"The Coiling Dragon Staff? The Seven Heavenly Martial Weapons?" Chen Xiaojun could not help exclaiming softly at these unfamiliar names. The two terms deepened his curiosity about the clan history Chen Yu had been recounting.
Seeing the curiosity written all over Chen Xiaojun's face, Chen Yu smiled and continued, "Yes. The Seven Heavenly Martial Weapons were the seven families of top-tier martial souls within the Heavenly Soldier Sect."
"And the people our founding ancestor Chen Ling and the Ximen Family's ancestor Ximen Zhenyang were fleeing belonged to the Heaven-Grasping Sect."
"Only after those two entered Slaughter City did their martial souls evolve into the Seven Kill Sword and the Karmaflame Demon Blade. Their original martial souls were actually the seventh-grade Azure Steel Sword and Huo Yun Blade."
Chen Xiaojun was startled again. "The Azure Steel Sword? The Azure Steel Sword from the Sword Sheath technique?"
He felt utterly captivated by Chen Yu's words. Every word made his heart beat faster.
Chen Yu looked at Chen Cong, who understood at once and picked up the explanation. "Yes, exactly. What else did you think? Even with the secret Sword Sheath technique, why would it take that particular form?"
As he spoke, Chen Cong manifested his Seven Kill Sword and slowly demonstrated, transforming it into a great azure sword with a broader blade, straight quillons, and an extended guard.
Chen Cong withdrew his martial soul. A flash of anger crossed his eyes as he continued, "This is actually an ancestral reversion of the martial soul. Otherwise, how could the secret Sword Sheath technique have been developed so easily?"
"Every martial soul that evolved to the ninth grade has thousands of years of history behind it. Our Chen Clan's history, traced back to our founding ancestor Chen Ling, spans less than two thousand years.
