Chapter 632 - The Birth of a Miracle

“Forget it, forget it. Saving a person’s life is greater than building a seven-level pagoda. I’ll just help him,” the sword spirit finally said decidedly. Despite feeling the worry and unwillingness in Ling Chuxi’s heart, Cang Yuan still made such a decision.

“Thank you…” Ling Chuxi said softly in her mind. “If I could help you in any way then that would be good.”

“That’s right. Hearing you say this, I have thought about something,” the sword spirit said, seemingly having something come to mind.

“What is it?” Ling Chuxi asked.

“If I could borrow some of your strength, then this matter would be much easier and the damage it does to me would also be much less,” the sword spirit said. In other words, the duration of the deep sleep it would fall into would be shorter.

“My strength?” Ling Chuxi was a little surprised. Why did the sword spirit say it wanted to borrow her strength and not Huangfu Qingjue’s? If she really had the ability to overcome this task, she would have already done so, was there a need to wait till now?

“I am talking about your Nine Gloom Absolute Meridians,” the sword spirit said.

“Ah, that…” said Ling Chuxi as she sucked in a cold breath. Was the sword spirit still unaware of how scary the strength of the Nine Gloom Absolute Meridians was? It was a ticking time bomb. The last time, only the gathered strength of five guardians had helped her to resolve its extremely cold and gloomy qi with great difficulty, and luckily she managed to be promoted to the realm of True Essence through that ordeal. Would she just die here if the extremely cold and gloomy qi went out of control again?

“Don’t worry, I have my own measures to prevent that. Since I have signed a Divine Sword Ancient Contract with you, if anything were to happen to you, I will also be destroyed and the Cang Yuan Sword would cease to exist in this world,” replied the sword spirit.

“Then, please be steady,” replied Ling Chuxi. After she heard the sword spirit say this, she finally felt a little relieved.

“I know. You don’t have to worry,” the sword spirit said.

After the sword spirit said this, Ling Chuxi suddenly felt her heart move and her mental connection with the sword spirit seemed to strengthen quite a bit. Within her Qi Ocean, a thread of extremely cold and gloomy qi surged clearly.

It was truly a sword spirit generated by a generation’s top-notch cultivator to have so easily borrowed the use of her Nine Gloom Absolute Meridians. Ling Chuxi was not worried about the sword spirit playing any tricks. If it really had any bad intentions, she would have already been destroyed at the hands of the sword essence earlier on.

However, Ling Chuxi still felt a little worried as the thread of the cold and gloomy qi thickened.

Ling Chuxi only felt her body chill and an extremely cold and gloomy qi rush out of her Qi Ocean.

Ling Chuxi felt alarmed because she could feel the extremely cold and gloomy qi flowing at great speed through her meridians. Although it was icy cold and bone piercing, she was not totally unable to withstand it. It was as if a mysterious strength was controlling the extremely cold and gloomy qi. Although it was flowing through her meridians, not a single thread of it touched her meridian vessels.

The extremely cold and gloomy qi was swelled like a flood washing against an embankment, then flowed out of her meridians into the Luo Chen Sword. The Luo Chen Sword began to hum with a low and inaudible sound.

Ling Chuxi suddenly opened her eyes and all she could see was a mysterious mist descending on everything, lingering without dispersing.

Everyone was taken by this strange mist so no one actually noticed the odd state of Ling Chuxi’s sword.

Soon a light buzzing rang in everyone’s ears, as if something was being broken.

Shortly after, a faint shadow flashed past, appearing against in the sky like an ancient word or painting. It gave off a familiar feeling as if everyone present had once seen it. In the array core on Little Silver Ancient Mountain, both inside and out, one could see such a pattern as it was precisely a part of the Eight Gate Array.

The light in the sky flashed again, becoming brighter and brighter and growing endlessly till it spread across the entire sky. Then, it suddenly burst like a bubble, scattering itself into ten thousand colorful lights.
