Godslayer: Starting with a sword god, the Night Watchers can't hold on any longer.

Chapter 228 Progress of collecting the Immortal Sword 34

After sensing the familiar aura emanating from Xiao Jue.

The spirit of the Immortal Sword had slightly red eyes, as if she had a thousand grievances she wanted to tell her sister.

But in the end, he simply pursed his lips and gently shook his head.

The Western Frontier, guarded by the Immortal Sword, was arguably the place with the thinnest spiritual energy of heaven and earth in ancient times.

Now, in this degenerate age, the westernmost part of the Great Xia Dynasty is completely devoid of any spiritual energy.

Therefore, even after a hundred years, the Immortal-Trapping Sword has still not regained its former glory.

If it weren't for the lingering power of faith within this ancient city...

I reckon she couldn't hold on any longer and died on her own.

"It's alright now, I've come to find you."

Xiao Jue gently rubbed Hong's head and comforted her softly.

Then, he turned his head and looked at Li Jie pitifully.

"Brother Li Jie, could you give me some Heaven and Earth Essence Liquid?"

Startled by the sudden mention, Li Jie paused for a moment, then casually opened the sword-nurturing gourd at his waist, forming a sword shape with his fingers and drawing out a thin stream of water.

Sensing the pure, primordial power of the world within that stream of water, Hong, who had been leaning against Xiao Jue's shoulder with a pitiful expression, froze.

They stared in disbelief at the primordial energy that instantly filled the attic.

"This is....."

"The origin of the world?"

"How can there be so many?!"

Hong Xiao's mouth opened slightly, and after being bathed in the primordial energy of heaven and earth, her originally somewhat illusory figure gradually solidified.

Then, the deep red longsword standing on the incense burner emitted a very bright red light.

It greedily absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that filled the attic.

With the blessing of such abundant world origin.

The cracks on the Immortal Trapping Sword were visibly repaired and perfected, and even the Netherworld Curse Mark that had previously covered the blade showed signs of fading.

"We'll talk about these things later. Let me help you stabilize your soul first."

After saying that, Xiao Jue turned around and came behind Hong. With a light tap of her lotus fingers, she injected the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the pavilion into Hong's body.

"Little Sister Jue, how come you have the aura of a fairy sister on you? Have you already met her?"

"No...it's not your aura..."

"Could it be that?"

At this point, Hong also looked at the white-haired boy standing to the side with his arms crossed with a strange expression.

"He is the current...master of the Immortal Execution Sword?"

"Concentrate!" Upon hearing Hong's question, Xiao Jue simply uttered two words.

Seeing that Xiao Jue had no intention of explaining, Hong could only suppress the questions in her heart.

.........

Two hours later.

Xiao Jue finally managed to channel all the spiritual energy released by Li Jie into the body of the Immortal Trapping Sword.

Seeing that Hong's soul had been completely stabilized, Xiao Jue slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's alright now. It will recover after a period of gentle care."

"Sister Jue, who is he...?"

Just as Xiao Jue was helping Hong stabilize her soul, Li Jie, who was extremely bored, had already fallen asleep leaning against the broken window frame.

The moment the treatment ended, Hong pointed to Li Jie, who was sleeping soundly, and asked Xiao Jue behind her.

This person... looks really quite ordinary...

"What's your background? You've really stumped me. I guess only Fairy Sister can explain these things to you."

Upon hearing the question, Xiao Jue smiled.

Seeing this scene, she vaguely recalled the scene when she first met Li Jie in the Northern Border.

Back then... I must have had just as many questions in my mind as Hong...

"So how exactly did he become the master of the Immortal Execution Sword?"

"I can't answer that either."

"Why? You clearly have the aura of your natal flying sword on you."

"You sensed it?"

"Of course! Otherwise, how could I sense the fairy sister's aura through your soul?"

"Hmm... at first I think I was tricked by Fairy Sister, but now it seems... it's not so bad after all?"

"what?"

"........."

Just as the two women were chatting hand in hand, a warm breeze woke up the sleeping Li Jie.

"Um...."

Strange, how did I fall asleep?

Is it because I've been too tired lately?

After calming down a bit, Li Jie wiped his face a couple of times, then got up to check on the recovery status of the Immortal-Trapping Sword.

When he discovered the two women holding hands and whispering to each other.

They were stunned on the spot.

It seems like I've seen this scene somewhere before...

Seeing Li Jie wake up, Xiao Jue smiled, stood up, walked to Li Jie's side, and took his arm.

"Thank you, Brother Li Jie, otherwise... I might have lost a good friend."

Don't say it, really don't say it.

When Xiao Jue acts cute, it's really hard to resist.

Li Jie shuddered and gave an awkward smile.

"Xiao Jue... let's just be normal, no need to be so mushy..."

"profound...."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jue stuck out her slightly red tongue and looked shyly at Hong, who was standing to the side.

“Sister Hong, if you don’t know what to do, just come with us. This place is indeed not very suitable for nurturing sword energy.”

"This city is far too barren."

"But....."

"No buts, let me tell you, he has something good, come with us and you'll be satisfied!"

"All right...."

Li Jie found this scene somewhat amusing.

Even if Xiao Jue didn't say a word to persuade him, Li Jie would have a hundred ways to take away the Immortal-Trapping Sword, whose power was almost completely dissipated.

In any case, it's definitely impossible to leave this immortal sword here anymore.

Since there was a first deity who came to our door, there will surely be a second and a third.

Even the Legend of Sword and Fairy will eventually reach a point where it can't hold on any longer.

However, Li Jie is happy with the current outcome.

"Let's go, we still have to rush to the South China Sea."

After saying that, Li Jie shook the sandalwood gourd in his hand, signaling Xiao Jue to put Hong into the gourd.

Seeing this, Xiao Jue also gently reminded him.

"Relax, I'll take you away."

Hong had complete trust in Xiao Jue and released her self-defense restriction without the slightest hesitation.

Immediately afterwards, a strong suction force emanated from the spout of the pot, instantly drawing the two gleaming immortal swords into the space.

Li Jie hung the gourd on his waist with satisfaction, and with a flick of his finger, a long sword made of water vapor took shape.

It seems... this trip to Western Xinjiang went quite smoothly...
