C377 The golden sword!
C377 The golden sword!
Looking at the passageway in front of him, Yang Xie's expression darkened slightly. He summoned the protective energy, walked along the cliff, and entered the passageway.
The cave was terrifyingly quiet. Along the way, only the sound of his own footsteps could be heard. The rustling sound reverberated throughout the cave. It was very clear, giving off a terrifying feeling.
This passage was extremely long, and even after Yang Xie had walked for half a day, he still had not seen an exit, which seemed to be never-ending.
After an unknown amount of time, suddenly, from an extremely far direction came a light 'dong' sound. It was the sound of water dripping onto the ground. In this quiet environment, it was exceptionally clear.
Hearing the sound of the water, Yang Xie's expression changed, he quickened his pace, but his vigilance did not decrease the slightest.
After walking for another half a day, suddenly, a strand of light appeared in front of Yang Xie. At the same time, the sound of the water droplets became clearer.
Yang Xie was shocked, the length of the tunnel was astonishing, it did not seem like a man-made tunnel, but since it was a cave made from sunlight, it was truly unbelievable.
The front of the cave opened up, and Yang Xie appeared in a semicircle shaped cave. In front of the cave, there were two stone doors.
It felt as if the owner of this place had hastily arranged a temporary training quarters.
Seeing that, Yang Xie was a little disappointed, if it was really just a temporary residence, then there might not be any treasures inside.
Of course, although he was thinking this in his heart, Yang Xie did not stop moving. He walked forward and looked at the stone door in front of him.
Suddenly, with a move of his hand, a stream of sword Qi shot out and struck the stone door.
'Bang! ' With a dull thud, the Sword Qi landed on the stone door, and crushed rocks flew everywhere, leaving behind a sword scar that was neither too deep nor too shallow.
Seeing this sword scar, Yang Xie couldn't help but be startled. Even though he had only used thirty percent of the spirit energy in his sword strike, it was enough to break open the stone door.
Yang Xie was not shocked, but instead delighted. The stranger this place was, the more likely it was that treasures would exist here.
Yang Xie's fingers moved consecutively, as many Sword Qi shot out. This time, he had already used seventy percent of his strength.
When the sword qi landed on the stone door, there was a loud bang. The hard stone door finally shattered under this one attack, revealing the scene within.
Behind the stone door was a dimly lit cave. The cave was about a hundred feet in diameter and was round. With a quick sweep of the door, the scene inside could be seen clearly.
In the corner of the cave, there was a round pond, one of which was constantly emitting cold air s, while the other one was boiling over in a wave of heat. It looked very spectacular.
However, Yang Xie's gaze did not stay for long on this pond, as he was attracted by a corpse on a praying mat in the distance.
The skeleton had experienced countless years, and its body had already rotted away. The only thing left was a sparkling white bone, revealing this person's extraordinary past.
However, on the white skeleton's chest, there was a Arrows. The Arrows was completely black, like black jade, with a black light flickering within, making it look extremely strange.
The Arrows just happened to pierce into the man's spine and pierced through the tip of the arrow. The arrow seemed to contain some sort of poison, to the point that the surrounding area of the white bone was dyed black.
Yang Xie looked at the corpse in front of him, and thought of the various things that he had seen before. It was not hard to guess that the person must have been heavily injured and quickly built this cave.
And this black arrow must have been the reason for his injury.
"It seems like this person wanted to heal the injuries within his body, but in the end, he died because he didn't succeed." Yang Xie's eyes flashed. He had already roughly guessed it, and couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive.
From the looks of this corpse, this person must have been a very powerful expert when he was alive. However, this kind of expert was almost killed when he was pierced through by an arrow. This kind of strength truly shocked him.
Yang Xie's eyes turned, and landed below the corpse, only to see that at the knee area of the corpse, there was a small golden sword.
The small sword was only the length of a palm and it seemed like it had not been successfully refined. It looked extremely simple, with only the body of the sword and the body of the hilt of sword.
If not for the overflowing radiance on its surface, Yang Xie would have regarded it as an ordinary object.
Yang Xie walked forward and carefully sized up the small sword in front of him, it was completely golden red like amber, giving off a clear feeling, the overflowing color on the surface was coming from the inside, Yang Xie could keenly feel that the small sword contained a terrifying energy, once it erupted, it would definitely shake the world!
"What exactly is this small sword?" Yang Xie was shocked, this small sword did not look like it was made of any material, but instead seemed to be made of some energy, just like Spirit Qi.
It was just that the small sword was more condensed and more terrifying, if not for the light circulating inside, Yang Xie would not be able to see through the sword.
Yang Xie recalled all the ancient books in his mind, but there was no record of this kind of small sword at all.
Yang Xie revealed a pondering expression, this small sword did not look like a weapon, if it was a weapon, then it would be impossible for it to be so small. After thinking for a long time, Yang Xie still could not figure out what this small sword was, but Yang Xie faintly felt that it was definitely not small.
Yang Xie stretched out his hand, and the spirit energy turned into a big hand, grabbing the small sword. He did not dare to use his hand, for fear of something unexpected happening.
As a result, when Yang Xie touched the small sword, it did not emit any sound and was easily caught in front of him.
After carefully considering it, Yang Xie waved his hand and recalled the small sword back into the storage bag.
Since he did not know what the small sword was used for, then he would ask the wasteland. He believed that there would definitely be records of the sword in the Wasteland Center.
At this time, Yang Xie's gaze landed on the scroll beside the corpse. After a flash of his eyes, Yang Xie beckoned with his hand and the scroll flew into the air, landing in front of Yang Xie.
Looking at the leather scroll in front of him, Yang Xie reached out his hand. His palm was filled with spirit energy and once this leather scroll had any abnormalities, it would immediately transform into a fly ash.
Fortunately, nothing unexpected had happened after he opened it. Yang Xie landed on the leather scroll in his hand. This leather scroll was made from the skin of some unknown Demonic Beast and after so many years, it actually did not decay, so the words inside could still be clearly seen.
When Yang Xie skimmed through the words on the scroll, he was startled. After that, he stared at the scroll, and the more he looked at it, the more shocked he was.
"'Manifestation Sword Art'? Who would have thought that this scroll would actually contain a sword art?! " Yang Xie muttered with an excited expression.
He had already seen this sword style before. Its power was unimaginable. When practiced to the end, everything could become a sword. It was an extremely powerful cultivation method!
It was not the least bit weaker than the 'Taixuan Sword Art' that he cultivates, and might even be a little bit stronger!
It was hard to imagine, when he used the Mysterious Sword Qi to activate this sword technique, what kind of power would it unleash!
As his sword technique improved, his sword technique had unknowingly reached a bottleneck. He knew that this was because the sword techniques he practiced were too few.
Until now, he had only practiced the 'Taixuan Sword Art'.
If he wanted to be a step closer to understanding the sword arts, he would need the strength of hundreds of clans to comprehend the mysteries of the sword arts and the true essence of the way of the sword.
Now that this' Manifestation Sword Art 'had made up for his inadequacies, he believed that as long as he could comprehend this sword technique, it would definitely be of great help to his understanding of the way of the sword.
Following that, Yang Xie looked around the corpses, and after seeing that there were no other treasures, his gaze landed on the Arrows.
After pondering for a while, Yang Xie used his spirit energy to transform into a big hand and pulled the Arrows out of his body. After looking at it for a bit, Yang Xie returned it to the storage bag.
Following that, he flipped his palm and with a bang, a huge crater was created on the ground. Yang Xie's long sleeve waved and a gust of wind blew the corpse into the pit.
Immediately after, Yang Xie pointed his finger and buried the corpse inside.
He didn't know who this person was, but since he had obtained his treasure, he naturally couldn't allow his corpse to be left outside.
After doing all that, Yang Xie headed towards the spring. Walking closer, he saw that the spring water was clear and bright, without any ripples, and there was a faint multicolored light flowing inside, it was extremely mystical.
In the cold spring, there was a type of black stone at the bottom. No one knew what it was, but it caused the cold in the spring to become extremely powerful.
At the other side of the stream of fire, there was a crimson red rock. As it got closer, there was heat coming from it.
One hot and one cold, one black and one red. The situation between the two sides was very distinct and marvelous.
Just as Yang Xie was looking at the spring water, he saw that the originally calm spring water suddenly started rolling, forming sets of ripples. In the cold spring, the ripples formed the image of a small snake.
As for the hot spring, a dragon-shaped shadow appeared. A dragon and a snake intertwined with each other, swallowing clouds and spitting out mist. Every time they crossed paths, wisps of purple mist would rise from the spring.
When the purple qi entered his mouth, Yang Xie felt a surge of pure energy entering his body, causing the Spirit Qi in his body to circulate rapidly, in an instant, Yang Xie's cultivation increased by a bit!
"This is ?" Sensing the change in his body, Yang Xie was immediately shocked as he looked at the purple fog in shock.
It had to be known that with his current deep cultivation level, even though it had only increased by a tiny bit, it was still as effective as consuming ten Pills!
"What is this purple fog?" Yang Xie was shocked, looking at the purple fog that kept on springing up, he did not know what it was.
"Just this sliver alone can raise my cultivation by a sliver. If I absorb it all, what sort of effect will it have?" Yang Xie's eyes lit up, ever since he had entered the Heavenly Completion Middle Stage, his cultivation had not progressed as quickly as before. Even with the help of a large number of Pills, if he wanted to break through the Heavenly Completion Late Stage, he would need at least half a year.
But now, if he were to use this item, the amount of time it would take for him to advance would be greatly reduced.
After thinking about it, Yang Xie no longer hesitated and immediately jumped into the spring. He sat cross legged inside and started to absorb the purple Qi crazily.
