107: The Nether Dragon Overturning the Sea and Devouring the Void Sword Manual
The Sword Qi was like a black dragon, emerging into the world and shooting straight into the firmament!
At this moment, the sword technique Chen Chuanjie performed had far exceeded the power of the Third Layer of Qi Refining; his entire body's magic power was completely drained by this single strike!
"Boom!"
The Poisonous Insect Shroud descending from the sky was pierced with a massive hole by this black Sword Qi, shrinking to the size of a small bowl and falling to the ground.
Yet that ink-black Sword Qi still had not dissipated; it charged straight at the old man, carrying an icy, bone-chilling aura full of violence—domineering and cruel!
"Ah, what sword technique is this?"
The old man cried out in alarm. He never expected that the Magical Artifact he relied on to dominate could not even resist a single Move. Now, this terrifying Sword Qi was coming for him.
He knew he absolutely could not let this Sword Qi touch him, or he would undoubtedly die!
"Two-Winged Black Centipede, block it!"
At the critical moment, the old man could no longer care about the life or death of his treasure. He only wanted to save his life, hurriedly summoning the Two-Winged Black Centipede to block the Sword Qi.
"Crack!"
But the result left the old man in despair. The Two-Winged Black Centipede, which was tough enough to go head-to-head with ordinary Magical Artifacts, was sliced directly into two sections by the pitch-black Sword Qi, failing to block it for even a second!
"Demonic... sword... monster!"
The black Sword Qi surged through the old man's body, and a transparent hole appeared in his chest. He looked at Chen Chuanjie and the battered netherworld sword in his hand, spat out a few final words, closed his eyes unwillingly, and fell dead.
This single sword strike was so terrifyingly powerful that it instantly silenced the battlefield!
The two Cultivators still besieging Chuanwu saw such a terrifying strike and the slain old man; their expressions changed drastically as they cried out in shock.
"Elder Black Centipede..."
Chen Chuanwu stood leaning on his sword, his cold gaze sweeping over the two. They immediately felt a chill down their spines and unexpectedly made the same decision at once: they turned and fled without looking back!
"Chuanjie, that strike of yours was just too strong! I'm going to chase those two small fry and pull them up by the roots!"
Chen Chuanwu laughed heartily upon seeing Chuanjie show such might. At the same time, he gripped his long spear, intending to catch up and keep them there.
"Big brother, don't!"
Chen Chuanjie shouted. Chuanwu turned back in confusion, only then realizing that Chen Chuanjie's figure was already swaying, relying entirely on his sword propped against the ground to keep from falling.
"Chuanjie, what's wrong with you?"
Out of concern, Chen Chuanwu ignored the two fleeing men and hurriedly ran toward Chuanjie, catching his body just as he was about to collapse.
"Clean up the battlefield, go home quickly! My... head is so dizzy...!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Chuanjie closed his eyes and fell weakly into Chen Chuanwu's arms.
"Chuanjie? Chuanjie?"
Chen Chuanwu panicked slightly. He shook Chuanjie, but it was useless. On that pale face, the eyes were tightly shut and the brows were furrowed, clearly indicating great pain.
"Go home, find Dad. He will definitely have a way!"
Thinking of his father's medical skills, Chen Chuanwu felt like a drowning man grasping at the last straw. He quickly led the horses, cleaned the battlefield, looted the bodies, took Chuanjie with him, and sped toward Kaoshan Village!
Inside the Courtyard House in Kaoshan Village!
Chen Changsheng was in the Courtyard House teasing his four-year-old Eldest Grandson. Howling Heaven lay on the ground acting as the Eldest Grandson's toy, looking helpless as his tail was being tugged!
Just then, the sound of hoofbeats reached them. Before Chen Changsheng could even look up, he heard Chuanwu's shout.
"Dad, come quickly and look at Chuanjie!"
Chen Changsheng's brow furrowed. He could hear the panic and anxiety in Chuanwu's voice.
So he hurried to the door, just in time to see Chuanwu dismounting with the unconscious Chuanjie.
"What happened, Eldest Son? What's wrong with your third brother?"
Chen Changsheng hurried forward to help support Chuanjie, asking as they walked into the house.
"It's a long story. We encountered the Gu God Cult; they ambushed us halfway..."
Chen Chuanwu immediately recounted the events of taking Chuanjie to the Spirit Market, choosing the netherworld sword, meeting Sword Immortal Qing Ping, and finally being ambushed by the Gu God Cult.
Chen Changsheng was somewhat speechless. Usually, the third son seemed so honest and quiet, yet when he caused trouble, it was something major!
"Chuanwu, don't worry. Let me see what's going on!"
After years of research, although Chen Changsheng couldn't be called a national master of medicine, his skills were quite profound.
He checked Chuanjie's pulse and found that his body was completely normal, without the slightest issue.
"Chuanjie's pulse shows no problems. Why would he be unconscious?"
Chen Changsheng was temporarily at a loss, furrowing his brows in deep thought.
Meanwhile, inside Chen Chuanjie's mind, he was undergoing a Legacy that could completely change his fate!
Within Chen Chuanjie's Sea of Consciousness, a pitch-black figure in a black robe appeared out of nowhere. Holding a pitch-black long sword, the figure demonstrated Moves while reciting scriptures.
"...Nether Dragon... Sea-Overturning... Void-Swallowing... Sword Canon!"
At this moment, Chen Chuanjie could not perceive anything from the outside world; he could only immerse himself in his Sea of Consciousness, firmly memorizing the black figure's scriptures and sword techniques!
Finally, the pitch-black figure finished the demonstration, then his form vanished into thin air, and Chen Chuanjie emerged from his state of immersion in the Sea of Consciousness.
"Dad, Big Brother... what are you doing?"
Chen Chuanjie opened his eyes, just in time to see the worried faces of Chen Changsheng and Chuanwu as they leafed through medical texts.
"Chuanjie, you're awake! You scared me to death, kid!"
Seeing Chuanjie awake, Chen Chuanwu stepped forward and punched him hard in the chest, then said with a hearty laugh.
Chen Changsheng also breathed a long sigh of relief, but he still felt that Chuanjie's fainting was abnormal and feared some underlying cause, so he walked to the bedside and asked Chuanjie.
"I heard from your brother that during the fight, you used an extremely powerful sword technique and then fell unconscious. Do you know what happened?"
A look of contemplation appeared in Chen Chuanjie's eyes. Then he looked at the netherworld sword nearby, his eyes lighting up as he spoke:
"Dad, during the fight, a sword technique appeared in my mind. After I performed it, I fell unconscious. I think this was all because of this netherworld sword!"
"On the surface, it's an ordinary magical sword, but it actually hides a Legacy. My ability to perform that sword technique must have been its test!"
"While I was unconscious, a black figure recited and demonstrated a Cultivation Technique to me called the 'Eel-Dragon Overturning Sea Devouring Void Sword Canon'. Once I had memorized it, I woke up!"
Hearing Chuanjie's words, Chen Changsheng couldn't help but gasp. During this time, he had read many miscellaneous books related to cultivation, and one of them happened to contain knowledge about the naming of an Immortal Cultivation Manual.
"Qi Refining uses Mantras, Foundation Establishment uses Methods, Golden Core uses Canons, and Nascent Soul uses Scriptures!"
"Third Son, the Cultivation Technique you inherited is named as a 'Canon'; it's very likely a Cultivation Technique that contains a Golden Core Legacy!"
Chen Changsheng said, exhaling a long breath. The two brothers, Chuanjie and Chuanwu, were instantly stunned. They were only in the Early Qi Refining Stage; none of them had expected to come into contact with a Golden Core Cultivation Technique!
"This matter must absolutely not be spread to outsiders!"
Chen Chuanwu reacted immediately. The Gu God Cult was willing to become Marauder Cultivators just for a magical sword related to a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, let alone the attraction of a Golden Core Cultivation Technique. It would definitely set the entire Annan Prefecture ablaze!
