According to the original plot, Xiahou Cenyi resolved her own Tribulation, all by herself. The specific situation was not mentioned in detail. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of years later, the Grand Elder at the peak of the Crossing Calamity stage came out of seclusion when the Sky Treasure Pavilion was besieged. She was like a thunderbolt and dealt with all those who had objections.
It was very unlikely for such an important character to be ignored, and the players on the forum all agreed that there was a follow-up story to unfold.
However, Liu Yuan did not expect it to be related to his weapon.
However, Liu Yuan felt that this was probably a butterfly effect, because when Xiahou was crossing the Tribulation, this sword was just an ordinary exhibit of the Sky Treasure Pavilion. It did not make sense that it was where Xiahou Cenyi’s Tribulation was.
It was more likely that Liu Yuan’s transmigration had restored Evil Heart of Killing in advance and awakened it to the present world, which led to a chain effect. But what was the connection between Xiahou Cenyi and this mysterious evil sword?
Since it was a matter of life and death, Xiahou Cenyi had no reason to lie to Liu Yuan. She said that she had not calculated much either, which probably meant that it was true. Even the Grand Elder could not tell where the Tribulation was, which showed how dangerous it was.
Or, Xiahou thought that Liu Yuan’s current ability was not enough to solve the problem, so she chose to hide it. This way, he would not be involved in the trouble.
‘Ling Hua is right. If I can’t be stronger than them, dozens of times stronger, I really can’t make them join my harem… Not to mention, they are too involved with me, so the possibility of the plot changing greatly increases. Seriously speaking, if there is any danger, it is because of me, and I have to bear this responsibility.’
Liu Yuan thought to himself and could not help frowning. However, the origins of the Evil Heart of Killing were mysterious, and the official weapon introduction did not provide much explanation. It seemed that when it first appeared in the world, it was already in a state of controlling people to do evil, creating a demon figure called the Blood Fiend Demon Lord.
However, this person was not the first one to be controlled by Evil Heart. There were countless vengeful souls locked in Evil Heart before this. It was only when the Blood Fiend Demon Lord became famous that Evil Heart gained attention and gradually became famous.
The previous Sword Master before Liu Yuan was a Righteous figure of the Immortal path named Daoist Master Yun Yin. After killing almost all of his disciples, he finally became completely insane because of his profound Dao. He destroyed his Dantian and died together with the sword spirit that had been nourished by the Evil Sword at that time.
The evil sword was blunt and had been lost for many years. It was then collected by the Sky Treasure Pavilion and placed on the shelf.
boxn ov el. c o mIt would be difficult to investigate the origin of this sword…
‘Perhaps I can only start from Xiahou’s side,’ Liu Yuangang thought. He turned to look at Xiahou Cenyi, who was still looking at him. When their eyes met, they both subconsciously looked away.
Then, he was stunned — why should I look away?
Liu Yuan subconsciously looked at Ling Hua again and found that she had been looking at him. He immediately understood that when he was frowning and thinking, the two of them were looking at him quietly.
Although he had been reprimanded by Ling Hua and teased by Xiahou, these two famous women still regarded him as their leader.
They were waiting for him to make a decision and naturally would not interrupt his thinking.
Liu Yuan wanted to ask Xiahou about the sword, but the Grand Elder pushed the sword to him with a smile and placed it beside him.
“I don’t need you for my Tribulation. You’re a little man who hasn’t even recovered his cultivation, so you don’t have to care about it for the time being. Why don’t you solve your own problem first?”
Xiahou did not want to tell me… She chose to split her soul during her Tribulation. In fact, there were already signs of danger, and she might not be confident.
When Immortal cultivators cultivated to the Crossing Calamity stage, they had to go through the five Tribulations of birth, old age, illness, death, and bitterness, in addition to the three Tribulations of thunder, wind, and fire. Only then could they reach the next level and achieve the Mahayana stage.
During this process, he also experienced the Mental Demon Tribulation, which was especially powerful when he was going through the fifth Tribulation. Xiahou Cenyi’s cultivation was now at the fifth Tribulation stage, which happened to be the ‘bitterness’ Tribulation.
It’s hard not to get what you want.
Liu Yuan felt that this Tribulation had something to do with him, but he could not figure out why it was related to his Evil Heart Sword.
But since Xiahou did not want to tell him, it would not be good for him to ask.
In the game, it was just a matter of completing a mission, pressing a button, and leveling up. But here, it was a real life-and-death juncture. If one was not careful, one’s Dao Heart could collapse.
If there was nothing to be done, and he asked a few more questions that would make Xiahou worry and cause her to develop Mental Demons, it would not be worth it.
Liu Yuan’s thoughts disappeared in a flash. He lowered his head and looked at his tied hands. Then, he looked at Ling Hua and said, “It’s a long story…”
“Then make it short,” Xiahou Cenyi said with a smile. “I still remember you saying that you lost all your cultivation after you came back from the Sea Slashing Tower.”
Oh, so you remember?
Liu Yuan’s eyelids twitched as he recalled how he had been caught off guard by the Grand Elder and peed his pants, even dropping his sword.
Ling Hua’s expression did not change. She lowered her beautiful eyes and said, “The Sea Slashing Tower?”
Liu Yuan subconsciously trembled when he saw her expression. He then thought of what she had said before and smiled awkwardly. “It’s a long story… It’s a really long story!”
The last sentence was naturally directed at Xiahou Cenyi, and he reached out to stop her from tickling him. However, he was ‘weak’ at the moment, so how could he stop the powerful Grand Elder of the Sky Treasure Pavilion?
Xiahou pressed down Liu Yuan’s hand and lay on his body with a smile. Liu Yuan could not help but tremble.
The Grand Elder rested her chin on his shoulder, hugged him with both hands, and whispered into his ear, “Then let’s talk about the demonic Qi in your body first. A normal human’s body can’t contain demonic Qi at all unless they’ve already been parasitized by a demon. But Junxuan, you’re still a real human.”
At this very moment.
Liu Yuan almost could not control his emotions. He thought of the time when she held his hand and helped him cut the sword in the City of Ten Thousand Swords, and then he saw the intimate scene of the two reflected in the clear and indifferent eyes of Ling Hua in front of him.
Xiahou chuckled in his ear. “You’re blushing…”
Liu Yuan retreated in defeat. He could only take a deep breath and force himself to calm down. With great difficulty, he explained the matter of the Ultimate Taiyi Dao, the Heavenly Demon, and the stone tablet that had been divided into three parts.
“If that’s the case,” Xiahou Cenyi muttered, “the stone tablet mistook you for a demon because of the large amount of demonic Qi in your body, and you obtained the demon race’s cultivation technique?”
Liu Yuan nodded, secretly rejoicing that he had managed to divert this woman’s attention.
