C777 The Secret of the Sword Tomb
The rear mountains of the Sword Hall were normally forbidden for outsiders to enter, not to mention the Ancestral Hall located at the deepest parts of the back mountains. There were even disciples of the Sword Hall guarding the halls, preventing outsiders from entering and exiting.
But at this moment, within the ancestral hall behind Sword Hall, Ah Ji stood in front of a row of tablets.
"Senior apprentice-brother!" Old Taoist didn't even have time to bow before he called into the ancestral hall once again.
Not long after, White-browed Taoist, who was wearing a grey robe and holding a cloth in his hand, arrived …
At the entrance, while wiping away the flying dust on the door frame, he asked, "Lord Headmaster, why have you come?"
"Senior brother, you've killed me." Hearing White-browed Taoist's words, Old Taoist bitterly laughed.
He then looked at White-browed Taoist and patted Ah Ji's shoulder. With a serious expression, he said, "Martial Brother, look!"
"This kid seems to have formed one of the Sword Tomb's four Sword Souls!"
White-browed Taoist originally had an indifferent expression, but after hearing Old Taoist's words, his expression changed drastically. Two rays of light shot out from his eyes. With a 'sou' sound, they turned into afterimages as they arrived beside Ah Ji.
At the same time, his body emitted a strong force that went into Ah Ji's body.
The next moment, Ah Ji stood where he was without moving. However, a strong sword intent was emitted from his body, instantly forcing White-browed Taoist's energy to retreat and dispersing the energy that was floating outside.
White-browed Taoist groaned and took half a step back. His eyes became brighter and brighter as he stared at Ah Ji and said, "It really is one of the four Sword Spirits of the Sword Tomb!"
"Only, I wonder if it's the Immortal Execution or the Immortal Slaying!" When White-browed Taoist said this, he frowned and said softly, "Strange, this aura is..."
"Charge sword stance." Old Taoist said with a smile.
Hearing Old Taoist's words, White-browed Taoist sucked in a deep breath and then felt relieved. He shook his head and said, "To be able to obtain the approval of the four Sword Spirits and the last move of the stone pillar, it is nothing strange."
"It's just that it's a bit strange. Why is this sword spirit in his body?"
According to previous experiences, the four great sword souls had appeared twice and were attached to two divine swords, causing the two swords to possess unimaginable power.
Furthermore, when one of the ancestors ran away with the Immortal's sword, it created a bloody war in the outside world. The life of the Immortal's sword was like a thunderclap that pierced the ears, making it famous in the world.
However, both swords were lost later on and disappeared with the passing of the two ancestors.
"Sigh …" At this time, Old Taoist sighed and asked, "Senior Brother, do you still remember that matter?"
"Hmm?" White-browed Taoist was stunned and frowned as he looked at his junior.
Ah Ji didn't know what the two were talking about as he stood beside them, but he could tell from the words that the two were shocked by the dark sword energy that he had obtained.
"You mean, that?" Suddenly, White-browed Taoist seemed to have thought of something and his pupils constricted.
Old Taoist sighed. His eyes showed reminiscence. He shook his head and said, "We have to prepare in advance."
Their thoughts seemed to return to the time when they had just entered the sect.
At that time, there was an ancestor in the Sword Hall who, although his swordsmanship was average, was proficient in the art of divination.
Seventy years ago, before that ancestor had left, he had predicted that the two great sword spirits would appear together in a glorious world, causing a storm of blood and gore in this golden world, and that the Sword Hall would be overturned by those two swords.
Of course, these were all divined by that ancestor. Things in the world were ever-changing, so who could say which things were the same?
"The words of that ancestor were not very clear. I wonder which one it was." White-browed Taoist frowned as he looked at Ah Ji in fear, "Or both at the same time?!"
"Senior-apprentice Brother, you can't!" Hearing this, Old Taoist hurriedly waved his hand. He looked at Ah Ji and said, "Senior Brother, we'll be leaving first. As long as you know about this matter."
After saying that, Old Taoist didn't wait for Ah Ji to react. He grabbed Ah Ji's wrist and left the ancestral hall.1
Returning to the Sword Hall, Old Taoist sighed and said: "Go look for Hui Chen, let him take you to complete the procedures for entering the Sword Hall, from now on, you are a member of the Sword Hall."
"I know you're confused, but these matters are very important, so I can't tell you for the time being."
Hearing Old Taoist's words, Ah Ji nodded his head and didn't ask any more questions. He turned around and walked in the direction Old Taoist pointed to.
Since Old Taoist didn't want to say it, it was useless for him to ask.
"I should finish the ceremony as soon as possible and go back home to take a look." Ah Ji muttered.
At this time, something big had happened on the Sunset Peak located far away in Jiangbei!
Due to the siege of Martial Arts Association, they had not been down the mountain for a long time. Almost all the food they could eat had been eaten up.
The water source was not a problem, but Chen Wu, who was a beginner, could not eat at all!
Therefore, the scene before their eyes appeared, and in the entire Sunset Peak Mountain Gate, all the disciples looked weak and listless. In these two days, they had not eaten a single grain of rice, and only relied on drinking water to satisfy their hunger.
Because Taoist Palace was newly built, and had yet to store so much food, if no change occurred, the disciples of the sect would starve to death.
Rumors had already spread that many people had lost their will to fight. If this continued, even if they did not starve to death, there would definitely be people who would have ill intentions.
"Master, what should we do?" Chen Wu's face was gloomy. He looked at Gao Pei and said, "If this continues, I'm afraid..."
"I know." Gao Pei sighed.
He made a decision in his heart. He turned around, looked at Chen Wu and said: "Send someone to keep an eye on the people below tonight."
"What do you want?" Chen Wu's heart sank as he hurriedly asked.
"Break through." After a moment, Gao Pei spat out two words.
The only thing he could do now was to think of a way to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage. Once he had condensed the blood infant, with the power of the Flesh Body, he would be able to survive for a short period of time.
However, all of these things required him to break through to the Blood Soul Realm. Otherwise, it would be very difficult for him to save the situation.
But he didn't say one thing, and that was that Gao Pei hadn't reached the breakthrough point yet. If he tried to forcefully form his blood baby right now, the chances of failure would be higher than success.
But now, other than this method, there was no other way to break out of this situation. Even if he were to escape this place by himself, with the army below him, with his strength as a Blood Pill, he would not be able to escape.
