Chapter 769 Sword Stone
The scene fell silent.
Only the white jade gate of Yaoguang Sacred Ground flickered with divine light, revealing various terrifying patterns and emitting a humming sound.
Everyone was stunned.
Because such a scene was too unexpected,
The Blade Demon was spared by Lin Feng, yet died at Elder Wang’s hands…
Lin Feng’s expression was very calm,
He watched the spiritual light rain in the sky, then looked at Wang Yue’s cold expression, his eyes flickering with unreadable thoughts.
“He did not deserve death!”
Jiang Yanxi couldn’t help but speak up.
“This is our Sacred Ground’s internal affair, fairy need not say more…”
Wang Yue waved his hand dismissively, then smiled and said:
“Honored guests, please follow me into the Sacred Ground!”
Jiang Yanxi looked at Senior Brother, while Senior Brother looked at Lin Feng…
“Boom!”
Lin Feng punched a hole in a distant blue peak, then grabbed the blade fragments and Blade Demon’s remains, burying them in the hole.
This was a show of respect for a blade fanatic…
“Let’s go!”
Lin Feng uttered one word and took the lead!
Without realizing it,
He had become the backbone of the three!
Once upon a time, when he first left the mountain, Second Sister descended powerfully to shield him from the many martial families of Great Xia. Later, Senior Brother appeared at Kunlun to protect his path, slaying great cultivators from the Spirit Realm forces.
All that has passed!
He was now strong enough, no longer needing his senior siblings’ protection…
The three followed Wang Yue, striding toward the interior of Yaoguang Sacred Ground. A group of disciples watched their retreating figures, unable to come to their senses for a long time…
Changes were coming!
The appearance of several disciples from the Qingyun sect would trigger many unpredictable events!
…
Yaoguang Sacred Ground was situated among mountain ranges,
Misty qi enveloped the mountains, divine beasts roared,
Jade pavilions and palaces could be seen everywhere,
The cultivators coming and going were all powerful, some practicing techniques as rainbows through the mountains, others sitting quietly under pine trees in meditation.
Forget about their strength, just the cultivation atmosphere alone was enviable.
“Yaoguang Sacred Ground truly deserves its status as a top force in the Spirit Realm!”
Jiang Yanxi muttered.
Everything she had seen and felt along the way surprised her,
As the direct daughter of the Jiang family, she thought she had seen it all, but coming here today made her realize she was just a frog in a well!
“One Temple, Two Sects, Three Gates, Western Clans, Five Sacred Grounds… these are the fifteen top forces in the Spirit Realm, ranked without particular order, and Yaoguang Sacred Ground is one of the Five Sacred Grounds!”
Senior Brother explained quietly.
Unlike Jiang Yanxi and Lin Feng,
He had been to the Spirit Realm before and was quite familiar with many things there.
“You mean there are fourteen other forces that are no worse than Yaoguang Sacred Ground?”
Jiang Yanxi was shocked.
“Correct! But these matters don’t concern us much. For this Spirit Realm journey, our task is simply to visit Yaoguang Sacred Ground!”
Senior Brother replied.
What a bunch of country bumpkins!
Hearing their conversation, Wang Yue’s eyes flashed with an unseen sneer.
He instinctively turned to look at Lin Feng, hoping to see some surprise on his face, but saw that Lin Feng had stopped in front of a huge rock…
Sword Stone?
Wang Yue’s expression changed, and he quickly stepped forward with a smile:
“Oh? Is Brother Lin interested in this stone?”
“Nothing much, just felt something strange about this stone!”
Lin Feng replied calmly.
When he just passed by this huge stone, his natal sword actually trembled slightly, transmitting a trace of excited emotion, which was very strange!
Although his natal sword had been nurtured by him for a long time, it had only just reached the level of a spirit treasure, let alone developing consciousness!
The only explanation was:
The natal sword encountered a substance attractive enough to trigger an instinctive reaction.
“Brother Lin truly lives up to being heaven’s chosen one, with extraordinary perception! This huge stone is known as the Sword Stone within our Sacred Ground…”
Wang Yue said with a smile.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to lie, but this matter wasn’t a secret within Yaoguang Sacred Ground, so he simply told the truth.
“Sword Stone?”
Lin Feng’s eyes flickered.
“Years ago, our Sacred Ground had a world-class sword cultivator. He learned swordsmanship from childhood, created his own sword way, never lost to peers in battle, and finally at the Great Perfection realm, at the age of hundred, entered rank nineteen on the Genius List!”
While saying these words,
Wang Yue’s expression became very serious.
Because only Spirit Realm cultivators would understand what it meant to rank nineteenth on the Genius List at the Great Perfection realm.
He, Wang Yue, had reached Late Tribulation realm at a thousand years old, was called Little Wang Teng, and was considered one in ten thousand talents, yet had only just squeezed into rank twenty on the Genius List!
In fact,
There was even an element of luck involved!
Because the previous rank twenty genius had mysteriously disappeared, fate unknown…
“That sword cultivator was named Nie Ge. He went mad from the sword way, causing great slaughter in the Spirit Realm, and was finally killed in battle when many forces’ experts joined to surround him.”
“Before his death, he condensed his lifetime of sword way into one strike, merging it into this stone, which was brought back by the Sacred Lord… This stone has now been placed here for five thousand years!”
Wang Yue said with a smile.
Hearing these words,
Li Changye and Jiang Yanxi felt something was amiss,
A stone containing a sword cultivator’s lifetime of sword way would be a supreme treasure, how could it be casually placed here?
In fact,
When the Yaoguang Sacred Lord brought this stone back that year, he also treated it as a treasure, hoping to nurture another powerful sword cultivator,
But the sword way within this stone was too terrifying,
So those heaven-chosen talents who came to comprehend the sword way either died or were injured, some geniuses even had their sea of consciousness directly pierced by the sword intent, becoming idiots…
Even,
The Sacred Son of Yaoguang Sacred Ground had once tried to comprehend this stone, and also failed miserably, losing a large portion of his foundation, becoming an ordinary cultivator from then on…
After countless tragic lessons,
The Sacred Ground’s leadership completely lost heart, throwing the Sword Stone here as decoration, and strictly ordered disciples not to randomly try comprehending the Sword Stone…
“I heard that Brother Lin is also a sword cultivator?”
At this moment, Wang Yue suddenly asked with a smile.
Lin Feng looked at Wang Yue, silent.
“The Sword Stone is a supreme treasure, especially for sword cultivators. If Brother Lin can comprehend the sword way within this stone, not only will your strength increase, but it will also make the Sacred Lord think highly of you!”
Wang Yue said smilingly.
“Is that so?”
Lin Feng walked closer and touched the Sword Stone, immediately feeling a sharp pain in his palm. When he opened it, his previously flawless palm was now covered in wounds and blood…
This was injury from the invisible sword intent within the Sword Stone…
“This sword way can actually wound my true body!”
A glint flashed through Lin Feng’s eyes.
“I forgot to tell Brother Lin, although this Sword Stone is a supreme treasure, one must be very careful when comprehending it to avoid backlash…”
Wang Yue stepped forward to “kindly” remind.
Implying that as long as one was careful, there would be no problem, no danger would arise.
“You go ahead with the visit, I’ll try comprehending this for a while!”
Lin Feng looked at Senior Brother and Second Sister.
“Little Junior Brother, something’s not right. How could such a sword way treasure be thrown here like garbage? There must be unknown secrets!”
Jiang Yanxi said quietly.
Lin Feng shook his head slightly.
He naturally knew things weren’t so simple,
But this was a good opportunity to upgrade his natal sword. If he could merge with the sword way within this stone, his natal sword might leap to become a superior spirit treasure, or even supreme spirit treasure!
With his personality, he couldn’t pass up this opportunity!
Thinking of this,
Lin Feng directly walked to the Sword Stone and sat down cross-legged.
And the moment he sat down,
Large masses of dark clouds began gathering in the sky, as if some forbidden object had emerged, triggering heaven’s fury!
At the same time,
“Boom!”
The ancient and plain Sword Stone trembled slightly, radiating brilliant light, as terrifying sword qi leaked out one strand after another, cutting the surrounding space into countless pieces,
Finally,
These sword qi transformed into a huge sword shadow hanging above Lin Feng’s head, stabbing straight down!
At the critical moment,
A layer of sacred light barrier appeared on Lin Feng’s body, blocking this sword strike!
“Bang!”
The intense clash between sword and barrier shook half of Yaoguang Sacred Ground, drawing the attention of countless Sacred Ground disciples!
“What’s happening? What’s going on!”
“That… that is? My heavens, someone is trying to comprehend the Sword Stone? Are they tired of living?”
“What? Comprehending the Sword Stone? Which self-important fool thinks their talent is amazing and dares to try comprehending Ancestor Nie Ge’s sword way?”
The disciples were shocked.Everyone hurried towards where the sword stone was located.
