When Huo Ling'er appeared, the old man was startled. Looking closely, he realized she was a flame spirit. However, when he felt the vast sea of flame power within her, he was both surprised and delighted.
Because the Tianyu Sword is a fire-attribute divine weapon, with enough flame power to reactivate its runes. Although the artifact spirit has already vanished, whoever can activate its runes can wield it.
"Buzz"
When Huo Ling'er's small hand pressed on the Tianyu Sword, it seemed as if a riverbed dried up for ten thousand years was now receiving a water source, frantically absorbing Huo Ling'er's power.
"Buzz buzz buzz... The
Tianyu Sword trembled continuously, and the dim runes on the sword lit up one after another. Soon, all the runes on the sword were awakened, and at that moment, the entire sword trembled violently.
"Buzz!"
The long sword suddenly shrank to just over three feet long, floating right in front of Huo Ling'er. Huo Ling'er looked at the Tianyu Sword with excitement. The sword was completely reborn and was about to recognize her as its master.
Huo Ling'er looked at Long Chen, who then looked at the old man. Without hesitation, the old man said, "Just recognize it as your master. We are deeply grateful that you have given it a new lease on life." "
This Tianyu Sword is the spiritual sustenance of everyone in Tianyu City. The artifact spirit is dead, and the energy left within the runes will quickly dissipate. If not for Huo Ling'er, the sword would have been completely destroyed."
Huo Ling'er activated the original runes, giving birth to new intelligence. Although it was no longer the original Tianyu Sword, it was still a continuation of life, something worth celebrating.
Seeing the old man agree, Huo Ling'er called out excitedly, "Thank you, Grandpa!" Huo
Ling'er grabbed the Tianyu Sword, and endless runes lit up on it, flowing like water into her arm. At that moment, her aura merged with the Tianyu Sword.
And the moment Tian Yujian completed its mastery recognition, Huo Ling'er's aura suddenly dropped significantly, startling Long Chen.
"Brother Long Chen, don't be nervous. After it completes its mastery recognition, our powers will be connected, energy will be shared. Its power is my strength, and my strength is its power.
However, it's been consumed too much, causing a major loss of its origin. I need to rely on the power of the Taiyin Tree and the Fusang Ancient Wood to help it recover. Brother Long Chen, you'll have to work a bit harder!" Huo Ling'er said.
"Buzz."
After speaking, Huo Ling'er's figure flickered, and with the Tianyu Sword, returned to the chaotic space. After returning to the chaotic space, she transformed into a giant dragon, lying above the void, absorbing the power of the Lunar Fire and the Solar Fire to help the Tianyu Sword recover.
At this moment, Tianyu Sword clung to a lifeline like a drowning man, desperately absorbing the power of the flames. The once thriving forest began to look listless again.
This Tianyu Sword is too powerful. To recover, it needs to consume endless energy. Clearly, the current Lunar Fire and Solar Fire are only enough to relieve urgent needs; for it, it's just a drop in the bucket.
Long Chen was both shocked and delighted at the sight. It also proved the strength of the Tianyu Sword. With such a divine weapon in hand, Huo Ling'er's strength was truly terrifying. The urgent task now was to help the Tianyu Sword quickly regain its strength.
According to the information Huo Ling'er conveyed, because the Tianyu Sword was severely depleted, like a man on the verge of collapse, her current strength could only ensure those runes wouldn't collapse. The Tianyu Sword was not yet suitable for combat.
Seeing the Tianyu Sword taken away, the old man's eyes showed a trace of reluctance. Looking at the empty ancient pagoda, he felt a sense of loss and melancholy.
"Senior, rest assured. Leave the matters of Tianyu City to me. Could you tell me about the current situation in Tianyu City?" Long Chen said.
Huo Ling'er had obtained the Tianyu Sword. Long Chen originally just wanted to add a nice bonus, but now he couldn't. If he didn't handle this matter clearly, how could he accept such a great favor from her?
Long Chen took out two chairs. After they sat down, the old man began to explain the current situation in Tianyu City to Long Chen.
The old man's surname was Chu, his given name He. He was a Nine-Meridian Human Emperor, the pinnacle of modern cultivation in Tianyu City. It was precisely because of him that Tianyu City's safety was ensured.
However, he was born at the wrong time. At his peak, the Tianyu Sword had already reached its limit. Apart from intimidating enemies, it had no other abilities. Otherwise, Chu He would have wiped out the Golden Lion and Stone Spirit clans with his sword, eliminating future threats.
Although Chu He's strength reached the Nine-Meridian Human Emperor level, he encountered problems while continuing to break through to half-step Immortal Emperor, causing a severe loss of cultivation. Without pills to heal, he never had another chance to improve.
The hidden injury left from that time had tormented him for countless years. Although the strongest members of the Stone Spirit and Golden Lion clans were only Emperors of the Seven Veins, he still dared not act rashly.
Because he couldn't afford to fight. If anything happened to him, the entire Tianyu City would be wiped out. He didn't dare to risk everyone's lives.
The Golden Lion Clan and the Stone Spirit Clan also dared not provoke them, since the Nine Veins Human Emperor's power was terrifying. They had been living in constant fear, unable to figure out the situation here.
Knowing the situation was dire, Chu He began to focus on training successors. He had four disciples, one of whom was named Jiang Yiming, who was his most prized disciple.
Jiang Yiming is gifted and highly perceptive, and is deeply favored by Chu He, who believes he is the only one among the disciples who has the potential to surpass him.
But unexpectedly, as Jiang Yiming's strength increased, his temper grew stronger and his desire to control grew stronger. Relying on his strength, even his junior brothers would curse at will, and if anyone dared talk back, he would hit them immediately.
There was even one time when he tried to have an affair with his junior sister and was caught by Chu He, who nearly drove him to death and was about to execute her.
Although Chu He was kind-hearted, he placed great importance on etiquette and character. He hadn't expected that he had misjudged him. This guy's previous obedience and sensibility were all just an act. As he grew stronger, his evil nature gradually became apparent.
However, after countless powerful figures pleaded, Chu He ultimately did not execute him. Instead, he locked him in a dungeon to confess. If he did not repent, he would be locked up forever.
But no one expected that Jiang Yiming's father, feeling sorry for his son, would use his connections to obtain the dungeon key and secretly let his son out.
He knew his son's temperament and that changing it was impossible. He let his son go and let him fight for it. Rather than being locked up here until death, he might as well go to the Tianyuan World to see what if he managed to break through.
At that time, Jiang Yiming was already a dual-vein Human Emperor, with astonishing strength. Within Tianyu City, only a handful could defeat him.
However, what his father did not expect was that Jiang Yiming did not go to the Tianyuan World but went directly to the Stone Spirit clan.
When Long Chen heard that this guy had gone to the Stone Spirit clan, he was taken aback: "He betrayed us?" "
Not only has he betrayed, he's now the deputy chief of the Stone Spirit Clan!" Mentioning Jiang Yiming, a cold murderous intent flashed in Chu He's eyes.
"Whoa, is this okay?" Long Chen was stunned.
