Chapter 1789: The Dragon-Seeking Sword Transforms and Showdown

"Yes, Master, I finally woke up!"

Chen Ling nodded.

Her eyes were full of joy as she looked at Chen Xuan.

Soon, Chen Ling remembered something and her pretty face turned slightly red.

"Master, why are you looking at me like that?"

Chen Ling shyly covered her chest.

At this moment, Chen Xuan suddenly reacted.

Chen Ling's body, although a little illusory.

But she was naked.

After being stared at like this for a long time, it was no wonder that Chen Ling's expression looked a little unnatural.

"Hehe, you are my sword spirit, and you can be shy too?" Chen Xuan coughed lightly and joked.

"Master, after all, I am also a female cultivator!"

Chen Ling explained shyly.

"Ok."

Chen Xuan nodded.

Soon, after Chen Ling returned to the body of the Dragon Seeking Sword, Chen Xuan said, "Now that you've awakened, the tempering of the Dragon Seeking Sword should be finished, right?"

"Master, this ancient sword quenching pool has been of great help to me. The energy inside is still very powerful. I plan to continue practicing here for a while, so please help me!" Chen Ling said.

Chen Xuan naturally would not refuse such a request.

"Very good, as long as you are willing. You can continue to practice here. I will protect you!" Chen Xuan said.

"Thank you, Master!"

Chen Ling thanked him and continued to practice in the ancient sword quenching pool.

Chen Xuan didn't dare to leave at this moment.

He simply sat cross-legged on the spot and carefully protected Chen Ling.

As time went by, the vast energy in the ancient sword quenching pool became increasingly thinner.

In fact, it has completely disappeared.

At this moment, a loud sword sound was heard, like a dragon's roar.

At this moment, the body of the Dragon-Seeking Sword trembled slightly, directly breaking through the water of the ancient sword-quenching pool, like a dragon rushing into the void.

Wow!

The terrifying sword energy exploded as if it were real and spread out in all directions.

Wherever it passed, the nearby void was cut open one after another.

After a moment, these terrifying sword energies gradually disappeared.

But a huge hole has been cut out in the surrounding space.

In fact, there is no way to recover for a long time.

When Chen Xuan saw this, he couldn't help but look ecstatic.

Especially when he felt the terrifying sword energy emanating from the Dragon-Seeking Sword, he was extremely surprised.

"If I'm not mistaken, the power of my Dragon Seeking Sword seems to have reached the level of an immortal weapon, right? Although it's a low-grade immortal weapon, it's still much more powerful than ordinary immortal weapon fragments."

Chen Xuan was secretly surprised.

At this moment, the Dragon-Seeking Sword circled around Chen Xuan nimbly.

After half a cup of tea, the Dragon-Seeking Sword turned into a shadow and disappeared into the void.

When he appeared again, he was already dozens of feet away.

This astonishing speed surprised Chen Xuan.

"So powerful! The power of the Dragon-Seeking Sword is far beyond my imagination. It seems that the Dragon-Seeking Sword has really been upgraded to a lower-grade immortal weapon." Chen Xuan said happily.

At this moment, Chen Ling, the spirit of the Dragon-Seeking Sword, also appeared again.

"Master, I succeeded!"

Chen Ling looked at Chen Xuan in surprise and laughed happily.

At this moment, Chen Xuan suddenly discovered that Chen Ling's body was becoming more and more solid.

Although, it still looks a bit unreal.

But it is much more solid than before.

Most importantly, the aura emanating from Chen Ling was very different from before.

This gap is like the gap between heaven and earth.

An indescribable power continuously emanated from Chen Ling.

"After becoming an immortal weapon, your strength is naturally extraordinary. In this way, you have now completely escaped the category of magic weapon. You should be classified as an immortal weapon."

Chen Xuan smiled happily.

Taking this opportunity, Chen Xuan thought about it and carefully felt the changes in Chen Ling's body.

Only after he became completely familiar with the changes of the Dragon-Seeking Sword did he suddenly think about it and put the Dragon-Seeking Sword away.

At this moment, two figures also shot over from a distance. They were the Emperor of the Netherworld and the Master of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, a powerful sword energy just appeared. Could it be that your natal sword has been repaired?"

The leader of Wanjian Pavilion looked at Chen Xuan with a very strange expression.

As a sword cultivator, the master of Wanjian Pavilion has achieved great attainments in the way of the sword.

It was also because of this that he could clearly feel the great changes that had taken place on the Dragon-Seeking Sword.

"Haha, this time my natal sword has been completely repaired. This is also thanks to the two fellow Taoists. Otherwise, I don't know how long it will take for me to repair my natal sword." Chen Xuan said with a smile.

The Master of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion and the Emperor of the Netherworld laughed out loud at the same time.

"You're welcome, Fellow Daoist Chen."

"That's right, why are you so distant with us?"

The three of them chatted and laughed, and the atmosphere in the field became unusually harmonious at this moment.

After a moment, the Master of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion quickly glanced at the Netherworld Emperor.

The Emperor of the Underworld understood.

He coughed lightly and then said, "Fellow Daoist Chen, to be honest, the two of us came to this ancient cave this time for another matter."

"Oh? May I ask, fellow Taoists, what is your purpose?"

"Fellow Daoist Chen, we are both cultivators in the middle stage of the Tribulation Crossing. You should know this without us having to explain it. In fact, cultivators in the middle stage of the Tribulation Crossing should also be able to ascend to the True Immortal Realm, right?"

"Of course. Are you two planning to invite me to ascend to the True Immortal Realm together?"

Chen Xuan frowned.

He has never made any plans to ascend to the realm of true immortals.

If he were asked to ascend to the True Immortal Realm directly now, Chen Xuan would naturally not agree.

The Netherworld Emperor laughed dryly, but felt a little worried in his heart.

After a long silence, he looked at Chen Xuan and shook his head.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, the ascension site we discovered can only allow two people to ascend to the True Immortal Realm. If you also want to ascend, I'm afraid you'll have to wait for a few more years."

"However, considering your bone age, I think waiting a little longer won't have much of an impact, right?"

Chen Xuan did not speak.

He looked at the master of Wanjian Pavilion.

The Master of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion also smiled and said, "Yes, Fellow Daoist Chen, with your talent and cultivation, even if you ascend to the True Immortal Realm later, there will be no problem. So, what we two are asking is, can these two spots for ascending to the True Immortal Realm be given to us?"

After hearing this, how could Chen Xuan not understand what the two meant?

It is obvious that these two people want to ascend to the realm of true immortals.

But he was unable to open the restriction here, so he could only invite Chen Xuan to help.

If Chen Xuan's strength was ordinary, he would probably have been killed by these two people the moment the ban was opened.

The reason why they are so polite to Chen Xuan now is simply because Chen Xuan is relatively powerful and difficult to deal with.

Chen Xuan naturally knew all of this.

It's not that he wants to compete with the two of them for the spot to ascend to the realm of true immortals.

But he doesn't want to be played around with.

"It seems that you two have been planning to use me for a long time?"

Although Chen Xuan's tone was very calm.

But when he spoke, his eyebrows suddenly raised.

A cold aura also emerged from him.

Upon seeing this, the expressions of the Nether Emperor and the Master of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion changed drastically at the same time.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, we didn't mean to deceive you. Why are you so angry?"

"That's right. If you are dissatisfied with this matter, the two of us can compensate you appropriately. How about that?"

The Emperor of the Underworld and the Master of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion spoke at the same time.

Looking at their anxious expressions, Chen Xuan smiled coldly.

"Hehe, how do you two fellow Daoists plan to compensate me?"

"Ascending to the True Immortal Realm is a very significant event for any of us cultivators in the Tribulation Crossing Stage. Compensation can be made if you ask for it."

"You two, don't think that if you give me some ordinary natural treasures, I will agree to your request, right?"

Chen Xuan has no plans to ascend to the realm of true immortals for the time being.

The reason why he said this was naturally because he wanted to see where the bottom line of these two people was in terms of compensating themselves.

Chen Xuan would feel very uncomfortable if he didn't make these two guys who were plotting against him bleed a little.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, we know you're incredibly powerful. That's why we're discussing this matter with you so openly. However, that doesn't mean we're truly afraid of you."

"That's right. The reason we're willing to compensate you, fellow Daoist, is naturally because we both have a pretty good relationship with you."

Chen Xuan chuckled and didn't respond.

This made the expressions of the Master of Wanjian Pavilion and the Emperor of the Netherworld suddenly become ugly.

After a long silence, the two exchanged glances, and the Netherworld Emperor spoke directly, "Fellow Daoist Chen, you should have realized from coming to this ancient cave that this isn't an ordinary cave of an ancient True Immortal, right?"

Seeing Chen Xuan nodded, the Emperor of the Underworld continued to speak.

"This ancient cave has many floors. Each floor contains a lot of natural treasures. However, fellow Daoist probably isn't interested in the other natural treasures."

"If we are willing to help you open an ancient medicine garden here and give you all the spiritual herbs in the garden, can we let you give up the opportunity to ascend to the True Immortal Realm?"

Although Chen Xuan looked calm, he had actually been moved for a long time.

He had long noticed that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in this ancient immortal cave was very abundant.

Not to mention the spiritual medicines that are grown, even ordinary plants and trees, after being nourished by spiritual energy over the years, have become extremely rare natural treasures.

If it is true as the two said, that they are willing to give all the spiritual medicines in the medicine garden to Chen Xuan, then this would be a windfall that would make Chen Xuan excited.

But Chen Xuan didn't say anything.

Upon seeing this, the leader of Wanjian Pavilion frowned.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, don't you think the compensation we gave you is not enough?"

"Haha, what objections do you have to what you said, fellow Daoists? Those spiritual medicines are in this ancient cave. After you ascend, you don't think I can't open the formation on it and get all of them, right?"

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Chen, you're really delusional. If that's the case, how can we bargain with you? To be honest, we've set up another layer of protective formation outside that ancient spiritual medicine garden. Unless the two of us take action personally, even if you activate the gold-eating insects, you won't be able to open it."

"Oh? What kind of formation did you two set up? It's so mysterious?"

"The Great Concentric Soul Linking Formation, haven't you heard of it, fellow Daoist?"

When Chen Xuan heard this, he frowned slightly.

Soon, he sneered, "Don't use this to threaten me. You know that with my strength, I'm not afraid of your threats at all. If I want to, I can kill both of you in a minute."

"But I'm willing to stand here and negotiate with you. I hope you can show true sincerity, rather than these things that don't have any substantial benefits."

Upon hearing this, the Master of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion and the Emperor of the Netherworld both had slightly changed expressions.

After the two of them exchanged secret words for a while, the Netherworld Emperor finally spoke: "Fellow Daoist Chen, since you said so, then we naturally have to show our sincerity."

"As you all know, I specialize in formation techniques. I'm willing to give you all the formation manuals I've accumulated over the years, as well as my own cultivation experience, as compensation. What do you think?"

Hearing this, the Master of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion also said, "I am also willing to give you my collection of various classics and my own insights into the cultivation of the sword as compensation. What do you think, Fellow Daoist Chen?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan was secretly ecstatic.

The Emperor of the Netherworld and the Master of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion have extremely high attainments in formations and swordsmanship.

If he could get their experience in formation and swordsmanship, it would be a great help to Chen Xuan.

Although Chen Xuan also wanted to take this opportunity to inflict more losses on the two men.

But he also knew very well that if he continued to be greedy, the two would probably turn against him completely.

Knowing when to stop is the best choice.

After a long time, Chen Xuan glanced at the two of them.

"Then, as you two fellow Daoists have said, the spiritual herbs in that spiritual herb garden, as well as your cultivation experience, will all belong to me. I can give up my place in the True Immortal Realm. Is that okay?"
