Chapter 754: Strange Fluctuations
At this moment, a strange wave came from the depths of the sword tomb.
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Chen felt a terrifying sword intent rapidly condensing and soaring into the sky.
Whoosh~
Immediately afterwards, a dazzling golden beam of light broke through the layers of sword intent and pierced into the sky.
Jiang Chen was stunned, looking up at the golden beam of light in the void.
"The ancestor of sword intent!" Jian Chen exclaimed.
"The ancestor of sword intent is the emperor of all swords. It has existed for so long that the sword intent in the sword tomb has already formed the ancestor of sword intent!"
Jian Chen said excitedly.
Jiang Chen blinked, not understanding what the ancestor of sword intent was.
"Jiang Chen, go in quickly. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." Jian Chen urged hurriedly.
Jiang Chen did not hesitate, he leaped up and flew towards the golden beam of light.
Swish!
At this moment, a silver sword slashed down.
clang.
Jiang Chen raised his sword to block, and the vibrating sword intent swept out.
"It's not a human, it's a monster!"
Jiang Chen's eyes were sharp, and he could see clearly from the cold light of the sword that the one attacking him was actually a python.
The huge python opened its bloody mouth and bit Jiang Chen's sword blade, trying to tear it apart.
Jiang Chen's expression remained unchanged, his sword energy sank, and a majestic sword intent gushed out, surging like a raging wave.
roar.
The giant python roared and spat out venom, corroding Jiang Chen's sword intent and attacking him again.
Jiang Chen's face darkened, his arm muscles swelled, and explosive power poured onto the sword blade.
With a click, the giant python's huge body froze in mid-air and then slowly fell to the ground.
"As expected of Jiang Chen."
Jian Chen was surprised. The fighting power displayed by Jiang Chen in that moment just now was completely beyond his expectations.
"This is just the outer perimeter of the sword tomb. The strength of the sword intent is not very high. If we go deeper, we will definitely encounter stronger monsters."
Jian Chen explained, motioning for Jiang Chen to follow.
Jiang Chen nodded, followed Jian Chen closely, and entered the depths of the sword tomb.
After passing through mountains and vegetation, a huge rock appeared in front of us. The surface of the rock was uneven, as if it had been cut by something.
Jian Chen stood in front of the boulder and stretched out his right palm to place it on it.
Buzz~
Suddenly, the boulder trembled violently, and a terrifying majesty spread out.
Jiang Chen's heart was beating wildly, and he vaguely sensed a trace of sword spirit.
"Why is there a sword spirit here?"
Jiang Chen felt something was wrong. He knew that the sword soul was the sword intent condensed into something material and possessed a certain level of intelligence.
However, the sword intent in the sword tomb was left by the ancestor of sword intent, so how could the sword soul be born?
At this moment, a ray of green light burst out and turned into a sharp sword.
The sharp sword hung in the air, its edge exposed, and a pair of cold eyes stared at Jiang Chen and Jian Chen.
"What a powerful sword spirit!"
Jiang Chen's pupils shrank into needles and he felt tremendous pressure, as if he was the only one in the world.
"I want to become your disciple, please teach me, Sword Spirit!"
Jian Chen knelt down facing the green light.
His words were filled with endless desire.
Boom!
Suddenly, a green light flashed, and the sword spirit was unsheathed and shot towards Jian Chen at an extremely fast speed, like a bolt of lightning.
Jiang Chen was stunned, and Jian Chen was also stunned, but he quickly recovered and accurately caught the green light.
"congratulations."
Jian Chen breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile.
Jiang Chen also reacted at this time. He did not refuse and followed Jian Chen to the front of the boulder.
At the bottom of the boulder, there lay a rusty iron sword, which was out of place with the surrounding scene.
The sword intent emanates from it, causing the sword intent within the sword tomb to change.
“The sword intent in the sword tomb all comes from this iron sword, but not every sword has a sword spirit.” Jian Chen explained.
"That's why you asked me to come here, hoping to gain the sword spirit with the help of the sword's sword intent." Jiang Chen said.
Jian Chen nodded and admitted that this was indeed his plan.
"Let me try first."
He tried to communicate with the iron sword, but failed as the sword spirit was unwilling to recognize its master.
"Your physique is too weak, give up for now." Jian Chen suggested.
He knew how precious this sword intent was, and it was almost impossible for Jiang Chen to refine it.
"Well, I'll think about it."
Jiang Chen said, and with a thought, Jian Yuan flew back to his Dantian.
“Although your cultivation is not strong enough, you have extraordinary potential. Given time, you will surely become famous in Jianzhou.” Jian Chen praised.
Jiang Chen smiled and asked, "I wonder how many years it will take you to refine this sword intent?"
Hearing Jiang Chen's words, Jian Chen's face showed bitterness.
"The sword intent in the sword tomb is the purest sword intent. Even if it is my sword body, it will take at least thirty years to refine it."
Jiang Chen suddenly realized. He still remembered that outside Xuanwu City, Jian Chen used a sword technique and almost killed the head of the Jiang family.
That style of swordsmanship was transformed from the sword intent.
"Let's get out of here."
Jian Chen said, continuing to walk deeper into the sword tomb.
....
Inside the sword tomb, the sword intent was filled with a desolate aura that was creepy.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Jian Chen brought Jiang Chen to a tombstone.
There are two lines of words engraved on the tombstone.
The master of sword intent, the father of Jian Chen!
"This is the master of the Sword Tomb."
Jian Chen whispered that his father was once the most outstanding disciple of the Sword Sect and the founder of the Sword Sect. He was known as the second Sword Master in the history of the Sword Sect!
However, because he violated the sect rules and betrayed the sect, he was punished and died in the sword tomb .
"At whose hands did he die?" Jiang Chen asked curiously. He had not forgotten that Jian Chen said that the death of the Lord of Sword Intent was related to the Sword Sect.
"The Sword Sect's ancestor."
Jian Chen was silent for a long time, then spoke.
Jiang Chen was stunned. He didn't expect that the person buried here was the ancestor of the Sword Sect.
“The ancestor of the Sword Sect entered the realm of the Emperor earlier than the Lord of Sword Intent, and is one of the top talents in our Sword Domain.”
Jian Chen said: "The original ancestor of the Sword Sect was also a great sword saint. His attainments in the way of the sword were extremely profound, even surpassing the ancestor of the sword intent."
Jiang Chen nodded. He guessed that this rumor was most likely true.
Because the ancestor of sword intent is a legend in the sword realm.
Even for him, if he wanted to reach the level of the ancestor of sword intent, relying on the rich sword intent in the sword domain, it would probably take at least a hundred years of effort.
“The realm of the Sword Sect’s ancestor was several times that of the Sword Intent’s ancestor, but he was still no match for the Sword Intent’s ancestor and died tragically here.”
Jian Chen's mood became depressed.
"During that period, the Sword Region was divided into four veins: South, North, West, and East."
"After the death of the ancestor of sword intent, the Northern Sword Region was leaderless and fell into chaos."
"Afterwards, the South Vein rose up, the Sword Region returned to peace, and the North Vein fell under the command of the South Vein and was ruled by the South Vein."
"It was also from that time that the Sword Sect broke away from the Sword Region and became independent from the South, North, and West Sects."
Listening to Jian Chen telling the story of Jian Yu, Jiang Chen secretly clicked his tongue.
"It turns out that the death of the ancestor of sword intent was done by the ancestor of the sword sect." He couldn't help but say.
Hearing this, Jian Chen remained silent.
