Chapter 290: 290, Sword Legacy (Second update, please vote for the month)
Ping Shanhai and Qian Zhengyi, after conversing with the two Elders, showed no intention of leaving.
They wouldn’t prevent Lu Xun from acquiring his legacy. However, they were going to…
spectate.
Truth be told, they were curious. What exactly was this Sword Legacy left behind by the ancestor?
Thus, the two legendary figures joined the bandwagon of curious onlookers.
Meanwhile, countless players crazily edited posts on the forum, sharing videos of the ongoing event. They constantly updated the forum, providing live broadcast for everyone.
How bustling it was outside, Lu Xun was oblivious. He was inside the Boundary Monument.
Inside the monument was a small world skillfully created with secret techniques. It wasn’t huge, but it was brimming with abundant Spiritual Energy!
“So, this is what your interior is like?” Lu Xun asked.
He quickly got a response within his mind.
The Boundary Monument could communicate with Lu Xun through thoughts, which helped him understand its intentions.
He even suspected that Ji Li’s sudden enlightenment might be due to the good vibes this monument was emanating.
‘First, I give your companion some benefits to show you that I am a good monument!’
Lu Xun wasn’t sure if it could be considered as an enchantment. Judging from what he knew about enchantments, this might not be one.
It seemed to be similar to the Smiling Puppet, originally inanimate objects infused with the power of natural creation, not only did they come alive, they even became sentient!
However, in Lu Xun’s view, this Boundary Monument appeared to be at a lower level than the Smiling Puppet.
After all, the Smiling Puppet was like a living human now, even developing feelings of attraction.
The Boundary Monument, on the other hand, could only communicate via thoughts, and it seemed quite naive, like a child, with widely obvious likes and dislikes, without the ability to hide or disguise its emotions.
Of course, this might be because it couldn’t hide its emotions when it communicated with Lu Xun through thoughts.
Lu Xun stood there, questioning aloud, “So, all these years, the legacy left by the Sword Mountain Ancestor was distributed by you?”
“Yes!” The monument replied.
It sounded rather smug, as if it wanted to add, “Impressive, huh?”
“So, you called me in to grant me the legacy?” Lu Xun asked again.
“Yes!” came the reply.
For some reason, Lu Xun felt that the monument had taken quite a liking to him.
It was as though the monument saw him as one of its own kind, since they were both Sword Persons and Monument Persons.
The so-called Natural Sword Embryo’s luck was false!
This might really be the reason the monument chose him.
Presently, in front of Lu Xun was a platform, atop which were two boxes.
Both boxes looked rather ordinary, nothing more than simple wooden boxes.
However, there seemed to be some secret methods applied to the boxes that suppressed their emitting spiritual energy.
But Lu Xun could mostly guess what was inside.
Previously, when the Boundary Monument was communicating with him, the little sword in his Sword Heart expressed a strong displeasure.
The reason for its dissatisfaction was two-fold.
Firstly, communicating via thoughts was exclusive to it, but this random stone from who knows where could also do it?
This meant that it was no longer a unique entity.
Secondly, it felt the presence of a sword inside the Boundary Monument!
The little sword was like a kid jealously guarding its territory. Whenever Lu Xun connected with any other sword, it would get jealous.
The monument had the aura of a sword and it was beckoning Lu Xun, so naturally, the little sword expressed a strong hostility.
It was as if the main wife was wary of the mistress.
But then, Lu Xun finally entered.
Well, men…
This showed that at least one of the boxes contained a sword.
Though Lu Xun couldn’t sense it, the little sword in his Sword Heart could.
When Lu Xun asked in his mind, the little sword immediately pointed towards the left, signaling at the box on the left.
After providing the hint, it quickly remembered that it was in its sulking period and wasn’t supposed to be giving any hints…
It messed up there!
“The Boundary Monument can only pass consciousness to me. But it can’t perceive my consciousness and can only hear my words. So it’s not the same as you.” Lu Xun told the little sword.
After thinking it through, the little sword found it to be true.
Then it started vibrating at high speed, expressing its emotions.
Lu Xun looked at the two wooden boxes, feeling a sense of uncanny about it.
The boundary monument looked like a giant tombstone, while the secret realm contained nothing other than the two boxes.
It gave him the feeling of two urns in a tomb.
Of course, they were unlikely to be urns.
At this point, Lu Xun received another string of consciousness from the boundary monument. “So, you want to give me the item in this box?” he asked.
“Yes!” it replied.
Lu Xun hesitated for a moment before walking to the wooden box on the left.
A glow flashed across, and the seal on the box immediately disappeared without a trace.
Lu Xun opened it, but instead of a sword, what he saw was a turquoise glowing ball!
It felt like the little sword in his Sword Heart, or more like a Sword Spirit.
However, it was no longer active but dead.
It was the remnants of the power of a Sword Spirit.
“That’s weird. This thing can be stored away?” Lu Xun was puzzled.
Generally, if a sword is destroyed, the sword spirit would also perish.
He had no idea how the founding ancestor of Sword Mountain managed to do this…
No wonder the little sword in his Sword Heart sensed the presence of a sword within this box. It was actually the remaining energy left by the Sword Spirit.
Lu Xun tried to probe for the basic information about this thing, and unexpectedly, a prompt message occurred in front of him.
‘”Sword Spirit Remnant.’
‘”Can be absorbed by any sword with a Sword Spirit to strengthen the spirit!”‘
“So this is to upgrade the swords.” Lu Xun thought.
“But … I have no sword.” Lu Xun was speechless.
As a sword-less person who embodied the concept of ‘man is the sword,’ he couldn’t possibly devour it, could he?
What if it didn’t digest…
Lu Xun asked the small sword inside his Sword Heart. “Can you absorb this?”
In his opinion, the little sword and the Sword Spirit were similar, yet different entities, so he wasn’t sure if the former could absorb the latter.
Regrettably, it denied it.
Just then, the monument sent him another strand of consciousness.
“Why aren’t you eating?” it asked.
It was like the host who enthusiastically brought out his best delicacies for the guest and was urging the guest to “Eat, eat!”
Lu Xun’s mouth twitched a bit. “If I tell it that I’m not the Sword Person it imagined and that I can’t eat this, will it not give me this energy ball?” he wondered.
Frankly speaking, Lu Xun really wanted this thing. He really, really did.
Although he couldn’t use it, he was reminded of someone who needed this the most when he thought about it.
Little Chan!
His beloved disciple could really use this thing.
Don’t forget, her Partridge Sky was a dying sword!
