524: Three sword moves, open the box

Ye Gucheng calmly said, “I tested your spiritual bones back then, and you were born with 廢骨, making it difficult to embark on the path of cultivation. Now you are so extraordinary, it seems you have some great opportunities.”

Can Phoenix Blood turn 廢骨 into spiritual bones?

There's a slight possibility, but it's very rare.

Besides that, there's also the option of transplanting spiritual bones.

In his opinion, Xie Weilou's ability to embark on the path of cultivation had nothing to do with either of those.

Xie Weilou smiled faintly, “There was indeed a stroke of good fortune.”

Ye Gucheng said, “Forget it! This is your own fortune, and I shouldn't inquire. Since you're here, I'll bestow upon you a sword art.”

He flicked his sleeve, and a jade slip flew towards Xie Weilou.

“......”

Xie Weilou took the jade slip.

Ye Gucheng said, “I cultivate the Banished Immortal Sword, a technique inherited from an ancient powerful being. Before, I also obtained a Void Heaven Sword Art in the Void Heaven Sword Arena. I fused the two and discussed them with Fourth Mr., ultimately creating three sword forms, which are within this jade slip.”

“They are Heavenly Outer Flying Immortal, Immortal Palace Descent, and Buried Immortal Sword. The names might be a bit arrogant, but we sword cultivators should naturally possess the will to cleave the heavens with our swords and slay gods to destroy their paths. You can go back and thoroughly comprehend them.”

Xie Weilou bowed, “Thank you, Sword Immortal.”

The names Ye Gucheng chose were indeed very arrogant.

However, Xie Weilou understood that the other party was a Sword Immortal, with unfathomable cultivation, and had even discussed with Fourth Mr. Choosing such names indicated that this sword art was extremely formidable, definitely not ordinary.

Ye Gucheng seemed to recall something and added, “Your Zhenxi Marquis Manor is quite interesting. When I tested your 廢骨 back then, your father seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, which puzzled me...”

Xie Weilou smiled faintly, “A mere 廢骨 like me is already so dissolute and worthless. If I had been tested with spiritual bones, wouldn't I bring disaster upon the world?”

Upon hearing this, Ye Gucheng couldn't help but chuckle, “What you said makes some sense.”

Xie Weilou bowed and said, “I won't disturb Sword Immortal's cultivation. I'll take my leave now.”

“Hmm!”

Ye Gucheng gently waved his hand.

“......”

Xie Weilou flew away.

——————

After leaving Heavenly Outer Peak.

Xie Weilou was walking on a grand avenue in the Holy Academy when he happened to see a woman in a white dress. Her eyes were lively, and a sacred aura permeated her body.

“Jiang Er!”

Xie Weilou spoke.

The woman in the white dress was Jiang Yu. When she saw Xie Weilou, a look of joy appeared on her face, and she quickly stepped forward to bow, “Greetings, Marquis.”

Xie Weilou observed Jiang Yu and nodded gently, “Shackle Realm (Peak), not bad.”

Counting the time, it seemed they had been in the Holy Academy for quite a while.

Jiang Yu chuckled, “The Holy Academy is a good place. If I hadn't entered here, it would have been difficult for me to enter the Shackles Realm.”

She could have actually advanced to the Territory Expansion Realm earlier, but she had been suppressing it, fully focusing on building her foundation, only to go further.

Xie Weilou smiled indifferently and handed a bottle of pills, a spiritual artifact, and two ordinary artifacts to Jiang Yu, “Take these things. Cultivate well.”

Jiang Yu saw the things Xie Weilou handed her, and she quickly shook her head, “Marquis, these things are too valuable.”

Xie Weilou chuckled, “They are just some ordinary items, not valuable at all. Just take them.”

He tucked the items into Jiang Yu's arms and then left with his hands behind his back.

“Marquis...”

Jiang Yu stared blankly at Xie Weilou, her eyes filled with emotion.

Looking across the Great Xia, besides her master, only Xie Weilou treated her so well.

Thunder Peak.

At the peak of the northern Thunder Mountain, Xie Weilou took out the jade slip given by Ye Gucheng and injected a stream of spiritual power into it.

Buzz!

The jade slip shattered, a terrifying killing aura permeated, and some runes instantly appeared deep within Xie Weilou's soul. He closed his eyes and began to comprehend seriously.

A few breaths later, he opened his eyes, a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and his eyes showed a solemn expression.

This sword art that Ye Gucheng imparted to him was extremely profound, even more terrifying than he had imagined. It carried an extremely dreadful killing intent, enough to damage his divine soul.

It was just like the Void Scripture and Star River Scripture that Lin Qinghuang had previously imparted.

“What a terrifying sword art, this is a sword of slaughter...”

Xie Weilou took a deep breath and continued to close his eyes, earnestly comprehending.

In a flash.

Seven days passed.

A powerful sword intent permeated Xie Weilou's body, and his entire being seemed to have transformed into a human divine sword.

In seven days, he had barely managed to grasp the three sword forms, but it was only a bare grasp, far from reaching the grand completion stage.

This sword art only had three forms, but they were ever-changing and could be continuously deduced.

In the path of the sword, he now possessed three sword arts: Godly Ghost Seven Kill Sword, Righteous Sword Art, and these terrifying three sword moves.

“Whew!”

Xie Weilou opened his eyes, his face pale, with a hint of fatigue between his brows.

These three sword moves were even more terrifying than he had imagined, truly dreadful swords of slaughter.

To truly comprehend them would require a lot more time. This period of comprehension had caused enormous consumption of his soul.

“I'll comprehend it later.”

Xie Weilou took a deep breath and took out a few pills to consume.

Half an incense stick later.

His complexion recovered somewhat. He murmured to himself, “Perhaps it's time to look at the box Qinghuang gave me...”

He took out the box Lin Qinghuang had given him earlier.

Click!

After the box was opened, there was a reddish-yellow scroll and a letter inside.

“......”

Xie Weilou took out the letter, opened it, and read it.

[Xie Weilou, by the time you open the box and see this letter, I should already be home. That scroll contains scriptures I transcribed from the eastern wasteland tower. It is the Eastern Wasteland Scripture, reputed as the number one scripture in the Eastern Wasteland.

This scripture is only half complete; the full scripture has not yet appeared. This scripture is extremely domineering, and only those who surpass Divine Court can cultivate it. When you surpass the Divine Court Realm, you can cultivate the Eastern Wasteland Scripture; it can help you refine your Dao! Cultivate well, and then come find me in the Eastern Wasteland. I will be waiting for you.] — Lin Qinghuang.

“Eastern Wasteland Scripture...”

Xie Weilou looked at the scroll in the box, a contemplative look in his eyes.

He put the letter back in the box and put the box away again. Since it could only be cultivated after surpassing Divine Court, he would look at it later.

After a brief thought.

Xie Weilou took out another gray metal box.

This box was given to him by his third uncle before he left. It had Restriction on it, and he didn't know what good things were inside.

Now that his Restriction had reached the seventh rank, he could probably unlock the Restriction on it.

Xie Weilou stretched out his hand and quickly deciphered the Restriction on the box.

A moment later.

The Restriction on the box were broken. Xie Weilou opened the box, and there was only a letter inside, not the good things he had imagined.

“Another letter...”

Xie Weilou found it a bit strange.

He had thought his third uncle had left some heaven-defying item inside the box, but it turned out to be just a letter. What great secret could be in the letter?

His third uncle didn't mention it beforehand but left it in the box. Could the content of this letter be very important?

He picked up the letter, opened it, and read it...
