Inside a room at the inn.
This time, we made a killing!
Chen Qingyu became increasingly satisfied and delighted with his newly acquired talent.
[ Heaven-Reaching Sword Gorge ] Ah, all my longing for you was worth it! This trip was absolutely worth it!
The innate power of the Ancestral Shaman Qiangliang will also grow stronger as his cultivation level increases!
In the end:
He would become the second Ancestral Witch of Lightning, able to wield the power of thunder in the world even without cultivating any thunder-related techniques.
Moreover, this is only my first time checking in at [ Heaven-Reaching Sword Gorge ]!
The prize pool for [ Heaven-Reaching Sword Gorge ], while not as outrageous as [ Floating Heavenly Palace ], should at least offer three or four chances, right?
Thinking of this, Chen Qingyu couldn't help but let his mind wander:
The nine supernatural powers that reward you for signing in at [ Floating Heavenly Palace ] are all derived from the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Transformations.
Could it be that the sign-in reward for [ Heaven-Reaching Sword Gorge ] is the talent of the Twelve Ancestral Witches?
If that's the case, and I've gathered all the talents of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, will I obtain the Body of Pangu?!
He became increasingly excited as he thought about it, his face flushed with excitement, and he paced back and forth in the room.
We'll find out tomorrow whether it's true or not.
I wonder what reward I'll get for checking in tomorrow.
Just then:
Bang bang bang!
There was a sudden knock on his door.
Chen Qingyu was startled, and after regaining his senses, he subconsciously asked:
Who? Who's outside?
Wu Su'e's clear voice came from outside:
It's me. Open the door.
Chen Qingyu was taken aback, then quickly stepped forward and opened the door.
With a creak.
Wu Su'e entered the room, looked around, and finally fixed her gaze on Chen Qingyu, a hint of suspicion flashing across her face:
You've been acting strangely ever since you entered Heaven-Reaching Sword Gorge.
Confess honestly, were you secretly doing something shady in your room?
Chen Qingyu's face twitched, and he couldn't help but ask back:
What shady things could I possibly do?
Wu Su'e chuckled:
Who knows?
As she spoke, her gaze moved downwards, and she licked her lips:
Come on, do you want your older sister to see how you're developing?
OK!
Chen Qingyu raised an eyebrow, grabbed her sleeve, and pulled it inside without saying a word:
Come on, come inside with me!
What are you doing?!
Wu Su'e was instantly terrified, her face paling. She quickly broke free from him, took several steps back, and covered her chest with her hands.
snort!
Chen Qingyu snorted, crossed his arms, and said disdainfully:
I saw through your little tricks a long time ago. You think you can fool me?
When they first met in the Divine Capital, he was indeed taken aback by Wu Su'e's boldness.
But later, after traversing Land of Myriad Kingdoms and spending over a month together, he came to see through it all.
This woman is all talk and no action; she acts like a seasoned pro, but when it comes to real combat, she immediately chickens out.
After all, he's a man, why would he be afraid of being taken advantage of?
Hmph
Wu Su'e snorted a few times, glared at him, and then spoke:
I'm not going to waste time arguing with you anymore. I came to see you because I have something important to discuss.
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu's expression shifted, and he said;
Come in and talk.
With that, he flicked his sleeve, and a gentle breeze blew, closing the door behind him.
Wu Su'e and he sat down at the table in the room, and Chen Qingyu took the initiative to ask:
What exactly happened?
That's right.
Wu Su'e took a deep breath before lowering her voice and saying:
After we parted ways, I went out to find out what was going on and finally figured it out.
It turns out there was indeed a reason why so many Venerable Ones had been rushing to Heaven-Reaching Sword Gorge recently.
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu's expression shifted slightly, and he pressed for an answer:
What's the reason?
Wu Su'e carefully considered her tone before speaking:
To be specific, it all started from the beginning and is related to the Heavenly Sword Saint King who opened up the Heaven-Reaching Sword Gorge.
Because the Taihe Mountain Range are home to a large number of ferocious beasts and Desolate Beast, the Heavenly Sword Saint King deliberately left behind a sword intent after splitting the Taihe Mountain Range in two with his sword to protect the canyon.
With the deterrent power of this sword intent, those terrifying Desolate Beast and ferocious beasts dared not approach the Heaven-Reaching Sword Gorge.
On the outskirts of the canyon, there is a mountain peak where sword intent is most concentrated and strongest, called Heavenly Sword Mountain.
Every thousand years, the sword intent on Heavenly Sword Mountain will surge forth, its cold light illuminating the heavens and earth, and the wondrous sight of the Heavenly Sword Saint King personally practicing his swordsmanship will appear.
It is said that this is a realm that only appears when the sword intent is extremely strong, and it has remained undiminished for thousands of years.
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu suddenly realized and said:
So, all those venerable ones who rushed here came to witness the spectacle of the Saint King's image?
That's not necessarily true.
Wu Su'e shook her head and said:
The Kings of High Antiquity and sages of all ages have left behind at least hundreds or thousands of relics and scenic spots throughout the Desolate Continent.
The Heavenly Sword Mountain in the canyon is actually nothing special.
Furthermore, look at all those Venerable Ones, are they all sword cultivators? Even if they viewed the Saint King's image, how much benefit could they possibly gain?
They've come all this way, surely just to admire the Saint King's splendor?
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu narrowed his eyes:
Does Miss Wu's statement suggest there's more to this story than meets the eye?
good.
Wu Su'e took a deep breath and said:
I had to use some tricks to get this not-so-secret secret.
Even the Kings of High Antiquity themselves would eventually die of old age, let alone the methods they left behind.
The sword intent of the Heavenly Sword Saint King had been eroded over hundreds of thousands of years, and was actually very faint, even on the verge of dissipating. (Meow Meow said)
Chen Qingyu's expression hardened, and he slowly said:
What will happen now that the Saint King's sword intent has dissipated?
Based on the most likely guess:
With the Saint King's sword intent dissipating, there's a good chance a large-scale attack by ferocious beasts and Desolate Beast might occur in the canyon.
At that time, Heaven-Reaching Sword Gorge will inevitably suffer heavy casualties, becoming a hellish battlefield, extremely dangerous.
But the large number of Venerable Ones still flocked here in droves; there must be another reason.
Regarding the outcome of the sword intent dissipating, another myth or legend must be mentioned.
Wu Su'e paused for a moment before continuing:
Do you remember what I told you?
The Liangshan Sword Saint Wang Jue soared to great heights because he received one-fifth of the Heavenly Sword Saint King's inheritance.
According to legend, before the Heavenly Sword Saint King passed away, he divided his swordsmanship into five parts, which were scattered throughout the Desolate Continent.
Historically, four copies have appeared. Two were obtained by the Liangshan Wang Clan, one is missing, and one was collected by the Myriad Phenomena Holy Land.
Now, only one-fifth of the legacy remains, yet it has not yet appeared in the world.
