“A void sword? How is that possible.”
Zhang Ruochen was naturally quite surprised, how could he not expect that the Yuan Long Half-Saint giving out a defective Saint Sword actually had such a huge origin.
The name of the Thousand Bone Empress had been recited for 100,000 years in the Kunlun Realm, leaving behind countless legends.
The sword she used was naturally also famous for ten thousand years.
According to the historical records above, the Void Sword was a supreme saint artefact level battle weapon, extremely powerful, capable of chopping up rivers and shattering the Ruins Realm.
Generally, cultivators only knew that Saint Weapons were divided into Hundred Stripe Saint Weapons, Thousand Stripe Saint Weapons, and Ten Thousand Stripe Saint Weapons.
However, few people knew that above the Ten Thousand Lines Saint Weapons, there was also the existence of Supreme Saint Weapons.
A Thousand Stripe Saint Artifact could become the clan-suppressing treasure of a Saint Sect, intimidating the eight directions so that other forces would not dare to easily offend.
A Saint Body of the Ninth Transformation of the Fish Dragon, holding a Thousand Lines Saint Artifact, would be able to call the shots of weaker Half-Saints.
The power of a Supreme Saint Weapon was many times more powerful than a Thousand Lines Saint Weapon, and in the entire Kunlun Realm, it was estimated that there were only so many dozens of them.
It was said that the Two Yi Sect’s treasure, the Heaven and Earth Sword, was only two top-tier Ten Thousand Stripes Sacred Artifacts. Only when the Heavenly Sword and Earthly Sword were combined together and performed the Yin Yang Two Yi Sword Formation could they compete with the Supreme Saint Artifact.
Even so, both the Heavenly Sword and the Earth Sword were infinitely powerful and had been stained with the blood of more than one Great Saint.
Historically, the several great catastrophes that the Two Element Sect had experienced, it was almost always by virtue of the Heavenly Sword and Earthly Sword that they were able to kill off their powerful enemies and keep the sect able to continue their legacy.
Obviously, the Void Sword was definitely more powerful than the Heavenly Sword and the Earth Sword, and was a genuine Supreme Sacred Artifact.
If, Yuan Long Half-Saint knew that he had given a Supreme Saint Artifact, to Zhang Ruochen, he didn’t know if he would be infuriated alive?
“Zhang Ruochen, where exactly is that Medieval Ruin?”
Xiao Hei’s emotions, appeared to be quite agitated, revealing two sharp fangs, and his eyes were covered with blood above them
Zhang Ruochen said, “The Void Sword was given to me by the Yuan Long Half-Saint, if you want to know where that Middle Ancient Ruins is, you can only go ask him.”
“Even if I ask him, he definitely won’t answer me and will instead expose the Void Sword. Are you playing with me?”Little Black was a bit annoyed.
Zhang Ruochen, on the contrary, appeared calm as his gaze once again stared at the white holy sword and said, “This sword is so ordinary and covered in rust, how can it be the legendary Void Sword? It’s better for me to test it.”
Zhang Ruochen took Xiao Hei and the white holy sword with him and entered the world of picture scrolls.
Immediately after, he took out the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword, and using all his strength, he violently slashed down towards the White Sacred Sword.
“Boom!”
The two swords struck each other with an ear-splitting sound.
The powerful impact caused the White Holy Sword to sink into the ground.
Zhang Ruochen picked the White Holy Sword back up and found that the rust on the surface of the sword body had completely fallen off, revealing the bright snow-white sword body.
What was even more unbelievable was that the white Holy Sword was actually intact after taking the blow from the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword.
Originally, Zhang Ruochen was still somewhat unconvinced that this was the Void Sword, but now he was a little more convinced.
Little Black stood not far away and laughed coldly, “Don’t waste your efforts, with the current grade of the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword, how could it possibly hurt the Void Sword.”
Zhang Ruochen’s gaze, stared towards the fat cat and said, “So what if the Void Sword? How much power can a sword that has lost its sword spirit still exert?”
“The sword spirit of the Void Sword is only in deep slumber, it’s not like it’s completely extinct. As long as the sword spirit can be awakened, it will immediately return to the grade of a supreme holy weapon, sweeping away all holy swords in the Kunlun Realm.”Xiao Hei .Dao.
“Do you know how one can awaken the sword spirit of the Void Sword?”Zhang Ruochen said.
Little Black thought for a moment and said, “The sword spirit of the Void Sword is formed by a will condensed from the blood of the Thousand Bone Empress. Cold Snow has the same physique as the Thousand Bones Empress, so with her blood, she might be able to awaken the sword spirit of the Void Sword.”
Zhang Ruochen stopped asking more questions and put the Void Sword away for the time being, it would not be too late to wait until Cold Snow returned from her training before trying to awaken the sword spirit in the sword.
“There’s still roughly half a month to go before the first day of next month, so it’s a good time to make use of this time to raise my cultivation some more.”
On the first day of next month, the Ancient God Mountain would be open to Sacred Transmission disciples for another day.
Zhang Ruochen had already cultivated Sword One to the ninth level of the realm, so naturally, he was going to break into the third mountain. As long as he climbed to the top of the mountain, he would be able to collect the holy water from the third holy spring.
By borrowing the holy water from the third holy spring, Zhang Ruochen would have full confidence in cultivating Sword One to the tenth layer of the Great Perfection Realm before the qualifying round.
Zhang Ruochen also collected a bottle of Xuanwu Sacred Blood from the Green Flame Xuanwu’s body.
In the Fish Dragon Fourth Transformation, Zhang Ruochen had refined a total of three drops of Xuanwu Sacred Blood before he had raised his cultivation from the early stage, to the peak.
Now, if he wanted to raise his cultivation from the early stage of the Fish Dragon Fifth Transformation, to the peak, he would definitely need to refine more Xuanwu Sacred Blood.
Of course with his current cultivation level, the speed of refining Xuanwu Sacred Blood would definitely be much faster than before.
Four months had passed in the twinkling of an eye in the Scroll World.
Zhang Ruochen had refined four drops of Xuanwu Sacred Blood in a row, and his cultivation had indeed grown quite a bit more, from the early stage of the Fish Dragon Fifth Transformation to the middle stage.
“Counting the time, tomorrow should be the first day of April.”
Zhang Ruochen didn’t continue his cultivation and left the Scroll World to start adjusting his state in preparation for the challenge of the Third Heavy Mountain.
The Sword Dao Competition extravaganza had already been going on for twenty days, with only the Fish Dragon First Transformation, Second Transformation, and Third Transformation levels remaining, still at the final stage. The rest of the levels of the Sword Dao Competition had already decided on the top ten long ago.
On the first day of April, the Ancient God Mountain was indeed open again.
Compared to last month, the number of Sacred Transmission disciples who came to break through the barrier had obviously decreased by a large portion.
Zhang Ruochen had just arrived at the bottom of the Ancient God Mountain and immediately caused a huge stir. Now, almost all of the Saint Transmission disciples of the Two Element Sect all recognised him.
In the recent month, “Lin Yue” was indeed unrivalled, not only had he ascended to the second level of the Ancient God Mountain as a newly promoted Sacred Transmission Disciple, but he had also gained the favour of Qi Fayu.
During the Sword Dao Competition, he even shone with an undefeated record, gaining everyone’s recognition.
“Senior Brother Lin Yue actually came to break into the Ancient God Mountain again, could it be that he wants to impact the third mountain?”
“How is that possible? Even in the history of the Two Element Sect, in the Fish Dragon Realm, there are only a handful of Sacred Transmission disciples who have ascended to the top of the Third Heavy Mountain.”
“How is it impossible? Last month, Senior Brother Lin Yue climbed to the top of the second heavy mountain, so if he wasn’t certain of climbing to the third heavy mountain, how could he have wasted his precious time to break through the barrier?”
“That’s right. How great is Senior Brother Lin Yue’s natural talent, is it not something we can imagine?”
“I think that Senior Brother Lin Yue definitely has some certainty that he can at least break through the first level of the third mountain.”
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Zhang Ruochen easily broke through the first level of the first heavy mountain, and then, proceeded towards the top of the mountain.
Before it was even noon, all the Sacred Transmission disciples at the bottom of the mountain saw that Lin Yue had already ascended to the top of the second heavy mountain and travelled straight towards the third heavy mountain.
“Lin Yue’s speed of breaking through the barrier is even faster than last time, his strength, indeed, has risen quite a bit again.”Qi Fayu stood at the bottom of the mountain, standing beside a maple tree, her beautiful eyes looking out in the direction of the mountain top.
If Lin Yue was able to ascend to the top of the third mountain by his own strength, in that case, she would have to find a way to get rid of him, lest the Two Element Sect give birth to a second Gai Tianjiao.
Because of the stealthy means that had been cast, there were no Sacred Transmission disciples present, and no one at all knew that Qi Fayu was nearby.
……
Arriving at the foot of the third mountain, Zhang Ruochen was surprised to find that there was actually someone who had arrived one step ahead of him.
At the moment, that person was standing right below the stone wall with his hands behind his back, his body standing straight and appearing to have an extraordinary aura.
Zhang Ruochen carefully observed that person, only to see that he was unusually lanky, with an upright body, and a pair of arms that were as thick as a bucket, full of sturdy muscles.
There was still a distance of twenty feet from him, and Zhang Ruochen was able to feel an extremely fiery masculine energy emanating from his body.
His body was just like a huge furnace that people dared not approach.
Zhang Ruochen clasped his hands together and arched his hand, “Everlasting Academy, Lin Yue, meet senior.”
That big man just waved his big hand, looking heroic as he said, “Don’t call me senior, my age, is not much older than yours.”
As Zhang Ruochen was sizing up that big man, the other party was also sizing him up.
This person’s eyes, gleaming with energy, and his two pupils were like two huge flaming meteorites, containing an unrivalled and powerful force.
A single stare from his eyes could release a powerful heat that was enough to make the body of a Fish Dragon Realm cultivator with a lower cultivation level automatically burn up.
The Two Eyes Sect was indeed a hidden dragon and crouching tiger, and another peerless powerhouse had actually emerged.
This person made Zhang Ruochen feel quite dangerous as well, and he was quite fearful in his heart.
Of course, Zhang Ruochen was fearless and appeared calm as he said, “You first please, Senior Brother?”
“Senior brother?”
The corner of that big man’s mouth hooked, revealing a strange expression, and then he shook his head, saying, “I’ve long since broken through the first level of the third mountain, and honestly, the reason why I’m still staying here is entirely because I’m waiting for you.”
“Waiting for me?”
“That’s right, waiting for you. After I came out of the gate, I kept hearing people talk about how there was a Sword Dao wizard in the clan who cultivated Sword One to the ninth level of the realm, so I wanted to come and meet you.”The big man said.
It wasn’t Zhang Ruochen’s first day in the Two Eyes Sect, and he had a certain understanding of the top masters among the Sacred Transmission disciples, but this person in front of him didn’t match up with anyone in his mind.
“To be able to break through the first level of the third mountain, one shouldn’t be nameless.”Zhang Ruochen whispered to himself.
Right now, he could only guess that the big man in front of him should be a talent secretly cultivated by the Two Yi Sect.
Without further thought, Zhang Ruochen walked straight to the bottom of the thirty feet high stone wall and began to observe the writing on the stone wall.
The writing at the foot of the third mountain had become even more complex and difficult to understand, and it seemed that each word contained an infinite amount of sword dao meaning.
