The Legendary Ancient Sword
"The Million Sword Scroll?"
Sensing the Sword Qi on the scroll, Chu Xingyun's expression changed slightly, and his tone carried a hint of surprise.
The region where the Driftcloud Empire was located belonged to the 10,000 Swords pavilion. Whenever the 10,000 Swords pavilion had something important to announce, they would send out the 10,000 Swords Invitation. Seeing the 10,000 Swords Invitation was like seeing the 10,000 Swords pavilion, and no one could go against it.
"Yes, this is the Million Sword Scroll." Tang Yue's eyes lit up as he looked up at Chu Xingyun. "Since you know about the Million Sword Scroll, you must know about the Sword-cleansing Pool."
Chu Xingyun nodded and said slowly, "The Sword-cleansing Pool is the training ground of the Wanjian Pavilion. Whenever the Wanjian Pavilion accepts disciples, the Sword-cleansing Pool will open. Only those who pass through the pool can become a disciple of the Wanjian Pavilion."
"The origin of the Sword Cleansing Pool is truly miraculous. This pool is located within a mountain range of Grand Xia, and is nothing special about it. One day, a boundless amount of sword qi gushed out from the Sword Cleansing Pool. The sword qi soared up to the heavens and lasted for seven days and seven nights. The entire mountain range was slashed apart by the force of the sword qi."
"On the eighth day, the sword Qi dissipated. In the center of the Sword-cleansing Pool, a mysterious ancient sword appeared. The sword has a spirit and knows how to find its owner. If one is not recognized by the ancient sword, no matter how strong he is, he will not be able to subdue it. Instead, he will be killed by the ancient sword."
"After the ancient sword appeared, the Wanjian Pavilion appeared out of nowhere and rose in the Great Xia Dynasty. A hundred years later, the Wanjian Pavilion became one of the six major forces in the Northern Wilderness Region. It has been passed down from generation to generation. It has been a thousand years since then."
"You are indeed very knowledgeable, Leader Chu!"
Tang Yue's eyes widened in shock. "This legend has been passed down for nearly a thousand years. With the passage of time and the change of dynasties, very few people know about it. If I didn't accidentally read the ancient books when I was young, I'm afraid I wouldn't know about it."
Hearing this, Chu Xingyun smiled without saying a word.
He had some memories of the six major forces of the Northern Wilderness Region. As he was also a swordsman, he knew more about the Wanjian Pavilion.
The legend of the Sword-cleansing Pool had been passed down for more than a thousand years and was almost forgotten by everyone. Even some disciples of the Wanjian Pavilion did not know much about it and thought it was just a legend.
In fact, this was not a legend!
A few hundred years later, the Northern Wilderness Region would experience a massive beast horde that was rarely seen in a thousand years. Under the impact of this beast horde, countless empires and kingdoms would be wiped out. Even the six major forces would suffer a great blow.
Among the six major forces, the strength of the Wanjian Pavilion was only at the middle level. Facing the siege of the endless Beast Tide, its mountain gate was broken, and its sect was in turmoil. It was on the verge of death and could be destroyed by the ruthless Beast Tide at any time.
At this moment, a sword light suddenly bloomed in the sect grounds of the Wanjian Pavilion.
This sword light was as bright as the Milky Way, hanging upside down in the sky. The moment it fell, the nine heavens wailed and the earth trembled. Any Spiritual Beast that came into contact with this sword light died instantly without a trace of life.
Under the divine power of this sword light, the mighty Beast Tide collapsed. The name of the Wanjian Pavilion also shocked the entire Northern Wilderness Region. Countless experts flocked to the Wanjian Pavilion, making it the number one sect in the Northern Wilderness Region.
After that, everyone knew that the world-shaking sword light came from this legendary ancient sword.
The origin of this sword was not made up. It really did exist. The reason why it had never appeared was because the sword had a spirit. Even after a thousand years, it was difficult for anyone to subdue it.
It was only when the Wanjian Pavilion was at the brink of destruction that this sword was unsheathed and helped them through the crisis.
"This legendary ancient sword is extremely mysterious. Back then, when I was strong enough, I wanted to subdue this sword. However, after that Beast Tide, this sword disappeared completely. No one knows where it went."
Chu Xingyun thought of all this and could not help but sigh in his heart.
He was a swordsman.
Swordsmen were good at swords and loved swords.
Any swordsman would yearn for such a legendary ancient sword. Moreover, this sword had a spirit. Once it was unsheathed, it could destroy endless Beast Tides. With its vast power, it was definitely not an ordinary sword.
Seeing that Chu Xingyun was silent, Tang Yue cleared his throat and said, "Every three years, the Wanjian Pavilion will publicly recruit disciples. This Myriad Sword Invitation is a record of the recruitment. They hope to pick out talented people from all the dynasties and kingdoms."
"Our Liuyun Dynasty is located in a remote area and relatively poor in resources. Although there are many geniuses, few of them can pass the test of the Sword-cleansing Pool. Even if they pass, they will be mercilessly eliminated in the process of cultivation in the Wanjian Pavilion."
"Chairman Chu, your strength is invincible among the younger generation. You are also a swordsman. Therefore, when I received the Myriad Sword Invitation, I hurried over to see if Chairman Chu is interested in joining the Wanjian Pavilion."
While speaking, Tang Yue held his breath and glanced at Chu Xingyun resentfully.
More than ten days had passed since the battle at the Qitian Peak. However, every time Tang Yue thought of the scene on that day, he would still think of that shocking sword.
The sword shadow broke through the sky. How fierce and overbearing it was that one sword could cut through endless Evil Spirit.
If Chu Xingyun joined the 10,000 Swords Pavilion, with his talent in the Way of the Sword, he would definitely be valued by the 10,000 Swords Pavilion. At that time, the status of the Driftcloud Empire would also rise day by day, and it would become an overlord.
Feeling the eagerness in Tang Yue's eyes, Chu Xingyun's eyes narrowed slightly. Deep in his heart, he was a little tempted.
Back then, when he obtained the Seven Star Accumulating Spirit Stone, he always felt that what happened back then was not as simple as he imagined.
After asking, Wu Jing Xue revealed that except for the people of the Ancient Star Sect who came to the Liuyun Dynasty, the Wanjian Pavilion did appear secretly. However, the time was very short, and he found it by accident.
From this, it could be seen that the Wanjian Pavilion must have known about what happened back then. It was very likely that they secretly made a deal with the Ancient Star Sect without interfering with each other.
"My father said that my mother's position in the Ancient Star Sect was very high. She was suddenly summoned back by force, which means that something big happened in the Ancient Star Sect. If I investigate directly, it will attract the attention of the Ancient Star Sect. I'm afraid that the whole Liuyun Dynasty will not survive."
"It seems that the safest way is to start from the Wanjian Pavilion."
"What's more, at this time, the legendary ancient sword in the Wanjian Pavilion has not disappeared. If I enter the Wanjian Pavilion, maybe I can catch a glimpse of the ancient sword and even subdue it, completing the regrettable thing that happened back then."
Chu Xingyun's mind was full of thoughts. His eyes were fixed on the Myriad Sword Scroll in front of him, and they kept flashing.
Seeing this, Tang Yue did not dare to disturb him.
