Chapter 73: Dormant fragment of consciousness
.
Over the millennia since then, the artifact had chosen a new bearer every few generations,
someone who showed a certain kind of talent, whether it was in cultivation, martial arts, or one of the many secondary professions.
Thanks to this connection, every so often, someone with extraordinary talent would be born into the Han family, marked by the artifact's own consciousness.
This continued for countless generations, until thirty five years ago, when a new descendant was born and chosen by the weapon's consciousness.
Everyone believed that this child would go on to develop immense talent in cultivation, or maybe in blacksmithing, the family's main trade,
but it soon became clear that none of those things were going to happen.
The descendant turned out to have no special talent at all, and so the opportunity to be chosen by the weapon was wasted in that generation.
Along with it, the hopes of the Han family were shattered.
