# Chapter 47 — The Sword Below
# Lower Underground Passage — Beneath the Sealed Hall
The deeper the group descended—
the heavier the pressure beca.
Not spiritual pressure.
Sword pressure.
---
A faint invisible sharpness filled the tunnel itself now.
Every cultivator could feel it.
Like countless unseen blades brushing against their skin continuously.
---
Several guards already had small cuts across their arms despite nothing physically touching them.
---
Lin Hao stared at one of the cuts blankly.
“The AIR is attacking us now?”
Xu Yuan calmly answered:
“That appears to be happening.”
“I miss normal danger.”
---
Even Zhao Tianhe’s expression remained serious now.
Because this sword intent was ancient beyond imagination.
Not sothing current cultivators should encounter.
---
The black soul sword at Xu Yuan’s waist vibrated continuously now.
HUMMMMM.
Almost excited.
---
anwhile—
Xia Yu quietly walked beside Xu Yuan while holding her sword tightly.
Unlike the others—
her expression remained unusually focused.
---
Because the deeper they descended—
the clearer the sword intent beca to her.
Not hostile.
Calling.
---
Then suddenly—
the tunnel opened into another underground world.
---
Everyone stopped moving instantly.
---
A massive underground abyss stretched before them.
Countless ancient stone platforms floated in darkness while silver rivers of spiritual energy flowed through empty space like stars.
And at the center of the abyss—
stood a sword.
---
No.
Not standing.
Floating.
---
An ancient silver sword hovered silently above the abyss while countless broken chains surrounded it from every direction.
The sword itself emitted endless sword intent naturally.
The pressure filling the underground world originated from it alone.
---
Several cultivators imdiately coughed blood from the overwhelming aura.
Even Zhao Tianhe’s breathing beca heavier.
---
Xu Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly.
Because unlike the black soul sword—
this silver sword radiated pure killing power.
Absolute.
Ancient.
Cold.
---
Then unexpectedly—
Xia Yu took one unconscious step forward.
Her sword trembled faintly at her waist.
---
The silver floating sword reacted instantly.
SHIIIIING!
A pulse of sword intent exploded across the abyss.
---
BOOOOOOM!
The underground world shook violently.
Several cultivators were forced backward imdiately.
---
Xia Yu herself froze slightly afterward.
Because for one brief mont—
she heard a voice inside her mind.
> “Finally.”
---
Her pupils contracted slightly.
---
Xu Yuan imdiately noticed her reaction.
“What happened?”
Xia Yu remained silent briefly before answering quietly:
“…The sword spoke.”
---
Instant silence followed.
---
One elder imdiately denied it.
“Impossible.”
“No weapon should possess awareness after so many years.”
---
Then the floating silver sword suddenly released another pulse.
This ti—
the entire abyss illuminated.
And countless sword marks beca visible across the surrounding walls.
Millions of them.
Every direction.
Every surface.
Every inch of space.
---
Lin Hao stared upward blankly.
“…Soone underground was extrely angry.”
---
Even under terrifying pressure—
his comnts sohow remained consistent.
---
Then suddenly—
the black soul sword at Xu Yuan’s waist rose into the air by itself.
---
SHING!
Dark light spread across the abyss while the silver sword responded imdiately afterward.
The two ancient weapons began resonating violently.
---
The underground world trembled harder.
---
The system screen flickered rapidly before Xu Yuan.
> Ancient weapon resonance detected
>
> Compatibility increasing
---
Then—
for the first ti—
the floating silver sword slowly turned.
Directly toward Xia Yu.
---
And the voice echoed inside her mind once more.
Much clearer this ti.
> “Sword Bearer.”
