Chapter 1239: Dragon Fire Island

The human being was sitting in the corner without moving. It didn’t have any life force. It was a corpse instead of a living being.

Zhang Ruochen wasn’t a coward. However, he didn’t even notice it after sitting in front of him for several days, which was terrifying.

There were many weird things on the ancient ghost boat. Even saint thoughts could be refined into evil thoughts. Everything was possible.

Which was why Zhang Ruochen was careful even facing a lifeless corpse. He got close to it with caution.

n.o.body knew how long that corpse had been sitting there. It was covered with dust, but it hadn’t rotted yet.

There was a small b.l.o.o.d.y hole between its eyebrows, and there were cracks everywhere, which made its head look like cracked china.

The blood hole between its eyebrows was what had taken its life.

“It’s been dead for such a long time, yet it still hasn’t rotted yet. It must have once been a great being,” Blackie said.

“If he really was a great being, his body should release terrifying forces even after he died so that ordinary creatures can’t get close. However, I’ve been in the cabin for a long time, yet I couldn’t detect anything.”

Zhang Ruochen pinched his chin and felt confused. And then, his eyes gleamed. He said, “There must be some valuable with him that covers his forces.”

Zhang Ruochen couldn’t afford to be reckless at all in a place like the ancient ghost boat. He released his mind power and made sure there were no dangers before walking to the corpse.

There was a white token hung on a silver thread.

Zhang Ruochen took the token off and wiped away the dust.

There were eight sword inscriptions on the token, and each inscription had different conception.

Zhang Ruochen released his mind power and infused the token with it.

All of a sudden, the eight sword inscriptions released white light. They gushed out and turned into eight daggers that were three inches long, wielding eight different sword techniques.

All the eight sword techniques looked mysterious, but Zhang Ruochen could feel that their forces were different, especially the seventh and the eighth sword techniques, which were changeable and intricate. Even Zhang Ruochen had to back off from them.

Zhang Ruochen immediately took out his mind power and said in a thrilled tone, “‘Celestial Sword Technique’ of Wan Xiangcheng?”

Wan Xiang City was called ‘Sword City, which was ranked one of the four sword master holy places, together with Sword Paviliion of Taichi, Pluto Sword Tomb of w.a.n.g family, and Martial G.o.d Mountain.

Wan Xiang City’s ‘Celestial Sword Technique’ was world-renowned, so Zhang Ruochen also knew something about it.

It was said that the founders of Wan Xiang City created it by comprehending ‘Wordless Sword Manual.’

The first level of the sword techniques corresponded to Sword One.

The second level of sword techniques corresponded to Sword Two.

Hence the eighth level of sword techniques corresponded to Sword Eight.

Compared to ‘Wordless Sword Manual,”Celestial Sword Technique’ was easier to comprehend. Besides, the sword master conception could be transformed into sword techniques directly.

A sword warrior could also comprehend Sword One, Sword Two and Sword Three.

Eight hundred years ago, Sword Emperor Xue Hongchen added level nine and level ten to ‘Celestial Sword Technique,’ which made it the most powerful sword technique in Kunlun’s Field.

Zhang Ruochen turned the token around, and ‘Wan Xiang City’ was crafted on it.

“This person was carrying the eight-sword token of Wan Xiang City, which means he refined the eighth level of ‘Celestial Sword Technique.’ He must be a terrific person,” Zhang Ruochen said.

Blackie said, “I reckon this person’s been dead for three hundred years.”

‘Three hundred years ago, there were nine sword saints in Wan Xiang City. It crushed the other three sword master holy places and was ranked the first. Out of the nine sword saints, six of them were disciples of Sword Emperor. Three of the sword saints died, and two went missing.”

“That person must have been the most powerful being in Wan Xiang City three hundred years. He was the second disciple of Sword Emperor, Xue Lanshan.”

After thinking for a while, Zhang Ruochen figured out who that was.

Sword Emperor only admitted females as his disciples, yet he was willing to admit Xue Lanshan, which showed the potential of Xue Lanshan.

All the monks thought that Xue Lanshan was the heir of the Sword Emperor.

Xue Lanshan didn’t let the Sword Emperor down. After the Sword Emperor went missing, he quickly became the first being in Wan Xiang City.

If he hadn’t died here three hundred years ago, he might’ve comprehended Sword nine and become the most powerful sword warrior in the world.

“Xue Lanshan was mighty. Perhaps only a few beings below supreme saints could rival him, yet he was killed on the ancient ghost boat. Is there something more terrifying than the evil saint thought bodies?”

Zhang Ruochen’s face paled as he realized he had underestimated the danger of the ancient ghost boat.

Zhang Ruochen had heard from Ao Xinyan that after someone reached the state of saint, the more profound his cultivation was, the easier it was for him to die in Yin and Yang Ocean. He hadn’t believed that before, but now it all made sense.

Zhang Ruochen took the eight sword token and kept searching the corpse. He took out a palm-sized hexagonal stone.
