1384 Stone Sword
Tian Yang held a look of disbelief on his face after hearing Ks'' response. Seeing this, Ks couldn''t help but burst outughing.
"..."
Ren Xia silently watched their interaction with widened eyes. She was skeptical that Ks and Tian Yang were friends at first, but after seeing their interaction, she had no choice but to believe it. Moreover, she has never seen Ksughing so heartily before.
Sometimeter, Tian Yang jumped on Ks'' flying treasure and started following Ren Xia. The white swan fluttered its wings and flew in the sky like a real being while the white tiger ran in the sky, almost as though there was an invisible tform for it to traverse.
If one saw them from a distance, they could easily be mistaken for authentic magical beasts.eastern fantasy
The flying treasures moved at extreme speeds, much faster than the flying treasure used by the Huang Family during their escape. Furthermore, it didn''t require as much spiritual energy from the user to maintain top speed. They were iparably better than ordinary flying treasures.
The only downside of these flying treasures would be their astronomically high price tag, something even extremely wealthy families would not dare consider buying more than one.
Within half an hour, Tian Yang and his group covered a distance that would typically take them a month if they had traveled normally.
When Tian Yang realized how much time they had wasted in the first section, he felt a strong urge to smack Ks in the back of his head, but he eventually controlled his urges.
After another half an hour, Ren Xia''s flying treasure quickly slowed down to a halt.
"We''re here," she said, her gaze pointing at therge sword in the distance.
"What is that?" Tian Yang mumbled in a dazed voice as he used divine sense to take a closer look.
Several miles in the distance, a sizable stone sword appeared, seemingly thrust into the ground. On closer inspection, one could discern engraved words on the de, each character seemingly etched with the precision of a sword stroke.
"We call it Han Zexian''s Stone Sword, and we believe that it''s trying to pass down a profound sword technique. Han Zexian was known to be a powerful Swordmaster with hundreds of terrifying sword techniques at his disposal, so it''s likely that this is one of them."
Tian Yang swallowed nervously. He could feel an unfathomable aura emitted by the stone sword even from such a distance.
When they got closer to the stone sword, Tian Yang noticed tens of thousands of cultivators were sitting in front of the stone sword, their gazes glued to its de.
However, unlike the first section, there was no protection from the tomb to safeguard these people while they tried toprehend the technique within the stone sword.
"Hmm I don''t wield the sword, so I won''t bother trying toprehend it." Ks suddenly said.
He turned to look at Tian Yang and asked, "How long do you think it''ll take you toprehend it?"
Tian Yang looked at him with raised eyebrows, "Why are you making it sound like I am guaranteed toprehend it? Countless people must''ve tried toprehend it for the past year, but it''s still here."
"If anybody canprehend it, it''ll be the only person who managed to clear a jade-difficulty trial." Ks smiled.
"What?" Ren Xia turned to look at Tian Yang with wide eyes. "You cleared a trial from a jade altar?"
He calmly nodded.
Ren Xia was left speechless upon learning this information. She knew a few people from the Immortal ns also took the jade altar''s trial, but none of them survived.
''Just who is this man? He can''t be a mere nobody!'' Ren Xia thought to herself.<novelsnext></novelsnext>
A momentter, she spoke, "Now that I think about it, we never had a proper introduction. I''m Ren Xia, youngest of the Immortal Sword n."
"Xiao Yang, a rogue cultivator." Tian Yang lied like it was in his nature.
"A rogue cultivator?" Ren Xia instantly knew that Tian Yang was lying, but she had no proof.
''Is he worried that I will expose his identity to the Immortal Gu n? Well, I don''t me him for being cautious.''
She decided to y along.
As they got closer to the stone sword, Ren Xia warned, "There won''t be any safe zone in this ce, so make sure you don''t focus entirely on the stone sword and forget about your surroundings. With that being said, nobody would dare to cause amotion that could disturb everyone here."
Ks then said, "Don''t worry about your safety and focus on the stone sword. I''ll watch your back."
Tian Yang nodded and took a seat before the stone sword a momentter.
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When he reopened them, they werepletely focused on the engravings on the stone sword.
lightsvl m "How long do people tend to stay here?" Ks asked Ren Xia a momentter.
"..."
"Are you seriously going to continue ignoring me? Why are you acting so childish?"
She nced at him and sneered, "Says the one who ran away from home a year ago."
"I did not run away. I merely went on a journey to find out my own path."
"Whatever you say."
After a moment of silence, Ren Xia continued, "Most people leave within a month if they don''t see any progress while some have been here for over six months."
"And how does this trial work? Does the stone sword go away once someoneprehends the technique?" Ks asked.
"That''s what happened to the others."
"There is more than one stone sword?"
"Not just stone swords. There are sabers, axes, bowsall kinds of weapons."
"Huh? Why does he have so many different kinds of techniques? I also never heard of Han Zexian wielding anything other than swords."
''It''s widely known that Han Zexian had multiple identities, but the exact number remains a mystery. Only a few are aware, and weck confirmation, but there''s a belief that one of Han Zexian''s many aliases was Ambiguous Hoarder,'' Ren Xia disclosed through divine sense.
''Ambiguous Hoarder?! Are you sure?!'' Ks was shocked to learn this information.
''Like I said, we don''t have proof, but after seeing the unfathomable amount of treasures in this ce, I would be willing to bet on it being true.'' Ren Xia sighed.
