Chapter 569: Chapter 569
Long Yubei lowered his voice and said, "The meaning inscribed there is that the Rejuvenation Netherworld Sword was given to him by a Goddess, of whose identity he had no clue. He only knew that the Goddess was exceedingly beautiful and was gravely injured at the time. It was our ancestor from the Long Family, Long Liuzhi, who found her and saved her. In return, the Goddess handed both swords over to him, mentioning that the swords could suppress evil spirits and protect future generations of our family. Our ancestor trusted her words and accepted the swords. The Goddess told him that these swords must not be given to those outside his descendants, and even if passed down, only to those who are trustworthy and imposing, or else it would bring disasters."
He narrated, "What is written there is in ancient script, so it’s quite long when translated. It’s evidently written by him and was meant to be hidden by our Long Family’s descendants following his directives. Moreover, as for who is the master of these two swords, even if the swords are in the hands of others, they can be summoned back."
Upon hearing this, Gu Lili anxiously asked, "So how does one become the master of the swords?"
"There needs to be a Spell to wield them. To be recognized as the master, one must recite the Spell in front of the swords."
The meaning couldn’t be clearer—having the Spell was useless at the moment; first, they needed to find the Huiling Sword. Once recognized as the master, regardless of whether the sword was at one’s side or not, one could simply recite the Spell to summon it. Thıs content belongs to novel[f]ire.net
At least now, Gu Lili was somewhat relieved, as others would not know the Spell.
Without the Spell, no one could wield the Huiling Sword.
Tonight, Long Yubei and Gu Lili stayed in the old house.
Long Yubei told her the Spells for both swords.
Afterward, he recited the Spell in front of the Jiuquan Sword, and upon finishing, the Jiuquan Sword emitted a green light from within.
Gu Lili watched as the light quickly disappeared, "Is that all it takes?"
"To see if it’s successful, try taking the sword to another room."
Gu Lili received the sword from his hands and went to Long Fengxi’s room.
No sooner had she entered and sat down on the edge of the bed, the sword escaped from her grip and flew towards the door, which opened automatically. She chased after it and returned to the bedroom, only to see Long Yubei holding the Jiuquan Sword in his hands.
"Such divine power indeed."
"I’m truly curious which Goddess’s Magic Artifact this is."
"Let’s not worry about it for now; I will find the Huiling Sword no matter what."
"I have an idea," Gu Lili approached him, "Now, only Lin Yueer knows where the Huiling Sword is. Unless she speaks up, our blind search is not a solution. What do you think if I infiltrate her side?"
"Infiltrate?" Long Yubei disapproved, "No, that’s not a good idea. If she discovers it’s you, killing you would be as easy as flipping her hand."
"What if she doesn’t know it’s me?" Gu Lili spoke, "You catch one of her maids, and I enter her body. I think this way is faster. Once the Huiling Sword recognizes me as the master, who else could steal it?"
"You can’t get in," Long Yubei replied, "If it were so easy to enter the body of someone with cultivation, I would already have entered Lin Yueer’s body to steal her memories, which would reveal the whereabouts of the Huiling Sword. The spiritual body of someone with cultivation is not like a normal human body; others can’t just infiltrate it. One must extract the soul from within and seal it in another body without cultivation."
"But when I was suffering great punishment in the underworld, your father had me enter a spiritual body."
"That’s not the same at all. At that time, my father allowed you to use a different body to undergo the punishment in your stead. That body had no cultivation."
