C212 Sword-stone
"Since you're here, then be at ease!"
After a while, Tang Huan's state of mind had calmed down, he suddenly revealed a smile and looked at the two of them and slowly said, "Back then when Sword Crafting Valley held the 'Tools Method Sacred Assembly', many people managed to successfully walk out of the 'Mazy Sword Valley'. This time, we were not unable to leave."
"Brother Tang Huan, back then, only high-level Weapon Refiner participated in the Tools Method Sacred Assembly, and even now, you are only at mid-level Weapon Refiner. Wanting to leave this Mazy Sword Valley is easier said than done."
Gu Ying shook his head and sighed, "Brother Tang Huan, I do not mean to belittle you. However, it is said that ever since this' Mazy Sword Valley 'appeared, no one has ever succeeded in doing so."
"No matter what, I have to give it a try?"
Tang Huan said with a stern expression.
Regarding Gu Ying's words, he naturally did not mind them since what Gu Ying said was the truth. After all, tens of years later, this "Mazy Sword Valley" was even more mysterious and caused others to change their expressions.
"I don't think so."
A charming smile suddenly appeared on Mu Yan's snowy face. "A few months ago, Tang Huan was just an ordinary person who had not cultivated any Innate Qi."
And now, not only has he become a mid-grade weapons craftsman, he has even become a fifth-grade Martial Master. He has even obtained the number one weapons craftsman and martial artist in the Weapon Refining Competition and the Phoenix Spirit Martial Meet. On the continent, there were countless treasures and martial geniuses that were similar in age to him, but who could reach such a level? Especially since he has the physique of a metal of the five elements, and even merged with the 'Nirvanic Sacred Flame', no one can compare to him.
"Other mid-level Weapon Refiner might not be able to accomplish things that they can't either."
After the initial shock and worry, Mu Yan who had recovered from his shock was completely confident in Tang Huan's abilities.
Honestly speaking, he had never considered things like what Mu Yan had said. After finding out that this was the "Mazy Sword Valley", he subconsciously felt that everyone was doomed to die. The information regarding the "Mazy Sword Valley" was deeply rooted in his mind.
However, after hearing what Mu Yan said, his mind was suddenly filled with life.
He hadn't known Tang Huan for very long, but he had long heard quite a few things about Tang Huan. Tang Huan's short few months of experience, could even be described as "miraculous", and it would not be excessive at all. Perhaps, Tang Huan could even create another miracle.
"Mu Yan, after hearing what you just said, I can't help but feel like I'm about to drift off."
Tang Huan laughed, although he appeared to be extremely calm and composed in front of Mu Yan and Gu Ying earlier, he actually did not have much confidence in walking out of the "Mazy Sword Valley".
After all, he was the only refiner out of the three of them. If even he gave up on him, there wouldn't even be a chance for him to escape.
"Ah, shit!" Gu Ying suddenly slapped his thigh and shouted, "Walking out of Mazy Sword Valley is not something that can be done in a short amount of time. We didn't bring any food with us, so we might as well starve to death before we even walk out. Look at those guys, they must be starving to death. "
"I don't have anything to eat, but I drank quite a bit."
Mu Yan was also startled, but after a while she laughed and patted the two gourds on her waist, "The 'True Fire Spirit Spring' is not an ordinary item, for adults like us, as long as we take a small amount every day, we do not need to worry about dying of thirst. Three gourds, these two are almost full. Adding Tang Huan's, let alone two or three months, even if it's half a year, it would still be enough. "
Forget about the "Primordial Fire Spirit Spring" in the bottle gourd on Tang Huan's waist, after all, it was an outer layer of the spring, it was much weaker in terms of its effectiveness, but the other two bottle gourds of "Primordial Fire Spirit Spring" were definitely rare treasures.
"Yeah, how did I forget about the 'true fire spirit spring water'?" Gu Ying was beaming with joy.
"?"
The existence of a large number of "True Fire Spirit Fountain" made the three of them completely calm down.
When the sky brightened and the first rays of dawn appeared, Tang Huan who had recovered his true qi earlier had already stood up, standing in front of a sword stone that was a few meters tall.
Every single sword stone here appeared to be crystal clear white, as if they were carved out of white jade.
Inside the sword stone, there were countless fine veined patterns. Different sword stones had different patterns and runes.
Each piece of the "Mazy Sword Valley" stone was equivalent to a sharp sword, and the complex patterns on the sword were equivalent to the Spiritual Array s drawn on the weapon during the forging process. It was also because of the refiner's attainments regarding Spiritual Array.
To walk out of the "Mazy Sword Valley", he had to find the correct Spiritual Array s from the patterns on the sword stone, and then use his true energy to map it out. If he succeeded, the sword stone would be activated, and then, a "Sword Seal" would separate from the sword stone, branding between the brows of the refiner.
It was said that when that "Sword Seal" superimposed onto the thirty-six lines, one could naturally find a way out of the "Mazy Sword Valley".1
However, the duration of each "Sword Seal" was only a short half a month.
If thirty-six "Sword Seal" were not gathered within fifteen days after the appearance of the first "Sword Seal", then the first "Sword Seal" would be absorbed by the sword stone and the rest of the "Sword Seal" would collapse as well. Thus, the time limit for the "Mazy Sword Valley" that year was set at sixteen days.
However, if one could walk out of the "Mazy Sword Valley" before the first "Sword Seal" disappeared, all of the "Sword Seal" would slowly be absorbed by the soul, causing it to become even stronger.
For the refiner who had participated in the last stage of the "Tools Method Sacred Assembly" back then, even if they could not enter the top three and live in the Sword Crafting Valley, as long as they could successfully exit the "Mazy Sword Valley" within the time limit, their gains would still be no small matter.
In this world, things that could enhance the soul were basically all kept in the Holy Spirit Continent of Celestial Clan, and they would never be spread out.
Whether it was the human race's glorious continent, Origin Continent, or Nirvana Continent, they were all extremely rare and precious. Something like "Sword Seal", which could raise one's soul, was incomparably precious.
Tang Huan only observed for a while before he couldn't help but draw back his right index and middle finger, placing them on the sword stone in front of him.
The zhenqi flowed through his fingers and seeped into one of the patterns on the stone.
"Chi!"
Amidst the faint ringing sounds, the mark immediately revealed a bit of light. Tang Huan's finger slowly moved along the lines, the light following him. However, the light was rather weak. It was like sparks, and it only flickered a few times before being extinguished completely.
