As the Universe Turns - Chapter 577
Chapter 577 Di Gu
“Why … is there a aura of death on you?”
Hua Weiyang looked at him, thinking that he wouldn’t have sensed anything wrong just now. How could there be such a heavy aura of death on his body? Why was his memory always blurry …
“It’s fine.”
Xiao Chen looked at her and recalled that back in the Immortal North Ancient Realm, because of the life and death backlash in his body, she went to the Spirit Mountain Heavenly Spirit Sect to ask for the seed of evergreen flowers and leaves, but now, she didn’t even remember anything.
“Let’s go.”
Xiao Chen turned around and looked at the ancient palace that had been quiet for a long time. “There shouldn’t be any obstruction anymore. Let’s go in and take a look,” he said.
Hua Weiyang’s face was still a little strange, but seeing that he didn’t say anything and didn’t ask any more questions, the two of them walked into the ancient palace.
Upon arriving at the ancient palace, the two of them immediately felt an aura of emperor. This aura was especially suffocating.
The two of them carefully moved forward, and the further they went, the denser this aura became. Obviously, it was getting closer and closer to the thing that had been silent for tens of thousands of years.
“I didn’t expect that there would be such a huge ancient palace here. Could it be … this is the real Sword Tomb, right? The place where the sword was buried, but who would bury the sword here …”
As Hua Weiyang whispered, he focused on sensing the things nearby. He felt that there was something strange about this place. How could there be such a place in the depths of a hundred thousand dense forests? This is too strange …
After walking for a while, the two finally arrived at the center of the ancient palace. This place had been abandoned for a long time, and it was already covered in weeds. Thorned vines covered the entire palace. It looked exceptionally desolate, and the aura of an emperor actually came from this place.
“Idiot … look!”
Hua Weiyang’s expression suddenly changed. He pointed at the pile of rubble in the middle of the hall. There was actually a sword stabbed into the pile of rubble. The sword was covered in dust, and he could no longer see the original appearance of the sword. However, the aura of an emperor came from the sword.
“This is …”
Xiao Chen’s gaze focused. He couldn’t see the origin of the sword. It was covered in dust, and he couldn’t see the original appearance of the sword.
“Wait … be careful.”
As Xiao Chen spoke, he slowly walked over. As he approached, he flicked his palm and a strong wind blew away, sweeping away the dust on the sword.
This sword was especially simple. I don’t know what material it was made of. It looked like Xuan Iron, but Xuan Iron wouldn’t have such an imposing aura. Why did this sword actually have such an imperial aura?
“Looks like this is the sword that the Tai Shi Dao Sect is looking for. It has been buried here for tens of thousands of years, and the sun is not visible. However, this sword energy is still alive. The Emperor’s Qi is still there. It is indeed extraordinary …”
As Hua Weiyang spoke, he slowly approached the sword. He reached out and held it on the hilt, wanting to pick it up. However, no matter how hard he tried, he was unable to shake the sword at all. He tried several times. No matter how hard he tried, the sword was still standing on the ground, motionless and as quiet as an abyss.
“How could it be …”
Hua Weiyang couldn’t help but frown, as if he was still unwilling. He tried again, but the ancient sword still didn’t move at all.
Right at this moment, a young man’s voice suddenly sounded behind the two of them, “Little girl, it’s better to move aside. Di Gu, how can you pick it up just by saying that?”
“Su Ye …”
Hearing this voice, Xiao Chen immediately turned around and saw that Su Ye had come out of Fuxi Zither at an unknown time. At this moment, there was an indescribable loneliness and vicissitudes in his eyes.
“Indeed, Di Gu’s aura …”
Su Ye slowly arrived in front of the ancient sword. At this moment, the loneliness and vicissitudes in his eyes became even more obvious. He was an ancient soul and had seen the prosperity and decline of the world time and time again. He had just sensed the aura of the sword before he woke up.
“Di Gu …”
After a long time, he slowly spat out two words from Su Ye’s mouth. Although it was only two words, at this moment, it was as if he had endured ten thousand years of vicissitudes. No one could understand his current mood.
“Wait … who are you?”
Hua Weiyang looked at the strange youth who had suddenly appeared in front of him. For some reason, he felt an indescribable sense of familiarity. It was as if he had met him before. It was as if he had seen him somewhere, but he couldn’t remember anything.
“Little girl, if you don’t remember me, you don’t remember me.”
Su Ye said indifferently, his gaze never moving away from the ancient sword in front of him.
Xiao Chen was standing at the side. Hearing this, she was suddenly puzzled. Wei Yang did not remember what happened in the past. At that time, she had seen Su Ye in the Immortal Northern Ancient Realm and knew Su Ye. However, Su Ye’s words did not seem to mean that Wei Yang had forgotten what happened a few years ago. Instead, it referred to a very long time ago …
Master once said that Su Ye had slept in the Fuxi zither for three hundred years, but now he had only woken up. Could it be that he had seen Wei Yang three hundred years ago? Then isn’t Wei Yang already over three hundred years old? How is this possible …
“Hey, idiot, what are you thinking?” Seeing that he suddenly had a strange expression, Hua Weiyang asked with a frown.
“No, nothing …”
Xiao Chen shook his head. Actually, he didn’t know about Hua Weiyang’s origins until now, but this wasn’t the time to think about those things. He asked, “Su Ye, did you just say that this sword is called ‘Di Gu’?”
“Ah, I’ve forgotten everything before me …”
Hua Weiyang also turned around and looked at Su Ye, saying, “Di Gu … I seem to have heard of this name somewhere before. What exactly is the origin of this sword?”
Su Ye coldly snorted, his hands tied to his chest, “It’s fine to tell you. Di Gu is the first sword of the six peerless ancient profound weapons … The name is Di Gu.”
“Six peerless profound weapons …”
Xiao Chen’s eyebrows narrowed. He hadn’t expected this sword to have such a great background. No wonder it had such an imperial aura. Once this sword was unleashed, it would be enough to intimidate millions of swords in the world.
Su Ye continued, “When the chaos first opened, the world was accompanied by twelve spirit veins. They were the source of all living beings’ spirit elongation. In the billions of years that followed, all walks of life fought for spirit veins, causing annihilation to come. Until later, six peerless profound weapons suddenly appeared in the world. All of them possessed heaven-defying power and were able to suppress one spirit vein …”
At this point, he paused for a moment and continued, “Finally, six peerless profound weapons fell into the hands of the six great ancient races at that time. They were used to support a grand formation called the Ten Directions Heaven and Earth Array. However, the six great ancient races finally angered the might of the heavens when they committed heaven-defying deeds. In the end, they declined one after another until they disappeared without a trace. This was already … a matter of the previous era.”
“The six great ancient races, the last era …”
Xiao Chen’s gaze narrowed as he recalled the six great ancient clans and the ten ancient formations that the Twelve-fingered Heart Demon had told him about back at the God’s Demon Tomb. They were exactly the same as what Su Ye had said. It seemed that many things had happened in the last era, which had already been annihilated.
Suddenly, he remembered the scene at sea, the afterimages of the Immortal Devil, the Ten Thousand Foot Great Devil, the Golden Body Great Buddha, Immortal Yimiao, the ancient gods …
Why did these afterimages appear beside him? It was as if he had always been by his side …
