After arranging the Five Elements Eight Trigrams Restricting Dragon Formation, Mo Wenjie asked: Old man, what do you think of the formation I have arranged?
Guo Zhen muttered to himself upon seeing this: Could you really be the descendant of Li Chunfeng? The array you've laid out is strikingly identical to the one set up by Li Chunfeng back then. It seems that my faint remnant soul, having waited for a thousand years, has finally met the descendant of Li Chunfeng. You are truly the chosen one by heaven.
Mowenjie was rendered speechless by Guozhen's words, reasoning that many disciples of the Daoist sect knew how to arrange the Five Elements Eight Trigrams Dragon Array. Could arranging the Five Elements Eight Trigrams Dragon Array make one the Chosen One? Then wouldn't every Daoist disciple be the Chosen One? That was too ridiculous! It seemed that there was nothing to envy about being the Chosen One.
Guo Zhen spoke again: "Young man, since you are the successor of my close friend, you are now the new owner of this Longquan Sword. I have been waiting for over a thousand years here; this wisp of my residual soul should return to its place. Once you accept the recognition of the Longquan Sword, my mission will be accomplished. Now, you can allow the Longquan Sword to recognize its master. After the Longquan Treasure Sword has recognized you as its master, it will be your lifelong responsibility to guard it."
Mowenjie was startled upon hearing this. What nonsense, it recognizes me as its master and expects me to protect it for a lifetime. What logic is this? Is it the owner or am I the owner? Uncle Guozhen, did you get things mixed up?
Hearing this, Guozhen burst into laughter. "Young man, you may not know this, but the Longquan Sword, once it recognizes its master, will protect you for a lifetime. No matter how powerful the opponent, as long as the Longquan Sword appears, it can communicate with heaven and earth to resolve all your troubles. Of course, it's not invincible in the world, but there aren't many weapons that can defeat the Longquan Sword. In ancient times, the Longquan Sword was also among the top ten on the weapons list.
Top Ranking Jueque: "Jueque Number One" was cast during the Warring States period by Tung Xi, a famous general of Jin State. It is one of the ten most famous swords in ancient times.
Ranking Second Tai'E: "Tai'E Number Two" was forged during the Warring States period by Qihao, a famous general of Chu State. It is one of the ten most famous swords in ancient times.
Third Rank Gong Bu: An ancient famous sword, traditionally believed to have been forged by Ou Yezi and Gan Jiang.
Fourth Rank YuChan: An ancient famous sword, originating from the story of Zhu Lüe assassinating King Liang of Wu. It was once used by Sun Quan.
Ranking Fifth Jin Gou: "Jin Gou Number Five" was a legendary ancient sword, purportedly forged during the Xia Dynasty. It once belonged to Rang Huang, the king of Chu.
The Sixth Rank Suihou Pearl: An ancient famous sword, traditionally believed to have been owned by Suihou. It was once presented to Jin Wen Gong.
The Seventh Rank Knife: A type of ancient short sword, narrow and long with a crooked shape, featuring a pointed blade and double-edged blades, designed for concealed attacks.
The Eighth Rank Copper Man: One of the ancient cold weapons, a weapon cast in bronze, shaped like a human form, holding geng, mo and other weapons, with strong defensive capabilities.
The Ninth Rank Ganying Moxia: An ancient famous treasure sword, traditionally believed to have been forged by Ou Yezi and Gan Jiang.
The Ninth Rank Ganzhang Moye: "Ganzhang Moye Number Nine" is an ancient famous sword, traditionally believed to have been forged by Ou Yezi and Gan Jiang. The tenth rank is Longquan: "Longquan Number Ten" is an ancient treasure sword, also cast by Ou Yezi and Gan Jiang. It has an exquisite polishing and a lustrous appearance, considered one of the ten most famous swords in ancient China.
Young man, now do you see how formidable it is? To ask you to protect it for a lifetime, do you still feel aggrieved? When this divine weapon appears, all swords pay homage. You will come to know its terror, and you will protect it for the rest of your life, until your body and spirit are consumed by the path.
Mowenjie was shocked upon hearing this. The Longquan Sword is truly an invaluable treasure! Being ranked among the top ten famous swords is not ordinary, so guarding it for a lifetime would be fine.
Guozhen laughed heartily upon hearing this. "Young man, don't be so confident. Whether or not the Longquan sword will recognize you and make you its master is not something that can be predicted easily. I acknowledge you as a descendant of Li Chunfeng, but whether the sealed sword spirit of the Longquan sword will acknowledge you, that's another matter."
Upon hearing this, Mowenjie was furious. "Uncle Guozhen, you're messing with me. If you said it was so complicated, why did I even consider whether to take the Longquan Sword?"
Hearing this, Guozhen burst into laughter. "Having you arrange the Five Elements Eight Trigrams Dragon Array can only prove that you are a descendant of Li Chunfeng and belong to the Daoist sect, but it cannot prove whether or not you are the Chosen One. What's your rush? You really think just because someone is a disciple of the Daoist sect, they are all destined to be the Chosen One? You're an idiot and think you're smart. Do you really believe that my good friend didn't have any backup plans? If you want to try, go ahead and try. If not, get out of here. Considering that you are a disciple of the Daoist sect, I will let you go this time and prevent the sword spirit from devouring you."
Mo Wenjie asked, "Then how can I prove that I am the Chosen One?"
Guozhen said, "The Longquan Sword is equipped with an array. If you can decipher the sealed array and then swear allegiance by blood, you will be recognized as the next inheritor of the Longquan Sword. Hurry up and unseal it!"
Mo Wenjie stared at the Longquan Sword, and there was indeed a seal on the hilt. Mo Wenjie observed the seal and wondered, "How come this doesn't seem right? The Five Elements Eight Trigrams Dragon Array, how can there be both the Zhenxian Array and the Soul Locking Array? What's going on here? Could it be that Uncle Guozhen has something fishy going on? It shouldn't be like this. According to records, the Longquan Sword was indeed in his possession during ancient times. As he died, so did the sword. Now it appears here, all checks out. There shouldn't be any issues!"
Guozhen saw that Mowenjie was still silent, "Young man, what are you hesitating about? Hurry up and remove the seal. Let the Longquan sword recognize you as its master. Then I will be freed. My residual soul returning to its place will also allow me to enter the cycle of rebirth."
Mo Wenjie thought for a moment, "Old man Guo is right. Since that's the case, I'll break the seal and let the Longquan sword recognize me as its master." He decided to act, starting to dismantle the formation. After more than an hour, Mo Wenjie successfully removed the seal from the Longquan sword. He picked up the sword, ready to draw it out.
Guozhen laughed heartily, his voice changing into a woman's. After being sealed away for over a thousand years, I can finally see the light of day again. Young man, you're quite good, but just a bit foolish. Even though you're male in body, it's still better than me languishing in this dark underworld for centuries. Now you can die. My lady will borrow your body to see the light of day again.
Mowenjie's expression turned extremely ugly upon hearing this. "You are not Guozhen at all. Who are you?"
Mowenjie's face turned extremely pale upon hearing this. "You're not Guozhen. Who are you?"
Mowenjie was enraged upon hearing this. "You're truly a vile woman. Even if they treated you unfairly, what has that to do with me? How dare you possess my body? Are you not afraid of divine retribution?"
Mowenjie was furious upon hearing this. "You're an evil woman! Even if they were unfair to you, what does that have to do with me? How dare you possess me? Don't you fear divine retribution?"
Mowenjie glared at her fiercely, "Being sealed for a thousand years is your punishment, not theirs. If they were killed by you, that's their misfortune. But why did you have to kill their relatives? Those women and children had nothing to do with it. Don't you consider yourself a woman?"
Mo Wenjie shot her a fierce glare. "You've been sealed away for a thousand years as punishment. They were killed by you, so be it. Why did you have to kill their families? Those women and children have done nothing wrong! You're a woman yourself, aren't you?"
Mo Wenjie looked at Qingxia, a snake turning into a woman, and realized that she was indeed a snake. "You are a cold-blooded serpent. How can you bear to be sealed away for a thousand years? You have already been sentenced by heaven and earth, don't you want to be incinerated?"
Qingxia the Vengeful Maiden, I don't care about all that. My current wish is to leave this hellhole. As for what happens afterward, that's for another time. Just do as I say, let me possess you, and my promise to you remains unchanged. You can go in peace!
Mo Wenjie's face turned pale as he knew he was no match for Qingxia. He regretted his greed. If he hadn't wanted the Longquan Sword, how could he have brought such a disaster upon himself? All of this was due to his greed, and it filled him with so much hate. Now that the crisis had come, there was no way to go back. This might be fate, but if fate was meant to be so, then there was no point in fighting against it. It's all fate!
At this moment, Mowenjie's heart was as dead as gray. He recalled past events, and many memories became blurry before his eyes. Once believed in, determined to hold on to, and always confident in something, nothing seemed to be there. Suddenly realizing he had been very foolish, he swore he laughed and shed tears.
The immortal Qingxia of the Red Training looked at Mo Wenjie's face full of despondency and the tears trickling down. "Young man, face reality, tears are a sign of weakness. I've never believed in tears. After a thousand years of lessons, my tears have long dried up. This is your last tear, and I'm about to be reborn!" Her soul entered Mo Wenjie's mind.
Perhaps the heart has a telepathy, as soon as the soul of Qingxia enters Mowenjie's mind, Ding Qingyao, Zhou Manruxu, Qin Lingyue felt a painful tearing in their hearts. In that moment, they felt dizzy and spinning.
Ding Qingyao shouted loudly, "No! I must go down to save him."
Qin Lingyue also reacted in the same manner, sensing that Wenjie might be in danger. My heart was not at peace, a feeling of ominous premonition overcame me as well. I will go down with you.
Zhou Manru's face was as pale as death, and my heart felt as if it were being torn apart in pain. I, too, must go down with you.
Jin Ming Zhi master hurriedly stopped, "Amitabha, my dear nuns, I believe that Mowenjie is not in danger. You can wait here."
Ding Qingyao, Qin Lingyue, and Zhou Manru said in unison: "We can't wait any longer. We must go down and see what's happening. Our intuition won't be wrong. Wenjie is definitely in trouble."
Jin Ming Zhi master shook his head. "Ladies, with your strength, you cannot even dive to 800 meters. What can you do below 1,200 meters? Mowenjie is beneath that depth."
Ding Qingyao, Qin Lingyue, and Zhou Manru, upon hearing this, tears fell like rain!
