Chapter 597: Sacred Tool!
“Elder Ancestor, I’m not afraid of being led astray by you. I’m willing to learn…”
With a frustrated expression, Su Yi contemplated the inheritance of the elder ancestor of the Divine Sword School. Judging from his message, the elder ancestor had later delved into blade techniques but found it difficult to surpass the way of the sword. This meant that the elder ancestor’s achievements in the way of the blade were undoubtedly on par with his mastery of the sword—it was simply a matter of preference.
The elder ancestor of the Divine Sword School had intentionally chosen not to leave behind such an inheritance, which left Su Yi somewhat disheartened.
However, he didn’t dwell on it too much. After all, he had survived a great ordeal and obtained the Terrifying Star Blade. This kind of opportunity was not inferior to the Red Dragon Sword obtained by Yun Lingfeng. Su Yi was content with what he had.
As he reflected on the elder ancestor’s life, he was astonished.
Obsessed with the sword throughout his life, the elder ancestor began martial arts training at the age of three and sword practice at five. By thirteen, he had no match among his peers, and at fifteen, he achieved comprehension in the way of the sword. By thirty, he was renowned across the continent, and by forty, he had stepped into the realm of top-tier experts. It was then that he established the Divine Sword School, which remained formidable in the Central Region.
Later, he diverted his focus to blade techniques, yet his achievements were no lesser than those in the way of the sword.
During the refining process of the Red Dragon Sword and the Terrifying Star Blade, an unforeseen disaster was provoked, proving their exceptional level. Only divine weapons could attract such a calamity.
Finally, the elder ancestor of the Divine Sword School resisted the calamity with just three simple words: “I’ll withstand it.” These words alone were enough for Su Yi to imagine the immense danger and dominance involved.
Having personally experienced tribulations, Su Yi naturally understood how perilous they could be.
With the completion of the Red Dragon Sword and the Terrifying Star Blade, the founder of the Divine Sword School could no longer suppress the demonic sword technique, fearing his own descent into darkness. Reluctant to destroy the way of the sword, he ultimately sealed his sword technique within the Red Dragon Sword and established the Divine Sword Valley, using the Terrifying Star Blade to suppress it.
But as the saying goes, “For every inch the road rises, the devil rises three meters.” The founder feared unforeseen circumstances in the future. The most powerful members of the Divine Sword School would eventually reach their limits and enter this place to assist in suppressing the divine weapon Red Dragon. However, with the opening of the Divine Sword Valley, everything had ultimately come to this…
Su Yi pondered the strange sword bodies and skeletons encountered in the Divine Sword Valley. No wonder he had felt the presence of demonic energy. It was likely that they had all been influenced by the demonic sword technique within the divine weapon Red Dragon. The overwhelming demonic energy he sensed when he tried to seize the sword was also from the demonic sword technique within it.
Regardless, Su Yi believed the founder of the Divine Sword School was undoubtedly a formidable figure, incredibly strong.
To dominate the world at thirty and step into the ranks of the top experts at forty—creating a school that remained unshakable to this day—was truly extraordinary!
A glimmer of crimson light flickered in Su Yi’s determined gaze.
The founder had already dominated the world at thirty and entered the ranks of top experts at forty, showcasing peerless brilliance. Though Su Yi dared not compare himself to the founder, with his possession of the Supreme Chaotic Yuan Technique and the mysterious space, as well as his identities as a user of the Divine Demonic Ancient Verse and a Soul Tamer, he too had the ability to contend.
At the very least, despite his short time in cultivation, it was already difficult to find opponents among his peers. He was one step closer to setting foot on the Sacred Mountain!
“Terrifying Star Blade!”
Su Yi’s eyes flickered as his mind stirred. The dormant Terrifying Star Blade in his consciousness surged, and with a single thought, it instantly appeared before him.
Having never obtained such a treasure before, Su Yi was greatly surprised and curious. As he gazed at the Terrifying Star Blade, it shimmered with a constant radiance of stars, flowing with celestial energy.
The divine weapon was entirely made of purple-gold, its hilt adorned with celestial patterns, and its blade carved with ancient runes. The edge of the blade stood tall, exuding an imposing aura akin to a towering cliff.
“What a magnificent blade!”
Su Yi’s eyes trembled, and his heart surged. The Terrifying Star Blade possessed both vitality and dominance, seamlessly blending fierce sharpness with profound mystery.
Floating in mid-air, it radiated a dazzling light. The stars embedded in the blade revolved, illuminating the eerie void as if a galaxy had descended.
“This divine weapon seems to have reached the level of a Sacred Tool. Your luck is pretty good, kid,” Ling Qianxue’s voice echoed in Su Yi’s ears.
“Sacred Tool!”
Su Yi’s heart pounded in shock. The hierarchy of weapons consisted of Yuan Weapon, Xuan Weapon, Spirit Weapon, Dao Tool, Dharma Tool, and then the rumored Sacred Tool.
Spirit Weapons were already imbued with spirits, while Dao Tools had attained a spiritual connection. Dharma Tools were said to have gained sentience.
But a Sacred Tool…
It was said that when a Sacred Tool appeared, the heavens and earth changed color, mountains and rivers trembled, and it possessed the power to move mountains, part seas, and cut through the void!
“This Sacred Tool is not at full power yet. Perhaps, for some reason, it hasn’t truly awakened. However, you must be cautious. Once someone learns that you possess a Sacred Tool, it will bring endless pursuit. Even hidden experts will emerge to claim it. At that time, whether you have one life or ten thousand, survival may be impossible,” Ling Qianxue warned.
“Thank you.”
Su Yi clicked his tongue, but deep down, he understood the saying: “Carrying jade invites calamity.”
Who wouldn’t be envious of a Sacred Tool? If news of his possession spread, he would become the primary target of countless enemies.
“No need to thank me. If you die, it will be troublesome for me. So stay alive and be cautious.”
Ling Qianxue’s voice carried a hint of indignation. At this moment, no one could truly know her thoughts. This human boy was too mysterious and full of secrets. His strength had already surpassed countless peers. Now, with a Sacred Tool in his possession, given enough time, he could become a terrifying figure among the human race.
For the demonic clan, this was not necessarily a good thing.
“Don’t worry. I will definitely stay alive.”
Su Yi shrugged, then waved his hand and grasped the Terrifying Star Blade. Suddenly, a mysterious and ancient aura surged through his body along his palm.
At the same time, an overwhelming presence rushed into Su Yi’s mind. His head spun as if he stood amidst a vast galaxy, surrounded by countless stars and a shimmering full moon.
“What an incredible blade. A blessing in disguise!”
Snapping back to his senses, Su Yi chuckled. Losing the Red Dragon Sword—which contained the demonic sword’s path—didn’t seem so bad after all. The Terrifying Star Blade suited him better.
Besides, the broken sword he carried was also extraordinary. Though it couldn’t compare to a Sacred Tool, it undoubtedly had a significant origin.
Now, with both a sword and a blade of great renown, Su Yi felt deeply satisfied.
“This Sacred Tool has yet to awaken completely. How can it be fully restored? Treasures need owners—how can I make this divine blade recognize me as its master?”
