Cultivation Online-Chapter 1385 Ambiguous Hoarder

1385 Ambiguous Hoarder

'Ambiguous Hoarder… If this information is true, this tomb is much more precious than originally anticipated!' Kulas swallowed nervously after learning of this information.

The Ambiguous Hoarder was a mysterious individual who was known for collecting all sorts of valuable treasures and techniques in the Divine Heaven about five thousand years ago. He would often show up at auction houses and expensive stores, emptying their stock and storage. If he wasn't at auction houses, he would be approaching people directly to purchase their valuables with offers that were hard to refuse. Nobody knew why the Ambiguous Hoarder needed so much treasure nor where he acquired the wealth to purchase so much treasure.

The Ambiguous Hoarder was active for five hundred years before vanishing like a ghost, and people believed that he had the largest collection of treasure in the entire world.

When the Ambiguous Hoarder vanished without a trace alongside his treasures, people believed that he had perished and began searching for his remains. But alas, even after spending countless resources and many decades searching, they remained empty-handed.

'If Han Zexian is truly the Ambiguous Hoarder, 'that' technique might be here…' Kulas turned to look at Tian Yang.

The Ambiguous Hoarder had a specific technique that Kulas had always wanted to learn, but it was only a pipe dream since nobody knew where the Ambiguous Hoarder had disappeared to. However, if Han Zexian turned out to be the famous Ambiguous Hoarder, he might actually have a chance of acquiring said technique, and fulfilling his dreams.

The only problem was that he'd promised Tian Yang that he'd travel with him, so he couldn't just leave by himself.

'One month… I will only wait for a month, so you better comprehend the technique by then, Tian Yang!' Kulas gritted his teeth and suppressed his urges.

Meanwhile, Tian Yang continued to stare at the engravings on the stone sword without blinking. Time slipped away swiftly, and in the blink of an eye, a week had passed. Throughout this period, Tian Yang tirelessly recited the engravings in his mind hundreds of times each day, witnessing rapid growth in his comprehension of their meaning.

Unbeknownst to Tian Yang at that time, his true talent did not lie within cultivation but in an entirely different domain.

On the tenth day of his study, Tian Yang abruptly entered a trance-like state. Though he continued reciting the engravings in his mind, it was now happening subconsciously.

The atmosphere around Tian Yang began to change. It was subtle and barely noticeable at first, but it grew increasingly profound and noticeable.

"No way… is that…?" Ren Xia doubted her eyes at first and even rubbed them before taking another look at Tian Yang.

"Enlightenment!" Kulas sucked in a cold breath of air after realizing what was happening to Tian Yang. Even a genius like him had never experienced Enlightenment before.

"Don't tell me that he'll actually comprehend the stone sword's technique…?" Ren Xia swallowed nervously before muttering in a dazed voice.

Although it took some time, the people around Tian Yang eventually noticed the weird atmosphere around him and shifted their focus away from the stone sword to focus on Tian Yang.

"Am I seeing things? How long has it been since he started studying the stone sword?"

"He was already here when I arrived a week ago."

"He wasn't here two weeks ago."

A small commotion erupted around Tian Yang that quickly spread like wildfire until it inevitably disturbed everyone there.

"Who is that young man? I don't recognize him."

"Me neither."

"Look at the profound atmosphere around him! He must have come from a powerful background!"

"That's called Enlightenment, you ignorant one. One's background has nothing to do with it. In fact, it's not something even the geniuses in the Immortal Clans could bring forth at will."

Despite the envy that many harbored towards Tian Yang's situation, nobody dared to disturb him. It was an unspoken rule to never interrupt someone in a state of Enlightenment, a state believed to be bestowed by the Heavens. Therefore, anyone breaking this rule was considered to be defying the will of Heaven and inviting its wrath.

Furthermore, given the rarity of Enlightenment, being able to witness such a phenomenon could be considered a stroke of good luck. No sane person would intentionally disrupt an event that most individuals go their entire lives without witnessing.

Since Tian Yang entered Enlightenment, time appeared to have slowed down. Eventually, after three days of profound silence, a shift occurred, and a semi-transparent sword materialized above Tian Yang, slowly orbiting around him.

After another three days had elapsed, a second sword manifested above him, followed by a third two days later.

Each of these swords exuded an otherworldly aura, almost as if they existed between the boundary of their world and another.

On the ninth day since Tian Yang entered his Enlightenment, the fourth and final sword materialized above him. Four otherworldly swords orbited around him, endowing him with a divine presence, as though he had transcended into a sword divinity.

The swords vanished as Tian Yang opened his eyes. Simultaneously, substantial cracks surfaced on the stone sword before them, eventually causing it to crumble into a mountain of stones.

"..."

Shortly after Tian Yang emerged from his Enlightenment, the people there snapped out of their daze and approached him, bombarding him with the same questions.

"Hey! What sword technique did you acquire from the stone sword?!"

"Please! Tell us its name!"

"What rank is this technique?!"

"I'm willing to purchase the technique from you! Give me a price!"

*Pap!*

A clapping sound loud enough to stun everyone there suddenly resounded, startling everyone there.

When they turned to look at the person who caused the commotion, they saw an old man with a group of young people behind him.

"That's the Sect Leader of the Seven Divine Sword Peaks!"

Nearly everyone there immediately recognized the old man's identity, who was the leader of one of the most prestigious Sects in the Divine Heaven.
