Chapter 2387 Tempering Sword Bones to the Fifth Level, Sword Heart Clear and Unobstructed

"Thank you, senior. I am naturally willing to visit the sword hut in the lake!"

Chen Xuan thanked him and immediately jumped into the lake.

Wow!

Water splashed everywhere, and soon Chen Xuan arrived at the bottom of the lake.

To Chen Xuan's surprise, there was a large water system array at the bottom of the lake, completely isolating the lake water above.

In the center of the great formation stood a simple thatched hut.

Inside the thatched hut lay several immortal swords, each gleaming with spiritual light.

With Chen Xuan's discerning eye, he could naturally tell that these immortal swords were actually only of the Saint-grade immortal artifacts.

For many Golden Immortal level experts, it might be extremely attractive, but for Great Luo Golden Immortal level experts, a Saint-grade Immortal Artifact is actually nothing special.

Only half-step Dao artifacts and true Dao artifacts are their most powerful attack methods.

"There's only a thatched hut at the bottom of this huge lake? That's far too rudimentary!"

Chen Xuan looked surprised.

But he didn't think much of it.

With one step, he appeared directly within the formation.

However, Chen Xuan, who was always cautious, did not go directly into the thatched hut.

Instead, he carefully examined the thatched hut in front of him.

It turned out that the thatched hut looked quite ordinary.

Even the grass used to build the thatched hut was very common thatch.

Over the years, the thatch has long since dried up and even turned white.

It was as if another gust of wind could blow through and break the thatch on the hut into straw.

As for the pillars supporting the thatched hut, they were stone pillars carved from very ordinary bluestone.

There was nothing special about the stone pillar.

It's just that someone used ordinary methods to remove the redundant parts.

"This is too ordinary!"

Chen Xuan stood there, scrutinizing the scene for a long time.

No problems were found.

Undeterred, he secretly activated the Heavenly Illusion Demon Eye to thoroughly examine the thatched hut, but still found nothing.

This made Chen Xuan suddenly feel like he had been deceived.

"The City Lord of Tianguang City has treated me quite well. Moreover, it was Fairy Xiaoqin who promised me that I could come to Tianguang Sword Pavilion. Even if it's for Fairy Xiaoqin's sake, the City Lord of Tianguang City wouldn't lie to me!"

"At most, he only prevented me from getting the greatest benefit from the thatched hut, that's all!"

"Judging from the attitude of the City Lord of Tianguang City towards me, it is clear that he did not intend to deceive me, but rather that I simply did not perceive the essence of the Sword Pavilion!"

Chen Xuan muttered softly.

But he still couldn't get it right.

Helpless, he could only pace around the area.

Chen Xuan walked for a full half hour beneath the protective array.

Having gained nothing, he idly strolled to the center of the thatched hut. When he glanced at the large lake outside the protective array, his expression suddenly changed.

"what?"

Chen Xuan's expression was extremely surprised.

An inexplicable curiosity then surfaced on his face.

Soon, he stood quietly in place, staring intently at the water in the lake.

The lake water was isolated by the great formation.

However, they can still move freely.

Moreover, the lake water at the bottom and the lake water on the surface are not in the same direction at all.

Often, while the surface water of a lake flows eastward, the water at the bottom of the lake flows rapidly in all directions.

This discovery only deepened Chen Xuan's confusion.

"The City Lord of Tianguang City said that the true Sword Pavilion is in the Great Lake? It's in the Great Lake..."

Chen Xuan whispered softly.

The next instant, a look of sudden realization suddenly appeared in the depths of his eyes.

"The City Lord of Tianguang City has been very straightforward, but I still can't grasp his meaning. To be precise, I've been overthinking it!"

Chen Xuan looked very happy.

The next instant, he rushed out of the protective array and re-entered the lake.

Gududu!

The surrounding lake water surged towards Chen Xuan without any discernible pattern.

At this moment, Chen Xuan did not deliberately try to guide the surrounding lake water, but instead let the lake water carry him along with the current.

Chen Xuan, like a small boat adrift on the current, had been waiting for quite some time when he suddenly discovered that the sword bone within his body seemed to be stronger than before.

"This... just as I expected, the Sword Pavilion is the Great Lake, and the Great Lake is the Sword Pavilion."

"Moreover, this sword hut can actually temper sword bones!"

Chen Xuan looked very happy.

Last time, he had only initially condensed the sword bone.

If one can go a step further, one can condense an acquired sword body.

According to Chen Xuan's understanding of sword bones.

Currently, his sword bone realm is only at the first level.

There is still a long way to go before one achieves true acquired sword physique.

Having realized the secret of the lake, he stopped having wild thoughts and let the lake water carry his body, drifting with the current.

Little did they know that Chen Xuan's every move was being watched by the City Lord of Tianguang City and Xiao Qin.

Seeing Chen Xuan lying at the bottom of the lake, letting the lake water carry him.

Xiao Qin immediately showed a puzzled expression.

"Father, what's wrong with Brother Chen? Why is he suddenly motionless? Could it be that you lied to him? Is the real Sword Pavilion not in the lake at all?" Xiao Qin asked疑惑地.

"Hehe, I never go back on my word. Don't worry, this Brother Chen of yours is quite capable. His talent in swordsmanship is also quite remarkable. When I first entered the Great Lake, it took me a long time to comprehend its secrets. I never expected that this young man would grasp the mysteries of the lake so quickly. He is truly extraordinary!"

The city lord of Tianguang City looked at Chen Xuan with admiration in his eyes.

Xiao Qin was completely confused.

But she knew very well that her swordsmanship talent was far inferior to Chen Xuan's.

Chen Xuan might understand what the City Lord of Tianguang City was saying, but she couldn't understand it at all.

Even!

She could understand every word the City Lord of Tianguang City said!

"Qin'er, don't worry. Fellow Daoist Chen is exceptionally talented and has condensed his sword bone. In my opinion, he will definitely benefit greatly from coming out of the lake this time!"

"However, I am curious how long he will be able to stay in the lake this time!"

"I remember it very clearly. When I first discovered the secret of the lake, I stayed at the bottom of the lake for half a month straight."

"It was on that occasion that I condensed my sword bones, which led to my current level of mastery!"

At this point, the city lord of Tianguang City's face was full of joy and pride.

This is a glorious achievement on his path to immortality.

Even after so much time has passed, the city lord of Tianguang City is still very happy whenever this matter is mentioned.

"Hehe, Dad, are you sure you only stayed for half a month back then?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qin smiled happily.

However, her bright eyes were darting around, and it was unclear what she was thinking.

Upon seeing this, the city lord of Tianguang City immediately laughed and said, "What are you up to now, you little rascal?"

"Father, how about I make a bet with you? I won't take advantage of you; I bet Brother Chen can stay in the lake for at least three months. Do you believe me?"

"Haha... Qin'er, your Brother Chen is indeed quite capable. But being able to stay in the Great Lake for three months straight is not something an ordinary genius can do. Back then, I only stayed for half a month before I condensed my sword bone. If he can really stay for three months, he will not only condense his sword bone but also gain other benefits. Are you sure your Brother Chen can do it?"

"Dad, don't worry about that. Just tell me, do you dare to make a bet with me?"

"Alright, I'll take the gamble with you. But if you lose, from now on you'll stay quietly in Tianguang City and cultivate in seclusion. You can only come out of seclusion when you advance to the mid-stage of the Golden Immortal realm, okay?"

"Father, don't worry, I will definitely honor my bet. However, if you lose, and the City Lord of Crimson City causes trouble for Brother Chen, you must step in to help him!"

"no problem!"

The city lord of Tianguang City readily agreed.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Qin's lips curled into a sly smile.

This left the City Lord of Tianguang City looking puzzled.

I have a feeling that I've been tricked.

But he didn't think too much about it.

Seeing that Chen Xuan had already grasped the mysteries of the great lake and was completely immersed in cultivation, he did not disturb Chen Xuan.

Soon, Xiao Qin and he sat cross-legged by the lake, quietly waiting for Chen Xuan to finish his cultivation.

Little did they know that Chen Xuan, who was in the lake at that moment, was being carried along by the current.

Every so often, Chen Xuan felt his sword bones grow stronger.

Although Chen Xuan didn't know exactly what level his sword bone had reached.

But he could clearly feel that his sword bones were significantly stronger than before.

"Since the sword bones can be tempered in the sword hut, the sword heart can naturally be tempered as well."

"Since that's the case, I can't waste this opportunity. I'll temper my sword bones and my sword heart at the same time!"

After a moment's thought, Chen Xuan immediately increased the intensity of his cultivation.

As the lake carried him along, drifting with the current, Chen Xuan secretly activated the Free and Unfettered Sword Technique, continuously gathering the surrounding sword intent into his dantian and strengthening his sword heart.

If anyone could see Chen Xuan's current cultivation progress, they would be utterly astonished.

Within Chen Xuan's dantian, the originally small Free and Unfettered Sword Heart was now spinning incessantly, like a dragon's eye.

However, as the powerful sword intent from the great lake surged into his dantian, the volume of the Free and Unfettered Sword Heart also continued to increase.

The carefree sword intent on it also became increasingly refined.

In that instant, Chen Xuan clearly felt that his cultivation level had not changed, but his strength was constantly increasing.

"Is this the benefit that Sword Pavilion has brought me? It is indeed extraordinary."

Chen Xuan felt the changes in his body and was overjoyed.

As a sword cultivator!

Condensing one's sword bones and sword heart is a required course!

At this moment, Chen Xuan not only accomplished it completely, but he was even able to go a step further.

Among experts of the same level, Chen Xuan's swordsmanship can already be considered to have reached a high level.

As long as he is willing to work hard, Chen Xuan's cultivation will advance to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

Therefore, based solely on Chen Xuan's skill in swordsmanship, he would be capable of killing experts of the same level.

This is the terrifying aspect of sword cultivators!

It's difficult to get started!

However, once you get the hang of it, your skills will improve by leaps and bounds!

At this moment, Chen Xuan did not think much about it and remained lying in the lake, letting the lake water carry him with it.

Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

Chen Xuan clearly felt that the powerful sword intent in the lake had thinned considerably.

Even after the Great Lake no longer had the same effect on tempering his sword bones, he had a sudden thought and left the Great Lake.

Wow!

The moment Chen Xuan broke through the water, Xiao Qin and her father, who were protecting him beside the lake, were also awakened.

A powerful sword intent emanated from Chen Xuan's body.

His entire being was like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, its edge fully revealed.

At this moment, let alone Xiao Qin, a powerful early-stage Golden Immortal.

Even the City Lord of Tianguang City, a powerful expert at the late-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, was shocked by the aura emanating from Chen Xuan.

Wow!

Curious, he activated his divine sense and quickly scanned Chen Xuan's body.

His expression grew increasingly surprised.

"This is... the fifth level of Sword Bone? Sword Heart Perfection? Fellow Daoist Chen, how exactly did you achieve this?"
