In the Comprehension Sword Peak.
Chu Fengmian returned from the North Mang Palace and has been immersed in the Comprehension Sword Peak, studying swordsmanship.
The battle in the North Mang Palace, especially the encounter with the Night Emperor and others, greatly benefited Chu Fengmian.
This was Chu Fengmian’s first time fighting with such powerful figures, which deeply enhanced his understanding of swordsmanship. The countless sword techniques recorded in the Sword Emperor’s Hall were also comprehended by Chu Fengmian and integrated into the Nine Domains Sword Technique.
One day, two days, three days...
In this Comprehension Sword Peak, Chu Fengmian sat through seven days’ time. During these seven days, Chu Fengmian was wholeheartedly dedicated to refining his swordsmanship.
The aura emanating from Chu Fengmian, the Sword Intent, has reached its peak and begun to calm down gradually.
Although the Sword Intent calmed down, the presence of Chu Fengmian was even more terrifying than before.
"Young Master, you have awakened?"
Chu Fengmian just opened his eyes, and beside him, the golden Spirit Sword, the Artifact Spirit of the Sword Emperor’s Hall, Cloud Sword, appeared, still asking with some shock in his voice.
"I never expected, Young Master, you’re still alive, and your appearance has completely changed. If it weren’t for your unchanged Sword Intent, even I wouldn’t recognize it was you."
Previously in the North Mang Palace, the situation was urgent, so Cloud Sword didn’t inquire much. Now that it’s settled down, he became extremely curious about Chu Fengmian.
In the catastrophe tens of thousands of years ago, even the Sword Dao Master fell, and even if not fallen, like Chu Fengmian’s senior brother, he escaped alive but was severely injured and soon perished.
But Chu Fengmian, at that time, was just a powerless cripple. Not only surviving the catastrophe was impossible, but even living for tens of thousands of years was improbable.
"Moreover, Young Master, you can actually cultivate Spiritual Power now?"
Cloud Sword expressed shock as he spoke, as this is what astounded him most; in his past life, Chu Fengmian’s understanding of Sword Dao was flawless.
But at that time, Chu Fengmian had the Nine Absolutes Body, unable to cultivate any Spiritual Power throughout his life, becoming a person who could not utilize Spiritual Power.
Not just the Sword Dao Master, Cloud Sword also felt great pity for Chu Fengmian back then, a sword Dao genius unable to cultivate Spiritual Power.
No matter how deep Chu Fengmian’s understanding of swordsmanship was, without strength to back it, it had no meaning and could not be exerted. Any Martial Artist could easily destroy Chu Fengmian.
Yet now, meeting Chu Fengmian again, it seemed like a colossal change occurred, transforming everything.
"Actually, I fell tens of thousands of years ago."
Chu Fengmian looked at Cloud Sword and spoke slowly; with Cloud Sword, he felt no need for any reservations and could speak freely.
"However, just a few years ago, I suddenly reincarnated into this body. I don’t really know what happened..."
Chu Fengmian then told Cloud Sword everything that happened in these years.
"Rebirth through reincarnation? How is this possible!"
Cloud Sword exclaimed in shock upon hearing Chu Fengmian’s words.
The legend of reincarnation and rebirth was a recurring rumor across every era in the Nine Domains.
But even the former Sword Dao Master, an invincible figure in the Nine Domains, merely shook his head, stating it was impossible when mentioning reincarnation and rebirth.
Even such pinnacle figures considered reincarnation a mere fantasy.
If you asked any strong figure in the Nine Domains, they would also shake their head, declaring it impossible.
Yet now, Chu Fengmian stood right before Cloud Sword’s eyes, making it hard for him not to believe in reincarnation and rebirth.
"Do you know why you were reborn through reincarnation?"
Cloud Sword asked involuntarily.
Logically, if reincarnation and rebirth were indeed possible, it should be achievable by peak beings of the Nine Domains.
In his past life, Chu Fengmian, bearing the Nine Absoutes Body, couldn’t even cultivate, so how could reincarnation and rebirth be possible?
"I don’t know. Ever since I jumped off Heavenly Extinction Peak, I lost track until I awakened after these tens of thousands of years."
Chu Fengmian shook his head.
He has always been trying to figure out why he reincarnated and was reborn, but to this day, he remains clueless.
"Maybe it’s a coincidence. In the Nine Domains, sometimes there are extraordinary phenomena, and perhaps my reincarnation is one such phenomenon."
"Alright, maybe once my strength is enough to reach the peak of the Nine Domains, I can figure out what is going on. Speculating now is meaningless."
Chu Fengmian understood that the Nine Domains were far more mysterious than he imagined, especially since the Nine Domains was not the entire world. Beyond the Nine Domains lies another realm. This life, after encountering Xing Xuan, he realized one more thing.
There are always stronger beings, a sky beyond the sky, and beyond the Nine Domains, what lies hidden is far beyond what Chu Fengmian knows now.
"With your aptitude, in this life, there is indeed a very high possibility that you could reach the peak of the Nine Domains."
Cloud Sword looked at Chu Fengmian and suddenly said.
"Did you take the Nine-Transformation Heavenly Stealing Pill?"
Cloud Sword glanced at Chu Fengmian’s body, feeling as if his aptitude could only be described as terrifying, surpassed any genius he had ever seen.
In the Sword Emperor’s Hall, Chu Fengmian’s senior brothers and sisters were all geniuses, surpassing the so-called prodigies of the seven great sects at that time, yet none could match Chu Fengmian’s current aptitude.
"However, I encountered Qing Luan, who gave me the Nine-Transformation Heavenly Stealing Pill."
If it weren’t for the Nine-Transformation Heavenly Stealing Pill, Chu Fengmian wouldn’t have achieved what he has now.
"The Master really gave the Nine-Transformation Heavenly Stealing Pill to Qing Luan, and then you obtained it?"
Hearing Chu Fengmian’s words, Cloud Sword was shocked and muttered to himself.
"Could the Master really have foreseen the changes that would occur tens of thousands of years later?"
Chu Fengmian immediately asked upon hearing Cloud Sword’s words.
"The Master, a few days before the calamity, seemed to sense something and summoned Qing Luan, gave him the Nine-Transformation Heavenly Stealing Pill, and instructed him to leave with it."
Cloud Sword spoke slowly.
As the Artifact Spirit of the Sword Emperor’s Hall, all actions were conducted under his watchful eye.
Cloud Sword found it strange back then why the Sword Dao Master would do this, but seeing Chu Fengmian now, Cloud Sword suddenly felt something unusual.
