Long Tian departed from the forested area, having secured a valuable haul, which included the Crescent Blade and the coveted Ethereal Clone ability.
As he strolled along, his gaze fixated on the Crescent Blade. During his encounter with the bandit leader, he couldn't help but notice the red hue gracing its surface.
He knew that it was a Heartblade, but red was a very rare. It symbolized bloodshed, warfare, and malevolence.
A Heartblade bearing this striking red hue indicated a fall into the clutches of demons and the dark side. Typically, it resulted from profound disappointments, deep sorrows, the loss of a loved one, or unrelenting despair.
Long Tian himself had not yet awakened his own Heartblade, and its existence remained unexplained within the original plot. His curiosity was undeniable; he yearned to witness it firsthand.
Unfortunately, it required a special device, which meant he had to enter Xuantian Academy first.
