Chapter 4338: A Big Secret?

The ancient sword resisted, engaging in a fierce struggle with the artifact spirit…

Neither side would yield to the other!

Both were incredibly stubborn!

"Damn it, I am your master, do you know that? You need to obey…"

The ancient sword resisted, nearly suppressing the artifact spirit.

If Xiao Fan hadn't been there to immediately channel spiritual power to help the artifact spirit, it likely would have been wiped out by the ancient sword.

"Big Brother, this sword is too bizarre… I can't handle it!" the artifact spirit said, heartbroken.

"Sigh… nothing I can do, take your time handling it." Xiao Fan shook his head helplessly.

He had no good solution for this kind of thing.

Even if the artifact spirit wanted to leave the ancient sword now, it couldn't.

There was no way around it; the ancient sword wouldn't let the artifact spirit leave…

Originally, the artifact spirit had occupied the ancient sword, but now the ancient sword had become the artifact spirit's cage.

Xiao Fan seriously suspected that the ancient sword was worried the artifact spirit would leave and that he would then do something detrimental to it, which was why it wouldn't let the artifact spirit go.

"Alright, go back." Xiao Fan threw the ancient sword back into the star chart.

He began to continue studying the Lingzhi, hoping to glean some insight from the power of immortality within it.

"Eternity… what is this 'Eternity' you speak of?!" Xiao Fan asked, surprised.

"Eternity is something that exists eternally… like me," the star chart said indifferently.

"And me!" the black ring said proudly.

"You are both eternal? What is Eternity… aren't you a chaos divine treasure?" Xiao Fan asked, surprised.

"We are chaos divine treasures, but we can also become eternal…" the star chart said indifferently.

"Uh… what does that mean?!" Xiao Fan was stunned.

"Let's put it this way: if we aren't destroyed, we can exist forever. Even after hundreds of primordial eras pass, we won't disappear… do you understand? That is Eternity, eternal existence. Of course, if we are destroyed, then we are no longer eternal," the star chart said indifferently.

"Uh… isn't that just stating the obvious? Anyone who gets destroyed can't be eternal!" Xiao Fan shook his head dismissively, feeling that the star chart was wasting his time.

"No… actually, we can be indestructible, which is to become truly eternal."

"What do you mean?!" Xiao Fan was stunned. "Above the chaos divine treasure, there are even higher supreme treasures?!"

"Not sure…" The star chart transformed into a beam of light, appearing before Xiao Fan and staring at the Lingzhi.

"Not sure? What do you mean?!" Xiao Fan puzzled, staring at the star chart.

"Not sure means not sure… chaos divine treasures should be the highest tier, but in reality, there ought to be a level above that," the star chart said slowly.

"Uh… can you keep it simple?" Xiao Fan raised an eyebrow.

"It's right… it means exactly what it says. Actually, above that, there should be an unknown, but what exactly it is, we don't know." The black ring appeared beside the light form of the star chart, staring at the Lingzhi.

"You don't know either?!" Xiao Fan looked at the black ring.

"Not sure… but I am very clear that we are not eternal," the black ring shook.

"Then what is this thing?!" Xiao Fan pointed at the Lingzhi.

"It has the Qi of Eternity… but it is far from being eternal," the star chart shook.

"Indeed… it only has the Qi of Eternity, but it must hide a great secret," the black ring sighed.

"A great secret? What secret?!" Xiao Fan asked, surprised.

"How would I know…"

"Don't look at me, I don't know either… I was just saying it casually."

Xiao Fan: "…"

The star chart and black ring did not know about the Lingzhi; they were only telling Xiao Fan what they knew about Eternity.

The so-called Eternity was an unknown Realm above the chaos divine treasure.

But what it specifically was, or how one could ascend to that Realm, even the black ring and star chart did not know.

They only knew of the existence of Eternity based on their instinctual memories…

"This… alright." Xiao Fan sighed and put away the Lingzhi, thinking it might be very useful later.
