Chapter 1022: Chapter 889 Is It Really the Blood Prison Sword? Chapter 1022: Chapter 889 Is It Really the Blood Prison Sword? “Lin Yun?” Shan Black, the Ghost Practitioner, turned his head to look at Lin Yun, quickly realizing that this was the person the Heavenly Principle Tower spirit was referring to.
At the same time, Shan Black also recognized who Lin Yun was. After all, not every Cultivator could make it to the higher floors of the Heavenly Principle Tower, and not every Cultivator that managed to reach its space could force it out. Lin Yun was the most recent one to traverse the higher levels of the Heavenly Principle Tower and managed to summon it; how could it not recognize him?
“What? This person has already broken through to the Saint Lord Realm?” However, in the next moment, Shan Black’s body trembled, and he felt extremely shocked.
How long has it been?
Just a few years, right?
A few years ago when he first saw Lin Yun, Lin Yun hadn’t reached the Super Realm yet, had he?
In just a few years’ time, to go from an ordinary Cultivator to the Saint Lord Realm? What kind of cultivation speed was this?
“Could it be… this person is the reincarnation of our master?” Just then, Shan Black suddenly thought of a possibility, causing his body to tremble once more as he contemplated.
One must know that the purpose of the Heavenly Principle Tower spirit leading them to this universe was to look for the reincarnation of their master…
The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed. Otherwise, how could Lin Yun cultivate so quickly?
This was beyond simply describing as ‘terrifying’!
If this person was indeed the reincarnation of their master, everything would make sense!
Their master in their previous life was an incredibly formidable genius and had even cultivated to the very pinnacle of the Saint King Realm. Now with the memories awakening and starting from Super Realm and Saint Lord Realm again, wouldn’t it be a piece of cake?
“Shan Black has seen the master! Earlier I inadvertently offended the master’s royal might, please forgive me,” Shan Black thought and hurriedly knelt on one knee to Lin Yun, saying anxiously.
Although, in his previous life, he had followed his master from early on and fought across the lands, fostering a good relationship, their master had perished and had been reincarnating for hundreds of millions of years.
Who knew what their master had experienced during these hundreds of millions of years or what kind of temperament he had now?
Moreover, he was originally a subordinate of the master. Therefore, at this moment, he did not dare to overstep, and his heart was filled with trepidation.
Could it be that the Tower Lord had sent him here because he offended the master earlier?
He pondered in his heart.
“…”
All these thoughts, though complex, were just an instant’s speculation of Shan Black, the Ghost Practitioner. Seeing Shan Black treating Lin Yun this way upon arrival, everyone else was also bewildered.
This Shan Black Ghost Practitioner is actually calling Lin Yun the master? Was it possible that Lin Yun had subjugated the other party at some point?
In an instant, everyone couldn’t help but entertain this idea.
However, soon after, Lin Yun, the True Martial Saint Lord, and the Heavenly Principle Tower spirit all sensed Shan Black’s train of thought and were left speechless by the misunderstanding.
The Heavenly Principle Tower spirit frowned deeply and said in a heavy voice, “Shan Black, who told you that Lin Yun is the reincarnation of our master?”
It was utterly devoted to the thoughts of their master, as could be seen from its billions of years of longing to find their master’s reincarnated self.
Now, seeing Shan Black mistakenly recognizing someone else as the master naturally didn’t feel right.
“Err, he isn’t the master…?” Shan Black was startled.
“Naturally, he is not!” the Heavenly Principle Tower spirit said sternly.
“I had you come here to ask about that time you claimed the sword in Lin Yun’s hand was the Blood Prison Sword. Why did you say that his sword was the Blood Prison Sword? And where had you seen the Blood Prison Sword before?” After a pause, the Heavenly Principle Tower spirit inquired.
Having just mistaken their master, Shan Black’s heart was filled with fear.
Now, he also paid attention to the fact that the Heavenly Principle Tower spirit did not show much respect when addressing Lin Yun, which was very contrary to the spirit’s character.
Just then, as he heard what the Heavenly Principle Tower spirit said, his pupils narrowed slightly, and his gaze shifted back to the Bloodthirsty Sword in Lin Yun’s hand, causing his heart to skip a beat.
Previously, he had only been dealing with the Heavenly Principle Tower spirit and the others. Although he had noticed the Bloodthirsty Sword in Lin Yun’s hand, he hadn’t looked closely. On closer inspection now, a familiar sensation surged within him once more.
“This sword’s presence… it’s far stronger than when I last saw it… and it also resembles the Blood Prison Sword I’ve seen before… could it really be the Blood Prison Sword? No… impossible… it can’t be the Blood Prison Sword… the Blood Prison Sword couldn’t possibly be here…” Shan Black thought in shock.
“My Lord, this sword, I only felt it resembled the Blood Prison Sword I’ve seen before, but it might not be the Blood Prison Sword…” Having thought this, Shan Black respectfully bowed to the Heavenly Principle Tower spirit and seriously explained.
“No matter, first tell us the origin of that Blood Prison Sword!” The Heavenly Principle Tower spirit waved its little hand and said.
“The Blood Prison Sword is the signature weapon of a peerless powerhouse from the Netherworld…” Shan Black recounted, his expression revealing a mix of shock and admiration as he told the story of that extraordinary powerhouse.
“Blood Emperor, one of the Nine Emperors of the Netherworld, consecutively shattered the new Eightfold Heavens of the Netherworld…” As he listened to Shan Black, the True Martial Saint Lord’s face was filled with amazement.
He had only heard the Grand Master Taoist Ancestor mention once that the Netherworld, just like ordinary universes, also possessed successive layers of space. Shattering each layer meant the environment would grow much more formidable.
As to whether shattering the new layers of the Netherworld was as challenging as in ordinary universes, even the Grand Master Taoist Ancestor wasn’t too clear, but it was presumed to be difficult since countless spirits of the great outer worlds, including several universes which had shattered eighty-one layers, existed, whereas the universe controlling the reincarnation of spirits, the Netherworld, had only shattered up to thirty-six layers.
