Song Qingruo of the Qionghua Sword Sect had fallen. This was a piece of news that surprised Chen Heng. Although he didn’t have much contact with Song Qingruo, Chen Heng still had a deep and good impression of her.
In his opinion, Song Qingruo was undoubtedly more outstanding than Xiao Han in terms of willpower, Dao determination, and other aspects. Logically speaking, she should be able to achieve better results.
As for Xiao Han, other than the little bit of Destiny in his body, the rest was mediocre. Under normal circumstances, Xiao Han might be able to surpass Song Qingruo for a while by relying on his Destiny, but in the end, he would be surpassed by Song Qingruo.
Unless…
Chen Heng’s heart moved as he thought of a possibility. Then, he used the time to browse forward to feel Xiao Han’s experiences over the years. Then, a look of understanding appeared on Chen Heng’s face.
Sure enough, according to Xiao Han’s experience, after Song Qingruo died, his experience began to take a turn for the worse, falling all the way down.
In the initial few years, Xiao Han could be considered to have been in the limelight. As a disciple of the Qiong Hua Sword sect, he had the favor of Song Qingruo, the daughter of the sect leader, and held the ancient sword that Chen Heng had transformed into. He also had a lot of Destiny, so he was naturally destined to rise.
However, a lot of things happened during this process. Along the way, Xiao Han encountered many dangers and malicious intentions despite his glorious journey.
However, in the first few years, these dangers turned into a further strength for him, allowing him to advance continuously. It even became a fortuitous encounter to a certain extent.
This ability to turn misfortune into fortune and crisis into opportunity made people gasp in admiration. They thought that Xiao Han had a great opportunity and would most likely rise in the future.
Unfortunately, ever since Song Qingruo died, the ability that existed in Xiao Han seemed to have completely disappeared.
His style of doing things had not changed. It was just that the calamities that he could easily overcome in the past had become exceptionally difficult at that time.
Sometimes, even if it were just an ordinary small matter, it would eventually lead to serious consequences.
Not to mention the misfortune that led to good fortune, bad things would turn into good things. Even good things would turn into bad things from time to time.
Seeing this, Chen Heng understood in his heart and immediately understood. Destiny. The problem came from Destiny.
Frankly speaking, Xiao Han himself did not have extraordinary abilities. He did not have a firm will and Dao determination, nor did he have extraordinary talent and comprehension.
The reason why he was able to reach this point was because of his Destiny. However, Destiny was consumable. Once it was used up, it would be depleted.
Xiao Han’s first few years were smooth sailing. No matter what situation he encountered, he would be able to succeed smoothly, just like a person with Destiny.
But what would happen when the Destiny disappeared and depleted? He would immediately fall from his original form and become a mortal.
For a Chosen One, this situation was very serious. It wouldn’t be much of a deal if he were ordinary initially. What’s most frightening was for one at his rise to his peak fell as an ordinary mortal.
Because if that were the case, ignoring his feelings and changes, just the karma from before, would be difficult to bear. Take Xiao Han himself as an example.
Under his Destiny, he had previously obtained many fortuitous encounters, and he had even relied on them to obtain high achievements.
The ancient sword that Chen Heng had transformed into was obtained through fortuitous encounters, and so was his cultivation. Even Song Qingruo’s favor was the same to a large extent.
In obtaining these things, Xiao Han must have also formed a lot of karma.
For example, Huo Changliu, who was in the Sword Tomb, had been looking for an opportunity to attack Xiao Han after that.
Another example was Song Qingruo. As the most outstanding disciple of the Qionghua Sword Sect and the daughter of the Qionghua Sect Master, Song Qingruo had many admirers. Many people coveted Song Qingruo’s innate sword body even in some ancient sacred lands.
Therefore, Xiao Han naturally attracted a lot of attention from the people that admired Song Qingruo.
In addition, Xiao Han had encountered many fortuitous encounters along the way. Naturally, he had made many enemies along the way. He had even personally created many mortal enemies, blocking the path of many people.
These were all karma.
If Xiao Han’s Destiny were still with him before this, he would naturally be fine. Even if he encountered a crisis under the influence of fate, he would still encounter misfortune and become lucky. There wouldn’t be any big problems.
However, when his Destiny weakened, these problems became fatal. The turning point of Xiao Han’s destiny started from there.
Song Qingruo’s death was just a node. To a certain extent, she could be implicated by Xiao Han. Someone had their eyes on the ancient sword in Xiao Han’s hand and other inheritances, so they schemed to attack Xiao Han.
As Xiao Han’s first layer of protection, Song Qingruo was naturally the first to suffer an accident. An accident during a critical moment of her cultivation, Song Qingruo failed and died.
This incident dealt a great blow to Xiao Han. However, even without Song Qingruo’s help, Xiao Han was still a Heavenly Gifted Individual in his current state. He could be said to be extremely dazzling.
However, this was only temporary. After losing his Destiny, he no longer could deal with everything. Under all kinds of crises, he lost his footing and eventually fell to the bottom step by step.
In the end, he lost a lot of things. Not only Song Qingruo but also everything he had in the Qionghua Sword Sect.
In the Qionghua Sword Sect, someone launched a surprise attack. The elders who originally belonged to the Qionghua Sword Sect attacked the Qionghua Sword Master and chased him out of his position as the Master of the Qionghua Sword Sect.
In just one night, the top of the wall had changed. Ever since then, Xiao Han had changed from the absolute core of the Qionghua Sword sect to a thorn in the sect.
After all, to the elders who had just taken the stage, Xiao Han was deeply engraved with the brand of the former sect master. The power of an enemy was not to be let off.
Like that, Xiao Han’s situation within the Qionghua Sword sect continued to change and slowly fell to the bottom. Even people dared to attack Xiao Han in the Qionghua Sword Sect openly.
Xiao Han had no choice but to leave the Qionghua Sword Sect and go far away.
Losing the restraint and protection of the Qionghua Sword sect was both good and bad for Xiao Han.
After that, he made enemies everywhere. The Qionghua Sword sect, which had originally attacked him and regarded him as an enemy, even issued an arrest warrant.
Step by step, he fell and slowly reached his current state. He had no choice but to avoid his enemies and come to this mystic realm in front of him.
In this mystic realm, he also encountered great danger, which led to Chen Heng’s recovery and his awakening from Xiao Han’s hands.
“This is really…”
Chen Heng couldn’t help but shake his head as he browsed through his experiences in Xiao Han’s mind and felt the scenes that Xiao Han had experienced before. He didn’t know what to say.
Was Xiao Han pitiful? He did not seem to be pitiful.
He had Destiny on him. Naturally, he was much better than the others in terms of a starting point. If he had taken his time and slowly improved with his Destiny, he would have had a lot of achievements in the future.
However, he chose another path. Along the way, there were bloody storms and hardships. He had overcome many dangers and dangers along the way. It sounded cool, but it represented the rapid depletion of his Power of Destiny in reality.
To protect Xiao Han from many crises, the Power of Destiny in his body had to be burned and overdrawn again and again.
When his Power of Destiny was exhausted, the karma that he had provoked in the past would weigh down on him again. He could no longer resist and could only rely on himself.
From this point of view, Xiao Han’s current situation had a lot to do with him not knowing what to do and what to do. To a certain extent, it could be said that he had brought it upon himself.
However, they were acquaintances after all. Looking at Xiao Han, whose hair was already a little white, Chen Heng could not help but feel some emotions. Hence, the power in his body moved, and he continued to mobilize it.
Then, on the ancient sword, a huge amount of power was mobilized and added to Xiao Han’s body. Then, Xiao Han’s feelings became even more intense.
He could feel that under the illumination of the ancient sword’s radiance, the hidden injuries he had accumulated in the past were all recovering, and he was rapidly reaching his former peak.
Even his Dao Foundation, which was faintly crumbling, was showing signs of healing again at this moment. The appearance of this situation made Xiao Han’s face reveal a look of joy.
To be honest, his talent was not that high, to begin with. Even though his talent had increased after being strengthened and baptized by the ancient sword transformed by Chen Heng time and time again, he still could not be compared to a true Heavenly Gifted Individual like Song Qingruo. He was still a step behind.
During the many years of chasing and killing, his body had been destroyed repeatedly, and his Dao Foundation had been damaged.
Although he had reached the Nascent Soul Stage, his strength reached its ceiling, and he could not advance any further.
However, at this moment, with the activation of the ancient sword’s power, the hidden wounds on Xiao Han’s body were healing, and he was gradually recovering to his peak.
Even the collapsed Dao Foundation had recovered as if it had returned to its original state. There was a faint glow, and it was extremely beautiful and resplendent.
Xiao Han’s heart revealed a look of pleasant surprise when he sensed this situation. If one were to observe, one would notice that his arm was trembling slightly. He looked extremely excited.
“I still have hope…”
Xiao Han stood in his original spot. He looked at the ancient sword that was emitting a brilliant light. It was like a small star. Various thoughts arose in his heart. At this moment, his emotions were surging. “I still have the ancient sword… I can still break through…
“Those guys who once harmed me will pay the price sooner or later!”
Looking at the ancient sword in the air, there seemed to be a vigorous flame burning in his eyes. It was the flame of revenge. It was extremely hot and intense as if it would only give up after burning everything in front of it.
At this moment, there were still many shadows appearing in his mind. Those were the people who had once brought him harm and reduced him to this state. At this moment, they appeared in his mind one by one.
To Xiao Han, these past experiences were undoubtedly a great pain that needed to be washed away with blood.
As for the power of the ancient sword, Xiao Han had never doubted it from the beginning to the end.
Back then, when the ancient sword was awakened, even the Earth Heavenly Weapon, the Sword of Buddha, was far from being a match for it. It was directly swept away and suppressed, unable to cause the slightest ripple.
But now, the ancient sword had been dormant for many years and was once again awakened. Its power was extremely powerful, and it was able to sweep away everything and take revenge for him.
He had this confidence. However, as if he could sense his thoughts, the ancient sword’s body flickered slightly in front of him.
After many years of metamorphosis, the ancient sword’s body had once again undergone many changes. There were many strange Dao patterns on it, and each of them looked very complicated as if they were formed from thousands of tiny Dao characters, each of which had a unique effect.
At this moment, the ancient sword trembled slightly. A weak light bloomed on the body of the sword. Finally, it fell and descended in all directions.
Then, under Xiao Han’s shocked gaze, the ancient sword turned into a stream of light and soared into the sky. Finally, it disappeared from its original spot.
Looking from the ground of this mystic realm, one could see a sun far away from this place, heading further away.
“No…”
Xiao Han’s body began to tremble again. At this moment, his emotions were extremely complicated. At this moment, he recalled all the experiences he had when he met the ancient sword.
Only at this moment did he realize. It seemed that the ancient sword had never acknowledged him as the sword wielder, nor had it acknowledged him.
When he was in the Sword Tomb, he was able to activate the ancient sword and use its power mostly because of song Qingruo’s power, not because of his own body.
But now, Song Qingruo was no longer there. He could not use the ancient sword to help himself.
Otherwise, the ancient sword would not have remained silent for so many years. Finally, under the pressure of this secret realm, it recovered on its own and became what it is now.
Thinking of this, Xiao Han felt a little unwilling. He stared blankly at the sun in the sky and watched the streak of light disappear into the distance.
Compared to normal people, he was stronger, and his vision was clearer. Thus, at this moment, he could clearly see the trajectory of the ancient sword.
Under the guidance of some inexplicable power, the power of the ancient sword exploded violently, suppressing everything in all directions and injecting its power into this mystic realm.
In just an instant, the haze originally shrouded in this mystic realm was completely swept away. All the darkness disappeared, leaving behind only a brilliant brilliance.
Then, under the gaze of countless people, the ancient sword broke through the air and left this secret realm, heading to other areas.
At this moment, the scene on the spot disappeared. Everything returned to calmness. It took Xiao Han a long time to finally calm down. Standing on the spot, he looked at the ancient sword left in mid-air, and a bitter smile appeared on his face.
However, in the end, he still felt relieved. He turned around and headed toward the depths of this secret realm. From its looks, he should be preparing to find a place to recuperate.
