Chapter 6: Onyx Longsword

"Xiangwei, what sword do you think will he pick?" Li Youyou was curious.

"I don't also know, even with my sharp eyes, I cannot fathom the deepness in our son's eyes, it was an incredible abyss that could even swallow me if I let myself be drowned by those deep bright eyes" Xiangwei wondered how his son acquired such a look.

Xiangwei remembers that only with those that faced life-and-death situations would one look at world calmly without any façade.

Li Chunjun roamed the hill and found some that were already rusted, some that were maintained yet their internal structure must already be destroyed, some that looked elegant yet not so sharp for a sword, and some that have unique shapes.

He reached the top of the hill where two swords are embedded. He may not see it but the people downward are already shocked to their core.

"How is the crown prince able to effortlessly tread the hill, even with my current strength, the weight of the wills left on those swords would hinder me quite a bit yet the prince was unbothered by it, and he was still a mortal that never cultivated!" One of the dukes was amazed by how monstrous the future leader of the Empire. He looks forward for the future developments.

The other dukes and marquises are also surprised but eventually calmed down after remembering the feats the little crown prince achieved much earlier than what was happening today.

In the age of 1, he was able to read and write!

In the age of 2, he was able to fluently converse with people with no hesitance as if he was an expert political diplomat!

In the age of 3, he was able to lift swords and understand Genesis Runes!

In the age of 4, he was able to proficiently wield swords bigger than his size, he was even able to draw a Grade 3 Genesis Rune easily which means that this little prince has soul which was in the level of Corporeal Realm.

Divine Soul realms are divided into five.

Illusory Realm states that The soul is originally formless. This is the starting stage of the yuan master's divine soul. One could only write rudimentary genesis runes.

Corporeal Realm is a tier where it enables its possessor to write first-grade to sixth-grade genesis runes. Because of its transformation, the soul could leave the body in a short time and grants increased senses and perform spiritual attacks.

Materialization Realm is a level where marks would appear in one's soul and eventually forms one's Soul Flame, signifying that its owner has reached the realm completely.

God Roaming Realm is a realm where the body is unneeded to protect one's soul and can even negate Law Domain effects and create a safe zone inside someone's territorial law.

Saint Soul Realm is a level where one's soul transformed to a Saint, possessing mysterious capabilities.

Secretly, Li Chunjun was able to write seventh-grade genesis runes in theory but can be tired after because of spiritual exhaustion.

His soul was awakened and fused with his past life but that past life's remnant powers was only a littlest of fragment remaining but it was still incredible as it enabled him to ascend his soul to complete Materialization Realm.

With the Selfless State, he could have the prowess of God-Roaming Realm but will leave him dry due to pushing his soul to its limits.

Looking at the two sword in front of him, a yellow and green one, Li Chunjun stared at it for some seconds then looked back.

"These swords are not for me" With a staunch attitude, Li Chunjun went down without hesitation and picked a random black longsword in the lowest elevated part of the hill.

"Why! Those two swords are of Heaven grade!" One of the marquises wanted to cry crocodile tears.

The other pillars also were quite disappointed.

What was surprising was that his parents seemed to have been unbothered by it.

"Mother, I am quite tired, the hill's pressure was incredible" Lu Chunjun calmly said.

"Congratulations to you Li Chunjun!" his mother gently caressed his head and allowed him to go back to his room.

---------------------------------

[Li Chunjun/Yoriichi POV]

Looking at those people, they seemed to be in doubt that I picked something useless.

Well, for now, it was useless but this sword was identical to the sword that will never be forgotten by me.

Even if it was destroyed and fragmented, its aura will never escape my senses.

Tengu.

That birdman was a silly man that hides great power and uses it for amusement. After I destroyed the Gates of Reincarnation and created a slit in the Underworld's dimensional space, Tengu remained and fought another two people aside from King Yama which I do not know.

I suffered from the spatial streams that ravaged the spiritual body of my soul but the Lotus protected myself from further damage. It can replenish my soul but still cannot fend off the pain, ultimately making me experience thousands of hellish years.

I was lucky that someone I do not know opened a dimensional gate which I entered stealthily, and I woke up as someone named Li Chunjun, the crown prince of the Sword Empire.

Looking at this sword, I closed my eyes and touched it gently.

Marks appeared in his left forehead that stretched towards his left arm. The world went gray and a seemingly wiggling creature can be seen inside the sword.

Projecting his soul to establish a connection between the two, a nightmarish scene appeared in Li Chunjun's mind.

Surges of killing intent blasted into Li Chunjun's face.

Even after facing this aura for the second time, the next experience is still as scary as the first.

There was countless demons and black apparitions attacking a gigantic bird whilst battling another horde of enemies with just himself.

The gigantic bird full of wounds around its body, its feathers dripping with blood, shined suddenly with a blood-red light and disappeared.

The blood red-light transmogrified into multiple gigantic swords and annihilated all enemies on sight, it was a gruesome yet awesome scene.
