Chapter 2310: Primeval Qi (1/2)
Jian Chen was overjoyed by the awakening of the sword spirits. Ever since he assisted Mo Tianyun’s original body in breaking free and fused the twin swords, the sword spirits had fallen into a slumber due to overexertion. No matter how he called them during this time, he had received no response at all.
Now that the sword spirits were finally beginning to awaken, Jian Chen would obviously be delighted.
But at the same time, he realised that the old man before him was not simple. He had a vague feeling that the sword spirits only began to awaken because of this old man.
The sword spirits appeared above Jian Chen’s head as two young people completely condensed from light. The man was handsome, while the woman was pretty. They seemed like a matching pair.
They stared at the old man condensed from azure light, and they gradually became stern. They called out, “Primeval Qi. I never thought we would see a spirit transformed from a strand of Primeval Qi.”
Jian Chen was surprised. He could not help but study the old man closely. Even though he did not really understand what Primeval Qi was, he had somewhat realised that the old man was an existence similar to the sword spirits.
The old man stared at the sword spirits with mixed feelings and sighed in amazement, “Spirits formed from yin Qi and yang Qi. I never thought that after so many years, I would be able to meet existences similar to me in this cursed land. But it seems like you’re extremely weak.”
“Old senior, are you the hall spirit of this divine hall?” Jian Chen could not contain his curiosity and asked for confirmation.
The old man looked at Jian Chen and nodded, “That’s right. I’m the hall spirit.”
“Then may I ask where the master of this divine hall is?” Jian Chen continued his questions.
The old man sighed gently as he became slightly dispirited. He said glumly, “Master has already passed away in the flow of time. He isn’t from this aeon.”
The eyes of the sword spirits lit up when they heard that. They asked, “You’re from the previous aeon?”
The old man shook his head again and replied, “It should be the aeon before that if you want to be more accurate.”
“The aeon before that?” The sword spirits were surprised. They looked at the old man deeply and said, “Since you’ve existed for so long, why haven’t there been any rumors regarding you in the outside world?”
“That’s because I’m trapped here. I can’t leave, and no one knows about this place either. Obviously, there will be no news about me at all in the outside world,” said the old man. He glanced at Jian Chen and the sword spirits deeply and continued, “You’re the first group of living souls I’ve seen in the countless years since my master passed away as well as the first living creatures to set foot in this cursed land.”
“Cursed land? Why is this place referred to as a cursed land? And what’s with the mist outside? Is the mist responsible for trapping you here?” Jian Chen asked.
“Nay. The mist you see is not what traps me. Instead, it is a wondrous power that was created by the fusion of the power of the curse and the power of the Primeval Divine Hall. In regards to the cursed land, the World of Moon and Star you were in before and where the Primeval Divine Hall stands all belong to it.”
