Chapter 897: Chapter 397: The Purest Sword Intent! (Part 2)
After a moment of silence, the second brother suddenly made a shocking revelation!
This speculation immediately startled both the eldest brother and the junior sister, their pupils dilating, eyes trembling uncontrollably, clearly showing their shock.
No wonder the eldest brother and junior sister couldn’t stay composed.
You should know.
The words just spoken by the second brother could directly impact the Origin Realm!
When did the Sword Immortal exist?
A character from ancient times, in an era full of dazzling geniuses before the appearance of the Immortal Sword, he ruled the ages with the Sword Dao, unmatched by anyone.
Moreover, after the appearance of the Immortal Sword, he comprehended its divine techniques, mastered the Immortal Sword Skill, and seized almost all the innate qi from the Origin Realm to forge a peerless Immortal Sword.
It was precisely because of this that the crisis of void cracks appearing in the Origin Realm was resolved.
It can be said that he laid the foundation for the stability of the Origin Realm with his strength alone.
If it weren’t for him, in recent times, the eldest brother wouldn’t have been able to seal the cracks so easily.
The reason why the second brother’s words shocked the eldest brother and junior sister so much.
Is because.
After the Sword Immortal entered the void, stabilized it, and fell, the Nine-Layered Giant Tower hadn’t yet appeared.
If, as the second brother speculates, the Sword Immortal collected the innate qi of the Origin Realm, even going so far as to kill the great powers who absorbed the innate qi spilled from the heavenly Immortal Sword to create a peerless Immortal Sword, it was all to mislead?
The goal was to place his swords in the swordsmanship trials of the Nine-Layered Giant Tower?
And the Sword Immortal had long known about the existence of the Nine-Layered Giant Tower and put all his lifetime comprehensions of sword intent into one of the trials!
Just how much courage is needed to achieve such a feat!
And what kind of event would lead such a brilliant individual to make such a choice.
Moreover.
Prior trials have seen the Five Elements Kings, the Celestial Secret Divine Gaze of Heavenly Secret Daoist, the ancient bronze gate in the void, and even the Human Emperor Bell already tainted by the Nether Abyss...
All these people and items that have appeared during the trials, which are only recorded in historical records, what kind of reason could cause them to appear simultaneously in the Nine-Layered Giant Tower’s trials?
Due to a small conjecture by the second brother, an endless series of questions arose in the hearts of the three.
Among the three, the most shocked was naturally the eldest brother.
As for the junior sister, she wasn’t particularly good at thinking; though the second brother’s information shocked her somewhat, she couldn’t really think through it, and since these matters were usually seen only in ancient texts, she, being someone who disliked reading, simply waited for others to give her the answers.
The second brother, despite living through long ages, witnessing both ancient and near-modern times, couldn’t wrap his head around it.
As for the eldest brother.
He was agile-minded and, as the eldest brother of the Nine-Layered Giant Tower, he had the right to enter the library, where ancient texts recorded nearly all events that occurred in the Origin Realm, except for a few, with mere mentions, such as the Nether Abyss.
Yet the second brother’s speculation wasn’t even hinted at in the library’s texts, not even a punctuation mark.
If what the second brother said is true, then even the Nine-Layered Giant Tower’s library doesn’t have the right to record this matter.
In actuality, the Nine-Layered Giant Tower surely knows of this matter, as all events originated from it.
If not in the library, then it must be sought at even deeper levels.
Or maybe the eldest brother’s current privileges aren’t enough to touch these hidden secrets!
For a moment.
The eldest brother stood there stunned, and the extreme ice power on him began uncontrollably spreading outwards.
For a moment.
The entire observation area became enveloped with an irresistible power of extreme cold.
Even the second brother and junior sister struggled to withstand it.
This uncontrolled extreme ice power gradually spread towards the dueling arena.
As it was about to touch the arena.
"Boom—"
Soon after.
A sharp sword intent spread out from the arena, like ripples, likewise expanding outward.
This sword intent was extremely sharp, like a ruler in sword dao, impossible to resist.
In the blink of an eye.
This sharp sword intent rippled back to the location of the eldest brother.
The extreme ice power emanating from within him vanished as soon as it encountered the sharp sword intent, the surrounding temperature returned to normal, leaving not a trace of the extreme ice power.
If not for the cold marks left on the ground due to the extremely low temperature, it could be considered that the extreme ice power’s spread was merely an illusion.
"Dong!"
After the sword intent crushed the extreme ice power, the eldest brother suddenly let out a cold snort, as if a muffled sound resonated from within him.
The next moment.
A stream of blood trickled from the corner of his mouth!
The junior sister, just regaining her senses from the extreme cold, saw blood at the corner of the eldest brother’s mouth and forgot all about the previous effects of extreme ice power, immediately asking with concern.
"Eldest brother, what’s wrong?"
Her tone was quite anxious, worried something might happen to him.
However, at this moment, the eldest brother was fully immersed in the second brother’s words and his own speculations, unable to hear anyone else’s voice.
As his body temperature just returned to normal, the second brother didn’t notice the eldest brother was injured; instead, his body trembled uncontrollably, face flushed with excitement.
This was clearly not due to any aftereffect from the extreme ice power but rather a sign of excitement.
"Sword Intent! That’s the Sword Immortal’s sword intent!!"
The second brother’s trembling voice echoed through the trial, reaching the ears of the eldest brother and junior sister.
Of course, Xu Ran in the trial didn’t hear it.
Upon hearing the second brother’s voice, the eldest brother snapped out of his earlier daze.
"That sword intent just now, it’s the Sword Immortal’s?"
His tone was quite urgent, as if he was awaiting an answer!
The second brother nodded without hesitation.
"I wouldn’t mistake this sword intent!"
The second brother had seen the Sword Immortal before he fell and had felt his sword intent.
If such powerful sword intent existed, even after countless years, it wouldn’t be forgotten; instead, it was more firmly etched in memory.
With the second brother’s firm words.
Suddenly.
The eldest brother’s speculations became even more definitive.
"Furthermore, this sword intent was not the one that appeared in the arena, tainted by the Nether Abyss, but the purest sword intent!!"
The sword intent Xu Ran faced, the arena was filled with dark red mist, and these sword intents were already tainted by the Nether Abyss.
However, the sword intent just emanated from the arena was entirely pure, wholly belonging to the Sword Immortal, and without any innate qi aura within!
The sword intent just now felt like the Sword Immortal had reappeared, casually swinging a sword!
Thinking of this.
The once-clouded eyes of the eldest brother suddenly became clear.
"Does this mean there is a way through the trial in this arena?!"
Suddenly.
The eldest brother cleared all his thoughts, a flash of inspiration occurred, and suddenly a possibility emerged!
"Right." After a moment, the eldest brother reaffirmed himself, "It must be so!"
"Since the extreme ice power I unintentionally spread out just now triggered a protective mechanism within the trial, causing the purest sword intent of the Sword Immortal to appear!"
"This also implies that within the trial, the purest sword intent of the Sword Immortal exists!"
Thinking of this, the eldest brother lowered his head again, starting to ponder.
"But, where is this purest sword intent?"
