Pursue to Sword Summit

Chapter 23 - Origin of heart-sword

Lin Mo still could not believe Xiao Yaozui's words, they were too profound and did not seem to be true, but since the Sect Leader had said so, there was no reason for him to not use the treasured sword, as it was a treasure that many people wanted.

Lin Mo then said: "Since it is a treasured sword left behind by the ancestor, it must be of a very high grade, right?"

Although Lin Mo had not used any treasures before, he still knew the level of magic treasures. On this large road, magic treasures were generally divided into different grades: ordinary, spiritual, saint, immortal and divine.

The so-called mortal weapons were made of all sorts of metals, and there wasn't much spirit energy above the weapon. But once one reached the Qi Cultivating Stage, they would have the opportunity to use the lowest level spirit artifacts, and mortal weapons didn't have any rank differences. This was because they didn't have any spiritual nature, but at the Spirit Treasure level, there were very obvious levels.

If they wanted to obtain a saint artifact, then even a country with a population of over a hundred million would not be able to find a few. This was because a cultivator who could use a saint artifact, his strength was at the very least Absolute Saint, and the biggest sect in Great Ming Country, which was the Sect Leader and a few old monsters, had such strength, so if Great Ming Country wanted to find a few saint artifacts, he would probably have to turn the entire country upside down.

As for higher level immortal equipment, divine tools, Lin Mo had only heard of them before, but as for what they looked like, only the Gods would know, it was extremely rare for him to even see Spirit Treasures, so Lin Mo really wanted to know the rank of this heart-sword.

Xiao Yaozui laughed: "According to everyone's recognized rank, this heart-sword should be at the Holy-ranked."

"Saint artifact?" Lin Mo almost dropped the heart-sword in his hands. Normally, he would not even be able to see a Spirit Treasure, but today, he was holding a Holy-ranked sword.

"Sect Leader, is what you said true?" Lin Mo still didn't quite believe it. Sacred Artifacts, what kind of concept was that? Even Lingyun Sect didn't have much of it.

Xiao Yaozui laughed and accepted it: "I was just afraid of scaring you, so I said it this way first. Actually, its grade must still have some truth."

"Could it be that even a saint artifact is wrong? Is there some other universe here? Sect Leader, what do you mean by this?" Lin Mo said excitedly.

Xiao Yaozui also did not plan to hide it from Lin Mo, because Lin Mo is now the master of the heart-sword, so of course he knows about the origins of the heart-sword. Xiao Yaozui said: "Even though this heart-sword was left behind by the ancestor, it was not refined by the ancestor, and according to the ancestor's words, the heart-sword was obtained from him by luck, and when the ancestor obtained the heart-sword, at the age of twenty, he met a beautiful woman while traveling. This woman was heavily injured, but her strength was shockingly high, and the injuries sustained by her were due to her failure to transcending tribulation.

Lin Mo's blood boiled when he heard it. So the ancestor had had such a fortuitous encounter, and the beautiful woman he met was actually in the Heaven Realm.

"What happened then?" Lin Mo could not wait and asked.

"Later on, after the beautiful woman recovered her strength, in order to repay the ancestor for saving her life, she passed down everything she learned to the ancestor. This is also the origin of the Immortal Sword Sect's sword techniques, but because the ancestor's strength is limited, the sword techniques that the woman taught the ancestor can only reach the level of Absolute Saint.

"But there's no mention of heart-sword here, and how did they come about it?" Lin Mo hurriedly asked.

Xiao Yaozui continued to laugh: This heart-sword, is precisely the sword that the beauty gave to me as a gift. At that time, my ancestor did not cultivate sword techniques, but fist techniques, and the woman only passed down sword techniques, of course she needed a good sword, so she gifted her own sword to him.

"So that's how it is, then this heart-sword is amazing. The beauty's cultivation realm is already at the heavenly man level, how can her treasured sword be worse?" Lin Mo seemed to be muttering to himself.

What you said is right, according to what the ancestor left behind, this heart-sword is at least at the Immortal Grade, but because of our Immortal Sword Sect's current strength, if the outside world finds out that we possess a Immortal Artifact Treasure Sword, they will definitely cause the surrounding big powers to salivate, and they will definitely scheme for us, when that time comes, Immortal Sword Sect will be in a difficult situation.

Lin Mo nodded his head, the Sect Leader was right, if the Lingyun Sect or some other sects from other countries were to know that this small Immortal Sword Sect actually had a Divine Equipment, they would not be able to sleep, and if they couldn't eat, they would need to get it. Even a powerful country couldn't get a single immortal equipment.

"So that's the reason why the heart-sword's true level was concealed. I understand." Lin Mo said.

"It's good that you understand it now, in the future you cannot mention the level of this heart-sword to anyone, and it's best if you don't let the outside world know that this is the heart-sword, because once the heart-sword was passed to me, no one in the Immortal Sword Sect has ever seen it before. Now that I've passed it to you, you are the second person to know its identity, so you must keep it a secret."

"I got it, I won't reveal the heart-sword's secret." Lin Mo said firmly.

"I believe you will do it. There is also one other thing that is related to heart-sword, you are the master of the heart-sword now, so you have the right to know about this."

Lin Mo quickly listened attentively. He also wanted to know how many more secrets the heart-sword had.

Xiao Yaozui continued: "The woman who gifted the clan master the heart-sword also left behind a message: In the future, no matter what difficulties the clan master encounters, if the clan master were to bring the heart-sword to look for her, she would definitely help. And in the future, as long as it's the clan leader's successor, if he obtains the heart-sword, he would definitely receive help from her sect."

"Then has the ancestor ever tried to find her, and what is her identity? Does the ancestor know?" Lin Mo asked.

Xiao Yaozui said in a low voice: "This is the biggest secret of my Immortal Sword Sect. Over the past few thousand years, only the Sect Leader would know about this secret.

Lin Mo scratched his head and laughed: "Sect Leader will keep this a secret, you can rest assured."

Xiao Yaozui laughed: "According to the last words of the ancestor, this Heaven Realm woman is a Valley Lord of Hundred Flowers Valley. Have you heard of Hundred Flowers Valley?"
