Li Chengfeng excitedly followed his Grand Senior Brother through a long canyon and arrived at the deepest part of the Ten Thousand Sword Mountain — The Valley of Ten Thousand Swords
This was the place Chengfeng had i in his inificence of as before him
Instead of calling this a valley, it would be more appropriate to call it otherworldly The Valley of Ten Thousand Swords felt as if it was separated fro looked up, what seemed to be a layer of a dense and dark canopy loo htly Whatthe sparkling stars of the canopy, countless swords of all shapes and sizes were floating slowly along with the galaxy As they were clustered together, the scene rese with the galaxy
With a glance, Chengfeng could see that this huge 'dragon' was strong andAs it sloahtly clashed against each other, producing a constant sound ofHowever, this sound was made very frequent, and the swords were densely clustered As a result, the 'dragon' eiant tidal waves crashi+ng against each other
Beneath the dark canopy laid countless sword tombs These sword to the entire valley to look rough and terrifying The air within the Valley of Ten Thousand Swords was filled with a chilling and deathly still atmosphere
“Is this the Valley of Ten Thousand Swords?” asked Chengfeng in shock His reaction was a result of the on, as well as the horror of witnessing the countless densely packed tombs that laid underneath them
“This… is the final resting place of all our seniors' heroic spirits from Hidden Sword Court…” Grand Senior Brother explained with a coht that laid in front of him “One day, I too will be buried within these walls, and the Heaven Splitting Sword that I wield… would also return to the Dragon of Ten Thousand Swords”
Li Chengfeng looked at Grand Senior Brother, and solemnly replied, “No, you won't!”
Grand Senior Brother was taken aback by his response, then angrily scolded, “Do you think I'm not worthy?!”
Grand Senior Brother viewed Hidden Sword Court as his life, to hi able to be buried within the Valley of Ten Thousand Sas the highest level of honour that he could i's sudden retort was like an arrow to his heart, it was unforgivable!
Chengfeng had no fear on his face, he seriously explained, “If you were to die, that would mean that Hidden Sword Court is totally done for! By that time, who do you think will retrieve your corpse and sword? Who do you think will carve a wooden tomb for you?”
Grand Senior Brother stared at Chengfeng, his anger had now dissipated Instead, it was now replaced with deep sadness and pain He took a deep breath and pointed towards the highest platform in the valley “Go there, it is the closest place to approach the Dragon of Ten Thousand Swords When the ten thousand swords start to float past you, pick out a sword that would belong solely to you”
A visibly confused Chengfeng asked, “But, there are so many swords! Hoould I knohich sword to pick?”
Grand Senior Brother turned his back away fro and flatly replied, “It is not you who chooses the sword, but the sword that chooses you When the heavenly sword that belongs solely to you is near, it will automatically fly towards you”
Chengfeng was surprised, he gave it soht and nodded But as he continued to ponder, he still had a question that needed answers “But, are the swords psychic? How could it possibly knohether or not I'm suitable for it?”
“Every sword possesses a piece of their previous wielder's sword spirit and intent, the owner of the sill then attach their own intent and spirit onto their neords This, in turn, would transforical ones, it would then officially possess a soul Although it is unable to think, in terms of battle, it has become its instinctIt can feel the unique aura that flows through your body, it will then inch closer if you have a similar aura as their previous owners That is how they will choose you”
“And if there were multiple swords that choose one person at the same time?”
Grand Senior Brother sneered, “Then just choose one that feels right for you…” as he finished his sentence, he suddenly disappeared in a flash When he reappeared, he was already standing by the lowest point of the valley, a few meters shy from the tombs
Chengfeng stared at the stone tombs near Grand Senior Brother and could barely make out the words “Tomb of the Heavenly Thirteen Swords” carved on a stone tablet on top of the grave that belonged to what see swept his gaze over it, he only saw 12 burial mounds
Grand Senior Brother took out a bottle of wine froround in the process He then sat in front of the grave and drank his wine as he numbly stared at the to
