Tsing Hui looked at the mountain wall in front of him.
With the Green Firmament Sword's sharpness, it would not be difficult to dig through the mountain wall, but it would take at least two to three days.
And according to Zhou Guiyi, there was a mysterious energy in the cave that would erupt every day. That was their true killing move.
The reason the Myriad Swords Mountain had been able to survive until now despite having offended the Lorraine royal family was because of this mysterious energy in their ancestral land. It had helped them kill invaders time and time again, allowing them to survive.
That mysterious force could even kill a Qi Refinement cultivator who had formed Gang …
Tsing Hui's expression turned grave.
He had to get one thousand meters away from the mountain before that mysterious energy erupted.
Digging through the mountain wall was no longer practical.
Tsing Hui immediately turned around and walked into the cave.
Even though Zhou Guiyi had lied to him, there was one thing he was right about. This cave was truly a treasure trove used by the Myriad Swords Mountain to store many precious treasures.
As he stepped into the cave, many precious pills, ores, divine weapons, and armors appeared before his eyes.
However, the Myriad Swords Mountain would definitely make full use of the truly top-tier natural treasures and convert them into strength. The rest were items that would not be used for the time being.
For example, top-tier ores that had yet to be forged into Divine Weapons, top-tier spirit herbs that had yet to mature, and so on.
There were many items here. Tsing Hui scanned them one by one and then moved them all into his personal dimension.
He had been complaining that his personal dimension was too empty, so he decided to empty out the treasury of the Myriad Swords Mountain to make up for it.
The only thing he regretted was that he did not find any items that could carry the Dao in these treasures.
This was to be expected. If items that could carry the Dao could be obtained so easily, no one would be willing to trade Rank Five, Rank Six, or even Rank Seven Divine Weapons and armors for them.
"Just what kind of danger is hidden in this cave?!"
Qing Xu circled around the cave and his gaze landed on the centre of the cave in the end.
The center of the cave was quite empty, like a large basketball court, with a diameter of more than thirty meters. However, the center of the cave was not an empty space, but a stone pillar. At first glance, it was about three meters in diameter, as if it was supporting the entire cave.
"The only strange thing about this cave is this stone pillar …"
Tsing Hui scanned the stone pillar for a moment. In the next moment, the Green Firmament Sword was suddenly unsheathed. The sharp edge of the sword carried bursts of sword Qi as it slashed at the stone pillar.
Bang!
When the Green Firmament Sword and the stone pillar collided, it actually emitted the sound of metal clashing. Tsing Hui felt the Green Firmament Sword in his hand fiercely shake, and the rebounding force forced him to continuously retreat. However, the stone pillar in front of him actually only had a fingernail-sized stone fragment fall off …
"…"
Before Tsing Hui could figure out what kind of material this stone pillar was made of to be able to withstand the sharpness of a level three Divine Weapon, an astonishing pressure was rapidly brewing on the stone pillar that was under attack, directly affecting his mental state. Once this power was unleashed, it seemed like it would be able to completely crush his mental state...
"This is … the sword intent that I felt earlier?!"
Tsing Hui's gaze suddenly fell on the stone pillar.
The sword intent he had sensed outside the cave was far stronger than the Taiyi Sword.
It actually came from this stone pillar!?
Seeing that the power of the sword intent contained in the stone pillar was becoming more and more condensed, as if a great terror was about to descend from the sky and annihilate all living things with an unstoppable force, Tsing Hui's pupils constricted, and the essence, energy, and spirit in his body suddenly erupted. In his mental world, a brilliant sword intent brazenly condensed, like the rising sun, shining brightly.
"Buzz buzz!"
Almost at the same time that Tsing Hui raised his sword intent to resist with all his might, the sword intent that had been brewing in the stone pillar had already exploded.
Majestic!
Vast!
Blazing!
Berserk!
This sword intent was like an annihilating spiritual storm, sweeping in all directions, bringing with it the power to burn the heavens and boil the seas. Before Tsing Hui could react, the rising sun in his mental world was like a volcano that had encountered doomsday, drowning in the surging magma. The brilliant sword light was instantly bombarded and shattered in all directions …
"Bang!"
The scorching sun exploded.
In his mental world, the scorching sun completely erupted in the magma torrent, releasing endless sword lights that illuminated the four seas.
The brilliant scorching sun seemed to be trying to evaporate the magma torrent and annihilate it into nothingness.
However, even though the scorching sun erupted with endless brilliance under the life and death pressure of the magma torrent and burned the vast magma ocean into nothingness, the power of the magma torrent was too majestic and grand. The area that was reduced to nothingness only lasted for a moment before more destructive torrents surged in from all directions, filling the void that was burned and annihilated by the brilliant scorching sun. Once again, the void was completely filled and drowned the erupting scorching sun …
"Rumble!"
Tsing Hui's mind was shaken.
His essence, energy, and spirit almost completely dissipated the moment the brilliant scorching sun in his mental world was shattered and drowned by the monstrous magma tsunami!
The violent blow not only made him sweat all over due to the severe damage to his essence, energy, and spirit, but also caused him to lose control of his body due to the loss of his spirit, causing him to bleed from his seven orifices.
If this continued …
His sword intent would collapse!?
Sword intent was actually a combination of a cultivator's essence, energy, and spirit that had been condensed to the extreme. It could even be considered the source of life.
If one's spirit collapsed, one might only end up in a vegetative state. In the future, one could still wake up if one obtained a treasure that could repair one's spirit. On the other hand, once one's sword intent collapsed, one's spirit, essence, energy, and blood would dissipate at the same time. Only death would await one.
At the moment of life and death, Tsing Hui's mind was blessed.
His Rank 2 sword path talent allowed him to purify his sword intent to the extreme.
The brilliant scorching sun, which was originally trying to resist the magma torrent, instantly turned into a flame spirit that directly merged with the magma torrent.
Even so, the torrential torrent swept over, causing the sea of flames formed by his sword intent to be like a lonely boat in the wind. It could be annihilated by the monstrous waves stirred up by the magma torrent at any time.
Fortunately, the sword intent that erupted from the stone pillar only existed for a short period of time. As the sword intent's explosion ended, the magma torrent in his mental world slowly dissipated, and the weak candlelight that was about to be extinguished finally tenaciously held on.
"Phew!"
Tsing Hui let out a long breath.
An unprecedented weakness welled up in his heart.
The extreme consumption of his blood essence, energy, and spirit made him want to lie on the ground motionlessly at this moment.
Sharpening the sword intent was to forge a new sword!
If using the Great One Sword's sword intent to sharpen his spirit was equivalent to using a whetstone to sharpen his sword intent, then the sword intent on the stone pillar at this moment was equivalent to using a giant hammer to refine his sword intent!
No!
It was not just a refine!
It was as if his sword intent had been thrown into a scalding iron furnace to be remolded!
If his sword intent could withstand the pain of being reforged, it would be molded more perfectly. If it could not …
Naturally, it could only turn into molten iron and dissipate.
Fortunately, he made it through.
Tsing Hui closed his eyes. If it were an ordinary person, the severe consumption of energy would be equivalent to a great loss of vitality, and it would take at least three to five days to recover.
However …
His Rank 2 recovery characteristic once again displayed its amazing effect at this moment.
He could even recover in a short period of time after releasing his own body, let alone a simple loss of energy!?
In less than four hours, Tsing Hui had recovered his vitality.
Then he immediately swallowed the elixir to replenish his energy and adjusted his energy, trying in vain to restore it to its peak.
The impact of the sword intent just now had made him understand that the mysterious force that Zhou Guiyi mentioned that could kill him was this sword intent.
This Sword Intent needed about 30 hours to brew to a peak, and then it would erupt involuntarily. Once it was attacked, the brewing Sword Intent would erupt ahead of time. Moreover, the Sword Intent that erupted due to an attack was more lethal than the Sword Intent that was accumulated once every 30 hours without an owner.
If it were not for the fact that the characteristics of this sword intent were vaguely similar to Tsing Hui's Eastern Sun Sword Intent, and if it were not for Tsing Hui's Rank 2 Sword Dao talent that allowed him to immediately discern the characteristics of this sword intent and hide his own sword intent in the attack of this sword intent so that the two could merge into one as much as possible, perhaps … his sword intent would have collapsed just now.
It should be known that apart from the fact that his sword intent was compatible with the sword intent that burst out from the stone pillar and his Rank 2 Sword Dao talent, his mental strength had already reached Rank 34, which was not inferior to a Qi Refinement expert at all. Yet, he was almost defeated by the first wave of sword intent. From this, it could be seen that if other Qi Refinement experts had stepped into this cave, they would have died no matter how many of them came.
It was no wonder that Myriad Swords Peak could rely on this ancestral land to destroy powerful enemies time and time again.
However …
Tsing Hui's eyes flashed faintly.
The sword intent that was brewing and erupting from the stone pillar might be dangerous for him, but …
It could also be an opportunity.
An opportunity that could transform his mind and ultimately awaken himself!
