Chapter 1514: The Pressure of the Origin Immortal Sword! (1/2)
Translated by: Hypersheep325

The first generation's Origin Immortal Sword Formation would attack all martial artists who entered the surrounding region, but it did not attack the two long chains.
The sword slashes left on the chains were the result of outsiders inadvertently striking the chains while trying to get in.
Bagushidu had never imagined that Wang Chong would have paid attention to the chains. This was truly a flaw right in front of them that they had both managed to miss.
Even as his enemy, Bagushidu had to admit that Wang Chong truly did possess outstanding and praiseworthy ability.
Trying to imitate another person's energy, or even lifeless objects like stones or chains, was not something that could be accomplished purely through powerful Psychic Energy. Wang Chong was able to accomplish this because his Psychic Energy had reached an incredible level of substantiality.
Bagushidu knew of no one else in the world who could accomplish such a feat.
Regardless of what Bagushidu was thinking, Wang Chong continued to make his way along the chain like a monkey. Even though Wang Chong had succeeded in avoiding the first wave of the Origin Immortal Sword Formation's attack by pretending to be a chain, he remained cautious and vigilant.
The unique properties of the Origin Immortal Sword Formation have resulted in a total of fifty-three blind spots along the chain, places that the Origin Immortal Sword Formation can't attack. As long as I travel along these blind spots, I'll suffer the absolute minimum number of attacks, which can be done by just jumping from blind spot to blind spot. This will help me avoid most of the danger, but when traveling between blind spots, I'll still be attacked by the flying swords. These will be the most dangerous moments.
Wang Chong lowered his body and looked ahead, his mind abuzz.
Wang Chong had performed his previous acrobatics in a very smooth and natural fashion, but Wang Chong understood that it was anything but. The flying swords remained in the air while the chain continued to sway.
Holding onto the chain, Wang Chong felt like a leaf being tossed about on the raging sea, and the slightest weakness would leave his body shattered and destroyed. He only had thirty percent of his strength at this time, far too little to deal with everything around him. More importantly, Wang Chong was well aware that this current situation wouldn't last for very long.
The first-generation successor had preserved much more of his mind than the others. He was simply confused at this time and unable to distinguish Wang Chong's true form. But as time passed, his mind would awaken more and more, upon which he would find Wang Chong on the chains and execute him.
…I have thirty minutes at most before the successor figures out my disguise. Thus, I have to get across before then, Wang Chong quietly said to himself.
Clingclingcling!
The vibrating of the flying swords rang out endlessly. Although they couldn't pin down Wang Chong's location, they seemed to have a rough idea of where he was and constantly howled around him. This was a consequence of a fragmented mind.
After all, the first-generation successor had been dead for a thousand years, with all the damage that came to his consciousness that implied. He would have never expected Wang Chong to have disguised himself as a chain. No martial artist had ever done this over these one thousand years.
Swoosh!
Wang Chong jumped forward like an ape, crossing several dozen feet to reach the third blind spot. Clangclangclang! There was a clattering of metal behind him as numerous swords struck the chain in a shower of sparks.
Wang Chong's previous calculations had proved effective. The flying swords flew above him, awash with golden light, hanging overhead like an intimidating cloud. But those flying swords that actually came down were few in number, completely unlike the offensive the third-generation successor had been made to face.
To the rear, Bagushidu had long ago been left speechless by this sight.
As the seconds passed and the swords came down again and again, Wang Chong continued to advance, dodging every attack. Slowly, as Bagushidu watched Wang Chong advance, he began to frown, seemingly vexed by an incomprehensible problem.
”Strange…” Bagushidu softly muttered as he looked to the other side. The thickness of the fog had reached an astonishing level, and nothing could be seen, but Bagushidu had an expectant look in his eyes.
He had made his own try at this final trial, and if it had really only been about dealing with the first-generation successor, he would have long ago made his move. No matter how terrifying the successor was, he was willing to take heavy injuries to reach the other side.
But the reality was different!
What had stopped Ishinishidu two hundred years ago had definitely not just been these flying swords, and what had made Ishinishidu hesitate in fear and apprehension had not been the first-generation successor!
But for some reason, Wang Chong's journey across the chains had not been affected by that object.
Buzz!
Just when Bagushidu was getting suspicious, he felt a ripple from the depths of the fog, accompanied by a flash of light and a familiar energy.
”It's begun!”
