'Xin Country … Could it be the Xin Country from Earth?'
Xin Country was the homeland that Fang Xingjian had come from when he was on Earth.
'But does Xin Country have an organization called the Titular Authority?
'Moreover, this is something from the Ancient Era … Why would it be recorded in Xin Country's language?'
Looking at the red metal board before him, Fang Xingjian's mind instantly became a little chaotic. He could no longer hear the discussions around him, and he continued to read the content.
The words on the metal board were very messy and messy. It was obvious that the person who had written it seemed to be very anxious and nervous, as if he had written it in agitation.
"Those who see this piece of dragon's scale, remember, do not borrow the powers of demonic gods. Do not borrow the powers of demonic gods. Only the demonic gods themselves can defeat demonic gods. Remember! Do not let them enter our world! Remember the following sword technique. This will be … the key! "
However, the first few words had been crossed out, making it impossible for others to read the content.
It was just a few simple sentences at the beginning. After that, it was a set of sword technique.
Fang Xingjian did not look at the sword technique. Instead, he kept on reading the first few sentences.
'Demonic gods … What is the relationship between them and the evil gods?' He suddenly thought of the words his mother had told him through the Second Prince. 'Never use magic prints, never borrow the powers of the evil gods … What is the relationship between the two?'
Although he could understand the words on the board, the information contained within it was even more thought-provoking. It was as if one puzzle had turned into even more puzzles.
Sighing, Fang Xingjian knew that with the clues he had now, it was impossible for him to understand the cause and effect. He could only lower his head and continue reading the content of the sword technique.
The name of this martial technique was the Heaven's Volition Sword Technique. However, although it was called a sword technique, it was more like a sword intent. There were no specific sword moves, but a sword intent that nurtured the survival of the fittest.
This metal board was known as the Dragon's Scale.
The introduction to the sword technique did not talk about how to nurture this sword intent. Instead, it talked about how to unlock the encrypted Waves on the 'dragon's scale' so that one could absorb the Heaven's Volition Sword Intent from the dragon's scale. There was only one Heaven's Volition Sword Intent, and it could only be cultivated by one person.
Right now, Fang Xingjian had the Zenith Light Sword Formation for long-range attacks, Ether Sword Ripples for close combat, Terra Ingurgitation for strength, Boundaries Negation for speed, and even the Prodigious Demolition Sword which he had yet to master. In terms of battle prowess, he did not lack sword techniques that he had cultivated.
However, the sword art hidden in the 'dragon scale' before him seemed to be hiding a great secret. It piqued his interest and made him want to learn it very much.
However, he was not the only one who was interested in this ancient artifact. Just as Fang Xingjian was reading the dragon's scale, Sasa, who came from the Eastern Sand Region and was known as a Sword Saint, was also talking to Head of Department James.
Sasa's gaze was burning as he looked at the dragon's scale. The reason he was interested in this was because he had read about it before.
The Eastern Sand Region was located in the extreme east of the Empire and was adjacent to the Sand Country in the east. It was constantly harassed by the Sand Country and could be said to be a region of war. There would be endless conflicts of various sizes almost every year, and the Knights here would naturally not miss out on battles as well.
As a level 29 Conferred Knight, Sasa was often at the frontlines. He would either restrain the experts from the other party or attack some geniuses from the Sand Country.
During one of the attacks, he had unintentionally obtained a secret manual from the Sand Country. He was not interested in the martial techniques recorded in the manual, but in the notes at the back of the manual, there was a record of something known as the dragon's scale.
This was how the author of the secret manual described the dragon's scale.
"In ancient times, huge dragons soared and a dragon king soared into the sky, attempting to engulf the sun and become a god. "In order to protect the world, the king of gods killed the huge dragons and then used the dragon king's scale armor to record the martial intent. "The dragon's scale is divided into many pieces, and the martial intent recorded a secret regarding invincibility in the world. "It's said that the first founder of the Sand Country, the Heavenly Monarch of the Blood Sea, managed to attain a breakthrough to the Divine level and achieve great things because he had obtained a piece of the dragon's scale."
He had originally treated the content as a myth from the Sand Country and the fantasies of an unsatisfied cultivator. However, the metal plate before him was exactly the same as the dragon's scale in the description.
"Its color is like blood, alternating between cold and hot. The divine runes were carved on it to retain its meaning," Sasa said to James.
"Head of Department, this thing should be a sword technique that was recorded on paper by an expert from the Ancient Era who killed ferocious beasts and used their scale armor as a piece of paper. "I've analyzed a similar historical site in the Eastern Sand Region before. Let me analyze this as well."
As he spoke, he gently stroked the dragon's scale with one hand, scanning its structure with his Heaven's Perception like an electronic scanner. When he saw many existences that resembled bone cells, his gaze became even more certain.
"Dragon's scale. It's really a dragon's scale. To think that this thing really exists. I've always thought that those barbarians from the Sand Country had made it up.
"The heavens are really on my side. With this, I'll have a greater chance of attaining the Divine level."
Hearing Sasa's request, Head of Department James did not have any objections. It was impossible for him to ignore the request of a level 29 expert. Moreover, in terms of cultivation, Sasa had a higher chance of being able to research the profoundness of the Ancient Era's relics compared to Fang Xingjian.
Therefore, James only gave it some thought before nodding. He looked at Fang Xingjian and said, "Xingjian, you can let Sasa take over this project." He then smiled, "You can also work together with Sasa and gain some experience."
To be honest, James's words and actions were all out of good intentions.
He was too old and did not have many years left to live. Sasa, on the other hand, was a famous sword in the southeast and had the title of Sword Saint. Not only was he a level 29 Conferred Knight, but he was also a top-notch existence amongst level 29 Conferred Knights.
Among level 29 experts, there would naturally be differences in strength. Different specialties, the number of synthesized skills, the types of jobs, and their attributes would all allow for a great disparity between experts who were also level 29.
People like the First Prince, who was about to step into the Divine level, were naturally the strongest. All the level 29 experts who were striving for the Divine level were in the first echelon.
The Second Prince and the Governors from the other eight regions, who were talented and had a tremendous amount of resources but had yet to find a way to attain the Divine level, were slightly weaker and belonged to the second echelon.
Below them were the various veteran level 29 experts. They belonged to the third echelon.
Below them were the young level 29 Conferred Knights from the Regional Academies. They belonged to the fourth echelon.
Sasa was a top-notch character amongst the veteran level 29 experts. He was the standard third echelon and could enter the second echelon at any time. He had the chance to be on par with experts at the Governor's level.
More importantly, James was already old while Sasa was still young. James was now introducing Fang Xingjian to Sasa because he wanted the two of them to get on good terms. Fang Xingjian would be able to receive support and care.
However, what James did not know was that Fang Xingjian was also very interested in the dragon's scale.
However, Fang Xingjian had the confidence that he would be able to absorb the sword intent from it before James revealed the results. Therefore, he did not object to James's suggestion.
