Chapter 1543 Number One Under Heaven

1543 Number One Under Heaven

"So you've remembered everything, huh?" Zi Xuan pointed her finger at him in a threatening manner.

"Not literally everything as Tian Qiyuan, but I remember how we met, about the God of Creation Ceremony, about being slandered and clearing my name, and how you became the spirit of Number One Under Heaven."

"Then you remember our promise, right? That you'd never let another soul dwell within my sword for as long as I exist!" she growled, her anger palpable.

"Yes… I remember… and I'm sorry for breaking that promise. I have no excuse, even though I only recovered Tian Qiyuan's memories just now. However, can you hear me out for a moment?"

"I'll give you one minute to explain yourself." Zi Xuan replied after a moment of silence.

"Thank you." Yuan immediately explained the situation to her.

Sometime later, Zi Xuan spoke after grasping the situation, "I understand the situation now, but that doesn't mean I have to accept it. You tossed them into your Soul Weapons so you could bring them out of the Shadow Realm, but now that they're out of the Shadow Realm, they no longer have any reason to stay inside."

"Now give me back my home before I go in there and remove you myself! I can't promise you'll be in one piece by the time I am finished!"

Knowing Zi Xuan's character and how much Number One Under Heaven meant to her, he had no doubt that she would actually carry out her own threat.

Yuan quickly pondered for a solution. Since the Soul Weapon could only house one soul at a time and he didn't have another unoccupied Soul Weapon, there was only one place for Yu Ning to stay.

"It's okay, Young Master. I will come out. Since we're outside the Shadow Realm, it's true that I no longer need to stay inside, and this is her home, after all." Yu Ning's voice suddenly said.

And without waiting for Yuan to respond, Yu Ning emerged from Number One Under Heaven.

Unlike Zi Xuan, who was in perfect shape and looked like an actual human, Yu Ning's soul resembled a small, ethereal cloud.

"Hmph!"

Zi Xuan immediately entered Number One Under Heaven.

Ding!

"..."

[Unique Ability(9): Sealed]

Five out of nine of Number One Under Heaven's unique abilities were inaccessible due to the restriction.

"I've been meaning to say this for a while now, but what's with your pathetic cultivation base? You won't be able to use me at my full potential at your current level. It's a miracle you managed to come this far inside the Vanishing Valley." Zi Xuan's voice resounded from the sword.

"I know. I'm working on it."

"Hmph. If I hadn't restricted most of Number One Under Heaven's power before it fully awakened, your body would've exploded just from touching it. Anyway, do you remember how to use me?"

"I do, but right now…"

Yuan turned to look at Yu Ning and said, "You can stay inside my Dantian."

"What? Are you insane?" Zi Xuan responded before Yu Ning could. "How can you let a stranger enter your Dantian so easily? If she wants to destroy your Dantian, there's nothing you can do to stop her."

Due to a Dantian's unique properties, it was possible to let living beings reside within them. Xiao Hua and Yuan's other servants were perfect examples of this phenomenon, as they would stay inside his Dantian whenever they entered his body.

However, unlike Xiao Hua and the others who couldn't harm Yuan due to their master and servant status, Yu Ning, who was not bound by any contract, posed a different story. This made her presence within the Dantian potentially dangerous, as she could destroy his Dantian while inside.

"Even though I haven't known Yu Ning for long, I trust her enough to let her stay within my Dantian," Yuan said with a calm smile.

"Young Master... to go through such lengths for me... I am eternally grateful," Yu Ning spoke, her voice trembling with emotion.

And she continued, "With heaven as my witness, I swear upon my soul that I will never harm you for as long as I live, or may the heavens shatter my soul!"

A profound aura enveloped Yu Ning's soul as she finished speaking, signifying that her oath had been heard and was now in effect. If Yu Ning were to harm Yuan from this moment forth, her soul would be shattered.

"You didn't need to do that, but thank you for doing so," Yuan said.

"Once I regain my body, I will definitely serve you properly, Young Master." Yu Ning said as she entered his Dantian.
