Currently, even if Duan Lingtian obtained the Wind Profundity Fragment, he could only temporarily keep it as a backup.
"But even if I can't use it for now, it's not bad to keep it as a backup."
Duan Lingtian thought to himself.
"Profundity Fragment … Even if it's the great treasure that Emperor Wu prepared for his third lifetime during his second lifetime, there seems to only be three."
Profundity Fragments were usually only Martial Monarchs that were able to nurture them.
Moreover, there weren't many Martial Monarchs on Cloud Continent, and there were absolutely no more than 100 living Martial Monarchs.
In such a large Cloud Continent, there were no more than 100 Martial Monarchs, so the preciousness of a Profundity Fragment was obvious.
Moreover, a Martial Monarch Stage expert only needed a single thought to detonate a Profundity Fragment.
So even if someone was able to kill a Martial Monarch Stage expert, the person would most likely be unable to obtain the Martial Monarch Stage expert's Profundity Fragment.
Presently, practically all the Profundity Fragments on Cloud Continent were left behind by Martial Monarchs after they passed away.
There were very few Profundity Fragments obtained from killing Martial Monarchs.
The preciousness of a Profundity Fragment was obvious.
"What's the first test of wisdom?"
Duan Lingtian couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he noticed that the Martial Monarch's voice didn't move any longer.
"Let's continue forward and take a look."
After waiting for a while without any movement, Duan Lingtian continued forward.
In next to no time, a familiar fluctuation spread out beneath Duan Lingtian's feet, and it was precisely another Inscription Formation that had been activated.
"It's coming!"
Duan Lingtian's heart constricted, and he couldn't help but become vigilant.
Right at this moment, the Martial Monarch's voice sounded out once more, and this time it seemed to be cold and indifferent, and it didn't contain the slightest emotion. "The first test of wisdom … Find the one and only grade one spirit sword in the Sword Tomb and pull it out!
"If you choose wrongly and fail the test … No matter if you succeed or fail, the sword you pull out will be the reward you obtained in the first test! The remaining swords will be buried underground and never see the light of day again. "
The Martial Monarch's voice stopped abruptly here.
Grade one spirit sword?
Duan Lingtian's pupils constricted, and he started to look around the surroundings.
He knew clearly in his heart that the Sword Tomb mentioned by the Martial Monarch was probably referring to this cave filled with lava and swords.
However, there was actually a grade one Spirit Sword among these swords?
Grade one spirit sword …
Even if the level of the weapon craftsman who refined the grade one Spirit Sword was mediocre, it was still a grade one Spirit Weapon after all. The amplification would be at least 87%.
An increase of 87%, what sort of concept was that?
Even the grade four spirit sword in Duan Ling Tian's hand that he refined himself only provided a 60% amplification.
"However, the difficulty of finding the only grade one Spirit Sword among so many Spirit Swords is really not small! There are at least over 100 swords here, and grade three spirit swords occupy almost 90% of them, and grade two spirit swords only occupy 10% … "
"Unless it's a high grade weapon craftsman with unique experience … Otherwise, it's very difficult to distinguish what's different about these spirit swords."
Duan Lingtian's gaze casually swept past these spirit swords.
Even if he used his Spiritual Force to investigate and coupled with the experience he'd inherited from Emperor Wu of Samsara, he wasn't able to notice which sword was a grade one spirit sword.
Let alone the others.
"If the others were to encounter this test, they would at most obtain a grade three spirit sword … However, even if it's only a grade three spirit sword, it can already be considered as a precious treasure to martial artists that haven't walked out of the Foreign Lands."
Duan Lingtian thought to himself.
"If I'm unable to find a grade one spirit sword, then even if I'm able to obtain a grade two spirit sword or a grade three spirit sword, I'll still be considered to have failed the test …"
Duan Lingtian took a deep breath before walking out and starting to carefully size up the surroundings.
After looking for a long time, Duan Lingtian confirmed it.
There was a total of 103 spirit swords here.
Amongst them, 90 were grade three spirit swords, and the other 13 were grade two spirit swords …
"What's going on? Isn't there a grade one spirit sword? "
Duan Lingtian was dumbfounded.
Even if he wanted to scam someone, he shouldn't do it like this, right?
Duan Lingtian shook his head and carefully sized up the 103 spirit swords before him again.
In the end, he still came up empty-handed.
"I'm sure there's no grade one spirit sword among the 103 spirit swords here!"
Duan Lingtian was extremely certain.
What a joke!
Although he was only a grade three weapons craftsman now, he had the memories of Samsara Emperor Wu in his mind. His judgment was no different from Samsara Emperor Wu's.
When Samsara Emperor Wu was at his peak, he was a Royal Grade weapons craftsman that surpassed grade one weapons craftsmen and quasi Royal Grade weapons craftsmen.
Even if a grade one spirit weapon was placed in front of Samsara Emperor Wu, Samsara Emperor Wu would not even spare it a glance.
Perhaps, in the eyes of Samsara Emperor Wu, a grade one spirit weapon was no different from trash.
"That Martial Monarch isn't playing with me, right?"
Duan Lingtian frowned.
With a quick thought, Duan Lingtian dispelled this thought.
Since that Martial Monarch set up such a test, he would presumably not do it for no reason.
"Perhaps that grade one spirit sword is hidden somewhere else."
When he thought up to here, Duan Lingtian's attention no longer revolved around the 103 spirit swords that were inserted into the ground, and he sized up the surroundings of the cavern instead.
This cavern couldn't be considered to be large when compared to the first and second levels of the Sword Monarch's Treasure.
After casually taking a few steps, everything within the cavern appeared before Duan Lingtian's eyes.
In this cavern that was covered in lava, besides the 103 spirit swords that were inserted into the ground, there was also a pile of scrap metal that was scattered around the cavern.
These pieces of scrap metal were mostly sword embryos and the like.
"The Martial Monarch that left behind the Sword Monarch's Treasure wouldn't be a weapons craftsman as well, right?"
Duan Lingtian guessed in his heart.
"Besides the 103 spirit swords that are inserted into the ground, the remaining are all scrap metal … Now, I can confirm that there isn't a grade one spirit sword amongst the 103 spirit swords!"
"Could it be that the grade one spirit sword is hidden within this pile of scrap metal?"
When he thought up to here, the thoughts in Duan Lingtian's heart grew even stronger.
"Search, search, search."
Subsequently, Duan Lingtian started searching carefully within the scrap metal.
In the end, he really did notice an inkling.
Swish!
With a raise of his hand, Duan Lingtian pushed the pile of scrap metal to the side.
At the same time, a simple and unadorned sword embryo appeared before Duan Lingtian's eyes.
At this moment, it was a sword embryo that had yet to undergo the final step of weapon refinement, and it was extremely ugly and black.
However, the sword embryo had a sword hilt and a sword blade, so it could be used as a sword, but it was only slightly ugly.
At this moment, a part of this ugly sword embryo was inserted into the cavern wall.
"If it wasn't for the fact that I have the memories of the Royal Grade Weapons Craftsman, Emperor Wu of Samsara, I'm afraid I would have failed this test of wisdom. Who would have thought that a black sword embryo that was hidden within a piece of scrap metal would actually be a grade one spirit sword? "
Looking at the extremely ugly sword embryo before him, Duan Lingtian had a wry smile on his face.
After confirming that this sword embryo was a grade one spirit sword, Duan Lingtian did not hesitate and raised his hand to grab the sword hilt, preparing to pull it out.
Just when Duan Lingtian's hand touched the sword hilt.
Whoosh!
A strong light suddenly flashed before Duan Lingtian's eyes, causing him to be unable to help but close his eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, he noticed that the remaining 103 spirit swords and the surrounding scrap metal had vanished into thin air within this cavern that was filled with lava.
Only the ugly sword embryo in his hand was left in the entire cavern.
"Congratulations, you've passed the first test of wisdom and obtained a grade one spirit sword."
At the same time, Duan Lingtian heard a voice that sounded out from the ugly sword embryo in his hand.
"The Sound Condensing Inscription left behind by that Martial Monarch is really everywhere."
Duan Lingtian shook his head and smiled as he pulled out the sword embryo.
The Sound Condensing Inscription was similar to a Sound Condensing Jade Slip, and it could be used as a medium to leave a message.
The latter required Origin Energy to be activated.
The former only required someone to touch it before it could be activated by itself.
"This grade one Spiritual Sword is truly a little ugly."
Looking at the ugly sword embryo in his hand, Duan Lingtian shook his head and laughed bitterly.
"I wonder to what extent the amplification of such an ugly grade one spirit sword is …."
Duan Lingtian thought in his heart as he released the Origin Energy in his hand and pressed it into the extremely ugly sword embryo, intending to test its amplification.
Whoosh!
In practically an instant, the energy of heaven and earth above Duan Lingtian roiled before developing into numerous ancient horned dragon and ancient mammoth silhouettes in the end.
There were a total of seven ancient horned dragon silhouettes.
There were an entire 5,200 ancient mammoth silhouettes.
"I'm currently at the third level of the Void Initiation Stage, and without using a spirit weapon or Concept, my strength is comparable to the strength of four ancient horned dragons … In other words, the amplification is the strength of three ancient horned dragons plus the strength of 5,200 ancient mammoths."
Duan Lingtian pondered briefly before confirming in the end.
"This grade one spirit sword is able to amplify strength by 88%! It can be considered to be not bad amongst grade one spirit weapons. "
Duan Lingtian looked at the sword embryo and nodded, then laughed bitterly. "But, this sword is truly too ugly … I'm really embarrassed to take it out in front of others."
Up until now, Duan Lingtian was still unable to let go of the appearance of this grade one spirit sword.
After returning to his senses, Duan Lingtian held the grade one spirit sword tightly in his hand.
According to the message left behind by the Martial Monarch earlier.
The second test would be a test of strength!
Even though Duan Lingtian didn't know exactly what the next test of strength would be, it was undoubtedly a test that would test his strength.
Presently, as he held the grade one spirit sword, Duan Lingtian felt his confidence increase greatly.
"Presently, I'm able to exert the strength of seven ancient horned dragons and over 5,000 ancient mammoths by relying on the grade one spirit sword … If I utilize second level Wind Concept, Advanced Lightning Force, and Elementary Earth Force, I'll gain the strength of two ancient horned dragons and over 2,000 ancient mammoths!"
"Added together, it's the strength of nine ancient horned dragons and over 7,000 ancient mammoths! Almost the strength of 10 ancient horned dragons …. "
