The Supreme Wild Young Master-Chapter 617: Heavenly Sword_1
Chapter 617: Chapter 617: Heavenly Sword_1
Inside the forbidden territory of the Ling Mountain Sect.
Zhang Xian stood before a stone wall, eyes slightly closed, reviewing the images he had just seen.
Suddenly, a flash before his eyes transported him to a plain amidst a raging storm, with thunder and lightning illuminating the swiftly spinning vortex in the sky.
"Whoosh, whoosh..."
Suddenly, the rotating vortex transformed into a giant palm, rapidly bearing down towards Zhang Xian’s head.
"Hmm..."
Zhang Xian looked up at the sky, a slight smile on his face, and remained unmoving.
"Rumble..."
The gigantic palm descended from the sky, slamming into the ground and shaking the earth, leaving a massive palm print in the middle of the plain.
However, Zhang Xian in the center remained unscathed, still wearing his faint smile.
"Buzz..."
Suddenly, the sound of a mosquito rang out, and the scenery underwent another change.
"Could this be the real state of mind space?" Looking at the azure sky and lush grassland before him, Zhang Xian’s smile widened.
He knew that the scene just now was a test. Without sufficient spiritual power, one could not detect the hidden secrets. Without adequate insight, one would also not comprehend the true spirit of the ’Heavenly Sword’.
This move was filled with murderous intent, requiring an indomitable spirit.
"Buzz..."
Suddenly, the sound of swords rang out across the grassland.
Next, a huge golden long sword abruptly appeared in mid-air, shrouded in golden radiance, sacred and sharp.
"Huh?" Zhang Xian looked up and realized that the floating figure in the sky was not a mere sword. Within its body was a slender silhouette, as beautiful as an angel.
The figure hovered in mid-air, with her eyes slightly closed and remained still. However, upon the sword, flashes of light flickered, incredibly sharp, as if it intended to tear the space apart.
"Could she be the beauty who left the Alchemy Comprehension?" Zhang Xian thought delightedly.
There was no denying that the figure within the sword was extremely beautiful. Even more irresistible was her powerful aura. Such a woman transcended the realm of goddesses.
"Buzz..."
The figure’s hands gradually rose, her long hair and white dress swaying without wind.
At that moment, the surrounding spiritual energy started to flow rapidly, whirling towards the figure. The massive sword too receded and condensed into a golden light on the figure’s slender jade finger, transforming into an egg-sized golden light cluster bouncing up and down on her fingertip.
Zhang Xian fixed his gaze on the figure’s slender finger, not blinking an eye.
Of course, he was not admiring the beauty’s delicate hand, but the bouncing light cluster. Within that small light cluster, countless sword energies were colliding.
"So strong..." Feeling the energy fluctuations caused by the collision of the sword energy within, Zhang Xian subconsciously swallowed his saliva.
From the energy fluctuations within the light ball, he had no doubt that if this sword struck, even a sturdy mountain would be pulverized under the violent energy.
"Swoosh...Swoosh..."
At a certain moment, the figure lifted her finger, the light cluster on her slender finger suddenly exploded, transforming into numerous sword energies, fiercely chopping towards the grassland below.
"Boom..."
With a loud noise, two deep tracks, each several tens of yards long, instantly appeared on the previously flat grassland.
"Damn..." Zhang Xian was dumbfounded.
After receiving the inheritance, he learned how powerful cultivators could be. But witnessing it with his own eyes still took his breath away.
The beauty’s casual strike had the power to destroy a mountain. What if this sword struck a human? Would there even be any residues left? He feared not even ashes would remain.
"Huff..."
In mid-air, the woman’s figure suddenly flashed, and sword energies swiftly swirled around her, quickly weaving into a sword net that completely enveloped her.
"Boom..."
Immediately after, the woman unleashed another massive sword phantom, ruthlessly slashing into the grassland below.
The power of this sword was even stronger than the previous one, almost splitting the grassland in half.
"Damn..."
Zhang Xian was stupefied, stunned by the scene before him.
However, he quickly recovered, looking up at the woman floating in the sky, his eyes not missing any of her movements.
After a long while, the figure in mid-air suddenly vanished.
At this moment, Zhang Xian’s thoughts returned to reality. Before him, the mural images reappeared.
"What a powerful attack."
Zhang Xian murmured, closing his eyes while the iron was hot, reviewing the moves demonstrated by that woman in the hope of gaining insights.
...
In some forest in Tongzhi County.
Chris stood under a tree with several elders, watching a cave at the foot of the mountain, a malicious smile on his face.
During this time, their battles against the Ancient Martial Arts Practitioners of Huaxia hadn’t gone well, leaving him full of pent-up frustration with nowhere to vent. Learning a few days ago that several of Huaxia’s Ancient Martial Arts Practitioners had come to Tongzhi County to excavate a tomb or something, he immediately led his men here, planning to catch them off guard.
"Chris, why haven’t those guys come out yet?"
An old man looked at Chris and said, "Could your information be wrong? We can’t enter that cave down there."
"The information should be correct."
With a cold chuckle, Chris said: "Exploring ancient tombs like this takes quite a bit of time. They might have met some dangers or even be trapped inside. We just keep waiting."
"Alright..."
Another old man chuckled: "This time, I’ll definitely make those Huaxia Ancient Martial Arts Practitioners look foolish."
"Gentlemen, we can’t afford to make a mistake this time."
Chris stated: "Once we take over the ancient martial arts world, the authorities will implement their plans. If there’s any slip-up this time, it will be hard for us to explain."
"Absolutely necessary."
The men glanced at each other, all grinning coldly.
They had already identified the number of people who came to the ancient tomb and arranged the ambush. As long as those guys from the ancient martial arts world came out, they were doomed without a doubt.
...
Inside the Ling Mountain Sect’s formation.
Mo Shaoyun stood outside the cave, her elegant eyebrows furrowed, repeatedly wanting to rush into the cave, but she backed away each time.
Zhang Xian had been in there for a whole day, without any sound or movement. She didn’t know what the situation inside was. She was afraid of disturbing Zhang Xian, but at the same time, she felt extremely uncertain.
She knew that transmissions of this sort depended on a moment of enlightenment, and rushing in rashly would only cause trouble for Zhang Xian.
"Boom..."
At one moment, a massive noise suddenly came from the cave.
"Zhang Xian..."
Startled, Mo Shaoyun quickly turned around and ran inside.
"Haha... My comprehension surely didn’t let me down. I actually worked out some ways." Inside the cave, Zhang Xian looked at a few sword marks on the stone wall, chuckling excitedly.
After much comprehension, he could now use the ’Heavenly Sword’. Though, its power wasn’t great yet, he was already quite satisfied.
After all, he was just scraping the surface now, and he didn’t know how far away he was from achieving complete mastery. Moreover, with no Spiritual Origin within him, he had to use compressed Spiritual Energy to use it, which greatly reduced its power.
However, with this one sword, even grandmaster level opponents would have to scamper, not daring to take it head-on.
"Are you okay?"
At this moment, Mo Shaoyun came rushing in, her face anxious.
"I’m fine!" Zhang Xian looked at Mo Shaoyun, frowned, and said: "Don’t tell me something happened outside."
Mo Shaoyun said: "I was worried about you! What was that loud noise just now? And how come ... you’ve been inside for a whole day and night?"
"I’ve been inside for a day and a night?" Zhang Xian mused over it for a moment and then smiled, "Don’t worry, I’m fine. Moments of sudden insight usually take quite a while. Those god-like beings sometimes even seclude themselves for ten days, half a month, or even longer."
Mo Shaoyun looked at Zhang Xian and laughed, "So, did you gain anything?"
"Of course, I did!"
Zhang Xian flauntingly shook his head and said: "For a smart person like me, how could I gain nothing?"
"So cocky..."
After giving Zhang Xian an eye-roll, Mo Shaoyun asked: "It’s almost evening, what are you planning to do now? Break the formation directly?"
"It’s almost evening now?"
Zhang Xian frowned, "Wait a bit, I need to familiarize myself with the sword technique I just learnt. When I get out, I’ll surely need to use it. Those guys are waiting for me."
"Or, should we wait for another day?" Mo Shaoyun asked.
Zhang Xian shook his head, "No need, I just need a little practice. Those guys who want to kill me, it won’t be that easy. I’m just worried about you."
Mo Shaoyun pouted and said, "What’s there to worry about for me? You can do whatever you want. Don’t worry about me."
"Can I actually not worry about you?"
Zhang Xian said: "If you hadn’t followed me here, it wouldn’t matter. You came along, and if anything happens to you, my heart won’t be able to take it!"
Mo Shaoyun looked at Zhang Xian and asked, "Really? When did you suddenly become so good?"
"What do you mean by that? When was I not good?"
Zhang Xian rubbed his nose and laughed, "All of you are the apple of my eye! If anything, even the smallest mishap happens to any of you, my heart will ache."
"You go practice! I’m waiting outside for you."
After giving Zhang Xian another eye-roll, Mo Shaoyun blushed a little and turned to run out of the cave.
"Is the battle going to begin?"
As Zhang Xian watched Mo Shaoyun leave, he contemplated for a while, and then began to familiarize himself with the sword technique he had just comprehended inside the cave.
After a few tries, he felt somewhat confident and sat down cross-legged, to replenish the spent Spirit Energy. Without the Spiritual Origin, he couldn’t fully unleash the power of the ’Heavenly Sword,’ but the consumption of Spiritual Energy was quite huge. Perhaps, only once he breaks into the realm of Spiritual Origin could he withstand the consumption of the ’Heavenly Sword.’
"The time should be just about right, shouldn’t it?"
At some moment, Zhang Xian abruptly stood up and headed for the cave entrance, "Since it’s inevitable, I might as well have a look at how capable these Ancient Martial Arts Practitioners are."
