Chapter 134 – Overlord Giant Sword
The Inner Mansion was located in the deepest part of the Cang Feng Xuan Mansion, separated from the Middle Mansion by a dense grove.Went through the grove, and the gate of the Inner Mansion presented itself. What blocked the entrance was not a gate, but a slowly rotating purple sealing formation.
As Sikong Du approached, the formation stopped rotating and disappeared with it. However, when Yun Che took a step forward, the disappearing formation suddenly reappeared, and an irresistible repulsive force came from in front, forcing Yun Che to take a step back. At the same time, an old voice came from nowhere:
“Sikong Du, is the person you brought with you the ‘Yun Che’ that Qin Mansion Master spoke of?”
Sikong Du said in a loud voice: “Yes. Please ask Elder Xu for permission to pass.”
Ding!
A subtle Xuan power suddenly came from the front, pointing at Yun Che’s body and quickly disappearing after entering his body. Following that, the old voice sounded once again, “This is the seal of passage for the Inner Mansion, but the statute of limitations is only three months. The seal will automatically disappear after three months, go in.”
“Let’s go.” Sikong Du took the first step and stepped into the inner mansion.
The environment of the inner mansion could only be described as simple and quiet. At a glance, there wasn’t even a single person in sight, and the building was simple in its antiquity.
However, when Yun Che took his first step into this place, he clearly felt that the Xuan Force aura here was exceptionally dense. It was at least more than twice as dense as outside.
“Feel that?” Sikong Du glanced at Yun Che’s reaction and explained, “Although the Inner Mansion is small, underneath the Inner Mansion is a rare natural Xuan Vein! Thus, the inner mansion has a rich Xuan Qi. The sealing array that we passed through just now did not just seal the entrance to the Inner Mansion, the greater effect was to prevent these Xuan Qi from leaking out.”
“The tower directly in front of us is called the Gathering Xuan Tower, with a total of ten floors. A special formation has been set up in the tower, which can drastically gather the Xuan Qi of the Inner Mansion in it, thus allowing the Xuan Qi in the tower to be concentrated to an extremely high degree, and when one cultivates in the tower, the speed is bound to be far superior to that of the outside world.”
Along with what Sikong Du pointed out, Yun Che saw the ten-story tower that was erected in the center of this Inner Mansion.
“You only have three months, so you must seize all the time to cultivate, and it is best not to waste a single second.” Sikong Du said seriously, although he knew that even if he tried his hardest to cultivate, Yun Che wanted to defeat Murong Yi, but it was also simply impossible, and the only thing that he could look forward to was a miracle. …… For example, Murong Yi suddenly choked to death on water, died of bloating from eating, died of being struck by lightning, died of walking and falling, died of exhaustion on a woman’s belly, and so on, in these three months. ……
“Therefore, you’d better enter the Ju Xuan Tower today to cultivate, put in all the time and effort you can, eat and sleep in it …… If you eat and drink, the big deal is that I’ll personally send you up there every day.”
Yun Che’s heart warmed as he listened, his face showing gratitude, “Big Brother Sikong, thank you for your hospitality.”
“Hehe, there’s no need to take it to heart.” Sikong Du smiled and said, “My life was saved by your grandfather. Without your grandfather Xiao Lie, there would be no Sikong Du for me today. I have been longing to repay your grandfather’s great kindness all these years, and your arrival can finally fulfill my wish to a certain extent, so whatever I do for you, I should do. Alright, let’s go, I will first take you to the Heavenly Soldier Pavilion.”
“Heavenly Soldier Pavilion?”
“The Cangfeng Xuanfu has three major Pavilions of Soldiers, which are the Human Soldier Pavilion, Earth Soldier Pavilion, and Heavenly Soldier Pavilion. The Human Soldier Pavilion is located in the outer mansion, the Earth Soldier Pavilion is located in the middle mansion the Heavenly Soldier Pavilion belongs to the inner mansion. These three Soldier Brothers were all places where the corresponding disciples chose their weapons. Among them, naturally, the Inner Mansion Heavenly Soldier Pavilion had the highest grade of weapons. Any disciple of the Inner Mansion could have one chance to choose a weapon at the Heavenly Soldier Pavilion. After choosing a weapon, one can then go to the Taixuan Hall to choose the Xuan Gong and Xuan Technique they wish to cultivate……. In addition, only Inner Mansion disciples can cultivate the exclusive Xuan Gong of the Cangfeng Xuan Mansion, and as for the Xuan Techniques, they are naturally of the highest grade as well.”
“Also, the Inner Mansion doesn’t have mentors, all cultivation relies on oneself.”
As they spoke, they had already arrived in the Heavenly Soldier Pavilion.
The Heavenly Soldier Pavilion was located underground, but it did not appear dim. At a glance there was a wide array of various colors of blades, swords, spears, halberds, spears, axes, hammers, and blades …… had everything, most of them flickering with the brilliant light of various colors, while some of them were dull and lightless, and were quietly lying in a certain corner. As soon as Yun Che entered, he felt a wave of icy cold auras coming over him, and these auras were either light or noble or sharp or overbearing.
“The lowest grade of blades in the Heavenly Soldier Pavilion are True Xuan Weapons, and most of them are Spirit Xuan Weapons. Originally, there were also some powerful Earth Xuan Weapons, but they have long been taken away by the seniors, and the only Earth Xuan Weapon left is a chicken rib that no one wants to choose. Yun Che, what weapon do you normally use?” Sikong Du asked.
Yun Che was silent for a moment, but still answered truthfully, “I’m not good at using any weapon.”
When he was in the Cang Yun Continent, his hands had to be used to control the Heavenly Poison Bead, and he was simply unable to hold a weapon blade anymore. After all, the Heavenly Poison Pearl wasn’t combined with his body back then like it was now.
“Not cultivating a weapon?” Sikong Du had a surprised look on his face before shaking his head, “Since you are a Xuan, you shouldn’t ignore the great role that weapons bring. A smooth weapon can make a Xuanist’s attack and defense abilities both increase drastically, and its effect is no less than having an extra hand. In a battle at the same level, other conditions are equal, it will be impossible for a weaponless person to defeat a person using a weapon. However, you are still young, and it’s not at all too late if you start practicing from now on.”
Yun Che nodded, agreeing with Sikong Du’s words. In the past, he had not practiced blades because he had to control the Heavenly Poison Pearl, but now, it was indeed time to practice a weapon that suited him.
“If you really haven’t practiced a weapon before, then I suggest you choose a sword.” Sikong Du spoke, “The sword is the supreme of all weapons, it can chop, slash, stab, cut, gouge, slice, and grid, it is flexible, easy to manage, powerful and defensive, and easy to learn and refine. Currently in Tianxuan Continent, the number of Xuan practitioners who use the sword as a weapon accounts for about 70%. Unless they have a Xuan Gong or Xuan Skill that requires a specific weapon to maximize its power, they will generally choose the sword as their weapon. My weapon is also a sword.”
These words of Sikong Du’s, Yun Che similarly agreed with. Previously, during the Phoenix Trial and against the Black Demon Mercenary Corps, he had used the Tiger Spirit Sword that he had brought from the Xiao Sect Subclan, and he had never experienced using a sword before, but those few times he had used the Tiger Spirit Sword, he had managed it with ease. The flexibility and versatility of the sword, its ability to attack and defend, and its ease of learning and mastery were all incomparable to other weapons.
“Good, then let’s choose a sword.” Yun Che nodded his head.
Among the many weapons in the Heavenly Warrior Pavilion, it was also the sword that had the highest number. There were hundreds of them. Yun Che’s gaze meticulously swept over a sword with different auras, and after looking at it, the only thing in his heart was disappointment. This was because none of the auras released by these swords were comparable to the Tiger Spirit Sword that he possessed.
After all, the swords here were all True Xuan Swords and Spirit Xuan Swords, while the Tiger Spirit Sword was a genuine Earth Xuan Sword.
Just as he was about to prepare to take a look at the other weapons, Yun Che suddenly took a step and his gaze went to the bottom of the weapon racks.
In the bottom of the weapon rack where all kinds of divine swords were hanging, there quietly lay a huge sword covered in a layer of thick dust……. That’s right, this was a genuine huge sword, the sword width was thirty centimeters, the sword length was even more similar to Yun Che’s length, the sword blade was blunt and heavy, the sword hilt was wide, and at a glance, one could tell that it needed to be grasped by both hands. The body of the sword was pitch black, without any fancy patterns, and even without a rising momentum, it was just like a piece of mortal iron quietly lying in the dust, as if it had long been neglected and forgotten. If it wasn’t for Yun Che’s sharp eyes, he wouldn’t have realized its existence.
“This sword is?” Yun Che squatted down and asked curiously.
Sikong Du glanced at this huge sword and casually said, “Oh, this is the last Earth Xuan Artifact left here, as I told you just now. Named ‘Overlord Sword’, it was used by a fierce general of Cangfeng Empire with the name of ‘Overlord’ during his lifetime a thousand years ago, he had killed countless enemies with this sword and made great achievements. After his death, this sword entered this Heavenly Soldier Pavilion and has been silent for many years. It’s just a pity that this Earth Xuan Artifact is a heavy sword, and as a Xuan, no one would even pick it.”
“Why?” Yun Che asked.
“It’s very simple. Because it is a heavy sword, with a huge sword body and a huge weight, although it is also a ‘sword’, it completely lacks the lightness and versatility of a sword, and its weight makes it extremely difficult to harness it alone, and even if it is harnessed, every swing will consume a large amount of Xuan energy. Bulky and difficult to harness the consumption of large, these three disadvantages are destined to not have the Xuan people to choose it. Its biggest advantage is that once it hits, it will definitely cause a huge killing power, but such a bulky sword body, waving up the speed simply can’t be fast to where, want to hit the enemy is very difficult, and after waving it will reveal a big crack, giving the other side plenty of opportunities to take advantage of.”
“These, all decided that it is only suitable for the battlefield, if harnessed well, it will be the strongest killing weapon on the battlefield, but it is by no means suitable for us Xuan practitioners, in the face of the opponent, instead of becoming a helping hand, it will become a drag.”
“In addition, although heavy swords are also swords, due to the fact that they have completely different characteristics from normal swords, any Xuan Technique that involves swords is not suitable for heavy sword cultivation. Currently, Taixuan Hall has a total of three hundred and forty-seven sword dao Xuan Techniques, but there is not a single one regarding heavy swords.”
While Sikong Du was speaking, Yun Che had been eyeballing this Overlord Giant Sword that was covered in thick dust, and in his mind, he was depicting the image of wielding this heavy sword recklessly……. At this moment, he suddenly stretched out both of his hands and simultaneously gripped them on top of the Overlord Giant Sword’s hilt before lifting it with force.
The Overlord Giant Sword, however, did not move at all.
Yun Che’s heart was suddenly secretly surprised …… that it was so heavy!
He took a deep breath, clenched his teeth fiercely, and instantly lifted his entire body’s Xuan Power, pouring all of his strength into his hands before letting out a loud roar.
“Drink!!!”
Clang ……
In a heavy and incomparable sound of metal scratching the ground, the Overlord Heavy Sword was finally lifted up by Yun Che holding the hilt, little by little, the process of lifting up was extremely difficult and slow ……For a dozen or so breaths of work, Yun Che finally lifted the hilt of the sword to the crotch position, and under the pouring force, his entire face was already red, and his forehead was full of hot sweat.
So heavy! How could it be so heavy! What kind of material was this sword made of!
“This Overlord Sword is said to be made from a meteorite from beyond the heavens, it weighs three thousand nine hundred pounds, with your current Xuan Force being able to lift it up, it’s already pretty good.” Sikong Du said, “Hm? You’re not interested in it, are you?”
“Evil Spirit!!!”
Yun Che let out a low roar in his heart as the Evil Spirit opened, and his entire body’s Xuan Power instantly skyrocketed. Under the surge of Xuan Power, he let out a loud roar, and the strength of his entire body surged up crazily, instantly lifting the tip of the Overlord’s Giant Sword off the ground, completely grasping it up, and lifting it in front of his body……. However, this flat lifting action was only sustained for a short period of a couple of breaths of time, and under the horrifying weight, he was unable to support himself any longer, and the tip of the sword sunk violently down, and the “Boom! “Boom” slammed onto the ground, and with a loud sound, the entire ground of the Heavenly Warrior Pavilion trembled.
Yun Che was still grasping the hilt of the sword, panting heavily, but on his face, an excited look appeared, “It’s about to …… this sword!”
