Chapter 595: Killing Symbol
"These two killing symbols were created from the entirety of my life's efforts, in the process of repairing the art. They remain incomplete, and I leave with some regret. After enduring the tempering of the path of swords, I gained further insight, but was hunted by powerful enemies and forced to flee. My future is uncertain. If a successor should discover this place, may they inherit my will and press on without rest. One day, may the might of the Dao of Slaughter and sword scripture shine again..."
At the end of the message, the name "Qingzhu" was carved using sword qi.
The handwriting was chaotic, etched with sword qi in great haste.
It was clear that the person who wrote these words was under immense urgency, just as the message said: pursued by enemies, forced to escape through the ancient teleportation array.
Not knowing what dangers awaited on the other side of the array, fearing he might never return, he left behind the killing symbols he had created through a lifetime of effort, lest they be lost forever.
He hoped that someone who had successfully cultivated the Primordial Spirit Sword Nourishment would one day discover this ancient hall and, using these symbols as a foundation, continue repairing the art and allow this unique method to once again see the light of day.
It was an act of great compassion, a guide left for those who would come after.
Perhaps, too, it was a reluctant farewell, a trace left behind in the Small Cold Domain to prove that he had once been here.
Qin Sang silently read the message, deeply moved.
He felt both gratitude for Senior Qingzhu’s selflessness and awe for his talent.
When the art was incomplete, the path ahead severed, and no one could guide him, Senior Qingzhu had not turned to another method. Instead, he pressed forward alone and, relying solely on his own strength, created two killing symbols, forging a new path.
Each symbol represented a new stage of the art.
