‘Xin Country… Could it be the Xin Country on Earth?’

Xin Country was Fang Xingjian’s home country back on Earth.

‘But does Xin Country have a titular organization?

‘Moreover, these are things from the Ancient Era… Why would there be writings using the Xin Country’s language?’

Looking at the red-colored metal slab, the thoughts in Fang Xingjian’s mind became somewhat chaotic. He could no longer hear the discussions in the surroundings, and he continued to read on.

The writing on the metal slab was very messy, and the person who had written this was clearly in a hurry and very nervous. He must have had written it down in a very agitated state.

“The person who has seen this dragon’s scale, remember, don’t ever borrow the powers of the demonic gods. Don’t ever borrow the powers of the demonic gods.

“The only one who can defeat the demonic gods are only the demonic gods themselves. Remember! Don’t ever let them into our world!

“Remember the sword technique below. It shall be… the key!”

The few words before ‘the key’ was struck off, making it hard for Fang Xingjian to read what was written there.

The note had started with just a few simple lines, but what was written thereafter was a set of sword technique.

Fang Xingjian did not look at the sword technique, but just read the few lines at the very beginning repeatedly.

‘Demonic gods… Do they have any relation to evil gods?’ He suddenly recalled what his mother had told him through the Second Prince, ‘Don’t ever cultivate magic prints. Don’t accept the evil gods’ powers… Are there any relations between the two?’

Although he could understand the words written on the slab, the message it held was very thought-provoking. It was as if a single puzzle had turned into many more puzzles.

Letting out a sigh, Fang Xingjian knew that with the hints he currently had, it was impossible for him to understand all the causes and effects. He could only lower his head and continue to read the contents of the sword technique.

The name of this technique was called Heaven’s Volition Sword Technique. However, rather than calling it a sword technique, it was more like a sword intent. There were no concrete sword moves, but the user would nurture a survival of the fittest sword intent within it.

According to what was written on it, this metal slab was referred to as a dragon’s scale.

The introduction to the sword technique did not mention how to nurture this sword intent either. It only described how to unlock the encrypted Waves on the ‘dragon’s scale’, which would then allow one to absorb the Heaven’s Volition Sword Intent. There was only one Heaven’s Volition Sword Intent, and it could only be cultivated by a single person.

Right now, Fang Xingjian had the Zenith Light Sword Formation for long range attacks, the Ether Sword Ripples for close combat, Terra Ingurgitation when fighting with power, and Boundaries Negation when fighting with speed. He even had a set of Prodigious Demolition Sword which he had yet to master. In terms of battle prowess, he was not lacking in sword techniques he could cultivate.

However, it seemed as if the hidden sword technique in this piece of ‘dragon’s scale’ seemed to hide a great secret, piquing his interest. He really wanted to learn this.

However, he was not the only person who was interested in this Ancient Era’s artifact. Just as Fang Xingjian was reading the dragon’s scale, Sasa, who had come from the Eastern Sand Region and had the reputation of a Sword Saint, was also in discussion with the Head of Department, James.

Sasa looked at the dragon’s scale with a blazingly intense gaze. The reason he was interested in this thing was because he had once read information related to it.

Located on the extreme east of the Empire, the Eastern Sand Region was neighbors to the Sand Country, which was also in the east. The Eastern Sand Region had been often harassed by the Sand Country over the years, and it was a region plagued with war. There were endless conflicts of various degrees, and the Knights there had to go to war often.

As a level 29 Conferred Knight, Sasa was often in the forefront of battles. He would either be fighting to impede the Sand Country’s experts while they did the same, or secretly targeting some of their geniuses.
