Chapter 280: Sign In, [Heart Swordsmanship]!
When Su Qin broke into the Myriad Sword Island, and especially when he shouted “Sword Ancestor, get out here”, everyone in the Dark Abyss dungeon had heard it clearly.
It’s just that, even though everyone was shocked at the time, they had no other thoughts. They just thought that Su Qin was going to be suppressed by the Myriad Sword Sect soon enough, and maybe he would also end up together with them in the Dark Abyss dungeon.
However, what happened next had completely subverted everyone’s imagination.
The battle between Su Qin and Sword Ancestor did not last long, but the burst of power from it was enough to shake the entire island. The Dark Abyss was firmly established underground, so how could they not feel it?
Especially in the end, when Su Qin broke through the Nine Swords Samsara Great Array and the Sword Peaks roared. The Dark Abyss – that’s in the center – felt as if the end of the world had arrived.
Before everyone in the dungeon could digest everything that had happened, they heard the dungeon, which was made of Northern Sea Profound Nether Iron, suddenly break and entrance to the outside world had appeared.
At the entrance, was a man with a calm demeanor and a terrifying aura.
That man then stepped into the dungeon and looked at Li Wan, who was full of excitement.
“Third Uncle.”
Li Wan blinked her eyes.
She had been locked in the dungeon for a few days now. Through conversations with the other people who were also locked here, she knew what kind of an existence the Myriad Sword Sect was.
What could a Peak Legend do against the Myriad Sword Sect? Unless one had formed a Primordial Spirit like the Sword Ancestor, no one would be able to shake the Myriad Sword Sect.
Realizing this, although Li Wan still had a glimmer of hope in her heart, she was feeling doubtful. After all, no matter how strong Su Qin was, how could he beat the Myriad Sword Sect alone?
But now, looking at Su Qin standing in front of her, Li Wan felt like she was dreaming.
“Huh?”
Su Qin took a look at Li Wan and raised his brow slightly.
Su Qin had only used his Divine Sense to confirm Li Wan’s safety before, so he had not carefully checked Li Wan’s physical condition yet.
Now, after a close glance, Su Qin suddenly found something odd with Li Wan.
Before leaving Chang’an City, Li Wan was just a Grade 4 Martial Artist, but at this moment, in just a few months, Li Wan’s Cultivation Base had already skyrocketed to Grade 1.
Su Qin could see that Li Wan was brimming with Qi and blood, as well as having a solid aura. There was no sign of forcibly increasing her Cultivation Base. Apart from this, Li Wan also shockingly had a Sword Intent in her body!
This Sword Intent seemed to be the same as the Sword Intent contained in the Sword Peaks. They were obviously of common origins, and it also came from Myriad Sword.
Su Qin took a closer look and discovered that the Sword Intent in Li Wan’s body not only had no hidden dangers, it also brought her great benefits. It was helping Li Wan temper her body with True Essence all the time.
“Third Uncle.”
Li Wan then began to explain everything that had happened, after she came to the Myriad Sword Sect.
According to Li Wan, everyone at the Myriad Sword Sect didn’t do anything bad to her. Not only that, they also gave her various Spirit Fruits and Divine Pills. Finally, Li Wan was taken to an altar where Sword Intent seeped into her body…
“Third Uncle, those Great Grandpas of the Myriad Sword Sect are kind to Wan’er…” Li Wan said cautiously.
“How are you?” Su Qin thought about it and understood the purpose of the Myriad Sword Sect for doing such a thing.
Li Wan had the Sword Heart Body, one of the best bodies suited for the Sword Ancestor to possess. But since the Sword Ancestor’s Primordial Spirit was too powerful, Li Wan’s body – who was still a Grade 4 Martial Artist – wouldn’t be able to contain the power.
Therefore, the Sword Ancestor needed to improve Li Wan’s strength before he possessed her. More importantly, increasing her strength also must not have any hidden dangers. Otherwise, these hidden dangers would explode after the Sword Ancestor takes over her body. Now, wouldn’t that give the Sword Ancestor a headache if he’s not careful?
This was the reason why the Myriad Sword Sect spared no expense and let Li Wan use a variety of treasures.
It’s just that everyone in the Myriad Sword Sect didn’t expect that just when they finally increased Li Wan’s cultivation reach Peak Grade 1, Su Qin would arrive and kill the Sword Ancestor.
Li Wan, on the other hand, benefited from the whole ordeal. Basically, for her, this was all a blessing in disguise. She was able to bear the benefits of being favored by the Myriad Sword Sect, without paying any price for it.
“However, the Sword Intent in your body…” Su Qin’s eyes narrowed slightly and he carefully observed the faintly discernible Sword Intent in Li Wan.
Compared to the treasures taken by Li Wan, this Sword Intent was the most precious.
Of course, the ‘precious’ here was relative to Li Wan. For Su Qin, this Sword Intent was nothing valuable.
“Is this the inheritance left by Myriad Sword?” Su Qin touched his chin, with a thoughtful look on his face.
This Sword Intent should be the inheritance of Myriad Sword that the Sword Ancestor had comprehended from the Sword Peaks.
The Sword Ancestor had temporarily implanted it into Li Wan’s body, to prepare for the body possession.
The Sword Intent would constantly ‘remodel’ Li Wan’s body, making the process of the body possession go smoothly.
Unfortunately, the Sword Ancestor’s actions only served as a benefit for Si Qin. Otherwise, if the Sword Ancestor had this Sword Intent in his fight with Su Qin, Su Qin wouldn’t have been able to kill the other party so easily.
After all, this Sword Intent was different from the Sword Intent contained in the Sword Peaks.
The Sword Intent in the Sword Peaks had continuously nourished the Myriad Sword Island for thousands of years, and had long been worn out, hence why Su Qin easily broke through.
But this Sword Intent was well preserved. Even though some of its power had been lost over thousands of years, it was far better than the Sword Intent in the Sword Peaks.
“The Sword Intent in you is good for you.” Su Qin said to Li Wan.
“Okay.”
Li Wan also noticed the benefits of the Sword Intent in her body during this time, and quickly nodded.
As Su Qin and Li Wan talked about leaving the dungeon, the other people held in the dungeon had mustered up their courage.
They walked up to Su Qin and bowed, “Greetings, Sir.”
At this moment, the dungeon was broken and the Sword Peaks lost their suppressive effect. These people naturally recovered their strength, but none of them dared to escape the dungeon at this time.
Besides the dungeon, the originally thriving Myriad Sword Sect was also devastated, and the reason for all this was Su Qin. They had to be careful in how they acted around him.
“Third Uncle, they are all…” Li Wan whispered.
Su Qin glanced at the crowd. Among them, the strongest was an old man at the 7th Heavenly Layer. Even though he had no domain, he was still considered a Peak Legend.
“Get up.”
Su Qin slightly nodded.
“My Lord had stomped on the Myriad Sword Sect with his incredible methods. Are you perhaps the Witch King…?” The old man respectfully said.
“Witch King?”
Su Qin laughed.
The Old Taoist had already told him about all of the Earth Immortals that had appeared overseas.
Among them was the Witch King.
The Witch King comes from the Witch Sect. He had traveled to most of the Major Sects and displayed unpredictable methods. One day, he just mysteriously disappeared. It was said that he found a secret from the last prosperous era.
But no one knows what actually happened. Even to the Witch Sect itself, this subject was a taboo, and was unwilling to say anything.
“I am not the Witch King.”
Su Qin shook his head.
Although he now had the ability to escape with his life against an Earth Immortal, after all, he was not an Earth Immortal. Surviving is surviving. As for resistance or standing shoulder-to-shoulder, he was still far away.
Even a peerless Divine Art like the [Buddha’s Palm] only had a short-term effect against an Earth Immortal.
Of course, if Su Qin successfully Cultivated the [Burning Sun Divine Art] and was able to incarnate into the Three-legged Golden Crow, even if it was just a Three-legged Golden Crow chick, he would be able to sweep an Earth Immortal.
Unfortunately, Su Qin’s [Burning Sun Divine Art] was still in the early stage. He’s a long way from reaching Small Accomplishment, let alone completely Cultivating it.
“Come with me.”
Su Qin only said this, as he slowly moved towards the outside of the dungeon.
Li Wan also followed Su Qin, while the others in the dungeon glanced at each other, before gritting their teeth and followed along.
Su Qin and the others soon came to the middle Sword Peak.
This Sword Peak was the main peak among the nine Sword Peaks. It could be said to be the base of the Nine Swords Samsara Great Array. This was where the Ancestors had activated the array.
Soon, the group arrived at the top of the Sword Peak.
Even though the Nine Swords Samsara Great Array was broken by Su Qin, there was still a sharp sword energy permeating the area.
Not far away, some disciple’s corpses were slumped upside down.
When Su Qin had broken through the Nine Swords Samsara Great Array, the terrifying force almost penetrated the entire mountain. God knows how many people died from this.
“They are all dead…”
The old man and the others had been imprisoned in the Dark Abyss dungeon for a long time. They naturally hated the Myriad Sword Sect for a long time. Now that the Sect was completely destroyed, how could they not be happy?
However, with this, the old man became more wary of Su Qin’s ruthlessness and decisiveness.
The Myriad Sword Sect was a Major Sect and their disciples were no less than tens of thousands. Yet, despite having so many people die in front of them, Su Qin didn’t even flinch.
If it weren’t for the grandeur of Su Qin’s aura, the old man would have thought that Su Qin came from the Dark Source Sect, who wantonly slaughtered.
Su Qin walked all the way and soon came to a great hall.
The great hall was like a sword that was inserted upside down. It was exuding a palpitating aura.
“This should be the oldest place in the Myriad Sword Sect.”
Su Qin stopped and roughly glanced at the great hall, as he thought silently in his heart.
Whether it was Li Wan or the old man, they just stood behind Su Qin respectfully, waiting quietly.
Su Qin pondered for a while, then muttered silently in his heart:
“System, Sign In.”
