249: The Guardian of the Scam

Only by breaking the Blood Rust's erosion and Seal on the broken sword could Shen Xi possibly gain the broken sword's recognition.

After all, the broken sword's previous owner was a mighty expert whose power could rival creation.

It was clearly impossible for it to acknowledge a mere young man in the Xiantian Realm, barely twenty years old.

Only if Shen Xi could save the broken sword would the broken sword acknowledge him.

This was also Shen Xi's Opportunity.

If the broken sword wasn't in its current state, he wouldn't even be able to come into contact with such a Divine Might Sharp Weapon, let alone have the qualifications to look up to it.

"Since that's the case, why is the test limited to the Dian Ling Realm?"

Shen Xi asked, puzzled.

Since the goal was to resolve the Blood Rust and restore the broken sword's former Divine Might.

Then the Realm restriction would be meaningless, wouldn't it?

What about the Embryonic Stage?

What about the Fetus Transformation?

As long as one could save the broken sword, what Realm couldn't do it?

"Because, if the master were alive, with his talent, even if he were only in the Xiantian Realm, he could remove these Blood Rust that have lost their divine essence."

"Of course, not everyone is the master, so I widened the restriction to the Dian Ling Realm."

"This was the broken sword's Sword Spirit's last request before falling into a deep sleep; if its next master isn't a Prodigy of exceptional talent, then it would rather fall into a permanent sleep until death than awaken."

Little Doll explained again.

"Is this the pride of a Sword Cultivator?"

Shen Xi mused.

They all say the sword follows its master.

Whatever the master is like, the Sword Spirit is like.

Clearly, the broken sword's previous owner was an arrogant Sword Cultivator with his own principles and pursuits.

Because of this, the broken sword, which had followed its master for many years, was also full of arrogance.

How could such a proud broken sword's Sword Spirit allow its new master to be a good-for-nothing?

If it couldn't meet its requirements, it would rather be completely corroded by the Blood Rust until death.

And breaking the Blood Rust Seal in the Dian Ling Realm was the broken sword's requirement.

Only in this way could it prove that its new master was a Prodigy Genius second only to the former mighty expert.

"The broken sword's Sword Spirit and I have been good friends for a long time, our acquaintance can be measured in millions of years."

"Therefore, I naturally don't want it to truly die from Blood Rust erosion."

"But I also know its temper; what it has decided, no one can change, and if it doesn't meet its requirements, even if it's saved, it will choose to end itself."

"This level of weapon, its Artifact Spirit is no different from a human. It already has its own independent consciousness."

"And you are even more excellent than I imagined; though only in the Xiantian Realm, you were able to break one ten-thousandth of the Blood Rust. Whether by accident or Opportunity, you have shown me hope."

Little Doll smiled exceptionally brightly.

He didn't want the broken sword to die like this.

Furthermore, the broken sword was related to another important matter.

And Shen Xi gave Little Doll hope.

"Millions of years as a unit!"

Shen Xi couldn't help but gasp.

The Tower of the Heavens, the broken sword, and the broken sword's master were all from an era far more ancient than he had imagined.

He had originally thought it was only tens of thousands of years ago.

Now it seemed he had greatly underestimated the era in which the Tower of the Heavens appeared.

And this made him even more shocked.

The Blood Rust on the broken sword was blood left over from that era.

After such a long time, millions of years, the divine essence had long since disappeared, yet it could still easily obliterate Illusory Beast in the Dian Ling Realm.

If it were a fresh drop of blood, wouldn't it be able to obliterate everything?

What Secluded Factions, they were nothing!

What Martial Dao Five Realms, they were not worth mentioning.

The more Shen Xi thought about it, the more he felt a chill down his spine.

He felt that he had accidentally become involved in a circle far beyond his current level.

"Oh dear! I accidentally said too much. With your current Realm, you are not qualified to understand these matters at all. I was just too happy, so I couldn't help but say some extra nonsense."

"Don't think so much; diligently Cultivate and break the Blood Rust Seal is the priority. I look forward to the day you become that old fellow broken sword's new master."

Little Doll realized he had said too much and immediately changed the subject, casually painting a grand picture for Shen Xi.

Before preparing to fall into a deep sleep, Little Doll said one last thing: "A friendly reminder, this Sealed Land is not as simple as you imagine. What you have come into contact with now is just the tip of the iceberg. If you can grasp the Opportunity, the gains will definitely not be less than the three great Opportunity lands."

"Also, let me tell you one more thing: you can only enter and exit the Sealed Land three times. You have already used up three opportunities, so you cannot leave here. Your companions have only used two opportunities. Once they leave, do not let them enter again."

My goodness!

Shen Xi's pupils constricted.

Only three entries and exits!

He had no idea.

And he had already used up all three opportunities.

Before, when Shen Xi went to test whether the Sealed Land could be freely entered and exited, he had already used one Opportunity, so he had used one more leaving Opportunity than Liu Yiyi and the others.

This meant that Shen Xi was trapped in the Sealed Land.

To leave, he would have to find another way.

"Why didn't you say so earlier!"

Shen Xi couldn't help but complain.

Little Doll clearly knew everything, but just didn't tell him.

Moreover, he only told him after he had used up all three opportunities, which was clearly a trick to trap him.

In fact, that was exactly the case.

Little Doll was intentionally honing Shen Xi.

As the guardian of the Tower of the Heavens left by that mighty expert, Little Doll's character was naturally full of arrogance.

In his opinion, if Shen Xi wanted to become the successor of that mighty expert, his character at the very least could not be timid.

There were no flowers that grew up in a greenhouse.

True Strong are all forged through struggles between life and death.

"Everyone, I have something very important to tell you."

After Little Doll fell into a deep sleep, Shen Xi immediately turned his gaze to his companions.

The matter of three entry and exit opportunities was too important; he had to inform his companions in advance.

"Brother Shen, what happened?"

"Xi Zi, just say whatever you want!"

"We're all our own people, feel free to speak."

Everyone spoke up, one after another.

They thought Shen Xi was going to tell them how he dealt with the Illusory Beast.

After all, though it seemed long, Shen Xi's conversation with Little Doll actually only took a few minutes.

Everyone was still discussing the topic of the Illusory Beast from before.

"Regarding the Sealed Land, you can actually only enter and exit three times freely. You have already used two opportunities. After you leave next time, do not enter the Sealed Land again, or you will not be able to leave."
