98: The sword of a Grandmaster of the Innate Golden Elixir

Quiet!

Deadly silence!

In the back mountain of the Jiang Family, within an incredibly desolate, silent, and dilapidated valley, Jiang Long, the Jiang Family Head who had just left the Jiang Family main hall not long ago, suddenly arrived.

Decaying, broken dry branches were stepped on by him, emitting a series of "crack-crack" sounds.

Afterward, in this desolate valley, Jiang Long walked for about ten-odd breaths of time, finally stopping outside a mountain cave and bowing respectfully, saying:

“Old Ancestor, Long'er has an important matter and requests an audience.”

“Speak!”

As soon as Jiang Long's voice fell, a leisurely and aged voice came from within the mountain cave.

Seeing this, Jiang Long also hurriedly said:

“Old Ancestor, the situation is like this. Not long ago, the peerless Genius Lin Yi, who had broken through the four-hundred-meter mark before the willpower stone pillar and shook the Heavenly Mountain Sect, and whom our Jiang Family managed to win over with great difficulty, suddenly came to visit just now.”

“His purpose for coming this time is to borrow from our Jiang Family a divine weapon used by a Xiantian Grandmaster who once cultivated the Star River Myriad Forms Saber.”

“Since Xiantian divine weapons are incredibly precious, although I intended to befriend him, after thinking for a moment, I did not dare to make a decision on my own. Therefore, I have come here specifically to ask for the Old Ancestor's instructions.”

“Oh, a Xiantian divine weapon used by a Xiantian Grandmaster who cultivated the Star River Myriad Forms Saber? What does he want such a divine weapon for?”

Hearing Jiang Long's explanation, the voice in the mountain cave expressed slight doubt:

“You should know that Xiantian divine weapons are incredibly powerful, and because of their special structure, only Xiantian Martial Artists have ever been able to unleash their true power.”

“He is a mere Fourth Grade Martial Artist. Even if we give him a divine weapon, he shouldn't be able to use it.”

“This... Long'er doesn't know either.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Long also spoke up:

“That Lin Yi came suddenly today, and as soon as he arrived, he wanted to borrow a Xiantian divine weapon. Although I was a bit confused, I didn't ask.”

“Sigh! Forget it! Since he didn't say, then he naturally has his reasons for not saying. It wouldn't be right for our Jiang Family to pry too deeply. As for the divine weapon?”

Speaking to this point, the voice inside the cave first pondered slightly, and only after four or five breaths did it finally speak:

“Lend him the star origin saber!”

“What! The star origin saber!”

Hearing this, Jiang Long couldn't help but exclaim on the spot.

The star origin saber was an Innate Medium Grade divine weapon, and it was among the most powerful group even among Innate Medium Grade divine weapons.

Because its owner was an Innate Golden Core Grandmaster of the Jiang Family who was ranked on the Heaven Rank several hundred years ago!

Although that Great Grandmaster had switched to other long sabers after breaking through to the Innate Golden Core, the star origin saber was the long saber he had used during the Innate True Essence Realm and Xiantian Golden Core Realm. It had been meticulously nurtured by him for decades using his True Essence and Divine Soul. Its value was absolutely incalculable; no amount of silver could ever buy it!

And now, the Old Ancestor actually wanted to lend this divine saber to Lin Yi?

At this thought, even Jiang Long couldn't help but hesitate slightly.

However, before he could speak, the voice in the mountain cave came leisurely again:

“Go! Long'er, give him that star origin saber.”

“Remember, no matter how precious a treasure is, it ultimately cannot compare to a living person, especially one with limitless potential!”

“Besides, we are only lending him the saber this time, not giving it to him.”

“As long as he doesn't take the star origin saber out of the Heavenly Mountain Sect, the saber won't be lost. This is equivalent to our Jiang Family winning Lin Yi's immense goodwill without paying any price.”

“Such a beneficial and cost-free matter requires no further hesitation.”

“Yes! Old Ancestor is wise!”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Long didn't dare to speak further. He nodded respectfully, then bowed once more before leaving the valley... A moment later, in the Jiang Family main hall.

“Family Head Jiang, has your Jiang Family Old Ancestor agreed to lend me the saber?”

Seeing Jiang Long walking in from outside the hall, Lin Yi quickly stood up and asked him.

“He agreed!”

Jiang Long nodded with a smile:

“Not only did he agree, but our Jiang Family Old Ancestor also agreed to lend you the ‘star origin saber’ used by our Jiang Family Ancestor Jiang Zishan in his youth!”

“What! The star origin saber!”

Hearing this name, Lin Yi was instantly excited.

He had been in the Tianshan Pavilion for several months now. During these months, besides cultivating, Lin Yi had also briefly read some of the Heavenly Mountain Sect's history. Therefore, he had some understanding of the Xiantian experts born in the history of the Heavenly Mountain Sect.

And Jiang Zishan was a super expert who was well-known even in the history of the Heavenly Mountain Sect. At his Peak, he had even been ranked seventh on the Heaven Rank, one rank higher than the current Sect Master of Tianshan Sect, Gu Changsheng!

So his saber, even if it was the one he used in his youth, was definitely one of the most suitable divine sabers for him in the Heavenly Mountain Sect. It would have an incredible promoting effect on his cultivation of the Star River Myriad Forms Saber!

With this long saber, he would be even more confident in achieving the third stage of Limit Breaking Perfection within two years!

“Let's go! Martial Nephew Lin, I will take you to my Jiang Family's Divine Weapon Pavilion to get the saber!”

Seeing Lin Yi's excited look, Jiang Long also smiled slightly, and then led Lin Yi toward the Divine Weapon Pavilion where the Jiang Family stored their divine weapons... Soon, inside the third floor of a massive pavilion in the Jiang Family, Jiang Long arrived with Lin Yi.

This was a huge space of about several hundred square meters. The space was empty, with most of the area being completely vacant.

Only in the central area were five incredibly luxurious golden weapon racks, with each rack holding a single divine weapon.

As for saber-type divine weapons, there was only one. It was a long saber about four feet long, completely pitch-black, but the pitch-black surface of the blade shimmered with spots of starlight, like stars in the night sky, beautiful and dreamlike.

“This is the Innate Medium Grade divine weapon, the star origin saber?”

Seeing the long saber before him, a flash of shock crossed Lin Yi's eyes:

“What a beautiful saber! What a powerful saber!”

“Just by looking at this long saber, it's as if I'm seeing a peerless overlord of the saber who once dominated the world. With my willpower and mental sea, I can actually feel waves of faint pressure.”

“If it were an ordinary Martial Artist below the Seventh Grade, I'm afraid that just by looking at this saber once, their spirit would collapse from the impact of the terrifying will within the saber, right?”

“Terrifying! As expected of the saber used by Ancestral Master Jiang Zishan!”

“Family Head Jiang, may I take it away now?”

“Of course you can!”

Jiang Long smiled:

“The things my Jiang Family promises, we never go back on. Martial Nephew Lin, please!”

After speaking, Jiang Long made a gesture of invitation, and seeing this, Lin Yi no longer hesitated and stepped forward slowly.

Then, with one hand, he grasped the hilt of this Innate Medium Grade divine weapon, the ‘star origin saber’.
