Chapter 25: This is just too hard to decide.
In the Great Desolate Realm's three thousand Dao Domains, many know that Zang Jian Mountain has deep foundations.
Outside their mountain gate, there stands a giant sword plunged into the earth, radiating divine light day and night, with sword intent soaring to the ninth heaven!
Within Zang Jian Mountain's forbidden area, there is also a Sword Mound, where countless famous swords are buried.
Inside the Sword Mound stands a divine peak named the Sword Monument.
Every sword dao supreme from Zang Jian Mountain leaves their sword intent imprint on this monument, serving as an eternal legacy for future disciples to study.
Moreover, there's a legend in the world that the founder of Zang Jian Mountain, the Wújí Sword Emperor, left behind a Wújí Sword Fetus before he vanished!
However, this was only a rumor, and few knew if it was true.
But Su Qingshuang and Jiang Wuxu knew very well, this was not just a rumor!
The Wújí Sword Fetus truly existed!
The light cocoon in the void crack at this moment was indeed that Sword Fetus, genuine and authentic!
This Sword Fetus encapsulated the Sword Emperor's lifelong insights into the sword dao and his divine abilities!
It was now Zang Jian Mountain's strongest foundation!
Yet, throughout countless years, not a single person had ever been qualified to fuse with this Sword Fetus.
Looking at Zang Jian Mountain's legacy over billions of years, with countless disciples and prodigies emerging!
Those who reached the pinnacle of sword dao, achieving the body of a Sword Saint, were also numerous!
However, none of these individuals were qualified to inherit the Wújí Sword Fetus!
They all lacked the recognition of the Sword Fetus!
Because even if they fused it into their bodies, they could not achieve the position of Sword Emperor.
In other words, only those with the potential to become an emperor were qualified to receive this ultimate legacy of the Sword Emperor!
"This Wújí Sword Fetus was originally prepared by Zang Jian Mountain for the Absolute Spirit Sword Body."
"Both of you must understand, if this Sword Fetus could merge with the Absolute Spirit Sword Body, it would be seamless."
"Even then, the Flawless Sword Heart might not be its match."
Jian Lingtian stated.
Jiang Wuxu nodded in acknowledgment.
He certainly understood this point.
The Absolute Spirit Sword Body does not cultivate spiritual energy nor nurture the soul; it only practices sword dao.
Since they don't nurture the soul, they can't form a Sword Fetus!
Yet, even so, the Absolute Spirit Sword Body could ultimately achieve the highest realm, using their body as a sword, potentially even opening the Heavenly Gate with one strike, going against the immortals!
But with the Wújí Sword Fetus, it would completely make up for their only shortcoming!
The Sword Spirit!
Using the body as the sword and the Sword Fetus as the spirit!
Such an Absolute Spirit Sword Body would be unparalleled in the world!
Aspiring to become a Sword Emperor would be within reach!
At that point, even the Flawless Sword Heart would likely find no advantage against it.
"I hadn't managed to present the Sword Fetus to the Mu family when I heard about the imperial son awakening the Flawless Sword Heart."
"Frost Heavenly Emperor, Saint Ancestor Wuxu, I come with utmost sincerity!"
"As long as you agree, after the imperial son is born, the Wújí Sword Fetus will be his!"
"With the potential of the Flawless Sword Heart, he is absolutely qualified to be recognized by the Sword Fetus!"
Jian Lingtian said.
His eyes were filled with anticipation.
The imperial son was already extraordinary, possessing not only the Flawless Sword Heart but also a special physique.
Moreover, according to the Mu family, he was cultivating in the womb and even broke through the Bone Tempering Extreme Realm.
All this demonstrated his unparalleled talent!
If he could be taken into Zang Jian Mountain and fuse with the Wújí Sword Fetus, it would undoubtedly be like adding wings to a tiger!
Of course, another very important reason for choosing the imperial son was:
Su Qingshuang!
The only one in millions of years to achieve the Heavenly Emperor Dao Fruit, the strongest in the current era!
If they could become the teacher of the imperial son, forging a deep connection with the Heavenly Emperor, it would bring many benefits to Zang Jian Mountain.
It would certainly surpass the Mu family!
Inside the womb:
"Zang Jian Mountain really thinks highly of me!"
"What should I do, what should I do? I'm so conflicted now!"
After understanding the Wújí Sword Fetus, Jiang Yuqiong's heart was set ablaze.
Such a treasure was incredibly rare.
This was a huge temptation!
Even he couldn't help but be moved by it.
But then, thinking about the dull and monotonous life of sword cultivation, he couldn't help but shiver.
Suddenly, he was caught in a dilemma, his little face all scrunched up.
This was really a tough choice.
So conflicted, isn't it?
But in that moment, an idea struck him.
"How about... I get my mom to agree first?"
"Then, after I'm born, I'll just be a nominal disciple at Zang Jian Mountain?"
"Anyway, the main thing is to get the Wújí Sword Fetus first. Then, I'll just live life however I want."
"Besides, my mom is a Heavenly Emperor; even if I don't stay at Zang Jian Mountain, they can't do anything to me!"
"Hahaha... I'm so clever!"
At this thought, Jiang Yuqiong felt incredibly excited.
He felt he was wise, brilliant, and intelligent beyond measure!
Zang Jian Mountain is strong, but could they be stronger than his mom?
Even if he really "tricked" the Wújí Sword Fetus out of them, they would have to accept it with a pinch of their nose.
Moreover, Jiang Yuqiong wasn't planning to be ungrateful.
He could be a disciple of Zang Jian Mountain!
If they have any troubles, he definitely wouldn't stand by idly.
If there are benefits to be had, he wouldn't forget them either.
He just wanted to pursue freedom, live the life he wanted, not spend all day practicing sword techniques.
No conflict!
Not at all.
"Hehehe..."
At this moment, Jiang Yuqiong felt overwhelmingly smug.
His abacus was ringing like thunder.
But just then, a voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
"Ding, new task released."
"With the system forging an invincible path, why borrow others' methods?"
"Please complete the task objective: Refuse the Wújí Sword Fetus!"
"Task Reward: Great Desolate Heaven-Imprisoning Finger!"
"Uh..."
This sudden task left Jiang Yuqiong stunned, feeling like he had been struck by lightning from the inside out.
What the heck?
I'm still deciding whether to take the Wújí Sword Fetus or not.
But this damn system...
It actually wants me to refuse?
So frustrating!
Such a powerful divine treasure, and you want me to refuse it?
Jiang Yuqiong was speechless.
However, the reward offered by the system was also terrifyingly powerful!
Great Desolate Heaven-Imprisoning Finger!
Cultivated to perfection, one could kill with one finger, breaking the universe, reversing the sky, turning the Great Dao, and annihilating laws!
Even the strongest enemies could be killed with a single finger.
This was an extremely fierce divine ability!
"One is the Wújí Sword Fetus, left by the strongest Sword Emperor, the ultimate sword dao inheritance."
"The other is the Great Desolate Heaven-Imprisoning Finger, a sure bet for a world-class divine ability, completely suppressing all other methods in the Great Desolate Realm."
"Which one should I choose?"
Now, Jiang Yuqiong was even more conflicted.
From his perspective, he wanted both supreme treasures.
But clearly, the system wouldn't let him exploit any loopholes.
Such a tough choice!
In fact, it wasn't just Jiang Yuqiong who was conflicted at this moment.
Outside, Su Qingshuang was also undecided.
Glancing at Jian Lingtian sitting opposite her, she was even tempted to agree on behalf of the little one.
But after a while, she still didn't feel any response from the little one.
Could it be that this little thing didn't fancy the Wújí Sword Fetus?
"That makes sense, Yuqiong, even without the Wújí Sword Fetus, is destined to stand at the top!"
"The mysterious technique he cultivates alone is enough to make him rise from the ground and dominate the current era."
Su Qingshuang thought to herself.
Regarding that unknown technique, she had a profound impression.
She could vaguely feel that the true terror of that technique had yet to be fully revealed.
In comparison, even the Wújí Sword Fetus might not match up.
"The Sword Saint's gesture is indeed tempting."
Su Qingshuang gave a helpless smile and spoke.
At this moment, the Wújí Sword Fetus floated quietly, radiating light.
She glanced at it lightly, feeling somewhat regretful.
But there was nothing to be done; the little one didn't seem interested.
Su Qingshuang withdrew her gaze and continued.
"As said before, let's wait until the little one is born, and let him decide for himself."
She still left some room.
What if, after the little one was born, he was willing to accept the Wújí Sword Fetus?
