Cohabitation with Sword Spirit

Chapter 594: Chapter 87: The Saint’s Unattainability

Zhao Chenlu’s conclusion unsurprisingly provoked a significant protest.

Among them, the Sect Leader’s attitude was the most resolute, even displaying an unprecedented level of irrationality.

"Nonsense! You, woman, must be going through menopause, your mind isn’t clear anymore!"

Zhao Chenlu let out a cold laugh and was about to retaliate, but was interrupted by a remark from Wang Jiu.

"I see, with this answer, all the previous issues can be explained."

As soon as Wang Jiu spoke, the Sect Leader was rendered speechless.

In matters of Immortal Demon, the Celestial Divine Sword is the absolute expert, and his words are the conclusion, without any need or reason for doubt.

But after a while, the Sect Leader couldn’t suppress the confusion in his heart and asked, "But this conclusion is opposite to your previous one. Didn’t you once conclude that the Saint Sect has nothing to do with the Demon Race?! And if the founder of the Saint Sect was of the Demon Race, then what are we? Demon offspring? The civilization of the Xiangzhou Continent owes its origins to the Saint Sect; are we all beneficiaries of the Demon Race’s favor?!"

Zhao Chenlu rolled her eyes, noticing that Wang Jiu was deep in thought and had no intention of refuting her, she chuckled again and said, "Old man, it’s you who’s unclear-minded. The civilization of the Xiangzhou Continent owes its origins to the Saint Sect? That kind of historical view is purely the result of thousands of years of brainwashing by you in the Saint Sect."

The Sect Leader retorted, "If not the Saint Sect, then the Seven Families? As the Patriarch of the Zhao Family, why don’t you look through your own historical records and see how your own people evaluated the Seven Families at the end of the Dark Ages!"

At this moment, Wang Jiu spoke up, "The contributions and historical significance of the Saint Sect are undeniable. The Xiangzhou Continent has a strong affinity for the Saint Sect, which we used to call following destiny; this cannot be achieved by fabricating history."

Zhao Chenlu was momentarily stunned, "So, you mean to say, my conclusion is wrong?"

At this point, Zhao Chenlu couldn’t help but furrow her brows, her gaze returning to the Holy Record, attempting to find flaws in her translation of the Hidden Love Letters, but no matter how she looked at it, from the painstaking Burning Blood Script, she could only see the desperate roars of two coerced members of the Demon Race.

Could it be that the two original founders had a hobby of posing as the Demon Race when they were bored? In that case, their acting was too convincing; being able to write a Demon Race diary in Burning Blood Script, their true persona was not much different from the Demon Race.

As she thought about it, Zhao Chenlu’s gaze suddenly halted on a few more incredible passages in the middle of the Holy Record. She became completely immersed in the text, oblivious to the world around her.

This strange state naturally attracted the attention of those around her. The Sect Leader clicked his tongue, unable to suppress the annoyance in his heart.

What has this woman seen again? What could be more incredible than the founders of the Saint Sect being from the Demon Race?

Judging from Zhao Chenlu’s expression, the new discovery was certainly incredible to the extreme, but it didn’t seem to be anything negative, because Zhao Chenlu’s initial astonishment quickly turned into an expression of mixed amusement and irony.

What exactly has she discovered?!

After watching for a while, the Sect Leader felt as if his heart had been lightly scratched by a cat’s claws, itching uncontrollably, yet Zhao Chenlu showed no intention of explaining. After a while, she gave Wang Jiu a look, prompting him to come closer to examine the complex Burning Blood Script.

"I see..."

Wang Jiu reacted more than Zhao Chenlu did, nodding repeatedly after examining it for a while, "This clarifies a lot of things. It seems that I’ve indeed fallen behind the times, always trying to solve problems using methods from the Jiuzhou Era, while the new world has already changed beyond recognition."

The Sect Leader couldn’t hold back any longer, "What’s going on?!"

Zhao Chenlu and Wang Jiu exchanged a glance, and then Zhao Chenlu said, "This is a long and very intricate story that might exceed your capacity for understanding. Are you sure you want to hear it?"

"Asking redundant questions like that is just an insult to your own intelligence," the Sect Leader fumed, "With things said this far, you still ask if I want to hear it?!"

"Alright, but the next part of the story is truly, truly incredible... If we were to translate the original text directly, you’d probably have many questions, so I’ll give you our conclusion after reading the entire text instead."

The Sect Leader pondered this for a moment, then nodded in agreement, "Fine, just tell me your conclusions. I wouldn’t understand the original text anyway, no point wasting time translating it for me."

"Alright, first and foremost, our conclusion remains unchanged: the two founders of the Saint Sect... were actually from the Demon Race." Zhao Chenlu said, glancing at Wang Jiu again.

The narrative then switched to the Celestial Divine Sword.

"The two should have been next-generation members of the Demon Race, incubating in the mother nest during the Immortal Demon War, not yet matured. Later, when the decisive battle erupted, the mother nest was destroyed by shockwaves, but many of the insect eggs inside survived—because the Demon Race’s mother nest offers extremely powerful protection for its own eggs. However, then came the catastrophe, the Jiuzhou Continent was shattered, Chaotic Void spread across the lands, and even those vague enough to survive the first wave of impacts were largely destroyed by subsequent environmental changes... yet there are always exceptions. Some of the eggs succeeded in overcoming numerous trials, surviving on the new Xiangzhou Continent."

To this, Zhao Chenlu added, "But during the Ice Age, many of those surviving eggs perished again, a part of history that the Saint Sect should also be aware of."
