Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 2186 Old Grudge

While Lady Kang thought about that, Lin Mu was deep within his mind.

But his mind was not empty this time, instead two new presences hovered in it.

The first one looked like a small pine leaf that shone with a golden light while the second was a blue drop of water that glowed like a brilliant sapphire.

"Afternoon Pine? Ocean Raker?" Lin Mu felt a bit amazed at seeing their forms.

"Yes, master." The two replied having distinct tones.

Afternoon Pine's voice was melodious, as if the rustling of leaves while Ocean Raker's voice was like the whisper of the ocean waves.

Though there was one thing common with both voices, there was a tinge of child-like joy in them. It was hard to explain but hearing them made Lin Mu think as if both the swords were children.

Though considering they had been in existence for thousands of years it was not the case.

'Now that I think of it… Lanbao had a similar child-like vibe to her too. Is it just how formation and weapon spirits end up being like?' Lin Mu wondered if it took them a long time to become mature.

Even if they had technically existed for a long time, their spirits were still young and did not age fast. Similar to humans they would have to have various experiences in life before they could grow their personality.

"Its nice to hear you two directly." Lin Mu replied to the swords. "Are these your spirit forms?" he asked.

"Yes, you are correct." Afternoon Pine replied.

"In your mind we can take this form." Ocean Raker replied.

"I see… Well I wished to ask you about your past." Lin Mu questioned. "What happened to you two to have such a deep grudge against those beasts?" he inquired.

"We've faced those beasts in the past." Afternoon Pine revealed.

"You have!?" Lin Mu had a hunch about it, but now that he had confirmation he couldn't help but be surprised.

"Our masters fought against them… And perished to them." Ocean Raker added.

"No wonder… Those feelings of fury… They were carried over from the past." Lin Mu muttered. "Wait does that mean, you know all that happened in the past?!" he realized.

"No…" The golden leaf shook, as if denying. "In that battle, both of us were heavily damaged. It also damaged our memories, thus we do not remember most things." It explained.

"Other than the most immediate memories back when we were damaged, we don't remember anything else." Ocean Raker stated. "We do not even remember who our previous masters were other than the vengeance that was imbued into us." It added.

Lin Mu listened to the two swords and could understand their situation. In a way they were in a helpless state, where they couldn't even have revenge unless they had someone help them

After all they were immortal swords and not humans. They could not just walk out and find their foes on their own, they would still need a suitable person to wield them.

As such the two swords could only wait until finally Lin Mu obtained them.

"Can you two show me your memories? Whatever that is left." Lin Mu asked, wishing to see it himself.

That way he would have a much better idea of what happened, as well as what links the swords had to this place. After all, if the swords had fought the beasts before, it meant that they had been INSIDE this spatial plane in the past.

'Considering the fact that there were basically no sources of information about this inheritance ground, the people who entered here last should have done so a long time ago.' Lin Mu thought to himself.

The two swords were silent for a bit, as if trying to figure out whether they could do what Lin Mu wished for. Lin Mu let them be for a minute, after which they finally spoke.

"We can show you." Afternoon Pine stated.

"But it will not be pleasant." Ocean Raker added. "The memories are fragmented and raw, and might hurt you." "It will be fine." Lin Mu assured them. "I can take that. Its not my first time scouring memories anyway." "Very well." The two swords said in unison. "Brace yourself, master." They warned before a blinding glow was released by both.

~HONG~

The space in Lin Mu's mind turned a blank white before a scene manifested.

The scene was that of a battle, and Lin Mu found himself right in the middle of it.

"AAAHHHHH!"

"BIHIHIHIHIHIHIHI!"

"KILL THEM ALL!"

"DON'T LET THEM BREAK THE LINE!"

Tens of cries along with shouts were heard echoing among the horrendous cries of the eerie beasts.

'This…' Lin Mu found his vision moving on its own as he found a familiar sword in his hand. 'Am I seeing this from the perspective of Afternoons Pine?' he wondered.

But after a few movements he realized that it wasn't the sword's perspective but rather the perspective of the former owner!

Lin Mu found the cultivator fight fiercely against the eerie beasts and slaughter tens of them within seconds. But it was simply not enough as hundreds more swarmed in to join the fight.

"Uproot and rend!" The former owner commanded. "Pine Master Style- Third Form: Forest of a Million Cuts!" he uttered.

Lin Mu watched as an entirely new skill was demonstrated.

'Is this the original cultivation technique and skills of the former owner?' Lin Mu wondered as he saw its effect.

The sword seemingly flew out of the man's and rose into the sky. It then dived down right into the middle of the beast swarm and disappeared into the ground.

~RUMBLE~

A moment later, strong sword intent burst out of the ground and transformed into hundreds of thousands of sword slashes. The sword slashes seemingly looked like a forest had appeared, but anything that entered this forest was reduced to a bloody mist.

Seeing this, Lin Mu couldn't help but be impressed.
