Borrowing a sword

Chapter 362 Heavenly Treasure Chest

Chapter 362 Heavenly Treasure Chest
It has been two thousand years since Kunlun Mountain last saw a single snowfall?
Chu Huaixu was slightly taken aback.

Immediately afterwards, a system notification sound will ring in his ears.

"[Ding! You have successfully triggered the hidden quest—The Lost Fruit Position.]"

"[Task Status: Available to claim.]"

Upon hearing this, Chu Huaixu's eyes narrowed slightly.

Wen Shiyu naturally couldn't hear the system notification sound. Seeing Chu Huaixu's expression, she assumed he was thinking about something after hearing her words.

This made her think that she had probably done something meritorious.

Therefore, she immediately continued:
“Master, Shi Yu has been cultivating immortality for 1,400 years.”

"Throughout this long period of time, Shigure has never seen snow."

"The so-called snow only exists in ancient books and in paintings."

"Therefore, Shigure speculates that the lost fruit position might be related to snow?"

She glanced at Chu Huaixu out of the corner of her eye, only to find that he completely ignored her.

Because his attention was entirely focused on the task interface.

The task interface does not specify which deity or immortal lord this position comes from, nor does it specify its specific authority.

This is the most briefly described hidden quest Chu Huaixu has ever seen in his gaming career.

To be honest, there wasn't a single piece of useful information in the mission details.

The only useful thing is that this position was lost in the Xuanhuang Realm before 1981.

That means there's a specific timeframe now.

"Before 1981, the old woman sitting here had indeed not been born yet."

But he still had a few doubts.

I have two questions for you.

“Master, please ask, and I will answer to the best of my knowledge,” Wen Shiyu replied immediately.

"You just said that Kunlun Grotto-heaven hasn't seen snow for two thousand years?"

"Ah."

"Is this an unusual phenomenon that arises after the loss of one's spiritual attainment?"

“That’s a possibility,” Wen Shiyu replied.

"Since I possess the Night Lord status and have the authority of the Eternal Night of the Moon, have any unusual phenomena related to the night occurred?"

Surely it won't always be daylight there, and never get dark?

"It seems not, or perhaps people haven't realized it yet," Wen Shiyu replied after a moment's thought.

Upon hearing this, Chu Huaixu nodded slightly.

The characteristics of the fruit position cannot be analyzed at the moment.

Let's just assume it's related to snow.

The rewards for this hidden quest are even more generous than those for the Origin Spirit Realm.

In addition to a Heavenly Treasure Chest and 1 point of Spirit Embryo attribute, you will also receive 2 more free special attribute points!

This greatly intrigued Chu Huaixu.

Although he knew that this task probably involved some luck and wouldn't be easy to complete.

After all, there's still the leader of the Black Moon Cult there.

"According to Jiang Zhi's description, this person not only has the cultivation of the eighth realm at its peak, but also the ability of the Nascent Soul stage. He is actually both a cultivator and an immortal cultivator."

"I wonder how he managed to cultivate two systems simultaneously," Chu Huaixu thought to himself.

But no matter what, once he completes this task, he will be able to advance to Physique Level 10!
With this thought in mind, he asked again:
“Let me ask you, even if the loss of your position occurred before you were born.”

“But you have been cultivating immortality for so long, and have been a Nascent Soul True Monarch for so many years, and you are also a disciple of the Divine Transformation Sect.”

"Even if your master never mentioned this to you, when you chat with your older senior brothers and sisters, they never mention it, not even a single word about it?"

Listening to the young man's confusion, Wen Shiyu knew that he had become a Divine Immortal Venerable, but he didn't understand what a Divine Immortal Venerable was at all!
This inevitably made her feel a little jealous.

She replied:

“Master, you still don’t know enough about the immortals who are in the Kunlun region and possess the Kunlun Nascent Soul stage.”

"I will tell you the whole story in detail."

"There is a saying in the Kunlun Grotto Heaven: Immortals should not be discussed recklessly."

"Because if you make any unauthorized comments about matters related to the Immortal Venerable, the Immortal Venerable will find out."

"To be precise, the Immortal Venerable is not to be mentioned!"

“Once it is mentioned, he will sense it.”

"With a single thought from the Immortal Venerable, our souls will be scattered and we will die without a burial place!"

"Given that this knowledge cannot be passed down orally, the vast majority of cultivators know very little about the Immortal Venerables."

"Before becoming an apprentice, I knew almost nothing."

Wen Shiyu observed Chu Huaixu's expression and saw a fleeting look of surprise on his face.

She couldn't help but sigh to herself, "This is the difference between the two worlds."

For people in the Xuanhuang Realm, some things are simply incomprehensible.

With their conventional thinking, they simply cannot imagine how terrifying a Divine Immortal Venerable truly is!

However, it is clear that his master no longer seems to possess these heaven-defying abilities after returning to the Xuanhuang Realm.

Wen Shiyu raised his head and continued respectfully:
“Master, although I suspect that the eldest brother who has followed Master the longest—True Lord Lingxiao—must know about this matter, due to the existence of this ironclad rule, no one usually has the courage or habit to speak ill of the Immortal Venerable.”

"Therefore, even if everyone knows that this immortal venerable is likely dead in the Xuanhuang Realm, and that he is not in Kunlun, people will still habitually avoid talking about him if they can avoid it."

Upon hearing this, Chu Huaixu nodded slightly, accepting the explanation for the time being.

As someone who was half a native of Xuanhuang, he didn't really know much about the situation of outsiders like those in Kunlun.

"What utter nonsense!" — It shows a lack of understanding and respect.

However, no matter what, although the title of Immortal Venerable Transformation sounds very intimidating, there have been at least two cases of him being killed in the Xuanhuang Realm.

Since it can be killed, then it's alright.

The problem is big, but at least it's not unsolvable.

Listening to Wen Shiyu's descriptions, he still felt a lot of pressure and a sense of urgency.

After all, who knows when the so-called great calamity of heaven and earth will arrive?
Chu Huaixu didn't think that day was too far away.

"After all, I am a very big variable."

He wasn't actually sure whether Kunlun Cave Heaven would sense that he had obtained the authority of the Eternal Night after fusing with the [Night Venerable Position].
The dead fox guessed that it was probably possible.

"If that Nascent Soul stage expert over there truly already knows this..."

Given the importance of the position, will they change their original plan?

Chu Huaixu was not entirely certain about this point either.

Through Wen Shiyu, he had already realized that the great calamity of heaven and earth was far more complicated than he had imagined.

"The Kunlun Grotto-Heaven has long been able to open the outer passage."

"When they will descend upon the Xuanhuang Realm and launch a large-scale invasion is probably just a matter of a single thought from those few Nascent Soul Immortals."

Chu Huaixu actually had a vague sense of unease.

He always felt that because of his appearance
"That day may come sooner than expected!"

The next day, Chu Huaixu got up very early.

He wanted to find an empty training room in the Junzi Temple to go into seclusion.

As for Wen Shiyu, he went to the room next door to refine his external avatar.

Chu Huaixu didn't need to find someone to watch over her.

Nangong Yue arrived with a curious expression as soon as she heard that this thing was to be made.

Both women are known for their magnanimity.

But if they were to stand together and compare, it seems that Nangong Yue would win by a narrow margin.

After sitting down on the futon in the training room, Chu Huaixu opened his skill interface and, as usual, unleashed a [Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin] attack.

He spent a million experience points just like that, and as he expected, he failed to learn again.

The progress bar for [Kenshin] increased slightly as a result.

This kept him relatively calm, as he felt he hadn't lost too much and it was still acceptable.

Chu Huaixu didn't think this thing was so easy to learn either.

Anyway, as usual, he would learn it once every ten million experience points he accumulated.

What if I suddenly master it someday?

He has a good attitude and won't be discouraged by these few failures.

After witnessing the weakened version of [Ten Thousand Swords Return to One] performed by the Sword Master, Chu Huaixu had great expectations for learning this skill.

After firing one shot, he opened the mission interface to claim the mission reward.

As before, it contains 1 point of Spirit Embryo attribute and a Heavenly-level treasure chest.

After the spiritual fetus attribute was added, Chu Huaixu immediately closed his eyes and carefully felt the enhancement he had received.

He could clearly feel that the condition of [Heart Sword] had improved a lot.

"Now, I am already the noble Spirit Embryo 8!"

He felt like he was a player who had been nurtured and developed.

Xin Jian, who was originally in a critical condition, has gradually become healthy again.

[Heart Sword] now looks perfectly normal, no longer carrying any negative status effects.

This made Chu Huaixu even want to try it immediately:

"Now, can the Heart Sword, once separated from the body, take over the Bronze Sword?"

He had previously asked Xiao Xu to open the sword box and try, and unsurprisingly, it failed every time.

Although he was certain that the Heart Sword's rank was likely higher than that of the Evil Sword's sword spirit.

However, due to his weak cultivation level and the fact that his spiritual embryo attributes were not up to par, he was unable to do this no matter what.

"There will always be opportunities later," Chu Huaixu thought to himself.

He could imagine just how furious that evil sword would be.

Just imagining it made him feel secretly pleased.

After digesting this 1 point of spiritual fetus attribute, Chu Huaixu began to rub his hands together.

"It's time for the exciting unboxing!"

Every time he opened a Heaven-level treasure chest, his gains were immense.

As soon as the box was opened, Chu Huaixu saw a colorful glow.

For some reason, his heart would race slightly and he would feel a little nervous every time he saw this thing.

There's no way around it, the Heavenly Treasure Chest is just too precious.

Back when he was a player, among the massive player base, he hadn't even gotten many level-one treasure chests.

After the glow of the sunset faded, three treasure chests appeared before his eyes as rewards.

It's not that he opened three treasures from one box.
