Sword Cultivator Awakening Ceremony

"Xiao Chen, you really are spouting nonsense. Who in all the world can defy the Heavenly Dao? You think you can revive the Sword Dao? What a fool's dream! I doubt you can even awaken Yellow Rank Sword Dao talent!"

Lin Qingxian shook her head, feeling that Xiao Chen was too ignorant of the immensity of the world.

Sword Dao talent, like Martial Dao talent, is divided into Yellow, Profound, Earth, and Heaven Ranks, and those with high talent are extremely rare, even more exaggerated than Martial Dao.

Even the once-brilliant Sword Dao geniuses Lin Jiansan and Chou Wantian only had upper-grade Earth Rank Sword Dao talent. In the past few decades, even Earth Rank Sword Dao talent has become increasingly rare in Great Xia.

She didn't think Xiao Chen could have much Sword Dao talent, and as for reviving the Sword Dao, it was absolutely impossible!

"Facts speak louder than words. Please, Miss Lin, take me to test my aptitude now!"

Xiao Chen didn't argue, but said with a smile.

"Let's go!"

Lin Qingxian began to lead the way.

Soon, led by Lin Qingxian and the others, Xiao Chen entered the Slaying Heaven Courtyard and arrived at an ancient secret chamber. The three large black characters "Sword Inquiry Chamber" were written on the door of the secret chamber.

Lin Qingxian and the others led Xiao Chen to push the door open and enter the secret chamber. Xiao Chen glanced around in the dim light of the candles lit in the secret chamber and found that the entire secret chamber was extremely simple.

There was only an offering table, a prayer mat, and a thumb-sized black stone on the offering table. There was nothing else.

Xiao Chen glanced at the black stone emitting a faint sword aura and asked, "Miss Lin, why is this Sword Spirit Stone so small?"

The system had introduced the Sword Spirit Stone to him, which was a necessary spiritual object for guiding sword cultivators to the entry level.

However, in the system's description, the Sword Spirit Stone should be the size of a fist, exuding a terrifying sword aura all over its body, which was unusually sharp, making ordinary people dare not look directly at it.

The higher the quality of the Sword Spirit Stone, the larger its size, and the sharper its sword aura. Sword cultivators can enter the Dao more easily with a Sword Spirit Stone of sufficient quality as a guide. If some low-quality ones are used, it will greatly increase the difficulty of awakening, and even if you have extremely high talent, you will get half the result with twice the effort.

The black stone in front of him was only the size of a thumb, and the sword aura was so weak that it was almost imperceptible. Could this thing be used for awakening?

No wonder that old thing Chou Wantian was so gloating just now. It turned out that his Sword Immortal Academy only had so little Sword Spirit Stone left!

With so little, who could awaken?

Lin Qingxian even used this to gamble with him. What's the difference between this and fraud?

"You know about Sword Spirit Stones?"

Lin Qingxian glanced at Xiao Chen in surprise.

Sword Spirit Stones had almost become extinct decades ago. Only some ancient hidden Sword Dao sects still had some. Ordinary people didn't understand what Sword Spirit Stones were, but Xiao Chen was able to recognize them at a glance, which surprised her a little.

Not only her, but Chou Wantian and Lin Jiansan on the side also looked astonished.

"I know a little bit. Miss Lin, is it too much for you to use such a small piece of Sword Spirit Stone remnant to awaken me?"

Xiao Chen looked displeased.

Even with the help of the system, it still needed the assistance of a Sword Spirit Stone. He had just asked the system, and the system said that if only such a small Sword Spirit Stone was used as a spiritual guide, he could only awaken lower-grade Heaven Rank Sword Dao talent at most. If he wanted to go further, he could only find a Sword Spirit Stone of good quality to advance in the future.

But now that the Sword Spirit Stones in Great Xia are almost extinct, where could he find one?

"Young Master Xiao, you don't know, this is the last bit of Sword Spirit Stone in my Sword Immortal Academy. Now that I'm taking it out for you to use, I feel like my heart is bleeding," Lin Jiansan said with a wry smile.

"Grandpa, why are you telling him so much? I think he's just a coward who only knows how to brag. He said he wanted to revive the Sword Dao just now, but now he's retreating when faced with a little challenge. He has no courage at all," Lin Qingxian sneered.

"Miss Lin, I don't like you saying that. Let's just start!"

Xiao Chen frowned slightly.

He has a system, would he be timid?

He just felt that a small Heaven Rank Sword Dao talent was not a good match for his Martial God Physique.

Sword cultivators have super strong attack power, but their bodies are fragile. If they encounter opponents with strong killing power, they are prone to sudden death.

And his Martial God Physique is extremely powerful, which just makes up for this shortcoming. If he had a higher Sword Cultivation talent, he would definitely be able to become a Sword God.

But if he only has Heaven Rank talent, it will greatly limit his achievements in the Sword Dao.

At first, he thought that the Sword Immortal Academy was holding onto a better Sword Spirit Stone and not giving it to him. Now it seems that they really have run out of ammunition and food, so he can only make do with it.

"You just keep bragging, okay? I don't think you can even awaken Yellow Rank Sword Dao talent," Lin Qingxian snorted.

Xiao Chen didn't argue with her anymore and looked directly at Lin Jiansan. Under Lin Jiansan's guidance, Xiao Chen soon began to awaken his Sword Dao talent.

This awakening ceremony was very simple. Hold the Sword Spirit Stone at the dantian to absorb it. If sword energy is emitted from the body, it is considered that sword energy has entered the body, and the awakening is successful.

Conversely, the awakening fails.

Regardless of success or failure, the sword soul value in the Sword Spirit Stone will be consumed.

This is also the reason why Lin Jiansan feels distressed. This is the last bit of family property of their Sword Immortal Academy. If it fails again, it means that the Sword Immortal Academy will never have a chance to turn over and will soon be annihilated in the long river of history.

"Senior Brother, Qingxian, come out for a moment. There's something I forgot to tell you just now."

Seeing that Xiao Chen had already begun to awaken, Chou Wantian called Lin Jiansan and Lin Qingxian to the outside of the secret chamber.

"What's the matter that's so mysterious?"

Lin Jiansan glanced at Chou Wantian with displeasure.

He was just about to see the awakening of Sword Immortal Academy's last hope, but Chou Wantian interrupted him, which made him very unhappy!

"Senior Brother, regarding Xiao Chen's talent, I forgot to mention something just now. In addition to being a Born King Physique, he is also cursed by the heavens and may only have two years left to live."

Chou Wantian said after a moment of silence.

As soon as these words came out, Lin Jiansan and Lin Qingxian's pupils shrank suddenly, and countless shocks flashed in their eyes!

"Cursed by the heavens? He's just a King Physique, how could he be cursed by the heavens?"

Lin Jiansan said in disbelief.

He had heard a little about those cursed by the heavens. They were all peerless geniuses, unparalleled throughout the ages. Even an Emperor Physique, which was above the King Physique, could not provoke the jealousy of the heavens.

How terrifying is the Heavenly Dao? The Heavenly Dao would not even pay attention to ordinary geniuses.

It was unbelievable that a King Physique could attract heavenly jealousy!

Lin Qingxian was also completely shocked.

Those cursed by the heavens were both lucky and tragic. The lucky part was that they possessed unparalleled talent that was hard to find in all ages, but the tragic part was that they would be suppressed by the Heavenly Dao and it would be difficult for them to grow up.

"I don't know the reason either, but the Martial Spirit Mirror of the Saintly Wasteland Academy gave the judgment, so it shouldn't be wrong!"

Chou Wantian said in a low voice.

"You knew he was cursed by the heavens, and you still let him absorb the last bit of Sword Spirit Stone from Slaying Heaven Courtyard? Don't you know that those cursed by the heavens are destined to have no connection with the Dao? That they will encounter heavy resistance when comprehending the Great Dao?"

After the shock, a terrifying anger appeared on Lin Jiansan's face.
