Chapter 1696 1696: Heavenly God Sword
Even obtaining the Unheavenly God Sword, if one can know any treasure on the Star Lord or Demon King, it would be strong enough.
Ling Zhenfei asked Lu Tao, "Do you think the Heavenly God Sword is really in the Foreign Land Space?"
Lu Tao said, "Legends are legends; no one knows if it's true. But after I visited the Foreign Land Space, I really feel the Heavenly God Sword might really be there."
Ling Zhenfei curiously asked, "Why?"
Lu Tao said, "Because the Foreign Land Space is too magical, too powerful, making us believe."
Lu Yunshang asked, "Father, does this mean humans entering the Foreign Land Space will be hunted by the beastmen there?"
Lu Tao said, "Actually, the people there shouldn't be called beastmen; they should be called practitioners of the Foreign Land Space, because some practitioners there were originally human."
Ling Zhenfei was stunned, "You mean there are humans there too?"
Lu Tao said, "Yes, some practitioners there should be humans; anyway, there's no difference from humans, maybe they've evolved fully."
Ling Zhenfei said, "The Spiritual Energy there is much more abundant than ours; after thousands of years, it should have been restored, and the divine master's prophecy should be true."
Lu Tao said, "Yes, everyone knows the new Demon King is coming soon; practitioners on our side, whether from Tianling Spirit Palace, Wuliang Immortal Palace, or South Sea Immortal Palace, are still competing amongst themselves."
Lu Yunshang asked, "Father, why do they compete?"
Lu Tao didn't answer, but Ling Zhenfei said, "Very simple, they all want the Heavenly God Sword; having the Heavenly God Sword, whether its owner can inherit the Star Lord's will or not, will be the new generation's leader."
Lu Tao said, "Absolutely right, they are competing to be the first to find the Heavenly God Sword and become the leader of all sects."
Ling Zhenfei said, "It's been such a long time, and no one has found the Heavenly God Sword. I really doubt whether the Heavenly God Sword is in that space; if it were, it would have been found by now."
Lu Yunshang also said, "Exactly, we go once every twenty years, but beastmen there, no, rather, practitioners go searching every day; if it existed, it would have been found long ago."
Lu Tao laughed, "The Heavenly God Sword carries the Star Lord's will, so it's not easily found by anyone. It should be waiting for its new owner."
Ling Zhenfei suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, elder, how did you get injured? You always said you were harmed by Hoshino Yuji and another, what do you mean?"
Lu Tao seemed to return to that time, filled with anger, said, "I was about to leave the Foreign Land Space at that time, not yet poisoned, but these two drew the Demon Hunter."
This Demon Hunter is very powerful; even the three of us together couldn't defeat him. In the end, everyone was dealt a blow by the Demon Hunter and got poisoned."
Ling Zhenfei said, "And then? Didn't that person pursue you?"
Lu Tao said, "This person calculated that no one could cure this poison, and the three of us would suffer for the rest of our lives, so he didn't chase us; otherwise, we would be dead."
Ling Zhenfei said, "This person is indeed malicious; this poison indeed torments you."
Lu Tao said, "Initially, the poison on us could be suppressed, but as the poison corroded us, the spiritual energy on us diminished, and eventually couldn't suppress the poison."
To avoid implicating them, I came to Xianling Mountain, hoping to find medicinal herbs for treatment, but unfortunately, couldn't find any and nearly died here."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Unexpectedly, the poison in the Foreign Land Space is still so potent after all these years."
Lu Tao said, "Actually, this is the wonder of the Foreign Land Space, filled with exotic flowers and herbs, simply countless; it's not surprising to find herbs to make rare poisons."
Ling Zhenfei said, "The treatment of this poison is fundamentally unchanged, so the poison isn't feared, as long as it doesn't act immediately, it's fine."
Lu Tao said, "At that time my cultivation had reached the Pursue Heart State, allowing me to suppress the poison within, but some fellow cultivators weren't as lucky, and many died from poisoning."
Ling Zhenfei can envision countless people perishing after battles in the Foreign Land Space, feeling somewhat melancholic.
The reality and Foreign Land spaces were originally two very different spaces, like two children born from the same mother.
These two children have different personalities and temperaments, yet are siblings, but now they are fighting to the death.
One brother wants his sibling's territory, the other wants his brother's possessions, resulting in a rivalry.
Ling Zhenfei said, "Now all Immortal Palaces are contacting people to enter the Foreign Land Space. Could they have discovered some secrets there?"
Lu Tao said, "This is very likely, related to a secret event that happened the previous twenty years."
Ling Zhenfei immediately knew Lu Tao must know something.
Ling Zhenfei asked, "What exactly happened?"
Lu Tao said, "Although I had some reputation while cultivating, when I entered the Foreign Land Space, I was only at the Peak of Dawen Realm."
The Pursue Heart State was like a high wall I couldn't surpass, and that entry into the Foreign Land Space was also an adventurous mindset, wanting to explore."
I was very fortunate; the teleportation sent me and an Immortal Palace disciple together, luckily avoiding the pursuit of Demon Hunters, allowing me to know some secrets of the Foreign Land Space."
Lu Tao recalled, "At that time, we followed that Immortal Palace disciple, kept walking; we didn't recognize the places, but the Immortal Palace disciple seemed familiar."
The journey was safe, encountering very few Demon Hunters, finally arriving at a canyon.
That Immortal Palace disciple told us this place was where the Star Lord fought the Demon King, so this place is most likely to find the Heavenly God Sword.
Just as we were carefully searching, they suddenly faced an assault by Demon Hunters, a fierce battle ensued, we fled desperately, and I, along with Hoshino Yuji, and Watanabe Kazushi, managed to escape into a cave."
We didn't know how long it took before we ventured out again; along the way, we faced many hardships, finally reaching the canyon's end and found a large group of people.
Most of them were from the Three Great Immortal Palaces, appearing to perform a certain ceremony, seemingly opening a door.
At that time, I didn't see very clearly, only felt the ceremony was very sacred, very solemn, then a Golden Light shone on me, allowing me to breakthrough, entering the Pursue Heart State.
