Chapter 142: Glazed Sword Heart
"Xuanji and Qinghuan, please go out first. Xiaonian, please stay here."
These words surprised the group.
I don't know what it was about, but the sect leader had to speak with Xu Nian alone.
After bowing, Jiang Xuanji left the main hall and walked out.
Wu Qinghuan looked at the sect leader with some confusion, then at her senior brother.
He frowned slightly, but didn't say anything more.
He turned and left.
After the two left, only the sect leader and Xu Nian remained in the main hall.
The hall was very quiet.
The sect leader thought for a moment, then slowly said, "Xu Nian, actually... you know me, right?"
Xu Nian looked at the old fox with some surprise.
He smiled but didn't say anything.
"If I'm not mistaken..."
His gaze was intense. "You must be a senior member of my Sword Sect! You could be considered... my elder?"
Xu Nian was taken aback at first, then burst out laughing.
As expected, the old fox miscalculated and guessed wrong.
This is normal.
It would be strange if he could really guess that he was reborn from the future.
Xu Nian had a big smile on her face.
The sect leader also laughed along with them.
"As I thought! Fu Qing greets Senior Sword Sect!"
To have mastered the complete essence of the art of killing.
He also has a karmic connection with the Sword Sect, making him a born Holy Son of the Sword Sect.
Taking all factors into account.
Upon further reflection, only one possibility remains.
Xu Nian is the reincarnation of a senior from the Sword Sect!
That must be it!
“Hmm…” Xu Nian didn’t speak, looking at the back of the sect leader. After a long while, she slowly said, “Fu Qing, I didn’t expect you to have grown up so much.”
The sect leader was terrified.
He bowed again.
"May I ask which member of our sect you are, senior? Are you the former sect leader? Or... or one of the hall masters?"
The Sword Sect has a history spanning thousands of years.
Throughout its thousand-year history, countless amazing people have emerged.
They are all powerful individuals.
Unfortunately, geniuses rarely live long.
Many powerful elders and hall masters died in accidents.
Among them were many experts at the Dao Integration Realm.
"I... I've forgotten my past memories, but I vaguely remember..."
Xu Nian squinted, smiling as she looked at the sect leader, "Fu Qing, you brat, you once went to the Pill Hall and peeked at the Pill Hall's Grand Elder taking a bath..."
The sect leader was greatly alarmed.
The old man blushed.
"Please stop, senior!"
That Grand Elder of the Pill Hall is now his Daoist partner.
He was someone I admired in my youth but dared not confess my feelings to.
Originally, I was supposed to complete the task and report the situation, but unexpectedly... unexpectedly, I encountered someone taking a shower.
This is something that can't be explained logically.
That's really... embarrassing.
Suddenly, the sect leader felt something was amiss.
Not right.
Peeping on someone... oops, I mean, stumbling upon the Grand Elder of the Pill Hall taking a bath was something that happened a hundred years ago.
But in the past hundred years, it seems that no powerful figure has passed away.
So, this senior...
Seemingly sensing the sect leader's doubts, Xu Nian put his hands behind his back.
He said softly, "My soul is immortal, and now... cough cough, I have just been reincarnated."
That's it!
It turns out that after his body died and his soul dissipated, his spirit remained within the Sword Sect.
But it always floats in the air.
It has been accumulating energy.
Now, having just successfully accumulated enough merit, I have been reincarnated.
That makes sense now.
Now I understand why this senior knew so much.
"By the way, I noticed that you have a special constitution, senior. You seem to be burning with karmic fire, but... your divine sense is not affected. It seems that your constitution and the karmic fire have reached some kind of balance...?"
"Ah."
Xu Nian nodded without saying anything more.
It's not that I'm trying to appear knowledgeable by remaining silent.
The main thing is that he's also a bit strange.
His junior sister's sudden remark ignited his karmic fire.
But nothing seems to have happened afterward, such as the backlash of desires, or falling into evil and depravity.
Moreover, their emotions were very stable.
Everything was perfectly normal, without any unexpected changes.
This also made Xu Nian feel very strange.
Why is this so?
The sect leader frowned slightly, pondered for a while, and then his eyes suddenly flashed.
"Could it be that you are Liuli Jianxin, senior?"
"Hmm?" Xu Nian's emotions didn't change much, but she still showed curiosity.
"This physique belongs to a sect leader of our sect thousands of years ago. He was born with a sword heart, but needed the corruption of desire to activate his physique. After awakening, his cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds. Not only that, his blood and qi surged, and his physical strength and divine sense were constantly refined, making his foundation ten or a hundred times greater than that of other cultivators at the same level."
The more he talked, the more likely it seemed.
Everything aligned perfectly with Xu Nian's plan.
"Does this physique have any drawbacks?"
"Have."
The sect leader nodded, "First of all, a large amount of desire is needed when it is activated, and in the future, even more desire will be needed as nourishment to activate the physique, so as to temper the physical body and the soul."
Xu Nian understood somewhat.
This constitution is related to desires.
Once activated, it requires desire as nourishment.
If one has enough desires, one's body can automatically cultivate itself.
"This constitution is somewhat strange."
This is simply a natural-born Holy Body of the Bliss Sect!
The more desires one has, the faster one's spiritual practice will be.
The sect leader nodded, then shook his head.
"It is somewhat evil. In fact, after cultivating to a high level, ordinary desires can no longer affect the body. Only obsessions, those biased and crazy thoughts."
"Like...becoming stronger?"
"Yes, that's why the name 'Glassy Sword Heart' contains the word 'sword.' The first person to awaken this physique was a sword fanatic, and all his desires and wishes were contained in this one sword."
His obsession was to go further in the path of swordsmanship.
Therefore, it is called the heart of the sword.
Suddenly, Xu Nian's expression became somewhat strange.
If the person who initially activated this constitution had some strange obsession...
With this kind of constitution, wouldn't I have to change my name?
A heart made of crystal?
But anyway, this is a good thing.
"Speaking of which, there is an ancient and precious herb deep in the mountains called the Nine-Turn Yin-Yang Grass. If you can refine and consume this herb, you can completely unlock your physical potential."
"Fully activated?"
"Yes, if I remember correctly, when this physique reaches the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, it will undergo a second transformation, at which time the cultivation speed will be faster, and it can be actively controlled to undergo refinement."
The improvement is now passive, resulting in overall growth.
If it is a second transformation, one can focus on improving one's Qi and blood or one's spiritual power.
Comprehensive improvement naturally has its benefits.
However, if one focuses all one's tempering efforts on the physical body, one's physical body may advance to a new level ahead of time. Similarly, the same applies if one cultivates divine sense.
"At that time, it will truly be a case of killing enemies beyond one's level."
Xu Nian felt a pang of emotion.
Now he fully understands why his karmic fire did not erupt.
It turns out it was absorbed by the body.
Although it will still be affected to some extent, the impact will be minimal.
"I estimate that my cultivation speed will become faster and faster than Qinghuan's."
P.S.: My back hurts, I'm resting now. I'll update two more chapters after I wake up. Goodnight everyone, sweet dreams!
