Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming-Chapter 2199 - 776: Nascent Soul Middle Stage, Sword Cavern Secret Treasure
The environment remained unchanged, yet the same surroundings now seemed different.
The omnipresent Geng Metal Power, which before could only be sensed, now revealed its presence and movement.
He could now glimpse where it flowed, where the Geng Metal Power was denser, and even vaguely discern why some places had more concentrated Geng Metal Power than others.
Looking at the magic artifacts within the caves, every piece, observed through his divine sense, displayed its spiritual radiance hidden by its own spiritual power, allowing judgments about the strength of each magic artifact.
Generally speaking, apart from peerless dharma treasures, the stronger the spiritual radiance of a magic artifact, the higher its grade.
Even among peerless dharma treasures, those with stronger spiritual radiance are more likely to transform and upgrade into spiritual treasures.
Previously, due to the obstruction that the Geng Metal Power imposed on divine sense, Zhou Chun couldn’t perceive the deepest scenes of the Myriad Fathom Sword Cavern with his own divine sense.
Now, with his breakthrough in cultivation, his divine sense surged, and the sights deep within the cave floated into his mind.
At the deepest part of the cave, there lay a circular nine-layer sword platform, with a total of one hundred and eight flawless flying swords inserted into it.
The worst of the one hundred and eight flying swords were high-grade magical treasures.
Among them, there were twenty-four peerless dharma treasure flying swords!
Additionally, there were five flying swords at the spiritual treasure level!
And at the topmost and central position of the sword platform was a golden long sword.
This sword, unlike the spiritual treasure flying swords and peerless dharma treasure flying swords, didn’t shine brightly nor exude a sharp aura.
Its aura was restrained, almost emitting no aura outwardly, nor did it display any sword light.
But its position meant Zhou Chun couldn’t possibly ignore its existence!
Considering that even the five spiritual treasure flying swords could only rank below it, its true grade was undoubtedly evident!
"I didn’t expect such treasures to be hidden within the Myriad Fathom Sword Cavern!"
"Tai Geng Divine Venerable is really trusting me too much, isn’t he afraid I’ll snatch this sword and vanish without a trace?"
Zhou Chun gazed in shock towards the sword platform’s location deep within the cave, his eyes full of amazement.
If excluding the Purifying Heavenly Vessel, it was the first time he had observed a Heaven-Connecting Spirit Treasure so closely and directly.
Only about a third of the sword was embedded into the sword platform, with the remaining two-thirds, including its hilt, visible.
Its hilt was uniquely shaped, resembling a golden eagle head with wings spread.
Looking closer, feather-like patterns adorned the golden sword body, as if the sword was crafted using the feathers of some divine bird!
Zhou Chun focused intently, his divine sense subconsciously wrapping around the long sword, as if wanting to scrutinize more closely, or attempting to gather more information about the sword.
But soon, he paid the price for his impulsive actions!
Ah!
A scream suddenly echoed throughout the Myriad Fathom Sword Cavern, as Zhou Chun’s body fell to the ground, clutching his head, cold sweat pouring from his forehead.
Moments ago, when his divine sense enveloped the long sword, it seemed to awaken some terrifying presence, and an unmatched sharp sword intent exploded, slicing through his divine soul through the connection with his divine sense, nearly cleaving him in two!
It was the first time he had encountered such a powerful divine soul attack, even the full-force divine soul attacks from the Heaven Soul Race’s strong individuals hadn’t been as potent as this sword intent.
If not for his breakthrough to Nascent Soul Middle Stage, his spirit sense transforming qualitatively to the Spirit Sense Incarnation Realm beforehand, the injury from this sword intent would have taken him decades or even a hundred years to recover!
Even with his now powerful spirit sense, the sword intent caused significant damage.
After a brief moment of recuperation, Zhou Chun endured the splitting headache and quickly left the Myriad Fathom Sword Cavern.
Given his current state, it wasn’t suitable for him to continue cultivating there.
Upon returning to his residence outside, Zhou Chun hurriedly slapped his storage pouch at his waist and retrieved the spirit ointment produced by the ’Soul Washing Water Monster’, acquired from the Bloodflame Flood Dragon King’s storage magic artifact.
Tests confirmed that this substance could cleanse the divine soul and nourish it.
Now, with sword intent remnants lingering within his divine soul, if he relied solely on himself to slowly dispel and resolve the sword intent, it would be uncertain how long it would take and how much agony he’d endure.
He naturally didn’t want to suffer needlessly.
He applied the spirit ointment to his forehead, and a cooling sensation immediately poured into the Purple Mansion’s Sea of Consciousness.
Under the cleansing and rinsing of this cooling sensation, the lingering sword intent within his divine soul was gradually flushed and stripped away.
After using up half of the spirit ointment in his possession, Zhou Chun finally managed to dispel the sword intent.
However, the damage to his divine soul was still far from fully healed.
Although he possessed treasures to restore divine soul damage, he was reluctant to use them in this circumstance.
Since he wasn’t urgently required to fight anyone, even if it took years for self-recovery, he could heal the injury.
"Roc Soaring Sword, is that the name of that sword?"
Inside the quiet chamber, Zhou Chun raised his hand to rub his forehead, muttering to himself.
Despite being struck by that sword intent, he hadn’t returned empty-handed.
