Chapter 677: Chapter 677 – The One Who Answered

Neither Chen Heng nor Philip explained much about the changes that had occurred in this battle.

However, from the sealed Venerate corpse, it could be seen that the culprit who had repeatedly attacked not only the Hao Hua Sect Master but also the Star Alliance Leader had clearly fallen. Even his own body had become a corpse and had been taken away as a trophy.

The Star Alliance Leader and Hao Hua Sect Master seemed to have reached an agreement that they would not fight anymore. They would use the territory in front of them as a boundary, and they would not invade each other again.

Normally, such a promise was naturally very weak. However, in a world where the strong ruled, as long as Philip and Chen Heng reached an agreement, no one would be able to go against it.

Just like that, time slowly passed. In the blink of an eye, another fifty years had passed since that battle.

After fifty years, in the sacred land of the Haohua faction, a change began to slowly take place. Bolts of lightning appeared out of thin air and spread out in all directions.

Sitting alone in his isolation room, Chen Heng opened his eyes silently.

“So that’s how it is…”

He looked in front of him. There, a pure true spirit that had been extracted appeared.

This was Venerate Ming’s true spirit. It had been extracted by Chen Heng after the battle that year. He had been quietly reading the memories and information within. And this process had taken fifty years.

If it was an ordinary expert, it would naturally not be so troublesome. The situation for Venerate Ming situation seemed to be somewhat different. Not only were there multiple seals, but there was also a mark that belonged to the heaven-cleaving sword. Thus, it appeared to be a little troublesome.

But now, after fifty years, it was finally completely unlocked. Chen Heng looked in front of him casually and a stream of information flowed from within and surged into Chen Heng’s mind.

Instantly, a scene appeared. It was a medicinal garden full of spiritual energy, and within it, an ancient divine tree grew. That divine tree was very tall, at least several hundred meters tall.

On the tree, an ancient heaven-cleaving divine sword was inserted quietly, and it had been lying there for an unknown number of years.

Below, countless people were worshipping, praying to that heaven-cleaving divine sword continuously.

As they prayed, the heaven-cleaving sword swayed slightly, and a wisp of energy returned and rushed into the bodies of those people.

This was the energy feedback given by the heaven-cleaving sword, and it was very shocking. If it was melted into the body, it would be enough for even a Heavenly Venerate to receive a huge benefit.

However, those people did not use this feedback. Instead, they carefully drew out this energy and finally fused it all into one person.

It was a newborn baby. Just as it was born, an endless amount of weather was produced. It attracted all the spiritual energy in the surrounding world and completed its own body.

Wisps of energy feedback from the heaven-cleaving sword were gathered and fused into the baby’s body. Finally, it formed a weak brand in its body and resonated with the heaven-cleaving sword.

At this point, the initial connection had already been formed. Subsequently, the baby grew up under the heaven-cleaving divine sword and lived by its side day and night, silently growing that connection.

Seeing this, Chen Heng’s heart moved. It seemed that Venerate Ming really had a great background. He was actually born under the heaven-cleaving sword and gathered the energy feedback of an entire race.

From then on, he obtained the resonance of the heaven-cleaving sword when he was born, he had the qualifications to hold the heaven-cleaving sword. However, this was only a qualification. To a certain extent, it was not a recognition obtained by his own ability. It was just a trick.

Thinking about it this way, the heaven-cleaving sword’s previous performance was indeed like this. Although it could be activated, it did not recover from the beginning to the end. It did not have the feeling of being connected to the weapon master’s Qi Blood.

Now that he thought about it, that Venerable Ming was not the Weapon Master of the heaven-cleaving sword at all. He was just its user. One doubt was solved, and another doubt surged up.

Why did the venerable Ming attack Chen Heng? One had to know that in the beginning, Chen Heng and that Venerable Ming could be said to have no enmity.

Why did the other party attack Chen Heng? This was also something that Chen Heng had always been puzzled about. And this point, Chen Heng also found the answer from Venerable Ming’s memories.

“The Selected One?”

Standing on the spot, feeling the memories in Venerable Ming’s mind, Chen Heng frowned.

In this world, there was a type of Sky Heavenly Weapon called the Great Heavenly Weapon. When a Heavenly Weapon reached the level of the Great Heavenly Weapon, it corresponded to the legendary gods and demons.

And according to the legends, the Great Heavenly Weapon would choose the corresponding Answerer to heed order every other era.

The Answerer that heeds order of the Great Heavenly Weapon was born with all kinds of special powers of the Heavenly Divine Weapon. He was born extraordinary, and there was even hope for him to become an Immortal God in the future.

No matter what world he was in, it was far from easy to become an existence at the level of an immortal God.

Whether it was the gods in the World of Gods or the Immortal Gods in this world, their positions were all high and mighty, and mortals could only look up to them.

In front of such an existence, so what if they were the supreme Heavenly Venerates in the eyes of mortals? They were still just ants.

Therefore, for those who truly understood this world, the supreme Heavenly Venerables were never the ultimate goal, but the Immortal Gods were. However, how could it be so easy to become an Immortal God?

Under normal circumstances, even if tens of thousands of years passed in an era, they might not be able to become an Immortal God.

In order to reach this level, all methods were worth trying. Resonating with the Sky Heavenly Weapon, obtaining weapon’s mark, and becoming the Answerer who heeds order from the Sky Heavenly Weapon was one of the methods.

The existence of the Sky Heavenly Weapon itself was equivalent to the Immortal God level. Its power was extraordinary, and only the Immortal God level could completely grasp and comprehend it.

If he could become a Sky Heavenly Weapon’s Answerer, then no matter what, the possibility of becoming an Immortal God would increase by at least thirty percent.

Venerate Ming was deliberately placed under the heaven-cleaving sword when he was born and even used the power of an entire race to baptize him to have the mark of the heaven-cleaving sword embedded in his body so that he could become the Answerer of the heaven-opening sword.

Unfortunately, judging from the situation before him, it was most likely not a complete success.

Although there was the mark of the heaven-cleaving sword in his body, he did not fully obtain the recognition of the heaven-cleaving sword and became its weapon master.

As such, the effect would naturally be greatly reduced. Towards this result, Venerate Ming felt unwilling, so he thought of another way.

Kill the person who answered the command of the other Sky Heavenly Weapons and take away the mark of the Sky Heavenly Weapons from their bodies and fuse them into their bodies.

In this way, even if the effect weren’t the best, at least there would be a little more hope. This was also the reason why he placed his gaze on Chen Heng.

From Venerate Ming’s point of view, Chen Heng possessed the Dao Principles of the Immortal Sect in his body. He was naturally extraordinary. Along the way, he shocked the experts of ancient and modern times. It could be said that he possessed the talent of an Immortal God. He was the person who answered the command of the Immortal Sect in this era.

Therefore, he made a move on Chen Heng, hoping to seize the Dao Principles of the Immortal Sect and the mark in Chen Heng’s body to achieve his own success.

This was the truth behind his attack on Chen Heng.

“So this is the truth…”

Feeling the information in Venerate Ming’s mind, Chen Heng was somewhat shocked and speechless.

The reason why Venerate Ming targeted him was fundamentally for the sake of his own Dao Path. It was just that he was somewhat unscrupulous. Chen Heng didn’t know how to explain this behavior, so he could only laugh it off in the end.

However, Chen Heng was very interested in what the person who answered the Sky Heavenly Weapon said.

“The so-called person who answered the Immortal Sect’s orders…”

Sitting upright on the spot, Chen Heng pondered for a moment, then raised his head. “I’m afraid I am one…”

In the past, Chen Heng had already discovered his incarnation’s uniqueness.

The principles of the Immortal Sect he had carved in this incarnation seemed to have resonated with the Immortal Sect that existed in this world to a certain extent. There was even an unceasing flow of Destiny gathering and channeling into this body of his.

Now that he thought about it, this should be the answer to the Immortal Sect.

Along with the Immortal Sect resonating with him, he was also chosen by the Immortal Sect as the person who answered the orders in this era. Thus, his Destiny was replenished by the Immortal Sect and was constantly strengthened.

And from this point of view, the person who accepted the orders of the Sky Heavenly Weapon had a higher probability of becoming an Immortal God. This was also inevitable.

The Dao of the Sky Heavenly Weapon would change the person’s aptitude. Even if the person were originally an ordinary person, after receiving the Dao of the Sky Heavenly Weapon, he would slowly transform and become a supreme Heavenly Gifted Individual.

On the other hand, the person who answered the Sky Heavenly Weapon’s orders could continuously obtain the Destiny and become a Chosen One.

Under circumstances of one’s aptitude change, destiny increases, and could resonate with a Sky Heavenly Weapon that was an Immortal God, the probability of becoming an Immortal God naturally increased.

But thinking about it this way, Chen Heng thought of something. That woman named You Ruo.

“According to what I’ve seen in the past, she’s not an ordinary person but was born from a wisp of the Immortal Bell’s spirit light…

“Then, according to the situation of the person who answered the call…”

Standing on the spot, Chen Heng understood the meaning in his heart. According to the logic of the person who answered the call, that woman named You Ruo was probably the person who answered the Immortal Bell’s call in this era.

There was probably no mistake about this. After all, You Ruo not only had a shocking background, she was the reincarnation of the Immortal Bell’s spirit light. She also had all sorts of special abilities since she was young, allowing her to know the past and present, and to see what happened in the past and the future.

With this special ability, it was impossible to say she wasn’t the person who answered the Immortal Bell. It was just that he didn’t know how she was doing now.

In Venerable Ming’s memories, Chen Heng didn’t find any memories of You Ruo.

As long as the mark of the Immortal Bell was also a secret treasure passed down from the ancestors, it was an existence that had once reached the level of an Immortal God. It transformed from a watch bell and finally forcefully carved out the mark and Dao principles.

It had to be said that the race Venerate Ming belonged to was very powerful. Not only could they find the location of the heaven-cleaving sword and forcefully create Venerate Ming, but they could also retain the mark of the Immortal Bell.
