Chapter 1074: Chapter 1072: Deception (Second Update)
“Which two kinds?”
“Mortal Sword. Sword of Transcendence. A Mortal Sword is a weapon without life, without a soul, it’s cold and unfeeling. But the Sword of Transcendence has spirit, has thought.”
“The Sword of Transcendence has spirit and thought? Isn’t that just like a human?” Su Chen’s eyes flickered.
“Indeed, the Sword of Transcendence is no different from a human, except its body is a sword. The sword spirit before you is the spirit of a Sword of Transcendence. Humans have bodies and Divine Souls. The Sword of Transcendence also has a blade and a sword spirit. Understand?”
“Understood!” Su Chen nodded heavily, “Is the Sword of Transcendence powerful?”
“Powerful, absolutely powerful. If you were to wield a Sword of Transcendence now, it could at least double your combat power!!!”
“What?” Su Chen was astonished, “Is a sword really that terrifying?”
“What do you think? The Sword of Transcendence is naturally extrely frightening. Do you know, even in the Grand Cosmos World, few possess a Sword of Transcendence.”
Su Chen swallowed hard, “Jiuyou, if I were to obtain this sword spirit before , does it an…”
“Don’t even think about it. You are not qualified to conquer or ta the spirit of a Sword of Transcendence. The Sword of Transcendence has its own spirit and thought, they are exceedingly proud with high standards, they definitely will not follow soone like you, who is too weak right now.”
“Ahem…” Su Chen felt a bit embarrassed.
And at that very mont.
“You, co here.” Within the cave, more accurately at the cave’s end, a voice suddenly sounded.
“Who?” Su Chen was startled, then his eyes trembled, “Sword… sword spirit?”
This voice must be the sword spirit!
“You, co here.” That voice was exceptionally cold, without any commanding tone, yet also devoid of any pleading tone, just distant and indifferent.
“Young boy Su, be careful.” Jiuyou cautioned, extrely cautious, understanding what a Sword of Transcendence’s spirit signifies? Moreover, knowing that the sword spirit absolutely will not regard soone like Su Chen now, hence, it might be a trick.
Su Chen squinted slightly, extrely wary, as he walked step by step towards the end of the cave.
It took a full stick of incense’s ti for Su Chen to reach the end of the cave, arriving before the web of the thousand-layer formation, to truly and clearly see the sword spirit.
The sword spirit was indeed a spirit, composed of soul power, resembling a burning aura, thinly shrouded, yet exuding an extrely sharp and chilling sensation.
“Save .” The sword spirit spoke again.
“Ah?” Su Chen was greatly shocked, but quickly cald down, “Predecessor, you jest, the binding of the thousand-layer formation, I cannot save you.”
“You have mastered Sword Rhy!” The sword spirit seed to see through Su Chen, speaking.
“Yes.” Su Chen did not deny it.
“With Sword Rhy, you can break open this thousand-layer formation.” The sword spirit said.
“What?” Su Chen’s eyes flickered.
“Back then, before Lin He died, he left this thousand-layer formation, its original intention was not to forever trap .” The sword spirit continued.
“What? Before Lin He died?” Su Chen gulped, if not mistaken, this Lin He ntioned by the sword spirit is the Old Ancestor of Cloud Sword Sect.
After all, He Shoudao ntioned that this sword spirit was left by the Old Ancestor of Cloud Sword Sect.
Wasn’t it said that this Old Ancestor of Cloud Sword Sect ascended to the Advanced Martial Plane? How did he die?
“Before Lin He died, he used a blinding technique. Making everyone in Cloud Sword Sect believe he ascended, not died. Back then, when Lin He passed away, the Cloud Sword Sect was still very weak, Lin He was the spiritual faith of everyone in Cloud Sword Sect. He couldn’t die, even if truly dead, it’s an ascension.”
“Continue, predecessor.”
“Before Lin He died, he sealed with the thousand-layer formation, and this formation can only be broken by Sword Rhy, designed so that one day a swordsman who comprehends Sword Rhy would find and rescue , thus I would follow this person, without disgracing myself.” The sword spirit said again.
So, this thousand-layer formation was not a prison, but a test.
Su Chen understood, yet did not lose composure, did not directly break the thousand-layer formation; who knows if the sword spirit is lying?
The sword spirit is terrifying without doubt, Su Chen must ensure his own safety, can’t be fooled into breaking the formation, or the first to die might be himself.
Thus, calmness.
Must stay calm.
Even facing the temptation of obtaining this sword spirit, remain calm.
“Your state of mind is quite good.” The sword spirit praised, “You don’t believe ?”
“It’s not disbelief. It’s just not one hundred percent belief.”
“Acquiring , your sword will be several tis sharper.”
Su Chen remained silent, unmoving for a long ti.
“What will make you believe ?” The sword spirit seed a bit anxious, finally a trace of emotion in its voice.
“Nothing will make believe.” Su Chen laughed.
Humans are inherently greedy.
But sotis, one must truly restrain their greed.
This sword spirit, once released, might allow a swift ascent, but may also release a demon.
Su Chen dared not fight, nor did he want to fight.
“You…” The Sword Spirit seed angry: “Your Sword Rhy is unyielding. Yet you’re afraid?”
“The more anxious and angry you beco, the more I feel you’re untrustworthy.” Su Chen beca more composed.
The Sword Spirit fell silent.
Su Chen bowed: “Senior, I am leaving now.”
Learning the Sword Technique deduced by the Sword Spirit was impossible. After all, he was unwilling to break through the layers of the formation and release the Sword Spirit, which had already offended the Sword Spirit. There was no way the Sword Spirit would expose any Sword Techniques for him to learn anymore.
Then.
Su Chen turned around.
He was indeed about to leave.
“Boy, wait a mont.” The Sword Spirit spoke directly: “What will it take for you to believe ?”
“Jiuyou, is there any way to absolutely guarantee my safety?” Su Chen communicated with Jiuyou. If he could be 100% safe and still obtain the Sword Spirit, he would naturally be pleased.
“No.”
Su Chen was sowhat disappointed.
But then, Jiuyou continued: “However, you can be flexible. You can take away the prison along with this Thousand-Layer Formation. When one day you have the strength to ensure your safety, then break open this Thousand-Layer Formation and release the Sword Spirit for your use.”
“A good thod, only it’s a pity that I cannot use this Sword Spirit for now.” Su Chen nodded, quite regretfully.
“No need to feel regret, for the ti being, you are too weak. Even if this Sword Spirit was truly not lying and really at your disposal, you would find it difficult to use.” Jiuyou comforted: “If this Sword Spirit enters your Ancient Dust Sword, the Ancient Dust Sword would imdiately beco a Sword of Transcendence, but for you now, using it once might nearly kill you.”
Su Chen nodded, then he said solemnly: “Senior, may I take away the entire Thousand-Layer Formation with ?”
“You are very smart and also very cautious.” The Sword Spirit was silent for a mont, then spoke, not knowing whether it was in praise or annoyance.
“So, does the senior agree or not?”
“Agreed.” The Sword Spirit said, and then its voice grew louder: “Little Mu, co in!!!”
Soon.
Old Mu walked in.
Standing beside Su Chen.
Old Mu was extrely reverent and respectful, and also excited.
The corner of Su Chen’s mouth twitched, calling Old Mu “Little Mu”, given Old Mu’s age of at least several million years, if even he’s a “Little Mu”, then what am I?
“Little Mu, I’m going to leave with him.” The Sword Spirit was straightforward.
Old Mu’s face dramatically changed.
Then, Old Mu directly knelt on the ground: “You… Have I done sothing wrong?”
“The one I’ve been waiting for has arrived.” The Sword Spirit had few words, then it looked at Su Chen: “Take and the formation together.”
Su Chen nodded, without any courtesy, directly collecting it.
Together with the formation and the Sword Spirit, they vanished all at once.
Entered into Su Chen’s Azure Mysterious Ring.
“Letting the wolf into the house, letting the wolf into the house, letting the wolf into the house!” Old Mu deeply stared at Su Chen, wishing to smash Su Chen with a palm: “Bla , yes! Bla !!! You comprehended Sword Rhy, being chosen by it is logical. This old one should not have let you in!”
“Old Mu, can you tell about the Sword Spirit senior?”
“No.” Old Mu, heartbroken to the point of bleeding, how could he be in the mood: “Boy, you must rember, you owe the Cloud Sword Sect an enormous kindness! All the sect masters of the Cloud Sword Sect combined are not as valuable as the Sword Spirit senior!”
“Ahem… It was the Sword Spirit senior who insisted on following .”
“Shut up!” Old Mu’s aged body trembled, shouted, to get a cheap favor and act modest, truly shaful.
“Old Mu, no matter what, you should thank . I took the Sword Spirit senior away, henceforth, you as the Forbidden Area Old Man, are free.”
“That’s true.” The Forbidden Area Old Man was silent for a mont, then sighed, nodding.
“Old Mu, since you are free, why not follow for a walk?” Su Chen’s eyes flickered as he conceived another idea. This Old Mu was a super strong expert; according to Su Chen’s guess, Old Mu’s strength was likely at the ultimate level of the Eternal Dominion Realm, a super old monster indeed!
“Follow you for a walk?” Old Mu deeply stared at Su Chen, for a long ti, then scolded: “Boy, are you trying to have the old man act as a bodyguard and protect you? Quite a plan. If it were a million years ago, perhaps this old one would have really, to enjoy the scenery, followed you. But now, within the entire Ningtian Continent, there is nothing and no one that can stir up interest in this old one.”
“Old Mu, I am not a person of Ningtian Continent, but from another Middle Martial Plane.” Su Chen said with a smile.
“What?” Old Mu’s eyes lit up: “Really?”
“Really.”
Old Mu fell silent, now truly intrigued.
He had lived all his life and had never left the Ningtian Continent.
“By the way, Old Mu, don’t you want to see the day when the Sword Spirit senior shows its brilliance again?” Su Chen continued to cajole.
