56: Spiritual Realm

Chu Yunxuan opened his spatial ring and once again took the sword into his hand.

This sword gave Chu Yunxuan a certain feeling.

With a casual swing, the power unleashed would be terrifying.

But generally speaking, no matter how powerful it was, its power wouldn't continuously surge outwards.

He should be able to control it.

“Is there such a thing as blood recognition?”

Chu Yunxuan pondered for a moment.

Then he searched on Baidu.

Question: Can a Spiritual Artifact recognize its master through blood?

Answer: [Yes, a Spiritual Artifact must reach the Sacred Rank and derive a Weapon Spirit to do so. Known Sacred Artifacts are almost all forged by the Yao Race, Demon Race, or top-tier powerhouses. Over thousands of years, the Human Race is currently known to possess five Sacred Rank Artifacts, all serving as guardian Sacred Artifacts.]

Chu Yunxuan: “...”

Question: What is a Weapon Spirit?

Answer: [Theoretically, after this world is filled with Origin Qi, everything has the potential to develop sentience. An ordinary tree, nourished by the Qi of Heaven and Earth, might become a Tree Demon. As for Weapon Spirits, due to the extremely high quality of the Materials used to forge Sacred Rank Spiritual Artifacts, and the need for sacrifice to form the Artifact, there is an extremely low probability that a trace of the sacrificer's sentience combines with the Spiritual Artifact, becoming a Weapon Spirit.]

At this moment, Chu Yunxuan remembered something.

The Human Race possessed a Sacred Rank Sacred Artifact called evil spirit, which was a spear.

It was said that evil spirit was forged by sacrificing an evil Dragon.

A thousand years ago, a Heavenly Dao Realm powerhouse of the Human Race encountered an evil Dragon, also in the Heavenly Dao Realm.

After slaying it, he used dragon blood and the Dragon soul to nourish it, creating the Sacred Artifact evil spirit.

When evil spirit was wielded, the roar of a Dragon would echo through the heavens.

“Good heavens! A Sacred Artifact.”

Chu Yunxuan was secretly astonished.

Above Heavenly Rank Spiritual Artifacts were Divine Artifacts.

And above Divine Artifacts were Sacred Rank Artifacts.

The Human Race only knew of five Sacred Artifacts.

These five Sacred Artifacts were all held by the God Alliance and Tianyu.

They were used as guardian Sacred Artifacts.

Of course, it was not ruled out that someone might possess a Sacred Artifact without others knowing.

Chu Yunxuan then searched for other known Sacred Artifacts.

Including the five known to the Human Race, and a total of eighteen known to the Yao Race and Demon Race.

There wasn't a single one with such astonishing cold power.

“None?”

Chu Yunxuan searched many more times carefully.

There were indeed some Spiritual Artifacts related to ice.

But their Realm did not reach the Sacred Artifact level.

Only Sacred Artifacts could have a Weapon Spirit and require blood recognition.

“Could it be my imagination? It doesn't require blood recognition? Is it just because I'm too weak to control this power?”

It was possible.

Randomly obtaining a Sacred Artifact was indeed a bit far-fetched.

Perhaps it was just a Divine Artifact.

“Why not give it a try.” Chu Yunxuan mused.

Then, Chu Yunxuan bit his finger and dripped blood onto the sword.

A blue and white light connected Chu Yunxuan and the sword.

Then, Chu Yunxuan clearly perceived that some kind of connection had formed between himself and this sword.

“Holy cow! It really can recognize its master through blood. Is it really a Sacred Artifact?”

Chu Yunxuan showed a look of pleasant surprise.

It was too outrageous.

After about a few minutes.

The cold power disappeared.

With a thought from Chu Yunxuan.

The sword on the ground flew into his hand.

“Cool!”

Then, Chu Yunxuan put the sword into his spatial ring.

There was no more cold power leaking out.

“What should I call it?”

This sword definitely had its own name, but he didn't know it.

“Forget it, I'll think about it later.”

Chu Yunxuan stood up and walked to the living room, looking outside.

Many people entered the residential area together.

Clearly, they had all run out to see what that pillar of light was.

Seeing nothing, they had returned.

After a while, Lin Ya'er returned.

“Lin Ya'er.” Chu Yunxuan called out with a smile.

“Did you see that pillar of light in Tianhua City just now?” Lin Ya'er asked.

“I saw it.”

Lin Ya'er said, “I went to take a look. Many people from the God Alliance and Tianyu also went, but for some reason, there was nothing there.”

After speaking, she sat on the sofa, her delicate brows slightly furrowed.

“Recently, the area around Tianhua City has become increasingly restless. Oh, right.”

Her beautiful eyes looked at Chu Yunxuan: “Did you see the trending topic? It was just released by the God Alliance official.”

Chu Yunxuan shook his head.

Lin Ya'er said, “That pillar of light last night was caused by the emergence of a Spiritual Realm.”

“Spiritual Realm?”

Chu Yunxuan frowned.

“Yes, the scale seems very large, and I heard it's going to open in a few days.”

Chu Yunxuan: “What is a Spiritual Realm?”

Lin Ya'er explained:

“You can think of it as a tomb.”

“A certain powerhouse, feeling his end was near, used powerful Divine Ability combined with Space Power to create an independent space, and then he entered his own Spiritual Realm to undergo his final meditation.”

Chu Yunxuan: “An independent space?”

Lin Ya'er nodded: “Yes! You can understand it that way. This space is right beside us, but we can't see it, touch it, and we can even pass through it. Only when this space merges with the space we are in will this independent space become visible and accessible to us.”

Chu Yunxuan nodded: “I understand.”

Lin Ya'er continued: “Many years later, the Spiritual Realm's power gradually weakens, and the two spaces slowly converge. At this time, it's called the emergence of a Spiritual Realm, and one can enter the Spiritual Realm to obtain the treasures of that powerhouse from his lifetime.”

Chu Yunxuan: “Is that the only situation?”

Lin Ya'er said: “More or less, because generally only in such situations would one create a Spiritual Realm, otherwise it has no meaning. It's very rare; the last Spiritual Realm appeared eight years ago, and the one before that was ninety years ago.”

It made sense.

It was already very difficult to reach such a high Realm.

And one also needed the ability and Space Power to create a Spiritual Realm.

Most powerhouses, when they died, just died. They truly didn't have the means or ability to create a Spiritual Realm for themselves.

“Wouldn't going in disturb the dead? Would they let us off?”

Lin Ya'er said: “In ninety-nine percent of cases, a powerhouse creates a Spiritual Realm hoping that someone will enter it years later, so that a fated person can fulfill his long-cherished wish.”

“Is there a possibility that he just wanted peace for his deceased self?”

“Yes, that's called a Death Realm. Those who enter it have no way out. Eight years ago, the Spiritual Realm south of Tianhua City was a Death Realm.” Lin Ya'er said.

“Eight years ago, why didn't I know?” Chu Yunxuan blinked.

“Because this Death Realm appeared in the Yao Race territory, specifically within the Yao Domain of the Second Demon God Hall's Demon God, which is closest to our Tianhua City.”

Lin Ya'er continued: “According to the information we received, countless transformed Yao Race powerhouses entered it at that time and were all annihilated. It is said that for this reason, the Second Demon God Hall suffered a great loss of Origin Qi, which is why they haven't attacked Tianhua City for ten years.”

Chu Yunxuan suddenly understood.

“What about this one?”

Lin Ya'er said: “According to the investigations by the God Alliance and Tianyu masters these past two days, it should be the Spiritual Realm of one of our Human Race powerhouses. In thousands of years, the Spiritual Realms created by the Human Race have never been Death Realms.”

“Are you going?” Chu Yunxuan asked.

Lin Ya'er nodded: “Yes.”

“Then I'll go too.”

Lin Ya'er's delicate brows furrowed slightly: “It's very dangerous.”

“I'll follow you.” Chu Yunxuan grinned.

“Alright.” Lin Ya'er nodded slightly.

“At that time, we can go in with the Dean and Mentor Xiao, so we can look out for each other.”

Chu Yunxuan nodded.

“Let's rest. We just need to wait for the Spiritual Realm to open.”

“Okay.”

...

That evening.

Chu Yunxuan's Realm advanced to Mystic Body Realm Eight Stars.

At the same time, a System notification arrived.

“Ding... god system closed.”

Chu Yunxuan felt a bit reluctant.

He felt that if he had the god system in the Spiritual Realm, wouldn't he be invincible?

What a pity.

Why couldn't the god system last a few more days?

“Let's see what new System opens. I hope it's a powerful combat-oriented System, something I can use in the Spiritual Realm.”

Chu Yunxuan rubbed his hands in anticipation.

“Ding... Congratulations, you have activated the [Calamity System].”

Chu Yunxuan: ????
