The Birth of Sword God

Chapter 440 381: The Secret of the Black Bead and Medicine Cauldron

In the grand hall, Jiang Zhi and the others weren't worried at all.

They all knew the special nature of Chu Huaixu's Heart Sword.

The black Little Sword within his Sea of Consciousness was truly remarkable.

When Chu Huaixu first entered cultivation, it could nearly pierce through all illusions.

He was just a Low Tier Cultivator, yet he could rely on it to annihilate Primordial Spirits and Emperor's Divine Thoughts!

In the face of the Heart Sword, illusions, nightmares, Divine Sense, and Divine Souls... all are powerless!

Even if you are a Ninth Realm Cat Demon, what can you do?

Could you possibly be stronger than the Moon Country Ancestor Emperor at Great Perfection in the Ninth Realm?

Therefore, Jiang Zhi felt assured, thinking that as soon as Chu Huaixu enters the dream, he should awaken in no time.

However, the development of the situation was different from what he expected.

Outside the Unconfined Forest, Chu Huaixu fell asleep and couldn't wake up.

...

...

Outside the forest, the young man in a black and gold robe had already collapsed to the ground, sleeping peacefully.

He was usually well-behaved in sleep, but today, he mysteriously snored slightly.

Yet Chu Huaixu was completely unaware of this.

At this moment, he still stood outside the Unconfined Forest.

The events in the dream mirror those in reality, almost like a one-to-one reproduction.

So much so that he did not even feel a change in scenery, completely unaware of having been drawn into a nightmare in an instant.

For Chu Huaixu, he can indeed pierce through all illusions.

The premise is... he must realize he's in an Illusion Realm and then wield the Heart Sword.

Of course, his Heart Sword is special; like a Sword Spirit, though transformed from a Spiritual Embryo, it is spiritual and has a consciousness of its own.

Therefore, sometimes even if Chu Huaixu is unaware, the Heart Sword, with its high rank, may act on its own.

Yet at this moment, the Heart Sword showed no reaction.

Unaware, Chu Huaixu stood outside the forest and suddenly looked up at the sky.

Because in the heavens, a strange phenomenon was occurring!

All the clouds in the nine skies began to gather together.

Then, a gigantic cloud whirl formed!

The entire sky was covered by this enormous cloud whirl.

Slowly, the white clouds turned into black clouds, with frequent lightning and thunderous sounds at times.

Chu Huaixu frowned slightly, feeling quite surprised.

This level of Heaven and Earth Phenomena was truly terrifying.

It seemed to pervade the entire firmament!

As time passed, a dozen breaths later, the black clouds in the sky condensed into a black cat.

The thunderstorms continued amidst the changing skies, and a great wind arose between heaven and earth.

The wind was so strong that an ordinary person might not stand steadily.

Chu Huaixu stood in the fierce wind, unable to fathom the Cat Demon's intentions.

"Why such pomp and circumstance?"

At the same time, he couldn't help but doubt.

"Has this cat grown this strong?"

He steadied himself in the wild wind, staring fixedly at the Cat Demon formed by black clouds, utterly fearless.

With the Fearless Sword Intent protecting him, he knows not the feeling of fear.

No matter how grand the setup or imposing the momentum, if you're fearless, you're fearless!

"Chu Huaixu!"

The voice of the Cat Demon descended from the nine skies.

As it spoke, the black clouds pressed down aggressively, full of pressure.

He looked up at the scene, merely tightening his grip on the Sword Scabbard in his hand.

The Cat Demon high above seemed to notice this point.

Its gaze fell upon the black Sword Scabbard.

To be precise, it was staring at the black bead on the Sword Scabbard [Calming the Storm].

Once Chu Huaixu noticed this, he glanced down at the black bead on the scabbard.

"Chu Huaixu, the world believes your Lifebound Object to be that shabby Sword Scabbard."

"But I know clearly, your Lifebound Object must be the three-legged cauldron inside that black bead, right?"

The Cat Demon's voice came from high above, resonant as thunder!

Regarding his great secret being uncovered, Chu Huaixu seemed not the least bit surprised.

After all, it's a cat that's been with the Dao Ancestor for some years.

It must know what the Lifebound Object of the Dao Ancestor is.

Currently, [Dao Generating One] is inherited by him, so the Cat Demon guessing it is normal.

As for its knowledge of the Medicine Cauldron within the black bead, it's no surprise.

Thus he directly replied:

"Then so what?"

The black cat looked at him, the terrifying black clouds high above pressed down a bit more, the voice boomed:

"Have you learned the secret of the black bead and the three-legged cauldron?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Huaixu couldn't help but frown.

"The secret of the black bead and Medicine Cauldron?" he thought.

He had frequently used the mystical aspects of [Dao Generating One].

Such as the miraculous elixir crafting ability.

And the incredibly fearsome defense.

As for the black bead...

Usually, he only deemed it as a Storage Space, capable of thwarting all Divine Sense probing.

Beyond that, the object seemed indestructible.

And there's a feature: the Evil Pill could devour all things but can be safely placed within it.

It can be placed inside the Medicine Cauldron, outside the cauldron, or within the space of the bead.

Of course, the most surprising moment about the black bead was during the Daoist Ancestor Inheritance Secret Realm!

Recalling his interactions with the Dao Ancestor in the Secret Realm, Chu Huaixu still feels a bit of goosebumps in retrospect.

"So, could this be what the black cat referred to as the bead's secret?" Dead Fox speculated internally.

He desperately wants to know all of this!

Now, Chu Huaixu plans to fish for more information, thinking the cat is incredibly foolish.

However, the black cat gave him no chance.

It seemed to notice that Chu Huaixu was unaware of these details.

So, it immediately burst out laughing.

"Hahaha! Indeed, you haven't entered the Fifth Realm, clearly, you haven't figured it out."

Unbeknownst to it, these words could indirectly provide Chu Huaixu with some useful information.

And this foolish cat quickly continued:

"Forget it, why should I tell you this!"

"Let me deal with you properly today!"

"Chu Huaixu! Enter the nightmare!"

The next moment, before Dead Fox could react, he felt a bit dizzy.

Immediately, he entered into an endless sleep.

...

...

Minute by minute, time passed, the people in the grand hall also noticed something amiss.

Jiang Zhi panicked instantly.

"Not good!!"

His silhouette vanished immediately, swiftly flying towards the Unconfined Forest.

Yuwen Huai and the other Spring and Autumn Mountain's high-ranking members hurriedly followed.

He was most speechless towards Jiang Zhi.

"I keep saying we should intercept!"

"You were so confident there was no need to intervene!"

"Now great, if anything happens, is it your fault or mine?"

The Daoist Junior Martial Uncle indeed is famously unreliable! Indeed not by false reputation!

Inside the Unconfined Forest, Pei Songji also panicked immediately.

"Protector! Quickly release Chu Huaixu."

The plump black cat wouldn't pay him any mind.

"He came looking for me today, to no avail."

"Based on our oath, he needs to reach the Fifth Realm first."

"You came early, let me show you the taste of my nightmare meow!"

"Hahaha!"

The instigator immediately transformed into black clouds, flying out of the mountain.

"I'll go wandering for some time!"

This Cat Demon shamelessly fled openly!

Moreover, it moved with utmost speed, Pei Songji wanted to block but couldn't catch up.

By the time Jiang Zhi and the others reached the Unconfined Forest, the Cat Demon was nowhere in sight.

Leaving Chu Huaixu alone asleep, trapped in the nightmare.
