102: Sword Box Open

"This is..."

Hui Ming revealed a meaningful smile.

"The Marquis of Jubei can understand its meaning without words!"

"This poor monk was entrusted by someone, and now it is returned to its original owner. Farewell!"

After the monk Hui Ming finished speaking,

He silently recited 'Amitabha' toward Chen Xian.

Then, he gracefully departed.

He came in a hurry and left in a hurry.

Chen Buyu asked curiously, "Great Nephew, what does this old bald donkey mean?"

Chen Xian: "..."

He took out the sword casket.

"Back then, Uncle Wang the Cook gave me several swords, saying they could be used to unlock the sword casket. But after I put them all in, there was still no reaction."

"I entered the Lake Bottom Secret Realm at that time, so I didn't look into it further. But when that Great Master gave me this sword just now, I had a feeling that this could definitely unlock the sword casket!"

Chen Buyu took a look.

"Unlock it now, I will act as your Protector!"

Chen Xian nodded.

He naturally had no reason to be wary of Chen Buyu.

He slowly placed the sword into the sword casket.

Shua!

The moment it was put in!

A sharp Sword Qi instantly erupted from within the sword casket.

Boom!

Powerful Sword Qi suddenly burst forth from the sword casket.

Chen Buyu was quick of eye and hand; he reached out and gave a sudden shout.

A powerful Protective Aura directly enveloped the Sword Qi.

It lasted for a full ten seconds.

Only then was the Sword Qi completely suppressed.

"Phew!"

"Second Uncle, luckily you were here, otherwise my little life might have been lost right here."

The Sword Qi that had just erupted from the sword casket

made even Chen Xian, who possessed the Invincible Sword Body, nervous.

Although his Invincible Sword Body could devour Sword Qi, that Sword Qi just now made Chen Xian smell the scent of death.

This Sword Qi could take his life!

Meanwhile, Chen Buyu's expression was solemn.

"Great Nephew, that Sword Qi just now would have likely taken more than just your life. If I hadn't forcibly suppressed it, I'm afraid half of Jubei City would have suffered!"

"The lives of half the city's people would likely have fallen here."

Hiss!

Chen Xian sucked in a breath of cold air.

"Is that Sword Qi truly so powerful?"

Chen Buyu simply held out his hand, and Chen Xian understood instantly.

The palm Chen Buyu had used to suppress the Sword Qi was now covered in wounds.

It looked as if it had been injured by countless tiny swords.

"Second Uncle..."

"Don't mind me. To be able to hide such a strand of Sword Qi in this sword casket, the opponent must be at least a Sword Cultivator of the Nascent Soul Stage."

"Let's see what's inside this sword casket!"

After Chen Xian opened it,

he saw twelve beast bone swords lined up in order.

Currently, he had only used the elephant bone sword and the Shark Bone Sword.

It wasn't that Chen Xian didn't want to use the remaining swords, but rather that he didn't have the ability yet.

Now, as a Sword Cultivator, he had some level of intuition regarding swords.

From the look of it, he was not yet qualified to touch the other ten swords.

Besides these swords,

there were also ten Heaven Rank swords.

These were the ones Chen Xian had collected one by one before, plus those given by Old Wang the Cook.

In addition to these,

there were three more swords in the sword casket!

Just as Chen Xian was about to touch them, Chen Buyu said sternly, "Don't touch them!"

"These three swords are at least at the Emperor Weapon level. They are items worn by a Saint!"

Chen Buyu said in a low voice, "Setting aside whether you are qualified to touch them, even if you do, I'm afraid you will be tainted by a Saint's Karma!"

Upon hearing the words 'Saint's Karma',

Chen Xian couldn't help but shudder.

Why did he give up the comfortable life of a rich second generation and choose not to just wait for death, but instead face the wind and rain every day to improve his cultivation?

Wasn't it precisely because he was tainted by the Karma of the Fearless Sword Saint!

He immediately stepped back.

However, at that moment, the sword on the left seemed to sense Chen Xian's retreat.

Instead, it stood up on its own and went directly in front of Chen Xian.

Chen Buyu was about to act, but he too was locked down by an invisible Sword Qi.

He was merely a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator.

The residual prestige emitted by a Saint's sidearm was enough to render them immobile.

Chen Xian tremblingly reached out his hand, and the moment he grasped the sword,

suddenly, a familiar feeling washed over him.

Not only that, he even felt his body becoming warm and cozy.

What was going on?

When he saw the two small characters on the hilt,

he understood instantly.

Because the hilt was engraved with two characters—fearless!

So it was the sword of his cheap Revered Master!

It truly was a case of 'the Dragon King's temple being flooded by his own people'.

No wonder this sword would acknowledge its Revered Master on its own.

"Second Uncle, it's fine. This is the sidearm of the big shot whose Legacy I accepted."

The pressure on Chen Buyu's body only suddenly dissipated the moment Chen Xian picked up the sword.

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"You kid really aren't meant to die yet!"

"In that case, one month from now, I will come here to personally test you!"

"If you satisfy me, I can let you participate in the trial of the Shanhai Secret Realm!"

"If not, then pack your bags immediately and get lost to the Southern Continent!"

"Got it, Second Uncle, just you wait and see!"

Chen Buyu was escorted to the main gate; seeing Chen Xian's cavalier attitude, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

He was now both gratified and worried about Chen Xian.

He was gratified that this kid had good luck; without relying on the path his elder brother had paved for him, he could actually carve out a world of his own.

Although this was also by relying on Legacies and opportunism, isn't the path of cultivation just like that?

Ten percent hard work, ninety percent luck!

Some people work hard their whole lives and cannot even step over the threshold of cultivation.

Others can accept a Saint's Legacy right from the start!

Chen Buyu looked at the sky and murmured to himself, "Big Brother, this kid hasn't let you down. We won't let you down either!"

"As long as he dares to venture out, even if it's into the Nine Serenities Hell, we brothers will accompany him down!"

...Back garden.

Chen Xian sat leisurely on a chair.

The White Cat jumped onto the table.

"Stinky brat, are you really going to the Shanhai Secret Realm?"

"The lowest Rank there are Nascent Soul Stage Great Daemons, which are what you call King-rank Demon Beasts!"

"You going in is equivalent to seeking death!"

Chen Xian looked at the Moon Demon curiously.

"That's strange. Usually, don't you wish for me to die? Why this attitude now?"

"Could it be that you've started caring about me?"

The Moon Demon gave a cold snort.

"Cut it out, I'm just worried that after you die, I'll be innocently implicated!"

"The Shanhai Secret Realm was a top-tier perilous land even in the ancient era!"

"Now that it has become a Secret Realm, that old Emperor wants to kill you even more!"

"If you go to this place, it's a narrow escape from death!"

A flash of light crossed Chen Xian's eyes.

"It is indeed a narrow escape!"

"But great danger also comes with great Opportunity!"

What the Moon Demon didn't know was,

Chen Xian's Daily Intelligence System panel was currently displaying a piece of information.

[Daily Intelligence 1: One month from now, the Shanhai Secret Realm will have a major Opportunity. Sun Xiu of the Tianqi Sect will seize the Opportunity and become the new generation's Sect Prodigy!]

If he hadn't seen this intelligence this morning,

he would have naturally agreed decisively to Chen Buyu's proposal!
