Chapter 133: Chapter 134: Ancient Secrets

(Thanks to the book friend Jiu Yu Qingkong for the reward, the Protector is mighty! Xiao Xiao gives thanks!)

The sound caught Chu Linfeng off guard. Spirit Beasts being able to talk was nothing new to him. The Golden Demon Vulture could talk and even transform into human form.

But what the Celestial Ape said was too shocking. It actually knew his identity and was waiting for him, which was simply unbelievable.

Chu Linfeng gathered his courage and asked softly, ”How do you know I am the one you’re waiting for? And who exactly are you? Why are you here?”

In the presence of this massive creature, Chu Linfeng remained polite. The Sword Spirit had told him it had already surpassed Tier Nine Spirit Beast level, reaching the King Tier, so he must be careful. If he angered it, his life could be at risk.

”You don’t need to be afraid. I said I was specifically waiting here for you. You may not believe it, but the fact remains that you have the Divine Dragon’s blood in you, which is beyond doubt. Most importantly, you hold a divine sword familiar to me.” The Celestial Ape said.

It was too incredible for Chu Linfeng; this creature actually knew so much. Could it really be destined, and it was waiting for him?

Looking at the Cyan Frost Sword in his hand, Chu Linfeng felt this creature likely knew the sword’s owner well; maybe it was even his underling, much like Xiaoying, the Blood Shadow Frenzied Lion, was now.

”Who exactly are you, and why are you waiting for me?” Chu Linfeng felt there was something going on, and today’s surprise might be a gift from this big guy; the initial fear had vanished, replaced by intense curiosity.

”I sensed you as soon as you entered. You are quite lucky to have signed a Soul Contract with the Blood Shadow Frenzied Lion. It seems the legend is true, but your current strength is too weak to enter the Divine Battlefield!” The Celestial Ape remarked.

Chu Linfeng felt as if struck by lightning when ”Divine Battlefield” came up again. The giant Blood Shadow Frenzied Lion had mentioned in the Star Chamber that without reaching the Saint Martial Realm, one couldn’t enter. Now this creature mentioned it again; could he have ties to the Divine Battlefield?

However, given his age, it seemed impossible. Even being born with a Pure Yang Body and as Divine Dragon Hou Yi, it didn’t fit. This creature’s knowledge about Xiaoying being the Blood Shadow Frenzied Lion suggested its strength might be more terrifying than the Sword Spirit described.

”The Divine Battlefield is a place beyond my reach. Please don’t expect much, predecessor; just state your purpose. With your strength, a simple sneeze might cost me my life. No need for such nonsense.” Chu Linfeng directly got to the point, not worrying about the big guy’s potential anger.

About ten seconds later, a white light flashed before Chu Linfeng, forcing him to close his eyes involuntarily.

”Perhaps you are the fated one of legend. Seeing you today is not in vain for the master’s dedication. Let me tell you a few things.” The Celestial Ape said.

Chu Linfeng opened his eyes to see an elderly man with white hair standing not far from him, restricted by massive iron chains, with a broken sword piercing his chest, yet no blood flowed.

Chu Linfeng knew the chains weren’t ordinary iron chains; his strength could not be contained by regular chains. They must be made from exceptionally tough material, but the nature of that broken sword was unknown.

”Predecessor, how did you end up like this? Who harmed you?” Chu Linfeng asked. To confine such a powerful Spirit Beast here must require immense strength.

”This is a relic from the Divine Battlefield of the past. The Divine and Demonic War back then was so earth-shaking that it shook gods and spirits alike. Countless strong ones fell; the Human Race joined with the Beast Race but couldn’t achieve full victory over the Demon Race, managing only to slay six of the Twelve Demon Venerables, while the other six were sealed.

The Demon Lord was also sealed then, but the seal would only last for ten thousand years; now the time is almost up.

At that time, the strongest among the Human Race was the owner of the Cyan Frost Sword in your hand, the Green Frost Sect Master. Unfortunately, he was plotted against by the Blood Emperor and Nether Venerable, severely injured by the Demon Lord, and then vanished.

However, it was rumored that the Green Frost Sect Master had mastered a heaven-defying martial skill allowing reincarnation at the moment of death. As long as someone obtains the Cyan Frost Sword again, he becomes the reincarnation of the Green Frost Sect Master.

You’ve now gained the Cyan Frost Sword, but your strength is too weak to lift its seal. Otherwise, your strength wouldn’t be so terribly lacking.” The elder conjured by the Celestial Ape slowly explained, leaving Chu Linfeng utterly perplexed.

”I’m the reincarnation of the Green Frost Sect Master? How’s that possible? Did you make a mistake, predecessor?” Chu Linfeng asked incredulously; it seemed like a preposterous tale, stringing together unrelated facts with him.

Continuous coughing emanated, and Chu Linfeng saw black substance flowing from where the broken sword pierced the elder’s chest, carrying a pungent stench.

Seeing Chu Linfeng’s shocked expression, the elder smiled bitterly, ”This was left by the sixth Demon General under the Demon Lord, the Heaven-Destroying Demon General. The broken sword in my chest is his former sword, the Heaven-Slaying Demon Sword. To seal him, three Third Layer of Saint Martial Realm martial artists sacrificed their lives. I escaped during that time.”

Only then did Chu Linfeng notice, besides the broken sword, the chains were absent on the elder’s body, arousing great curiosity, ”Predecessor, what happened to your chains?”

”These aren’t ordinary chains; no iron chain could bind me. These are Celestial Cloud Lock Chains made from rare meteorites. I acquired them by chance; truth be told, I locked myself with these Celestial Cloud Lock Chains.”

The more Chu Linfeng listened, the stranger it seemed. Such self-masochism was bewildering, truly an oddity every year, with few patrons indeed.

”What exactly is this about? Do you have a hidden plight?”

”Correct, as you’ve seen, the broken sword at my chest is the fifth-rated Heaven-Slaying Demon Sword. Its demonic aura is extraordinarily potent. Although broken for ten thousand years, it relentlessly torments me.

Back then, the Blood Shadow Frenzied Lion, Cangyue White Tiger, and Fire Nether Phoenix, and myself had reached the Sixth Layer of Saint Martial Realm in strength. Both the White Tiger and the Frenzied Lion succumbed in the conflict, the Phoenix, despite possessing Nirvana Rebirth, was so severely injured it sealed itself.

Perhaps it was my luck allowing me to escape the calamity, but it was a narrow survival ordeal. Coupled with the Heaven-Slaying Demon Sword’s torment, my current strength reaches only King Tier Third Layer.

Possibly in a few years, it might degrade to Tier Nine strength, leaving me unable to withstand the demonic aura of the Heaven-Slaying Demon Sword. Your appearance might be the miracle I need.” The elder spoke slowly, coughing intermittently, his expression pale, appearing very unwell.

These secrets had certainly broadened Chu Linfeng’s horizons. If relayed to others, they might label it as delusional, but Chu Linfeng was different; his experiences were unmatched by others.

The appearance of the Sword Spirit, the events with Xiaoying, and the secrets of his identity were all incredulous affairs. After some thought, Chu Linfeng asked, ”Predecessor, how can I assist you...”
