Significant

Sword Spiriter glanced at the Sword Tomb.

A look of reverence flashed in her eyes.

"Approximately twenty thousand years ago, a crisis swept across the entire True Domain."

"At that time, countless demons invaded the True Domain, plunging the entire True Domain into a catastrophe of extinction."

"Just as everyone in the True Domain fell into despair, a Sword Immortal appeared, holding the Tianwen Sword."

"With a single sword, he slew demons, vanquished evil, and saved all living beings from dire straits."

"After the demonic calamity ended, countless people were immersed in the cheers of victory, yet some saw that adult silently standing at a shattered Sect gate, and he stood there for a hundred years!"

"That day, the Sword Immortal threw the Tianwen Sword, which had saved the world, into the Divine Weapon Mountain Range."

"From then on, he disappeared and went into seclusion; no one in the entire True Domain ever saw that adult's figure again."

"Some say that the Sword Immortal saved the world but failed to save the person he cared about most."

"He buried the Tianwen Sword in the Divine Weapon Mountain Range and went into seclusion from then on; what was buried was not just a sword, but too many other things."

"Since then, the Divine Weapon Mountain Range was renamed the Sword Tomb."

"Some, to thank the Sword Immortal for his great benevolence, willingly entered the Sword Tomb to guard the Sword Immortal's sword."

"Others, when their Lifespan was nearing its end, sent their Divine Weapons, containing their life's essence, into the Sword Tomb to nurture the Tianwen Sword."

"As time passed, and as more and more Divine Weapons entered the Sword Tomb, the Sword Tomb was imbued with a special meaning."

"Some Dao experts who were about to pass away would place their Legacy into the Sword Tomb, leaving a fortune for future generations."

"Because of this, the entire Sword Tomb is also known as the place where death and new life converge."

At this point, Sword Spiriter's voice paused, and she was filled with a fervor.

"Although the Sword Immortal has disappeared, he not only saved the entire True Domain but also left an inexhaustible and immense Treasure Trove for the True Domain."

"That is the power of the Legacy!"

"There are thousands upon thousands of Divine Weapons in the Sword Tomb, and each Divine Weapon is a Legacy."

"With the Sword Tomb, the Legacy in our True Domain will never cease, and the Legacy will continue endlessly; all of this is due to the Sword Immortal's merit."

Hearing this, Zhong Qing's eyes moved: "That Sword Immortal, do you know his name?"

"Gu—Chen—Xian!"

As soon as this name was spoken, Zhong Qing's eyes showed not only surprise but also a hint of realization.

"Indeed!"

He had long seen that his future precious Disciple had many extraordinary qualities.

But he hadn't expected his background to be so astonishing.

Tens of thousands of years ago, he had already left an immortal legend in the True Domain.

"Can you tell me the specific deeds of this Sword Immortal?"

Zhong Qing looked at the Sword Tomb and asked again.

Sword Spiriter didn't think much of it.

After all, the Sword Immortal's life was too legendary.

Anyone who had heard his deeds couldn't help but feel respect and want to delve into his life story.

However, although the Sword Immortal's name was renowned throughout the True Domain, echoing across the world, enduring, and immortal for ten thousand years, no one knew his origin.

As for his deeds, they only became widely known after he slew demons in one battle and saved the True Domain from dire straits.

As for more, it was mostly hearsay and fabrications.

Sword Spiriter only selected a few familiar and verified pieces of information to tell Zhong Qing.

Zhong Qing silently drank his wine and listened quietly.

He couldn't help but think that the Sword Tomb and the True Domain probably held extraordinary significance for his Disciple.

He had originally thought about whether to simply reveal his identity and take him as a Disciple, as he did last time.

But now it seemed better to wait until his Disciple had finished his business.

As he was pondering, Sword Spiriter extended a hand and waved it in front of him.

"Benefactor, are you also here to contend for the Sword Immortal Inheritance?"

Zhong Qing shook his head.

What a joke.

He was here to take the Sword Immortal as a Disciple; how could he possibly contend for this Sword Immortal Inheritance?

Moreover, he knew that the emergence of the Heavenly Question was not some Sword Immortal Inheritance at all, but his Disciple's return, about to reclaim his sword.

However, this answer caused Sword Spiriter to misunderstand.

"That's right!"

"The inheritor of the Sword Immortal Inheritance must be a genius of unparalleled talent, with Supreme aptitude, and also possess a profound Dao connection."

"This time, countless forces from the entire True Domain are bound to participate in the competition for the Sword Immortal Inheritance."

"The competition will be unprecedented."

"In my opinion, what you can get your hands on is the best."

"How about we work together to contend for other Legacies?"

"In the Sword Tomb, besides the Sword Immortal Inheritance, there are also twelve Great Supreme Legacies, and even Saint Legacies."

This wasn't Sword Spiriter intentionally looking down on Zhong Qing; after all, the True Domain was vast, and there were countless experts from all sides. She never even considered that the person in front of her would possess the power to overwhelm the entire True Domain.

Zhong Qing was about to refuse.

After all, he was no longer the same as before.

The so-called Saint Legacy held no appeal for him whatsoever.

But then he thought about it.

His precious Disciple would definitely take the Tianwen Sword, and he couldn't leave early, so it might be good to go into the Sword Tomb and look around.

"Alright!"

Thinking of this, he directly agreed to Sword Spiriter's suggestion.

Upon hearing this, Sword Spiriter's face showed a hint of excitement.

"Yay!"

"With your participation, Benefactor, plus my trump card, and when the people from my Sect arrive, a Saint Realm expert's Legacy might be too much to hope for, but a Supreme Legacy might not be impossible to contend for."

Zhong Qing looked at her lively and jumping demeanor and couldn't help but smile, saying: "Then good luck, I wish you an early victory, and I hope you can obtain that Saint Legacy."

Sword Spiriter stuck out her tongue: "Thank you for your encouragement, Benefactor!"

"I will definitely work hard."

"However, a Supreme Legacy is already enough for me."

"As for a Saint Legacy, I don't even dare to dream of it."

Zhong Qing smiled; this Sword Spiriter was quite down-to-earth.

Many people wanted to contend for the best.

But often, their aspirations were higher than the sky, while their fate was as thin as paper.

He took another sip of wine and looked at the Sword Tomb: "Do you know when this Sword Tomb will open?"

Sword Spiriter quickly said: "Normally, the Sword Tomb opens once every hundred years."

"There are still several years until the next opening of the Sword Tomb."

"However, with the Heavenly Question emerging as the Supreme sacred object in the hearts of the people of the True Domain, its agitation will inevitably select its master."

"I imagine that in a few days, as more people arrive, the entire Sword Tomb will fully open."

Zhong Qing nodded.

Now, he was just waiting for the Sword Tomb to officially open to see how his Disciple would retrieve the sword.
