Chapter 188: Sky Extinguishing Sword
“Ding! Congratulations! The Sword Owner has obtained [Heavenly Soul] Sky Extinguishing Sword and [Gold] Truth Sword!”
Heavenly Soul!
Heavenly Soul!
Heavenly Soul!
It was important for him to roar it three times in his mind!
Zhou Xuanji’s body trembled excitedly. Glorious Gold legendary swords were already very powerful; just how powerful would I, as a Heavenly Soul legendary sword, be?
When he broke through to Astral Projection, he would be able to sweep away anyone at the Spirit Refinement Stage and shake those at Great Realization. Just how powerful would he be with a Heavenly Soul legendary sword?
He would be able to look down on everything around him!
That’s right! Only that could describe his excitement at the moment.
Following this, the two legendary swords’ information appeared in front of him:
Sword Name: Sky Extinguishing Sword
Grade: Heavenly Soul
Description: A legendary sword created when the heavens and earth were created. It can destroy the heavens and exterminate the earth and can only be used by those with Astral Projection cultivation or above!
...
Sword Name: Truth Sword
Grade: Gold
Description: Anyone who is pierced by this sword can only tell the truth.
Can only be used by those with Astral Projection cultivation or above?
Zhou Xuanji raised his eyebrows. Such a barrier won’t be a problem for me.
As for the Truth Sword, even though it had an interesting ability, he did not care much for it.
Where is the Sky Extinguishing Sword? Take it out for me to have a look at!
Zhou Xuanji said in his mind. He was bursting with anticipation to see the stunning looks of the Heavenly Soul legendary sword.
“Only when the Sword Owner reaches Astral Projection can the sword be looked at and used,” the Sword Spirit replied, leaving the fire in his heart unquenched.
As such, Zhou Xuanji, who was in a ‘great’ mood, walked towards Jiang Xue.
Jiang Xue was focused on cultivating, and he went up to tickle her, causing her to glare at him.
He chuckled before turning to harass the others.
A while later, Daoya Old Man called over Zhou Xuanji, who was walking about. He said with a serious expression, “Things are bad.”
Zhou Xuanji walked over to him and sat down, asking, “What is it?”
The red Qilin directly leapt into his embrace and affectionately rubbed against him.
“When you were born, a Qilin appeared – do you remember this?” Daoya Old Man asked as he frowned, a trace of killing intent appearing in his eyes.
Zhou Xuanji stroked the red Qilin in his arms and asked, “Could it be that this little fellow is the son of that Qilin from back then?”
“That’s right, Emperor Yan of Zhou hunted down that Qilin and took its Qilin’s tendons. Before that Qilin died, it sent this little fellow near us; by now, it has already turned to dust.”
Daoya Old Man’s reply caused Zhou Xuanji’s to frown. Emperor Yan of Zhou’s actions were a bit too cruel.
If this matter was spread, what would the common people say?
“When you were born, that Qilin came to bless you. Your serendipity has already been linked, and the reason that you have been so lucky these years and have been able to escape from death so many times is partially because of that blessing. Now that that Qilin has died, part of your serendipity has been lost as well. Emperor Yan of Zhou is most likely worried that you will suppress Zhou Yalong, so he tried to buy him some time,” Daoya Old Man speculated, causing Zhou Xuanji’s frown to become deeper.
How vicious!
Just as well, I was preparing to storm into Great Zhou!
Zhou Xuanji took a deep breath in as he said, “I will remember this enmity.”
After saying this, he left carrying the red Qilin.
“Ai, don’t go. Let me play with it,” Daoya Old Man called out as he stretched out his hands. However, Zhou Xuanji ignored him.
By now, the red Qilin had joined Zhou Xuanji’s group.
Qilins were auspicious beasts and represented luck; at the same time, they were quite strong.
Legends said that before the human race had even been born, the Qilin race had dominated the world.
The red Qilin was about as big as the Three-eyed Drought Rodent and the two of them quickly started to play, rolling about and play-fighting in the snow.
Following this, Zhou Xuanji continued to diligently cultivate.
Four months later, Zhou Xuanji broke through to Astral Infant Level Eight.
Now, he was incredibly powerful, and even Daoya Old Man could only repeatedly exclaim in admiration.
After reaching the Fifth Level of the Sword Qi Golden Body Incantation, Flesh Sword, his strength had become terrifying. At the same time, the Tianxia Map provided him with an endless supply of spirit energy.
Daoya Old Man often sighed in admiration that in less than 100 years, this boy would be able to enter the Northern Wilderness’ Top 100. When that time came, if he met Lin Guanyu or Huang Hantian, he would be able to clash against them.
Zhou Xuanji was now looking forward to meeting those two people.
He wanted to wash away all of his shame!
Beixiao Wangjian had broken through to the Spirit Fountain stage and Jiang Xue broke through 10 days after him. Huang Lianxin was still doing her best to catch up.
Xiao Jinghong and HanShenbo had reached Astral Infant Level Ten, while Zhao Congjian was at Level Five.
The others had also taken big steps, but none of them had broken through any major stages.
“All of them are extraordinary, but compared to Xuanji, all of them are too plain,” Daoya Old Man sat on a big rock near the lake as he chuckled and spoke to himself.
Jiang Xue, Xiao Jinghong and Zhao Congjian all had the talent to enter the Sanctum, while Han Shenbo was a disciple of the Sanctum.
Even though Huang Lianxin did not have peak-level talent at cultivation, she had the Ghost Emperor Divine Eye, which was incredibly powerful. When she became more accomplished in her cultivation, she would definitely be someone who would shake the world.
Ah Big and Small Er were Dragon Eagles, mounts that countless people desired.
The Three-eyed Drought Rodent could find all supreme treasures under the heavens.
Chongming Demon Monarch was a Seventh Rank great demon, and there were not many who would reach such a stage.
It was just Beixiao Wangjian and the little black snake who had average talent.
As such, the two of them did not like each other much; neither wanted to have the title of weakest.
As they cultivated, some people would pass by, but no conflict would occur.
Zhou Xuanji and the others all cultivated in different places and the two Dragon Eagles flew about, so their identities were not exposed.
It was a pity that the good times did not last.
Three months later, a group of people and carriages entered the area that Zhou Xuanji and the others were cultivating in.
The person leading was a well-built man dressed in thick, black armour. His skin was suntanned and he did not wear a helmet. His black hair fell over his shoulders, and he was riding on a massive tiger that was also black and gave off killing intent from its eyes.
Following behind him were 15 soldiers riding demons, and they were escorting four carriages.
“May I ask, who is Sword God Zhou?” The man in black armour asked. Hearing this, Xiao Jinghong, Zhao Congjian, Han Shenbo, and Chongming Demon Monarch all looked at them warily.
Sensing their gazes, the man in black armour slightly frowned and said, “I am an Emissary General from the Canghai Ziggurat, Lu Longlin. I have come on their behalf to pay a visit to Sword God Zhou. Behind me are some gifts; please do not take offense, Sword God Zhou.”
Canghai Ziggurat!
It was one of the Northern Wilderness’ Eight Sanctums, the faction with the most information and intelligence.
They had created the Northern Wilderness’ Top 100.
The Great Zhou’s Hero Rankings was an imitation of this, but it was a pity that it was not strict enough.
“What matter does Emissary General Lu have with our Sword God?” Daoya Old Man asked, looking casual.
The Canghai Ziggurat rarely concerned itself with worldly affairs; they were most likely here for intelligence.
“Recently, our Canghai Ziggurat has been thinking of creating a Northern Wilderness Genius Ranking. Everyone says that Sword God Zhou is an old monster, but according to our observations, Sword God Zhou’s body has been growing. As such, we wish to test the age of Sword God Zhou’s bones. If he fulfils the requirements, he will be able to enter the Northern Wilderness Genius Ranking,” Lu Longlin replied as he glanced over everyone, and quickly locked on to Zhou Xuanji.
Zhou Xuanji was cultivating by the lake and the vortex of spirit energy above his head could be seen with the naked eye, causing Lu Longlin’s expression to flicker slightly.
“This is a good thing. Xuanji, quickly come over,” Daoya Old Man said as he waved at Zhou Xuanji. Hearing this, Zhou Xuanji got up and used the Eight-steps Sword Lunge to come over.
What marvellous footwork, Lu Longlin thought to himself. Just then, he did not even see Zhou Xuanji’s movements clearly.
