In the Sword Tower of the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain, a group of secondary saints were verifying their sword techniques. The sword techniques that Chen Zong displayed made everyone admire him. His sword techniques were superb and he was also a secondary saint. He definitely wouldn't be weak. Therefore, other than the Wise Swordmaster, the other secondary saints all invited Chen Zong to form a team.
There was a particular way to form a team. It wasn't as simple as finding random people to form a team. There had to be a choice and choose the most suitable ones. Moreover, the more people in a team, the better.
It was true that the more people there were, the stronger the strength of the team, and the stronger the overall strength that could be unleashed. However, the human heart couldn't be controlled. Every one of them was a secondary saint and could be considered outstanding. They all had their own subjective consciousness and wouldn't easily listen to anyone's orders. If there wasn't a backbone, once they encountered an unexpected situation, it would be easy for conflicts to arise and they would become a pile of loose sand.
Therefore, forming a team with two or three or even three or four people was undoubtedly the most suitable. They could take care of all sides.
Chen Zong instantly became the target of many secondary saints' invitations. However, in the end, Chen Zong didn't form a team with any of the secondary saints. Instead, he formed a team with the Lightning Sword Sect's Lightning Sword Saint.
This scene caused everyone to feel surprised and puzzled.
Even if the Lightning Sword Saint thought highly of Chen Zong and wanted to guide Chen Zong, it shouldn't be in such a place, right?
Opportunities, opportunities. The opportunities in the unknown lands were quite useful even for sages. It was a rare opportunity to come here. How could they miss it?
A Sword Saint and a secondary saint — regardless of identity, status, or strength, they were all unequal. The places that a Sword Saint could go, a secondary saint couldn't because they couldn't withstand the level of danger.
Once they encountered a strong enemy, would the Lightning Sword Saint risk his life to protect Chen Zong?
Or would he use Chen Zong as a shield to fight for a chance of survival?
All in all, there were many guesses in an instant. Some guessed that the Lightning Sword Saint thought too highly of Chen Zong and wanted to guide him. Some thought that the Lightning Sword Saint had ulterior motives and wanted to make use of Chen Zong.
No matter what, Chen Zong formed a team with the Lightning Sword Saint and left quickly.
Only Chen Zong and the Lightning Sword Saint knew the inside story.
Sword Saint!
Although Chen Zong appeared to be a quasi-sage, he was actually a Sword Saint. At the very least, he possessed the strength of a Sword Saint. The Lightning Sword Saint believed that it would be very difficult for him to defeat Chen Zong by himself. As for how strong Chen Zong was, it was still unclear.
…
The shattered earth seemed to be filled with darkness. It was like an abyss, giving people an ominous feeling.
The Lightning Sword Sage casually chatted with Chen Zong about his experiences in swordsmanship. At the same time, his eyes shone brightly as he observed his surroundings.
The dark and broken sky gave off a feeling that it would collapse at any moment. When one looked at it, one would feel uneasy from the bottom of their hearts. It was as if there was some terrifying existence hidden behind the broken sky, such as a giant beast or an evil spirit. It made one not dare to look at it for too long. It was as if a great horror would appear if one looked at it for too long.
In the distance, there were broken walls, collapsed mountains, and dark shadows.
This unknown place that was jokingly called the Eternal Sword Ruins, just what kind of fortuitous encounters were there?
Could it be that they were here to search for treasures?
What was the fortuitous encounter that the Myriad Sword Forefather had obtained all those years ago?
Was it just the stone sword?
Not necessarily. The stone sword might have been incidental. The real fortuitous encounter should be the inheritance, a supreme inheritance. This inheritance was called the Myriad Sword Forefather's rise. He skyrocketed and established the Myriad Sword Mountain as a Holy Land. It had been passed down to this day and became the number one Holy Land in the Myriad Sword Ancient Realm. In the entire Ancient Profound World, it could be ranked in the top three or even second.
However, this place looked like a ruin. How could there be any fortuitous encounters?
Recalling the various information that the Sky-Reaching Sword Sage had given him, he had mentioned that every time he entered the unknown place, he would appear in a different place. However, it was indeed a ruin. It was jokingly called the Eternal Sword Ruins, and it was worthy of its name.
In other words, the fortuitous encounter was there. It was just that he had not found it yet.
As for how to find the fortuitous encounter, the Sky-Reaching Sword Sage had also provided the corresponding information. It was the Void Spirit. After killing the Void Spirit and finding the Space-time Fragment, one could obtain the fortuitous encounter from it. As for what kind of fortuitous encounter it was, it was not clear. There was no way to judge and it was random.
"Void Spirit and Space-time Fragment …" Chen Zong muttered to himself as he responded to the Lightning Sword Sage.
Unknowingly, the two of them had walked a very long distance, but they did not obtain anything. Many of the things here were broken and had lost their power of the past. However, the weapons left here were all in the shape of swords and looked like ruins. This was the origin of the name Mausoleum of Swords.
There was no concept of time in the Eternal Sword Ruins. It was very strange.
A figure had appeared in front of them without them noticing. It moved slowly, as if it was pacing back and forth.
Chen Zong and the Lightning Sword Sage's eyes suddenly focused as they saw the black figure clearly.
"Void Spirit!" The Lightning Sword Sage could not help but show a touch of joy. According to the information that the Sky-Reaching Sword Sage had said, one of the dangers of the unknown place was the Void Spirit. It was a kind of spirit that wandered in the unknown place. It was very dangerous. The weak ones had the strength of a Quasi-saint, while the strong ones had the strength of a Saint-level.
Even more powerful ones had the strength of a Great Saint.
Although the Void Spirit was very dangerous, it was also one of the opportunities. After killing the Void Spirit, one could obtain a wisp of power, which was called Void Force by the people of the Ten-thousand Swords Mountain. Its full name was the power of the Void Spirit.
The main source of opportunities in the unknown place was the Space-time Fragment. However, even if one found a Space-time Fragment, one would need the power of the Void Spirit to stimulate its power. Only with enough power of the Void Spirit could the power of the Space-time Fragment be stimulated and then obtain opportunities from it.
Different Space-time Fragments required different amounts of power of the Void Spirit to be stimulated.
Chen Zong and the Lightning Sword Sage did not move, but the Lightning Sword Sage had already made the first move. He unsheathed his long sword, and the sword light turned into a blazing thunderbolt in an instant. It shattered the vacuum and directly attacked the black figure thousands of meters away.
The thunderbolt sword light was so fast that it arrived in a flash. The Void Spirit, which had been moving slowly and erratically, seemed to be stimulated by something. It suddenly burst out and sped up, turning into a black light to avoid the thunderbolt strike. Then it let out a terrible roar that sounded like a beast's roar or a ghost's howl. In an instant, it had crossed thousands of meters and pounced on the Lightning Sword Sage.
Chen Zong finally saw the appearance of the Void Spirit clearly. It stood upright like a human, but its whole body was black, as if it was condensed by countless black smoke. Its arms were very long, longer than its knees, and there were not only one but two joints, which made its arms look like three-section whips. It was very flexible, and the tips of its five fingers were extremely sharp, like the claws of demons.
However, its lower body did not have two legs, but four legs. Four legs that appeared to be very thick and strong. When the four legs moved, the speed of its running was extremely fast and shocking to the extreme, as if it was a spark of flint.
In an instant, the Void Spirit turned into a streak of extremely ferocious black light. It seemed to carry an incomparably terrifying power. It gathered all of its power into its arms and pounced on the Thunder Sword Saint, intending to tear him apart.
The Lightning Sword Sage growled and waved his sword again. The sword light was like a thunderbolt explosion, containing a terrible power. It was his Thunderbolt Swordsmanship. After verifying it with Chen Zong and comprehending it for a while, he had improved a lot of its mysteries and power.
The sword broke through the air at an extremely fast speed and directly hit the Void Spirit that was pouncing on him. However, the Void Spirit was extremely flexible. Even though it was pouncing on him at an extremely fast speed, it still managed to dodge the Lightning Sword Sage's powerful sword strike. However, when it dodged the Lightning Sword Sage's attack, it happened to collide with Chen Zong's sword strike.
The Single Hearted Swordsmanship … Sword One!
This strike contained the mysteries of many sword arts. Even though it had yet to be completely fused into one, it was already very wondrous. When the strike was unleashed, it was shockingly much faster than the Lightning Sword Saint's Lightning Burst Sword Technique. The sound it made was extremely subtle, and its aura was restrained, making it even harder for others to detect.
The Void Spirit was directly hit by the sword, and its body was penetrated. It let out an extremely shrill howl, as if it was suffering great pain. The howl was so sharp that it seemed to be piercing the eardrums and tearing the vacuum. Chen Zong and the Lightning Sword Sage frowned unconsciously. It was not a good feeling.
However, this sword strike did not kill the Void Spirit, but only made its body fade a little.
The Lightning Sword Sage seized the opportunity and struck the Void Spirit's body with his sword. A part of its power was immediately consumed, and the Void Spirit's body became even fainter.
The two of them joined forces. At this time, they didn't care about anything. First, they would kill the Void Spirit and obtain its power. They came here to seek opportunities, and it was uncertain how long they could stay here. Perhaps, they would have to leave soon. Therefore, they should use all their abilities and means to seek opportunities instead of using the dignity and reserve of experts.
The Void Spirit was indeed difficult to deal with. Its true strength might be stronger than that of a Quasi-sage, but it was not as strong as a Pristine Saint. The key was that it was difficult to kill.
Every sword strike only consumed a part of its power and made its body fade. However, Chen Zong and the Lightning Sword Sage were both keenly aware that when the Void Spirit was hit and its body faded, the surrounding Void Qi also rushed into its body to replenish its power.
In this way, the difficulty of killing the Void Spirit was further increased.
Chen Zong and the Lightning Sword Sage finally understood why the Sky-Reaching Sword Sage said that the Void Spirit in the Unknown Place was very dangerous.
For a Quasi-sage, it was very difficult to contend with such a level of power unless several Quasi-sages joined forces and went through a fierce battle to slowly wear it to death.
Now, Chen Zong and the Lightning Sword Sage joined forces. Although they did not use their full strength and only attacked with swordsmanship, they still failed to kill it immediately, which showed how difficult it was to deal with.
Why didn't they use their full strength to kill it?
Because they had just encountered a Void Spirit, they had to spend some time to understand it first and truly experience the characteristics of the Void Spirit. Only then could they better target and kill it and save time later.
After all, the Void Spirit they encountered should be a Quasi-sage Void Spirit. If they encountered a Pristine Saint Realm Void Spirit, wouldn't it be even more difficult to kill it?
As for a Great Saint Realm Void Spirit, once they encountered one, they should run as far and as fast as they could. In short, they should stay as far away as possible. Otherwise, they would be killed.
