263 Big Capacity (1/2)
It was total darkness.
There was no light coming to his eyes at all… Of course, to say about eyes were a bit far-fetched because right now, Wang Lu has no eyes.
Now, he was in the primordial spirit out of body state. Just now, he used the combination of God Destroying Sword Strike and God-Seal seal to inflict serious damage to Sword God. In defeat, Sword God chose to pull everyone to the grave together with him. Then the primordial spirit black hole suddenly formed, directly pulling his primordial spirit out of his body!
The principle behind how this black hole was able to pull someone’s primordial spirit was temporary still unknown because, theoretically, the protection of Non-Phase Sword on the body could be called an iron wall, so how could his primordial spirit be so easy to drag out? If Sword God could freely tear someone else’s primordial spirit, why didn’t he do it a long time ago? Why wait until now?
However, in his current situation, Wang Lu has completely lost his physical sensation. It was as if his five senses have melted into one, very mysterious but also familiar. This was like the viewpoint when internally looking at his Jade Mansion, which was also known as soul inspection—through primordial spirit.
However, this time, it was not practicing internal inspection. He didn’t even know the current location of his primordial spirit. Wang Lu then urged his primordial spirit, using the soul inspection to tear apart and separate the five senses similar to what his physical body has. A moment later, Wang Lu was able to see himself in the dark.
He was still in the same uniform—the red and white robe that he had worn for more than ten years. This was Wang Lu’s most intuitive image of himself, which caused his primordial spirit form to be shaped like that. After using the soul inspection to disassemble his merged senses, Wang Lu soon saw a little light appearing in the darkness.
After moving toward that light for a while, he soon saw the figure of Zhu Shiyao, very clearly discernible in the middle of the light.
Seeing that slender and slightly delicate figure, Wang Lu was slightly relieved. He had risked his life, from the eight virtues trial deep into here, exactly for this awe-inspiring majestic Big Sister!
Although during which there were many twists and turns, moreover, the current situation was far from being optimal, Wang Lu, nevertheless still smiled as he greeted her, ”Senior Sister, long time no see.”
Upon hearing the voice, Zhu Shiyao turned her head. Obviously, she was also very adept at dismantling the merged senses using soul inspection to turn her primordial spirit similar to her physical form. When she heard his greeting, she somewhat asked in puzzlement, ”Who are you…? You call me Senior Sister, which Junior Brother of Spirit Sword Sect are you?”
Wang Lu immediately startled. Thief grandson, after stabbing people, you pretend you don’t know them!?
However, Zhu Shiyao quickly explained, ”My magical ability Stellar Divine Eyes is not yet complete, so it's still hindering my vision. Please, Junior Brother, display your sword art so that I can recognize you.”
Wang Lu was once again stunned. Thief grandson, you actually can talk this smooth? Has your tongue been straightened out? However, he then quickly realized that it was only through primordial spirit exchange could Zhu Shiyao be able to express herself fluently.
On the other hand, displaying sword art for identification?.. Do you recognize people through swordsmanship?
Upon thinking about that, using his primordial spirit, he sent a Non-Phase Sword Light out. Zhu Shiyao’s face immediately lit up. ”Ah, Non-Phase Sword! Non-Phase Sword of Fifth Junior Aunt! You’re Wang Lu!”
… Girl, what a great eyesight you have. I, with a face that appears in the wet dreams of girls, yet you don’t recognize me. Yet, you clearly know my sword light! What a wonderful hobby you have! People have a variety of interest, yet you find the most unpopular one!
Zhu Shiyao was actually righteous in her conviction. ”What do other people’s interests have anything to do with me? It’s enough for me to only care about swordsmanship.” After a pause, she continued, ”Sure enough, it’s you. Before, I vaguely felt your was very familiar, but I really didn’t think… Sorry for trying to kill you previously.”
Wang Lu was indifferent to this. For him, haggling over this with a disabled person was beneath him. ”It doesn’t matter. I understand.”
Zhu Shiyao was unprepared for this response from Wang Lu, thereupon, her long-prepared apology failed to come out. She opened her mouth, but didn’t know what to say. In the end, she could only blink her pair of seemingly bright eyes, revealing a vacant innocent expression.
After the awkward moment of silent between the two, Zhu Shiyao said, ”Junior Brother, you are also here to compete for the Sword God inheritance?”
Wang Lu peevishly said, ”I came here to save you! In the team leader’s handbook, your name has always been orange in color, meaning you’ve obviously been trapped somewhere in this sword tomb. Therefore, as the team leader, of course I came here to save you. Later on, I heard that you took the ancient Sword God as your godfather, yet, your name in the handbook remains orange, so I know your situation is still not good, most likely it’s because you’ve been deceived by people. Unfortunately, I never have the opportunity to clearly tell you.”
Zhu Shiyao froze for a long time before finally uttering, ”Oh.” And then, a long time later again, she said, ”Thank you.”
”You’re welcome. In any case, although I found you, I’m also trapped here.”
Then he looked around the darkness that surrounded them. The darkness seemed deeper than the previous boundless sea of bitterness. Although the sea of bitterness was boundless, at least, there was the fluctuation of black mist, which caused people to have a sense of orientation and to realize they were not dead. However, this time, except for Wang Lu, Zhu Shiyao and the light that she stood on, there was nothing else, and their surrounding was completely empty.
This was probably some kind of a trap set up by the Sword God using his ancient magical ability before he blew himself off. Basically, he didn’t know how to break away from this place.
Silence descended upon them for quite a while. Then he heard Zhu Shiyao say, ”Junior Brother, you…”
Wang Lu waved his hand. ”I’m fine. Sharing joys and sorrows with the teammates are the duty of the team leader. Regardless of what you think, when we left the mountain, Master and Uncles told me to take care of everyone. Therefore, I have to bear this responsibility. Let alone the situation that we have now is not so bad. Two people trapped together is better than being trapped alone. At least, we can think of the solution.”
”I mean to say, you’re really weak.”
Wang Lu gawked for the time it took to finish a cup of tea; he simply couldn’t stomach such a reply. Big Sister, are you f*cking high? I, your father, have worked so hard to save you, yet, not only did you stab me, you even f*cking scolded me! This is like Pan Jinlian1 [1] who cheated on her husband with the town’s womanizer and then conspired to kill her husband!
Zhu Shiyao said, ”What I mean is, Master once told me that you are the lead representative of the Spirit Sword Sect. In all aspects, you are above me, and you’re likely to inherit the Sect Leader position. However, on our previous fights, you seem weak. At least, you’re not stronger than me.”
