The white-haired woman's flesh aura, spirit energy, and soul awareness were as dry as a dried-up well.
The aura of Sword Prison was cold and severe. Dense sword intent and sword light were being used to construct a wondrous formation.
This small mountain made of moon was like an enormous magnet that absorbed the remaining power of all the forbidden people inside it one by one.
The woman in front of him had almost all of her flesh aura, spirit energy, and soul power. She only had a small amount left to maintain her life force.
No matter how powerful she was in the Haoran realm or in the starry river, once she was pulled into Sword Prison, she would be reduced to her current state after a few decades.
Yu Yuan looked at her and knew that she was no longer a threat.
No matter how powerful a cultivator was, no matter how high their cultivation was, once they ran out of spirit energy, flesh aura, and soul power, they wouldn't be able to make any waves or exert any strength.
The sword case in front of the woman revealed a small section of a sword blade that was refined from white bone.
A faint aura of death flowed out of the sword.
After hearing Chen Qingyan's exclamation, she couldn't help but look Yu Yuan up and down. With a confused look on her face, she asked in a very low voice, "Young man, have you heard your sect's seniors mention me before?"
She had noticed Yu Yuan's body tremble slightly just now. However, she didn't see any obvious markings on Yu Yuan's body. She didn't see any signs of an old friend, so she couldn't make a judgment.
"I don't know you. I've only heard of senior's name."
Yu Yuan shook his head and looked at the sword case and the small section of the sword blade with complicated feelings. "I've heard of the Withered Sword before."
"The Withered Sword!" Chen Qingyan exclaimed.
She immediately understood why the woman in front of her had asked about her master.
"Greetings, senior aunt Xi."
Chen Qingyan and Yu Yuan clenched their fists with one hand and placed their free hand on their chest. They bowed respectfully and said, "My master is doing very well. She is already a great sword immortal at the late stage of the Freedom Realm. I often hear her mention you. In recent years, she's been trying to refine her Nascent Divinity and enter the ultimate realm! "
"She hasn't condensed her primordial spirit yet?" The corners of Xi's mouth curled into a mocking smile. "Back then, if the sect had chosen me to nurture me with all its heart instead of her, I would have already taken that step forward and become another Essence Soul realm sword immortal in the history of the Sword Sect."
Chen Qingyan hesitated for a moment before saying seriously, "With your talent and the speed of your Sword Dao, it's indeed possible. However, Martial Aunt's Withering Sword is harmful to the harmony of the heavens. Although her advancement is fast, there will be endless troubles in the future. "
"It's against the harmony of the heavens?" The woman surnamed Xi sneered, "I've been arranged by my sect to go beyond the heavens and feed my sword with heavenly demons and other races. How could I harm the peace of the heavens? As for future troubles … Who would care about that as a sword cultivator? "
Chen Qingyan was silent.
Because she didn't know much about the past, she didn't know what kind of mistake this more talented junior sister of hers had committed to be imprisoned in the Sword Prison by the sect.
The Sword Sect said to the outside world that she had been besieged by heavenly demons and other races in the outer realms and had long died.
Chen Qingyan didn't expect her to still be alive. Furthermore, she had been imprisoned by the Sword Sect and her own people. She didn't know when she had been imprisoned and how many years she had spent in the Sword Prison.
Yu Yuan took a deep breath and tugged at Chen Qingyan, saying, "Let's go."
When he saw Xi Quan in front of him and saw her condition, he was slightly relieved.
Xi Quan was that person's junior sister. He had long known that she had an extreme temperament.
Three hundred years ago, Xi Quan was a genius that the Sword Sect had nurtured wholeheartedly. Originally, her Sword Dao was very normal. Later on, for some reason, she suddenly comprehended the Withering Sword Art.
After that, Xi Quan's realm advanced by leaps and bounds. She participated in battles all over Haoran, giving the Tranquil Continent's Devil's Palace and Goblin Temple a headache.
The Sword Sect sensed that something was amiss. Not long after she condensed her Yang Soul, they arranged for her to go to the outer realms to temper herself.
Legend had it that she had made many achievements in the outer realms, causing the Heavenly Demons and other races in the outer realms to tremble in fear.
When Yu Yuan was seeking reincarnation, the last news he received was that she was about to go to the outer realms to seek a breakthrough in the Carefree Realm.
The Sword Sect even asked for medicine for her and specifically looked for him.
He didn't know what happened, but the Sword Sect's genius of the Sword Dao three hundred years ago had fallen to the point where she was imprisoned by the Sword Sect.
In his previous life, Yu Yuan and Xi Quan knew each other because of that person. They were quite familiar with each other and had even traveled together several times. Xi Quan had acted as his escort.
Xi Quan being imprisoned in the Sword Prison made him sigh. However, seeing that his old friend didn't die and had only lost all her power because of the Sword Prison, Yu Yuan also felt that it was okay.
He didn't enter the Sword Prison to reminisce about the past. Moreover, he didn't want to expose his identity. He was also worried that if he stayed too long, he would give himself away. Thus, he pulled Chen Qingyan deeper.
In the Sword Prison, there were stone paths that connected the caves, extending in all directions.
However, there were continuous sword intents that separated the different caves like a bead curtain.
Those who were imprisoned in different caves couldn't visit each other and couldn't pass through the sword intents bead curtain. They couldn't reach other caves.
The sword intents that prevented the prisoners from moving naturally didn't restrict Yu Yuan, who had the sword soul and the scabbard in his hand.
Under Xi Quan's gaze, he grabbed Chen Qingyan's jade-like hand and passed through the sword intents bead curtain with ease.
"Could he be that person's successor?"
When Yu Yuan and Chen Qingyan walked far away, Xi Quan frowned and muttered softly, "The scabbard is that person's. This kid still has the sword soul hidden in his body."
She squinted her eyes, her expression cold. "Unfortunately, that person's ending was worse than mine!"
"At least I'm still alive! As long as I'm alive, there's still hope and endless possibilities! "
She had sensed that the Sword Prison had been robbed from the Outer Sky Forbidden Land and suddenly fell into Haoran's homeland.
Although she didn't know who did it or what force did it, she believed that something must have happened in Haoran if even the Sword Prison had been lost.
The rulers of the Three Great Sects, the Devil's Palace and the Goblin Temple, must have lost control in some aspects.
"I really want to go out and see what the world is like now. As long as I can leave the Sword Prison, my withered sword can give me a new lease of life! "
There was no one in the other cave.
After Yu Yuan and Chen Qingyan stepped into the stone passageway, Yu Yuan took a look around and chose a stone passageway.
An old tortoise, completely black, was curled up in a corner of the cave, motionless.
The old tortoise took up half an acre of land, and its head seemed to be in its shell. When it saw Yu Yuan and Chen Qingyan suddenly intruding, it stuck its head out. Its eyes, which were as small as grains, were shining with dark yellow light, looked at the two of them.
When it saw the scabbard in Yu Yuan's hand, it trembled slightly and said in human language, "You're that guy's disciple?"
Yu Yuan sneered. "What did you do in the Goblin Temple to be imprisoned in the Outer Sky Sword Prison by the Goblin Temple?"
He couldn't tell the origin of the old tortoise in front of him. Because the demon race had a long lifespan, this old tortoise whose rank was unknown was very likely to have been in the Sword Prison three hundred years ago, or even earlier.
He had been brilliant in the world as "Honch", but it had only been a flash in the pan. He had never heard of the old tortoise's origin.
"I asked you first." The old tortoise snorted.
"Ignore him."
Yu Yuan laughed heartily as he grabbed Chen Qingyan and continued walking forward.
When he was in Sword Prison, he wanted to take a quick look around. He wanted to see who the prisoners were, what cultivation realms they were at, and if there was anyone he was familiar with.
"Hey, don't be in such a hurry to leave. Let's talk. I can tell you everything," the old tortoise roared weakly.
Yu Yuan ignored it and quickly left the cave with Chen Qingyan.
Yu Yuan walked through one cave after another. The demons, the rebels of the Sword Sect, the criminals of the Xuantianzong and the Primal Yang Sect, the people in the Devil's Palace who had suffered Qi deviation and lost their minds, the Juling School, Voodoo, and other people who had once been notorious in the Haoran.
The prisoners in the Sword Prison were all from the Haoran. There was not a single extraterrestrial devil or outsider.
Along the way, none of the prisoners could stop Yu Yuan for too long.
Until he met a prisoner of the Sect of the Blood God.
