The Birth of Sword God

Chapter 399 - 344: Zhong Ming’s Gift (Part 3)

Han Shuangjiang merely nodded upon hearing the words.

In truth, she really didn’t want Chu Huaixu to constantly engage in dangerous matters.

But she also knew well that he was someone with a strong will of his own, not necessarily open to others’ advice.

Most of the time, she was immensely worried.

But she never spoke of this to Chu Huaixu, for fear of burdening him with negativity and pressure.

Han Shuangjiang would silently cultivate diligently, even more rigorously.

But Chu Huaixu knew little of this, he would only shout internally time and time again: "Realm Breakthrough is so fast, the Profound Yin Body is so damn amazing!"

He had no idea that for the young girl, her greatest motivation for cultivation had once been to control her own destiny.

After meeting him, her biggest reason for cultivating was to follow his footsteps closely, and maybe one day, she could protect him once.

All the recent events only turned into the pressure Han Shuangjiang placed upon herself.

She was desperately seeking power!

Only after Jiang Zhi and the others meticulously checked over Chu Huaixu’s condition did they leave with peace of mind.

....

....

As the sun set, the night blanket descended.

Approaching midnight, Chu Huaixu slowly regained consciousness.

"You’re awake!" Han Shuangjiang immediately walked over.

"How long was I... unconscious?" Chu Huaixu asked.

"Several hours now, it’s already midnight." Big Ice Cube replied, sitting by the bed.

"Oh! My head hurts!" Chu Huaixu exaggeratedly placed his head onto his partner’s round thigh, using it as a pillow.

The Little Housekeeper always bore the appearance of a virtuous wife and good mother.

Seeing this, she merely smiled slightly, allowing him to rest on her thigh, gently kneading his head.

Chu Huaixu inhaled the faint fragrance of the young girl, enjoying the head treatment, feeling refreshed and revitalized.

He edged inwards, almost burying his face in her abdomen.

He let out a sound of utter comfort.

Han Shuangjiang gazed down at him, a slight smile appearing on her face.

This smile, made the cool-faced girl seem less aloof, more alive.

"Are you alright, why did you suddenly collapse?" Han Shuangjiang asked quietly.

Her head-kneading skills were top-notch, also learned from the Hongxiu Restaurant.

"Not sure, let me feel it out a bit." Chu Huaixu closed his eyes.

But he soon opened them again.

Before anything else, he intended to ask a question.

"Did the ancestral masters and teachers come by before?" He asked.

"Of course they did, when you fainted, they got terribly worried." Big Ice Cube replied.

"After they checked my condition, did they say anything?" He asked.

Before he fainted, he vaguely heard system notifications.

Chu Huaixu wondered if Jiang Zhi and the others noticed anything amiss.

If they did, it would certainly be better than him pondering blindly.

Han Shuangjiang replied honestly:

"They carefully checked you over and said there was nothing unusual about you."

"So, they’re all puzzled too, unsure of why you’re unconscious."

"Logically, with your condition, making you faint shouldn’t be that easy."

Chu Huaixu now, making him faint like before was incredibly difficult.

His pain threshold had become quite unusual.

Plus, his Sea of Consciousness was guarded by the Heart Sword, reducing the risk of mental disturbance.

Listening to Big Ice Cube’s words, Chu Huaixu simply responded softly, then closed his eyes.

He could, in fact, check the history of the system notifications.

Although he didn’t hear the subsequent notifications, he could view them.

"Unknown power invasion?" Chu Huaixu thought, surprised.

He personally guessed that a power classified as unknown by the system probably didn’t belong to the Profound Yellow Realm’s power system!

Then it could only be... from Kunlun Cave Heaven!

He continued to peruse the history of the system notifications.

The more he read, the more shocked he became.

"[Ding! Unknown power has entered your Sea of Consciousness.]"

"[Power is undergoing rejection...]"

"[System is attempting integration.]"

"[Integration failed!]"

"[Power still being rejected!]"

"[System trying integration again!]"

"[Ding! Congratulations, integration successful!]"

What the heck! Integrated what!

Chu Huaixu never imagined that while trying to save Zhong Ming, he’d encounter such an unexpected situation.

Searching for this force within himself for a long time, he eventually located it in his Sea of Consciousness!

Now, Chu Huaixu’s Sea of Consciousness contained three distinctly different powers.

The one that first occupied this place was, of course, the little black sword located at the foundation of the Sea of Consciousness.

Currently, Chu Huaixu had nearly completely undergone Swordman Transformation.

Thus, his body was the sword, and the Heart Sword along with his Sword Heart, were essentially the Sword Spirit.

Another force within the Sea of Consciousness was that half wisp of Power of Origin.

After refining the Profound Yellow Origin Fragment, this wisp of power split into two.

Half hovered next to the Heart Sword, akin to a swimming dragon.

The other half resides within the Spiritual Embryo.

As for this newly third power, it was what Zhong Ming forcibly inserted today.

Chu Huaixu didn’t know why the other attacked him so unhesitatingly upon meeting.

And then proceeded with a sudden bout of gifting?

"He must have sensed something from the beginning!" Dead Fox thought.

And the "foreign object" that appeared in his Sea of Consciousness, astonished him quite a bit.

At this moment, what was the spectacle at the foundation of his Sea of Consciousness?

The black Heart Sword hovered in that space.

The hilt facing up, the tip facing down.

Half a wisp of Power of Origin spiraled around this black sword.

Under the tip of the sword, at this moment, a black lotus platform had emerged.
