Sword Tomb

Sword Tomb!

More than a hundred figures hovered in the sky, all eyeing the Sword Tomb with covetous intent. The Cold-Blooded Sword Venerable, one of the strongest Cultivator in the Great Ming Dynasty, had slain countless powerful figures, and his collection of treasures, Pill, and Cultivation Technique was a treasure trove that no one could ignore.

These hundred-odd figures, none of whom were below the Tribulation Crossing Realm, all had only one goal: the treasure within the Sword Tomb, especially the Cold-Blooded Sword Venerable's personal weapon, the Immortal Slaying Sword, Half-Demon Artifact.

Over a hundred figures hovered in the sky, vaguely divided into Three Factions. One group, consisting of about thirty people, exuded a powerful aura. Leading them was an elderly man with white hair and Childlike Face and Crane-White Hair but white hair, radiating an air of calm composure. His eyes swept across the group before he spoke, "You are all subjects of the Great Ming Dynasty. You should know that all land under heaven belongs to the emperor. The Immortal Slaying Sword within this Sword Tomb is His Your Majesty's beloved possession. I hope you will not defy the Heaven's will."

"Elder Moya, although you are a guardian of the Imperial Clan, this Immortal Slaying Sword was stolen by the Cold-Blooded Sword Venerable from our Supreme Sword Sect. Therefore, please forgive us for not being able to give up this sword..."

On the other side, there were about thirty Cultivator, both monks and laypeople. The one who spoke was about fifty years old, tall and slender, wearing a blue robe and carrying a Moon-white longsword on his back. His words were filled with sharp Sword Intent, and his gaze swept across the room like peerless Sword Qi, making people dare not look directly at him.

"Elder Moya represents the Imperial Clan family, while the True Man Baijian represents the Cultivation Sect of the Great Ming Dynasty. Most of the treasures that appear in the world are occupied by these Imperial Clan and Cultivation Sect. But today, we Rogue Cultivator absolutely cannot miss out on this Immortal Slaying Sword."

The last group was led by a female Cultivator dressed in Blood-Red Dress, appearing to be around thirty years old. She glanced at the Elder Moya and the True Man Baijian from the Supreme Sword Sect, and made a firm decision in her heart.

Over a hundred Void Returning Stage powerhouses gathered at the Sword Tomb. Their purpose was clear: to acquire the treasures of the Sword Tomb, especially the Cold-Blooded Sword Venerable's personal sword, the Immortal Slaying!

The Three Factions: one is the Imperial Clan's powerful figures, led by Elder Moya; another is Alliance between sects of the Great Ming Dynasty, led by the True Man Baijian of the Supreme Sword Sect; and the last is a team of Rogue Cultivator from the Great Ming Dynasty, led by the Rogue Cultivator Blood Rakshasa. All three are outstanding individuals in the Great Accomplishment Stage.

"Cold-Blooded Sword Venerable. As expected of one of the strongest Cultivator in the Great Ming Dynasty, he actually uses the negative emotions in the Sword Tomb to hone himself. This crazy cultivation is truly astonishing," Blood Rakshasa said with emotion, gazing at the situation in the Sword Tomb, without participating in the verbal sparring between Elder Moya and True Man Baijian.

"Indeed, the world only knows that the Cold-Blooded Sword Venerable brought back their weapons after killing them as a glory. But who knows that he wanted to gather the hatred and obsession of these dead to temper himself? The negative emotions here make people feel uneasy even before entering the Sword Tomb. That guy actually bathed himself in it. He is truly a madman," Blood Rakshasa's sigh resonated with Elder Moya, who nodded in agreement.

As they spoke, Elder Moya's gaze fell on the True Man Baijian again, and he smiled and said, "True Man Baijian, as the Supreme Sword Sect Master, you can be said to be the strongest model of Great Ming Dynasty Sword Cultivator. The Cold-Blooded Sword Venerable can do this, I wonder if True Man Baijian can do it?"

"Hmph, Elder Moya, you don't need to provoke me. This Sword Tomb is filled with negative emotions, like Asura Purgatory. Do you want us to enter it to pave the way for you and reap the benefits? How could I do as you wish?" Sword Intent True Man Baijian intent, revealing Elder Moya's true intentions in one sentence.

The hundred-plus Cultivator, all drawn by the Cold-Blooded Sword Venerable's treasure, were subtly divided into Three Factions, forming Three-Legged -way standoff. However, none of them were willing to enter the Sword Tomb first, as the negative emotions within were extremely intense. Whoever went in first would have their power depleted by these dangers, only benefiting the others. Therefore, the Three Factions remained deadlocked, with none showing any intention of going in first.

However, just as these Three Factions were locked in a stalemate, with the three sides in Three-Legged standoff, suddenly, space flashed, and the figure of a young man appeared, landing in the crowd...

"Huh? Where is this?" Zhuge Xiang was slightly surprised when he saw the hundred or so Cultivator at the Tribulation Crossing Realm and Great Accomplishment Stage Realm around him. Could it be that the Random Teleport Stone had teleported him to the Forbidden Ground of some Large Sect?

"Who are you? With only the cultivation of the Spirit Severing Realm, how dare you covet the treasures of the Cold-Blooded Sword Venerable?" Seeing Zhuge Xiang appear out of nowhere, the Three Factions stared at him solemnly. Clearly, they had come to the Sword Tomb with ill intentions, after the treasures. Therefore, behind Wu Yazi, a Cultivator at the Tribulation Crossing Realm shouted coldly.

"The Cold-Blooded Sword Venerable's treasure?" Upon hearing the Cultivator's words, Zhuge Xiang looked around and immediately understood. It seemed that these hundred-odd Cultivator had gathered here for the so-called Cold-Blooded Sword Venerable's treasure. The Random Teleport Stone had teleported him here.

However, Zhuge Xiang was also filled with curiosity about what kind of treasure could be coveted and fought over by more than a hundred Cultivator at the Tribulation Crossing Realm and even the Great Accomplishment Stage.

"What a great place, haha, this is truly a great place..." Zhuge Xiang's mind raced as he pondered what the so-called Cold-Blooded Sword Venerable's treasure was. Suddenly, Xiao Yue from the Pet Interface appeared on its own, its eyes shining as it stared at the Sword Tomb, looking like a starving wolf that had spotted a large piece of meat.

"Oh? Xiao Yue, what's here?" Zhuge Xiang asked, seeing Xiao Yue's excited and greedy appearance, and how she had appeared on her own.

"Hehe, Treasure Artifact, Lingbao, so many, thousands upon thousands. If I could devour all of these things, my strength would increase significantly..." Xiaoyue answered Zhuge Xiang's question, his eyes fixed on the Sword Tomb Xiao Yue.

At this point, Xiao Yue paused slightly, then her eyes gleamed with an even stronger light as she said, "Moreover, there is an incredibly powerful treasure here. Its aura is even better than the Dragon Binding Rope of the Great Tang Emperor. Haha, if I can devour it, I can at least reach the level of Two-Star Demon Monster."

"Even better than the Dragon Binding Rope? Half-Immortal Artifact Grade treasure!?" Upon hearing Xiao Yue's words, a glint of light flashed in Zhuge Xiang's eyes, and he became interested. It was no wonder that Half-Immortal Artifact Grade treasure could attract more than a hundred Cultivator above the Tribulation Crossing Realm to fight over it.

"Who are you?" The Supreme Sword Sect True Man Baijian stared at Zhuge Xiang and asked. Although Zhuge Xiang's cultivation was not high, the True Man Baijian's Sword Soul trembled, making him realize that the pressure and threat that Zhuge Xiang brought him was no less than that of the Elder Moya.

"Hehehe, this young man looks unfamiliar. Could he also be a Rogue Cultivator?" Blood Rakshasa chuckled.

Around thirty years old, she had lost some of the naivety of a young girl, but gained more of the mature charm of a woman. With her laughter, her delicate body trembled, stirring up a wave of waves, leaving many Cultivator present with dry mouths.

"I merely stumbled upon this place by chance. It seems there's a grand event taking place here," Zhuge Xiang said, glancing around at everyone present.

At a glance, Zhuge Xiang could tell that the Imperial Clan family was a close-knit group, while the True Man Baijian's side, although Alliance of several Sect, was a large group composed of several smaller groups. Only the Blood Rakshasa's side consisted entirely of individuals.

After glancing at the group and getting a general idea of the lineup of over a hundred Cultivator, Zhuge Xiang walked up to Blood Rakshasa with a smile on his face and said, "Fellow Daoist, what treasure are you vying for? I wonder if we could join forces?"

Elder Moya and True Man Baijian each have their own groups. Even if you join one, you, as a stranger, will soon be excluded from the competition for the treasure. Therefore, if you want to compete for the Three Factions, it is best to join Blood Rakshasa's side, since it is best to rely on your own abilities.

Although ordinary Cultivator could not sense the threat posed by Zhuge Xiang, only seeing that he was only at the Spirit Severing Realm, those with top-tier cultivation and keen intuition could feel the pressure emanating from Zhuge Xiang, as could Elder Moya, True Man Baijian, and Blood Rakshasa, indicating that his strength was absolutely formidable.

Upon hearing that Zhuge Xiang had chosen the Blood Rakshasa's side, True Man Baijian and Elder Moya felt a slight unease in their hearts.

On Blood Rakshasa's side, the group consisted of Rogue Cultivator. Although their cultivation levels and numbers were not low, they were still Rogue Cultivator and lacked trust among themselves. Therefore, neither True Man Baijian nor Elder Moya took this rabble of Blood Rakshasa's side too seriously.

However, with the appearance of Zhuge Xiang and his joining this camp, the camp composed of Blood Rakshasa and other Rogue Cultivator cannot be underestimated. The pressure that Zhuge Xiang brings to the two of them is even greater than that of Blood Rakshasa.

Blood Rakshasa hadn't expected Zhuge Xiang to want to join her side, but being a powerful Cultivator, she reacted quickly, giggling and showing great affection. However, Blood Rakshasa was somewhat surprised by Zhuge Xiang's words. "Young brother, are you joking with me? Don't you know about the Sword Tomb? Did you really just stumble upon this place and not even know what treasure we're fighting over?"

At the Sword Tomb, Zhuge Xiang Zhuge Xiang see from the map that he was within the territory of the Great Ming Dynasty, but he really didn't know what treasure they were fighting over.

Shaking his head, Zhuge Xiang looked intently at Blood Rakshasa, waiting for her answer.

Stared at by Zhuge Xiang, Blood Rakshasa understood his meaning and was even more astonished. "Don't you know? The Cold-Blooded Sword Venerable died from Qi Deviation. We're all after the thousands of treasures buried beneath his Sword Tomb, and his sword, Half-Demon Artifact, the Immortal Slaying Sword." (To be continued...)
