Thinking that its owner is just nearby, it decided to fly by itself to find him. My master must be so powerful. To actually awaken me with just sword qi slash? Godly! I must find him quick!"
But when it tried to unlodge himself from the stone, it realized it can't move a part of it. It can't even send its spiritual energy out of its body. When it looked down, it saw a seal array imprinted on the stone it was stuck on. "What's going on? Why am I stuck here? Who did this? Could it be my master? No! It can't be. This seal is a part of a heavenly array only celestial beings can create!"
"..."
"Faq! So I am stuck in a stone imprinted with a half-heavenly seal? Faq! This is a disgrace! An absolute disgrace! How can I, an ancient legendary artifact be lodged in a mere stone with a mere half-heavenly seal? Faq!"
Lightning power imbued with its will accumulated on its blade. Even its runes glowed distinct yellow. Then it exploded with great intensity not weaker than the previous sword wave.
KACHAAA!!!
However, the seal only glowed red before it calmed. The saber was frustrated. "Faq! This faqing seal is faqing annoying! CURSE YOU HEAVENS! FAQ YOU FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE!!!!"
The heavens reacted faster. It seemed they were really mad as they sent hundreds of sword wave and tens of heavenly tribulation.
To any cultivator, even those immortal, one heavenly tribulation is enough to deciminate their souls disabling them from reincarnating. Even legendary weapons are no exception. But to this saber, it has exceptional hidden abilities. Like a hungry whale, it absorbed all the qi present and even the tribulations are devoured like they are food. The saber absorbed all of them before they could reach the ground. The waves disappeared in ten seconds.
Crack! Crackle! Crrrr...
Lightnings overflowed the entire blade with power that it crackled and glowed very bright blue. The mere light blinded all creatures who looked at it. And even the air's atoms split up and exploded, exposing partly the void within.
The refinement of power gradually finished, but the excitement of the saber is over to the moon!
"Hahahahaha! Hahahahaha! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... Foolish heavens! Thank you for the power! Now, I'm completely energized again! Hahahahaha!"
Overloading its blade with electric power once more, it sent a very strong amount of saber qi to the stone seal and completely destroyed it into dust. It broke free and flew excitedly to the atmosphere with great relish.
"Hahahahahahahaha!! I'm freeee!!!..."
Like a dove who flew from its cage the first time, the saber flew in a breakneck speed, travelling the entire island eight times in a second. The city was alarmed by the sudden waves of wind and thought there was a tornado. The saber flew faster and faster until it neared the speed of light. It moved in a circular fashion and in air left light particles resembling characters. The saber was creating a teleportation array to go to the heavens once more. It slept for countless millenias thus he was excited to find its owner.
But when the teleportation seal was nearly complete, a red lightning struck from the heavens and destroyed the seal in an instant. The saber instinctively used its defensive abilities but it was still struck and it fell to the earth faster than light. The red lightning erased all traces of the teleportation array.
The saber fell in a great kwang! Its pointed blade did not even lodge on the flat ground but rebounded back to the air as fast as it came. The saber lost all its transluscence and dimmed back to darkest dark. Its yellow runes disappeared and it looked just like an ordinary blade. It fell on the flat ground once more. Before its spirit lost consciousness, it was thinking. "Faq... I only slept for a while and this is what happened? How come both the Heaven and Hell sealed the mortal realm? Why? What's going on..."

The blade woke up finding himself in a strange place. No, it was actually familiar. It is exactly the place where it fell down. However, everything returned to normal. The soil is not burnt black anymore. It was back to its usual state, not a trace of the earlier events are left. Grass and trees here and there. They regrown as to the same state they were in. And the sky is normal black starry once more. Not a trace of the heavenly tribulations or the sword wave. It's like it came back to the time one hour ago. Only the difference is that it is still free, unbound by any seal. And it recovered its energy. However, not distinct to the naked eye, there were actually cracks on its surface. And its runes are already gone.
The spirit of the saber sighed in frustration. "This she T state I was in. How can I survive in this dump?"
He said with regret as he stared as the wide expanse of graveyard where zombies and skeletons are roaming around. "I must find more information about the current era. Who knows how long I was sealed? I saw a city here a while ago. But I cannot go in a blade form. Hm.."
"Ah! What is that technique again? I forgot." It did a gesture and draw a character in the air with its blade. Then it glowed pale blue and eventually transformed into a human.
"Aha! It's the physical manifestation technique! It's only temporary. I think I can only last for an hour or two. I must hurry up." He noticed something lodged on his mouth. What is this? He took it off.
"Wha?! Why is there a human finger here? What the faq!" It was the top part of the pointer finger. It was charred but it still noticeable a fresh burnt flesh of a human. He began to wonder. "Could this be...?"
He jolted in shock at his own hypothesis. "Haha no way. It can't be..." But when he looked at the finger again...
"Could this really be...?"
Clenching it, he walked away. "I will find out."
As it walked in a linear path, it observed its surroundings properly. No. Not it. He. He was admiring every beautiful things he saw. There were many things here that isn't found in the heaven realm. There ¡ it was all about purity and whatnot. But here, all things you could possible want is existing! How can he not be excited.
Hordes of monsters came to attack him but he just sent his saber slash with a swipe of his finger. When he reached a distance, he was once again amazed by a sight to behold.
It was a wall. A tall and wide, very wide wall. He was not sure how long it is but it is longer than anything he'd seen. He walked closer to the wall. When he was meters away, an arrow struck past his face. He looked up. A human is pointing an arrow to him with a crossbow.
The man he assumed to be a guard spoke, "What's wrong with you, picture."
"Huh?" What's wrong with me?
"Not enough to buy, eh?"
"Enough to buy?"
"Washday tomorrow. Nothing clean, right?"
"Nothing clean..." Seriously, what is this human talking about? He is wondering. He looked at himself. He has feet, he has balls, he has hairs on them, he has abdominal muscles, he has chest, a pair of arms and a head. So where is it not clean? Where is lacking?
"What are you really talking about? I don't understand you."
The guard was speechless. "Just get out of here, rapist. You ain't nothing to get here."
"..." Carefully analyzing the situation. Observing how the guard is slightly red and he wouldn't look at his body, he realized. "Oh, so that's it. I'm naked. Hehe-hehe.."
Getting into the city was very hard. Aside from the unpenetratable defense of the wall, there were also guards stationed to every part of the wall. But to the mythical foreigner, it was a piece of cake. He vanished in a blink of eye, dumbfounding the guard in sight. The poor human should think he saw a ghost. It was not long he realized he was buck-naked and his crossbow vanished.
The saber-in-a-human-form landed on top of a roof with a new outfit. He clutched his jacket and rested the crossbow on his shoulder as he walked cooly and silently as the breeze. He sommersaulted in air as he landed on the street.
The city is as busy even during the night. Various food stalls lined every side of the street, producing warm smoke and pleasant aroma. He walked to a barbeque stall and was immediately fascinated by the display of food. He gulped. What millenia is it since I last ate? He can't help but to grab a stick of meat and took a bite.
His eyes literally glowed as bright as the moon. "Mmm... nom nom nom..."
"Hey, you should try digging it with the sauce." The vendor offered hot chili sauce.
He dipped the meat then grabbed a bite. His eyes lit up once more and chewed the meat faster and faster clearly proving it was his first time eating such food. He finished one stick in two bites and grabbed another one. Like a wolf starving for weeks, he chomped down the whole stall out of barbeque.
"*burp... That was delicious."
"Really? You have to pay fifty silver coins for all those."
"speechless.. sorry I'm deaf."
