269 Unlimited Random Copy (2/2)

”Yes, it is impossible. Because while the main path is inexhaustible, our power is limited. However, what if the world’s main path itself created the immortal treasure?”

Wang Lu asked, ”The world is unkind, it regards everything like dogs or hay, so how could it create immortal treasures for the cultivators? The world is not my family.”

”Haven’t you heard the saying heaven rewards the diligent?”

”What kind of explanation is this?”

”It’s not an explanation. But a supreme main path that many people are acutely not aware of.” Sword Demon lightly smiled. ”In fact, if we consider the amount of effort that the cultivators have invested in their cultivation, it’s not difficult to find that there was nothing in this world that was truly made out of nothing. To obtain inexhaustible magical power, cultivators have to go through a long and bitter hardship. Thus, a different way to look at heaven rewards the diligent is like this, even creating something out of nothing is merely one of the ways the heaven gives back to the cultivators.”

”As long as we try hard, one way or another, there would be a reward?”

”As long as we try hard there would be a reward is of course impossible. Otherwise, there would be no mediocre and incompetent people in this world. The world’s main path is both generous and cold. For some people, it is ruthless, but for other people, it is generous nearly to the level of ‘creating something out of nothing’. And these countless tombs are surely the latter.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Lu couldn’t help but frown. ”That’s too long for an explanation, don’t you feel that you’re too long-winded? Simply speaking, these countless tombs have a feedback mechanism created by the magical ability of those earth immortals. The immortal treasures themselves do not already exist, but according to the earth immortals’ design procedure, you can get immortal treasures given back by the world’s main path.” Wang Lu paused for a moment before saying, ”It’s like teaching people how to fish.”

Sword Demon sighed. ”Sure enough, you really have a good perception. You’re right, it’s like that. In fact, this sword tomb does not even physically exist. It’s just a feedback mechanism that comes out from the combination of the world’s main path and the design, which was combined by those earth immortals. When the circumstances are met, the entrance of the sword tomb would immediately open. Then, when the cultivators enter it, the sword tomb would continue to perfect its interior design. The general idea is similar to now, except for minor differences. The cultivators need to pass through layer upon layer of trials, and finally, they would get the reward according to their efforts. Of course, the reward is not fixed, but there’s a general scope. It’s unlikely to go so far as after going through difficult trials and tribulations to go into the deepest level, there will only be one magical tool there.”

Wang Lu finally concluded, ”Hm, that’s basically a random copy.”

”I don’t know what your so-called random copy is, but it seems that you’ve understood the concept of these tombs. Then let’s go to the next problem. These earth immortals’ inheritance is no doubt considerable, but the premise is that you have to find the key to open the door.”

Wang Lu said, ”Wouldn’t the identity as the successor enough? If there’s still a key that needs to be found, why bother asking you to be the doorman?”

Sword Demon said, ”Theoretically, it doesn’t need to be this troublesome. The key to open the door was already in my hand. However, after more than ten thousand years have passed, many things have already not been in accordance with the theory.” Sword Demon paused for a moment and then laughed. ”In short, the key is lost.”

”It’s lost!?”

”Yes, it’s lost.” Sword Demon said, ”Before my primordial spirit dispersed, those earth immortals placed the key within my sight. However, when I regained my consciousness after more than ten thousand years of deep sleep, the key has already disappeared.”

”In fact, it’s not just the key that disappeared. There are many differences between the current sword tomb and that of the past. The missing parts are quite a lot. Even the most core Yin and Yang division great array has almost gone awry.”

Wang Lu asked, ”Why?”

”There are too many reasons. For example, when the Age of Chaos happened, it affected the whole Nine Regions, and although this sword tomb is an independent existence, it might still receive the ripple. However, the biggest possibility is that, this place has been patronized.” Sword Demon coldly said his own judgment. ”According to the original plan of earth immortals, my deep sleep were at most only several hundred years. Therefore, many things in these place were designed to only be valid for several hundred years. However, the fact is, I was only awakened after more than ten thousand years. During the period of the tomb’s slumber, the hidden spells were already expired, and thus, this place was founded and infiltrated by some grave robbers.”

Wang Lu was silent for a moment. ”So my task is to find the lost key where you don’t know when it’s lost or where it could possibly be? Do you think it’s reasonable?”

”But you have no choice.” Sword Demon said, ”If you want the earth immortal’s inheritance, you have to find the missing key. And of course, it’s not that it’s completely without any clue.”

Sword Demon stuck out three of his fingers. ”There are three clues. First, the key is not destroyed. It does exist. In fact, the key itself could not be completely destroyed. Once the key is destroyed, the earth immortal’s inheritance will automatically generate a new key, which will appear in front of me. And since I don’t see the key, it’s either the mechanism design of the earth immortal is completely ineffective, or the key is taken away by someone else.”

”Second, the key is not an ordinary thing. Based on the level, it’s at least on the same level as an immortal treasure, and it possesses epoch-making magical ability. For such a treasure, it could not be just a nameless object.”

”Third, if you can’t find the clue in the known area, you might want to look farther away. Sixteen thousand years time is enough for anything to change.”

After saying these three clues, Sword Demon looked at Wang Lu while lightly sighing. ”The things that I have to say have already been said. Now it’s time to part our ways.”
