The best warriors were often born in the cruelest battlefields. Human civilization had always been developing and exploring in the direction that they hoped for the most. Science fiction, myths, and legends were slowly being realized. Thus, we yearned for eternal life, for love, for angels, and for the gods who resolve disasters. He also hoped that their bodies were not maintained by screws and steel. But was this scientific? God and God, perhaps we can boldly imagine.
A gentle breeze blew, and the sword hummed. The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the windows of the hall, illuminating the many swords floating on both sides of the hall. As the golden door of the hall was pushed open, a white-robed young man walked in leisurely.
The young man was dressed in black and had black hair. His long hair was tied up behind his back by a golden hair rope. Even half of his ears and face were covered by his long hair. In the haze, only his outline and the calm aura between his brows could be seen. He was like a medieval count, noble and cold.
As soon as the young man entered the hall, the swords floating around the hall began to hum softly. As he walked forward step by step, the swords near him seemed to submit and rejoice for him. However, the young man's gaze did not fall on these swords. Instead, he quietly looked in front of him. He looked at a large purple ancient book on the table at the end of the hall, and a strangely shaped gorgeous longsword placed horizontally under the book.
The book looked like a thick magic book, and its shape was very strange. The book itself was not only wide and thick, but its cover was also very strange. The purple cover was made of an unknown metal and was covered with cloud patterns. Two divine dragons circled around the cover and finally appeared in the center. The pattern formed by the two dragons was a very strange Daoist Yin-Yang Taijitu. No one knew what the book was called. Perhaps only the young man who came before it knew. When he saw the book, he smiled.
"It's been a long time. I'll definitely open you this time. " And you, Taiqing Zhenyuan Sword…" The black-haired youth who gently reached out to place his hand on the sheath revealed his left hand that was originally hidden in his sleeve. His fingers were long and soft, and they did not look like a man's hand at all.
However, the most peculiar thing was not his hand, but the jade ring on his index finger, which was silently flashing with a spiritual light. Like everything else in the hall, it was not ordinary. The young man who grabbed the scabbard began to pick up the ancient Eastern sword on the table in front of him. However, the sword that did not look heavy seemed to be as heavy as Mount Tai in his eyes. When his hand that was holding the hilt began to show white marks from overexertion, he finally picked up the sword on the table.
As the sword left the table, a dark blue spiritual light instantly circulated from the tip of the sword to the end. Then, an invisible sword Qi instantly erupted from the sword and swept across the hall, shaking all the other swords in the hall to the ground. It was as if this sword was the king of swords. Its high and mighty arrogance made it seem so sharp and domineering.
"Very good, you're still as stubborn as ever. But I'm not the same person as I was ten years ago. This time, I'll definitely take you away. I've been training day and night for the past ten years in order to take you down today. No matter what, I won't let you go today. " Also, I'll prove to you that I'm definitely qualified to have you…" The black-haired youth's words were filled with confidence, as if he was even more arrogant than the gorgeous ancient sword in his hand.
His last sentence was directed at the purple book on the table.
A normal person would think that he was hopelessly stupid talking to a book. However, this black-haired youth was not a fool. On the contrary, he was actually very smart. Because just as he finished speaking, the originally closed purple book on the table suddenly opened automatically, and blank pages flashed past his eyes. However, just as it was halfway through, two lines of black Chinese characters suddenly appeared on the blank page: I've been waiting for you. The entire world has been waiting for you. If you can't do it in ten years, then wait another ten years and try again.
The words were filled with contempt. It seemed that even this book did not think highly of this black-haired youth.
"Is that so? Those who underestimate me, Li Xiao Yao, will definitely pay the price. I believe I know this better than you. Ever since you brought me to this godforsaken place, I've spent ten years to pull out this broken sword. I don't mind spending another ten years to deal with it! " However, I believe that this time, I won't have to wait another ten years…" The black-haired young man with a frown instantly activated his power. In an instant, the space around him was shaken by the sudden black true energy, creating layers of fine ripples. Immediately after, he grabbed the hilt of the sword with his right hand and instantly tightened his grip.
Buzz, buzz, buzz... The sword that was gently unsheathed emitted a wave of blue energy. Under the stimulation of this energy, the scattered swords in the hall began to involuntarily hum and float up again. The more swords the black-haired youth pulled out, the higher the swords floated in the air, and the louder the sword chimes became. It was as if there was a force controlling them, and that force came from the sword in the young man's hand.
* Clang! * The black-haired young man, who had drawn his sword and held it in his hand, was drenched in cold sweat. Even his hands and mouth were bleeding. Unlike the blood on the corner of his mouth, the blood on his hand did not drip down the sword. Instead, it was gradually absorbed by the sword in his hand. In just a short moment, the sword began to emit even stronger true energy after absorbing his blood. Then, the energy quickly rushed into his body along the hilt and scabbard, and the wounds on his hands began to heal rapidly under the baptism of this energy. At the same time, the other swords in the hall also fell down one by one, returning to their original floating height and continuing to immerse themselves.
Not long after the energy entered his body, the sword hilt and scabbard in his hands turned into a dark blue energy flow and rushed into his left and right palms. Then, a sheathed longsword appeared in the depths of his black pupils. The three-colored hilt and scabbard were natural. Coupled with the slender body and the fluttering sword tip, this sword was obviously not an ordinary one. This was because lines of text appeared on the page. It was the introduction of the sword in his hand. The black-haired young man looked at the strange words on the page and spread his hands. Then, the immortal sword flashed in his hand. This sword was exactly the same as the Taiqing Zhenyuan Sword in the ancient sword game, but the difference was that the Taiji Diagram in the center of the hilt was not made of metal. Instead, it was a round gem, a strange gem that contained powerful energy.
For this sword, he had been trapped in this place for ten years to cultivate the Black Demon Art, just to be able to subdue it and make it his own. He waved his hand again and put the immortal sword back into his body. Then, he looked at the purple book that was gradually closing. He knew that he could already make it recognize him as its master. His name was Li Xiaoyao, and he came from the 21st century Earth of the technological era. However, the place where he lived for ten years was not the Earth he was in. Perhaps it was not the same universe at all.
This book was called the Power Codex. It was something he had spent 200 yuan to buy from an old man who collected waste when he was traveling to Mount Tai. He had thought that it was useless and could only be used as an antique, but who knew that it was because of this strange book that he had wandered into a foreign land. This book was very strange. It could display words on its own. However, only he could see those words. In the eyes of outsiders, this was just a blank book that looked good. It was not afraid of being wet by water, and nothing could destroy it. But the pages of the book were blank, and he could only see the words when he wanted to or when it was willing to show him. He did not understand why he was here, nor did he know who sent him here. But he knew what he had to do, and he had to work hard to do it.
If he wanted to go home, he had to follow the instructions in this book and help it collect some very strange energy. On the blank page, it was written that it was called the Power Grimoire. Obtaining it was equivalent to possessing supreme power. It was not just a book or a divine artifact. It could also be exchanged for what its owner needed. As long as its master could think of something, it could create it through equivalent exchange.
It was because of this book that he came to the dangerous world outside, that unusually cruel world. To him, perhaps he did not have the right to choose, but he had a reason to live. Therefore, when he understood the magic of this book, he opened the ancient book with a purple cover that looked like a magic book. Then, according to the instructions on the first page, he dripped a drop of blood on the strange pattern that looked like a Taiji diagram gem in the center of the cover to bind it to his blood. Then, the book turned into a purple energy flow and rushed into his body. Then, he realized that he could already control this strange small world.
Yes, a small world. There were many worlds in this world, as well as many small planes.
The temple he was in was a strange temple built on a sea of clouds. Outside the temple was a boundless white sea of clouds, and there were many towering bodhi trees growing in the sea of clouds. The scenery in this small world was beautiful and peaceful. After this book brought him from the familiar world to the very unfamiliar world outside, he discovered that there was a world of clouds in the book.
Within the sacred palace of the Bodhi Cloud Sea, there were many swords floating. There was also the purple book on the table at the front and the Taiqing Immortal Sword that he could not even lift ten years ago.
The book was the Power Treasure Book, and the sword was the Taiqing Zhenyuan Sword in the Ancient Sword Tale game. It was also after he opened the book that he officially understood that it was it that brought him to the strange world outside. And this small world in the sea of clouds was just a bonus. Including the Black Demon Technique that he had cultivated for ten years and the interspatial ring on his finger, the Jade King Ring, they were all small gifts from this power book.
It told him that when he could pull out the sword, it would recognize him as its master. It was also the time when he could dominate the world. At that time, he would collect some special energy that it needed. This energy could be exchanged for anything he wanted, including the divine weapons and other treasures in the magical world in his memories. The outside world was very dangerous, but he believed that his ten years of cultivation in the Black Demon Art was enough to protect himself. Now that the immortal sword had entered his body, his cultivation would become even stronger. He was no longer afraid of anything.
Li Xiaoyao gently waved his hand and kept the purple book on the table into his body. He turned around and looked at the many swords in the hall. Those swords were also gifts. These swords were all very good spiritual swords and immortal swords. There were even divine swords.
Unfortunately, he was not strong enough to obtain those divine swords. As for the Taiqing Zhenyuan Sword that the Power Grimoire had prepared for him, it was an immortal sword used to protect his body. Moreover, the power of the immortal sword was too powerful and had not been unsealed. He could not control its power at all.
The Grimoire of Power said that if he could recognize it as his master, he could get a second gift from it.
Of course, there was still the first mission. It told him that the calamity was coming and that he would become a new god.
