109: Enter the Sword Tomb!

Eunuch Zhang, being the person closest to the Emperor, had a thorough understanding of his thoughts.

Since the Emperor did not want to take risks personally,

he would let Invincible Chen's former enemies serve as the vanguard!

Although Invincible Chen was undefeated throughout his life,

and had achieved great feats,

he had also offended many people.

Those people had been enduring in silence because they feared Invincible Chen and were unsure of the Emperor's attitude toward the Chen family.

But now, things were different!

Invincible Chen was dead.

With such a hint from the Emperor,

Eunuch Zhang could already imagine Chen Xian's miserable fate!

However, just as he was about to turn and leave, he suddenly thought of someone.

He immediately turned back and asked, "Your Majesty, what if Her Highness the Princess insists on protecting him?"

"Recall her to the capital. She must also participate in the Shanhai Secret Realm a month from now!"

"Yes!"

Eunuch Zhang left in a hurry.

Only Li Zhen remained, looking at the full moon in the sky.

The expression on his face was obscure and uncertain!

As for Chen Xian, he naturally didn't know that the Emperor had already employed a new tactic against him.

After entering the Sword Tomb,

the first thing that met his eyes was a thick fog so dense he couldn't see his own hand.

Chen Xian led Zhou Duoer and walked for an unknown amount of time

before finally reaching a canyon.

"Woof, woof, woof!"

Da Huang stood at the front and stopped advancing.

The Moon Demon, perched on Chen Xian's shoulder, also reminded him, "We've arrived. The Sword Tomb is just ahead!"

"Damn, it took this long just to reach the Sword Tomb?"

"Kid, the atmosphere here feels a bit off."

The Moon Demon said seriously, "Even I can't sense how large this place is. So, you'd better be careful!"

"Although I don't know why you brought this little girl along, if you don't want both of you to die, then stay on high alert!"

If Chen Xian died, he wouldn't be able to live either.

Moreover, he wouldn't be able to leave this Sword Tomb.

Thus, the Moon Demon was now more cautious than anyone.

Chen Xian also nodded.

The atmosphere here was indeed eerie, especially since the System's intelligence had stated from the start that the Sword Tomb within the sword casket was passed down from ancient times.

Anything related to 'Ancient' was bound to be extraordinary.

Just then,

a phantom appeared in front of Chen Xian!

"Oh, a pair of death-seekers has come this time!"

Zhou Duoer was startled by the old man who suddenly appeared.

She hurriedly ran behind Chen Xian.

In truth, Chen Xian was also somewhat afraid, but he tightly gripped the long sword at his waist.

He swallowed hard.

Forcing himself to remain calm, he said, "Senior, are you the Sword Guardian of this Sword Tomb?"

"Tsk, who else would it be!"

"Kid, did you come here to comprehend the sword, or to seek a sword?"

Chen Xian hesitated for a moment before saying calmly, "Both to comprehend the sword and to seek a sword!"

He came here to become stronger.

If he could comprehend Sword Intent, that would be for the best.

If he found a good sword, there was no reason for him not to take it.

So, he could only answer truthfully.

Chen Xian thought his answer would draw ridicule from the other party.

However, the old man let out a shrill laugh.

"Hahahaha, you are quite honest!"

"Then this old man won't make things difficult for you!"

"This is the Ancient Sword Mound, housing thirty million precious swords!"

"Among them are those left by the original master of the Sword Tomb, as well as swords left by Sword Cultivators who died here after entering!"

"I will give you only one month. After one month, if you can defeat me here, you may leave this Sword Tomb!"

"If you cannot defeat me, then the sword at your waist will also remain here!"

Hearing this,

Chen Xian's mind raced.

"Then from ancient times until now, how many people have defeated Senior and walked out of the Sword Tomb?"

The old man said indifferently, "Three!"

Chen Xian's heart skipped a beat.

Thirty million swords.

And in the end, only three people came out alive.

This probability was likely less than one in ten million!

The old man seemed to see through Chen Xian's thoughts.

He gave a cold laugh.

"If you're afraid, you can back out now!"

Back out?

If he backed out now,

he would be a lamb to the slaughter in Jubei City!

Thinking of this, Chen Xian stepped inside without hesitation.

Da Huang followed behind Chen Xian, and a nervous Zhou Duoer walked in with them.

Only the Moon Demon, perched on Chen Xian's shoulder,

looked back at the old man.

He felt the old man looked familiar.

But he couldn't remember where exactly he had seen him!

[Ding! Daily Intelligence has been refreshed!]

[Daily Intelligence 1: Five hundred meters ahead, Sword Qi is rampant. Comprehending Sword Intent here will yield twice the result with half the effort!]

Whew!

Fortunately, he had the System.

If he followed the prompts from the System's intelligence,

he might actually be able to walk out of this Sword Tomb!

[Daily Intelligence 2: Zhou Duoer possesses talent as a Sword Cultivator. In a few years, she will even reach the peak as a Sword Cultivator Great Emperor!]

What the hell?

Doesn't Zhou Duoer have the Bloodline of the Divine Phoenix Clan?

He had been teaching Zhou Duoer using fire-attribute Divine Abilities and knowledge!

It turned out the direction was completely wrong!

Zhou Duoer was actually destined to reach the Emperor's throne as a Sword Cultivator!

It was truly a stroke of luck.

No wonder the System wanted him to bring Zhou Duoer along.

The crux of the matter was here.

[Daily Intelligence 3: The Host can use the elephant bone sword to comprehend Sword Intent and develop the third stage of the elephant bone sword!]

The third stage of the elephant bone sword!

The first stage was Mountain Suppression!

The second stage was Trample!

Those were the only parts of the elephant bone sword's Legacy in his mind.

He didn't expect there to be a third stage.

He quickly swapped the sword at his waist.

Today's three pieces of intelligence made Chen Xian feel incredibly excited.

Because every piece of intelligence was almost directly related to improving his strength.

With this information, he could focus on increasing his cultivation.

Leading Zhou Duoer to the place where Sword Qi was rampant,

he said seriously, "Zhou Duoer, you will also sit here with me now and sense the Sword Qi."

"Eh?"

"Is the Young Lord going to teach me how to cultivate immortals?"

Ever since that day when the Young Lord used yaochi holy water to cleanse her marrow and refine her bones,

Zhou Duoer had been looking forward to this day.

Hearing the Young Lord say it personally today, it was impossible for Zhou Duoer not to be excited!

Chen Xian nodded.

"Comprehend Sword Intent!"

One large and one small figure sat there, cross-legged, sensing the Sword Qi flying through the air.

Da Huang naturally lay on the ground, appearing to rest but actually acting as a Protector for Chen Xian.

The Moon Demon also watched the surrounding thick fog vigilantly!

"This place is not friendly!"

"I really don't know if we can walk out of here alive!"

At the same time!

In Jubei City.

It was already daytime.

Liu Ruyan was once again blocked outside the Jubei Marquiss Residence.

In the past, she had turned a blind eye to Chen Xian's many invitations.

Instead, she viewed him as a burden.

But ever since Chen Xian became able to cultivate, Liu Ruyan increasingly felt that he had become unpredictable.

She, in turn, cared more and more about Chen Xian's feelings.

Today, she came to the residence once again.

"Commander Liu, our Marquis of Jubei has gone to the Beast Forest. It's no use for you to come to our place every day!"

"He went to the Beast Forest?"

"What did he go there for?"
