Chapter 262: 18: The Opportunity that Belongs to Zhao Huai

Everyone was gathered around the body of the fallen Sword-wielder, including the silent Zhao Huai.

“Husband…”

Yu Qinghan noticed Zhao Huai’s expression, feeling the guilt in his heart, and couldn’t help but hold his hand tighter.

Zhao Huai showed a relieved smile and then walked towards the elder’s body.

The old man lay quietly on the ground, and the spiritual grass in the mud around him emitted faint light, as if praying for him.

When Zhao Huai approached the elder, the surrounding disciples spontaneously made way for him.

The inner and outer sect disciples of Limitless Immortal Sect looked at them with awe.

This was the gaze reserved for the strong.

Zhao Huai had formed an eighth-grade Golden Core, becoming a legend of the age, and defeated the First Genius of the Devil Sect, Situ Huan, creating history.

He was destined to be famous in the Immortal Cultivation World.

Zhao Huai arrived in front of the Sword-wielder, slightly clenched his fist, and solemnly said:

“Senior, rest assured, I will inherit this sword skill will for you, and thank you for your guidance!”

After speaking, Zhao Huai bowed again as a sign of respect.

Breaking through in sword skill was also due to the elder’s earth-shattering sword.

A bow couldn’t be considered too much in this case.

Just then, there was a swift sound.

An afterimage flickered at the elder’s waist.

An indistinct object came into Zhao Huai’s hand.

Upon closer inspection, he could see what was in his hand.

A gourd.

It was green in color and relatively large in size, about the size of two fists. A string was attached to the gourd, making it easy to carry.

“What is this…?”

Zhao Huai didn’t know what it was and looked puzzled.

“This is the Sword-Nurturing Gourd.”

A distant voice came from behind.

It was Elder Bai who came over, glanced at Zhao Huai, and explained with satisfaction:

“Each Sword-wielder has a Sword-Nurturing Gourd, which is a container specifically designed to nurture life-bound flying swords. The gourd is filled with a spiritual fluid that nourishes the flying sword. Sword-Nurturing Gourds are also graded by quality. This gourd in your sight is made from a waterfall gourd, which comes from the universal treasure—waterfall gourd vine. This gourd is taken from it.”

“Strictly speaking, this Sword-Nurturing Gourd can also be considered a high-quality universal treasure since the waterfall gourd vine is a naturally grown spiritual object and ranks among the top hundred in the universe.”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Huai nodded, understanding the purpose of the gourd.

The Sword-Nurturing Gourd was a container specially used for nurturing swords. The life-bound flying sword stored inside would become stronger and stronger.

Just like his [Sword Cultivator] destiny.

If the sword was well-nourished, it would become extremely powerful, capable of breaking other magic weapons and possessing incredible power. If nurtured well, it could even birth a true sword spirit.

The true sword spirit was the awakened consciousness of the life-bound flying sword.

An awakened true sword spirit not only would be powerful but also would obey the command of the sword cultivator and fight autonomously.

The Sword-Nurturing Gourd belonged to the deceased Sword-wielder and was undoubtedly precious.

Elder Bai looked at Zhao Huai and smiled, “Now that the Sword-Nurturing

Gourd has recognized you as its master, just accept it.”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Huai frowned and said, “How can I? The elder sacrificed himself for the Immortal Sect, and part of the reason he died was because of me. How can I take his belongings?

Taking the elder’s belongings would only add to his guilt since he already felt indebted to the elder.

“Accept it. This is your destiny.”

But Elder Bai shook his head, looking serious.

“My destiny?”

“Indeed, everyone who comes to Spiritual Mountain will receive their own destiny, more or less, valuable or ordinary. It is undeniable that Spiritual Mountain’s Blessed Land is fair to everyone.”

“As the Crown Prince, since the Sword-Nurturing Gourd has recognized you as its master, there must be a reason. This is your destiny, and no one can take it away.”

Elder Bai explained solemnly.

Zhao Huai nodded upon hearing this, and stopped speaking.

He held the Sword-Nurturing Gourd tightly, and bowed again to the deceased Sword-wielder on the ground.

Seeing Zhao Huai accept it, Elder Bai also breathed a sigh of relief.

This time, the Devil Sect came with great momentum. If it wasn’t for Zhao Huai’s presence, the younger generation of Limitless Immortal Sect might have fallen into the hands of Demonbred Situ Huan.

This Sword-Nurturing Gourd was a gift from the Limitless Immortal Sect to him.

“Zi Yun, Chen Jianshu, both of you should rest well and recover. You’ve worked hard in this battle. And you, Gu Tianji, you have made a great contribution this time. The Limitless Immortal Sect is not an ungrateful sect; I will help Eternal

Taoist Temple apply for a spot in the sword pavilion.”

Elder Bai passed on the message to everyone, giving the arrangements.

“Yes!”

Zi Yun and Chen Jianshu received the order and bowed slightly.

At the same time, Zhao Huai returned the purple spiritual sword to Zi Yun.

Gu Tianji’s face, although still pale, revealed a brilliant smile, “I don’t need the spot in the Sword Pavilion either, just give me a ten -thousand-year flood dragon gall, and we’re good.”

Faced with Gu Tianji’s request, Elder Bai’s eyes narrowed, and he secretly clenched his teeth.

This guy was still as hard to deal with as ever.

If he hadn’t helped the Limitless Immortal Sect, he would have driven him out long ago!

However, Zhao Huai gave an embarrassed smile.

Gu Tianji was indeed a good friend, even at this time he didn’t forget about the matter.

Now, the construction of his sword still required a sword soul, and the gall of a ten-thousand-year flood dragon was extremely important for the casting of his life-bound flying sword.

Elder Bai immediately refused, saying, “No. Now that Hierarch Hai has merged with the Kind Corpse, the overall seal has weakened a lot. At this time, it is absolutely impossible to move the Illusory Southern Sea..”
