Chapter 63: The Legacy Item

As the stone door slowly opens, there was no shining light like last time that almost blinded Zen. Even though there was no light shining, Zen was still a bit paranoid.

Can't help it since he has lost 10 hours the last time a stone door opens. The trauma is still present and only time can fix this feeling of nervousness.

"Stop being a wishy-washy Zen and hurry up to the entrance. The aura is getting stronger and stronger. There's no time to waste."

Listening like a subordinate at work, Zen hurried up inside to see whatever this item is that could make everyone crazy for it.

Walking inside, everything is empty except for a rusty-looking sword in the center. So anticlimactic for something that everyone expects to be majestic.

"This damn rusty-looking sword is the whole mysterious item that even the empyrean is fighting for. Is this some crazy prank that the supreme being placed to fool everyone and waste their time?"

"Stop being so sarcastic and ignorant because of your insignificant cultivation base. Can't you feel the sword conscience is right in front of you and ready to stab you?"

"W-What the hell?" Hearing Cecilia's words, Zen tries to look carefully in front of him but no matter how hard he tries, it was nothing.

Just some dust and nothing in front of him beside the rusty sword that not even a beggar would want since it's covered in brown and dirty dust.

Touching it with a glove wouldn't even do since you can still feel the disgusting texture of this sword. Not to mention, there was no handle at all in this place.

"You little stupid brat, if it weren't for the person inside you, I would have sliced and dice you into pieces for my stomach."

A voice echoed the whole place and scared the shit out of Zen.

"Fuck you little motherfucker hiding shit. I'm cursing you now so come and get it." Zen completely lost his mind and cursed a whole load.

He has been stressed the entire time without touching Sara and he couldn't even make body contact with Cecilia at all.

The pent-up lust in him has already reached the limit when he heard about that scumbag Diego's past and tried to beat him harshly without killing him.

Now a conscience that he couldn't even see was calling him a brat after he got rid of being called a little boy.

Just how could he still handle everything with calm composure. He was still a human being with emotions and anger despite being a cultivator.

Meanwhile, Cecilia was rendered speechless by his attitude toward a conscience who has accompanied the supreme being.

If this was heard by some other empyreans, he would definitely get killed for disrespecting this conscience who carries tremendous power to curry favor.

"Y-You, what the hell is wrong with you? I'm sure that pretty girl inside you has told you my real identity already. Instead of paying respect to me, you have the gut to curse me."

"Sorry but I'm from Earth and not in your original world so your dumb brain of the logic of paying respect to the elderly is not in my book. Plus, I do whatever the hell I want and I'm done being bossed around like a slave."

"Good, very good. You can forget about obtaining my approval for holding this celestial sword that none other swords can ever compete against."

"Whatever, to think I waste all this time and hearing those magical beasts roaring outside like mad for nothing." Zen starts to turn around to leave this place because he had enough.

Being bossed around by Cecilia was already pushing him to the limit and now this dumb conscience from a rusty sword tries to boss him too.

Based on his voice, it was definitely a male so why would he bother with him anymore. Worst case scenario is he leaves and finds another way to become stronger.

It's not like Cecilia is in a rush to get her vengeance since she has lost 10,000 years so waiting for a bit more doesn't mean much.

The conscience was completely speechless to see that this brat actually plan to leave. Many have tried this tactic to get his approval but their fake act was easily seen through by him so he sliced their cultivation base to naught as punishment.

He was about to do the same to this brat but stopped because of the mysterious space within Cecilia so just a bit of bashing will do.

However, that plan is also thrown out because he wasn't acting and was genuinely pissed at him. It was already boring to be stuck here for god knows how long and when he finally found the fateful person, he went a bit ahead of himself.

Now great, he tried to act like a big shot and got rejected when the role should have been reversed.

"W-Wait a moment bra- boy. We can talk about this like a proper adult right?" Although a conscience should not have emotions, it was different for those who are powerful such as his sword being a celestial item.

Therefore, he would truly die out of boredom to know his chance of freedom to see the outside world-shattering because of an ill-tempered boy.

Cecilia in the mysterious space couldn't help but make a small giggle at this scene of playing. She would not disagree or prevent Zen from leaving when he's determined about his decision already.

She will respect him and it's not like they need this legacy sword no matter what. But to think Zen's sudden outburst and foul mood to leave will make this conscience concede defeat was truly hilarious.

'Not many can be like Zen to outright disregard a celestial item without care. M-Maybe this is the reason why I don't mind his company since he was always straightforward in his actions.'

A small blush appeared on her face before she hurriedly calmed down. 'Just what am I thinking to have this kind of heated feeling whenever I talk about Zen.'

Zen who was still planning to leave, finally stopped before turning around. He couldn't see the conscience yet but he can feel that it's staring at him.

"Listen conscience or whatever your name is, I have three conditions to reluctantly allow you to stay with me."

"You cheeky-"

"It's your choice to agree or not. But I'll let you know in advance since I'm a kind-hearted person. There is no negotiation whatsoever so I will give you ten seconds to decide."

Zen no longer cares and went straight to the point as he'll have to leave this town soon to avoid those black fog from polluting him.
