After leaving Tianguang Peak, Chen Zong's expression was solemn and full of worries.
He didn't expect that the Lanhai Clan had secretly sided with the Purgatory Demon Sect instead of simply colluding with them.
If that was the case, then last time in the Anarchic Territory, when he was ambushed, it was indeed the Blue Ocean Clan who secretly attacked him. Even when he went to the Anarchic Territory to carry out a mission, it was also the Blue Ocean Clan who revealed it to the bandits in the Anarchic Territory and even the Purgatory Demon Gate.
However, they didn't expect Chen Zong to be so strong that they had no choice but to use their final trump card. Because of this, they were targeted by the First Elder and investigated in secret.
After a long time, the Lanhai Clan was more or less aware of the First Elder's secret investigation. This also led to the Lanhai Clan's real betrayal.
In other words, it accelerated the process of the Lanhai Clan's betrayal.
With the cooperation of the Purgatory Demon Sect from the outside, the sudden outbreak caused a great loss to Taihao Mountain. Fortunately, Taihao Mountain was strong enough, and the First Elder also made some unintentional arrangements. Moreover, the Lanhai Clan's betrayal sped up, which meant that many of their arrangements were not enough. The damage caused by a hasty betrayal was limited.
If they were allowed to complete their arrangements and then betrayed, the loss to Taihao Mountain would be five or even ten times more than now. That would be terrible.
His heart was heavy, but Chen Zong also felt helpless, a deep sense of powerlessness.
"The Lanhai Clan …" A deep murderous intent gathered in Chen Zong's eyes.
Ever since Ye Xiwen entered Taihao Mountain, the Lanhai Clan had been standing against him. Of course, the conflict at the beginning was just a small conflict, which was nothing. However, it continued to escalate, and now, it could be considered as an irreconcilable grudge.
Now, the Lanhai Clan had betrayed Taihao Mountain. This was good. When the time came, he could deal with them without any worries.
Traitors!
They should all be killed.
After returning to Taihao Peak, Chen Zong went directly to the Senior Statesman Hall to prepare to step down as the Sword Saint.
Speaking of which, he had only been the Sword Saint for a short time. It might be the shortest time in history.
As for the rest of the arrangements after he stepped down as the Sword Dao Saint, the Senior Statesman Hall would take care of it.
Inside the Senior Statesman Hall, the senior statesmen were all stunned when they learned of Chen Zong's intentions.
Resign as the Sword Dao Holy Son?
That's right, Chen Zong had broken through to Level Six.
According to the rules of Taihao Mountain, once the Sword Way Saint broke through from the fifth to the sixth level, he would have to step down from his position and choose a new Sword Way Saint.
Chen Zong was now in the Sixth Realm. There was nothing wrong with him stepping down as the Sword Saint.
However, it hadn't been long since Chen Zong became the Holy Son of the Way of the Sword. It seemed to be a very short period of time for him to step down.
In the end, the First Elder made a decision. Chen Zong would temporarily serve as the Holy Son of the Sword Doctrine. He would officially step down after a new Holy Son of the Sword Doctrine was selected. At that time, there would also be new arrangements for Chen Zong.
After accepting the arrangements of the Grand Elder Hall, Chen Zong returned to the Unparalleled Sword Palace.
There was still no news about Yu Nianxin, even though he had asked the people in Taihao Mountain who were in charge of collecting information to pay attention to her.
Immediately, Chen Zong remembered what he wanted to know at that time. It was about Sword Sharpening Mountain.
In the past, due to the limitations of his identity, the number of books he could access was limited. But now, he was the Sacred Son of the Sword Way. In Taihao Mountain, he belonged to the true core of power and had the right to know more secrets.
Chen Zong immediately looked it up. It was related to Sword Sharpening Mountain.
Everything.
Back then, Sword Sharpening Mountain was destroyed overnight. Many Holy Lands had searched for many years, but they couldn't find the real reason.
Chen Zong kept flipping through the ancient books, but what he found was very limited.
Not long after, Chen Zong found a book that looked a little shabby. It didn't have a name. Out of curiosity, he opened it. After just a few glances, Chen Zong was attracted.
Was it Sword Sharpening Mountain?
Or Demon Sword Mountain?
This was one of the contents that Chen Zong read.
Sharpening and demon had the same pronunciation, but different words had different meanings.
He kept reading. There wasn't much information recorded in the old book, and most of it was speculation. There wasn't enough reliable evidence to make a conclusion, but Chen Zong felt that it might have something to do with the destruction of Sword Sharpening Mountain. In other words, the reason for Sword Sharpening Mountain's destruction might be in these speculations.
Why did he think so?
It was because all the speculations in the book, combined with the fourth level of the Fiendgod Sword Codex, made Chen Zong come to such a conclusion.
The Fiendgod Sword Codex was the supreme inheritance of Sword Sharpening Mountain. It was a terrifying inheritance that was divided into four levels. Now that Chen Zong had mastered the third level, he deeply understood its amazing power. It was not inferior to those with innate divine bodies at all.
What if he mastered the fourth level?
How powerful would he be?
However, Chen Zong found that it was almost impossible to master the fourth level.
This was because the cultivation of the first three levels required various treasures and materials, but the fourth level was different.
Originally, Chen Zong thought that the cultivation of the third level required the use of Innate Saint Essence, a treasure that even Martial Saints coveted. What about the fourth level?
What materials?
He didn't expect that in order to master the fourth level, he would need the core or origin of a Fiendgod.
A Fiendgod!
What kind of existence was that?
An existence more powerful than a Martial Saint expert?
Or was it the so-called gods like the Eagle God and the Skyblade Fighting God that he had met before?
Of course, Chen Zong didn't know how powerful the Eagle God and the Skyblade Fighting God were. Were they at the Martial Saint level or beyond?
Assuming that the so-called Fiendgods in the Fiendgod Sword Codex were at the Martial Saint level, Chen Zong couldn't covet them.
How powerful was a Saint-level powerhouse? A single breath from them would be enough to annihilate him.
Assuming that a Fiendgod was more powerful than a Martial Saint, there was no need to think too much.
The core of a Fiendgod or the origin of a Fiendgod was called by different names, but they were essentially the same thing. To a Fiendgod, it must be extremely important. It was the core of their power and was the key to their lives.
How could he take it?
Kill the Fiendgod first?
And then take away their cores or Origins?
If he had that kind of power, would he still need to master the fourth level of the Fiendgod Sword Codex?
This became an endless cycle.
Chen Zong even guessed that the Sword Grinding Mountain Master wanted to kill a Fiendgod and cultivated the fourth level of the Fiendgod Sword Codex. In the end, he failed and suffered a backlash, which eventually led to the destruction of the Sword Grinding Mountain.
Chen Zong wasn't sure if that was the case, but he felt that it was possible.
Then, how could he cultivate it?
There didn't seem to be any hope, unless he had some kind of heaven-defying opportunity to obtain the origin of a Fiendgod. However, this was just a thought.
Well, he couldn't have extravagant hopes.
Fortunately, his strength didn't completely rely on the Fiendgod Sword Codex. Even if he lost the power of the Fiendgod Sword Codex, his strength was actually not weak. Among those at the same level, he was still among the strongest.
Without thinking too much, Chen Zong put the old book back and returned to the Unparalleled Sword Palace.
The ancient sword technique was exquisite and boundless. It was worth a lot of time and energy for him to comprehend it.
The other thing was the Heavenly Will Sword.
The tip of the Heavenly Will Sword had been cut off and damaged. Although it had been reconnected, Chen Zong knew that the Heavenly Will Sword was still in a damaged state and had yet to fully recover.
Therefore, the current power of the Heavenly Will Sword was only slightly better than most Origin Source Weapons.
The Origin Divine Weapons were also divided into four categories: low-grade, mid-grade, high-grade, and top-grade.
Generally speaking, emperor-level experts used low-level Origin Source Weapons. A few of them wielded mid-level Origin Source Weapons. As for high-level and top Origin Source Weapons, they required emperor-level experts to wield them.
The Heavenly Will Sword was stronger than a mid-level Origin Source Weapon, but not as strong as a high-level one.
If it was repaired, who knew what level it would reach?
Would it reach the Saint-level?
There was no need to think so much now. The most important thing now was to improve himself.
It hadn't been long since he broke through to the sixth level. Now that his potential was active and there was a chance to improve, he had to seize this opportunity to improve himself.
Five Great Dao Origins!
A few Origin Source Sword Techniques!
And a bunch of Divine Arts.
As time passed, Taihao Mountain also recovered. However, they didn't give up on their operations against the Lanhai clan and the Inferno Demon Sect. However, the Lanhai clan went into hiding and kept a very low profile. Taihao Mountain couldn't do anything about it for the time being.
Today was Chen Zong's third year in seclusion. In these three years, Chen Zong had gained a lot.
Chen Zong, who had just practiced a few rounds of ancient sword techniques, was about to come out of seclusion when he found that everything in front of him had changed again.
It was a deep and quiet valley. At first glance, there seemed to be the sweet chirping of birds, but when you listened carefully, there was no sound at all.
In an instant, a ray of light bloomed in the sky. At first, it was faint like the wind and the sun, but it quickly changed and became blazing hot. It was like a huge burning fireball, releasing a domineering and blazing power that seemed to be able to melt everything. Under this terrifying blazing divine power, Chen Zong felt like his body was about to be roasted dry.
The vegetation around him was on fire, burning endlessly. The river not far away was also constantly evaporating, turning into clouds of white steam that rose into the sky. The ground under his feet also quickly became dry.
In just a few short breaths, the originally lush valley became like a desert, with no signs of life.
Chen Zong felt his mouth and tongue dry. All the water in his body seemed to have been roasted dry, and his blood seemed to have been roasted to the point of burning.
Hot!
Indescribable and indescribable heat, burning. Chen Zong felt like he was about to combust.
His body was burning, and his spirit was burning. Everything, whether tangible or intangible, was about to burn. It was irresistible.
This change was too sudden. Chen Zong was shocked, but he reacted immediately.
A powerful force burst out and spread to every part of his body. Under the guidance of the Wholehearted Intention Realm, it circulated endlessly, forming a cycle of its own. It repelled the terrifying blazing heat bit by bit, unable to really invade his body and affect him, just like how he resisted the Endless Demon Domain.
