Chapter 143 - The Six-Joint Mystics Sword (1/2)

Xun Shu stood at the center of a round-shaped platform. Atop the platform rested what seemed like a golden foundry table. Curls of black flames rose from the table. Something golden shimmered faintly within the flames.

They walked up to take a closer look. An image of a sword floated within the light, undulating like ripples of water. Xun Shu, who was standing beside it, looked stunned. In utter disbelief, he muttered, “How can this be, how can this be?” Stepping back in disappointment, he smiled and said mockingly to himself, “No wonder… no wonder our ancestors said no one could possess this sword. Now I understand why.”

Lonemoon glanced at the sword image in the flames. Suddenly a thought struck him. Frowning, he asked Xun Shu, “Is this… the Six-Joint Mystics Sword?”

Xun Shu stiffened. Clenching his hands, he nodded slowly.

“Then how can it be…” The sword in the flames was clearly only a mirage!

“It’s Mirage Divine Sorcery.” Before Lonemoon could finish his sentence, Xun Shu explained in disappointment, “This sword is sealed in a Chaos void. So although you can see it, you can’t remove it. This is the sword that legends say has the power to create the earth.” Because it was sealed in a Chaos void, unless the person had the ability to break down the barrier, he would not be able to retrieve it.

“You want it?” asked Shen Ying suddenly.

Xun Shu laughed wryly and replied, “Everyone who enters this immortal realm wants this sword.”

“Oh.”

“But it’s a pity the sword isn’t in this realm. No one… Huh? Wait! What are you doing?”

When Xun Shu turned around, he saw Shen Ying extending her hand into the flames.

“This is immortal fire, you cannot…” Before Xun Shu could finish his sentence, Shen Ying had already inserted her hand into the ball of black flames. Gripping the sword tightly, she pulled it directly out of the flames. All at once, the golden light flashed brightly and a dense sword Qi filled the entire area.

She took… took it out?

How could this be possible!?

Shen Ying glanced at the sword in her hand. There was nothing special about it apart from being a bit yellow. She tossed the sword casually to Xun Shu and said, “For you!”

“Huh?”

She’s giving… giving it to him?! Was he dreaming? He looked in disbelief at the sword in his hand, then looked up at the person in front of him. However, she had already turned to look at her companions behind her.

“Father Niu, I think this fire is not bad.”

“Master, this fire is the original source fire of the immortal realm. Ordinary deviant fire cannot compare to it.”

“Oh, then should we take it back with us?”

Lonemoon rolled his eyes at them and said, “Do you need to ask? Of course, we must take it back. But the thing is, this fire burns everything, we have nothing to store it with!”

“Master, I think this table isn’t affected by the fire. Maybe it can contain this fire?”

“Why don’t we… take the whole table with us?”

“That might work. Yi Qing, do you have any more storage bags?”

“I have one and a half bags left. Not sure if it’s enough?”

“Can’t be helped. Let’s try putting it inside.”

So with a look of determination on their faces, the three of them walked towards the deviant fire table, each holding onto a corner of the storage bag.

Xun Shu: “…”

Hey, hey, hey! There’s a perfectly good divine weapon here, why aren’t you looking at it? Why are all of you gazing longingly at the flames? Is the fire more important than this divine weapon? Suddenly he understood what it felt like to be in the land of the blind!

Xun Shu’s mouth twitched. He glanced at Shen Ying, then lowered his head to look at the sword in his hand. Finally he blurted out, “Shen Ying!”

“What?” Shen Ying, who had been directing the removal of the foundry table, turned around.
