Chapter 769 769: Three Women

Xiao Shijian released a soft sigh. "I don't know exactly what happened, but Ancient Long Wang and all his reincarnations died because of the Chaos Origin Sword. The one before Hermit Long also died because of that sword, and his death was almost identical to Emperor Long's because he trusted someone too much."

"Who was that person? Why did they kill him?" Feng Xian'er asked with raised eyebrows.

Xiao Shijian shook her head in response. "That person is no longer relevant because I killed him with my hand, so we don't need to talk about him. I tried looking for the Chaos Origin Sword after I woke up, but I never managed to find it, as if the sword didn't want anyone to find it."

"If the Chaos Origin Sword could disappear like that, how did it fall into Sofia's hands in the past?" Feng Xian'er asked in confusion. "In fact, Long Wang and I never knew that she had that sword, and it suddenly appeared in her hands after she was controlled by those people."

Xiao Shijian nodded in agreement with Feng Xian'er. "Actually, it's not just you and Long Wang who were unaware of the Chaos Origin Sword in the golden palace, but I myself have never been aware of it there. In fact, it happened exactly the same as everything that happened to all the reincarnations of Ancient Long Wang before Emperor Long, and the sword only appeared right before they died. Strangely, the sword always appeared in the hands of their relatives, and I could do nothing to stop them."

"Only their relatives?" Both Feng Xian'er and Lin Qingzhu were shocked by this.

"Yes." Xiao Shijian nodded at them. "Emperor Long died after Sofia stabbed him with the Chaos Origin Sword, and Hermit Long died at the hands of his brother, as did all the reincarnations of Ancient Long Wang. Sometimes I think their deaths are the result of a curse, and I haven't managed to find a way to stop it."

Feng Xian'er momentarily folded her forehead. "If that's true, who gave the curse to Ancient Long Wang? How could that person do it to him? After all, he was the second living being born in this universe, so no one would be able to do such a thing to him, except you."

"Sister Shijian, if you say it like that, won't Li'er face the same situation as them in the future? Could it be that he will die in the hands of one of us in the future?" Lin Qingzhu worriedly asked as she glanced at Chen Li.

"Qingzhu, I'm also worried that Chen Li will suffer the same fate as them, but I don't have any solution right now, especially since I still haven't managed to find the Chaos Origin Sword. If we want to stop it, we must find the sword and seal it so it won't fall into anyone's hands, and we can prevent his death." Lin Qingzhu's expression turned gloomy after Xiao Shijian said that. "Xian'er, that's my guess, but I have no proof of my guess. I'm indeed stronger than Ancient Long Wang, but I don't know curses and the like. Besides, there is one who is stronger than me, but we can't see it."

"The only one who can surpass you is Chaos, and the sword is the Chaos Origin Sword." Xiao Shijian nodded in agreement to Feng Xian'er. "Could it be that Chaos deliberately killed and cursed Ancient Long Wang? Why would Chaos do that?"

Xiao Shijian raised both hands helplessly. "Honestly, I once thought about the same thing as you, but I ultimately came to a dead end. Ancient Long Wang and I knew about the existence of Chaos, but we had never met it before."

Feng Xian'er nodded thoughtfully. "Shijian, after we return from the Celestial Realm and rescue Long Tianshi, I want you to focus on searching for the whereabouts of the Chaos Origin Sword. Whatever happens, we must find the sword and seal it at all costs, or Chen Li will die like his predecessors. We will suffer greatly from losing him, and you will never be able to meet your old friend."

"But—"

"Would you rather have Chen Li die because of the Chaos Origin Sword?" Naturally, Xiao Shijian didn't want that to happen, prompting Feng Xian'er to continue. "Moreover, you've already created the best barrier here, and this barrier is as strong as those in the Fairy Realm and other realms, so you don't need to worry about our safety. Even if they manage to break through this barrier, we still have the Tianyi Realm, which none of the other reincarnations of Ancient Long Wang have. Additionally, Xiao Hei and the others are also in this realm with us, and they can help us escape, so I want you to focus on finding the sword as quickly as possible."

Xiao Shijian released a soft sigh before nodding. "Alright, I'll focus on finding the Chaos Origin Sword after we rescue Long Tianshi. If Chen Li has broken through to the Five God Realms, you can contact me directly, and I'll enter the Tianyi Realm to send you both to my Time Realm."

"Yeah."

Thereafter, Xiao Shijian left the Divine Yin-Yang Pagoda, leaving Feng Xian'er and Lin Qingzhu there.

Feng Xian'er immediately embraced Lin Qingzhu, who looked distressed because of their conversation just now. "Don't worry, Mom. We'll do our best to find the Chaos Origin Sword, and we won't let Chen Li die because of it. For now, only Xiao Shijian can find the sword, but I'll also look for it after we leave our isolation in the Time Realm."

"How are you going to find the Chaos Origin Sword if Sister Shijian never managed to find it?" Lin Qingzhu asked with doubt in her tone.

Feng Xian'er could only shake her head, as she had no answer for that. "I saw that sword before I died, and I still remember it clearly. No matter what the means or the risks, I will find that sword, and I will save Chen Li from the fate that befell her predecessors in the past."

"I hope you can really find that sword, Xian'er." Lin Qingzhu then looked at her son. "I really don't want Li'er to die like his predecessors. If he dies, I will no longer have a purpose in life."

"We—"

"Don't worry, I'll never die." Chen Li opened his eyes and pulled Lin Qingzhu into his lap. "The Chaos Origin Sword is indeed powerful and mysterious, but I've already died by it at least twice. I won't let it kill me again, and I will destroy it if it appears before me once more."
