Chapter 55

Zhong Yue's heart thumped, he immediately knew where this feeling came from, It's the aura of the Devil Soul Yin Miasma! The black rays in this valley are the same as the Devil Soul Yin Miasma!

Ordinary people would need to rest for half a year to recover from their injuries, but Zhong Yue's physique was much stronger than that of the ordinary people. Furthermore, he had the best healing herbs from Swords Gate, which was why he was able to recover so quickly.

"These seals were not set up by the Qi Practitioners of Swords Gate?" Zhong Yue's heart that had just calmed down was shocked again, he quickly asked.

The two of them hopped onto the back of the crocodile, Senior Martial Brother Gu smiled and said, "Crocodragon, please bring us up the mountain."

Zhong Yue's heart thumped, he looked around and asked, "Where are the ten malefic weapons?"

"This aura, it's very familiar …."

"Junior Martial Brother Zhong, this cliff is the boundary between the inner hall and the outer hall, those who can cross this cliff will be considered as inner hall disciples."

He walked forward and saw a shrine with over sixty Sword Cocoons floating above it. His heart couldn't help but tremble, "Sword Cocoons!"

"If you think that the soul weapons in front are stronger than the Sword Cocoons, then you are wrong."

The crocodile was like a floating island in the air, Zhong Yue looked at it and saw that it had four eyes and many pairs of wings on its back, it was very strange.

Zhong Yue saw another shrine on the other side, on it was a sword scabbard that was as tall as a human, there was blood flowing out from the bottom of the sword scabbard, it was a very strange sight.

The elder wants to see me?

Zhong Yue was shocked, he could feel the demonic aura coming from the Blood Ray Sword, it was as if there was a demon living in the sword, summoning people to refine it, summoning people to kill for it!

Senior Martial Brother Gu said, "The Crocodragon is the guardian of this cliff, don't underestimate it just because it is a monster, the Crocodragon is already a few hundred years old, it is a monster that lives in the Lei Hu Clan, it was brought to Swords Gate by the Lei Hu Clan Qi Practitioners to guard this cliff. Junior martial brother, in front of us is the Valley of Swords, the elders are waiting for you in the Heart of Swords Palace. "

Zhong Yue was startled, he smiled and said, "Senior martial uncle …."

Senior Martial Brother Gu laughed and said, "Junior martial brother, the bottom of the cliff is the forbidden ground of Swords Gate. There is a strange power above the cliff that can erase all kinds of skills. In here, no visualization skills can be used. If you want to enter the inner hall, the only way is through the Croc Dragon."

An ordinary disciple who spent five to six years in the outer hall before entering the upper house had grown to the point where he had obtained the first place in the upper house in just a few months. This kind of speed of cultivation was so fast that it aroused the suspicion of the Swords Gate elders.

"The Demon Box, the tenth of the Sword of the Ten Malefic Weapons.

The crocodile said, "To be able to get first place out of thousands of people, he's also a talent. Zhong Shan Clan member, if you are successful in the future, don't forget to take care of Croc Dragon.

Xin Huo shook his head and said, "The totem carvings below are the seals of the gods. The gods have turned their essences and images into the totem carvings, only then can they suppress the things underground. The Qi Practitioners of Swords Gate would not be able to do it. Xin Huo shook his head and said, "The Devil Soul Yin Miasma broke out because of a flaw in the seal. Fortunately, the flaw is not in Swords Gate, or else, Swords Gate would be in big trouble."

Another four to five days passed, Zhong Yue got up from the bed and walked around. He felt that his ribs had healed and the scars on his ribs started to fall off, leaving behind only a scar. But when he breathed, it still hurt.

The Senior Martial Brother Gu led him out of the upper hall and walked towards the inner hall of Swords Gate. He smiled and said, "This medicine is called Yuling Paste, it is made by the Qi Practitioners by gathering all kinds of spirit herbs. You can exchange for it with your merits. Junior martial brother, you can exchange for it in the outer hall or the inner hall. If it is an ordinary sword wound, even if the muscles and tendons are severed, it will only take half a day to heal. But if it is a big wound, like junior martial brother's, it will heal in about ten days. Junior martial brother's physique is much stronger than the others, that is why you can heal so quickly. "

"Crocodragon?"

"Tian Feng Clan's Hunchback Tian's soul weapon, 130 soul weapons, Soul Devouring Swords, thin as cicada's wings, soul weapons devour souls, ominous, devouring eight masters."

"Sword Cocoon, eighth of the Ten Malefic Weapons. Shui Tu Clan's Shui Zi-An soul weapon, 64 soul weapons, drank too much blood and showed signs of devouring their masters, hence sealed. "

"Ten Malefic Weapons?"

Zhong Yue stretched his body, the Qi Practitioner outside the door saw him and walked in, he smiled and said, "Junior martial brother, your wounds have healed? Junior martial brother is indeed a physique cultivator, your body is strong and sturdy, healing faster than the others. If it was me, I would have to lie on the ground for a few days to fully recover. "

"What is under the cliff?"

"Blood Ray Sword, ninth of the Ten Malefic Weapons, soul weapon of Lei Fang of Lei Hu Clan, drank too much blood, the sword has a spirit of its own, it is ominous to devour its masters. So far, there have been ten sword owners who have been devoured by it."

The white-haired old man was the grand elder of the You Yu Clan, he raised his hand and said, "Get up. The sword silk of the Sword Cocoon is so strong, that is why I wanted to meet you here, to see how a disciple who has yet to become a Qi Practitioner can escape from the attack of the Sword Cocoon, and even almost behead his opponent! "

Senior Martial Brother Gu nodded, "I heard that the junior martial sister of the Shui Tu Clan has a fast recovery speed, she should have recovered by now. This time, the grand elder summoned you and also summoned her."

"Junior martial brother?"

"Sealed in the Heart of Sword Palace, the inner hall disciples can't even enter the Valley of Swords, let alone see the Ten Malefic Weapons in the Heart of Sword Palace. This time, junior martial brother was summoned by the grand elder to the Heart of Sword Palace, I wonder how many people are envious of you. "

Zhong Yue suppressed the throbbing in his heart, Xin Huo who was lying lazily in his psyche ocean immediately perked up, he looked at the bottom of the cliff through Zhong Yue's eyes and praised, Those devil souls are really sealed here. Heehee, it really is the seal of the gods, the Swords Gate is built on top of a huge volcano that could erupt at any time, just a little bit of carelessness and you will be blasted into ashes ….

The Qi Practitioner quickly said, "Junior martial brother, you can just call me Senior Martial Brother Gu, you can never call me junior martial uncle. Now that junior martial brother has won the first place in the Lawless Battles, you are destined to become a Qi Practitioner, in terms of seniority, the upper house disciples will have to call you junior martial uncle. However, before entering the Ethereal Hall, the elders would like to see you. Junior martial brother, please follow me. "

Senior Martial Brother Gu said emotionally, "The Ten Malefic Weapons are also sealed here, we inner hall disciples are not allowed to enter the Valley of Swords normally, it was only because the elders wanted to see Junior Martial Brother Zhong here that I was able to enter."

"Next time, when you go out for training, you must prepare more of these medicines."

Zhong Yue said indifferently, "Her strength is not any weaker than mine, I think she has already recovered enough."

Zhong Yue nodded.

The doors of the Heart of Swords Palace creaked open, it was as if there were countless Sword Qi gushing out from the palace, causing the two people outside to shiver uncontrollably, they felt as if their souls were being stabbed.

Senior Martial Brother Gu led him to the Heart of Swords Palace, he bowed and said, "Elder Yu, Zhong Yue of the Zhong Shan Clan is here."

The giant crocodile nodded, it flapped its wings and flew towards the opposite Swords Gate, it said in a muffled voice, "Little Brother Gu, this little brother looks unfamiliar, is he a new Qi Practitioner?"

"Senior Martial Brother Gu, can I exchange for the medicines I used this time with my merits?" Zhong Yue asked.

"Just the Qi Practitioners of the Swords Gate alone are not enough to suppress the devil souls in the underground."

An old man with white hair walked out of nowhere and walked to Zhong Yue's side, he said placidly, "The Sword Cocoon's sword silk is ranked eighth not because it is not as strong as the other seven soul weapons, but on the contrary, it is very strong, even stronger than some of the soul weapons in front of it. It is just that the Sword Cocoon has not fully formed its own spirit yet, hence, its reputation is not as good."

"I see."

Zhong Yue's heart thumped, this time, the elder summoned him and 'Shui Qingyan', could it be that he was also suspicious of 'Shui Qingyan'?

The giant crocodile shook its head and tail, it flapped its wings and brought the two of them to the other side of the river. As soon as the two of them reached the shore, the giant crocodile swam back into the clouds and disappeared.

Visualization was not allowed here, but the giant crocodile's wings were not visualized, they were real feathers made from flesh and blood, they could fly, hence, it was not afraid of the suppression here.

Zhong Yue walked into the Valley of Swords, the sound of swords humming could be heard, and from time to time, there would be sword rays flashing across the Valley of Swords. Vaguely, one could see that the sword rays were all kinds of soul weapons, clashing with each other in mid-air, flashing and disappearing, sometimes the sword rays would turn into other forms, there were fishes, birds and beasts, it was extremely strange.

"Zhong Yue of the Zhong Shan Clan greets the grand elder." Zhong Yue bowed and greeted in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.

At the moment when the black rays were suppressed, he could vaguely see pieces of flesh wriggling on the cliff, there was only flesh and blood, there was no skin, the flesh and blood seemed to be growing from the bottom of the cliff, as if it was trying to grow to the top of the cliff and climb out of the cliff.

"Let him in." An old and hoarse voice came from inside.

Zhong Yue saw this and his heart skipped a beat, This soul weapon also eats its master?

Zhong Yue was puzzled, there were two Swords Gates on the two sides of the cliff, the clouds lingering between the two cliffs. Senior Martial Brother Gu brought him to one of the Swords Gates and knocked on the copper gong hanging on the bottom of the Swords Gate. Moments later, the clouds billowed and a giant crocodile swam out from the clouds. The crocodile actually had wings, it floated in the clouds and flew towards Zhong Yue upon hearing the gong.

Zhong Yue thanked him and strode into the Heart of Swords Palace.

"The Valley of Swords is the place where the elders seal their soul weapons, the soul weapons here were left behind by the elders of Swords Gate. Some of the elders have passed away thousands of years ago, but the soul weapons are still alive in this valley."

Senior Martial Brother Gu whispered, "Junior Martial Brother Zhong, Elder Yu is the grand elder of Swords Gate, after you enter, please be courteous. I, your senior martial brother, will not accompany you in. "

Not long later, they walked to the side of a cliff, Zhong Yue looked over, the cliff was a few miles wide, the valley was deep and dark, and there seemed to be a strange demonic aura brewing in the valley. Zhong Yue lowered his head and looked over, and suddenly, he felt dizzy, as if his soul was about to be sucked into the black light!

Senior Martial Brother Gu smiled and said, "This is Junior Martial Brother Zhong of the Zhong Shan Clan, the champion of the Lawless Battles."

The black rays continued to surge, and every time they were about to burst out, totem carvings would appear on the walls of the cliffs. These totem carvings were incredibly complicated, grand and majestic, and they caused a wave of eerie yet terrifying shockwaves to appear in the air, forcefully suppressing the black rays.

Just as he walked into the empty hall, he saw a fifteen-zhang-tall, eighty-zhang-wide shrine erected at the side. A soul weapon was enshrined on top of the shrine. That soul weapon was several zhang-long, and it was stabbed into the shrine at an angle. It looked like a sword, but also like a huge saw. Both sides of the sword were sawteeth, and the blade of the sword was dark red with bloodstains.

Zhong Yue took in a deep breath, he mumbled softly, "Such a ferocious soul weapon, but it is only ranked eighth in the Ten Malefic Weapons, wouldn't the soul weapons in front of it be even stronger?"

Zhong Yue's heart thumped, he stood up and followed behind Senior Martial Brother Gu, he knew that his prowess during the Lawless Battles with Tian Myriad Mother had aroused the suspicions of the Swords Gate elders.
