The envelope carries a small sealing formation.
From the smell emanating from it, we can tell that this is indeed the handiwork of the old man.
"Oh, are you trying to test me on purpose? It's just a small sealing formation..."
Chen Dong broke the sealing formation as he spoke.
The level of the formation is not high, but it does play a role in keeping secrets in this world where humans cannot cultivate immortality.
After opening the envelope, there was a bead that looked like jade but not jade.
After the spiritual energy was input, the beads emitted a dazzling light, and then a figure gradually appeared in front of Chen Dong.
"master?"
Chen Dong stared at the kind-faced old man blankly, feeling a touch of sadness in his heart.
"Dong'er, you...you are really back..."
Wu Geng's shadow looked at Chen Dong, his eyes full of helplessness and sadness.
Chen Dong pursed his lips and asked with a bit of hope in his eyes: "Master, you...are you really dead?"
Wu Geng’s shadow nodded.
"If you can get this letter, I'm afraid the main body is dead. I'm just a remnant of the soul left behind by the main body, prepared to welcome you back to Blue Star."
Although he was prepared in his heart, Chen Dong still felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this answer.
He said unwillingly: "But Ye Yuande said that you gave this letter to him a year ago. You came back from the world of cultivation safely a year ago, and you came back safely again. Why this time... Could it be because I am here this time? ?”
Wu Geng is a remnant soul and does not know what happened next.
However, he could see the guilt in Chen Dong's heart, and smiled kindly and said: "Silly boy, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to live long even without you. The person who gave this letter to Ye Yuande a year ago is also It’s not my true body, but a spiritual body dropped from the world of cultivation at the cost of my true body.”
spirit body...
Chen Dong was silent. Not long ago, he killed a spirit from the world of cultivation.
Most forces in the world of cultivation can do it, and it's not unusual for a master to do it.
Also, why did the master say that he would not live long?
When Chen Dong was silent, Wu Geng's remnant soul continued: "Well, my remnant soul will not last long. The main body left this remnant soul because it has important things to complete. Now call out your remnant soul. The natal spiritual sword.”
Chen Dong did not hesitate and immediately summoned the blue Qingyun Sword.
"Back then, I helped you forge this Qingyun Sword. The grade was not high, and its power was not as good as those acquired and innate spiritual treasures. Do you hold a grudge against me?"
Wu Geng called the Qingyun Sword to his side, caressing the sword's body gently, with a hint of melancholy in his tone.
Speaking of this, Chen Dong couldn't help pouting: "Of course I hate it, this is the natal spiritual sword! It cannot be easily replaced! I don't ask you to build a spiritual sword of the innate spiritual treasure level, at least it must be the acquired spiritual treasure level. Yes! The result was good, you gave me a low-grade spiritual treasure-level natal spiritual sword, and I even suspected that you were trying to trick me!"
Wu Geng smiled slightly: "I won't trick you, because this Qingyun Sword is originally a sword embryo, just like the foundation of a tall building. According to my original plan, I wanted to upgrade this sword bit by bit. It’s just that I changed my mind later...forget it, just be optimistic..."
While speaking, Wu Geng waved his hand.
The Qingyun Sword and the beads resonated hummingly.
Under Chen Dong's surprised gaze, the two slowly merged. The bead seemed to have been embedded in the hilt of the Qingyun Sword without any sense of disobedience.
The moment the beads merged with the Qingyun Sword, the Qingyun Sword, which was originally a low-grade spiritual treasure, suddenly became a mid-grade spiritual treasure.
"You see, just like this, the Qingyun Sword can be upgraded. This bead is the key to the upgrade. Next, you only need to..."
Just when Wu Geng wanted to continue talking, a golden light flew out of Chen Dong's storage ring.
The sudden vision stunned both Wu Geng and Chen Dong.
Soon, Chen Dong recognized the golden light as the sword-shaped fragment he had obtained from Myanmar not long ago.
Under Chen Dong's gaze, the sword-shaped fragments emitted golden light and slowly merged into the Qingyun Sword.
The Qingyun Sword, which was originally blue, now had a golden streak.
The level of the sword was also suddenly upgraded from a medium-grade spiritual treasure to a high-grade spiritual treasure!
"Master, is this situation...normal?"
Chen Dong turned to look at Wu Geng.
Wu Geng said with a complicated look: "I didn't expect you to have recovered a fragment of the Human Emperor Sword... Maybe this is cause and effect."
"Master, what on earth is going on?" Chen Dong asked.
Wu Geng sighed and said: "Back then, the Human Emperor Sword shattered and turned into countless fragments scattered in the world. I spent thousands of years collecting the fragments just to restore the Human Emperor Sword. However, the Human Emperor Sword is not so easy to restore. It took thousands of years. I just found a few fragments and tried to smelt them together."
"Obviously, everything failed. The fragments of the Human Emperor Sword became just decorations in my hands. Later, in order to atone for my sins... I traveled thousands of mountains and rivers to suppress demons in the world, and used formations to return the aura of demons to this world. , so that Blue Star’s spiritual energy will not be completely exhausted.”
"Because I didn't have any magic weapon suitable for making a formation eye at hand, I just used the fragments of the Human Emperor Sword to make the formation eye, thinking of making the best use of it."
"Wait...atonement?"
Chen Dong interrupted Wu Geng's words and frowned: "Master, what sin do you want to atone for?"
"this……"
Wu Geng's expression changed and he said bitterly: "You will know it later, I just hope that by that time..."
Seeing that Wu Geng didn't want to talk, Chen Dong didn't continue to ask.
Wu Geng calmed down and continued: "I don't know how many years later, I got the method of smelting and recasting in a certain ruins, and I was going to the world of cultivation to build the Qingyun Sword. I met you on the way."
"I didn't expect that in this era when the human race's spiritual roots are cut off, an accident like yours would happen. Out of curiosity, I took you away together."
It turns out it was an accident...
Pooh!
Chen Dong spat lightly and asked: "I remember that the Qingyun Sword was cast about a hundred years after we arrived in the world of cultivation. According to your plan, we should have come back to collect the fragments of the Human Emperor Sword a long time ago, but why did you change your mind? And they keep preventing me from coming back.”
Chen Dong's eyes were burning, waiting for an answer.
If she could come back earlier, maybe Su Shiqing wouldn't have taken the ultimate pill.
"Because I used the Celestial Instrument of the world of cultivation to deduce your future."
Wu Geng's eyes gradually became deeper and he said slowly: "I have deduced two different paths."
"One is that you stay in the world of cultivation and gradually become a giant in the world of cultivation with your incredible talent, dominating the world for thousands of years."
"The second way is for you to return to Blue Star..."
Speaking of this, Wu Geng paused.
Chen Dong hurriedly asked: "What will happen to me when I return to Blue Star?"
Wu Geng slowly shook his head: "There is nothingness, and the heavenly secrets cannot be deduced."
"So I hesitated. Nothingness means you are very likely..."
Silence fell in the room.
Chen Dong didn't expect that his master's repeated attempts to stop him were for his own sake.
But even knowing this, Chen Dong would still choose to come back.
He couldn't let his family on Blue Star live in dire straits just to protect himself.
At this moment, Wu Geng's shadow suddenly faltered.
"This remnant soul has reached its limit."
Wu Geng looked at Chen Dong with a serious expression, and couldn't help but speak faster: "Dong'er, Blue Star has been in a whirlpool from the wilderness to now. Even I don't know some secrets, and you... you Why I can practice cultivation, I still don’t understand.”
"If you want to protect yourself in this whirlpool, the Human Emperor Sword is an indispensable force."
"Go to the Dongfang family. They have a picture I drew. All the sealing locations are in that picture..."
As the voice fell, Wu Geng's shadow gradually faded until it disappeared...
