Chapter 455 Heavenly Sword Immortal"s Most Precious Inheritance!
Tang Li Xue"s heart sank when she saw the rusted black sword completely shattered apart into tiny pieces and fell to the ground after a few whiles.
Even the hilt of the rusted black sword in her grasp was also crumbled to pieces leaving nothing behind.
"How could this sword... Sigh... it seems my deduction is wrong. d.a.m.n it! Does it mean all of my effort to pa.s.s the five trials turns out futile?! Haiiisss... So, I waste so much of my time in this tomb to get nothing?!" Tang Li Xue cursed between her pearl white teeth while gnashed her teeth in anger and unwillingness.
But she quickly took a deep breath to calm down after a few moments while tried to console herself: "Sigh... Forget it... At least, I still managed to comprehend four sword martial art techniques in the second trial plus [Heavenly Sword Immortal"s Manual] in that dark cave. I also managed to get the source of Purple Ghost Flame in the third trial that made Phoenix of Pride evolve to become more powerful."
Just when Tang Li Xue wanted to ask the Tomb Owner"s Will to send her out from here...
"Nyaaaaan~! Nyaaaww~!"
Little Loki that currently sat on Tang Li Xue"s right shoulder, suddenly meowed while tapped its tiny soft paw onto Tang Li Xue"s shoulder again to call her.
"Hm? What is wrong, Little Loki?" Tang Li Xue asked while grabbed Little Loki from her right shoulder and embraced it in her soft bosom.
"Meowww~!"
However, Little Loki suddenly jumped down from Tang Li Xue"s embrace and approached the pile of tiny fragments from the shattered rusted sword.
Watching Little Loki"s action, Tang Li Xue also decided to crouch down and examined the pile of tiny fragments from the shattered rusted sword closer while asked Little Loki again but with a curious tone this time: "Little Loki? What are you looking for? Did you notice something interesting there? Eh? Wait a minute... What is that?"
Tang Li Xue widened her topaz blue eyes in surprise when she saw a transparent tiny sword mixed among the pile of shattered fragments from the rusted black sword.
The size of the transparent tiny sword was even smaller than Tang Li Xue"s pinky finger that the reason why she failed to notice it until now.
Tang Li Xue stretched her right hand to grab the transparent tiny sword since she wanted to examine it closer.
Surprisingly, Tang Li Xue"s right hand failed to touch that transparent tiny sword and only pa.s.sed right through it as if she was trying to touch an illusion.
/p>
"It actually cannot be touched?! This sword... is very strange! What kind of sword is this?" Tang Li Xue exclaimed in shock.
"Congratulations, Fated Young One! Sigh... I cannot believe you were not blinded by the temptation of these many powerful treasured swords and even dared to choose that rusted broken sword. Your wits, resolve, and boldness is highly commendable." The Tomb Owner"s Will commended Tang Li Xue in awe.
"To think you really had successfully chosen the most important inheritance among all of these many inheritances... It seems you really have a high affinity and fate with it." The Tomb Owner"s Will said again with a tone filled with admiration and resignation.
"What?! This... tiny transparent sword is the inheritance you are talking about before?! The one that can create a huge bloodbath among all of the Immortal powerhouses in the Central Continent?! You must be kidding with me, right?" Tang Li Xue blurted out in disbelief.
"It will take too long to explain it, and I know you do not have much time left in Inheritance Ground Tablet. You will certainly know the reason why this inheritance is so precious soon anyway after you get it, so I will not waste any time explaining it. Let"s start the implant process now!" The Tomb Owner"s Will replied to Tang Li Xue.
SWOOOOSSSHHH~!!!
After the Tomb Owner"s Will finished his words, the transparent tiny sword suddenly flashed toward Tang Li Xue"s face!
Both Tang Li Xue and Little Loki never expected that the transparent tiny sword would suddenly move so fast, so both of them did not have any time to react at all.
When they realized it, the transparent tiny sword already entered Tang Li Xue"s forehead and vanished from their view.
"AAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHH~!!!" Tang Li Xue shouted out loud when the head-splitting pain a.s.saulted her mind all of a sudden after the transparent tiny sword entered her forehead.
Tang Li Xue fell onto the ground with both of her hands holding her head, and she started rolling on the ground while kept screaming in pain.
Meanwhile, Little Loki felt lost and did not know what it must do to cure Tang Li Xue"s pain, so it could only bare its teeth to its surrounding in anger as if it tried to threaten the Tomb Owner"s Will to relieve Tang Li Xue"s pain.
GGGGRRRRRR~!!! Nyaaaaawwwww~!!!
"Do not worry, little friend. I only implant the tiny transparent sword into her mind and integrate it into her sea of consciousness since that sword is the inheritance she had already chosen. Although the process is a bit painful, but I can guarantee the outcome will satisfy both of you and her." The Tomb Owner"s Will explained to Little Loki.
Little Loki calmed down after it heard the explanation from the Tomb Owner"s Will, but it rolled its third eye when the Tomb Owner"s Will said "a bit painful".
/p>
Little Loki glanced at Tang Li Xue that still kept shouting in pain while rolling on the ground with worry. Even her face and clothes were already soaked in her cold sweat.
"You said that this is only a bit painful?!" Little Loki thought.
Luckily, Tang Li Xue"s head-splitting headache only lasted for about fifteen minutes or so before it dissipated bit by bit.
After the head-splitting pain completely subsided, Tang Li Xue"s appearance looked really disheveled. Even her face looked dirty since it was already covered with her own sweat, tear, and snot.
She could not even think anything for a few minutes after the head-splitting pain had subsided.
"Huff... Cough... Cough... Cough... What... the h.e.l.l... Huff... Huff... Huff... are you doing to me?" Tang Li Xue asked with great difficulty while breathing heavily.
Tang Li Xue"s mind still felt extremely dizzy, but she still forced herself to ask the Tomb Owner"s Will since she did not hear what he had explained to Little Loki before.
The Tomb Owner"s Will did not bother to explain again to Tang Li Xue and only replied: "Try to check your sea of consciousness first."
"My sea... of consciousness?" Tang Li Xue murmured in confusion.
Tang Li Xue felt skeptical at the Tomb Owner"s Will, and she frowned deeply, but she still decided to close her eyes and check her sea of consciousness.
Tang Li Xue felt baffled in an instant when she saw the tiny transparent sword was floating right above her sea of consciousness.
Tang Li Xue immediately understood what the Tomb Owner"s Will did to her just now.
Instead of feeling happy or curious, Tang Li Xue felt even more scared and nervous.
The sea of consciousness was the most important part of every soul.
In short, the sea of consciousness was something like the brain in any human"s body.
/p>
In fact, the sea of consciousness was actually much more important than the brain for all cultivators or beasts since their comprehension ability, control of divine ability or Qi, and cultivation speed depended on it.
If the sea of consciousness was damaged even if it was just a tiny bit, it would hinder their control of divine ability or Qi, their cultivation would be stuck in the current stage, and their comprehension ability would get crippled.
If the sea of consciousness was damaged quite heavily, anyone would turn into an idiot in an instant.
Integrating the tiny transparent sword into her sea of consciousness was a very dangerous action, akin to implanting a chip into a normal human"s brain with surgery.
Tang Li Xue quickly checked her sea of consciousness in anxiousness.
She only sighed in relief after checking several times to make sure that her sea of consciousness was completely intact and undamaged.
But after that, Tang Li Xue became really angry and scolded the Tomb Owner"s Will: "d.a.m.n you! How dare you do something dangerous like that without asking for my opinion first?! What if my sea of consciousness accidentally got damaged, and I turn into an idiot?!"
"Young successor, you are worrying too much. I already spent the rest of my life researching about it after I fled from Central Continent and entered this Lightwind Continent, so how could I make such a stupid blunder." The Tomb Owner"s Will replied with a displeased tone.
"A stupid blunder you say?! Do you think you are a G.o.d or something?! Even the greatest surgeon can still make a mistake!" Tang Li Xue shouted back again with an angry tone.
"What is "surgeon"?" The Tomb Owner"s Will asked.
Tang Li Xue: "....."
"Forget it. I will give you the rest of your inheritance now. Are you ready to accept it? I already ask, so don"t whine later and say that I do it without asking again!" The Tomb Owner"s Will blurted to Tang Li Xue.
Tang Li Xue"s topaz blue eyes were s.h.i.+ning brighter when she heard the words from the Tomb Owner"s Will, but she immediately turned vigilant and said: "Eh? There is still more inheritance for me?! Wait for a second... Is it something very painful like before? I rather not accept it if I must suffer like before."
The Tomb Owner"s Will was too lazy to reply to Tang Li Xue"s question, and he just gave the rest of the inheritance to Tang Li Xue.
WEEEEEEEEENGGGG~!!!
/p>
A blinding light suddenly shone right above Tang Li Xue, and two items appeared from that blinding light.
Tang Li Xue immediately stretched both of her hands to catch the two falling items.
Tang Li Xue glanced at the two items that she caught and found out that they were actually a burnt scroll and a dilapidated thick book.
