Chapter 62: Space-Time Disorder? Two Thousand Years Ago?

"Huh? I died?"

Jiang Xun's head was buzzing.

The scene before his eyes gradually turned pitch black.

"Damn it!"

The next moment, Jiang Xun opened his eyes abruptly; he was in his own room.

At this moment, Jiang Xun was drenched in sweat, gasping for air incessantly, nearly unable to catch his breath.

He could be certain that the scene just now was definitely not as simple as just a dream.

Everything was too real.

Even the feeling of death was exceptionally clear.

He was, after all, someone who had walked through the gates of hell under a Heavenly Tribulation; he would never mistake the feeling of death.

The innocent Si Yuyan, the real Jun Tianling, the Consciousness Sea filled with black energy, the severely injured female body, the identical ring and Soul-Suppressor.

"Are you having another fit in the middle of the night?... Why did you take out Soul-Suppressor?"

The voice of "Jun Tianling" rang out by Jiang Xun's ear.

Hearing this, Jiang Xun glanced at his hand and only then discovered he was holding Soul-Suppressor.

The hilt of Soul-Suppressor was emitting an eerie glow; Jiang Xun looked closely and discovered that the glowing part looked like a small Formation.

Jiang Xun had never seen this Formation before; although small, it was extremely complex.

"Did my body move just now?"

Jiang Xun asked.

"No, you just suddenly sat up and gasped for air."

Jun Tianling shook his head, not forgetting to mock him: "Old people sure have a lot of dreams, huh."

"Do you remember Tianling City?"

Jiang Xun ignored Jun Tianling's teasing and asked, recalling the Tianling City he had dreamt of last time.

"Tianling City? I don't know."

Jun Tianling thought for a moment, then said.

"Then, how far has your memory recovered? What have you remembered?"

"None of your business?"

"It's important, tell me."

Jun Tianling sensed Jiang Xun's seriousness, paused slightly, and then said: "A bit of this and that—about cultivation techniques, about Soul-Suppressor, about the treasure vault, and some unimportant things about daily life."

"What exactly is it about Soul-Suppressor?" Jiang Xun asked.

"Soul-Suppressor is a Saint Grade Dharma Artifact. I must have used a lot of Spirit Stones and Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure to feed it, feeding it to almost its limit. As for its origin, I haven't remembered that yet, but it should have an Artifact Spirit."

Dharma Artifacts are divided into Mortal-Grade, Spirit Grade, Treasure Grade, Saint Grade, and God Grade.

Mortal-Grade is just scrap metal used by ordinary people.

Spirit Grade is a Dharma Artifact that can be infused with Spirit Energy to increase its power, used by average cultivators.

Treasure Grade is relatively rare; it can be infused with Spirit Energy and nourished with Spirit Stones. The better it is nurtured, the greater its power, but it has a limit.

Saint Grade is extremely rare; infusing it with Spirit Energy and nourishing it with Spirit Stones is basic, and one can also cultivate an Artifact Spirit and possess special abilities.

The formation of an Artifact Spirit can be:

Formed naturally after the infusion of vast resources; this kind of Artifact Spirit is relatively dull, only able to assist slightly in battle.

Forcing a cultivator's soul into the sword to become an Artifact Spirit; in essence, they are still an independent person. This person becomes the sword and can also control the sword. The stronger the person who is captured or who voluntarily becomes an Artifact Spirit, the greater the role the sword naturally plays.

Then there is Soul Casting with a Soul Casting Pill. After the Soul Casting Pill is struck into the sword, it gathers Spirit Energy from heaven and earth to form an Artifact Spirit that perfectly matches the sword. It can completely become one with the sword, is absolutely loyal, and if it cultivates a physical body, it can also hold the sword and enter battle when necessary.

Once there is an Artifact Spirit, the expenditure of Spirit Stones and Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure will be even greater.

As for special abilities, the abilities of different Saint Grade Dharma Artifacts also vary.

For example: amplifying the power of spells, using elemental skills outside the user's Spirit Root, the sword body freely expanding and contracting, splitting the heavens with one sword, controlling fire, controlling lightning, slicing through the void, etc.

The existence of God Grade Dharma Artifacts is very, very, very rare. In addition to including the infusion of Spirit Energy, nourishment with Spirit Stones, cultivation of an Artifact Spirit, and special abilities, they also possess the power to destroy the world and control order.

If the power of order is disturbed, it may lead to catastrophic consequences such as stars falling, the earth cracking, and space-time disorder.

"Space-time disorder?"

Thinking about the information on each quality of Dharma Artifact in his mind, these four words burrowed into Jiang Xun's brain, giving him goosebumps.

Could it be that this Soul-Suppressor is a God Grade Dharma Artifact, and the scene he experienced just now was what is called space-time disorder?

Also, at that time, that Si Yuyan, although very anxious on the side, did not touch his body.

Seeing his wounds tearing, she had the motion to come up and support him, but her hand ultimately did not reach out.

He was a woman at that time, and Si Yuyan was also a woman; it was impossible for the "men and women should not touch" rule to apply.

There was only one possibility: Si Yuyan is the Artifact Spirit.

The Artifact Spirit of Soul-Suppressor.

She had no physical body and could not touch Jiang Xun's body at that time.

Including the one currently in the Liu Hong Sword, it must be Si Yuyan!

The reason why he recognized Soul-Suppressor as his master back then and the Artifact Spirit of Soul-Suppressor did not react at all was because the Artifact Spirit of Soul-Suppressor, Si Yuyan, was already in the Liu Hong Sword at that moment.

Combined with the system prompt: 【Ding, detected SSS-rank Daughter of Luck Si Yuyan!】

Then, Si Yuyan must be a cultivator who voluntarily became an Artifact Spirit.

As for the body of Si Yuyan currently in Jiang Xun's space, it should be a body cultivated later.

Then, he was not dreaming just now, but had returned to who knows how many years ago.

At that time, Jun Tianling was not yet the Demon Venerable, had not reached the Great Vehicle Realm, and Si Yuyan did not yet have a physical body.

Calculating it this way, it was at least one thousand eight hundred years ago...

One thousand years ago the Void Sect was destroyed, and one thousand eight hundred years ago the Void Sect was founded.

"Do you still remember your memories from when you were in the Integration Realm?"

Although Jiang Xun already had a rough conjecture in his heart, he still had to treat the Si Yuyan before him as Jun Tianling to ask.

After all, from the current perspective, this Si Yuyan possessed Jun Tianling's memories and completely regarded herself as Jun Tianling.

"How would I remember that? Not to mention that my memories are incomplete right now, even if I had all my memories, I wouldn't bother remembering such distant matters."

Jun Tianling laughed.

"It seems asking you is useless."

Jiang Xun sighed, and the glowing Formation on Soul Suppressor also gradually dimmed, finally returning to its normal color.

At the same time...

Two thousand years ago...

In a certain cave.

"Tianling? How are you? Are you alright?"

Si Yuyan looked at Jun Tianling, who was slowly opening her eyes, and asked with a face full of worry.

"Return."

Jun Tianling did not say much and raised the Soul Suppressor in her hand.

Although Si Yuyan did not want to, she still obediently returned into the sword.

"Cough... cough cough..."

Jun Tianling then coughed violently, spat out a large mouthful of blood, hurriedly propped herself up against the stone wall to sit, took out a few medicinal pills and swallowed them, then began to circulate her energy to heal her wounds.

One hour later, Jun Tianling's complexion improved significantly.

"A Sword Saint is truly formidable..."

Jun Tianling looked at the outside of the cave with an ugly expression.

She had come to Tianling City to challenge the Sword Saint of Tianling City across realms in order to seize the Supreme Position.

Although she had severely wounded that Saint, she herself had also exhausted all her Spirit Power and was hanging by a thread; it was Si Yuyan who had controlled Soul Suppressor to carry her out of Tianling City and hide in this cave.
