At the bottom of Gujian Lake, in a different dimension.
Essentially, when the era collapsed, the might of the sword protected its master and maintained a small space, which was then shattered and became independent. It is not accurate to say that this space is a different world, because it still depends on the main plane to exist, and many elements in it, including air, are related to the main plane through some kind of channel, so you can communicate with it on the lake, but you will definitely not find the existence of a space here with your naked eyes.
Strictly speaking, it should be called a subsidiary plane.
Zhao Changhe thought of the Azure Dragon Seal because the sword's actions made no sense at all, and Xia Chichi had no reason to kill him. If one had to find a possible connection with Xia Chichi, it would only be the Azure Dragon Seal, which also came from the previous era.
After trying it, it turned out to be true.
When the magic sword touched the Azure Dragon Seal, a reaction occurred immediately.
Zhao Changhe and the other two seemed to see a trace of ancient times, as if they were dreaming of the past and seeing the shadow of the past.
A man in an imperial robe was saying, "The sky is filled with murderous intent, and the stars are shifting. I'm afraid the way of heaven has changed, and a catastrophe is about to begin. I should go back and make preparations early... If I can escape this catastrophe, I will come back to find you."
The woman sighed, "Why hide it from me... The Night Emperor has already fallen, and all you want is his position, to control that page of the Heavenly Book. They are afraid that I have a past with them, so they deliberately keep me here so that I won't be unable to use my powers."
The man in the imperial robe was silent for a moment: "You can think so."
"No matter what you do... I can wait for you, no matter how long it takes, even until the beginning of the new era." The woman's voice gradually became low: "I'm afraid you won't come..."
The man promised: "Don't worry, I will definitely come."
"Okay, I believe you. If you can really come, I have something else for you."
What happened to the man was not visible in the video, but Zhao Changhe and Xia Chichi knew very well that the man went back and prepared the tomb on Beimang, the inheritance of the Azure Dragon Seal, and all the funeral arrangements, but he had no intention of going back to look for the woman.
Zhao Changhe suddenly thought that the absurd displacement of Beimang might be the result of this emperor's back-up plan. After all, this emperor was already fighting for the Heavenly Book, and seemed to be more powerful than a normal emperor on earth.
It seems that this person really didn't think much about the woman, so there should be no misunderstanding.
When the collapse of the era came, the woman knew that she was not strong enough to avoid it, and she was disheartened and did not want to hide anymore, so she committed suicide in the sword room. All her thoughts before her death were about the promise made to the man before they left.
The image fades.
When Zhao Changhe and the other two opened their eyes, they saw a space that looked like a sword room, with several swords hanging around. An ancient corpse had long decayed here, and its clothes and other items had turned to ashes. Only a skeleton was sitting there quietly, without any sign of life.
The magic sword left Han Wubing's hand and wailed around the skeleton, as if saying, the ungrateful man is here, do you want to see him
But the master never responded again.
Xia Chichi felt very uncomfortable watching this, he took off the Azure Dragon Seal and placed it in front of the skull, worshipping and saying: "Senior, I have indeed received the baptism of this seal and the inheritance of the skills, but I am no longer the original owner... I am a woman, senior."
Excalibur: “…”
Theoretically, its inheritance must continue its cause and effect, including hatred. The sword has no thoughts, and it is even more impossible to distinguish between men and women. Its intention is to kill you, but Xia Chichi and Zhao Changhe almost crashed the system by dying for each other. It hates the unfaithful and naturally appreciates the loyal. Now the two are in conflict, should it kill or not
Originally, the killing intent prevailed. You were full of the aura of the Azure Dragon Seal. Wouldn't it mean that you were even more unfaithful to the original owner if you were to be loyal to others? Just as he was about to kill them together, another young man whom he recognized grabbed the hilt of the sword.
The divine sword completely broke down when surrounded by three loyal men.
Xia Chichi was also troubled, because the man in the imperial robe was definitely the inheritor of Azure Dragon and even had a certain possibility of being the incarnation of Azure Dragon, one of the beliefs of the Four Symbols Sect. This time, the unfaithful person became a member of her Four Symbols Sect, which was exactly the opposite of Xia Longyuan's case. If she were the heroine, she would kill you, the inheritor, but now she is the inheritor herself.
Xia Chichi was somewhat helpless, and whispered: "Senior, the inheritance and fortune in this Azure Dragon Seal have been absorbed by me. Theoretically, it is no longer useful. It is only preserved as a symbol of the Azure Dragon Saint. If you really hate it, I am willing to smash it. I wonder if you will think it is too light and meaningless?"
Regardless of whether it was significant or not, Xia Chichi thought of his mother at this moment and felt the same way. He gritted his teeth and smashed the Azure Dragon Seal to the ground viciously.
It's impossible to smash it.
Xia Chichi decided to go all out and grabbed the magic sword that was circling around his master and chopped it hard.
The Azure Dragon Seal, a treasure that had survived through the ages, was chopped in half.
The divine sword that had chopped off the Azure Dragon Seal itself let out a roar of joy. One could almost feel its excitement, as if the hatred that had spanned centuries had ended here.
Han Wubing, who was watching from the sidelines, looked at Xia Chichi with a changed look in his eyes, thinking to himself that this witch was really cruel, how could she bear to do such a thing... It's better to be careful when going against this woman.
Only Zhao Changhe understood Xia Chichi's feelings. He hugged her gently and whispered, "It's okay. Senior will calm down." As if to verify his words, the skeleton that had been sitting cross-legged all the time seemed to have an illusion of smiling, and then the bones gradually dissipated like smoke, as if they had never existed there.
"This is because the obsession was exhausted and then dissipated. I have heard similar stories from the elders in Jianlu." Han Wubing finally spoke: "I can't believe that such a mythical thing would really appear before my eyes... Last era... Last era..."
Listening to it, I feel as if I am traveling through time, and I don’t know how many romantic moments I admire at that time.
Zhao Changhe glanced at him. Shouldn't you feel like a light bulb at this time? In this sword room, I'm holding a girl. Can you see it
Forget it, ignore him. Zhao Changhe hugged Xia Chichi, who was still a little sad, and asked, "The Azure Dragon Seal is broken, can you report back?"
Xia Chichi shook his head: "It's okay, who cares about my Azure Dragon Seal? At worst, I can report that the Maitreya Cult stole it and beat them up."
Zhao Changhe: “…”
Xia Chichi sighed: "As I said just now, the Azure Dragon Seal itself is no longer useful, it is just a symbol. Whether I can firmly sit on the throne of the Saint depends not on a symbolic treasure, but on something else. Now the first important task has been done in such a mess..."
Han Wubing, who seemed to be in a trance, suddenly spoke up: "Your mission is to get the sword?"
"yes."
Han Wubing said: "Then your mission is completed."
Zhao Changhe and Xia Chichi said in unison: "We think it's yours."
Han Wubing was speechless: "Look at the sword stuck to your hand now, how can you tell it's mine?"
Xia Chichi looked down at the sword and found that the sword had a sense of dependence like a cat clinging to its owner.
She knew it in her mind. The old master's obsession had gone, and the sword had to be reborn. If it had to recognize a new master, it would of course be her, the one who cut off the Azure Dragon Seal. Others who were loyal and righteous would at most think that they could be partners, but would not easily recognize their master, just like Long Que did to Zhao Changhe now.
So the sword is indeed hers, mission accomplished...
Zhao Changhe also thought of this and felt a little apologetic: "Brother Han, this..."
Han Wubing was even more speechless: "I know you are loyal, and you think the sword suits me and should be mine. But I don't like this sword. I have never seen a sword that is full of sexual matters. How can a swordsman want to be troubled by this thing? And it is too beautiful. I am a bounty hunter, and it is best for me to have a simple and low-key weapon."
Zhao Changhe was speechless: "That's true... Then your sword..."
Han Wubing pointed at the surroundings of the sword room and said, "Aren't these all ancient fine swords? To be collected by the owner of this magic sword, its grade should not be too low. To be honest, I never ask for a very good sword. That will only make you dependent and ruin your sword spirit. It's enough to have enough. Having said that, I also want to advise you two to rely less on the magic weapons in your hands. Fighting against enemies of higher level may only gain temporary benefits, but it may not be a good thing in the long run."
Zhao Changhe took a step back and bowed solemnly: "Thank you, Brother Han, for your guidance."
As he stepped back, he accidentally stepped on something. Looking down, he saw the cushion on which the skeleton had been sitting cross-legged.
Zhao Changhe was a little puzzled. This thing was strange. The skeleton had disappeared and the clothes on the body had long since turned to ashes, so how come you, a cushion, were still there
He lowered his head to examine it and found that the cushion seemed to be woven with gold threads. He opened the gap and looked carefully, and there was another golden light inside, as if it was a page of book.
Zhao Changhe narrowed his eyes.
The words of the woman in the image flashed through my mind: "The Night Emperor has fallen, and all you want is his position, to control that page of the Heavenly Book. Are you afraid that I have a past relationship with them..."
Xia Chichi and Han Wubing may not know what this sentence means. They have no knowledge of the Heavenly Book and may think it is a token. But when Zhao Changhe heard this sentence, it was like a bell ringing in his ear, and it was hard to forget.
Think of the golden light flashing in the book of chaotic times...
If... this gold foil is that page of the heavenly book.
"If you can really come, I have something else for you."
If the man came back, he would get it.
