Chapter 001: A Clichéd Beginning

  "Master..."

  A soft, elegant woman's voice suddenly rang out, Feng Xiao hastily stood up and looked around in confusion, but didn't find anyone. He listened carefully, only to hear the faint sound of the wind whistling.

  "It must be me who heard it wrong." Feng Xiao continued his gathering work.

  "Master..."

  This time Feng Xiao heard it clearly, and even though he was extremely brave, his heart couldn't help but feel a chill: Could it be... that there's a ghost?

  "Who are you? Where am I?" Feng Xiao shouted loudly around him.

  "I... in your body... summon... Xuanyuan Sword... Blood..."

  The sound got lower and lower until nothing could be heard anymore.

  In the body? Xuan-Yuan Sword? Possession? Could it be...

  Suddenly, Feng Xiu thought of a possibility and quickly concentrated his mind, silently chanting "Xuan Yuan Sword."

  A flash of white light, a slightly copper-colored ancient giant sword suddenly appeared in his hand. The sword is about 150 cm long, the blade is about 120 cm long and 15 cm wide. The sword body is inlaid with complex patterns, and you can vaguely see one side engraved with sun, moon, stars, and the other side engraved with mountains, rivers, grass and trees. The hilt is faintly visible with strange text.

  Xuanyuan Sword! It must be the Xuanyuan Sword! Although it's different from his imagined majestic and radiant appearance, Feng Xiao can confirm that what he summoned is indeed the Xuanyuan Sword recognized by the system as its master. Because the faint patterns on the sword are almost identical to those in the legend.

  The two hands trembled with excitement, and hastily took a look at the properties of Xuan Yuan Sword:

  Xuanyuan Sword: Grade unknown, Requirement: None, Effect: Attack +1

  Crazy, completely crazy! This is the Xuan-Yuan Sword, the strongest power among the top ten ancient divine artifacts. It's actually not even as good as a novice short sword. Feng Xiao's excited mood was suddenly doused with a basin of cold water, feeling like he thought he had thrown a chocolate bean into his mouth, but found it was a piece of sheep dung instead.

  In his frustration, Feng Xian suddenly had an epiphany and remembered that the voice seemed to have mentioned blood; could it be that he needed to shed blood in order to successfully acknowledge his master?

  No longer hesitant, Feng Xiang hurriedly placed his hand on the hilt of his sword, silently chanting in his heart: Blood!

  "Rebirth" adheres to the principle of joyful gaming, so there is no blood when chopping monsters or being chopped, nor are there any flying limbs, corpse explosions, or other nauseating scenes. Even pain is controlled at 5%. When special situations require blood, just silently recite "blood" and the amount needed.

  Upon contact with Feng Xian's blood, the Xuanyuan sword emitted a faint golden glow and began to tremble slightly, producing a "hissing" sound.

  The golden light gradually became more intense, and the sword's trembling also became more violent. Feng Xiao's hands were tightly grasped to prevent it from flying out of his hand. After a full minute, the sword finally stopped shaking, and the golden light dimmed down.

  At this time, Xuan Yuan Sword's body was covered with a faint golden light, and the texture became much clearer.

  "Master, you've succeeded... finally succeeded." The faint voice sounded again, only this time it was much clearer, with a quiver of excitement.

  "Are you Xuan Yuan Sword? Are you talking to me?" Feng Xiao asked, staring at the Xuan Yuan Sword in his hand.

  "I am the sword spirit of Xuan Yuan Sword... My name is Xuan Yuan Wanyu, Master can call me Wan Yu." The girl's voice was as sweet as a oriole singing in the valley, extremely pleasant to hear, and her words were tinged with a hint of shyness.

  "Xian Ling?" Feng Xiao had heard about the Xian Ling from his adoptive father, that extremely powerful divine weapons could possibly produce a spiritual body. He somewhat believed it, and even more so since this was just in a game, so he wasn't too surprised. However, in his mind, a Xian Ling should be an arrogant old man with a white beard, but unexpectedly it turned out to be a soft-spoken young girl.

  "Were you just inside my body?"

  "I just was in the host's sea of consciousness, when the ten ancient divine artifacts recognize their master, they will exist in the host's consciousness and can only come out after being summoned by the host."

  "Wanyu has been waiting for tens of thousands of years, finally... found her master! Wanyu is so happy."

  "Waiting? For tens of thousands of years? What's going on? Are you looking for me? Why?" Feng Xiao was confused, this game is messing with him.

  "Tens of thousands of years ago, the gods and demons fought a great war. The Xuan Yuan sword was sealed with seven layers of seals for some reason. The most important first layer of seal can only be opened with the blood of chaos, and the master is the only person who has the body of chaos after Pangu in the prophecy tens of thousands of years ago."

  "Gods and demons at war? Sealed away? Chaos body? Me?" Feng Xiao's eyes widened in surprise as he touched his face, thinking to himself: "It can't be that I've hit the jackpot and 'Reincarnation' has chosen me out of millions of players to have a Chaos body." If that's really the case, then it's just too lucky. Since fate is like this, then I'll... Hehe... reluctantly accept it. Not only did I get Xuan Yuan Sword for free, but also came with a cute sword spirit. This game is really too extravagant, but I like it.

  No wonder the attributes were so frustrating earlier. It turns out that it was sealed. Feng Xiao hurriedly looked at Xuan Yuan Sword's current attributes:

  Sealed Xuan-Yuan Sword: Grade unknown, usage requirements: none. Attack speed: normal. Already acknowledged master, cannot be traded, dropped, discarded or stolen. Golden thousand-year-old sword, said to be the divine sword given by the heavenly gods to Emperor Huangdi to defeat Chiyou. It contains infinite power within, a divine sword for slaying demons and evil spirits, currently in a sealed state, seal removal progress: 1/7.

  Effect: Attack +100, Attack +10%; HP +100, MP +100; Basic attributes of the four major elements +10, Luck +10, Hit +10, Critical hit +5%, 5% chance to block attack, 1% chance to break weapon, 1% chance to shatter armor, 1% chance to instant kill.

  Skills:

  Xuanyuan Holy Flame: Auxiliary skill, primary level. Burns the user's fighting spirit with the sacred Xuanyuan flame, greatly increasing the user's abilities for a certain period of time.

  Effect: Attack power +100%, duration 10 seconds, can be used once per day.

  A string of powerful attributes and skills that are dazzling - strong, absolutely strong, +10 luck, shattering, crushing, instant death, each one is the most difficult to appear in "Reincarnation". And the attached skill, Xuan Yuan Holy Flame is extremely powerful, if it lasts a little longer, it's absolutely terrifying.

  Luck value affects the drop rate of items, critical hit probability and success rate of various game events, such as the chance of receiving hidden quests. It is a very important fixed attribute. The luck of ordinary players generally only has random 1-5 points, and the values attached to some extremely rare equipment that increases luck will not exceed 3 points. In the early stages of the game, the chances are almost zero.

  Fracture can render the opponent's weapon useless, unless they immediately switch to another equipment, otherwise they will become unarmed and their attack power will greatly decrease, and skills cannot be used. Shattering can make the opponent a defenseless tofu person.

  Instant death: as the name suggests, it means immediate death, one move and you're dead, regardless of your level, defense, or blood volume. As long as you're lucky enough to land an instant death, your life will immediately drop to zero, and you'll fall to the ground dead. Of course, the probability of instant death occurring is extremely low, and when facing a powerful opponent with a much higher level, the chance of landing an instant death is even more minuscule.

  Just unlocking the first layer of seal on Xuan Yuan Sword has such power, worthy of being an ancient divine artifact.
