44: Chapter 44 The Former Top-Grade Dao Weapon: The Sword of Slaughter

At the end of this passage was a dark red rectangular platform.

Upon the platform lay a long sword.

So?

The Treasure Trove was this long sword?

Because beyond this platform, there was nothing at all.

Unconsciously, Lin Changqing's gaze fell upon the long sword in front of him.

It was a dark red long sword, over three feet long and four fingers wide.

Engraved upon the scabbard were exquisite, ancient dark red patterns and runes.

A faint aura of slaughter pervaded around it.

After looking at the long sword, Lin Changqing unconsciously glanced at a stone tablet nearby.

A large amount of text was carved onto the stone tablet.

The text briefly introduced the origin of this sword.

The sword's name was the sword of slaughter?

Born specifically for slaughter?

However, whose hands it came from and who forged it remained a mystery.

Tens of millions of years ago, after a grand war, this damaged long sword was hidden here.

The sword of slaughter was a grade-less long sword?

It could continuously grow alongside its master?

It could devour all kinds of things to grow?

At its Peak, it had once reached the height of the Supreme Dao Rank?

Or rather, at its Peak, it was a Supreme Dao Weapon?

Only now...

Tens of millions of years ago, it had already fallen to the Supreme Heaven Rank.

Ever since then, it had been hidden right here.

After reading all this, an expression of amazement appeared on Lin Changqing's face.

Impressive!

Truly impressive!

This sword was actually once a Supreme Dao Weapon?

And a precious sword capable of infinite growth?

At this moment, Lin Changqing unconsciously thought of his Pill Flame.

It seemed these two shared a strikingly similar feature!

Both could continuously grow?

Generally speaking, the ranks of Cultivation Techniques and weapons were divided into major ranks like Mortal, Yellow, Mystic, Earth, Heaven Rank, Spirit, King, Saint, God, Emperor, and Dao, further split into minor grades such as Supreme, High, Medium, and Low Grade.

That meant its current rank wasn't low either.

Supreme Heaven Rank?

Hehe!

As for existences that surpassed the Dao Rank, like his Forbidden Dao Formula, they were simply unimaginable!

"It seems my luck is pretty good."

Thinking of this, Lin Changqing muttered to himself.

An uncontainable smile spread across his face.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Changqing decisively stepped onto the platform and walked up to the sword of slaughter.

Without any hesitation, Lin Changqing grabbed the sword of slaughter directly into his hand.

The instant Lin Changqing grasped the sword of slaughter, a terrifying aura of slaughter burst forth from it and surged into his body.

This aura, which was enough to shatter the Soul of any other Cultivator, could not harm Lin Changqing in the slightest.

In an instant, the aura was annihilated by the Taboo Power within his body.

It was as if it had never appeared at all.

In fact, the Taboo Power in Lin Changqing's body reverse-surged into the sword of slaughter instead.

In a moment, the sword of slaughter completed its owner recognition process.

The Taboo Power slowly nourished the sword of slaughter, just like the Pill Flame inside Lin Changqing's Dantian that was constantly nourished by the Taboo Power.

Unconsciously, Lin Changqing slowly unsheathed the sword of slaughter in his hand.

Just like the scabbard, the blade and edge of the sword of slaughter were also dark red.

On the body and edge of the sword were also numerous ancient dark red patterns and runes.

Lin Changqing merely swung the long sword in his hand casually, and in an instant, the platform in front of him was directly annihilated.

"Impressive!"

Seeing this, Lin Changqing had a look of marvel on his face.

After looking around the area once more with no further reaction, Lin Changqing turned and headed back the way he came.

When Lin Changqing reappeared at the entrance of the passage, the eyes of both Chu Ruoqing and Long Wendao gathered upon him.

And then, they landed on the sword of slaughter at his waist.

This is?

A Supreme Heaven Rank long sword?

Wait!

It can't be?

The so-called Treasure Trove is just a long sword like this?

"Lin Changqing, is this the Treasure Trove?"

Until Lin Changqing returned to her side, Chu Ruoqing couldn't help but ask.

Her tone was also quite strange.

Likewise, Long Wendao, lying on the ground beside her, had a look of strangeness in his huge eyes.

Such a powerful Formation just to guard a single long sword?

Are you kidding?

"Yeah!"

Nodding lightly, Lin Changqing answered.

"Is there a problem?"

Lin Changqing then asked back.

"Don't you think there's a huge problem with this?"

"This Formation is so terrifying, all just to hide a sword like this?"

Hearing Lin Changqing's words, Chu Ruoqing retorted between laughter and tears.

"However, it's not an ordinary Supreme Heaven Rank sword."

Grinning, Lin Changqing spoke slowly.

"Hmm?"

Startled for a moment, Chu Ruoqing couldn't help letting her imagination run wild.

Not an ordinary Supreme Heaven Rank sword?

Then...

Regrettably, however, Lin Changqing had no intention of saying more.

He had reason to believe that if people knew he held a weapon from tens of millions of years ago that was once a Supreme Dao Weapon and capable of infinite growth,

he would likely face endless trouble.

Even old monsters of the Transcendence Realm would probably be unable to sit still, right?

Seeing that Lin Changqing was unwilling to say more, Chu Ruoqing didn't press the matter either.

After pausing briefly, at Lin Changqing's signal, Long Wendao carried the two of them back the way they came.

"Lin Changqing, after returning to Samsara Academy, are you planning to have someone refine the mad blood pills?"

Gazing at Lin Changqing's face, Chu Ruoqing asked with anticipation.

"That's right!"

Nodding lightly, Lin Changqing grinned.

Next, it is time for me to achieve a Breakthrough to the Martial King Realm as well.

When that time comes, those bastards from the Sword Alliance...

At this thought, a faint hint of killing intent unconsciously appeared on Lin Changqing's face.

Receiving Lin Changqing's affirmative answer, Chu Ruoqing felt immense anticipation in her heart.

mad blood pills?

With the mad blood pills, she would be able to undergo Bloodline Awakening.

She just wondered what kind of Bloodline Power she would awaken.

It had to be said that with Long Wendao, a flood dragon mount in the Martial Saint Realm, their travel speed was truly remarkably fast.

Normally, if relying on themselves to return to Samsara Academy, it would take at least ten days to half a month.

However, with Long Wendao carrying them at full speed, it took less than two days to return to the vicinity of Reincarnation City.

It covered thousands of miles in a single day!

In a mountain range near Reincarnation City, Lin Changqing scratched his head in dilemma as he looked at the behemoth that was Long Wendao.

Because bringing this guy back to Samsara Academy... wouldn't that be a bit too high-profile?

Besides, it seemed no one at Samsara Academy was seen bringing spiritual pets along.

"Lin Changqing, how about letting it stay at Jubao Pavilion first?"

Seeming to guess Lin Changqing's thoughts, Chu Ruoqing suggested.

"Alright!"

"..."
