103: Taichu Sword Tomb, interception mission

Yuan Changfeng's words were forceful and resonated deeply.

Everyone was impressed by his magnanimous statement, and many even nodded in agreement.

They felt that Yuan Changfeng was indeed worthy of being the number one person in Taichu Dao Academy; such magnanimity was truly rare.

In contrast, Jiang Chen seemed somewhat aggressive and pressing.

However, not only did Jiang Chen's face show no sign of discomfort, but his smile grew wider.

This was precisely the outcome he wanted.

"Good."

Jiang Chen nodded lightly, his gaze sweeping across the entire venue.

"Since that's the case, why wait for another day? Let's do it now."

Yuan Changfeng's pupils constricted slightly.

Now?

He had initially thought Jiang Chen would choose a time after the Ten Thousand Dao Tea Ceremony.

He hadn't expected him to be so impatient.

Good!

The sooner this major hidden danger was dealt with, the sooner he could rest easy!

"Good!"

Yuan Changfeng gave a cold shout, no longer hesitating.

He transformed into a magnificent rainbow, tearing through the clouds, and swiftly flew towards a certain direction deep within the Taichu Dao Academy!

Seeing this, Jiang Chen merely smiled faintly.

He slowly turned around to look at Nangong Mingyue beside him.

Nangong Mingyue also stood up at this moment, her clear eyes fixed on Jiang Chen.

"Be careful in everything."

She only spoke four short words, but the concern within them was evident.

Jiang Chen held her slightly cool jade hand, giving her a reassuring look.

Ji Qingxue, who was nearby, moved her lips slightly, as if wanting to say something, but ultimately remained silent.

She couldn't understand Jiang Chen.

In her opinion, there were clearly too many ways to resolve the situation, so why did he choose this particular method?

Subsequently, Jiang Chen also stepped forward, following at a leisurely pace.

"Let's go! Let's see!"

"How can I miss such a grand event?!"

"This is much more interesting than any small Dao discussion meeting!"

On Tiandao Peak, the place instantly became deserted.

All the Prodigies, regardless of their status or origin,

all transformed into streaks of divine rainbows, following closely behind Jiang Chen, afraid of missing this rare good show.

Nangong Mingyue and Ji Qingxue exchanged glances, then immediately set off and followed.

Xiao Tiandu and the others naturally followed closely behind Jiang Chen.

Wen Yan, while flying, didn't forget to wink at Xiao Tiandu.

"Old Xiao, what do you think the Saint is playing at? That Sword Tomb is extremely dangerous!"

Xiao Tiandu was too lazy to pay attention to him... Taichu Sword Tomb.

This place was located in a desolate mountain range deep within the Taichu Dao Academy.

As far as the eye could see, not a blade of grass grew, and the landscape was scarred.

The ground was littered with various broken ancient swords.

Some were heavily rusted, others broken into several pieces, and each sword emanated a chillingly sharp Sword Intent.

Endless Sword Intent gathered together, swirling and whistling through the valleys.

Just standing on the periphery, one could feel the sharp Qi rushing towards them, as if it would tear one's Divine Soul apart.

By the time Jiang Chen and the others arrived, Yuan Changfeng was already waiting there.

He stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes burning as he gazed at the Sword Tomb entrance.

The undisguised longing and excitement were a stark contrast to his previous gentle and refined demeanor.

Just at this moment,

the Void Realm twisted slightly.

An old man dressed in gray coarse cloth, with white hair and beard, appeared silently before everyone.

He looked unremarkable, like an ordinary old man on the verge of death.

But the profound, ocean-like aura emanating from him made all the Prodigies present feel a tremor in their hearts.

Ninth-realm, Saint!

"Greetings, Tomb Guardian Elder!"

Yuan Changfeng bowed respectfully.

The old man in coarse cloth merely glanced at everyone indifferently, his gaze cloudy.

Finally, his gaze fell upon Jiang Chen and Yuan Changfeng.

"The Sword Tomb is a Forbidden Ground of this Dao Academy."

The Tomb Guardian Elder's hoarse voice sounded.

"Are you two entering?"

"Replying to Tomb Guardian Elder, yes, we are."

Yuan Changfeng responded.

The Tomb Guardian Elder looked at Yuan Changfeng and slowly nodded.

"Since that's the case, the time limit is one hour."

"The Opportunities obtained within are up to your individual abilities."

Then the Tomb Guardian Elder said no more, simply waving his hand.

Buzz!

The invisible barrier covering the entrance to the valley immediately rippled, and a portal slowly opened.

"Brother Jiang, please."

Yuan Changfeng made a 'please' gesture towards Jiang Chen.

Immediately, he could no longer hold back, stepping inside, his figure instantly disappearing from everyone's sight.

Jiang Chen, unhurriedly, also stepped in.

As the two entered, the portal slowly closed.

Outside, it instantly became a frenzy.

"Who do you think will win?"

"Is that even a question? Of course, it's Yuan Changfeng. It's said that Yuan Changfeng's Taichu Sword Dao has already reached Major Achievement. How can Jiang Chen compare?"

Nangong Mingyue and Ji Qingxue stood side by side, neither woman speaking, their beautiful eyes fixed on the closed passage.

At the same time,

the news of Jiang Chen and Yuan Changfeng entering the Sword Tomb spread like wildfire throughout the entire Taichu Dao Academy.

For a time, countless Dao Academy Disciples, and even some Elders, were startled.

Streaks of powerful auras rose from all directions of the Dao Academy, transforming into streams of light, converging towards the Taichu Sword Tomb.

Inside the Sword Tomb.

Unlike the outside, this was a strange space of dazzling colors.

In the sky, countless sword shadows emitting various colored lights floated.

Each sword shadow represented a Legacy or insight left behind by an ancient Sword Cultivator.

As soon as he stepped into this place, Yuan Changfeng's body trembled violently!

He felt a strong summons!

That summons came from the deepest part of the Sword Tomb, as if it were a destined part of his Bloodline!

"Primal Sword Intent Origin!"

Yuan Changfeng's breathing instantly became incredibly rapid, and his eyes began to redden!

The Opportunity he had painstakingly sought was right before him!

He didn't hesitate for a moment, instantly pushing his speed to the limit, transforming into a streak of light, and frantically rushing in the direction from which the sensation came.

He wanted to get that supreme Opportunity before Jiang Chen!

As long as he obtained it, he would be able to Breakthrough in one fell swoop!

By then, slaying Jiang Chen would be as easy as turning his hand!

However,

just after Yuan Changfeng shot out like an arrow from a bowstring,

Jiang Chen, who had entered a step later, stopped.

He ignored Yuan Changfeng, and didn't even look at the floating sword shadows of Legacy, which were enough to drive any Sword Cultivator crazy.

He just stood at the entrance, leisurely observing his surroundings.

He bent down, picked up a rusty piece of iron from the ground, and gently rubbed it between his fingertips.

Or, he would comment on a stone sword broken in half.

If this scene were to be seen by outsiders, it would surely drop their jaws.

This demeanor, how could it be in some place of Opportunity?

It was more like an old man taking a stroll.

And just at this moment, in Jiang Chen's mind, the System's notification sound rang out.

"Ding! Detected that the child of destiny, Yuan Changfeng, is approaching his crucial Opportunity, the Primal Sword Intent Origin!"

"Ding! Intercept mission issued: Please, host, seize the Primal Sword Intent Origin before the child of destiny!"
