Ch. 1132 - I Shall Wield My Blade For You For A Thousand Years

Brahma had already left Mortal Ascension Heaven. Xu Zimo believed that Arcane Demon and the others were not lying to him about it.

He put away the Grand-Pivot God-Sword and, together with Zhang Bei and the other two, walked around the abyss left behind in Hundred Flowers Valley.

They found no other anomalies.

It could be said that Myriad Flowers Fairy and Hundred Flowers Valley had indeed left.

“If Brother Xu has nothing else to do, you’re welcome to visit our Brahma Monarch God Realm in the Western Region,” Arcane Demon said with a smile.

“Let us at least show our hospitality.”

“No need, I still have some personal matters,” Xu Zimo replied. “If you want to repay me, help me look for the Vast Heaven God Realm and the True Martial Sacred Ground.”

“Rest assured, Brother Xu. If we hear anything, we’ll let you know,” the three of them said, nodding.

The four of them walked through the air, heading toward the edge of the particle world at the ends of the earth.

Xu Zimo wanted to see Miss Jing.

His suspicion had finally become reality, there was indeed some powerful entity watching his every move in secret.

It even wanted to pull him into its grand scheme.

What was a bit unfortunate was that he had not met Saint Sovereign Brahma.

But he could understand. The Saint Sovereign would not let the mortal realm bind him.

At that level of existence, what mattered most was one’s own Dao, not being some great hero or savior.

Some cultivate the path of salvation.

Some cultivate the path of solitude.

The Dao contains all things. Heaven and earth are vast beyond measure. The seven emotions, six desires, life, and death, all are contained within it.

Before leaving the particle world, Xu Zimo met the Sword God, Xie Changliu, once more.

His black hair had suddenly turned completely white.

The white strands floated like falling snow, drifting in the void.

His gaze held neither joy nor sorrow. He carefully carried a woman in his arms as he walked through the heavens.

“Where are you taking her?” Xu Zimo stepped forward and asked.

“She once said she wanted to travel the Nine Heavens with me. I plan to show her,” Xie Changliu answered calmly.

“You’re not planning to save her?” Xu Zimo asked.

As soon as those words fell, Xie Changliu’s sword aura flared violently.

His eyes fixed on Xu Zimo, his voice trembling slightly. “Can she… still be saved?”

“Not by others, but I can,” Xu Zimo said.

He possessed the Tree of Life. The Tree of Life not only extended one’s lifespan, it also bore a fruit every thousand years.

That fruit could reconstruct the body, even restore the soul.

Of course, the condition was that the person’s soul had not yet entered the Netherworld or Mirage Tides Heaven.

As one of the Nine Heavens, Mirage Tides Heaven/Netherworld was the final destination of all souls of the dead.

Once a soul entered it, it was a death sentence, it could only reincarnate.

“I beg you, save her,” Xie Changliu said without hesitation, kneeling before Xu Zimo.

He was a Sword God. His path should have been unwavering, cutting through all obstacles with his sword.

Yet his sword path had fallen because of a woman.

“What is your relationship with her?” Xu Zimo asked.

“She’s my wife,” Xie Changliu replied.

“Ten years ago, she chased after a Blue Demon Rose and accidentally entered Hundred Flowers Valley. She was ultimately controlled by Myriad Flowers Fairy, becoming her representative in the mortal realm. When I arrived, it was too late to stop it, so I stayed in this particle world to guard her side.”

“Ten years ago… then her soul has likely already entered the Netherworld,” Xu Zimo said.

“I can preserve her body for now and lock her yang soul. As long as her yin soul can be brought back from the Netherworld, she can be revived.”

“The Netherworld…” Xie Changliu murmured softly, then looked at Xu Zimo and nodded solemnly.

“I entrust her to you.”

Xu Zimo waved his right hand, and a leaf from the Tree of Life drifted down gently.

It landed on the woman’s heart.

The leaf turned into rich life energy that surged through her meridians and body.

After several major circulations, color slowly returned to her cheeks.

Xu Zimo raised his hand again, and a life fruit dropped from the Tree of Life. The fruit was entirely green, pulsing like a living heart.

The rhythm of life sounded, thump, thump, thump.

Between his hands, yin and yang energies intertwined. His brow opened to reveal the Infinite-Samsara God-Eye.

The light of reincarnation shone upon the woman’s body.

Tracing back through cycles of reincarnation, Xu Zimo forcibly located the fragments of her yang soul scattered through the world.

He formed seals with his fingers and struck the soul into her body.

The woman coughed violently several times, then fainted again, her expression peaceful.

The two lines of yin and yang energy wrapped around her body.

“It’s done. Her yang soul will stay locked for three thousand years,” Xu Zimo said.

“But after three thousand years, when the fruit’s power is gone, her life will end.”

Xie Changliu bowed deeply to Xu Zimo.

He lifted the woman into his arms and waved his hand, opening his own particle world.

At his level, he could already create a particle world of his own. When he became a Grand Emperor in the future, that world could become his Dao Source.

He placed the woman inside.

Xu Zimo turned to leave. He had saved her only because he respected Xie Changliu,

It had been a long time since he met someone with such pure devotion to the sword.

Unfortunately, that purity had been destroyed by love.

But such things, one willing to love, one willing to fall, were not for others to judge.

Most powerful beings avoided attachments to their descendants.

Once you have something you care about, your heart can be shaken by their life or death.

Thus, even if the Martial Heaven Sacred Ground fell or was destroyed, the Martial Heaven Emperor would not return.

Even with the return of the Ancient Demon and Fiend races, Brahma would not intervene.

The most ruthless of all are the strong.

They are rational, not sentimental. They know the path they walk and what they are willing to sacrifice for it.

……

Xu Zimo prepared to leave, but Xie Changliu continued following behind him.

“Why are you following me?” Xu Zimo asked with a frown.

“You helped me. I will wield my sword to protect you for one thousand years. After that, I will go to the Netherworld to retrieve her yin soul.

“Life or death, it won’t matter,” Xie Changliu said seriously.

He knew how difficult it would be to retrieve a soul from the Netherworld.

It would mean becoming an enemy of an entire heaven.

If it were easy, anyone could bring back the dead.

“You don’t need to follow me,” Xu Zimo said, shaking his head.

“This is my way of doing things, I don’t want to die with regrets,” Xie Changliu said.

He knew that once he entered the Netherworld, he would likely never return.

So before he went, he wanted to repay Xu Zimo’s favor.

Even if Xu Zimo didn’t care, he would still repay it, that was his principle.

Xu Zimo said nothing more, walking toward the outer edge of the particle world at the ends of the earth.

That particle world had several teleportation formations.

One could return to Brahma City or travel elsewhere.
