Will of heaven and earth.

"Heaven's way exists, so do I? What does that mean?" The more he talked, the more absurd it seemed. Fang Chen was completely confused.

"The Dao is all things in heaven and earth. As the name suggests, the Dao heart is the heart of all things in heaven and earth. That means as long as all things in heaven and earth don't perish, then you will exist forever."

The spirit of the weapon said seriously, "Of course, you are still too weak now. Except for having stronger vitality and absorbing profound energy faster, you are no different from ordinary people in other aspects."

"In this way, this Dao heart doesn't seem very powerful." Fang Chen suddenly felt that this Dao heart was a bit useless.

As soon as he heard this, the spirit of the weapon was so angry that he jumped up. "Don't be ungrateful! I tell you, as of now, as long as your heart isn't crushed, you won't die! And after you step into the Xuan Saint Realm and start to come into contact with the laws of the Great Dao, the Dao heart can not only help you quickly understand the Great Dao but also to some extent, you are the will of heaven and earth!"

Fang Chen stood there stunned, unable to recover for a long time. The Dao heart he condensed was actually so powerful? Then he couldn't help but be puzzled and said, "What does this will of heaven and earth mean?"

The spirit of the weapon stroked his beard mysteriously and said slowly, "Heaven's secrets must not be revealed!"

After being baptized by the world of mortals in this Nine Reincarnation Array, Fang Chen's body and mind not only became transparent but also after the precipitation of the last life. At this time, whether in terms of thought or the realm of the soul, Fang Chen was already completely different from before. Since the spirit of the weapon didn't say, it must need him to slowly experience and understand.

Thinking of this, Fang Chen raised a smile at the corner of his mouth and said calmly, "Then there will be a long time to come."

The spirit of the weapon looked at Fang Chen deeply. After a long time, a look of relief finally appeared on his face. "Next, you should sign a contract with Thunder Kid."

Contract? Then Fang Chen remembered that when he just broke through the array, Thunder Kid called him master. Thinking of this, there was a hint of hesitation on his face and he said, "Is this Thunder Kid the same as you... left by the co-lord of heaven and earth?"

The spirit of the weapon immediately understood what Fang Chen was thinking. Then he chuckled and said, "Although both I and Thunder Kid are left by the co-lord of heaven and earth, we haven't been given any missions. Similarly, you won't have any either. I was obtained by you purely by chance. And Thunder Kid is trapped here. If he can't recognize you as his master, he will continue to sleep until the next master arrives."

After a slight pause, the spirit of the weapon continued, "Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't want to accept Thunder Kid. Just leave. It won't have any impact on you, me, or Thunder Kid."

Hearing this, Fang Chen couldn't help but feel relieved. If obtaining these things still required shouldering some mission, then he would rather not have them. You know, in this life, he cultivated so hard just to be able to protect Wei Lan...

But since he wanted to become a powerhouse, it would be a pity if he didn't take such a good helper as Thunder Kid. Thinking of this, Fang Chen pretended to be reluctant and asked, "What benefits will I get if I let Thunder Kid recognize me as his master?"

"There are many great benefits!" Seeing this, Thunder Kid quickly raised his head and said eagerly, "With me by your side, your cultivation can not only be twice the result with half the effort, but I am also good at setting up arrays. I can set up all kinds of arrays like illusion arrays, killing arrays, trapping arrays, and so on!"

"Really?" Fang Chen couldn't help but be a little tempted. Now that the Returning Yuan Sword has been obtained by him, it should be known to everyone in the world. If there is Thunder Kid who is good at setting up arrays by his side, then many troubles in the future can be avoided. "Then how do I make him recognize me as his master?"

"Um..." After seeing Fang Chen agree, a look of joy flashed in Thunder Kid's eyes. Then his expression became a little hesitant. "That... before, I..."

"Speak quickly!" Seeing Thunder Kid hesitating, Fang Chen pretended to be fierce.

Looking at Fang Chen, Thunder Kid clenched his small hand and put on an expression of disregarding life and death. He said in a deep voice, "Before I used the Nine Reincarnation Array once. It involved a bit too much profound energy of heaven and earth. If I recognize you as my master now, this residual profound energy of heaven and earth might burst you."

"Burst me? How is that possible? My body has just been transformed. And because of an array activated for a person at the Xuan Spirit Realm, how much profound energy of heaven and earth can it involve?" Fang Chen was stunned. Then he casually smiled and didn't care.

"No, it's not like that." Thunder Kid quickly waved his small hand and said, "As soon as I threw you in, another person at the Xuan Saint Realm also broke in. When this array was set up in the beginning, the co-lord of heaven and earth injected the will of heaven and earth into it. Once someone enters, the array will take the strongest person as the standard to involve the profound energy of heaven and earth to activate the array."

Fang Chen's expression changed suddenly. He murmured to himself, "Xuan Saint Realm? I remember there were two people chasing after me. Who went in?"

"Huang Wuji." The spirit of the weapon said faintly. "After Huang Wuji went in, this Nine Reincarnation Array was activated three times in succession. It involved a large amount of profound energy of heaven and earth. Although I don't know what method Huang Wuji used to forcefully break through the array and leave, the backlash he received must also be extremely strong. Of course, if it weren't for his forced break through, there would be even more residual profound energy of heaven and earth."

"Is Huang Wuji injured? What about the Black Flame Old Ancestor?" Oh my! This array is really amazing. It can even injure someone at the Xuan Saint Realm. Instantly, Fang Chen felt that he had really found a treasure.

"He should have left with Huang Wuji." Remembering that after Huang Wuji broke through the array and left, the aura of the Xuan Saint Realm outside also disappeared. The spirit of the weapon said indifferently, "After all, Huang Wuji himself is injured. They definitely don't believe that you can walk out alive. Besides, it's been half a month. How could they wait forever."

Has it been half a month already? Yes. Although the Nine Reincarnation Array is an illusion, the improvement in his state of mind is real. Thinking about it, it seems reasonable that the experiences of these nine lives took half a month. But now, he still needs to hurry up and improve his strength. Thinking of this, Fang Chen looked at Thunder Kid. "What is the chance of me surviving if I forcefully recognize him as my master?

"Why? Are you scared?" Before Thunder Kid could answer, the spirit of the weapon said coldly, "If you are scared of this and that, what kind of sword path are you cultivating?!"

"Are you trying to take his life?!" Hearing this, Thunder Kid couldn't help but jump up in anger. "Old thing, what's on your mind?!"

"Humph! Don't you want to get out?" The spirit of the weapon said coldly, "If you can't even bear this bit of profound energy, what right do you have to control the Chaotic Returning Yuan Sword?!"

"If he dies, how can I get out!" Thunder Kid roared.

"Enough!" Fang Chen waved his hand suddenly and said in a deep voice, "How do I recognize him as my master? Let's start!"

"Start? Are you courting death?!" Thunder Kid looked at Fang Chen in shock and anger.
