Chapter 144 - Great Dragon Sword

The resonant sound of a dragon’s roar rose, piercing through the Nine Heavens.

Lin Xuan’s soul was subjected to a strong impact, as if a True Dragon Illusion charged toward his mind.

Hum!

In his mind, his soul power transformed into a longsword, buzzing and humming.

With sword intent soaring to the sky, Lin Xuan’s entire being resembled a Divine Sword, contending against the Dragon Sword Seal.

Beside him, Shen Jingqiu’s beautiful eyes widened in astonishment, as she had not expected the youth before her to provoke such an extraordinary phenomenon.

Within Lin Xuan’s body, Lord of Wine was also moved for the first time.

“The Great Dragon Sword Seal!

I didn’t expect to see it here!”

“Little Xuanzi, do as I say!” Lord of Wine said in a deep voice.

Afterward, Lord of Wine instructed Lin Xuan in the art of sealing, absorbing the Great Dragon Sword Seal into his mind.

Boom!

As if the heavens and earth were parting, Lin Xuan felt a temporary illusion, and then his entire body was enveloped in an immense energy.

The Big Dragon willed it, roaring in his mind, causing his whole body to tremble.

Following Lord of Wine’s guidance, Lin Xuan quickly formed seals, wanting to seal the Great Dragon Sword Seal, while the sword shadow echoed in contest.

Hum!

Hum!

A mysterious small sword inside his body trembled lightly, emitting sword intent.

Inside his mind, the Great Dragon Sword Seal, sensing the presence of the small sword, immediately quieted down and began to slowly integrate with Lin Xuan’s Sword Soul.

This process happened swiftly, occurring in just an instant.

Lin Xuan felt his mind become extraordinarily clear, and the world before his eyes seemed to become different.

He removed his hand and discovered that the Big Dragon Seal on the coffin had disappeared.

“You, you absorbed that engraving?” Shen Jingqiu’s face was filled with disbelief.

Coming from a Great Sect, she had exceptional experience and naturally recognized the danger of that engraving; not even she dared to try.

Yet, this youth of the Spirit Sea First Layer had succeeded!

“Heh heh, it went in by itself, I couldn’t help it,” Lin Xuan shrugged, with an expression that suggested he hadn’t intended it.

Shen Jingqiu found that she was increasingly unable to see through Lin Xuan, as if the youth was hiding countless secrets.

Lin Xuan did not continue the topic, instead saying, “Let’s look around a bit more, and if we find nothing else, let’s go back.”

“Alright.” Shen Jingqiu nodded her head, feeling an inexplicable unease.

The two split up to search, with Lin Xuan walking slowly, but secretly communicating with Lord of Wine.

“What exactly is this Great Dragon Sword Seal, and what about the legend of the Great Dragon Sword, do you know about it, Lord of Wine?”

“Memories still linger with some information, which conveniently includes this Great Dragon Sword,” Lord of Wine said slowly.

“It’s said that at the dawn of heaven and earth, seven sword marks coalesced, representing the seven original forces.”

“Later, a True Dragon merged with one of the sword marks, forming the Great Dragon Sword.”

“In the legends, the Great Dragon Sword’s attacking power was unrivaled, not only was it a Supreme Divine Artifact in itself, but it also contained a supreme Attack Saint Technique, a treasure desired by all.”

“True Dragon, seven original forces, Attack Saint Technique?” Lin Xuan was shocked; he hadn’t imagined the Great Dragon Sword had such an incredible origin.

“The sword seal you just absorbed was likely imitated by someone from the Great Dragon Sword,” Lord of Wine explained.

“It could be said that this sword seal has been simplified countless times from the Great Dragon Sword,” Lord of Wine sighed, “I really can’t believe that there are still people here who know about the Great Dragon Sword!”

“Where then is the real Great Dragon Sword, and what was in that coffin?” Lin Xuan asked, curious.

“Don’t get ahead of yourself, the Great Dragon Sword has been lost to the world, it’s impossible for it to appear here,” Lord of Wine scoffed, “If such a thing were to reappear, the whole world would be thrown into chaos.”

“Don’t mention Yunzhou, even Xia Country could be destroyed in an instant!”

Lin Xuan clicked his tongue, realizing he had underestimated the allure of the Great Dragon Sword.

“Reflect carefully on this sword seal, the elements it contains are no less than any heritage!”

Lin Xuan nodded, realizing that he knew too little about this world.

“If one day, I could obtain the true Great Dragon Sword, how prestigious that would be!”

Lin Xuan yearned deep inside, deciding that after dealing with his family’s matters, he would go out and gain experience.

After integrating the sword seal, his Soul Power had increased once more, and he would soon reach the level of a First-grade Rune Master.

To his delight, his Purple Spirit Eyes had broken through to the Second Level.

Now, he could not only use the Purple Spirit Eyes to probe, but he could also execute tactics like Soul Attacks.

His eyes flickered with a trace of red light, as if he could see through everything.

He directed his gaze at the bronze coffin, looking at it with curiosity.

Boom!

Boom!

A pair of eyes, like two Divine Lights, gazed back at Lin Xuan.

Whoosh!

Lin Xuan quickly retreated, his face filled with shock.

The gaze just now had come from inside the bronze coffin, and he had also vaguely seen a humanoid figure lying within.

Gurgle!

Lin Xuan swallowed hard, finding the place somewhat terrifying.

A coffin that could imprint the Great Dragon Sword Seal must not be a simple entity.

Fortunately, the being inside the coffin only glanced at Lin Xuan and made no other moves.

Lin Xuan felt chilled to the bone and decided to leave quickly.

He found Shen Jingqiu and planned to return.

As the two headed back to the exit, they discovered the huge octopus still lingering outside, blocking their way out.

“What should we do?” Shen Jingqiu cast a glance at Lin Xuan.

Even though Lin Xuan was less cultivated than her, she did not underestimate him.

“Let’s try to rush out,” Lin Xuan gritted his teeth, not wanting to stay here any longer.

Wave!

Wave!

Both of them manifested Spiritual Armor around their bodies and rushed out swiftly.

Among them, Lin Xuan held a longsword at the ready, just in case.

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

The massive octopus danced its tentacles, stirring whirlpools underwater, attacking Lin Xuan and Shen Jingqiu.

The kind of attack that Lin Xuan and Shen Jingqiu couldn’t withstand, they held on for a while, but ultimately had to retreat again.

“Damn it, we’re trapped here!”

Lin Xuan’s face darkened slightly as he walked continuously around the great hall.

“Let it go, let’s rest for now.

That Demon Beast won’t stay here forever,” said Shen Jingqiu.

“Once my body is fully recovered, I can use a secret technique.

Then we’ll be able to get out.”

The two sat down cross-legged and began to cultivate.

Lin Xuan started to comprehend the inheritance he had gained recently, focusing on the Wind Emperor’s Sword and the Great Dragon Sword Seal.

Among them, he learned the Melt Wind Style, Hurricane Style, and Split Wind Style from the Wind Emperor’s Sword—three Sword Skills of immense power.

And this was just part of the content of the Wind Emperor’s Sword.

His newly acquired Great Dragon Sword Seal contained even more; it wasn’t a specific Sword Skill but a profound and mysterious Mental Realm.

Lord of Wine had told him that the Great Dragon Sword was an Attack Saint Technique, capable of evolving and simulating all attacking methods.

Although this sword seal wasn’t that outrageous, the attacking methods it contained were also rarely seen secret techniques.

With Lin Xuan’s strong Soul Power and exceptional comprehension, plus the guidance from Lord of Wine, he progressed rapidly.

Boom!

Boom!

Lin Xuan was startled awake; his back turned cold, feeling as though a pair of eyes were watching him.
