Chapter 51 (1/2)

Chapter 51 – Eleven Years Old, Formless Sword

Half a month later, the group bid farewell to the villagers of Green River Village and left.

Initially, Zhou Xuanji wanted to wait for another month for Little Jiang Xue, but she had already lost hope and did not want to delay him.

The group walked in the wilderness and headed toward the Great Zhou Empire.

Zhou Xuanji did not want to bring Ah Big and Small Er along, but after he thought about it carefully, he still brought them along.

The two dragon eagles were considered rare beasts that could easily attract covetous eyes of other cultivators. So, it was too dangerous to leave them in Gulan Forest.

Northern Valiant Sword suggested buying a beast management bag, which was the size of a mustard seed. He could hide the dragon eagles inside the bag with spirit stones and food alongside them to keep them alive.

But the beast management bag was highly costly and could not be bought in ordinary kingdoms. They were under the control of big clans and the government.

Zhou Xuanji was extremely wealthy, so it was a piece of cake to buy one from the Empire.

On the mountainous terrain, the group crossed mountains and rivers.

Zhou Xuanji patted Ah Big as he walked and sighed, “You were so small when we first met, look how big you are now. See how well I fed you.”

Little Jiang Xue pursed her lips and retorted, “Aren’t I the one who has been feeding them?”

Zhou Xuanji shot her a glare. Was this girl entering the rebellious puberty stage?

Why must she always sabotage his pride?

Both the Sword King and Huang Lianxin could not contain their laughter.

“I’ve heard that if a dragon eagle lives to a thousand years, it could become a lord in the demon tribe. I’m not sure if it’s true,” Huang Lianxin said with a smile.

“Rubbish. I’ve lived for a thousand years, but I have yet to see a mighty dragon eagle. That is just a rumor!”

The small black snake said powerlessly as it was dragged along by the Three-Eyed Rodent.

Because it was dragged along, its skin was torn and ripped, its body was full of wounds.

But what was worth mentioning was that, although it underwent such torture, its body was recovering, like it was going through body tempering.

Zhou Xuanji said in response, “I will surely nurture them to become demon lords!”

The dragon eagles heard him and instantly gave off a long joyful cry. They circled around him and as their wings spread, they generated a strong gust that almost blew the Three-Eyed Rodent and the small black snake away.

Now that they were as tall as a three-story building, they were considered giant beasts.

“You want me to die?”

The snake cried furiously, although he sounded humorous to the rest.

Somehow, the Hegemon-Scaled Black Dragon became their source of joy.

But it was odd that its body size remained as it was, as though it was never going to grow.

Each time they mentioned this, the small snake felt like he was being stabbed in his heart, and cried loudly, “That’s the talent of my race, how can you understand?”

But whenever the snake showed such arrogance, it received a kick from Zhou Xuanji.

The group did not travel hastily but toured around during the day and trained at night.

If they encountered demons, Zhou Xuanji would guide Little Jiang Xue to fight them to gain experience.

Huang Lianxin did so too, while Northern Valiant Sword was deeply mesmerized with the Ranged Sword Propelling.

He trained the sword technique even when he was walking.

They crossed over mountains and hills, over rivers and plains.

They walked past forests in which autumn leaves danced. They climbed over mountains that were covered in ice and snow.

Two months passed quickly.

“Analyzed that the Sword Owner has reached ten years old. Gacha started!”

“Ding! Congratulations! The Sword Owner obtained [Silver] Formless Sword, Golden Chainmail, Black Sea Pill!”

Zhou Xuanji heard the Sword Spirit’s voice while he was on the road.

He was already eleven years old.

Somehow, he felt a little sad that time indeed urged people to age.

After that, he pleasantly examined the Formless Sword’s information.

Sword Name: Formless Sword

…

A formless sword?
