Chapter 109: Springflame 13

"There was a first son of their founding Highest. His name was Khutam. He was much stronger and powerful than Yin Qian. He had gone a great length too, to prove himself and avenge their member. He had been, patiently, planning his attack. And masterfully, he had attacked Yin Qian when Yin Xinyi was undergoing his ascension heavenly tribulation."

Tan Wu continued to explain to Ju Feng who asked curiously.

"How did he survive it?"

"Yi Ying Hui. That was how."

Tan Wu slowly replied.

"Uh?"

"Have you totally forgotten about it, Feng? Oh, okay. You see, Yi Ying Hui, had used the Chains Of Targarsus."

"Chains Of Targarsus?"

"Yes. The ancestral heirloom of the house of Yi. As the first child, it was hers by right to maintain but with an acknowledgement. She couldn't use it anytime soon, if at all. It was only to be in her care. If it was absolutely necessary, it would be used by a nascent soul at the least." 

"Why was that? I've seen cultivators used higher level weapons before. Even a luminous one, I believe."

"You are probably right. Though, I've not seen one before, I've heard of such, also. But, the Chains Of Targarsus was different. It was an errant weapon. Created by a shadow soul-forger, a highcelestial refered to as, Thudom. A true-born Natthada dwarf. As you know, Natthada was a heavenly shadow realm created on the Abyssal Shadow Deep."

"Very true."

Myths had it that, Thudom was plagued by shadows of his own demons, hence, he had proceeded to the depth of the abyssal shadow core to forge his heart manifestation. And his heart manifestation?"

"The Chains Of Targarsus?"

"That's right. Chains Of Targarsus. According to the tales, some claimed he was already lost in his own shadowed mind before he began to forge the chains. While others said he had totally lost his mind to the shadows of his own demons while forging the chains. But, one thing they all agreed was that his demons had fed on the abundance of shadow element at the abyssal depth."

Errant weapons!

Ju Feng's mind trembled in primal fear at the potential existence of an errant weapon on the mortal plane, talk less of being in that world. Errant weapons were totally different from other weapons. Divine weapons, luminous weapons, heavenly weapons, worldly weapons and terran weapons[weapons with runes], were definitive in their creation. A luminous treasure would forever be a luminous treasure. It's power would never increase further. Same went for the others. But errant weapons were completely different.

Errant weapons would continually and greedily devour the soul elements of the owner when in use, making them progressively dangerous. Once an errant weapon was brandished with the intension to use, soul demons would be manifested, plaguing the owner. A cultivator's soul could be lost in its own shadows, if the cultivator couldn't control the streaming of the soul elements and the soul demons.

Errant weapons could only be forged by celestial soul-forgers at the depth of an elemental core. But most importantly, the soul-forger would be totally lost in the elemental soul. Only soul-forgers plagued by their mind demons could ever undertake the forging of an errant weapons. Since the primordial beginning, only a few had ever found their way out of their soul elemental bondage. And they were the ones that managed to leave the depth of the elemental core with their souls in their bodies. Any forger that left the soul behind, would never find the way out. Forever lost.

That was why errant weapons were not common on the heavenly plain talkless of the mortal plane. Unlimitedly powerful, but extremely self-hazardous.

"True immortal danger."

"It is. As I was saying, Yin Ying Hui, who was trying to locate her brother due to some development, had came upon the dangerous scenario. Realizing that if she didn't do anything, her brother would die, Yin Ying Hui had used the chains."

"I'm listening."

"Granted, the chains had shattered the mind of Khutam and chained his soul in eternal shadows, still, the shadow energy of the chains was too much for her to manipulate. It had spiraled out of control, making her soul lost in its own shadows. She was only at the Jindan level at this point, how could she withstand the backlash."

"Terrible."

"Yes, terrible fate. Two first-born, nothing more than living corpses. It could have led to war, but due to the fact that it happened to the two of them of the same cultivation level, the two rulers made a pact. Any disputes between two cultivators of the same level, must not be intervened by a higher level cultivator. And, unless a kingdom is threatened, no nascent souls and above should engage in any form of battle. Only Jindan and below could indulge in battles. Any loss must be taken in good faith."

"A good-will pact."

"Absolutely. The pact still delicately stands till this day."

"What about Yin Ying Hui?"

"She resides in the shadow-Maw cave, under the lord manor of Chanuan city. She had never been seen outside the cave since that battle."

"Hm. So, Yin Qian had intervened to save Shi Lingxin for the reason that, his own sister and the mother of Shi Lingxin who had lost her own soul to save him before."

"Indeed."

"Honourable."

From the information he had gathered, the three kingdoms of Wuzhen was sitting on a fragile pact of good-will. The human sovereign was a reasonable leader to still be maintaining the pact. He really cared for his kingdom inhabitants. More so, Ju Feng was now a member of the Chanuan city. Whatever affected the other humans, would concern him too. Hopefully, they would continuing living in peace

Ju Feng recollected his thoughts as he snapped back to the present. Not all doom and gloom. He looked at the single piece of Iradium gold and silver coins in his hand as he smiled broadly. His own share from the sojourn to Springflame. He looked around satisfactorily, he had Iradium coins of his own. Coins of the immortals and gods. How about that?

A cheerful smile on his face, Jufeng walked towards the last entry point.
