

These people stood outside the monastery, gazing inside, already having a vague idea in their hearts.

In the air, all the renowned cultivation giants had already gathered.

As for who is the most talented among the people living in the monastery?
That is of course the Xuanhuang leader, Chu Huai Xu!
Moreover, he was already known as the second Dao Ancestor, and had several experiences of borrowing swords.

"Could it be that Chu Huaixu is comprehending swordsmanship?" someone couldn't help but ask.

“I think it’s possible too!” someone echoed.

Of course, many people disagreed.

"I think it's unlikely, after all, his cultivation level is only at the third realm."

"Yes, it's impossible for a third-realm divine sense to be able to control so many swords. A hundred would be an exaggeration, let alone tens of thousands!"

But sword cultivators quickly jumped out to refute it.

"You're not sword cultivators! You don't understand at all!"

"Yes, after I arrived here, I chatted with a group of fellow Daoists for a while, and I'm almost certain in my heart that it's Chu Huaixu!"

A cultivator nearby immediately asked in bewilderment, "Oh? Fellow sword cultivators, what do you mean by that?"

A short swordsman pointed upwards and said, "See that? That's my natal sword!"

The dozens of people standing nearby immediately looked up.

How could they know which one among that pile of swords was the correct one?

"Hey! The blue one! See it?" The short swordsman exclaimed anxiously, "The one with the tassel on it!"

"Oh! Now we see it!" everyone replied.

The short swordsman then said with satisfaction, "My sword, though only a mid-grade spirit sword, is a top-grade mid-grade spirit sword!"

He started by boasting about himself.

Everyone stared at him expectantly, and because of their curiosity, they didn't want to speak ill of him, so they could only urge him, "Fellow Daoist, please stop keeping us in suspense."

"Alright, alright!" He raised his hand, signaling everyone to calm down: "You all know that the Sword Master also used the Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin technique today, right?"

"Yes!"

"So, my sword has been borrowed twice today, hasn't it?"

"Yeah!" Everyone thought he was just talking nonsense.

"As my natal sword, it is connected to my will; how could I not sense its state?" The short swordsman began to speak eloquently:
"These two times it was drawn were clearly different."

"At this moment, you see the sword trembling and making a clanging sound."

"But I could sense the sword spirit's fear, or rather, awe, and submission!"

"This is completely different from when the Sword Master borrowed the sword!"

"But you should know that when Chu Huaixu broke through his sword heart, all the surrounding spiritual swords reacted in the same way!"

The short swordsman clapped his hands and shouted, "That matches up!"

Upon hearing this, the group of cultivators immediately looked at the other sword cultivators.

These sword cultivators, dressed in only a single layer of clothing, stood in the fierce, cold wind. They first assumed their postures, standing sideways, then slightly turning their heads, and finally nodding slightly.

“You don’t practice swordsmanship, you don’t understand.”

This left the other practitioners looking at each other in bewilderment.

If only one person says this, then it's not very credible.

But if every sword cultivator says that, then it's basically assumed to be Chu Huaixu.

This allows the message to spread from one to ten, from ten to a hundred, and from a hundred to a thousand.
In an instant, all the cultivators gathered here reached a consensus.

"Chu Huaixu is comprehending the sword!" "He only watched the Sword Master perform the Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin technique once, and he actually learned it!"

"Terrifying! This boy's swordsmanship talent is truly terrifying!"

At this moment, Chu Huaixu was still sitting in meditation on the futon.

Even Xiahou Yue and the others couldn't fully see through it due to the system's isolation.

He knew very well that at this moment, the [Heart Sword] had entered an extremely profound state after its upgrade, displaying its divine power.

This further convinced him that his Sword Heart: Return of Ten Thousand Swords to One, as well as the Heart Sword within his sea of ​​consciousness, were closely related to [Return of Ten Thousand Swords to One (Advanced Version)].

High in the sky, Xiahou Yue and the others stood beside Sword Master and the others, frowning as they looked down at the spiritual swords below.

"Is this the 'Ten Thousand Swords Return to One'? It doesn't quite look like it," the protector of the nation said.

Those who have reached the level of advanced cultivators still possess primordial power within their bodies, allowing them to see things more clearly.

This situation clearly has nothing to do with magic.

It looks more like a large-scale anomaly.

It can be considered a super advanced version of Chu Huaixu's sword heart breakthrough that day.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhi couldn't help but let out a cold snort.

He glanced at the middle-aged scholar and said, "Why don't you tell them?"

"Yes, Senior Jiang." The middle-aged scholar was as polite and gentle as ever.

Although he has now entered the Ninth Realm and is almost invincible, his personality has not changed at all.

“Actually, judging from the current scene, I can almost conclude that what young friend Chu is currently comprehending is probably not the Dao Ancestor’s Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin.” After a moment of hesitation, the Sword Venerable said in a slightly speculative tone.

"Huh?" Everyone was slightly taken aback.

"I haven't fully grasped the concept of 'Ten Thousand Swords Returning to One,' so this is just my guess." The middle-aged scholar smiled somewhat embarrassedly.

However, no one believed him.

I really believed your lies!

Isn't that what you call "Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin"?
What would the true "Return of Ten Thousand Swords" look like?

The middle-aged scholar could only sigh helplessly when he saw that people were unwilling to believe him.

He simply continued, "The current Chu Huaixu is already quite well-formed."

"The path he took was not entirely the same as the Dao Ancestor's Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin."

"Even when he has a complete epiphany, I dare not say that he will necessarily be stronger than the techniques created by the Dao Ancestor."

“But they are definitely far superior to me,” he said with certainty.

The middle-aged scholar's tone was so confident that everyone immediately understood that he was not being modest.

However, as far as Xiahou Yue and the others were concerned, they would only think:
"Why?"

On the contrary, those from the Eastern Continent Mirror Kingdom who had more contact with Chu Huaixu were also shocked, but they didn't think too much about it.

Hasn't this kid already experienced enough miracles?

Cheng Yuyan looked at the spiritual swords gathering below, lightly waving his folding fan, finding it quite amusing once again, and said with a smile:

"It won't be long before this matter spreads throughout the entire Xuanhuang Realm."

"If he says he doesn't know how to return to the origin of ten thousand swords when the time comes, I'm afraid no one will believe him, hahaha!"

Time passed by minute by minute.

After about half an incense stick's time, Chu Huaixu's spiritual embryo advancement was finally completed.

But for some reason, he felt incredibly exhausted in his spiritual realm this time, as if he had been completely overdrawn.

He had barely opened his eyes when he fainted again.

The tens of thousands of swords that had gathered in the sky suddenly stopped hovering in the air.

"Crash-!"

Tens of thousands of spirit swords were scattered all over the ground!
This left all the sword cultivators around them completely bewildered.

No! Aren't you going to return it?
We have to pick them up ourselves!
The scene instantly descended into chaos.

The group of Moon Kingdom cultivators: "."

During this coma, Chu Huaixu slept for a full day and night.

When he opened his eyes, it was the night of the second day.

Just as he was about to get up to check on himself, he heard Xiahou Yue's voice from outside.

"Chief Chu, His Majesty requests your presence."

(P.S.: Only one update today, sorry.)

I'm feeling dizzy, lightheaded, and weak in my limbs; it seems like I have a type of dizziness. Someone suggested taking vitamin B2 and B6, drinking a bottle of Huoxiang Zhengqi Water (a traditional Chinese medicine for relieving heat and thirst), and guzzling electrolyte water. I'll try that. If I'm still feeling this way tomorrow morning, I'll go to the hospital.
