“Apart from the skeleton, did you discover anything else?” Jian Chen asked.
“Besides the skeleton was a metre-tall stone tablet. The stone tablet was engraved with some strange glyphs. In the beginning, I could not understand these glyphs, but I managed to understand some of them when the senses of my soul came into contact with the stone tablet.”
“The glyphs were probably left behind by the old senior before he died. It detailed some matters regarding his life. Oh right, master. This senior seems to be called the Nine Limits Saint,” said Jing Mumu.
“The Nine Limits Saint?” Jian Chen murmured. He was very unfamiliar with this name.
However, the title of Saint existed in ancient aeons such as the era that the Primeval Divine Hall originated from.
During that era, the Grand Exalts of the current day were referred to as Saints!
“Primeval artifact spirit, do you know about the Nine Limits Saint?” Jian Chen asked.
“The Nine Limits Saint? I haven’t heard of him before. Is he the owner of these remnants?” The Primeval artifact spirit shook his head without any hesitation. He paused for a moment before continuing, “Master, according to the ancient presence lingering on the remnants of this Saint, the era that it is from should be even more ancient than the era my old master resided in.”
“Logically speaking, under the erosion of time, even the remnants of Saints cannot last until now, yet the world within the remnants in master’s hand remains perfectly intact even to this day. As such, that Saint must have been extremely powerful.”
“Oh right. Master, the stone tablet also mentioned that the vast world I entered was actually created from this senior’s right arm. I also discovered that this senior’s remains were indeed missing a right arm.”
“This senior severed his right arm because he encountered an expert so powerful that it completely surpassed the limits of his understanding. He was overcome with severe defeat, which was why he crippled his right arm and refined the arm into a world, spending the rest of his life alone in there.”
Reaching there, Jing Mumu also became slightly dazed and amazed. “The senior was an extremely, extremely powerful expert. He said he was already invincible with nine ways comprehended to the limit. He was without any opponents.”
“What? Nine ways comprehended to the limit?” Jian Chen was startled. Due to her limited strength, Jing Mumu obviously did not understand such a concept, but Jian Chen was different. He understood the significance all too well.
Comprehending a way to the limit meant reaching the very end of a way. In the current age, that was already enough to become a Grand Exalt, standing lofty and above all as an undisputed sovereign of a world!
Even across a major world, there were only a handful of such figures.
Meanwhile, the Nine Limits Saint had actually managed to grasp nine ways to their limit, which was quite astounding.
“Nine ways comprehended to the limit? How is that possible? Is the Nine Limits Saint really that powerful?” Even the artifact spirit of the Primeval Divine Hall was shocked. It blanked out as if it was in disbelief. “Nine ways comprehended to the limit is already enough to become invincible across the six worlds, yet even such a terrifying existence encountered an expert beyond the limits of his knowledge. T-t-that’s just…”
“Mumu, then do you know who the expert that the Nine Limits Saint encountered was?” Jian Chen held back his shock and asked sternly.
Across the six worlds of the current age, a Grand Exalt that grasped nine ways to the limit would already be an unbelievable existence, yet even from the perspective of such an expert, a supreme expert beyond his understanding still managed to appear. They even left the Nine Limits Saint with a sense of defeat where he ended up locking himself up in a miniature world for the rest of his life.
He struggled to imagine just how powerful that expert needed to be to send an expert like the Nine Limits Saint into depression.
Jing Mumu recalled what she had learned carefully. “He seems to be called some Martial Soul Saint or something. The Martial Soul Saint seems to be extremely, extremely powerful. From what senior Nine Limits Saint left behind on the stone tablet, he was defeated in a single strike by the Martial Soul Saint. If it were not for the fact that the Martial Soul Saint had no intentions of killing him, he would have perished from that strike alone.”
“That was why senior Nine Limits Saint entered a depressive spiral.”
Jian Chen was completely stunned. The words Martial Soul Saint erupted in his head like a bombshell, leaving him temporarily dazed.
He was extremely certain that the Martial Soul Saint must have been the Grand Exalt that appeared in the history of the Martial Soul lineage.
Perhaps names would be shared and repeated throughout the ages, but it was very difficult for such battle prowess to be replicated.
Apart from the Grand Exalt that had appeared in the history of the Martial Soul lineage, who else possessed such impossible strength?
“Even the Nine Limits Saint who had comprehended nine ways to the limit was unable to withstand a strike from the Martial Soul Grand Exalt. The Martial Soul Grand Exalt was actually this powerful.” Jian Chen was utterly shocked. The information he had learnt today had completely overturned his understanding of the Martial Soul Grand Exalt.
The origins of the Nine Limits Saint were frighteningly ancient as well. He actually came from the same era as the Martial Soul Grand Exalt.
In particular, the legacy he left behind had actually survived who knew how many aeons until this day. In the end, Jing Mumu who possessed the Sword Constitution of Soul Connection encountered it. The destiny involved was nothing but wondrous.
“Master, the Nine Limits Saint also left behind a legacy on the stone tablet. He said that this legacy can only be activated by those who possess the Sword Constitution of Soul Connection. However, my strength is not enough right now because activating the legacy requires a cultivation of Golden Immortal at the very least,” Jing Mumu said seriously. Afterwards, she glanced at Jian Chen timidly and said, “Master, what do I do? Do I take the legacy or not?”
Jian Chen sucked in a deep breath and slowly calmed himself. He tapped Jing Mumu’s forehead gently and said, “Why wouldn’t you take such a powerful legacy? A legacy from the Nine Limits Saint is far more powerful than what I can provide to you.”
Jing Mumu was elated. “Master, once I obtain senior Nine Limits Saint’s legacy, I’ll offer it to you.”
“My dear disciple, this is your fortune. You don’t need to offer it to anyone. And, if I’ve deduced correctly, the Nine Limits Saint probably also possessed the Sword Constitution of Soul Connection, so his legacy is obviously only suited to those who also possess the Sword Constitution of Soul Connection.”
“However, your priority right now is to increase your personal strength first. Yeah… actually, it would not be a good idea for you to reach Golden Immortal prematurely. I’ll collect some heavenly resources that can consolidate your foundation for now. I’ll help you build a solid base before you reach Golden Immortal.”
“On top of that, your character also requires tempering.”
“The best way to temper your character is for you to go out roaming by yourself. With that, you can personally experience the dangers of the world or even the betrayal of close friends. During this time, I won’t be by your side. Even your grandpa won’t be there to protect you.”
When he reached there, Jian Chen said, “Mumu, have you grasped the sword techniques that I taught you a few days ago?”
“Master, I’ve basically grasped them all,” Jing Mumu said before demonstrating the Daluo Sword, the Linear Lightning Release, and the other sword technique in front of Jian Chen.
However, to Jian Chen’s surprise, the power of these sword techniques all increased when Jing Mumu used them. She was actually able to erupt with a hundred and twenty percent of their power.
“It truly is the Sword Constitution of Soul Connection. With a constitution like that, any sword technique will perform extraordinarily in her hands.” Jian Chen was secretly amazed. He discovered that not only were the various sword techniques stronger in Jing Mumu’s hand, but she had even demonstrated startling talent when it came to the speed of comprehending these sword techniques.
At this moment, Jian Chen suddenly looked towards the entrance of the courtyard. His lips curled into a sneer as he said to himself, “Have they finally come?”
In the next moment, Jing Feng ran over from the distance in a hurry. He was extremely stern, clasping his fist towards Jian Chen. “Senior, the person outside claims to be a great elder of the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment. He has specially come to visit you, senior.”
