Enter the Sword Tomb

Time flies!

In a flash, three more days passed.

The area outside the Sword Tomb was packed with a dense crowd.

Essentially half of the forces in the entire Void Domain were present.

The scale of the event and the grandeur of its momentum made even Zhong Qing, who was accustomed to various grand spectacles, turn his head in surprise.

On this day, the weather was fine, and the sky was clear and cloudless for miles.

A grand and ancient voice came from the direction of the Saint Sword Sect.

“Today, the Sword Tomb officially opens!”

“All those with destiny may enter and seek their fortune!”

As the magnificent and ancient voice resounded, the array restrictions of the Divine Weapon Mountain Range flickered three times with a faint blue light before disappearing.

In an instant, everyone present erupted in excitement.

Everyone scrambled to fly towards the center of the Sword Tomb.

Because there, lay the true Sword Immortal Inheritance.

The dense, black figures, packed together like locusts crossing the border, charged forth with the momentum of ten thousand horses galloping, their Aura resounding through the sky.

Above the mountain range, as everyone entered the Sword Tomb one after another,

Sword Spiriter couldn't sit still any longer.

“Benefactor, let’s go in too. The others from my Sect should have arrived as well; we can meet up inside.”

“Although our goal isn't the Sword Immortal Inheritance, there are many clever people. I’ve seen some who are already rushing towards the Supreme Legacy.”

“If we miss the opportunity, it will be too late.”

Her face was anxious as she spoke.

Within the Sword Tomb, every single sword represents a Legacy.

Once this Legacy is taken, it's gone.

Zhong Qing saw her urgency, slowly took a sip of wine, and smiled, “Let’s go!”

As Zhong Qing spoke, Jian Ling’er had already impatiently spread her figure.

Looking at the Sword Tomb from the outside felt somewhat like viewing flowers through a mist.

Although magnificent, there was always a sense of haziness.

Only by entering it personally could one perceive deeper things.

Zhong Qing followed Jian Ling’er unhurriedly.

He observed the Divine Weapons scattered all over the mountains and fields.

These Divine Weapons, naturally, couldn't compare to those he had collected.

However, they possessed something that Zhong Qing’s Divine Weapons lacked.

In this vast forest of swords, Zhong Qing felt a special vitality.

Weapons are mere inanimate objects, but at this moment, these Divine Weapons felt as if they were alive.

A gentle breeze blew slowly!

Divine Weapons all over the mountain hummed.

Some with joy, some with sorrow.

They could stir people's emotions of joy and grief.

People choose Divine Weapons, and Divine Weapons choose people.

While some people were choosing Divine Weapons, the Divine Weapons were also choosing suitable inheritors.

Some people in the sword forest were weeping and wailing while embracing long swords, while others, holding Divine Weapons, refused to let go and laughed up at the sky.

These people had clearly entered the illusions emitted by the Divine Weapons.

Although the Sword Tomb gathered the Legacies of countless Seniors and experts, not just anyone could take these Legacies.

The Divine Weapon’s owner would set various trials through the Divine Weapon, and only by passing these trials could one truly gain the Divine Weapon’s recognition and thus obtain the Legacy.

Jian Ling’er flew all the way, and Zhong Qing followed all the way.

The deeper one went into the center of the Sword Tomb, the higher the grade of the Divine Weapons became.

The stronger the Legacy they represented.

Among them, there were also many individuals, or even multiple forces, eyeing the same Divine Weapon Legacy.

At this point, it was a test of strength.

Whoever was stronger, whoever had the bigger fist, would be the first to have the opportunity to acquire the Divine Weapon Legacy.

The entire Sword Tomb felt chaotic to Zhong Qing.

In the distant mountain range, a giant sword, a hundred feet tall, stood majestically above the forest.

The giant sword was like a mountain, and below it, two major forces had gathered.

“Revered Master!”

Jian Ling’er’s eyes lit up, and she joyfully called out to a middle-aged man among them.

The man was dressed in green, with a green emblem on his chest, on which was imprinted the character 'Ling'.

This was, astonishingly, the symbol of the Lingjian Sect.

Jian Ling’er’s Revered Master was named Peak Lord Shi Ying!

A burly man eight feet tall, with a broad back and muscular shoulders, carrying a giant sword a full height in length.

He was the current Peak Revered Master of Lingjian Sect and one of the three Venerables of Lingjian Sect.

This time, he was in charge of leading the team to the Sword Tomb to compete for the Divine Weapon Legacy.

Upon seeing Jian Ling’er, Peak Lord Shi Ying let out a hearty laugh: “Girl, where have you been all this time? I’ve been looking for you everywhere!”

“But you’ve come at just the right time. Watch as your Master obtains the Supreme Legacy for you.”

After Jian Ling’er greeted her Master,

Her little mouth instantly pouted.

“Master, how dare you even say that.”

“This time, you insisted on bringing Reverse Defect out, saying it was for me to gain experience and growth, to protect myself. Little did I know, it almost cost your disciple her life.”

“Oh?”

Hearing this, Peak Lord Shi Ying frowned.

“Who dared bully my precious disciple? I’ll tear him apart alive!”

His eyes widened in fury, like a violent male lion, his entire being exuding Evil Qi, and his Venerable Realm Five Heavens cultivation fully erupted, giving off a heart-stopping sense of oppression.

“Who else but that Sword Maniac who has always coveted my Lingjian Sect's Reverse Defect.”

Upon hearing this, Peak Lord Shi Ying's face showed surprise.

“You actually encountered him?”

“My dear disciple, how did you escape?”

Sword Maniac, with a Venerable Realm Fourth Heaven cultivation, although his Realm was lower than his, even if he personally faced him, he might not be able to subdue him.

Considering his disciple's strength, if she were targeted by him, just thinking about it made him feel a lingering fear.

“Naturally, your disciple is blessed with good fortune and received assistance from a noble person!”

“Master, let me introduce you.”

“This is Benefactor Zhong Qing, who saved my life.”

“Without him, you might never have seen your disciple again in this life!”

“Benefactor, this is my Master, Peak Lord Shi Ying, the Peak Master of Lingjian Sect.”

As Jian Ling’er introduced the two parties,

Peak Lord Shi Ying couldn't help but size up Zhong Qing.

The next moment, his eyes froze.

What a handsome young man.

Zhong Qing’s temperament was absolutely the most outstanding he had ever seen.

After a moment, he cupped his fist towards Zhong Qing and said, “Thank you, Your Excellency, for lending a hand to my disciple.”

“My Lingjian Sect owes Your Excellency a favor.”

“If Your Excellency doesn’t mind, during this trip to the Sword Tomb, you may follow my Lingjian Sect’s team.”

“Should danger arise, this old man will fight with his life to ensure your safety.”

Zhong Qing naturally didn't need his protection.

If he encountered a crisis that even he couldn't handle, a Venerable Realm expert would be of no use whatsoever.

However, he found it difficult to refuse the obvious goodwill shown by the other party.

He immediately cupped his fist towards the other party and said, “In that case, many thanks!”

As they conversed, a middle-aged man from the opposing side sternly shouted, “Peak Lord Shi Ying, if you want to reminisce, go home and do it.”

“My Gengjin Sword Sect has set its sights on this Supreme Legacy.”

“This time, my Gengjin Sword Sect is determined to obtain this Supreme Legacy.”

“If you know what’s good for you, retreat quickly. Otherwise, this place might very well become your old fellow’s burial ground.”

Upon hearing this, Peak Lord Shi Ying immediately retorted angrily, “Old Ghost Shang Jian, I cannot deny that your Realm is indeed one level higher than mine.”

“But a higher Realm doesn’t necessarily mean stronger combat power.”

“Anyone can say harsh words, but if you want this Supreme Legacy, it depends on whether the sword in my hand agrees.”

He plunged his height-long giant sword into the ground, and a powerful Sword Intent surged from his body.

The atmosphere instantly became tense and volatile.

Just at this critical moment, within the entire Sword Tomb, an anomaly occurred.
