Chapter 717: The Flame Continues
Chapter 717: The Flame Continues
Inside Taixu Gate.
A cup of tea with wisps of hot steam was placed quietly in front of An Ming. Hua sat down opposite him, the ripples in his eyes had not yet subsided.
Every word of An Ming's previous words was extremely clear, yet weighed a thousand pounds...I thought it was just the traveler's experience, but I never expected it to be about the future of the universe.
If everything An Ming said was true, then the future it presented was enough to subvert cognition and exceeded the boundaries of Hua's cognition of the world so far.
To Hua, those words were far more unbelievable than the immortal boat that was being built, and she could not bear it for a while.
long silence.
"Why...me?"
Hua raised his eyes, his gaze filled with confusion and a hint of indescribable bewilderment.
She is just the last generation of Taixu Sect. As her life fades away, I am afraid that the inheritance of Taixu will also end with her.
Although I feel guilty about the kindness of my predecessor in teaching me, but...this may be the choice of the times.
"I know someone who looks very similar to you. If it's her... you can trust her," An Ming smiled, believing her just like Han Chen and Su Ming, without the need for any reason.
When he came to Shenzhou, An Ming was deliberately looking for the key character he had known in the Starry Sky Railway - the only one who could possibly appear in the current time period.
China.
If the future Marshal of the Xianzhou Alliance can find her in the current Shenzhou, he can leave behind the most reliable spark.
Because if it is the "Hua" that An Ming is familiar with, the one looking back from the future, then this trust can transcend the ignorance of the moment and point to a clear and tenacious figure in the future.
"How should I trust you?"
Hua actually already believed it halfway, but if he wanted to believe it completely, he would need more time to think about it.
An Ming said nothing. He gently pushed the edge of the steaming teacup with his fingertips, and the teacup moved smoothly about an inch towards Hua.
"Ode——"
A brief sound of breaking through the air suddenly rang out, and a ray of incomparably pure sword intent burst out from An Ming's fingertips.
It was as if an invisible boundary in the void was cut off, and the green tea in the center of the teacup was directly penetrated by a non-existent "line".
The clear tea was precisely divided into two, and the condensed sword intent was suspended in the center of the teacup, maintaining this shocking moment.
"Grand Void Sword Intention?"
There was undisguised surprise in Hua's eyes. That was clearly the sword intent that had long been lost by the Taixu Sect. It was the strongest sword intent that only existed in the scroll, and it contained all the past of the Taixu Sect.
Even she, the last descendant of Taixu, had never comprehended the complete Taixu sword intent and could only practice with the help of the fragments. However, the person in front of her could use the complete Taixu sword intent so effortlessly.
"I need you to carry this sword intent into the future."
An Ming whispered, "And in the future...after we meet again, you have to tell me all this." These words contained a determination that spanned endless time.
"Who are you...?"
"He is just an insignificant traveler," An Ming said with a smile, and then his fingertips condensed the symbol of Taixu Sword Intent with the remaining authority of memory.
As one of the basic authorities that maintain the universe, the power it demonstrates is undoubtedly powerful, and it can even perfectly replicate everything in An Ming's memory.
This cornerstone force that maintains the operation of the universe possesses an authority that is almost paradoxical.
Perhaps this power still has its limits for ordinary people, but for An Ming, an outsider from this universe, there are so many things in his memory that can be replicated.
The Taixu Sword Intent that An Ming replicated did not come from this universe. After all, even he did not know whether the future Hua would have mastered the Taixu Sword Intent. All he did was to bring the Taixu Sword Intent from his memory from another game as a spark.
As for this spark from the "other world", after being held in the hands of Hua of this world, what kind of future it will lead her to...that is not a future that An Ming can foresee.
Hua stared at the phoenix-shaped jade token that fell on her fingertips. It contained an extremely pure Taixu sword intent, which was enough for her to truly comprehend the true inheritance of Taixu Sect.
"The future...how long in the future will it be?" Hua looked at An Ming. The world she knew was only the size of Shenzhou, and the farthest place was only Penglai on the other side.
However, the "future" that An Ming mentioned that she needed to go to was beyond hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of Shenzhous, at the farthest end of the starry sea.
So far away, yet so hard to approach.
That is the other side that Hua's life span could never reach. When time passes to that moment, perhaps she has already turned into a handful of earth, and all that will be left is just the tiny spark passed down through the jade token.
"Maybe it's at the end of time," An Ming knew that it would be an extremely distant future. He stood at the beginning of the timeline and set down the fire at the end of the timeline.
And this fire has only two destinations.
Or it may be extinguished by eternal fate, leaving no trace in the long river of time.
Or it could ignite the spark that is enough to end the end, spanning the beginning and the end of time - the flame will never die!
When the end is about to come, when the long night is about to usher in dawn, the sword intent engraved on the timeline will eventually cut through the sea of stars and return to An Ming's palm.
The spark of hope will surge from its origin in the past towards the predetermined future.
The immortal sword will eventually break the shackles of eternal reincarnation.
"Will this ensure the safety of Shenzhou's future?"
"I don't know, but..." An Ming thought of the immortal boat in his memory and smiled, "But it will definitely be a good future."
Hua's fingertips felt the warm veins of the Phoenix Jade Plate, and the sharpness of the Taixu sword intent was slowly emerging from the palm of his hand, quietly spreading to his limbs and bones like an awakening stream.
A faint crimson tinge quietly spread among the black jade-like hair, just like the legendary phoenix that had achieved nirvana, shedding its old feathers in the burning flames.
Hua raised his eyes and looked at An Ming.
"Are you...leaving?"
An Ming did not answer immediately, but his eyes fell on the Taixu Mountain shrouded in clouds and mist in the distance.
"Before you fully master the Taixu Sword Intent, I will probably stay in Shenzhou for a while." An Ming's lips curled up slightly: "Shenzhou... is beautiful."
Perhaps neither the mountains and rivers of China nor the fairy boats at the other end of the starry sky in the future will ever replace the hometown in memory.
But at least now, I can take a short break on this blue planet that is so similar to my hometown.
