Chapter 153: 153 thousand years a cycle

This time, she sensed even more clearly the difficulty of her advancement. For her, progressing from a Sixth-tier Swordsman to Ninth Rank was probably harder than an ordinary swordsman advancing from First Rank to the Sword Master Realm. The immense power contained within the Dragon Blood Stone had already surpassed her understanding.

"You think this is just an ordinary Dragon Blood Stone? This is a Dragon Heart Stone. If the Dragon Blood Stone is formed from the Essence Blood of an Ancient Divine Dragon, then the Dragon Heart Stone is the essence of that essence." A row of small characters flashed quickly across the Star Plate, and at the end, it even gave Mu Hanyan a rolling eye.

Fortunately, Mu Hanyan had gotten used to glancing at it from time to time these days, learning to speed read and take quick notes. Otherwise, she really wouldn’t have been able to see clearly what was written. Even so, it was quite a strain on her eyes.

"So it’s a Dragon Heart Stone. In my previous life, I only heard about Mu Nan obtaining a Dragon Blood Stone; nothing was ever mentioned about a Dragon Heart Stone," Mu Hanyan asked with confusion. As the Star Illusion Thousand Machine knew even what she was thinking, her reincarnation was obviously no secret to it.

While speaking, Mu Hanyan rubbed her eyes, staring unblinkingly at the Star Illusion Thousand Machine. Recently, this fellow had become more talkative and, more importantly, its handwriting had become even more sloppy and ugly. She had to pay extra attention, or she might miss something.

"The power of Heaven and Earth in the Dragon Heart Stone is too vast for one to bear on their own. Thus, every thousand years it goes through a cycle: from destruction to establishment, from establishment to destruction, from weakness to prosperity, prosperity to decline. You’re lucky to have obtained it at the peak of its power, otherwise, it would be no different from an ordinary Dragon Blood Stone," the Star Illusion Thousand Machine explained. Indeed, it had become more talkative, and Mu Hanyan read it all in one breath, not daring to blink, which made her eyes ache.

"So that’s how it is." Mu Hanyan silently marveled. Indeed, fortune and disaster rely on each other.

Because of her reincarnation, she had changed Yuan Tianbo’s playboy attitude just a bit, wanting to snatch the Fire Orchid from Che Xiang’s hands, resulting in Mu Nan not obtaining the Dragon Blood Stone early as he had in her previous life. But because of this delay, she had unexpectedly acquired the more precious Dragon Heart Stone.

Upon understanding the cause and effect, Mu Hanyan couldn’t help but feel overjoyed.

"Right, do you know where I can find more Dragon Heart Stones? Let’s go look for a few more!" Mu Hanyan continued.

"Aren’t you afraid of pain, afraid of death?" A row of small characters appeared on the Star Plate.

"Not afraid! To be able to enhance my strength so rapidly, even if it’s a bit more painful, I’m not afraid. As for death, I think having been reborn once, I shouldn’t die so easily," Mu Hanyan said, her words showing a hint of overconfidence that comes with forgetting past pain.

Just now, she had indeed been in so much pain that she almost couldn’t help but want to give up, and she was indeed very afraid of death. But once she pulled through, she found the world infinitely beautiful, and the crisis wasn’t as terrible as she had imagined. Endure it, and it would pass, and her courage grew substantially.

"You are right not to be afraid. The Heavenly Heart Technique has the ability to neutralize and assimilate all forces into one’s own. You won’t die. However, Dragon Heart Stones are hard to come by once in ten thousand years; they are not so easily found. Forget about it," the Star Illusion Thousand Machine replied, this time much slower, as if carefully considering before providing an answer.

Even if it didn’t tell her, Mu Hanyan knew that Dragon Heart Stones were something that could be encountered but not sought. However, knowing the mysteries of the Heavenly Heart Technique, she was still ecstatic. Even if she couldn’t find another Dragon Heart Stone, she could absorb and transform similar ones, only enduring some suffering.

She also understood why she could easily break the defenses that even a Great Swordsman like Qu Shanhai couldn’t. At that moment, giving it her all, she naturally pushed the Heavenly Heart Technique to its limit. It was precisely because of the technique’s unique ability to neutralize and assimilate all forces that she could so easily breach the defense. She had been too shocked at the time to realize this.
