Chapter 515 - Meeting The Earth Level Deity (2/2)
“In the name of The Primordial Azure Thearch, and with his Yi Wood Talisman, I command you!”
Powerful Azure Thearch Longevity True Essence gushed out from Chen Fan’s hands and poured into the wood element attack. The Azure Thearch Longevity Body was the most powerful wood element art and could command all Wood Elements in the universe.
The Yi Wood Energy suddenly disappeared and the entire Wood Element Array quickly fell under Chen Fan’s control.
All five elements were interconnected in the Array of Five Elements and breaking one meant breaking the entire array.
“Break!”
Chen Fan stomped the ground and grunted.
“Kaboom!”
A tremor shot through the valley and banished the deadly array. Chen Fan found himself right in front of a cave. The Dragon Lord was standing by the entrance.
The Dragon Lord turned around and was startled by Chen Fan.
“You have already finished the Mist Dragon Array and the Array of Five Elements?”
The Dragon Lord asked with disbelief and shock written all over his face.
It had taken him and a few other Immortal State Warriors a few decades to find out a way to get past the first two arrays. Therefore, he was stunned and terrified by Chen Fan’s incredible efficiency.
“It might take you a couple of decades, but for me, it’s a child’s play.”
Chen Fan waved a hand and said lightly.
Chen Fan had trapped the Dragon Lord in the valley, so he was not in a hurry to kill the Dragon Lord right away, instead, he examined the cave carefully.
“So this is the third Dharma Array?”
There was a stone altar by the entrance, and on it were nine miniature swords. Each sword had a name engraved on its body.
“Pixiu, Rosemallow, Asura, and Red Skirt”
After identifying the names on the blade, Chen Fan had already guessed their owner.
Dragon Lord let out a wry smile and then explained.
“As far as we know, this Cave Abode was the residence of the last Earth Level Deity in China: ‘Sword Secret the Exalted Cultivator’. These swords were the famous Nine used by him. You need to pa.s.s this sword array in order to get into the cave.”
“These nine swords had helped the Exalted Cultivator dominate the entire China. I wager that it will take nine Immortal State Warriors to break this array. But where are we going to find nine Immortal State Warriors?”
Dragon Lord said as he shook his head.
“I see.”
Chen Fan nodded.
He could sense immense energy rippling out from these nine flying swords. Despite their ordinary appearance, each one of them was as deadly as Lin Langya’s Art of Blood Sword. However, the riddle could not deter Chen Fan.
Suddenly, Chen Fan felt a slight tug on his belt. The yellow gourd was somehow agitated.
“This Blade Strengthening Gourd also belonged to the Exalted Cultivator, could it be…”
Chen Fan’s mind raced as he unhitched the gourd from his belt and started the art that he used to summon his flying sword back into the gourd.
“Clank Clank”
Under the Dragon Lord’s disbelieving eyes, the nine blades started to hum and slowly elevated to the air and then flew into the yellow gourd.
After a while, the Dragon Lord exclaimed.
“Isn’t that the Blade Strengthening Gourd of the Exalted Cultivator? I thought it was missing.”
Once he had gained the nine flying swords, Chen Fan was in a good mood. So he replied readily without much thought: “Yea, I got it from Hong Kong.”
After he said that, Chen Fan waved a hand and walked into the cave.
“Follow me, and don’t even try to run away.”
The Dragon Lord’s face changed a few colors, but in the end, he heaved a sigh and followed Chen Fan disheartened.
He didn’t want to risk his life by trying to run away, and he was also very curious about the Earth Level Deity’s treasure.
The interior of the cave was nothing like the Dragon Lord had imagined. It was largely empty except for a couple of pain shelves with scrolls piled on top. Some of the scrolls were already turned to grey dust.
Right in the middle of the cave was a Cultivator sitting on the ground with his eyes closed. His face radiated life and energy.
“The Exalted Cultivator is still alive?”
The Dragon Lord exclaimed.
“Not even a Golden Core Cultivator could live over a thousand years.” Chen Fan snorted. “This is just his body. He had a Connate Body so his flesh would last thousands of years. However, his Divine Soul is long gone.”
Dragon Lord examined the cultivator more carefully and noticed that he couldn’t hear any heartbeat. It was just as Chen Fan had said, an empty husk.
“Uh?”
Chen Fan noticed that the cultivator was holding a scroll in his hand.
Chen Fan pried the scroll out of the dead cultivator’s clutch and unfurled it. He was shocked as soon as he read the first line.
