C169 Spirit Devouring Sword

2Only Ling Tianyu, Yun Lan, Mo Xiuyan and Qian Bao were left at the summit of the Sacred Mountain. The rest had already been sent to the Black River.

A smile appeared on Ling Tianyu's lips. He had already comprehended five sword Qis, and with his breakthrough in cultivation, he was able to form five sword lotuses easily.

In front of the Soul Devouring Sword, he could clearly see that the sword's body was flowing with light and overflowing with splendor.

This was the only piece of Gold Devouring Spirit Iron that had an unfathomable aura.

Upon closer inspection, the word "Sword Saint" was carved onto the hilt of the sword.

"Damn …"

Ling Tianyu cursed in his heart. To think that a good sword would be labeled as such.

When he thought about it later, Ling Tianyu felt relieved. Could it be that with his talent, he wouldn't be able to enter the position of Sword Saint?

Thinking of this, his right hand grabbed the sword hilt, forming a Qi form and injecting five sword lotuses into the Spirit Devouring Sword. Suddenly, a strong sword intent burst forth, preventing the sword lotuses from entering.

"This old man seems a little guilty."

Ling Tianyu thought to himself. He was still worried that he would lose the bet between the Sword Saint and the mysterious person. However, he was definitely unwilling to change the ownership of the sword that he had personally forged.

Therefore, the Sword Saint had left a hand behind to seal a strand of sword intent in the sword seed, preventing the sword lotus from entering.

"Hmph, if you don't let me take the Soul Devouring Sword away, I won't let you have your way."

Ling Tianyu harrumphed coldly. He began to circulate the Ancient Strengthening Technique and began to decipher the sword intent.

Only a day had passed, and the Devouring Spirit Sword's body trembled slightly. The sword intent left behind by the Sword Saint began to disappear.

All of a sudden, the glow of the Devouring Spirit Sword intensified, and all the warriors who had yet to be teleported to the Black River beneath the holy mountain raised their heads to look up.

"Look, a strong golden light is erupting from above."

"What's going on? There doesn't seem to be any information regarding this golden light."

Everyone was thrown into chaos. They were afraid that a crisis would befall them, and that they would be buried here.

However, the golden light quickly disappeared and the Soul Devouring Sword on the mountain peak regained its calmness, as if anyone could take it away with them.

"This time, it should be successful."

Ling Tianyu pulled out the sword with his hand, but the Spirit Devouring Sword didn't budge in the slightest.

"Looks like I really have to throw in five sword lotuses." Frowning slightly, Ling Tianyu infused his zhenqi into his body.

Of course, it was impossible for one to infuse sword qi into a spirit weapon, and one could only replace it with true qi. If one didn't grasp a Thousand Lotus Sword, even if one used true qi, it wouldn't be able to achieve true results.

With the entrance of the five sword lotuses, the Soul Devouring Sword seemed to have a life of its own and was full of spirit.

At this moment, a voice echoed in Ling Tianyu's mind.

"How is this possible? How could any warrior below the Life and Death Realm be able to comprehend the Sword Qi Transformation and even break through the sword intent of this Saint?"

His voice was full of doubt, but he had no choice but to believe it.

"There is nothing impossible in this world."

He naturally knew who the owner of this voice was.

"Chi!"

Easily pulling out the Soul Devouring Sword, Ling Tianyu felt a sense of familiarity. Whether it was in length or size, the sword seemed to be custom-made for him.

"Congratulations to you. This old man's sword is the best in the world. I hope you can bring it on and make it into a powerful weapon comparable to a World God Protecting Weapon."

After a moment of silence, the voice resounded once again. He finally accepted this fact.

However, this was not the real Sword Saint, but a will that he had left behind. Now that the Spirit Devouring Sword had become Ling Tianyu's object, his will would dissipate as well.

Nodding his head, Ling Tianyu finally responded to Sword Saint.

A Spirit Devouring Sword that could evolve into a Thousand Lotus Sword. This could be considered as Ling Tianyu receiving the Sword Saint's legacy.

There were still five days until the fifteenth day. Ling Tianyu had been stabilizing his cultivation level and the fifth sword intent.

He did not continue to meditate on the inheritances of the other four Saints because he had chosen the Sword Dao, so there was no need to take any other path.

Moreover, after entering the Black River, he had a premonition that there would be a crisis. Regardless of whether it was the Non-Phase Sect, Liu Wuheng, or Liu Xiang Zong, they should all want to get rid of him in this secret realm.

In the blink of an eye, five days had passed. Ling Tianyu felt a strong force of spatial crowding.

He pondered. This should have something to do with the Dao of Space, but right now, he was too weak to comprehend it. He cast a glance at Yun Lan and the rest, and the four of them swiftly disappeared.

The Black River was indeed a river.

The surface of the river was several dozen zhang wide, and the river water was black. It was probably because of this that it was called the Black River.

Such a narrow river surface could be easily traversed, but with so many martial artists gathered on the side of the Black River, not to mention crossing, it would be extremely difficult to even get close to the edge of the Black River.

This was because the Black River water was extremely corrosive. Moreover, it also gave off a strange aura that made people lose control of their emotions and personality.

Earlier, there were people who wanted to cross the river, but before they could even reach the river bank, they were struck by a cloud of fog. They lost all rationality and started killing in the crowd.

However, with Yun Bufan and the rest present, the man was quickly subdued.

"This trial by fire is too difficult. The Black River is so bizarre, and we can't even get near it. How are we supposed to cross it?" Someone complained.

"That's right, the corrosive properties of the Black River water are extremely strong. Even a Rank 5 Spirit Weapon would corrode if it were to fall into it. How are we supposed to get there?"

It wasn't that they hadn't thought of using spirit artifacts.

However, quite a few people had tried it before. Once the spirit artifact was placed into the water, it immediately emitted white mist and then disappeared.

This caused the several True Essence Realm cultivators to feel extremely pained. A Rank 5 Spirit Weapon was impossible to refine unless one was in the Life and Death Realm. These were all rewards given to them by their clan's elders. But now, it was gone just like that.

"Just you wait. Once the time is up, this damned place will automatically send someone out."

"I thought it was the island earlier, but I didn't expect to enter the true trial ground. Although I gained quite a bit in terms of spirit medicine and cultivation, I've also lost many of my disciples' lives."

"Aren't secret realms like this as well? How can there be no casualties?"

"Senior Brother Yun, can you tell us more about what happened at the summit of the Sacred Mountain …"

Many disciples of the Jade Sea Sect gathered around Yun Bufan as he sat down to meditate and ponder about how to cross the river.

Liu Xiang Sect, Wei Liangcai, and the others also sat at the side. Only by crossing the Black River could they truly complete the trial and receive a reward.

Everyone knew that since this was the ancient trial grounds, the rewards would definitely not be cheap.

Thus, even though the Black River was extremely dangerous, they all wanted to cross it.0

"Humph, the summit of the Holy Mountain, how could you know about it?" Yun Bufan did not say anything, but Liu Wuhen said impatiently.

Recalling the figures of Ling Tianyu and Yun Lan, Liu Wuhen's anger surged up. He really could not understand how Ling Tianyu managed to reach the peak of the mountain. Furthermore, there were also three people who were related to him.

Most importantly, these four people were all disciples of Jadeite Jade Peak. For his position, for that beautiful figure of Jadeite Jade Peak, the Liu Xiang Sect would definitely not allow them to grow up.

"Brother Liu, why are you so angry with our fellow disciples?"

Xunxue's skin was like snow, and his white teeth were slightly opened. His voice was incomparably wonderful.

She smiled faintly and said, "The Holy Mountain this time is very interesting. Could it be that Brother Liu doesn't want to explain the four disciples of your Silver Moon Sect?"

If the warriors who ascended the Holy Mountain were more balanced, they would have nothing to say. But now, it was obvious that the Silver Moon Sect had more people. As long as there was time, the Silver Moon Sect would surely reach its peak.

This was not allowed by the other four sects.

Although the Silver Moon Sect used to be the head of the five sects, its power was only slightly higher than the other sects. But now, once the Silver Moon Sect reached its peak, even if the four sects joined forces, their strength would be greatly reduced.

"Do you need me to explain? "In that case, I hope that everyone will not interfere in the internal affairs of our Silver Moon Sect."

Liu Wu Hen's face was gloomy as he spoke indifferently.
