The Birth of Sword God

Chapter 420 361: Celestial Level Treasure Chest

Is it true that Kunlun hasn't seen a snowfall in two thousand years?

Chu Huaixu was slightly taken aback.

Immediately, a system notification chimed in his ear.

"[Ding——! You have successfully triggered a hidden mission - The Lost Fruit Position.]"

"[Mission Status: Available for collection.]"

Upon hearing this, Chu Huaixu's eyes narrowed slightly.

Wen Shiyu naturally couldn't hear the system notification. Seeing Chu Huaixu's expression, she thought he was contemplating her words.

This made her believe she might have done something noteworthy.

As a result, she continued:

"Master, Shiyu has been cultivating for 1,400 years."

"In all this time, Shiyu has never seen snow."

"What is called snow exists only in ancient texts, only in paintings."

"So, Shiyu suspects that the lost fruit position might be related to snow?"

She glanced at Chu Huaixu from the corner of her eye, but he paid her no attention.

Because all his focus was on the mission interface.

The mission interface didn't specify which Immortal Venerable the fruit position belonged to nor its specific powers.

This was the most succinct description of a hidden mission Chu Huaixu had ever encountered in his gaming career.

One could say there was not a shred of useful information in the mission details.

The only useful piece of information was that this fruit position was lost in the Profound Yellow Realm 1981 years ago.

So there was at least a specific time reference.

"1981 years ago, then this old woman under my authority indeed wasn't born yet."

But he still had a few doubts.

"I have two questions to ask you."

"Master, please ask. This servant will speak without reserve." Wen Shiyu immediately replied.

"You just said that it hasn't snowed in Kunlun Cave Heaven for a full two thousand years?"

"Yes."

"Is this an abnormal phenomenon caused by the loss of the fruit position?"

"There is such a possibility." Wen Shiyu answered.

"Then with my Night Venerable Fruit Position, which holds the Taiyin Eternal Night power, has there been any abnormal phenomenon related to the night?"

It couldn't be that it's just been daylight over there without ever turning dark, right?

"Apparently not; it might also be possible that people haven't realized." Wen Shiyu mused for a moment and gave this response.

Upon hearing this, Chu Huaixu nodded slightly.

At the moment, the characteristics of the fruit position can't be analyzed.

For now, let's assume it's related to snow.

The reward for this hidden mission turns out to be more bountiful than that of the Origin Spirit Realm.

Besides a Celestial Level Treasure Chest and 1 Spiritual Embryo Attribute point, it also grants 2 extra Special Attribute Points!

This made Chu Huaixu greatly tempted.

Although he was aware that this mission likely involved some luck and wouldn't be that easy to complete.

After all, there's still the Sect Leader of the Black Moon Sect to consider.

"According to Jiang Zhi's description, this person not only possesses cultivation at the Eighth Realm Great Perfection level but also has Nascent Soul Stage abilities, being both a cultivator and a practitioner."

"It is unknown how he manages to cultivate both systems simultaneously." Chu Huaixu pondered.

But in any case, should this mission be completed, he would be able to advance his Physique to level 10!

With this thought, he asked again:

"Let me ask you, even if the loss of the fruit position occurred before you were born."

"But you have cultivated for so long, and have been a Nascent Soul True Monarch under the Divinity Transformation's tutelage for many years."

"Even if your master never mentioned this matter to you, during your idle chats with the older senior brothers and sisters, not a single one of them ever talked about it, completely not mentioning a word?"

Wen Shiyu listened to the young man's confusion, knowing that though he had become an Immortal Venerable, he understood nothing about what an Immortal Venerable was!

This inevitably made her a bit jealous.

She replied:

"Master, you still do not fully understand the Immortal Venerables located in Kunlun, holding the Kunlun Divinity Transformation Fruit Position."

"Allow this servant to explain in detail."

"Within Kunlun Cave Heaven, there is a saying: Immortal Venerables cannot be discussed lightly."

"For if one rashly discusses matters related to the Immortal Venerables, they will be sensed by the Immortal Venerable."

"To be precise, the Immortal Venerables... are unmentionable!"

"Upon mention, they will become aware."

"The Immortal Venerable needs but a single thought, and we will be obliterated! No place for burial!"

"In such a restricted environment, most cultivators know very little about Immortal Venerables."

"Before this servant was apprenticed, I knew almost nothing too."

She noticed a fleeting expression of surprise on Chu Huaixu's face.

This difference marked the peculiarity of the two worlds, she thought to herself.

To the people of the Profound Yellow Realm, certain things are utterly incomprehensible.

Their conventional thinking simply cannot fathom how terrifying an Immortal Venerable with Divinity Transformation truly is!

But clearly, her master seemed not to possess these godlike capabilities after returning to the Profound Yellow Realm.

Wen Shiyu raised her head and respectfully continued:

"Master, although the eldest brother who has followed the master the longest—True Monarch Ling Xiao—undoubtedly knows of this matter, due to this ironclad rule, people habitually refrain from discussing it."

"Thus, even knowing this Immortal Venerable might have perished in the Profound Yellow Realm, knowing he's not in Kunlun, people would still habitually avoid discussing him when possible."

Upon hearing this, Chu Huaixu nodded slightly, accepting this explanation for the time being.

As someone being half a local of the Profound Yellow Realm, he was indeed not that familiar with the circumstances of these outsiders from Kunlun.

"What a mess!"

—Neither understood nor respected.

But no matter what, although the term Immortal Venerable sounds quite intimidating, in the Profound Yellow Realm, there have been at least two cases of killing.

Since it can be killed, that's reassuring.

The problem is significant, but at least it's not insoluble.

Yet, listening to Wen Shiyu's descriptions, he still felt a great deal of pressure in his heart, adding a lot of urgency inexplicably.

After all, who knows when the so-called Heaven and Earth Calamity will arrive?

Chu Huaixu didn't think this day would be too far off.

"After all, my 'Variable' is simply too significant."

He's actually unsure whether after he merged with the Night Venerable Fruit Position and acquired the Taiyin Eternal Night Authority, the Kunlun Cave Heaven would sense this point?

The dead fox inferred that this is likely possible.

"If the Divinity elders over there truly know about this..."

"Given the importance of the Fruit Position, will they alter their original plans?"

Chu Huaixu was also unsure about this point.

He knew from Wen Shiyu that the Heaven and Earth Calamity was far from being as simple as he imagined.

"The Kunlun Cave Heaven has long been able to open extraterritorial passages."

"When they descend upon the Profound Yellow Realm for large-scale invasion, it probably only depends on the thoughts of those Immortal Venerables."

Chu Huaixu actually had a faint premonition of unease in his heart.

He always felt because of his appearance...

"This day might come sooner!"

....

....

The next day, Chu Huaixu woke up early.

He wanted to find an empty training room in Junzi Temple to cultivate in seclusion.

As for Wen Shiyu, she went next door to him to refine an Outer Body Incarnation.

Chu Huaixu didn't need to specifically find someone to watch her.

Because as soon as she heard about refining this thing, Nangong Yue rushed over with a curious look on her face.

Speaking of which, both women are generously endowed.

But if they were really to stand side by side and compare, it seems Nangong Yue had a slight advantage.

After sitting on the meditation cushion in the training room, Chu Huaixu opened his Skills interface, beginning with a customary shot of "Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Root."

A million Experience Points were spent just like that, and as expected, he failed to learn it again.

The progress bar for the "Sword Heart" thus grew a little bit.

This made him feel quite calm, thinking he hadn't lost too much, still quite acceptable.

Chu Huaixu didn't feel that this thing would be so easy to learn.

After all, every time he accumulated ten million Experience Points, he would try learning it again.

What if one day he suddenly learns it?

He maintained a good mindset and wouldn't be discouraged by a few failures like this.

Having witnessed the weakened version of "Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Root" performed by the Sword Venerable, Chu Huaixu harbored great expectations for learning this skill.

After trying it out, he opened the quest interface, preparing to claim the quest rewards this time.

As before, it was 1 point of Spiritual Embryo Attribute and a Celestial Level Treasure Chest.

After adding the Spiritual Embryo Attribute, Chu Huaixu immediately closed his eyes, carefully feeling the enhancement he gained.

He could distinctly feel that the state of the "Heart Sword" had improved significantly.

"Now, I am a distinguished Spiritual Embryo 8!"

He felt like a nurturing-type player.

Nurturing the Heart Sword, which initially seemed to be on the brink of death, step by step into its current healthy appearance.

The "Heart Sword" now appeared extremely normal, no longer embodying any negative states.

This made Chu Huaixu even want to immediately test:

"Can the current Heart Sword, while leaving the body, exert control over the Bronze Sword?"

Previously, he also had Xiaoxu open the Sword Box to try, and indeed, each attempt ended in failure.

Although he believed that the Sword Heart's person was likely stronger than the Sword Spirit of the Evil Sword,

due to his cultivation being too weak, coupled with insufficient Spiritual Embryo Attributes, this endpoint was unreachable.

"In the future, there will surely be opportunities." Chu Huaixu thought.

He could even imagine how furious the Evil Sword would be at that time.

Just by imagining this, he already felt a certain sense of dark pleasure.

After digesting this 1 point of Spiritual Embryo Attribute, Chu Huaixu began rubbing his hands.

"It's time for the exciting unboxing segment again!"

Every time he opened a Celestial Level Treasure Chest, his gains were incredibly great.

As soon as the chest was opened, Chu Huaixu saw splendiferous multicolored light.

For some reason, every time he saw this thing, his heartbeat accelerated slightly, and he felt a bit nervous.

There's no helping it; the Celestial Level Treasure Chest is simply too precious.

Back when he was a player, among the massive player groups, not even several Earth Level Treasure Chests had appeared.

When the panoramic glow faded away, three treasure chest rewards floated before his eyes.

It wasn't that he opened one chest to find three treasures.

This time, he could make a choice among three options.

"It's actually Bloodline Power." Chu Huaixu's eyes narrowed.
