Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws Chapter 2237 Mural In The Cave, Jiufang Tribe's Duty, Heaven Divide Sword Sword Intent

Chapter 2237 Mural In The Cave, Jiufang Tribe's Duty, Heaven Divide Sword Sword Intent

"Oh, Tribe Leader, they have the Sacred Relic!" a man said while Chu Kuangren and the Jiufang Tribe Leader were conversing.
The Jiufang Tribe Leader was shocked.
"You have the Sacred Relic?"
Chu Kuangren glanced at Nuwa.
Nuwa nodded tacitly and took out the Creation Crystal. "Is this the Sacred Relic you're referring to?"
"It really is the Sacred Relic!"
The Jiufang Tribe Leader was shocked to see the Creation Crystal.
Then, he got up and said, "Please, this way."
He brought Chu Kuangren and Nuwa to a cave within the tribe.
The interior of the cave was covered with murals.
There were gods, devils, deities, buddhas, and all kinds of mythical beasts on the wall.
The biggest piece of the mural was a man standing on an altar. Around the man were the aforementioned figures, kneeling before him.
Different kinds of beings worshiped the man in the center as if he were the superior god, the existence that ruled over all.
"The Human Ancestor, Jiufang Shi."
Chu Kuangren looked at the man on the mural and had his own guesses.
"It's indeed the Human Ancestor."
The Jiufang Tribe Leader nodded. "However, Jiufang Shi is just a name for him. He has other names like Youcao, Long Shi, and so on. He created humans and taught us everything, like language, words, and the ways of cultivation. It is his knowledge that made humans one of the strongest civilizations in the Infiniverse."
The Jiufang Tribe Leader looked sentimental as he stared at the mural. He had never seen the Human Ancestor before, but the legends were passed down through generations.
He respected and revered the Human Ancestor from the bottom of his heart.
"However, the Human Ancestor disappeared one day," the Jiufang Tribe Leader said.
He pointed at another mural and added, "Before he disappeared, he left behind nine Sacred Relics. Legend has it that one must find all nine Sacred Relics to find him."
In the second mural, the Human Ancestor gathered mystical items across the universe and created nine treasures.
One of them was the Creation Crystal.
The other eight treasures were all in different shapes and sizes.
"This should be the Nine Humanity Treasures," Chu Kuangren thought.
There were many legends surrounding the Nine Humanity Treasures. The most recognized one was that collecting all nine of the treasures could acquire the Human Ancestor's inheritance.
However, no one had been able to collect them all for as long as the legend existed.
"No wonder the Jiufang Tribe was excited to see the Creation Crystal. To them, the Nine Humanity Treasures are the Sacred Relics of the human race, and the owner of the Sacred Relic is like the emissary of the Human Ancestor."
Realization struck as Chu Kuangren looked at Nuwa.
Then, he continued to look at the mural.
He realized the Human Ancestor wielded a sword in the mural, and it was carved from a crystal.
Even though it was in mural form, it gave Chu Kuangren an ancient feeling. It was as if it was the first sword that ever existed in that form.
All swords in the Infiniverse came after it.
It was strange but exceptionally real.
"Do you know anything about that sword?"
"That is the Human Ancestor's sword. It was said that this sword existed before the concept of the sword existed in the Infiniverse. It gave birth to all concepts of swords and can be considered the first sword in the Infiniverse," the Jiufang Tribe Leader explained.
"I see."
No wonder it felt ancient.
Chu Kuangren noticed that the Human Ancestor wielded the sword in the mural until he crafted the Nine Humanity Treasures.
The sword then disappeared, but there were no records about how it went missing.
He had a hunch about it.
The sword disappeared when the Nine Humanity Treasures were crafted.
Could it be that the sword was broken down into the Nine Humanity Treasures?
It was just a wild guess, but it was likely.
"Has the Jiufang Tribe been here the whole time? Have you guys never gone out before?" Chu Kuangren asked.
"Yes."
"Strange. The Great Hongmeng Universe resets every era. How did you guys survive the rest?"
Chu Kuangren was intrigued.
When the Great Hongmeng Universe resets, everything in the universe is destroyed and reborn.
Even a Monarch-class force would have to temporarily leave the Great Hongmeng Universe.
How did the Jiufang Tribe survive the reset?
"It's because we have the Human Ancestor's protection."
The Jiufang Tribe Leader then brought the two of them deeper into the cave.
There was an altar, and on top of the altar was a golden sword surrounded by Immortal Sparks.
Chu Kuangren's eyes glimmered. "One of the Nine Humanity Treasures!"
The sword was one of the Nine Humanity Treasures on the mural!
"That's right. This sword is one of the Nine Humanity Treasures, the Heaven Divide Sword. The Jiufang Tribe exists to protect it, and with the Human Ancestor's power in it, it protects us from elimination during each reset.
"Our tribe's legend stated that one day, an emissary of the Human Ancestor will come with the Sacred Relic and retrieve the sword.
"That is why I brought the two of you here. If you can take the sword away, our tribe will complete its duty, and we won't have to stay in the Nine Ways Spirit World anymore," the tribe leader explained.
No wonder the tribe leader was so honest with Chu Kuangren.
He was hoping that the two of them could take the sword away because they were the only ones who arrived with a Sacred Relic.
"Interesting."
Chu Kuangren looked at the Heaven Divide Sword. The sword was surrounded by matchless sword intent, and it was rejecting everyone.
Anyone who approached it would be attacked.
"Sect Leader, can I try?" Nuwa said.
She had the Creation Crystal and was also the emissary of the Human Ancestor, as the tribe leader said. If the tribe leader was correct, she should be able to pull the sword out.
"Sure. Be careful."
"I will."
Nuwa walked up to the altar.
However, before she got close to the Heaven Divide Sword, the sword intent around the sword grew restless and pressured Nuwa.
Her legs turned weak, and she almost fell on her knees.
She took the Creation Crystal out to counter the sword intent, but it was not much use.
The sword intent only grew stronger.
"Not even the Human Ancestor can take the sword away?"
The Jiufang Tribe Leader looked disappointed. The Jiufang Tribe had stayed in Nine Ways Spirit World for far too long because of their duty.
They were fed up with being trapped.
"Nuwa, come down first," Chu Kuangren said.
He could see that she was at her limit. She could not even get up to the altar, let alone take the sword out.
Nuwa said helplessly, "I'm sorry to disappoint, Sect Leader."
"Sigh. I wonder how long more must the Jiufang Tribe stay here," the Jiufang Tribe Leader exclaimed.
"Let me have a go," Chu Kuangren said.
He then approached the Heaven Divide Sword.
The Jiufang Tribe Leader did not have high hopes for it. If even Nuwa could not approach the Heaven Divide Sword with the Creation Crystal, Chu Kuangren would have less of a chance.
Then, a vigorous sword intent erupted and filled the entire cave.
The Jiufang Tribe Leader was so frightened that he almost knelt on the ground.
His eyes widened in shock. "What a terrifying sword intent!"
As Chu Kuangren approached the altar, he chose to fight the sword with his own sword intent.
The clash of two different sword intents was astonishing.
