Chapter 2138 - Yi Daoxuan, Like a Dog Without a Master
The River Lord glanced down at the sheath, but he didn’t seem at all surprised. Rather, he’d anticipated that the sheath would appear in Su Yi’s hands.
“That sheath has extraordinary origins, and it accompanied your first incarnation for years,” said the River Lord. “It’s a taboo treasure in its own right, but... only you can use it. Anyone else, no matter who, couldn’t use this treasure even if they acquired it.”
Su Yi's eyes lit up. A taboo treasure that accompanied my first incarnation in battle! This entirely unassuming sword sheath really does have shocking origins!
“What does it do?” asked Su Yi.
“For now, nothing. It’s completely useless. But you might well find a chance to use it in the God Domain,” said the River Lord. “I’m not trying to be mysterious; not even I know just what secrets are hidden within the sheath. All I know is that it will play a crucial role in your chosen Path of Divinity.”
Su Yi’s brow furrowed. “Then why are you so certain it’ll come in handy in the God Domain?”
“The God Domain is at the heart of the present day, and it’s closest to the River of Destiny. Only there can you improve your cultivation base,” said the River Lord. “Anywhere else you go, your cultivation base is sure to stagnate. So, given the circumstances, you won’t get the chance to uncover the sheath’s secrets unless you go to the God Domain, right?”
Su Yi pondered that, then looked down at the sheath. “If it’s that mysterious, and a taboo treasure at that, why does it look like a hunk of scrap iron? It’s... so pathetic I almost can’t bear to look at it.”
The River Lord said irritably, “True treasures aren’t ostentatious! Once you’ve uncovered its secrets, it will transform from trash into treasure, and shine so brightly that its radiance will blind you!”
Su Yi laughed. “Ultimately, it might be a treasure, but right now, it really is trash.”
With that, he put it away.
