Chapter 2310 Entering the Sword Tomb, the Sword Soul of Jinling
Wow!
Chen Xuan's escape light swiftly landed on a desolate mountaintop.
This area is quite far from the Sword Tomb.
There aren't many true immortals either.
Chen Xuan planned to take some time to recuperate here.
This will make it easier to enter the Sword Tomb later.
However, before he could even sit down to meditate and cultivate, he saw two figures shooting towards him.
It was Xiao Qin and her protector, Elder Bai.
"Brother Lin, is that you?"
Xiao Qin looked at Chen Xuan, whose appearance had been altered by the Heavenly Demon Mask, with a somewhat surprised expression.
Upon seeing this, Chen Xuan couldn't help but smile bitterly.
With a thought, his appearance was instantly restored.
"Fairy Xiao, you really can hide anything from me!"
"Hehe, Brother Chen, don't say that about me. In your battle with the Young Master Spirit Ape just now, the Free and Unfettered Sword Intent you unleashed was so obvious. Anyone could guess it was you!"
"Too!"
Chen Xuan nodded.
Thinking about how he had left Tianjian Valley without saying goodbye, Chen Xuan suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
"Fairy, I had some urgent matters to attend to recently and didn't have time to say goodbye. I never expected to meet you outside the Sword Tomb; it's truly fate!"
"I wonder if the fairy has collected enough Star Pearls?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Qin's face immediately lit up with a smile.
"Thank you for your concern, Brother Chen. I have collected enough Star Pearls. Enough for Elder Bai and me to use."
"But Brother Chen, you left without saying goodbye, leaving me and Elder Bai searching for you for ages."
"We thought you were highly skilled and would definitely come to the Sword Tomb, so we came here to try our luck. Unexpectedly, we did run into you here."
Chen Xuan heard a hint of resentment in his voice.
His expression grew increasingly awkward.
But soon, he laughed and said, "I only have some unavoidable difficulties! The Sword Tomb has already opened. How about we join forces and enter the Sword Tomb once the chaotic sword energy inside dissipates a bit?"
Xiao Qin was overjoyed at Chen Xuan's overtures.
"Thank you, Brother Chen."
After a pause, Xiao Qin's expression suddenly turned serious, as if she had remembered something.
"Brother Chen, I recently heard that Young Master Lingxu and Fairy Ziyi of Yaoguang Cave have perished!"
"Even their protectors were killed!"
"Although this matter has nothing to do with you, Brother Chen, you should still be careful!"
"I've heard that Young Master Lingxu is the illegitimate son of the Fifth Patriarch of Yaoguang Cave. Furthermore, there are rumors that the Fifth Patriarch plans to acknowledge Young Master Lingxu as his son once he advances to the Golden Immortal realm."
"It's a pity that Young Master Lingxu perished in the Valley of Burial Swords."
"Given the temperament of the Fifth Patriarch of Yaoguang Cave, I'm afraid this matter will not be left unresolved!"
Chen Xuan knew that Xiao Qin was not just saying this offhand.
Instead, it was a reminder of the Fifth Patriarch of Yaoguang Cave in the local area.
However, even if both of them knew the truth, Chen Xuan would not admit it on the surface.
"Yaoguang Cave does have some grudges against me. However, their Fifth Ancestor wouldn't dare to lay a hand on us juniors at the Celestial Immortal realm, would he?" Chen Xuan chuckled, trying to smooth things over.
Seeing this, Xiao Qin naturally didn't say anything more.
With a slight smile, Xiao Qin immediately changed the subject.
"Brother Chen, this opening of the Sword Tomb is a little different from the past."
"Judging from the mixed sword energy emanating from it, there should be a considerable amount of sword-cleansing liquid gathered inside the sword tomb!"
"Especially the sword-cleansing liquid condensed in those ancient sword pools, there should be even more of it."
"If we can enter the Sword Tomb and find an ancient sword pool, it will definitely benefit us greatly!"
"It is said that the sword-cleansing liquid in those ancient sword pools can help sword cultivators condense sword bones."
Xiao Qin explained with a smile.
When Chen Xuan heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Fairy, is this true?"
"Brother Chen, these words were spoken by my father; he wouldn't lie to me!"
"your dad?"
Chen Xuan looked curious.
Xiao Qin's identity has always been a mystery to him.
However, when Chen Xuan and Xiao Qin were together, Xiao Qin did not mention her background, and Chen Xuan did not ask about it.
However, judging from Xiao Qin's expression at this moment, she didn't seem to have any intention of revealing her identity.
Chen Xuan naturally didn't press the matter.
"Brother Chen, rest assured, this news was indeed told to me by my father. His words are generally quite credible!" Xiao Qin said.
"Thank you for telling me this, Fairy. When I came here, the sect only told me to come to the Burial Valley of Swords. As for whether there are any opportunities inside the Sword Tomb, no one told me!"
Chen Xuan laughed awkwardly.
The Tianmeng Mountains where he lived were, after all, just an insignificant place in the Tiannan True Immortal Realm.
In fact, there are no decent strong individuals in the Tianmeng Mountains.
The highest-ranking True Immortal is only at the early stage of Golden Immortal.
Unlike other cultivation forces, which often have a Grand Luo Golden Immortal in charge.
Their strength is terrifyingly high!
The information about these powerful cultivation forces was naturally much more detailed than that of the Tianmeng Mountains.
"Brother Chen, everyone has their own opportunities. This is especially true for a genius like Chen Xuan!"
"Even in a harsher environment, it still cannot stop the rise of geniuses."
"Even if the sect hadn't told you all this, Brother Chen still managed to make a name for himself in the Burial Sword Valley, didn't he?"
When Xiao Qin said these words, her beautiful eyes were full of envy.
He knew very well that with Chen Xuan's strength and talent...
Once I leave the Burial Sword Valley safely this time, it probably won't be long before I successfully advance to the Golden Immortal realm.
At that time, his name may be heard throughout the entire True Immortal Realm.
And she!
He was just an ordinary young city lord.
The gap between him and Chen Xuan will only widen.
Right now, this is probably the time when the gap between her and Chen Xuan is the smallest.
"Fairy, there's no need to be so self-deprecating. As you just said, everyone's environment is different, and the cultivation resources they enjoy are also different!"
"But why do geniuses get more cultivation resources?"
"Could it be simply because they are powerful and have profound cultivation?"
"In my opinion, these are all secondary."
"If everyone has an unwavering heart for the Dao, no matter how slow our cultivation speed is, our future achievements will certainly not be low!"
Chen Xuan explained seriously.
Xiao Qin looked stunned.
Standing beside Xiao Qin, Old Bai was carefully considering Chen Xuan's words.
After a long while, no one knew what Elder Bai had realized, but his eyes suddenly lit up with a look of sudden enlightenment.
"Haha... Thank you, Fellow Daoist Chen. If it weren't for your words of guidance, I'm afraid I would have been stuck at the early stage of the Golden Immortal realm for the rest of my life!"
Old Bai laughed heartily.
In that instant, Chen Xuan clearly sensed that Elder Bai's state of mind had undergone a tremendous change.
As long as Elder Bai has enough cultivation resources, Chen Xuan believes that advancing to the mid-stage of Golden Immortal, or even the late-stage of Golden Immortal, would be no problem at all.
"You're too kind, senior. I didn't really do anything. It was your good fortune that arrived!" Chen Xuan said with a smile.
Old Bai laughed heartily, saying nothing, but he appreciated Chen Xuan's kindness in his heart.
After chatting about the Sword Tomb for a while, the three of them separated and meditated to regulate their breathing.
Wow!
Chen Xuan activated his divine sense to examine his own body.
He discovered that the bottleneck he was facing showed no signs of loosening even after taking the Jade Profound Pill.
This made him feel quite depressed.
"Not long ago, I even fought with the young master of the Spirit Ape. There's still no sign of my bottleneck loosening. Am I really going to be stuck at the late-stage Celestial Immortal bottleneck for the rest of my life?"
Chen Xuan sighed in frustration.
He soon stopped having wild thoughts.
Taking this opportunity, I took out a pill to replenish my immortal power and quickly refined it.
After his energy and spirit, as well as the immortal power in his dantian, had fully recovered to their peak state, Chen Xuan took out the jade slip belonging to the young master of the spirit ape and studied it carefully.
Wow!
The map in the jade slip was fully displayed in Chen Xuan's mind.
Soon, Chen Xuan found the marked location of the Ancient Sword Pool deep within the Sword Tomb.
"I never imagined that the location of this ancient sword pool would be so deep!"
"If I want to get to the deepest part of the Sword Tomb, I'm afraid I'll encounter quite a few problems along the way!"
Chen Xuan muttered to himself, his brows furrowed.
Inside the Sword Tomb, there are not only immortal swords, but also sword spirits that have been dormant for countless years.
These sword spirits are not only highly intelligent, but also possess a strong sense of territory.
The sword spirits will take action immediately if any outsiders enter their territory.
The vast majority of powerful individuals who entered the Sword Tomb were unable to leave because they perished at the hands of the Sword Spirit.
In addition, too many True Immortals have died in the Sword Sect.
Many powerful ghosts also appeared.
These ghosts are also exceptionally powerful.
If you're not careful, the probability of dying at the hands of these ghosts is extremely high.
Chen Xuan naturally learned about these things from the information about Burial Sword Valley that Wang Qinghua had given him.
After carefully reviewing the various documents about Burial Sword Valley, Chen Xuan calmly stood up.
After about several hours, most of the chaotic sword intent inside the sword tomb finally dissipated.
At this moment, many True Immortals gathered outside the Sword Tomb were already getting restless.
They rushed madly into the depths of the Sword Tomb.
Seeing this, more and more powerful people followed suit.
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of people entered the Sword Tomb.
Before long, these people vanished into thin air. Their whereabouts remain unknown.
"Brother Chen, shall we set off now?"
Xiao Qin looked at Chen Xuandao with a solemn expression.
"Let's wait and see how things go!" Chen Xuan said.
As he spoke, Chen Xuan's divine sense completely scattered.
Before long, Chen Xuan was surprised to find that the Sword Prince, who had been studying the Ruthless Sword Intent with him at the location of the three great sword intents, had also arrived at the Sword Tomb.
No, he was standing not far from the young master of the spirit ape and the flying bear.
Although Chen Xuan couldn't see the Spirit Ape Young Master's expression at that moment.
However, judging from the terrifying aura emanating from the young master of the spirit ape and the young master of the sword, it was clear that although the two had not yet made a move, they were probably on the verge of exploding.
"These two guys are both quite strong. If they start fighting, it could cause a lot of trouble."
"If that's the case, I'll go inside the Sword Tomb first!"
Chen Xuan was too lazy to care about the matter between the Sword Prince and the Spirit Ape Young Master.
After giving Xiao Qin a look, the two of them disappeared from the spot at the same time.
call!
As soon as Chen Xuan stepped into the Sword Tomb, a terrifying sword intent rapidly enveloped him.
This sword intent was incredibly complex.
When the sword intent entered Chen Xuan's body, Chen Xuan felt as if his internal organs were about to be cut apart by the complex sword intent.
"This……"
Chen Xuan's expression changed slightly.
Before he could dispel the mixed sword intent, the Free and Unfettered Sword Heart in his dantian started to operate automatically.
He immediately dispersed the mixed sword intent within his body.
The intense pain inside my body also disappeared rapidly once again.
As for Xiao Qin, she was well-prepared.
Together with Elder Bai, they took out a jade pendant containing sword intent and wore it.
Wow!
A light shield about ten feet in size enveloped the two of them.
It completely dispelled the chaotic sword intent.
Seeing that Chen Xuan was unprotected, Xiao Qin immediately laughed and said, "Brother Chen, why don't you come closer to me? My sword intent jade pendant can also dispel mixed sword intent. It can reduce our suffering!"
"Thank you, fairy! I have a way to deal with these sword intents!"
Chen Xuan smiled slightly.
He directly released the sword intent from the Free and Unfettered Sword Heart in his dantian, enveloping himself in the surroundings.
Instantly, the chaotic sword intent within a radius of more than ten feet dared not approach Chen Xuan even a fraction of a second.
This made Xiao Qin and Old Man Bai extremely envious.
Chen Xuan, however, remained calm.
Together with the two, they quickly headed deeper into the Sword Tomb.
The further you go into the Sword Tomb, the stronger and more complex the sword intent becomes.
The light emanating from Bai Lao and Xiao Qin's jade pendants changed from cyan to pale red.
The area covered by the light also increased from more than ten zhang to nine zhang.
The sword intent surrounding Chen Xuan remained unchanged, seemingly unaffected.
Just as the three were about to head deeper into the Sword Tomb, a sinister laugh suddenly came from not far ahead.
"Who dares to be so bold as to trespass on my territory?"
Chen Xuan's expression hardened, and he was about to make a move when he heard Elder Bai's calm voice.
"Insolence! Jinling Sword Soul, do you still remember me?"
